Serious Illness of Justice Clifford.

oOAiOuo 1llu6S5 OI JuSLlC0 OllIIOrQ.
Justice Clifford of the United States SUI
preme Court was taken suddenly sick in
Washington Friday night, and so grave was
the case considered that kilograms were sent
to his eldest son and other members of his
family requesting them to start for Washing
ton at once. AT noon Saturday his daughter,
Mrs. Cummings, who is in Washington, sent
the following dispatch:
Father still very sick, and case critical, but
we are hoping"
At 10 O'Clock Saturday night he was an
nounced to be much improved, and at mid
night his condition was reported unchanged.
He complained of being dizzy, and it was re-
ported that he had stroke of paralysis of the
brain while on the train to Wash
ington, but the report was later pronounced
unfounded.
A New York Herald Washington despatch
of last evening says: w. II. Clifford, son of
Justice Clifford, arrived tonight from Port
land having been telegraphed to come without
delay. The illness of Justice Clifford togeth-
er with his advanced age make it extremely
doubtful whether he ever will be able to re-
sumo his place on the bench. He is entitled
to retire under the law, but would not do so at
this time when there is possibility of the
election of a Democratic President who could
name his successor from among the eminent
lawyers of the Democratic party.
Justice Hunt is also unable to discharge the
duties, being still afflicted with paralysis 1t
is also reported that Justice Swayne of Ohio
will retire this fall from the Court

Last evening was the 9th anniversary of tt .
West End chapel Sabbath school, and the
chapel was handsomely decorated. The desk
was removed and table placed on the plat
form. which was covered with flowers. An
arch, formed of oak and maple leaves hand
somely entwined, was placed back of the plat
form. At the right of the table was pro-
fusion of flowers, while to the left were vines
and flowers, the whole making a very attract
i've and pleasing display.
Miss Clara Carlton presided at the organ and
the music, which was very fine, was under the
direction of Mr. Buzelle. The pastor, Rev. j.
F. Morgan, presided and prayer was offered by
Mr.. Jeffers. The usual anniversary exercises
followed, creditable alike to teachers and pu
pills, after which brief addresses were made by
the pastor and others. Mr.. Morgan, in his ad-
dress, sketched in an interesting manner the
history of the school since 1874 During the
past year no death has occurred am org either
teachers or scholars, and the school is in a
flourishing condition.

Portland go Years Ago.


DIR. N. T. True in the Gorham. IN. HI
Mountaineer, has been giving some recollec-
tions of Portland sixty years ago, when he
first saw it. The following description of the
town will be of interest to the younger portion
of our citizens:
The town itself was very small compared
with its present dimensions. King street,
since called India street, seemed to be the
eastern limit of the town. East of that was
the Cemetery, which was really outside of
the town. just east of that and facing the
harbor were earthworks thrown up in the
war of 1879 and behind which the cannon
were still mounted. Munjoy hill was unset
tied and mostly an open pasture. On the sum-
init was a fort and the ODsery atory, looking
much as it does now. Where Cumberland
street now is was an open pasture. Bran
halls hill, on the west part the city was a
pasture covered with wood, with blueberry
bly, the western limit of the town. AT this
time the wharves extended up to Fore street,
the whole length of the town. Commercial
street as made after the building of 1.-THE
Grand Trunk Railroad The whole popula-
tion was about eight thouoand. The poorest
classes frequently appeared in the streets in
tattered garments, and begging was more
common than now Goods were not adver-
tised by handbills, but the town crer passed
through the streets and ringing hand bell,
proclaimed in loud voice, and with an i'm
portant air, that certain articles would be sold
at vendue on certain day.
There were no wholesale stores then in Port
land, and of the retail trade, as then conduct
ed DR.. True says Green street was then the
principal street for retail with the farmers
The street received the not very savory name
from the farmers of Huckter's ROao, and was
at that time better known by that name in all
the country around. The stores for retail
trade were not the buildings you see nova
days. They were small wooden buildings
aud contained few barrels of "York flour, ~
a hOgshead of mOasseS, another of New Eng
lard rum, and perhaps of West India rum,
which was more expensive article. Some
decanters and a gill cup on the counter were
necessary articles i'll every retail store Some
bakers gingerbread and barrel of crackers
would also be found in ach store. A little
cotton cloth and perhaps piece of blue broad
cloth might be seen and some calico for dresses
| This was the outfit of most of the stores.
| From the following reference to the former
residents sof Portland it will be seen that
| among the good people of the town sixty
| years ago were some notable men.
At that time everybody knew the names OIL
Asa Clapp, James Deering, Nicholas Emery
| Simon Greenleaf, Gen. Richardson, Stephen
| Longfellow, DR.. Payson, DR. Nichols, Parson
| Kellogg. Rev. Thomas b. Ripley, Samue
| Freeman, Judge Mellen and Judge Whitman
beside many Others who played an important
part in the history of the stown at that time
Henry w. Longfelow, the future poet, anl
| n. z. Willis, were little boys in the streets
| Wm Pitt Fessenden was then young mar
living in New Gloucester and attending school

The case of Pride, the alleged dealer in
counterfeit money, camp up before Commits
sioner Rand Saturday. c. E. Clifford, Esq.,
appeared for Pride and Hon. w. +. Lunt con-
Quoted the case on behalf of the Government
1t is charged that on the third day of July the
Government witness, Libby, shoed horse for
Pride, who paid him a dollar, the dollar that
was produced in Court. He Libby paid Pride
back fifty cents and afterwards demanded
good money of Pride for the dollar. Pride re-
fused to give it to him, denying that he paid
him the dollar. The Government here rested.
Pride, in defence, claims that the bill was only
forty cents, and that he paid Libby fifty cents
and received in return ten cents. He told
Libby that he did not pass the dollar. 1t APP
peared in evidence that Libby once admitted
that it was fifty cent piece, and not dollar.
that Pride gave him. 1t was also claimed that
Libby asked one dollar in payment for the dol
la- passed on him and $1.50 in addition for his
trouble. Pride was bound over in the sum of
5000 to the September term.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
coNcRrss sonARE CHURCH

CONGRESS SQUARE CHURCH.
Prof. w. R. Shipman of Tufts College
preached at the Congress Square church YES
terday morning from John xv,8 sHerein is
my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit"
To glorify God is not to confer new glory
upon Him WHO'S the author and source of
glory. 1t is but to make His glory manifest.
1t is to show Him as He is in all His perfec-
ton OF character. Man, of all the works of
God, can but glorify him, because that man
has more of His nature. But to see the glory
OF God we must know Him and live in Him.
We know God, and live in and by Him, only
through Jesus Christ our Lord In Christ the
divine nature was made manifest. To know
Him is to know the Father In Christ God
dwells with man. The chosen people of God
OF old reared temples to His honor that were
the wonder of the world. Through Christ il
was revealed that man may become the tenn
pie Of the living God In Christ alone we see
the perfection of the divine life. The man
who has no knowledge of God may do good
deeds, but he falls far short of the true life
lived with Christ in God, and fails to reach the
true standard of life The truest aid highest
life is that life that in the fullest sense makes
that God has appointed, and that is by Him
who has said, 81 am the way, the truth and
the life" Whether we are in that way or not,
we all know that the Christian life is the
best.
To glorify God we must bear fruit 1t is not
enough to shout "Glory to God" We may do
that from morning to night and yet God not
be glorified in us. Many lives bear nothing
but leaves. Thousands who cast branches in
the way OF Jesus did rothing else to honor
Him.
The fruit of our lives must partake of the
stock from which it comes, 1t must be of God
We must show faith working through love.
To grow into the likeness of Christ is after
all the only evidence that we are with Him.
We must bear much fruit. The life that
everywhere certifes to its origin is the life to
be sought for. Not only fruit, but much fruit is
required. The life that abounds in good works
is the life that glorlies God. Life yet more
abundantly is promised. We do not witness
for God by rising once, and saying we are for
Him, we must live for Him. We must be
open letters. to be read by all men. "Let
your light so shine before men that others see
ing your good works may glorify your Father
that is in heaven" The Christian disciple
ship that is to convert the world will abound
and overflow with the evidences of the divine
life
