APPLEToNs' "BLIGHTED cYCLopEpIA."
To The Editor Of the Portland Daily Press:
In your issue of July Goth there is an article
signed BY ~. z. Miller, Gen. AGENT for d. Ap-
pleton Co., who las taken the truth con
corning Appletons' Priest-ridden Cyclop0dia
deeply TO pocket, if not to heart, and has risen
on the ZIP OF his long ear and talks about
"prize-tighter, " INSULTS ETC., and winds up
his tempest in teapot, and his assumed grief
with the following;-"This comparatively I'M
known man has the infinite assumption to at
tempt to annihilate by one fell blow the we'll
matured convictions and preferences of those
who own and highly prize Appletons' Ameri-
can Encyclopaedia" What if this Miller. when
grinding his little grist at the johnson mill.
had been bitterly denouncing Appletons' Roman
Catholic Cyclop9dia in unmeasured terms, and
also instrumental in bringing that "Blighted
Cyc!op@dia" Immediately under the critical
and just eye Of the REV. DR.. WALKER, and
from him obtained the following scathing let
ter and sent it to the unknown man." iSuch
are the facts. unpalatable as they must be to

JoHNsoN's ENCYCLOPEDIA is eminently an
American cyclop9dia. 1t performs an impor-
tant duty to historic truth in bringing forward
into just prominence facts, places, things, and
persons American, and arranging them in COR
rect proportion with facts, places, things, and
persons European. Europe is slow to learn
that civilization is exemplifed and promoted
quite as we'll on this side of the Atlantic as ON
the other, and European cyclop9dias exhibit
on this point European ignorance. An Ameri-
can cyclopBdia is therefore a needed contribu-
ton to true knowledge. In JoHNsoN's CYCLIC
PlEDIA the best talent has been engaged from
every department of life apd learning, and the
result is most satisfactory. 1t is uorthu mon
un,ent of american scholarship. Its neat type
and page and its convenient and condensed
form are important adiuncts to its value

THE SMOKING NUISANCE.

The smoker who is welded to the hab-
it cannot readily understand why every
body else does not like the same odors.
But the fact is patent that the scent of
tobacco is not only disagreeable to some
persons, but also absolutely poisonous.
1t does not mend the matter to say this
is mere prejuice or weakness. You
have no right to make others uncomfort-
able for your own satisfaction. No gen.
tleman will thrust himself in close prox-
unity to ladies with his coat saturated
with stale smoke. No gentleman will
pass through a car carrying a lighted
cigar in his hand and leaving trail of
offensive smoke behind him. No gentle
man will get in a stage carrying smol-
dering stump in his hand, and keep it
there until it smolders out and emits
more hideous smell then than before.
No gentleman will puff out his costly
smoke on the platform of horse car,
when the passengers inside cannot escape
some portion of the fumes. But you
can find men doing all these things any
day in the week.

PRoJEoT TO CONSTRUCT A Tunnel UN
DER THE ST. LAwRENCE.-A bill has
been introduced in the Quebec Legisla
ture to incorporate a company to con-
struct tunnel between the north and
south banks of the st. Lawrence at
Montreal. The tunnel is to be used
by Provincial and American railways,
as we'll as vehicles and pedestrians. The
capital is S5,O0O,OO0, and the directors
are well-known Montreal merchants.
Five years are required for the compile
ton of the work. The Grand Trunk is
offering vigorous opposition in the inter-
est of Victoria bridge, of which it has a
monopoly, and charges such high tolls
that other means of outlet from the city
are absolutely necessary. A new line
of railway will be commenced between
the south bank of the st. Lawrence, op-
posite Montreal, and Huntingdon, about
20 miles, in few days. An American
company under the name of "The Cham
plain Railway" has the project in hand.
The intention is to join this railway
with Ogdensburg for another line to

who cannot pay small bills can always
find money to buy liquor and treat when
among friends?
Can anyone tell how men live and
support their families, with no income
and no work, when others, who are in
dustrious, are half starved?
Can anyone tell why four-ffths of the

short coat, to man with brains?
Can anyone tell why it is that some
mothers are always ready to sew for the
distant heather when their own children
are ragged and dirty?
Can anyone tell why young men who
are always behind with their landlords
can play billiards night and day, and
always be ready for game of cards

Can anyone tell how man who is

large acquaintance in Orleans County
in former years, it is pleasant to receive
an Orleans County paper and read its
local items. | see the names of some
with whom | was associated years ago
in temperance and religious work, and
remember many of the leading men in
the county. Of the legal profession
there were Kimball of Barton, Cooper

Derby. and others less prominnet; of the
clergy, there we're Peterson of Barton,
Chaplin of Greensboro, Hall of Brown
ington, Fisk of Irasburgh, and Gray of
Coventry of physicians remember
Damon. Garfield, Pierce, Richmond, and
others. Most of the men are dead and
second or third generation is filing
their places; but it is pleasant to recall
the old scenes and the men who were
prominent thirty and forty years ago.
Their virtues make their memories bless
ed, and their example should stimulate
us to better endeavors. Yours is a no.

now shaping its destiny may be men as
worthy as the leading men of the past.

OLD KITCHEN REVERIES.

Far back in my musings my thoughts have been cast
To the cot where the hours of my childhood were
passed;
loved all its rooms to the pantry and hall;
But that blessed old kitchen was dearer than ALL
Its chairs and its tables none brighter could be,
For all its surroundings were sacred to me
To the nail IN the ceiling. the latch on the door,
And love every crack on the old kitchen floor.
I remember the fire place with its mouth high and
wide
The old fashioned oven that stood by its side,
Out OF which, each Thanksgiving, came puddngs and
pies.
That fairly bewildered and dazzled my eyes.
And then, too, st. Nicholas. slyly and still,
Came down every Christmas stockings to fill;
But the dearer memories I've laid up in store
Is the mother that trod on the old kitchen floor.
Day in and day out, from morning till night,
Her footsteps were busy, her heart always light,
For it seemed to me then. that she knew not a care
The smile was so gentle her face rsed to wear;
remember with pleasure whatjoy filed our eyes,
When she told the stories that children SO prize
They were new every night, though we'd heard them
before
From her lips, at the wheel, the old kitchen floor
I remember the window where mornings I'd run
As soon as the daybreak to watch for the SUM-
And thought, when my head scarcely reached to
the sill,
That IL slept through the night in the trees on The
hill,
And the small tract of ground that my eyes there
could view
Was all Of the world that my infancy knew;
Indeed, cared not to know of it more
For world of itself was that old kitchen floor
Tonight those old visions come back at their will
But the wheel and its music forever are still
The band is moth eaten, the wheel laid away,
And the fingers that turned it lie mouldring in clay
The hearthstone, so sacred, is just twas then,
And the voices of children ring out ere again;
The sun through the window looks in as OF yore,
But it sees strange feet on the old kitchen floor.
ask not for honor, but this would crave,
That when the lips speaking are closed in the grave
My children would gather theirs round by their side
And tell them Of the mother who long ago died;
'Twould be more enduring, far dearer to me.
Than inscription on granite marble could be,
| To have them tell often, as did of yore,
| Of the mother who trod on the old kitchen floor

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
find fault. 1t is easy to say that nobody
is honest. 1t is easy to say that the
church is to blame for it. 1t is easy to
say that the church would be all right
if the minister void do and preach what
he ought. But it isn't easy to look on
the best side, to see that there are hun
dreds of faithful preachers, thousands of
honest sincere men and women, count
less acts of justice, charity and humility,
which outweigh all the grumbling of the
grumblers, to that it is really only the
finest dust of the balance. Let US be
fair and cheerful. The world is not all
wrong. Everybody isn't rascal. Our
neighbors are not trying to cheat US.
The church is doing good work for the
world, and even the GROWERS are not
half so disagreeable as they seem.

A writer in the International Re0ieao

A writer in the International Reviea0
estimates from reliable sources that in
fifteen years the production of wheat and
barley in the United States has trebled;
corn, cotton and tobacco more than
doubled; oats increased nearly 100000,
600 bushels; potatoes nearly doubled,
and hay increased more than one third.
He gives the figures for the chief crops
in 1866 and 1879, according to which
the production of wheat has increased
from 1853, 900 bushels in the former
year to 449,755, 900 in the latter; corn
from 7O4, ,4270O0 to 1.544, $4,000.
The exports have rapidly increased IN
the past few years, and are likely to in
crease In the future, especially if the
cost of transportation shall be reduced.
Thus, the total exports of all cereals in
creased from 1000. 900 bushels in 1868
to l99, 100000 in 1873. About 3 per
cent. of the national product was ex-
ported in 1868. and nearly II per cent.
in 1878. In addition to this, the expor-
tation of live stock into which corn
enters more or less. has increased more
than tenfold within the past two years.
Oats are the best feed for working
horses. as they furnish more nourishment
and fesh-making material than any
other food.

COTOPAXI'S SUMMIT.

The most remarkable of all Andean
ascents have recently been made by the
distinguished traveller, Edward Whym-
per. Writing from Quito, he modestly
says he had polished off Chimborazo,
Carazou, Sinehlagua and Antisana. and
passed twenty-six consecutive hours on
the top of Cotopaxi, encamping nine
teen thousand five hundred feet above
the sea- The scaling of Cotopaxi, the
ice clad volcanic cone rising almost
under the equator, is, the traveller
thinks, his principal feat, though Anti
sana was found the most difficult to
surmount. These achievements of
Whymper cast in the shade the many
recent ascenslons of Mont Blanc and all
Alpine adventures In 1862, Hum
boldt was bafled in his attempt to reach
the summit of Chimborazo, which he
determined by trigonometrical measure
ment to be twenty-one thousand four
hundred and twenty feet high. The
eminant savant, Boussingault, subse-
quently got within sixteen hundred feet
of the top, but could go no farther. In
1856, Jules Remy, Frenchman,
claimed to have accomplished the feat,
but as he asserted that the summit was
found over $4,000 feet above the sea,
his whole story was discredited. Other
trigonometrical measurements of this
immense natural fortress put his alti-
tude at about 800 feet below Hum
boldt's figures, but make it certain that
Remy's account is not reliable. So that
Mr.. Whymper may justly claim to have
made the first authenticated ascent of
its snowy dome.
The dazzling apex of Cotopaxi the
most daring of geographic Investigators
have considered insurmountable, as
beneath its surface are sleeping volcanic
fires which, on one occasion, it is said,
hurled mass of stone weighing 200
lbs. to distance of nine miles, and the
CLASSY sides Of this cone are peculiarly
inaccessible and perilous. But in the
recent exploration which overcame all
difficulties, Whymper's party, be says,
had "grown out of being affected by
rarefaction of the air, and could be gay
and lively at $4,000 feet" The sum-
mits of these equatorial peaks have
many secrets Of nature to tell their Wis
itors, and bear on their frosty slopes
the inelible marks of the winds and
storms that sweep the upper atmosphere,
which meteorologists have so longed to
understand. No doubt the full notes
of these latest and loftiest ascents, the
barometric, thermometric and other OBJ.
servations, will be found pregnant with
interest and instruetion.-Nea0 Yorl

A young lady went to drug store,
Monday, located not a hundred miles
from the market house, and had a pre-
scription made up.
"How much ?" inquired the lady.
Fifty cents" said the clerk.
sBut l have only forty-6ve with me. :"
replied the customer; ''can't you let me
have 1t for that?
mo. ma am" said the clerk, "but
you can pay me the five cents when you
come in again
'But suppose 1 were to die" said the
lady jocularly.
"Well, it wouldn't be very great
loss" was the smiling response.
And Immediately the innocent clerk
gathered from the indignant fash on the
lady's face that he had been misunder-
stood. and before he could assure her
that it was the little balance and not
her that would be no great loss, she had
bounced out at go as you please gait
and was beyond the sound of his voice
