of bread that had been baked eight days
before. AS she carried it she was con-
siderably alarmed, as most young wom-
en- would be. to see first one mouse and
then another leap from the loaf. On
cutting it open, a coy nest was found
in the center, and in the nest were four
teen little mice.

Gu.EAp.-The Boston Advertiser says
that the discovery Of clear white mica at
Gilead and the success with which Il is
being quarried, add another interest to the
mineral wealth of this State. For sixty
I've years, the major part OF the mica used
has been secured from one p''ne In New
Hampshire and one other In nth Csroli-
mn, so that prices have ranged from eighty
cents pound for the smallest stove sizes
upward. The new mica quarry now
brought to light Is on Peaked Hill on the
Androscoggin river, three miles north OF
the West Bethel station on the Grand
Trunk road. The property has been visit
ed by some Of the best biologists In the
country, who have been employed by a
number OF the leading business men OF
Portland, and the vein Is reported to be
from Ave TO eight feet thick for three hun
drcd feet, with surface indications that It
continued equally rich about oDe-half mile
further. The mica Is a clear dead white,
free from necks and cracks, and Is taken
out In sheets as thin as writing paper up
to fifteen and twenty inches square. The
property has been worked for two months,
and the best of mercantile mica, In sizes
SKI l-2 feet secured. A company to be
known as the Maine Mica Mining Company
Is being organized by Portland people.

-Seuator-elect Malone Of Virginia has

that that State, with its vast resources,

since under that policy she has degener-
ated politically and grown poorer mate

already seen enough OF the reactionary
policy Of the Democratic party to disgust
all progressive men. He further declares
that Virginia and, In fact, the whole South,
has been toiling long enough for the bene-
Ut OF few Northern Democrats, and that
IL Is now proposed by himself and his
friends TO take bold progressive step TO
unite the fortunes OF Virginia with the
prosperous element IN the North. Gen.

with the Democratic party.

AGAINST TILpES.-There is strong
organized movement in the Democratic
party against the denomination Of Samuel
j. Tilden as candidate for President. We
are constantly receiving marked copies of
Democratic papers filled with reasons
WHY he should not be the nominee. A
whole broadside of daily, last week.
contained interviews with Congressman,
concerning the matter. Nearly all were
opposed TO his nomination. The case
seems to be bad one. Tilden says if
he is not nominated New York shall not
be carried by the Democrats. Tammany
makes the same threat if he is nominated.
1t is pretty safe now to set New York
down in the Republican column.

Republican candidate for President:
or Julius ii. Seelye, who is one of the
Massachusetts delegates 10 the National
Convention, a good many pleasant things

TEMPERANCE IN THE SABBATH
SCHOOL.

The introducing Of temperance as sub
Ijeet for study into the Sabbath Schools
was projected some three years ago BY the
local w. C. T. L., and has now become
State and National, and Is being received
with more favor than formerly. There has
been great objection with many, from
there being no day except the Review Sun
day on which temperance exercises could
be used, and many hardly considered II
wise to dispense with the Review. Now
that trouble Is obviated.
At the last session OF the international
Committee, which met at Atlanta, Ga, ar.
ter repeated solicitations, consented TO
leave the thirteenth Sunday OF each quar-
ter open for temperance, II the school so
desire. The Maine w. c. T. U. now are
anxious to have the Sabbath Schools
throughout the State adopt the systematic
plan which has proved successful In other
places where 1t has been tried.
The plan Is very simple 1t asks for no
organization and Is attended with no extra
expense unless the school wish different
exercises than are preparet.by the publish
ers Of s. s. Lessons. All do not furnish
these lessons, but many do, and In some
schools they substitute original exercises,
which We think very favorable. What Is
asked OF the Superintendent is, that lady
be appointed AS Temperance Secretary ;
that each class shall have class pledge
paper, and have 1t presented each quarter
" Sunday; that the exercises be temper
ance; and that a report be made at each
quarter to the chairman Of the State Com
mittee; as will be seen II Is very simple,
yet II adopted will be found to prove sue
cessful from being systematic.
The Committee labor under difficulty
FROM not being able to ascertain the Sup
erintendents' addresses, aud should any
one upon seeing this article be willing to
adopt the plan. the writer will be happy to
furnish the printed plan with blanks for
reporting and pledges for the classes free
Of expense upon application.
