CONTENTMENT,

Travelling not long since with Judge S. in

is hard TO find any who is content with his lot

content. He would make free gift of it to any
happy soul that was entirely satisfied with the
allOtments Of Providence. Accordingly, a per-

Mr. Window is not in love with the Treasury
Department. Some OF his friends intimated
that ne has found himself handicapped by
John Sherman's henchmen. My impression
is that Judge Hunt, Lincoln, and probably
MacVeagh, will remain, and that the change

involve change in the Postmaster General

Reoina-My dear, you didn't find
# necessary to go away from me on
business almost every night before
we were married.
Pho, my dear, but my business

P.-I did, my dear. I wasn't so
sure of you as l am now, my dear.
R.-Well, you're candid enough, at

P.-I am, my dear; let US be honest

talked each other out. You know
nae all through and I know you.
R.-A home is adull place, sup

before you married me.
P.-You put the case disagreeably
plain, my dear. There's no need Of
serving up the truth raw in that
fashion. But that's the size of it
when you take the trimmings off.
R.-Very well. my dear. I'm going
out, too; 1 may be out till a. N. /;
possibly till 3.
P.-Where-where are you going.
my dear?

But it's a woman, of course. And
why SO late?

it's business. Business is business,

at such an our. Above all, alwife.

Come, Jets be honest with each other,
Sauce for the gander ought to be the

THREE CENTURIES ago Spain
was the leading nation of Europe,
and for more than one hundred
years she maintained her superior
ity. The conquest Of Mexico and
Peru opened up to her a vast source
of wealth, and the revenue of the
Spanish crown was immense in COM
parSon with the possessions of other
countries; but the luxury and glory
reacted formidably upon the coun-
try. The defendants Of the bold dis
coverers Of unknown regions, and
energetic conquerors Of the New
World, inherited the lust of conquest
without the power. They left their
mother country in hundreds and
found their way to America to plum
der, devastate and ruin. They inter-
married with the native Indians,
Misunderstanding raceswere inferior
in enterprise and industry, and the
energies of Spain were taxed to the
utmost to provide soldiers, priests
and officials for the new possessions.
Her glory dimmed; she sank by the
very acquisitions that had enriched
her, and up to our day has never re-
gained her place as a foremost ma
ton in the politics of Europe.

lis by her aunt to be educated. The girl was
placed in the family of her sister, Mrs. Gowdy.
Since then Mabel has been subjected to con-
slant cruelty and ill treatment by her sister.
She was frequently imprisoned in dark closet
twenty-four hours at time, without food, for
no other reason than that she had in some
way displeased her sister. Three times, In the
most inclement weather, Mabel was turned
out Of doors by the inhnman woman, utterly
destitute, without other relations from whom
she might expect aid. On these occasions she
was taken in by Mrs. Flannery, and for five
weeks was fed and lodged by her. Mrs. Gowdy
was demonstrated with, and always replied
that she would not have the girl around, that
she was able to provide for herself, and advised
Mrs. Flannery to turn the girl out, even in the
coolest weather of the past winter. The girls
ill-usage has not improved her understanding,
which was not the most brilliant or acute, and
as the result of her troubles she is now in
condition bordering upon imbecility Through
the interposition Of benevolent friends Mabel
has been sent to her home in Maine.

TAKING THEIR CHANCES.
Bailey's Bidders and Their Bargains.

Yesterday morning F. o. Bailey & Co. CON-
menced the sale of a thousand unclaimed ex-
press packages at their ware-rooms, in the
presence of large and decidedly mixed audi
ence. There could be seen the staid old Com
mercial street merchant, the dapper clerk, the
truckman just from his jigger, the precise old
lady in black that always haunts auction
rooms, like Mrs. Toodles, bent on bargain,
the pretty young miss employed In the clothing
rooms, and the man-about-town, whose time
hangs heavy on his hands. All these were
present, and many others, all with curiosity
and interest depicted on their features.
At the appointed hour Mr. Bailey took the
stand and stated the conditions OF sale, be-
sides mentioning the fact that probably great
bargains could now be procured for mere
song. This is lottery, said the genial Fred,
in which there are many chances, but, unlike
most games of chance, everybody will receive
prize. "You my dear sir" looking towards
a carefully dressed, well preserved old beau,
may get $4,000 package, and you, my dear
lady," looking at pert young damsel, "a set
of diamond jewelry. Now Charlie, pass up
the first package"
From this time forth the fun grew fast and
furious. A small package, about foot long
by four inches wide and two thick, promised
something nice. The bids succeeded each
other in quick succession. Finally it was
knocked down to well known flour man, who
eagerly examined his prize and found he had
secured a large iumping-jack. A young lady
who had hesitated about bidding, upon being
assured in the blandest tones by Fred that the
package probably contained something no wo-
man could do without, in voice hardly audi
able, offered fifty cents and had the satsfac-
tion of receiving a pair of unmentionables.
A bsshful young clerk, attracted by the
"S18.50 collect" on the side of bundle, bid it
off to discover that he had secured a dozen
bottles of patent medicine that he hardly
thought he should ever have use for. A
very motherly looking old lady captured set
of false teeth, and fayorite bass singer lot
of troches. A girl whose hair looked as if she
had slept in it for month, and who didn't
look as if she lad twenty-five cents in the
world, bid off a brush, comb and toothbrush
in nice little box, and gentleman, we'll

ttThat,S What's the Matter. %

The Rockand Courier says:-"There was
probably misunderstanding existing between
two factions of the Portland Cadets when a
letter was received by the Tillson Light Infan-
try of Rockland asking for an invitation to
visit this city. A correspondence ELECTED the
fact that the Cadets had made arrangements
some weeks before to visit another city and
didn't care to make fhrther engagements.
Here the matter rests and no one knows what s
the matter with them
The Portland Cadets wrote to Gardiner and
Rockland to see what terms could be made for
visit to one of the cities. They received let
tiers from each place, the one from Gardiner
offering extra Inducements and the one from
Rockland saying that at the next meeting of
the Tillson Light Infantry the matter would
be considered. The Cadets Immediately &C
cepted the invitation TO visit Gardiner and
when several weeks later they received letter
from Rockland they replied that they were 60
ing to visit Gardiner and didn't care to 90 to
Rockland.

years previous to his DEATH

An Error Corrected.

few days ago the PRESS copied from the
Somerset Reporter an account of an incident
of a performance at the old Portland Theatre a
good many years ago, in which, the account al
leges, the late Nathaniel Deering prominently
figured. The story, as told by the Reporter,
contains several important errors. 1t is true,
as therein stated, that once while the play OF
the Octoroon was being presented at that thea
tire man jumped upon the stage and offereo
$4,000 for the slave girl who stood upo
the auction block 1t is not true that the man
was Mr.. Nathaniel Deering. Neither is it true
that the man who did go through the perform
anco was the victim of his emotions. On the
contrary, the thing had been carefully arranged
between him and the manager before the per-
Torrance began. The affair was simply a
shrewd ad vertising dodge.
