then a splendid ride on the Narrow Gauge
To Phillips dinner At Barden House "
aud Elmwood," where We were intro
duced to the famous Camp-meeting John
Allen, who said, in answer TO questions,
that he moved into Pennington just eighty
six years and five months ago, as near as
he could remember, and was carried In un-
beknown 10 himself and for aught he knows
against his will. He says he reckons his
age now by the month, Us he draws 50 fast
toward the end he dare not wait for years.
We met man on the Maine Central yes
trrday-B. L. HAYES, Esq, OF Coplln Plan
tation, Maiue-whom we esteem A. won
der. lie says he fell from plank, walking
from a wharf in Boston to a vessel, week
ago last Thursday, and struck the water
eighteen feet below, feet foremost, and
only went In TO his waist. although the
water was twenty feet deep. He says he
cannot sink any deeper, nor never could.
Once he fell from raft OF logs, and was
carried down stream BY the ragid current
toward the falls below the other so!kmen
ran for boats and made for him, but he
told them to keep away and let him go, for
he was all right and could take care of him
self, as he was then only waist deep and In
an upright position. The river soon swept
him near point Of land where he managed
to reach the shore, much easier than the
boats, although he could not swim foot.
His lie had been chapter or accidents :
he lost his mill property once by water,
and once by fire, together with oxen and
other personal property; he had pair OF
horses burned to death in the road in a
forest by whirlwind fire, and always when
he had acquired little property and saw
little chance ahead something would hap
pen to deprive him Of il; and he said he
wa waiting aud wishing for death and did
not wish to live.
After dinner, say at +. NJ, we left Phil
lips in two covered coaches carrying about
dozen passengers each, and several small
Ter vehicles, for Rangely. Climbing up
Saddle back spur of Beech Hill in Madrid,
we were gseeted with one of the fearfulest
thunder storms. We had then reached III
elevation Of $500 feet, and the lightning
streaked around the mountain sides and
through the ravines and gorges with blind
ing effect; and the thunder echoed from
mountain to mountain, accompanied by
driving cloud of rain, hail and wind. Some

blaine The Philadelphia North Amer
lem SAYS. Secretary Blaine, prior TO
his becoming head OF the Garfield Caoi-
net. was very often spoken OF contemptu-
ously by the independent press Us being
2 mere machine politician, sort OF po-
litical boss, aud largely deficient in the
Qualification of enlightened statemanship.
I,ut eycUts have tried the character Of the
man. and shown him to be one ofthe aoiest
Cabinet managers the Republic has ever
hal. Despite all antagonism. Pers9paI
or political, the administration has become
marked success for which the response
blity largely rests upon Mr.. Blaine's
shoulders.

A notable feature Of the service at
the Cong'l church last Sabbath, all were
in season. Our own minister deserves to
be treated with the same amount OF cour-
tesy we heap on strangers. II we can't

ten, let Us petition for q new timetable

That's good sense. The services IN a
church should begin as promptly as the
work in any business establishment. 1t
is the clergyman's business to conduct The
services, aud he should be treated with
the same courtesy as the members of a
firm or the manager of a factory. 1t is
also the clergyman duty to carry out
his part Of the arrangement and be on
hand at the appointed haQF. Tardiness
at church breeds tardiness in the school
and factory and in all the walks OF life.
Hardness is bad habit, easily acquired,
and to be broken only by strong and
determined effort.
