AN Indiana paper tells the following
about minister who was officiating in
the town for the first time. AS he
was ascending the pulpit steps one Of
the elders buttonholed him to whisper
an additional word Of caution:
"The liquor dealer has just come
into church, and he gives us a lift
sometimes. ! wish you would be par
ticular not to alade to the whisky
business or the temperance question"
The young minister getting fright
cned to see the moral ground thus
steadily narrowing before him, inquired:
"Whom or what shall | preach
against, then 7"
The elders reply came like an air Of
triumph:
Preach against the Mormons; they
have not got friend in town"

To the Editor Of the Keanebec Journal
There has been no important political
change since my last letter was written ex-
cept that produced by the last veto of the
Pesident which, however, was anticipated and
only confirmed the course which had already
been decided on-yiz a half-concealed back
Gown from the position first taken.
To-day, if the democracy could get out of
the dilemma in which they are placed, in any
respectable manner and without a publicly
confessed back-down, they would pass the ap-
preparations pure and simple in twenty four
hours and go home. But their threats and
promises have been of SO positive nature
that il hurts their bravado and pride to swal-
low the pill which eventually must be taken.
Nothing is now surer than that the President
will veto any proposition they may pass which
smacks at limitation of his prerogative, and
it is but waste of time for the democratic
Congress to stay here and send in patched
up and restricted appropriation bills. The
weather is warm, the whiskey is getting poor
the members are getting SICK and they them
selves, as we'll as the country generally, are
getting Disguised. The demoralizing effects
of hot and sultry weather and heated and
useless debates are telling rapidly on the

The temperance paper published at Port
land, the Living Issue, says: The Demo-
cratic party have slimed the Greenbackers
from head to foot, and now stand ready to
swallow them when the opportune moment
shall have arrived. The swallowing pro-
cess was attempted last winter, but it was
only delayed in the hope that the republi-
can party might be the recipient of anoth-
er blow from the Greenbackers this fall
The democrats are doing all in their pow
er to accelerate the efforts of the green
hackers. The Argus gives long and
gushing report of the Greenbaek conven-
ton, and has a soft and hatterine leader
on the glorious prospects of the Greenback
party in Maine. The Argus has really be-
come the organ of the greenback party in
Maine, and is in reality only playing sec.
ond fiddle to the old Democratic party
but when the greenbackers shall be gath
cred into the democratic fold this stauncl
old democratic paper will return to the
advocacy of the principles it has, fora time
discarded

The Galf States Fair.

While in New Orleans during
last week we met our old friend, f. Fl
Ayers, who is the general superin
tendcnt of thea gricultural Industri
al and Mechanical exposition which
opens at the fair grounds in that
city on the 18th day of February,
and closes on the 24th-day before
the carnival. Having little time to
spare for sightseeing, we gladly
accepted of Il polite invitation and
took stroll ont to tho grounds,
and making our entrance at the
ESplanade street gate, the first OBJ
jpct that attracted our attention
was the large shed. where we found
ample arrangements for the foul
department. From there passed
on to machinery hall, which we
found had been thoroughly put in
order, and ready for the immediate
reception of such articles as are
usually displayed in that depart
ment. Still seeking more light,
and to give our readers informa.
ton in matters that may serve to
interest them, we loitered through
tart hail." which we are pleased to
say, has been rejuvinated and in
complete order. On ascending the
stairway we found all the arrange
ments in the way Of stands etc. for
the floral department completed,
and learned that the efficient direc.
tor, g. A. Miltenberger, Esq, has
his entire place filed to repletion.
Entering the next building, which
we also found in excellent condi. !
ton, we discovered that about |
eighty feet of its upper end had
been cut off for theatre, the stage
of which is about thirty feet in
width, on which the amateur clubs
of the city will perform every night.
There will also be skating during
the day under the supervision of
Prof. Ley, who has a skating rink at
hall, on Carondelet
street. On the same stage is to be
a grand baby show, when fond moth
prs will have the opportunity to
display their prodigies to an admir-.
ing and appreciating public.
We take great pleasure in assur-
ng our readers and the public of

been spared on the part of the man

The Ph0AOgrapH.
This most wonderful instrumer

THIS most wonderful instrument
was on exhibition at Moss Point
last Monday night, and at this
place Tuesday night, and we
thought Il large audience would
have been in attendance at both
places to witness the strange and
almost miraculous performances of
this talking machine. 1t seems,
however that the managers found
an unappreciative public in our
people, AS there was u slim attend
ance at each place, though the no
tice given was quite limited. The
photograph actually talks, barks,
crows, ETC., and will reproduce al
most any sound spoken through
the mouth piece over the diaph-
gram, and is really "A wonderful in-
vention.
1t would be unnecessary for US
to describe the phOnograph, as
most of our readers have read de-
scliptions of it, besides it would
have to be seen to thoroughly un-
derstand it, but this much we will
say, it is really worth seeing, and
those who failed to attend these
exhibitions lost an opportunity
of gaining information that is real
ly valuable. However, through
the kindness of Mr.. G. Barnes, of
Mobile, the photograph will again
be on exhibition at Live Oak
academy, at Moss Point, Monday
night, the proceeds to be given to
the Presby yterian church of that
place, and on Tuesday night an ex-
hibition will be given at Scranton
academy, the proceeds to be given
to the Baptist church of this place.
