Thought He was n Robber.

Yesterday morning man walked into OF the

piece of paper he held in his hand while
standing close by the paying teller's desk. he
noticed a lady near but paid little attention to
her at fret After few moments he looked
up again and saw her cycling him very closely

hand. He therefore noticed her more closely

but soon satisfied he was mistaken, passed ont

son, the cashier. going in.
The lady had waited about half an hour
when Mr.. Gilman, who noticed she had been
there some time, inquired if she wanted any-
thing more. She then asked him if he had
noticed the gentleman standing near her ap-
parently engaged in ciphering. lie said he
had not She said from the manner in which
the stranger had eyed her she believed he was
a robber who would follow her after she left
the bank and get her morey After describing
the man Mr.. Gilman asked Mr.. Payson if lie
knew who the fellow was as the lady said he
entered the bank as the man left. Mr.. Pay
son thought moment and then told the lady

HSidsummer Nighi,s Dire am

Mr. Riddle was very happy in his interpreta-
tion of the various characters In Midsummer
Nights Dream last evening. His flexible voice
was heard to the best advantage in his inter-
probation of the various characters and, in the
humorous scenes, he was admirable. The
mock drama of Pyramus and Thisbe was Civ
en- with much comic power and ELECTED shouts
of laughter. Great variety of tone was exhibit
ed, ranging from the rough tones of Bottom TO
the delicate, airy-lik. oresthings of Cobweb
and Mustsrd-seed. The love scenes of Lysan-
der, D-metrius, Helena and Hernia all re-
ceived excellent treatment. At the close Mr..
Riddle was recalled and we hope that on
future occasion be will favor us again with
more profit to himself if not with more pleas
ure to his audiences. The latter would hardly
be possible.

Percen age OF adulteration 23.1
The Revised Statutes state that all liquors
shall be assayed by the State Assayer before,
they are sold by the commissioner or state
agent. An impression prevails that the assayer
shall visit the agency, number of barrels and
furnish duplicate analyses of the liquors, but
the law simply says he shall make an analysis.
1t has been customary we believe for the agents
to take samples from lot of liquor ordered
and send it to the assayer. If he reported I'M
favorably the LIQUOR was returned to the parties
forwarding it. If therefore an analysis should
show that any of these eleven samples sent by
the committee en- the sDgeEcy to Mr.. Bartlett
should prove impure or adulterated, it would
not follow, necessarily, they were intended for
sale, as they may belong to samples ordered
and not purchased liquors. If they were for
sale, and were not such samples, they must
already have been analysed and consequently
the agent must have the assayers certificate of
their purity.
In regard to testified liquors: Mr.. J. F.
Babcock, the Massachusetts Assayer, says:
"What is known as 'rectifed spirit found in
commerce, if subjected to some further purif-
cation, has, it is claimed, all the stimulating
oAoSso Vi shO SuoioeSs iiquoIo Will tuo kEcdt
advantages not only of cheapness but of abb
solute freedom from any adulteration whatever.
Perfectly pure rectifed spirit consists only of
alcohol and water in equal volumes. 1t is
believed the substitution of rectifed spirits for
medicinal purposes in place of brandies,
WHISTLES and wines, is only question of
time" We quote these statements merely to
show that the liquors sold by the State agent
even if rectifed spirits-of which fact we
know nothing-are at all events not impure but
pure spirits.
As to the town agents not purchasing from
the State agent the law requires them SO to do
end if they have broken the law they are
liable and it is not probable. The Portland
ageDt-one of those quoted by the Argus
purchases through the State Agent and under
the direction of the City Committee on the
Agency. There is no agent at Augusta and
has not been for four years. We do not pre-
tend to speak for Mr.. Chase, the former sgent
in this matter. When an official report is
made If any charges are brought against him
he will be prepared, as be informs us, to make
full and complete answer to them

An Indian Wedding,

The Bangor Commercial says that Tuesday
evening the report of six heavy guns was heard
at Bangor from Indian Island, which indicated
that marriage ceremony had taken place
among some of Uncle Samuel's dusky child
rem.
These weddings on the island are always cell
ebr ated by dance in honor of the newly mar
ried pair. On such occasions the bridegroom
prepares for all those who come to his wedding
dance treat. consisting of candy, nuts, apples
and oranges, and on extraordinary occasions
box of cigars.
These refreshments are passed to the guests
assembled in the hall three times during the
evening. At IL o'clock the newly married
pair take leave of their friends and are escorted
by four young braves and as many maidens to
their home, and there remain in the house
chanting SOFT pleasant melody until the
groom and bride retire to their sleeping apart
ment which is the signal for the escort to leave
and return to the dance.
