Iabuiaior Parker OF Aroostook says that the
statement Of John Benson, Jr., before the
Hale committee that he told Benson tina t
there was an error in the return from Dix
mont Is a falsehood Parker charges Benson
WITH being bought. 1t will be recollected that
Benson was Deputy Secretary of State under
Joseph L. Smith. While he was helping along
the conspiracy Parker didn't discover how
mean he was, or, il he did, reirained from saw
ing anything about it.

At Davis's on Elm street, may DO seen a
painting by C. L. Kimball which cannot fail
to Immediately command attention. The sub
ieet is a cluster Of pines represented on dry
day in spring before the warmth has fairly
permeated the rays of the sun, and when the
cold, gray clouds sweep over the sky. 1t is
just such a cluster as can be seen almost any
where ia the Maine woods with bit of I'M
derbiush and clearing in the foreground. The
picture is full Of suggestion. Hung in the
room OF sojourner in a foreign country it
wonld seem like carrying bit.of home with
him Sitting down before it the spectator is
quickly absorbed in its contemplation, and
taken fairly out of himself. There is noble
ness, a grandeur, a breadth in the drawing of
those pines we have not before seen inKimball's
pictures, pc ssibly because he has never exhib-
lied 50 large a canvas as this. which is 56 by 40
Ia size. There might be a criticism to the eff
f3ct that the painting lacks warmth, but there
is warmth enough for the time of the year de-
pic,ed, and the sunbeam that darts from be-
hind the cloud sufficiently brightens up the old
stump and log, with the patch of clearing
which forms one of the most artistic and care
fully painted bits that has been seen in Port
land Tor many day. We are glad to know
the picture has quickly found purchaser
The gallery Of Mr.. Davis contains others of
Mr. Kimballs paintings that win bear com
psi ison with this masterpiece

Mrs. Holland and the Temperance Or.
CARNATIONS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your objection to the act of
Mrs Holland is: 'that inducing person to
violate the law is dishonorable and an affrcont
to mems sense of justice and fair play"
| When the Hon. MIR. Blank and the Hon. Mr..
Black step up TO a bar-if there be such thing
in Maine-and each call for brandy smasher
and drink lido they not induce the rumseller
to violate the law, and is not their act dis
honorable and an affront to mems sense of
justice and fair play?" Where is the differ
ence between the act of these gentlemen and
that of Mrs. Holland, except that she intends
to vindcate the law and to protect her son
from the horrors of the rum trade, and the
others intend to encourage the continued vio-
latlon of law and to support the guilty party in
doing So
Here is a mother-there are many such
whose son is going 30 the bad rapidly on liquor
sold to him by a druggist in violation of law.
She eXhortS her son with tears to turn from his
evil way-all i'll vain, the devil of drink has
him fast. She exhorts the rumseler not to
sell HIM liquor yain for the devil of greed
has him fast. But in her despair she says:
II !oM stop him; my son will not testify; L
VIII buy liquor there, and force the hard
hearted rumseller to stop that trade" She
does this VIII you kindly tell us where ''the
dsaonorable" comes in, and what sort of men
they are whose "sense Of justice and fair play
IS alfronted." Mrs Holland asked the apothe-
cary, "Will you sell me gill of brandy?"
And 40 he did sell it; the price was 10 cents,
Sl2.oo gallon That's the temptation.
n. ID.
The above picture which Gen. Dow draws
is certainly moving one, and we should be
slow to censure almost any step which a moth
er might take under such circumstances; but
that picture seems purely imaginary so far as
the purposes OF this discussion are concerned.
Mrs. Holland certainly gave no such reason
for her condact, but assigned an entirely diff
erent motive and purpose. 1t may be true
that the druggist ought not to have sold this
woman gill of brandy along with her herbs;
but his wrong-doing does not justify her in
what we must still characterize as a discredit-
able trick Ed

and sent Mark Harden messenger of the late

nearly 8 ocock in the evening, with this POM
pous document:
AUGUSTA, Me-, March 20, 1880.
10 Hon. Sumner j. Chddbour1ae:
Dear Sir-Having observed the tenor of the
report made by the so-called Hale Investigat
ing Committee, and that said report charges
that the returns of the last State election have
been altered and changed, and the undersigned
are charged, with others, as being responsible
Tor said alterations and changes, we therefore
ask and demand that we may Immediately be
allowed to inspect said returns in order that
we may refute the charges made by said COM
m1ttee, said charges being false in every par
tioular.

Mr.. Chadbourne was out of town and $, Mr..
Harden called on Deputy Secretary Joseph o.
Smith, presented the document and demanded
reply in writing. Mr.. Smith didn't bulldoze
worth a cent, however. and peremptorily in
formed Harden that he should make no reply
in writing, and that the men who sent him
could not be allowed to inspect the returns i'm
mediately. Harden then went off and the tab
ulators seem 70 have gone off also by the next
train, as the Cap'n was in the city yesterday.
