A Sailor I'm our Port.
Some six weeks ago man belonging in one
of our back towns became tired of farm life,
and going to Gardiner shipped on board of a
schooner bound to port in one of the Middle
States. On Thursday last the vessel returned
to Gardiner and among its crew was
our friend the farmer who had now bios
somed into full fedged sailor. Having
acquired q taste for rowing he and
brother shipmate came to Augusta, on Friday
night last, both being attired in their best, ar
irving by the evening train. One of the men
would readily be taken for sailor, but the
other was rarer specimen. He was tall he
was slim, he stopped, his pants were buckled
so tight they almost tripped him and the tall
hat which he wore was so large that it was only
kept from covering his head by catching on
his ears.
The Deputy Marshal had watched their
proceedings for q while. and. concluding
they we're species Of the gamy tramp, ran them
into the lookup. On searching them it was
soon discovered by never failing rule that
they were not tramps, they having some nine

says most of the complaints came from New

veloped more strong is his conviction that the
order should have been enforced years ago.
He declines to rescind the order.

is of good quality, and the yield, they

An Infant ON . Spree.

An Infant ON = Spree.
The Portland Press says: Yesterday
morning, about 8 o'clock, little boy, aged
three years, named Sanborn, whose par ents
reside on Newbury street, saw team stand
ing by the sidewalk. 1t was a nice light
wagon to which white horse was attached
Into this carriage the infant scrambled, gath
cred up the reins in his tiny hands, and drove
off with the assurance and GOODNESS of vet
eran. Finding the animal did not proceed at
pace fast enough to please him, he man
aged to draw the whip from the socket and
laid on the lash with an energy that surprised
''Old Whitney" The animal had good blood
in him and away he went at three minute
gait causing other teams to give him wide
berth. The owner caught sight OF his equip
age and started in pursuit. He might as well
have tried to catch a will o. the wisp. Other
teams joined in the pursuit, at the request Of
the anxious proprietor of the stolen team,
but the little rascal managed to evade them
all. At last, when the horse began to show
signs of exhaustion, the child drove him into
stable on Pearl street, and vanished.
The boy was in high feather with his sue
cess and he next got into a team which was
drawn by black horse, and again the for
mer experience was repeated. Leaving this
wagon he appropriated horse and buggy that
was said to be the team of Mr.. Sawyer, the
agent of the society with the long name, and
was driving off when a man sprang forward
and seized the horse by the bride. To him
sternly this precocious infant remarked,
"Leth go that 'ors or l sap 90 fathe." The
man was so dumb-founded at the chid's
brusqueness that he dropped the bride and
away went the child and team. Around and
around he went but the team was captured on
Exchange street. and, as the captor was about
to seize the boy 10! he was gone like nim-
BILE flea, and slipped into Judge Goddard's
carriage standing at the Post Office. But
this time the crowd, which had gathered, was
too quick for the infant and he was gobbled
and taken before the Postmaster. Male and
female clerks gathered to see this remarka-
BILE child and hear him recapitulate, with in
fantile glee, and in baby tongue, how he
seized Mr. Mans team and had a good time.
He was escorted to his home by one Of the
clerks followed by the admiring public in the
shape of long string of men, women and
boys, and when he reached home told his
mother che had ever so nice time with a
white 'ors, and hack 'ors, and been every
where" The boy was gone from o'clock till
after l2. In order to make sure Of the child's
age the mother was asked the question and
she replied he was only three years old.
