A man calling himself E. J. Dunn has been
swindling the people of Penobscot county by
going into different towns and getting sub
scribers for a local paper which he says he is
going to establish. After issuing a few copies
he clears out leaving his bills unpaid He has
operated in Knox and Waldo counties, and
last winter started papers in Brewer, Carmel,
Dixmont and Kenduskeag. His last place has
been Oldtown, which he has just left, and
gone to Midway and that vicinity. He is full
size, light hair and side whiskers, of gentle
manly appearance and though, perhaps, not OF
sound mind yet well calculated for the little
game he has thus far played successfully.

Walter Scotts tribute to Fox they
Stood by their countrys honor fast,
And nailed her colors to the mast
Nor would he pass from this tributory duty
without some reference to two gentlemen upon
whose interest in, and knowledge of, the ques-
lions involved, in all their aspects and rela-
tons, these functionaries always and safely
reled-Col John G. Deane and Hon. Charles
S. Davies.
Never, he said, was there such a history of
errors, mistakes, plumbers, explanations, apol-
ogies, losses and notifications on one side-of
Inconsistencies aggressions, Entertainments,
affronts and contempts on the other. And in
the calm of this day, when all direct practical
and indignity has slept for more than third
of a century, it is impossible for one to read 1t
with cOmposure or patience.
Mr.. Washburn then read the text OF the
boundary line of the treaty of 1888. lie SAID
the language was too plain to admit OF dis
pute, and yet under it four important ques-
lions had arisen: las to the river st. Croix;
2-as to which Of the af1uents of the St.
Croix was the source OF that river,
within the intention Of the treaty;
3-as to the island in Passamaquoddy Bay;
4-as to the northwest angle of Nova Scotia
and the highlands that divide the rivers that
fall into the Atlantic ocean from those which
empty themselves into the st. Lawrence-and
all of them had been decided against the
United States.
lie examined each OF these queStlonS. II
respect to the first, he showed by the testl-
mony of Generals Knox and Lincoln, Com
missioners of the State of Massachusetts, who
visited st. Andrews and the surrounding
country i'll 1884, by the dispositions of John
Mitchell and others who had made an actual
survey, by letters of John Jay, Mr.. Adams
and DIR. Franklin, the American commissioners
by whom the treaty was negotiated, that the
Magaguadavic was the true st. Croix. 1t was
the st: Croix marked as the boundary by the
commissioners on both sides on Mitchell S
map, map which was brought to the treaty
by the British commissioners, and used by all.
The testimony of these gentlemen was en-
phatic and absolutely decisive of the question.
Three rivers had been known as the ST. Croix,
the Magaguadavic, the Schoodic and the
Cobscooh-which was the one intended and
fixed on in the treaty? 1t waSspurely oues-
ton of fact, and the facts We're never CON
tested, but plausible arguments of inconve-
nience and appeals to American generosity

THE SUNDAY LAW.
The Order OF the Police and Fire Com
missIOners as to Closing Whisky
saloons, Cigar stores and Other
Places OF Business on sunday,
Not Enforced on sunday
Last.

The order Of the chief Of police to have all
| saloons, cigar stores and other places of bust
ness closed on Sunday last, proved big failure
| SO lar as successfully carrying out the order
OF the police and FIRE commissioners was con-
| cerned. There was quite as much drinking,
and probably more, carried on on Sunday
last than on former Sundays. Quite num-
Der OF the leading salOon-keepers closed
their bars and houses. All the cigar stores
wee closed, but many other saloons re-
NAMED open, and sold wine, beer, whisky
and cigars to any person who called for
them. The hotels and restaurants
NAMED open, but the bars belonging to the
same were apparently closed. 1t was an easy
matter to sit down at a table and order
drinks; you received them in cups at several
places and In glasses at others. The usual
inquiries were as follows: 81 want some tea
aud sugar" ''I'll take my tea
straight" Give me a cup of chocolate"
which was lager beer; "I'll take smoke"
At other places hotel-men asked, care you a
guest of the house?' 1t you replied 81 am,
then you were informed that you could walk
up stairs, take seat and order what you
wanted; Several saloons KEEP their back
and side doors unlocked, and visitors could
walk up to the bars and get anything they
wanted, in the usual style. Other places had
their front doors unlocked, and did business
IN defiance of the police order. But few ar
rests were made by the police authorities for
violating the Sunday law and ''order''--a
law or order which, If not carried out rig
orously and fairly as to all persons, becomes
an engine OF oppression as to those who OBJ.
serve it. Sunday last the attempt to enforce
the order was farce, failure of lamenta-
BILE character, and, if not carried out more
strictly on Sunday next, the order had
better be rescinded, and other measures as
to regulating the sale of liquors, cigars, etc.,
should be adopted. Why the order was not
carried out strictly and enforced against all
alike, is the conundrum to be asked.

A COPY of the Malta Times and United
Service Gazette, of the first of February,
the following: Colonel Asher r. Eddy, OF
the United States army, died suddenly at the
Imperial shotel in Malta on the morning OF
the twenty-seventh instant. He had arrived
but the day previous, with his wife anu
daughter from Cairo, where, for several
weeks he had been unwell, though not
thought to be dangerously so-with the
Egyptian dysentery. We learn that Colonel
Eddy was a native of Rhode Island, in the
United States; was born in 1924; was a
graduate of the United States military acad-
envy at West Point, of the class of 1874;
served in the Mexican war, and at the break
ing out of the rebellion In 1861, was given
an important command in Tennessee, and
throughout the long struggle served has
country with all the bravery and devotedness
of a gallant soldier and patriot. In all his
social relations-both among his military
comrades and his large circle of acquaint-
ances-he was universally beloved and respect
ed. His wife, who is a niece of the re-
nowned General Sam Houston, of Texas, is
completely overwhelmed by the sudden and
terrible bereavement which has befallen her.
The military commandant of Malta,
Hon. Major General Fielding, with the
hearty approval of his excellency the COVER
nor, Sir Arthur Borton, kindly offered the
American Iconsul, Mr.. Henry Ruggles, a
military escort to the funeral cortege, but the
necessity of an immediate burial prevented
the acceptance of the kind offer. By the
death of Colonel Eddy, General Hancock, of
the United States army, is the only survivor
of the class of 1874"
