The pastor of the Methodist church in
North Augusta was quietly sitting in his par
sonage of recent evening, when there came
a loud knocking at the door. He tells the
story in his own language: Il went to the
door to learn what their wants might be, and
there found two baskets, one bushel each in
size, filed to the brim with good things from
store and farm, such as butter. cheese, milk,
pork and beans, with good supply Of groce-
ries which will make ones home smile. The
cap stone of one basket was \ small roll
which, when examined, was found to contain
forty silver % cent pieces, and that was the
contribution of one person. I was not in
clined to run for them, ~ my weight Of body
was too much to run very rapid, but saw
moving objects in the distance, quite numer-
Gus and Yankee-like. l hailed them to come
in, and they came in and spent an hour most
pleasantly, in discoursing sweet music and
pleasant social conversation, and few words
of prayer was offered, after which they re-
turned to their homes, leaving their contribu-
tions with US for our comfort and happiness.
Nav God bless them for their kind cOntribu-
ton, and may they receive in basket and store
for their kindness"

Walter Matthews, man well known on
the Kennebec, died at his residence on Cush-
noe Heights, yesterday morning. Mr.. Mat
thews was man of more than ordinary in
telligence, and in former years had seen
better days. He had. accumulated quite q
handsome property, but he became slave to
an appetite for strong drink and landed
where men usually land that follow in that
direction. About two years ago he reformed
and tried to live better life. He had many
good traits in his character,-was always in
dustrious, would work early and late, was
very obliging, and no man would go further
out of his way to do person favor than he.
He has done quite business in gardening
and was usually the first man to get green
stuff into the market. Notwithstanding he
was human and had failings, he will be
greatly missed. Let us throw the mantle OF
charity over the past. and hope that he may
be numbered with the just.

The excitement Saturday around the bulle-
tin which the Western Union had posted on the
windows of the telegraph Office, was intense,
and reminded one of the ''war tines" when
every one was on the gus rice for news from
the front. All day long groups of men would
datten their noses against the dirty windows
Of the Office, and read the ''latest" aloud to
the by-standers. In the evening a crowd
surged into the telegraph Office. and patiently
remained, perched on hat boxes and count
ers, until nearly two o'clock. when the ''good
night call of the operator was sounded from
Chicago. Democrats and greenbackers we're
equally as alert - the republicans. They
reckon on carrying the State if the conven-
ton nominates some other candidate than
Blaine; but they do not stop. to consider that,
while the republicans of Maine revere
their great leader and zealously desire his
nomination, yet they love the principles Of
the great party to which they owe allegiance
more, and will make gallant fight for the
republican standard bearer whoever he may be.

The OUTLOOK THIS MORNING.

CHICAGO, June 6. There has been no
combination to-day so far as can be learned
on any candidates. The strength of the diff
any degree by the day intermission. Both Of
the principal candidates claim 70 have made
slight gains. 1t Is expected that bailoting for
President will begin Immediately on re-as-
sembling of the convention. In political
centres an impression seems to gain support
ers that the contest will narrow down TO a
trial of strength between Grant and Blaine, as
the adoption of the unit rule places it out Of
the power Of the leaders to swing their dele.
gates in favor of some candidate whom they
might agree on. Blaine's alleged popular
strength in Penn, has to-day given rise to
much discussion Of the likelihood of Gamer
on's seeing the expediency Of casting his in
fiuence in Blaine's favor and making . nearly
solid Pennsy lvania for him.
Latest political reports tonight are that re-
suits Of the various caucuses point to long
and wearying balloting tomorrow. The for
ces of the several candidates have resolved to
stick by their first choice. One report
has it that the Grant managers promised Sher-
mans supporters ifthey will nominate Grant
Conkling, will Immediately rise in his
place and read a letter Of declination from
Grant and on next ballot Sherman would be
nominated. It is not reported the Sherman
men have accepted the overture.
1t was reported this forenoon that the
Massachusetts, delegation was breaking, bui
tonight % Of them held caucus and re-
solved never to vote for either Grant OF

27-who can beat this?" is a challenge in the
Augusta Journal. Not we,-for we don't
care for peas. But we like tomatoes, and we
had them prettily in blossom in our garden,
on the same day with the Augusta peas. Any
body can raise early peas. You have only to
plant them late enough in the fall. winter
them under board, and open them to the
first sunshine in the spring. Nothing can
prevent peas from growing. We have found
them in good thrift in July, where 1--WE boys
planted them from our shot guns in Novcm-
Der previous. Hit or miss, they took root.
Squirrels won't eat them,-as we found out
by seeing one turn up his nose after smelling
Of handful we had fired at him. Peas are
doubtless ammunition for small hunting
except for juveniles. They answer better for
duels
