My son, enjoy yourself. Have
a good time pleasure is cminently
right and proper, bu. good time
isn't secured ty a headache that
lasts all the next day. The simplest
pleasures are the most lasting.-
After you have spent two years in
Europe, you will come back and
sit down by yonr own fireside and
think OF 4 picnic you went to
down at the Cascade one afternoon
in June, that cost you just sixty
five cents. The "good times" that
you daren't take your wife to my
son, that you would lie about
rather than to have yonr sister
know aboet them, the goodness of
them never comes back 10 refresh
yon and gladden. your heart, as
does the memory of that sixty-fvc
cent picnic, when you chartered
nonsense with the girl you loved,
and laughed just as the leaves
rustlcd, because You couldn't help
it. The "good times" that wakes
in the morning and wonders where
it was and who saw it and where
all its money is gone ; the good
times that TALES itself with a head
ache, there's precious little fun in
in that. And it only takes a lit
tie bitterness of that kind to poison
and cloud thc memories of the past.
1t doesn't take many such "good
times" my boy, to mi1gle tears
with yonr broa6 and gall with your
drink. The sting is the smallest

Capt. Chese's Interview.
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw

With good opinion of the law
There is a saying repeated in many tongues,
that men are prone to see their own motives
reflected in the actions of others. One of these
fully translated will serve better, perhaps, to
express the meaning. tits, Men are looking
glasses in yhich other men see themselves re-
fected." This is particularly striking in the
interview which the Herald reporter publishes
as having been held by him with Capt. Chase
of this city.
The coarse manner in which Chase alludes
to such men as Chief Justice Appleton, Judges
Synonds, Peters and others, as having render
ed their decisions against the robbery which he
and his co-conspirators perpetrated, out of re-
venge, because the fusion party voted to re-
duce their salary, is Characteristic Of this ten
dency to see in others those motives which I'M
der like circumstances would actuate such q
man as himself. There can be no doubt that
men like Chase, Blood, Fogg, Pillsbury and
others of their ilk would if placed in judicial
positions do Just what is here imagined
men of high Christian character do, would
namely, decide cases before them, not upon
their merits, but as revenge Self-interest
prompted. This could not be otherwise. The
difference between bad men and good men is
radical. 1t lies at the root. "Do men gather
grapes of thorns or figs from thistles." In
soothsnot. Bad men must do bad acts; must
misiudge the acts of good men and abuse them
if they do acts which are injurious to their in
terests. The case is different with men of high
character. Such men leave their own interests
out of sight and judge mems acts by the light
of principle.
The great danger to be apprehended to our
institutions is in allowing such men as Chase,
Blood, Fogg and Pillsbury to come to the front
and occupy positions of trust. If we allow
them to we must not expect to escape harm.

The licenses for quail catching in Italy were
raised to EGO sterling in 1879 and every catcher
is obliged to have different license for each
property he wishes to catch on.
CARL F. BRAUN.
Messina, Italy, Oct. 30, 1879.
This information was published in the
"Forest and Stream" of Dec. 18th ult. Also
''that on account of the probable passage of
law entirely prohibiting the catching of quails
anywhere in the kingdom of Italy, next spring
may be the last opportunity to import these
quails.'
1t will be seen from this, that the cost of
the quails must greatly exceed that Of last
year, and that hereafter it may be impossible
to obtain them at any price. Advice just re-
ceived informs me that the price of the quails
this year will be $35 per cage of 100 birds each,
delivered in New York or Boston, They will
be sent to Boston if a steamer sails for that
port at the right time.
AdviceS from many cities and towns in this
state indicate the probability of several thou
sand quails to be purchased for Maine A
letter from Bangor says ''think we shall get
subscriptions to pay for 800 or 500 birds"
From Auburn $3.50 are subscribed, and can
get much more if there is time" From Bath,
subscriptions are made in Bath Brunswick,
Wiscasset, Rockland and Bowdoinham."
All subscriptions should be collected imme-
diately and forwarded to me as early as Feb.
10th if possible, and certainly before Feb.

Mr.. and Mrs. Allen have hosts of friends,

at their residence and bringing their elegant
presents, which were numerous and very cost
ly, aggregating a number of hundred dollars.
The evening was spent in a very social mal.-
ner, with choice selections of music,
solos, duets, quartets, ETC., rendered in fine
style and satisfaction to the company; also Sc
lections of readings by Miss Lawton and Miss
Mason, readers of fine talents and acknowledge
ed accomplishments; presentation of presents,
social chat and most splendid supper, to
which everyone present gave his undivided at
tention. When the clock was well nigh the
hour of IL the party took leave of their host
and hostess with their best wishes for their fu-
