Lively Letter from Mr.. Aiken.

AANOAJ AOUuOA 11OAn 1ul. 1lhCu.

he thought the South should adhere
solidly to the Democratic party, and
whether he favored the counting in

CoKEsBURY, S. c., Nov. 12, 1880.
To the Editoi:of the News:
Yours of the 10th inst. awaited me
on my return from my plantation to-
day. You PROFOUND to me two ques
tions, to both of which 1 unhesitat
ingly answer "No," loudly, qualify.
ing my reply to the first by saying
not in partisan sense. If you desire
to know my political opinions read
the letter wrote the Nea0s and
Courier almost year age. And if
you want some reading that is more
Pickwickian than Pickwick himself,
read the editorials of that clustering
sheet from that day to this and see
how easily they have jumped from
one side to the other of the political
fence. l know more about the rank
and file of the Northern Democracy
than all the editors in South Carolina,
and never had any faith in them.
They are party with name, but
without principle. We South
erners, Democratic to the core upon
principle, have pinned our faith to
that name or mere shadow, and of
course have lost by it. | have long
cOntended that the South should be-
cone more nationalized aid lay less
stress upon 'principles for which Lee
and Jackson fought" Suppose you
and believe in State rights, seces-
sion, strict construction, "blood and
thunder" and all else upon which we
attempted to found Southern Con-
federacy, what sense is there In
"kicking against the pricks ?" I
never had the faintest hope of Han
cocks election, but had 1 said so the
wiseacres of the State would have
sworn l was not real to the party.
Indeed, when in a retired, seclusive
locality in my own district 1 yentur-
ed to counsel with some OF my
friends, and predict future events, it
was heralded to the world, and byho
party with more zest than our own,
that L was a renegade, and should be
run oct of the "party." Now that
their hindsights are in front what do
some of these same wiseacres say ?
Nothing of any consequence, but
they are all ready to watch which
way the cat jumps"
l need not worry you with long
epistle. but will simply say 1 believe
the Sodth in Congress should have
nothing to do with partisan entangle-
ments, but stand aloof until the time
to vote, and then, upon all questions
of national Importance, cast solid
vote for what they believed to be
right, regardless of the fact whether
the issue was Democratic or Republi.
can in a partisan sense. In this way
we would help balance of power
that would result in our being court
ed by both parties North, and enable
US frequently to dictate terms upon
important issues. But many South
erners in Congress would follow the
Democratic party as Gov. Perry said
he would follow the State in 1861, and
"you know how this was yoursslf."
Very respectfully,
ID. WYATT AIKEN.

No more the foe can harm
No more of lSagured camp,
No cry of night alarm
NOrneed of ready lamp.
And YET how nearly he had failed,
How nearly had the foe prevailed.
The lamb is in the fold,
In perfect safety penned;
The lion once had hold
And thought to make an end.
But One came by with wounded side,
And for the sheep the Shepherd died.
The exile is at home;
Oh, nights and days of tears
Oh, l0ngings not to roam
Oh, sins and doubts and fears
What matters now? Oh joyful day,
The King has wiped them all away.
Oh happy, happy bride!
Thy widowed hours are past;
The Bridegroom at thy side,
Thou all His own at last
The. sorrows of thy former cup
In full fruition swallowed up.

Centennial of Otisf1eld.

The Boston Globe yesterday contained the
following suggestions from correspondent;
One hundred years ago Harrison Gray Otis
owned large tracts of land in Maine, and three
towns, viz: Harrison, Gray and Otisfeld were
named for him. Otisfeld now proposes to
hold meeting next August and extends an
invitation to all its descendants to join in the
celebration. All who are interested in the
meeting are invited to express their
views in writing on or before the first day of
June. If sufficient number should express
desire to hold meeting, they will be notified
as 10 the arrangements in regard to the rail-
roads, steamboats,, stages, board and lodging,
etc. One of the sons Of the town, now a resi-
dent of Massachusets,hasp prepared geneologi-
cal record of the town for 100 years, which he
will present to the town. The farm formerly
owned by Deacon Elias Hancock now belongs
to the town for the support of the poor. 1t
might be pleasure to many to contribute a
seed or shrub, which in a few years would
blossom and bear fruit, making the poor hap
py. Pictures, books and ornaments would al
so give the inmates much pleasure. From the
Otisfeld Westinghouse hill fine view can be
had twenty miles east, west, north and south,
which would be highly enjoyed by the v isitorss
if meeting is held. All letters should be ad-

sloop, soon to be launched at Yarmouth, will
also be entered in the club. A hope was ex-
pressed that the city would arrange for sail

unusually interesting one and several new
members were reported, and the present. sea-

yachts of the fleet are all being fitted out and

Mr.. John Evans of the Grand Trunk, one of
the best fellows that ever breathed, was

Twin Colts.

The centre of interest among horsemen in
this vicinity the present week is at the farm of
Col. Edward Moore at Morrills Corner, and
consists of the rarity of pair of twin colts of

trotting mare Nellie Sherman, by Sherman
Knox; sire, f. G. Floyd's Portland Pilot, by
Mambrino Pilot who was also sire of Man,
brine Gift, record 2.2O; Hannis, 2.19f

blood is quite rarity and calls many visitors
to Col, Moore's farm.

Major Clayton of Bangor, the new State
day and completed the purchase of ex-Com
missioner Bigelow's stock. The amount of the
transfer was 910,5OO.
Two lightning saw cases have been tried at
the present term of court in Androscoggin
county, and in both the verdict has been for
defendants. Judge Walton instructed the
jury that lone who purchases note with a
strong and well-founded suspicion that it was
obtained from the maker by fraud and with
out consideration, is not a bona fde purchaser"
and therefore cannot take advantage OF the
rule OF law which protects an innocent pur-
chaser OF negotiable note against the defence
that the note was fraudulently obtained. The
jury seem to have found that these lightning
saw notes were fraudulently obtained or filled
out by Hultz and that his operations were 30
notorious and the notes so peculiar as to raise
strong and well-founded suspicion OF fraud,
guard against purchasing them. In the first
case tried a motion has been made for a new
trial.

used by burglars, done up in newspaper and
tucked in crevise in the wall. These curl
GUS instruments have lain there for almost five
years and are in good state of preservation.
1t will be remembered that the old Wayne
road is the one taken by the robbers when they
left town the morning of the burglary.

Miss Dods' Lectures.

Miss Dods' lectures on Cookery continue to
draw many of our best housewives away from
CONCENTRATIONS of spring finery and the per-
picking worries of spring cleaning, but it is
certainly surprising that Fraternity Hall is
not crowded afternoon and evening, or even
that a larger hall has not already been de-
manded. There seems to be an impression
that the dishes Miss Dods prepares are new
tangled notions, highly seasoned mixtures of
unhallowed ingredients; whereas her receipts
are many of them simple, and above all sensi-
BILE, and any lady or any servant with modi-
cum of brains and a little judgment, may pre-
pare them.
The down-east women as rule are excel
lent cooks, as the results of some Of our church
fairs and tea parties prove. Yet even they can
learn new and simple methods of doing the
same thing, besides adding materially to their
repetoire. Miss Dods gives her receipts in a
clear and concise manner and her audience
takes them down in their blank books. She
then proceeds to practice what she breaches,
explaining the reason for this and the reason
for that, and many other ''grown-up reasons, -
answering questions. She keeps constantly
uuSys uoVcr-rodlly uoNer-uoeS sue goI SpOG
of grease or flour on her dark dress or dainty
white apron. She moves gracefully among her
little shining pots and kettles, and handles
them as tenderly as if she were playing a
number" When all is deity prepared and
cooked, she allows the dishes to be passed
round among the audience for them to ad-
mire, and, alas! smell of. Indeed Miss ,Dods'
cookery is an art and very essential one;
every dish is made to look artistic as well as
appetizing; and, as slight suggestion of the
things that might be, would it not be we'll that
our young ladies instead of decorating the out
side of the cup and the platter to the fearful
extent now in order, should turn their atten-
tionlto filling the inside with savory mixtures,
and decorating the top. Fathers. mothers and
possibly husbands, may like ceramics, but of a
surety they must have good things to eat, that
they may be kept in a state of amiability and,
well-yes- subsection.
