How Gen. Anderson Can Save Time.

To the Editor of the Press:
When Iwas-a boy attended theatre where
an actor used 10 sing two songs, one called the
Army song, the other the Navy song. One
half of this gentleman was dressed from head
to foot as soldier, the other part as a sailor
The gentleman would sing the army song and
look like Hancock Veteran, then turn around
and sing the Navy song and look Ike one of
oar jolly tars. This arrangement saved time
and the trouble of shifting his clothes; and the
idea took immensely. 1 would recommend
plan of this kind to the Fusion candidate for
Congress in this District. Let him instead of
losing time by holding meetings on different
nights have both the same night and gain time
One part of him could be dressed in butter
nut suit, the other in green with mask rep
resenting Col. Montgomery. He could ham,
mer away upon the doctrine of estate Rights
and against strong government then turn
around and with the other half of him initiate
his lungs with fiat wind and advocate the
abolition of the National Banks, and placing
their power in the hands of the Secretary of
the Treasury. As he stands on the platform
of 1868 he can explain his plan for taxing Gov
eminent bonds. This from the green part of
him would take we'll with the Greenbackers
and the Democracy in the audience would take
comfort in the thought that when this hybrid
arrived at Washington he would be registered
as member of that Democracy so ably exem-
plfed by the immortal Buchanan. They
would feel happy at the thought that for all of
this humiliation they were to be repaid if they
only got the Offices fand to attain such re-
suit they could afford to hold their noses be-
tween their thumb and finger until this cleo
ton is over Perhaps it would be we'll for the
candidate not to go back prior to 1868 as he
used during the war to denounce the green
back that he is now so much in love
with. He is now Hancock Veteran, and
some of his audience were loyal to the
Government during the war, and he should
not to say much about the unconstitutional
acts of Lincoln and his hirelings The Gen
eral may perhaps explain how he comes to
differ from the superb soldier who won the
battle of Gettysburg. The S. S. says the 18th,
14th, 18th amendments are the fruits of that
war Brigadier Gen. Anderson M. V. M, H. w.,
says he stands on platform that says these
acts were unconstitutional, revolutionary and
void. he can talk from the butternut stand
point upon that part and from the green or less
intellectual part of him put in the fiat agony
a Ia Fogg. 1t will suit his audience to perfec-
ton. 1 ask nothing, Mr.. Face-both-ways for
this advice. 1 hope you will try it-and get
Todd for valet; he can groom you for the
performance and no doubt it would draw full
houses. REPUBLICAN.

The Cameron-Estes Plow.


The Cameron-Estes Plow Company gave an
exhibition and test trial of their newly
patented roller plow in Deering yesterday
afternoon, and the trial proved in every way
satisfactory one. One of the principal points
OF superiority in the pillow is that the mold
board has three rollers, five inches in length
and three in diameter. arranged at right angles
with the curvature of the sheer, and also
three on the land side. These project through
the sides of the pillow about SIS of an inch and
have the effect to carry off large amount of
friction, in some cases it is claimed as high as
60 per cent. The plow did not clog liz the
least, it being arranged SO that every root or
twig that got between the rollers and the side
was cut as if by the knife of plane.
The first trial was in a heavy sward, with
the roller pillow which turned furrow 20
inches wide and inches deep, and the num-
Der of pounds registered by Fairbanks
dynamometer in drawing the pillow was 525, on
the average This was an iron pillow and it is
claimed that steel will reduce the above figure
considerably. The next pillow was Cameron &
Co.'S best No. iron. which took by the
meter $50 pounds to turn furrow II inches
wide and seven inches Deep which showed
the superiority of the new plow. The Cameron
plow used in this trial was the one that made
SO fine record at the Maine State Fair three
years ago, being 800 pounds lighter draft than
any competing pillow. A large number Of
people witnessed the work and all expressed
themselves we'll satisfied with the trial. The
manufacturers have had inducements offered
to remove to Saccarappa, but our capitalists
should see that this industry be permanently
located in Portland.

KENNEBEC VALLEY -MEETIN G..

MONDAY.
Nature has been in one of her sunriest moods
today. In fact it would have been a little too
sunny had it not been for the grateful shade of
the naples and birches which form the grove.
The people spent the day mostly in fitting up
their tents and cottages for the approaching
session of the District Camp-meeting, and they
have succeeded so we'll that nearly 400 are now
ready for occupancy.
At 7.3O p m. Rev. Stephen Allen, d. D.,
presiding elder of this district, opened and con-
Quoted the first meeting of the season at the
tabernacle. Some twenty ministers were pres
ent conspicuous among whom was our venera-
BILE friend Rev. John Allen, who is attending
his 3O3d camp-meeting. The meeting was a
social one and very interesting
The order of exercises for the week, as an
nounced by DIR. Allen, is as follows: The ris-
ing bell will ring at 5. 80 a. M. family worship
at 6; social meetings at $50; preaching at 10 a..
M, p. IN. and 7.30 p. m.
TUESDAY
The second day Of the meeting was as fair
and pleasant as the first, although not quite as
warm. The weather is especially favorable
for people to camp out and every train brings
in hundreds from the hot and dusty towns and
villages.
At $50 social meetings were held in the va
rious society tents on the ground their pastors
leading the services.
At 10 o'clock the bell summoned to the
stand to worship. The services were opened
by singing Nearer My God to Thee,' Miss
Helen Atkins from Augusta presiding at the
piano.
After very earnest prayer by Rev. w. S.
Jones, very able and eloquent sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre from I'd. Cor.
13:9-"And this also we wish, even your per-
fection." The subject of his discourse was
Christian perfection.
AT p. m. we once again assembled at the
stand to hear an excellent discourse by Rev
A. w. Pottle of Beth, from the Sth Psalm, Sd
to 9TH verses.-When l consider the heavens,
etc.
In the evening Rev. Seth III. Beale of the
East Maine Conference, preached to the larg-
est congregation yet assembled on the ground.
His text was from Matt. 12:30-"He that is
not with me is against me-" and his subject
was the character and conduct of those who
are with Christ contrasted with those who are
against Him: also the results Of their conduct
contrasted The sermon vas scholarly and i'm
pressive and very much enjoyed by all who
had the privilege to hear it.

Narrow Escape from Death.

Yesterday Mr.. E. P. Doyen, who is in the EN-
ploy of G. NJ. & II. T. Plummer, No. II Union
street. had narrow escape from being killed
while at work in Kelley's foundry on Gross
street. An emery wheel burst and a section of
it was thrown with great violence upward, hit
ting the timbers OF the shop and, iii the recoil,
knocking him down and inflicting severe in
juries about the head and face. Considering
all the circumstances of the case, his escape
from instant death was hardly less than mrac-
ulous.
