Spring rOrpOr.

One effect of living in our close, highly
heated houses through the winter is, in nine
cases out of ten, that nature has no opportu-
nifty to throw off the poisonous humors Of
the system. Consequently the liver, bowels
and kidneys are inactive and biliousness, con-
stlpaton, ETC., are the result. Kidney Wort
acts at once on all these organs, and stimu-
Iates them to renewed action, restoring
heal,h and strength.

Wanted the Police.

AS Siler's transfer was returning from de-
livering passengers from the ll:45 west bound
train, on the Mckinney road last night, a
woman living on the corner of Mssten street
and Mckinney avenue called the driver to
send policeman out there to protect her.
She said that man had been prowling
around the house, and that although she had
shot at him twice with pistol he still per-
sisted in haunting the premises. The police
we're notified, but as it was raining hard and
was good ways out the supposition ia that

AT the Dallas Female college last evening
the music class, under Miss Belle Graves, gave
to a well filed room most enjoyable enter
tainment, and were ably assisted in the pro-
gramme by several of Professor McIhany's
scholars. In imitation of the old folks of the
continental times, the different styles of dress
mannersms, etc, were all wildly portrayed
There WAS the old lady with her white cap
black dress, specs, pipe, knitting, etc, and
there were the little ones in their
| rocking-chairs with their dolls.
There were the immense bonnets
that looked like coal.scuttles, the hogshead-
hooped skirt and the beanpole apparel and
the fan that looked like windmill or steam.
boat wheel, or whatever else you please.
Nor was the powdered hair and the snuffbox
and the dipping bottle omitted. All were
there dellneated, and the vocal and other OK.
ercises were in full partnership in the mat
ter of makeup with all the foregoing. To
Miss Graves, to whose assiduous care and
training so much of last evenings entertain
ment was due, the largest credit must bo
awarded; to her pupils, whose ~tnusicsl ac-
complishments are the endorsement of
all this, too much praise for their efforts can.
not be- given. Her "Flow Gently, Sweet
Alton" was touchingly and exqui,ieiy rem
dered, and met with the most enthusiastic re-
ception. Professor M Ilhaney, who always
stri es TO keep his institution of learning
to the highest standard, did we'll in the selec.

by the quartet, was 80 vociferously cheered |
and eneored that the four young ladies we're

Real Estate Titles.

Mr.. John T. Hull of this city has for the
past two years been engaged on a work, which
promises to be of Importance to all persons in
terested in real estate matters. Following the
examples pursued in many western cities, al
though with much greater difficulties than ex-
list there, he has commenced the preparation
of abstracts of the titles of all the separate
parcels of real estate in this city, comprising
about $500 lots, intending to trace them each
to the earliest grants, as recorded in this and
York county, and giving on a page, assigned
to each separate lot, the title as now existing
with the defect if any noted, with the encum-
brances existing on the same. This is kept up
by record, daily, of the changes recorded in
the offices of the registry of deeds and pro-
bate, so that the condition of each
parcel of real estate in this city as to title
sc. can be aseertained by reference to the vol
ume and page on which it has been recorded
1t will require an immense amount of la
Dor to complete the work according to the de-
sign contemplated. He has, however, made
sufficient progress in the same to warrant him
soon to offer it for the use of the public. Those
who have examined the work as it has pro-
crossed, comprising judges of the Supreme
and other courts, prominent lawyers and bust
ness men, have given it their approval and
commentator. To those who desire speedy
and correct information concerning real es-
tate in this city, this work will give them
great facilities. Mr.. Hulls long familiarity
with such matters, and his connection with
the work on the plans and descriptions of
real estate done by the city ''has given him a
more minute and exact knowledge of our real
estate than is usually attainable.''

Found in the Dock,

On Monday night, March 80, man named
Sprague, living on Portland Pier, told Officer
Steele that he heard a splash in the water
short time before, and thought some one had
fallen overheard. The officer made as thorough
search as possible at the time, but discover
ed nothing. Tuesday morning when the tide
had gone out Steele made another inspection,
and on the next wharf found coat doubled
up as though some one had used it for pillow
He gave the coat to Mr. Sprague to take care
Of The officer reported the case at the station,
and word was received that man belonging
to vessel lying at Portland Pier was missing
and that the coat belonged to him. No signs
of the body, however weH at the time dis
covered.
On the same night Officer Hicks had trouble
with sailor on Commercial street, who had
on no coat, and the officer was quite badly cut
across the hand by the follow, who escaped
Mr.. Sprague thought at the time that the
sailor might have been in hurry to get away
from the officer and so have fallen into the
dock. 1t was generally believed, however
that the man escaped.
Yesterday shapeless mass was seen floating
in the water near Portland Pier by Mr.. Savage
Investigation was.made and the object proved
to be the dead body of a man. The corpse had
evidently been in the water for several weeks
and was almost unrecognizable. 1t was identi-
fed, however, as the body of Capt. Llewellyn
Ayres of Monhegan. He was captain of the
schooner Black Hawk which lay at the wharf
on the night when the police had trouble with
the drunken sailor. This man has been missing
from the schooner ever since, and there are no
doubts whatever as to his identity. 1t is prob
able that he was drunk and after his escape
from the officer, in his hurry to get away, in
the darkness he stepped from the wharf into
the water. Mr.. Sprague who lived near, says
he heard him at the time and thought it was a
man struggling in the water, but as 20 traces
were found he concluded that he was mis-
taken.
The man was about thirty years of age. He
had always been a sailor. The body was
given in charge of the overseers of the Door
and was buried in the Eastern Cemetery
Coroner Gould after hearing the facts of the
case deemed an inquest unnecessary. Capt
Ayers wife has been here recently in search of
her husband

Fourth of July,

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have copied the following
article from the Fall River News of May Sth,
assured that it might interest your readers at
this time in regard to the CITY Government s
proposed celebration of the Fourth of July:
The editor of the Fall River News says:
"The brave act of Mayor Greene in prompt
ly vetoing the absurd appropriation of $500 to
be wasted on Fourth of July, has the hearty
commentator of every thoughtful and intel
ligent citizen, and it is a matter of rejoicing
that this veto was sustained. AS long as
wise fearlesSness characterizes the action of our
council we may have reason to feel SAFE But
reckless waste OF money though so grateful to
the frivolous elements that pay no taxes, or at
best poll taxes, and the smallest possible frac-
ton of them so as to vote as cheaply as posi-
BILE, is always to be condemned. Had the out
lay proposed been the reasonable sum of $500
it might have been endured without COM
plant. Let the appropriations be liberal only
for those things indispensably needed to keep
the city alive and pay the debt. Again we say
let the Mayor be thanked
Is it not unwise at this time for our city to
spend $4,350, for the fourth of July celebra-
ton? The reasons given above in regard to
Fall River are far more potent when applied
to Portland.
First, for the reason that the valuation of
Portland is not more than two-thirds of that of
Fall River, and our city debt three times as
large.
Shall we ignore the stern and rigid economy
standing the cry of the croakers that our city
credit was ruined, has brought the bonds up
to S115.
The veto of the lamented Butler should
never be forgotten, while the present heavy
debt burdens the city.
Who believes for one moment that city
of Portland bonds would be worth today S115
If our city expenditures had been in the past
of the same lavish character as the appropria-
ton of $4 $50 for Fourth of July celebration?
1t may be that our city treasury has become so
flush by the unwise sale of the Portland &
Rochester railroad, which was consummated
by the untiring efforts of some of those gentle
men who are so ready to make this Fourth OF
July appropriation, that for its security it has
become necessary to deplete it,
have to ask, if our worthy Mayor will
veto this appropriation, will the city govern
ment sustain him? l hope so. One thing sure
he will have the thanks of all the good citizens
of Portland, who sincerely and truly desire heI
prosperity. II.
Portland May IL, 1880.
