coLunBuS SLosT.AscHoR REcovrREO

A curious relic OF one ofthe expeditions
which sailed to the West Indies under the
command OF Columbus, has, II Is stated
by Martinique journal, been recently
discovered. On the 4th OF August, 1888,
small squadron of three vessels nnder
the orders of Christopher Columbus was
anchored of the southeastern extremity
of the island Of Trinidad. Late at night
Columbus, II is related by Washington
Irving, suddenly saw a wall of water sp-
proachlug towards the fleet from the
south. His own vessel was lifted up 80
high by the incoming wave that he feared
1t would either be submerged or dashed
on shore, when the cable of one Of the
other ships parted under the strain to
which it was subjected. The crews of
the vessels gave themselves up for lost,
bat after time the wave, which IL is sur
missed must have beeu caused by an ex.
ceptionally large body Of water coming
suddenly down one OF the rivers flowing
iBto the golf ol Paria, ebbed back again.
The sudden rise OF the waters OF the gulf
is mentioned by Columbus son, FerdlD-
and, who adds that the feet suffered no
damage save the loss of one anchor. II is
this anchor which has now been found,
and strangely enough 1t was dug up from
q depth of only six feet below the surface
oi the ground, at a spot three hundred
and seventy feet from the nearest point
of the coast line. This land, II is well
known, isgainiug upon the sea along the
shores Of Yenzuela, SO that where ships
once rode at anchor, gardens are now
planted. The anchor itself il Of simple
form aud comparatively rnde manufac.
ture the stock being eight feet long and
round, with a ring at one end one foet In
diameter TO which 10 make fast the cable,
and With hukes Eve feet long, the whole

A Blow at Business.

The Algus is busily engaged nowadays
in giving aid and comfort to the Greenback-
ers. While pretending to support Garcelon
on a hard-money platform it is doing what
lies in its power to elect Smith. Last week
it published an editorial article sneering at
the reports of the revival of business, and
intimating that they are false. 1t strove to
convey the idea that times are no better,
that commerce and manufactures are not
looking up, that the resumption of sps Gle
payments has not been benefit to the coun-
try, and that the currency question should
be further agitated. 1t did not say all these
things plainly, but conveyed some of them
indirectly. The whole intent of the article
was to persuade people that the reported re-
vival of business is sham and that they
must support the Democratic -Greenback
coalition in order to get relieved of their bur-
dens. The intent was quickly perceived by
the Greenback editors. The Leader has
already copied it in full, and doubtless other
Greenback sheets will follow its example.
In publishing that article the Argus
sinned against light 1t knows that bust
ness is improving that manufactures are
starting up, that labor is finding employ
ment, that collections are easier Its own
columns during the Spring and first month
of Summer have told the same story. The
merchants who advertise i'll those columns
will confirm the report. Let its editor go on
to the street and ask our merchants if busi-
ness is reviving and they will tell him it is
The receipts of his own counting-room if
they could speak would say the same. Yet
in order to confirm misguide people in the
Greenback delusion, in order to advance the
success of the corrupt coalition now seeking
the control Of the State government, in order
to further partisan purposes, the Argus
affects to disbelieve the evidences of return
ing prosperity and strives to weaken busi-
ness confidence and discourage reviving
trade. Perhaps its patrons will approve its
course, but the more reasonable belief is
that they will condemn it as wicked and
shameless.

ter counsels would prevail. Our views of duty
have at length diverged so widely that it is
vain to hope for anything like reconcilement.
The financial principles in which we believe,
and from declaration in favor of which the
Democracy so suddenly fell away, still live in
their vigor. With an adherence to the demon
strated ability of the country to make good its
pledges-a belief in its future, commercial, in
dustrial, moral and political-with the Repub-
lican party as their best exponent and exemplar
we place ourself with those whom we believe
to be right, and pledge our best efforts to labor

1t is pleasant to take honey. 1t relieves the

have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria.

A Welcome Recruit.

The Belfast journal which has by con-
fession long stood, so far as ability is con-
cerned, at the head of the Democratic press
of this State, announces in the vigorous and
logical article elsewhere reprinted from its
columns, that it will support the Republican
candidate for Governor in this campaign,
and that it can no longer consistently or
conscientiously remain in an organization
which has deserted the principles it was
formed to carry out and rejected the doe
trines of its founders. The accession of the
Journal and its able and brilliant editor will
be hailed with unaffected delight by the Re-
publicans of Maine. There is no man
in the Democratic party who would be more
warmly welcomed, and no other of the Dem
ocratic journals whose aid is so desirable.
The motives that have induced the Belfast
Journal to take the action it has are so fully,
clearly and ably set forth in its own article
republished in another column, that they
need not be given here. That article voices
the growing feeling of discomfort in the
minds of conscientious Democrats who find
their party openly supporting, or covertly
aiding the wretched and dangerous fiat
money heresy. Difficult as it is for them to
break away from the associations of a life
time they are conscious that they must do it
or abandon their principles, forfeit their self
respect and lend their aid to those who are
seeking to ruin the credit of the country by
disordering its finances. Let us hope that
they will be rs brave and outspoken as Will
liam II. Simpson, and give their support to the
only political organization that has the power
and will to defy the paper money imitation
lists and dsturbers of the currency

THE Oxford Democrat pays its respects to
the Algus after this fashion:
The Argus is one of those papers which for
gets every few days what it has previously
said. Now it declares that Mr.. Davis, our can
ddate for Governor, was Mr.. Hamlin's man.
Only a short time since, it remarked that Eu-
gene Hale was the candidate of Blaine, Ham
lin & Co., and that his nomination would be
forced upon the convention. If the Argus had
q representative at Bangor, last Thursday he
knows that the statement in regard to Mr. Da-
Wis is absolutely FALSE and that the candidate
was taken up spontaneously by the convention.
The two statements of the Argus do not CORE
spond, and thus prove that neither of them are
correct.

the ''Anti-Dyspeptics' of the Bangor Com
mercidl got into the editorial column 1t
reads thus: ''Our worthy and honorable

Some Common Medical Terms.

Medicine, like every science, has its
peculiar terms which seem barbarous
to the public. They secure brevity and
exactness. Some of them, however,
have become more or less familiar to the
people at large. and it may be we'll from
time to time to explain a few of them.
An epidemic is a disease due to some
widespread cause, n prevailing
through d large extent of territory.
Thus the inauenza-a kind of fever Of
short run-has repeatedly swept through
whole nations, sometimes from one end
of the earth to the other, always from
east to west.
An endemic disease is due to local
causes an is generally restricted to the
localities in which they originate. Fever
and ague is IN endemic disease. Some
times an endemic disease becomes cpl
demic. Cholera, endemic in India, oc-
casionally sweeps through the world ;
and yellow fever, endemic in the West
Indies, is conveyed to u Southern
States, where it becomes q ~desolating
epidemic. Sometimes an imported cpl
demic NAV leave behind it germs from
which the disease may in time under
favoring circumstances burst out anew.
A disease is said to be sporadic when
cases of it occur here and there without
any connection between them.
An epizootic-pronounced ~epi-zo-ot-ic,
not epi-zoot-ic-is an epidemic among
domestic animals. The n which spread
among our horses a few years ago, max
ing our cities through the week stiller
than an ordinary Sabbath, was of the
nature of ON influenza, though it largely
affected the spinal cord Youths Conf
panton.

Americas Large Farms.

The English investigators in this
country, says Il New York paper, will
be astonished to learn that farming in
some parts of the United States is carried
on on a scale unparalleled by any other
people in the world. Years ago. when
Jacob Strawn was the farmer king o
Illinois. his farm numbered owe 40, Nc0
acres. He used TO remark that he
wanted Morgan county, in which to
grow corn for his immense herds of catf
tie and horses, and Greene county in
which to pasture them. A farm which
is Il common topic of Qualification among
the citizens of the Northwest is that be-
longing to Mr.. William Dalrymple, in the
northern part Of Minnesota. 1t covers
thirty square miles. The quantity sown
with wheat in 1878 was 20,90 O acres; the
WELD was $50, 900 bushels of wheat.
Seventy-tive reaping and binding ma
chimes were used to harvest the crop.
the work being done at the rate of 1000
acres q day. This farm is divided into
sections off, 900 acres, over each ofwhich
an overseer is placed. Comfortable
dwellings are provided for the overseers,
while there is a large 5oarding-house for
the accommodation of the farm hands.
The vast estate employs upward of $50
laborerS and about $50 horses and mules.
There are three bookkeepers to look
after the accounts, and two cashiers to
receive and distribute the money. A
neighbor of Mr.. Dalrymple is Mr.. B. p.
Cheney, formerly of Boston. who has Il
small farm Of 5000 acres. Last year he
harvested AZ, 900 bushels of wheat, 5000
of oats, and 5000 of ban ley. The ma
chinery on this farm consists of forty
plows, sixteen seeders, forty harrows,
sixteen harvesters. three steam-thresh-
inc machines, and three portable steam
engines. But, after all, the average
Western farmer has no more than a
"quarter section " of land. that is to say,
l60 acres; and this himself and one hired
man, with two teams of horses, can
cas- ly work, with a little help at harvest
time.
