Greenback Congressional Candidates

NIeoHpdck COu8feSSlOnal CanOlUaIeS.
The Greenbackers of this district are blessed
with an abundance of candidates for the
Congressional nomination. In fact there
seems to be an over-production of the article
in that unhappy party this year, the organiza
tion running to candidates as some plants
do to seed. Of the York county Greenback.
ers it is said that William Emery, Esq, o1
Alfred, is seeking the nomination. Mr.. EN-
cry is, however, not the man to make much oi
fight for an empty honor, and Hon. E. H
Cove may have some friends in the conven-
tion when it meets Mr.. Cove is probably no,
an xious to be beaten again. The Rev. Ell. A
Wales would like, it is said, to run if Mr.
Cove should make up his mind to keep out of
the covention. In this county Moses G. Dow
of Deering would be a fair candidate, as good
as any man to be beaten, and IF he shouldn't
want it, there is the Rev. W. f. Eaton of
Knightvlle who is said to be hankering after
the nomination.
Elliot King of this city is also supposed to
be in the field. He would put some work into
the campaign, and when defeated would take
it with better grace than either of the others
named unless Moses G.. Dow and Mr. Cove be
excepted. The best man for the nomination
remains to be named. The original Green
hacker, Mr.. John NJ. Todd, if nominated
would make as good fight as he could, Mr.
Todd could run a literary bureau, task to
which the other gentlemen mentioned are un-
equal. Ii Col. R. M. Springer, editor of the
New Era-Leader and Sunday New Era and
President of the Maine State Circle, b. P. L.,
is not nominated for President by the National
convention he too may possibly enter the list.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA
ROYAL MILDLY

A company under the auspices of Mr.. Au-
gustin Daley, presented Genee's opera OF
Der See Kadet, or The Royal MILDLY, at Port
land Theatre last night to good audience
The opera was very prettily put upon the
stage, and beautifully costumed. The mid
shipmen in their dances and choruses not only
presented very pretty stage pictures, but they
sang with spirit. Their dance at the close of
the first act, and those at the opening of the
second act were gracefully executed.
Miss Harold possesses strong, although rath-
er sharp voice, and made fair Fanchette. Miss
Fielding is an excellent singer. Mr.. Brand
was, of course, capital Don Januario, and
Mr. Hart was very amusing as Mungo, pre-
senting the character in different manner
from Mr. Van Houteli, WHO was so well liked
here i'll the role. Mr.. LeClercq made great
deal more of Don Domingos than his prede-
cessor. Mr.. Hatch tenor is sweet although
some What throaty, and not specially cuiti-
waited.
The great lack of the opera was a compe-
tent orchestra to give the proper coloring MIR.
Mollenhauer, the conductor the pianist, and
Mr.. Burnham had the laboring oars. If the
theatre orchestra had been able to undergo the
necessary rehearsals then all would have been
right 1t was too much to expect of them at
such short notice. The matinee today will
begin at $50.

The trustees of the State Fair did not decide
until yesterday afternoon as to the location of
the fair This was because the president of a
bank IN Lewiston, Mr.. Robbins, was sent up to
see what could be done towards securing the
location. A dispatch was finally sent to that
city asking the Lewiston people--who offered
TO spend $4,000 in fixing up their trotting
park, and charge 81 200 for the US of it-if
they would accept the fair for one year instead
OF three. They answered Eyes" and the fair
will be held in Lewiston Sept. Dist, 22d, 23d
and 24th. The owners of Presumpscot Park
with all its advantages offered it to the trustees
for 500, and it is known fact that the only
year the fair has been held in Lewiston was
an exceptionally favorable one.

Scripture Practically Applied.

Many years ago when the moving on
The farm was done with a scythe,
Farmer a. with his hired man were
moving together in the field. The hired
man was ahead W hen lie discovered that
he was in close proximity to large
nest of hornets. He advanced as far as
he thought was prudent and jumped
from his swath and ran away. Farmer
A. imagining that the hired man wa,
frightened at nothing, stepped into
his swath with this scriptural quotation
The wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth, but the righteous are bold as a
lion," and moved ahead. Two or three
strokes brought him in contact with the
nest, and the hornets swarmed out at q
lively rate, giving him a sharp recep.
ton. The farmer ran when it was the
hired mans to quote scripture, which
he did by the following: {" The wise
man forseeth the evil and turneth aside
but the fool passeth on and is punished.

Work and Feed.

An instance of an inventive genius in
an illiterate farmers boy is too good to
be forgotten. A small farmer hired a
youth to assist him in the work of his
farm as an indoor servant. The fir. t
piece of work he was set to do was to
thresh out some corn. As the farmer
was passing the barn in which the youth
" AS at work, be heard the fail lazily
keeping time to tune the lad was sing
ing. Stopping to listen. he ascertained
that the words were, "Bread and cheese
taxi thy ease." Going into the house the
farmer said to his wife: "This is queer
sort of lad we have gotten; he seems TO
think that the speed at which he ought
to work should be measured by the kind
of food he gets" And then relating
what he had heard, he suggested Sup
pose we give him something different to
dinner tomorrow, and see how that
actsP" This being agreed to, he had
apple pie added to his bread and cheese.
This brought down his fail somewhat
more rapidly. for it was going TO the
speed wherewith the lad sang, "Apple
pie accordingly. "Bob's doing bit
better to-day, lass" said the farmer TO
his wife; "let US mend his dinner az ain
tomorrow, and see what that will bring
forth " So when the next dinner time
came around he had good plate OF beef
and pudding set before him, which went
down right grandly, and brought the
fail into splendid action to the words,
Beef and puddin', I'll gle thee drub-
bin'," and to jolly good tune. 81 see
plainly" said the farmer, ''if we wish
to get good work out of Bob we must
feed him WELL" So Bob lad his bill OF
fare improved without having recourse
to a strike. e.-ChamberS' Journal.

Words of wisdom.

It is easier for q man to descend to
earth than to mount TO heaven.
However laborous the life of the
good, it is-less so than that of the bad.
True virtue is like precious odors-
sweeter the more incensed and crushed.
True philosophy places us above hon.
ors, but nothing places us above the
ennui they cause.
The mind has more room in it than
most people imagine, If you would fur
nish the apartments.
The evils of the world will continue
until philosophers become kings, or
kings become philosophers.
No man is born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require q tutor; though we
can easily learn to be vicious without q
master.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter; when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafess.
There are truths which some men de-
spise because they have not examined
and (which they will not examine be-
cause they despise.
Childhood often holds truth with its
feeble fingers, which the grasp OF man
hood cannot retain, which it is the pride
of utmost age TO recover.
Natural objects themselves, even when
they make no claim to beauty, excite
the feelings and occupy the imagination.
Nature pleases, attracts, delights, merely
because it is nature.

Human Hair from China.

When some one first made them fash
ionable by discovering that in the Curl
Gus patterns of India rugs there were
beautiful combinations OF color, their
importation to this country and England
at once exhausted the native supply, and
enterprising foreigners stepped in to
stimulate their manufacture, especially
for the foreign trade. Among the
houses in this city which imported them
largely is that of Messrs. Archer & Bull.
The head of this house resides in India,
and superintends there Il factory in
which 600 native weavers are employed
upon rugs for the United States. Incl
dentaIly this same firm brings to New
York great many curious products of
Asiatic industry, and recently received
ten cases OF Chinese human hair. 1t is
very dark in color and very coarse, and
is packed in small switches ready to
be made up by American artists in hair.
Its coarseness, however, units it for the
fashionable market. 1t is sold in bulk
to the retail trade, and made up into
switches, frizzes, puffs and other adorn-
ments for the negro market. The ten
cases weigh altogether 1880 pounds, and
represent, no doubt, as many as ], 200 or
l,500 Mongolians. The hair when it
reaches here is worth from fifty cents to
sixty-iye cents pound, but of course
appreciates largely in value before il
leaves the shop of the retail dealer, who,
without sentiment, here 10000 miles dis
tant, combs the tangled tresseS of the
head in China, and sells it to adorn the
head of the belle from Africa -New

The SutrO Tunnel,

1t must be fun to be miner in the
Sutro tunnel, in Colorado. The rats and
the bats have it all their own way. The
miner who brings his lunch basket IS
not at all sure that he will eat its con-
tents. If he leave it for few minutes
the rats eat lunch and basket and ALL
Nor is his chance for dinner much bet
ter if, instead of the basket, he take the
ordinary tin kettle. A party of rats
will steal kettle before its owners eyes
and roll it away down into hole where
no man can follow them. Then they
rip off the lid and deyour the contents
at their leisure. There are millions of
those rats. and many of them are larger
than kittens, and much more muscular
and rapacious.
The bats bother both the miners and
the mules. When one big bat flies
against miners face, and another bat,
equally big, flies in the face of that
miners mule, there is complication of
troubles. The man cannot see which
way the mule is going TO kick, and the
mule, who cannot see either out goes it
blind, kicks at random, ard is apt to hit
the man where the bat hit him. The
bats are as large, as numerous and rs
powerful as the rats. For a man to
have his dinner stolen by rats, then to be
hit by bat and kicked by mule, is a
combination of infelicities calculated to
make him wish himself at work in al
most any other field of labor.
