Breaks.

Some time during Monday night some per-
sons, evidently boys, broke pane of glass in
the front door of Berrys store on Moulton
street, and passed through the opening into the
store. They tried to get into the money
drawer. leaving the blood marks from their
cut hands on the desk, but failed in their at
TEMPT. They may have taken some proauce
Last Monday evening Mr.. Davis, of the firm
of Curtis & Davis, was notified that his store
had the appearance of having been entered.
Investigation revealed the fact that some per
son or persons had evidently secreted them
selves during the day in the building and at
night endeavored to open the safe and the
money drawer, but failed. They then pulled
the bars off the front window shutter, opened
the window and escaped.

Practical Education" Again.

If it is practical Knowledge" that is acquir-
ed in our public schools, why is it that young
lady graduate of our High school, last spring,
before whom the matter was being discussed
could not answer my question as to the interest
on 800 for three months at per cent. per an
mum, and didn't think there was one of the
class who could? Why is it that another,
ranking above the average, didn't know that
in casting tho interest on note, the three days
grace should ba inclnled? Way is it that
four years course in French is required, and
boy who wishes something practical" (say
chemistry, for iustance), and has a taste for it,
is only given six months in that study?
How far, Mr.. Editor, would six months
course in chemistry go towards fitting the av-
erage boy to be an apothecary's cler'? Why
is it that the average rank of a pupil who is
two in mathematics and nine i'll department,
and one who is nine in mathematics and two
i'll department is the same, other things being
equal? Why is it that one who can do nice
piece of work at drawing Or writing but who
is slow, is outranked by one doing a much
poorer job because he can finish it in the few
minutes given? Why is it that pupil with
older persons to assist and in many cases per-
form his problems for him, should outrank one
who has no help and misses? Why is 1T that
am told if don't like the system / can send
my children to a private school? when my tax
is at the rate of 255, and the assessors value
my property more than it will sell for.

NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.
The Proposed Extension from Farming
ton to the Kennebec.
[Kennebec journal. ]


1t is now seriously proposed to extend the
Sandy River railroad from Phillips to Farm
ington, to Augusta, Hallowell or Gardiner
The distance from Pennington to Augusta is
about 81 miles and the road would bring the
traffic of the fertile Sandy river valley Ches-
terville, Vienna, Mt. Vernon and Belgrade, to
our city. All the Rangeiey Lake summer
travel would pass through here This would
give an impetus to business The Sandy
River railroad is the narrowest of narrow
gauge-two feet. Its present length is IS
miles, and the cost of its construction was
about 100000, or a little over $500 mile;
the additional cost of extending the road bed
to Augusta, purchasing rolling stock, etc.,
would be in the vicinity of 100000. Capital
lists in Pennington, Gardiner and other places
stand ready to take stock in the new enterprise.
The scheme looks feasible Our business men
are shrewd and long eaded, and we are sure
will no. let an opportunity to make money glide
through their fingers. Building railroads is
business, however, and nothing will be under
taken which does not promise satisfactory
return. In day or two we shall publish
more in relation to the contemplated road,
and in the meanwhile interview our monied
men on the subject.

Seeptics and Believers.

Scept!cs have sought in every age to
undermine tue faith Of the Christian
church, Like Industrious .sappers and
miners they have burrowcd .their-way
to her foundations and laid trains OF
philosophical objections, historical
criticism aud mythical theories close to
her walls. Having exploded their
blasts with much noise, they!have look.
ed through the smoke expecting to see
the object Of their hatred topping to
the ground. Very much to their sur"
prise. however, the fair fabric stshds
ike q beautiful temple indestrucuble by
human deYlccs. Why is this LargeS
IL because most Of the objections to the
Christian system rest more on the
hatred Of It's critics than on solid
founda ton Of truth; but chiefly because
Christian faith carries its own vertical
ton within itself. Said Jesus, IF any
man will do His will he shall know OF
the doctrine whether it be of God or
whether I speak Of myself" So long,
therefore, as the divine origin Of CHRIS
tan truth is self-demonstrated in the
experience Of all who obey its pre-
cepts, sccptical criticism, though !hurt-
ful to many, cannot overthrow Chris
t'auity. The delightful consciousness
Of the individual believer, that his be-
lief in lis truth yields him peace that
passeth understanding, joy that is un'
speakable, inward purity ald outward
whitencss Of life otherwise unattaina>
Bile. is shield which the sharpest shaft
forged BY sceptical hands can never
penetrate. An unbelleying logic can
never prevail against believers ex-
pey.ence.
