Let man 60 to Congress" as we
say, and he will soon find that he is
amid variety of dialects. The House
of Representatives assemblies its mem
bers from every portion Of the Union,
aDd although many of the members are
sufficiently educated and travelled to
have shed many of their peculiarities of
speech, there will still be found abund-
ant opportunity to study our dialects.
Many will betray their "native," " as Ken
tuckians term it, at the first opening of
their lips. 1t my only be a cry of "Or-
derp or it may only be an address to the
Chair, "Mr Speaker" or it may only be
an allusion TO "the gentleman from New
York." or "the gentleman from Vir-
ginia"--it Is enough. In a casual look
ing-in on the Senate have heard as
characteristic New Englandism as are to
be found in "Sam Slick" and as choice
specimens Of Tennessee eloquence as are
to. be found reported in the pages of
'Davy Crockett" Some years ago it
was that Mr.. Chambers of Pennsylvania
was SO vexed at the pronunciation given
his name By the Clerk of the House that
he at length refused to answer it. The
Clerk was a Virginian, and persisted in
calling "Jeems Chawmbers Jeems
Chawmbers p A most important vari-
ETY. of our speech is that which is of
Scotch-Irish origin. The dialect of
Pennsylvania is mainly Scotch-Irish.
This is the more remarkable when we
remember that settlers of Pennsylvania
were largely of the class of English
Quakers, and that subsequently, the Ger
mans have come in almost overwhelming
force. From Eastern Pennsylvania the
Scotch-Irish spread abroad, going up the
Cumberland valley into Virginia, and
crossing tbe Alleghnnies both in Penn
sylvania aud Virginia. The dialect is
broadly defined, both against the people
Of New York on the north and the people
Of Old Virginia on the south and west.
No one ut all acquainted with the
Scotch-Iligb dialect would be at loss
to Identify the main peculiarities Of
speech exhibited in all the region
indicated, The Pennsylvania says
''strenth" and "lenth" for strength and
length. Ge says "cannle" and "hannle"
and "bunnle" for candle, handle
and bundle, He says "I want out"
and 81 want down." for 81 want to get
out" and 81 want to get down" He
says he will wait on you when he means
he will wait "for YOU" If person has
had slight sicknass and has speedily
gotten over it, the Pennsylvania will
say Of him that she took sick" but it
was only q "brash," and he soon got
'quite better" The Pennsylvania
often uses "nor" for than, after q COM
parative adjective. One thing is "more
nor another" or "better nor another"
So 'till' Is often substituted for "to" in
the Pennsylvania dialect A horse
comes til the stable, or the boy till the
schoolhonse. The word "into' is much
used for ''in" in Pennsylvania A horse
will be said to have white spot into
his forehead, or D field a fine spring

PENNINGTON.
Republicans Aroused by the Maine
Standards Slanders-Delegates to the
County Convention.

The Republicans of Pennington had q eau
Gus Saturday afternoon last to choose % dele
held here Saturday Aug I'd. The Republicans
are we'll united and strong purpose manifest
ed to do their whole duty on the Sth of Sep
tember The attacks made in the Maine STAN
dard by E. f. Pilsbury, on the military record
of Hon. Daniel T. Davis adds to their zeal in
this town. 1t is not forgotten that he published
an abusive paper called the Patriot, in this viii
lage during the rebellion, in which abuse
was heaped on the character of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Gen. Grant, and every promi-
nent Union man who opposed the overthrow of
the Government by Jeff Davis and the rebel
horde; so the stories published in the Standard
fall harmless in Franklin County for the reason
that E. f. Pillsbury is its editor. Neither is
forgotten the tempest in teapot riot he insti-
gated in Kingfield to prevent the draft. during
the rebellion, and his cowardly hiding in his
boots when danger threatened. Senator Hill of
Georgia accurately described Pillsbury when
he referred to the Copperheads in the North as
Southern allies he said: Gin peace incincibte
in war inUiSible."
The Hon. Daniel f. Davis and other promi-
nent speakers will be at the County convention
in Pennington, August I'd.

Blessing Bells.

The &C remony of blessing the new chime of
bells for st. Mary's Cathedral Halifax, N. S..
took place Sunday afternoon and evening, July
90, seven of the smaller bells being consecrated
at 3 o'clock, and the large one, which weighs
1900 pounds, at o'clock, with an imposing
service. AS early as o'clock the Cathedral
was thronged with people of all religions, and
at the hour of commencing for lack of standing
room hundreds were turned away The choir
sang several sacred hymns and psalms, imme-
diately after which Bishop Healy of Portland
preached an eloquent sermon appropriate to
the occasion. He explained the origin of bells,
dwelt upon the various uses to which they
were put in olden times told how the Catho-
lie church blesses all objects devoted to its
sacred rites, and that therefore as the bell was
an instrument OF much Importance it required
special attention and ceremonies in its conse-
Grafton. His explanation of the Roman ritual
on this subject was explicit, well delivered and
the blessing of bells was considered of so much
Importance He concluded with a brilliant
peroration. The discourse lasted three-quar-
tiers OF an hour.
His Grace, Archbishop Hannah of Halifax,
assisted by the Revs. Power and Carmody,
then proceeded to bless the large bell which
occupied prominent position in the nave of
the high altar and was suspended from a huge
frame handsomely festooned. The bell in the
baptism received the name of ''St Mary"
During the annointment of its various parts
the clergy, assisted by the choir, chanted the
Psalms from David. This portion of the SER
vice was very imposing. After this a collec-
ton was taken and from the amounts collect
ed at the various masses handsome sum was
realized. A solemn benediction by the Arch
bishop concluded the ceremony, which lasted
two hours. The following are the names given
the bells in the order of their size: st. Mary,
ST. Joseph, st. Patrick, st. John the Baptist,
ST. Peter, st. Paul, st. Michael, st. Bridget.

A Walk Through Tuckerman,s Ravine

A Walk Through Tuckerman's Ravine.
A member of the G. R. Davis party, who
visited Mt Washington week ago. gives us
the following interesting account of the ex-
ploration of a snow arch in Tuckerman's "a
vine by some of the party:
The covered arch or tunnel was $50 in length
through the snow and three men from the
Glen and one OF our party went through it.
The four disappeared in cave in the snow.
Getting into the tunnel they wendell their way
quite ditance when darkness suddenly pre-
vailed. All got their feet wet in the water
that was rushing through the tunnel, and the
water dripping from the top soon drenched
them. AT this point they proposed turning
back, but as they were already drenched they
concluded to push through to the opening
above. They soon came to a deep fssure
which let in light, and they concluded to go no
further, but climb up the rocks at this point
To their chagrin the rock was perpendicular
and worn smooth, so there was no chance to
gain hold to climb up. The snow was almost
perpendicular wall about forty feet high. One
attempted the ascent by digging places in the
snow for his hands, then with his boots for
foot-hold for his feet. 1t was slow work and
when he had gained about ten feet his feet lost
their hold and he fell to the bottom. Finding
climbing an impossibility, and after consulting
with one another they concluded to continue
on up the tunnel. Their next obstacle was
steep ascent about twenty feet high. In climb
ing this the water above showered down upon
them, but gaining the top great was their de-
light to see the opening above with the light
streaming in. Here was liberty once more,
they thought but coming to the light they
found precipice it was impossible to scale,
and their only resort was to return the way
they had come.
Arriving at the steep descent of twenty feet
they found it was one thing to get up but quite
a different one to get down. AT the foot
was a large quantity of snow which had fallen
from the top of the tunnel, and they jumped
down into this snow-bank. After eXtricating
each other they continued their march, some
times not seeing each other, although only a
few feet apart. They continually spoke to one
another so as to see that the last one was not
left behind, and after about ten minutes more
CROPPING in the darkness they saw the opening
below, and were soon out lying upon the grass
almost exhausted.
The sun was very warm in the valley so that
in half hours time their clothes were some
what dry, and with the rest of the party and
the guide they commenced the ascent, and in
about two hours were at the Summit House
once more.
The guide, Mr.. Chas Hill, of Beverly, Mass,
added much to the pleasure of the trip to the
ravine by his constant attention to the wants
of the party. j. w.

Faith Convention at the Camp Ground.
OLD ORCHARD, July 20.
The preaching service beginning at 1880 a.
M was held in the tabernacle. The house was
well filled, which fact shows the growing inter
est in these meetings and the appreciation with
which the earnest efforts of DR.. Cults and his
assistants are being regarded.
The service opened with singing by the con-
gregation 81 will sing of my Redeemer," ''Do
you see the Hebrew captive kneeling,' ere
peat the story DER and o'er,'' 'Sing them over
again to me, wonderful words of life, followed
by prayer by Rev. Mr.. Shaw of East Machias
and singing eve reached the land of corn and

The discourse was by Rev. Mr.. Sanford of
Boston, whose text was from Peter, Sd, 1S--
''But grow in grace and in the knowledge of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" AS con-
Meeting links and in support of the text Mr..
Sanford quoted the following passages from the
bible: Peter, LIST and I'd chapters; I'd epistle,
Sd chapter. Mr.. Sanford quoted from some
original extracts from WIN. Mcdonald in sub
sanitation of the speakers theory of the doc
trine of the text.
''Praise God from whom all blessings flow
and the benediction by Rev. Mr.. Shaw.
The afternoon services opened with singing
''Free from the law, o happy condition" ''The
ruler once came to Jesus by night" 81 will
sing of my Redeemer and His wondrous love- y
followed by prayer by Rev. Mr.. Mathews of
Massachusetts,, and singing GIVE reached the
land of corn and wine.''
The address by Mrs. II. w. Smith of Phila-
delphia, was listened to with much interest by
upwards of five hundred, who had gathered in
the grove for that purpose. Her theme was
'Belief and possession of the Holy Spirit. She
said we should not try to make ourselves bet

anything can be accomplished by our own eff

Various projects have been preached from
time to time for supplying Deering with abund-
ance of water, but none of them until now
have amounted to anything. The Portland
Water Company have taken the matter in
hand and yesterday gang of men broke
ground the other side of behring's Bridge for
the main pipe.
Last autumn the pipe was brought down
Portland street from the Aims House, and the
Deering supply will come from the old Port
land main. The main in Deering will be car
ried 5000 feet to Woodford's Corner and
branches will radiate from it into the side
avenues. 1t is expected that the main will
be laid and service pipes set by cold weather.
The new main from the lake, for Portland,
is "a inch and has now reached within four
and half miles of the city. 1t will be ali
finished before snow flies, so that water will
not be furnished Deering from the old main
until the water is provided for Portland from

Portland g. Rochester

The committee on finance of the city govern
ment will probably hold meeting Monday
next to decide upon the acceptance of the
security to be offered by Hon. Geo. p. Wescott,
the purchaser of the road, and will report
decision to the City Council on Monday even
ing.
1t will be remembered the order of sale
reads that the security offered must be salts
factory and that payment must be made in
certain nstalments; so much down, and the
rest in so many years. The question that the
committee will CONSIDER will be what is salts
factory security? City of Portland bonds are
satisfactory security but it is very doubtful if
they could be procured. 1t is thought by
many that the best plan would be to take the
whole amount, in cash, or $211 SEQ. 1t is no
thought the advantage of interest would per-
haps be so great an advantage after all; that
the city would perhaps make fully as much
not to let the money stand on term of years,
and such an arrangement may be fully as ac-
ceptable to Mr. Wescott. If it should be
deemed advisable to take cash an order could
be passed by the council covering the ground
