ENGLISH wooden manufactures owe a
debt of gratitude TO a certain Dutchman
named John Rempe, who, some 500 years
ago, accompanied Philippine, OF Ham
ault, when she lett her native Flanders
to become the bride of King Edward Ill
At that time the English exported their
wool, and received it back from Holland
III the shape OF cloth, and, until the
aforesaid John Rempe set about estab-
fishing cloth mandatory, not yard
of the woven material worn IN England
was made at home. To encourage the
infant industry which Rempe established
in England, KING Edward Ill enacted
law forbidding his subjects to wear
cloth not of English manufacture.

A Nocturnal Ramb,e and What Came


Some genius-we suspect him TO be-
long to the iOvial order of humanity
has said; 1.-The day to drone and dream,
the night TO learn and ramble." We do
not propose to dispute this worthy's view
of the matter, but present herewith the
/ experience of a Philadelphia journalist.
Mr.. William IL. Cunnington, 1872 North
Twentieth Street, one of whose noctGr
nal rambles he thus refers to, beginning
his narration rather peculiarly, however {:
- am not a rheumatic, and have been
troubled very little with bodily pains
Last Tuesday morning 1 experienced
very annoying stiffness of the neck,
which grew worse as the day wore on.
Toward evening it became very severe,
and could scarcely turn my head IN any
direction. Arriving home at tea time, it
was with difficulty that 1 could eat my
meal. My wife wanted to rub my neck
with St. Jacobs Oil, but refused, saying
l thought the atfhctiOn would soon pass
away. Tea over, against the remon-
strances of my family, l left home to
ramble toward the new Chestnut Street
Opera House, about two and a-iIalfmiles
from my residence. l started in the
midst of a heavy snow storm, tid re-
manned at the theatre until the ebse of
the performance, although l could feel
my neck getting worse and becoming
very painful Leaving the play the
trouble came to reach home. The storm
continued; the car in which 1 was be-
came blocked in nearly every square. a
cold current of air swept through the
car, and did not reach home until to-
ward a. m, by which time my neck
had become absolutely rigid. Then 1
consented to the use of st. Jacobs Oil
which my wife applied two or three times
before l arose. L continued its use that
day and by evening was free from pain,
and the next morning 1 amused myself
by twisting my neck in any direction that
suited me, and not vestige of stiffness
remained. Boston Herald.

EXTENSIVE Real Estate Purchases.


Friday last the PRESS mentioned the fact
that the Eastern Railroad Company was build
ing two new side tracks between their freight
depot and station, and negotiating for consid-
cradle real estate. The real estate, it is under
stood, comprises Dyer's, Deake's Sturdivant's
and Perleys wharves; in fact, all the wharves
lying between Railroad and High street
wharves. 1t is also reported these wharves-
if the purchase is concluded-will be put in
substantial condition, the docks dredged and a
capacious elevator erected The impression has
been given in the spast that the management
of the Eastern Railroad believes in policy of
builcing up Portland, not of making 1t mere
way station. and also believes in trying to make
trade by accommodating business men, not by
rebuffing them at every opportunity. The i'm
provements if made, will be hailed with pleas
ure.
Messrs Yates, Porterfield & Co., of New
York, have, sold the extensive High street
wharf property, to the Berlin Mills Co., for, it
is reported, the sum of $4,000. This pur-
chase was necessitated by the growth of the
company's business. 1t is understood the
wharf will be m ade one of the most substan-
tial in the city, and the old wharf, which lies
next beyond the Boston & Maine wharf, will
be thoroughly rebuilt. The incoming business
of the company will very largely increase the
shipping from this port.
The heirs of the late JUDGE Williams have
sold to L. D. M. Sweat their interest in the
Presumscot Falls property at Falmouth. This
Is considered as fine water power as any in
the state, and it is understood that Mr.. Sweat
is acting for S. d. Warren, large manufac-
turer. Mr.. Warren owned the f. o. J. Smith
interest, and now, with the Williams interest,
gets possession of the whole property, embrac-
ing some twenty acres. The improvement OF
this property will bring a large number of en-
ployees within the vicinity of the city, and
Portland will. derive great benefit therefrom.
The old foundry in the rear of Simond's dye
house on India street, owned by Mr. John
Stinchcomb, which has lain idle for the past
five or six years, is undergoing thorough re-
pairs and both the building and machinery are
to be put in frst-class working order. In a
short time active operations will be commenced
here in casting and moulding work. About
eight men will be employed here the year
round. 1t is understood that the bulk of the
casting work for the Grand Trunk road, which
has heretofore been done in Bath, has been Sc
cured by Mr.. Stinchcomb and will be done in
his foundry here.
The Whitney Cater Company, whose Or
ganization was reportedilast week, has purchas-
ed the large brick shoe factory, formerly run
by Norris, Hull & Co., on Newbury street, and
which has been unoccupied The building is
fitted with first class elevator and machinery
and will be used for constructing boots and
shoes under the company's new patent.

Children's Ward at the Hospital


The little band of patient workers, whose
winters labors eliminated in a sale on Decora-
ton Day, earned 300. To this sum they now
expect to add more to carry on the work of
furnishing the children's ward for the State
Hospital in this city. Towards the end Of No
vember we hear that the little ones are to give
an afternoon and evening entertainment, the
proceeds of which will, they hope and believe,
carry on to completion this most necessary part
of the hospital arrangement. The late DR..
Greene took special interest in this plan for
the comfort of the younger patients. and not
only all the medical staff bat the entire COM
munity can easily appreciate the Importance of
some separate ward for the reception and care
of any children who may be in our hospital
Knowing somewhat of the enthusiasm and
energy of some of the ladies who are helping
the children we can predict for their enter
tainment a success, and surely even the young
est are none too young to do all in their power
to help these works of charity and love for the
afflicted and suffering.

The Herald says:-"When Davis and Ken
nedy issued their counter challenge to Conley
and Hamm for series of races, three weeks
time was given for the acceptance of the prop
osition. That time is not yet up and will not
be for quite while. The Halifax boating
men are slow but sure in their movements,
and will undoubtedly be heard from as soon as
the Rowing Association has carefully consid-
cred the proposition put forth by the Portland
ers. Probably by next Wednesday action will
be taken, and the association will either advise
Conley and Hamm to stick to their first chal-
lenge, proposing a double scull race only, or
will forward the amount necessary to cover the
deposit of $1,000 for a series of races, together
with articles of agreement for signature
Some delay is likely to occur in settling pre-
liminaries for the race, as the parties to the
proposed matches will play very shy of each
other Unless they come to an agreement
very soon the weather in the North will be too
cold and raw for shell rowing
