MR.. CHAsE's SPEECH.

Mr. Chase made severe arraignment of
the Republican party for its failure to enforce
prohibition He alleged that there were 80
open rum shops in Augusta, and that in Bath,
Gardiner and Bangor the traffic was COM
paratively unrestricted. Republicans were
responsible for this, and for one he proposed
to hold them to that responsibility He had
not decided whether to purify the party by
stepping outside its ranks or to continue the
fight inside the party lines. He charged
general remissness upon the Governor and
Council, and was especially severe upon tn e
sheriff OF skennebec county, whom he charged
with grossly improper conduct at the Augusta
convention.
Mr.: Chase thought the conduct of Garcelon
and his Council in perpetrating the ''count
OUT Infamous, but the conduct of Gov. Davis
and his Council in refusing to enforce the
Prohibitory law was even more reprehensble
Major Fl. W. Shorey of Bridgton was the
asst speaker.
MAC. SHOREY'S SPEECH.
Major Shorey deprecated the introduction o.
political questions at meeting called as a
Good Templar mass meeting presumably
for the discussion of topics relating to the
mission of the order. ''to rescue the fallen anG
save others from falling" Nevertheless the

Gen. Dow, he would not shrink from its dis

Maine has the proudest record upon the

time shall ever come when the Republican

He referred to the record of the Republican
party, and took issue with Gen. Dow in his as
sertion that the Republican party was the
rum party of the State. Referring to the legisla
ton of last winter he said that the Legislature
had striven to ascertain the wishes of thu
temperance people of the State, and had givel
them just the legislation they required, an,

a Touching Incident.

A young man, having a manned
arm, visited the Almshouse, Philadel-
phia, on Tuesday told Col. H. S.
Thomas, the house agent, that he was
in search of his mother from whom he
had been separated when only five
years of age and who he thought was
in the institution. His history was to
the effect that he was born in New
bern, N. c.; that when five years of
age his father was killed while fight
ing ON the Southern side, and that he
became separated from his mother,
whom he ascertained had come north.
The young man got into the Union
lines, where he was taken charge of
by New Jersey soldier, who cared
for him, and brought him to his
Northern home, where he has ever
since remained. The records of the
Almshouse were obtained, and Col.
Thomas found that eleven years ago
the young mans mother had been dis
charged from the medical ward to the
out wards and from there to the insane
department. On being taken into
her presence the young man failed to
recognize her, but the parent re-
marked, do you know you look like
my husband did ?" The young man
stated that as soon as he can provide
a home for his mother he would return
and take her where nothing but death
shall again part tnem.

CURIOUS CHANGES IN NEW
YORK.

The effect of progress, and especially
the changes 1t creates In varied inter.
ests, Is constantly seen, the principle
agent at present. being the "L" road,
Look at the increase In the assessment
roll, which is reported at nearly $50, 900,
900. This fs chiefly due to the building
up of what was once waste tract above
the Central Park, which this road brings
within fifteen minutes OF Wallstreet. On
the other hand, the company which ran
q line of steamboats, from Harlem to the
lower part of the city has been crushed
out Of existence by the elevated track
The latter Is admitted to be the most
striking feature in local Improvement
New York has witnessed in thirty years.
In the same manner the use of posta
cards is interfering with the revenue
from letters, and the telephone has abol
ished the city messenger system. III
architecture the use of elevators not only
removes the objection to height, bni
renders 1t advantageous, since 1t affords
better ventilation. The time is coming
when tenements will be fitted m with
this convenience, which will be OF great
advantages to the poorer classes. An
other feature ID the increase of space by
the 'water-hght cellar method, by means
of which 2 800 Easements which had
been almost useless are rendered avail
able, adding value of SIC, 900 900 to the
city. These things indicate the inces-
SAINT change to which New York is sub
ject, and which was never more active
than at the present time.

LAMBsKIN GROWING ToA CHILD

CHICAGO, August 25.-The interest
ing surgical experiment Of transplsnting
a piece of the skin of q lamb TO the
thigh of little girl, named Agnes Shee-
han, who was severely burned in prai-
rie fire, was made the other day at the
county hospital. The burn refused to
heal, and the little girl has lain at the
point of death for seventeen months.
Almost every expediment known TO sur
gical science has been resOrted to TO save
her life. A piece of skin from her little
brother was at first grated on the sore,
but 1t did not grow. In this instance q
healthy lamb, four months old, was OBJ
tanned and sufficient cuticle razed from
its side 10 cover the wound on the girls
thigh, which 10 twelve inches long and
four inches wide. The skin was care
fully sewed on and left attached at one
edge to the lamb. Both lamb and child
are securely fastened in frame or box,
so that they cannot move. They are
carefully fed and watched. In ten days
it is expected, II the operation is sue
cess, the lambs skin will have grown
fast to the little girl.

HOiU TO AvOtd Harmful Reading.

By REV. j. NJ. WILLIAMS, PRESIDENT
OF WESLEYAN COLLEGE, BEFORE THE
TEACHERS OF DELAWARE.
The child's mind, he said, was a
clean, unwritten tablet, tdbuld rose,
as Locke calls it, and character, words
and ideas are to be written upon it,
whether directly by the instruction OF
the teacher and the study Of the pupil,
or more indirectly by the guidance OF
the teacher in the all-important duty of
selecting proper reading for the pupil.
That tablet must, aud will be, covered
by some sort of characters and ideas.
Between the ages of eight and twenty is
the plastic, impressible and teachable
period of our school-going youth, when
habits of reading are formed. That
reading will be done is as certain as that
the mind is active. God has implanted
in the human mind native activities asd
aspirations that carry 1t beyond the
bread and butter level, and just as the
human heart, unguided by the touch OF
revelation, will grope in The dark after
some divinity TO worship, so the mind
OF youth, undirected by wise and good
head, will bow down and pay homage
to the widest conceptions and the most
weird and NATURALLY wrought out ficti.
tious lives that ever wrapped about them
yellow covering. The mental mill
will grind; the quality of the flour will
depend upon the quality of the wheat
poured in at the hopper. But who
shall stand guardian to select the graini
The teacher, and, therefore, the duty
of directing the young minds becomes q
positive one. A large responsibility
also rests with parents, but We are moi
discussing that question now. 1t is ouI
duty to recommend both TO parents and
children such literature as will promise
to take the place of harmful reading. A
few years ago practical difficulty
exis ed in the difference Of cost between
the dime novel and other books. That
difficulty Is now removed. The Har-
pers and other well-known publishers
are furnishing in cheap but convenient
form the most solid as we'll as recrea-
tive works at astonshingly low rates
For example, Farrar's "Llfe of Christ, u
in two volumes, can be purchased at 25
cents a volume; John Stuart Mill's
"Chapters OH Socialism" can be bought
for three cents; Macaulay's "Life OF
Frederick the Great" three cents;
Lamartine's "Mary, Queen of Scotts,"
three cents; Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Pro-
gress," three cts; Goldsmith's "Vicar OF
Wakefield" f1ve cents, and so on, thus
removing the objection of the difference
Of cost between the trashy, deleterious
and sensational literature and the solid
profitable, and instructive. OF periodical
and Sunday school literature the same
Is true.

From the N. Y. Star.
Our Commercial Relations
with FE9nCe.


Since France divested herself of her
Imperial garments the attention Of her
capitalists and manufacturers has been
often called to the necessity for the
formation of new and liberal treaty
of commerce between France and the
United States, for the purpose Of pro-
noting the commercial relations of
both Republics.
At a meeting held the other day in
the Bourse at Roubaix for the promo
tion of Franco-American treaty of
commerce, it was decided to request
the French Government to come to an
understanding with the United States
In regard to mutual appointment Of
commissioners for discussing the con-
ditions OF a treaty. A treaty of COM
merce based upon reciprocity and upon
the regime of exchange with fixity of
taxeswould open tothe products ofboth
countries an outlet which now does
not exist.
The expectations of last year from
the United States to France amounted
in round numbers to 500, 900, 900, con-
sistently mostly of cotton, tall0w, pc
troleum, tobacco, salted meats and ce-
reals. Among manufactured articles,
machines and mechanical appliances
have alone been exported by us to
France in any quantity worth noting.
1t ID from this country. exclusively,
that the French receive their i'm
proved agricultural machines and inn
pements, the use of which is rapidly
extending in France.
Our importations from France last
year amounted to something like $45,
000, 600, consisting entirely Of manu-
factured articles, such as silk tissues,
woolen fabrics, millinery, etc. -
Our trade with France shows on one
side an expectation Of primary ma
terials and Of objects which are indis-
pensable food on the other, an i'm
portation of manufactured articles
which, in spite of the heavy tariff i'm
posed on them, attain to the value Of
$45, ,000, 900.
Extensive as our trade with France
is, it could still be largely increased il
the commercial barriers which sepa-
rate the two peoples should be stimuli
taneously demolished. Our expOrta-
tions would then increase in the direct
ratio Of our imp0rtations. France ia
not able to sell without purchasing,
and the more we shall take of wooleps,
Of silks and other French manufac-
lures, the more France shall require
from us of cotton, cereals, petroleum,
etc. By liberal tariffs the trade be
tween the two countries could be easi.
ly doubled or trebled to the advantage
| Of both.

The World as I Find It..

They say the worlds q weary place,
Where tears are never dried,
Where pleasures pass ike breath on gIasi
And only woes abide.
1t may be SOL cannot know
Yet this dare TO say,
My lot has been more glad than sad,
And so II has to-day.
They say that loves a cruel jest;
They tell of women's wiles-
That poison dips in pouting lips,
And death in dimple smiles,
II may be SOL cannot KNOW
Yet sure of this am,
One heart is found above the ground
Whose love Is not sham.
They say that life's bitter CURSE
That hearts are made to ache,
That Jest and song are gravely wrong,
And health a vast mistake.
1t may be SOL cannot know
But let them talk their fill:
like my lie, and love my wife,
And mean to do 80 still.

ILLINOIS STILL IN THE LEAD

Illinois still leads all the other
States in the number of miles of its
railroads. This position Illinois has
occupied since 1870, at which time it
passed Pennsylvania, which previously
had been the leading railroad State. -
The railway mileage of the former
State is now 2, 57S; Pennsylvania comes
second, with 6,06S miles; New York
follows close behind with 6,009 miles;
Ohio is fourth, having 5,521 miles;
Iowa is fifth, with A, ITO miles, and In
diana sixth, with 4.386 miles; Missou-
ri, Michigan, Kansas, Minnesota, Wis.
consion, Texas, Georgia and California
follow in the order named. There is
no State or Territory which is totally
devoid of railroads, though Montana
Territory can boast of but ten miles of
completed road. Now Mexico, which
stands next lowest, and which two
years ago had not mile, now has 11S
miles and is adding to it every week.
