Where may we find plant so rare,
A tender-growth 50 very fair,
A shrub so sweet as thee,
Slow waving in the summer air,
Oyoung persimmon tree?
In times to come, on lonely nights,
The bad small boy viii scale thy heights
And, climbing, skin his knee,
To confiscate thy rich delights,
Oyoung persimmOn tree!
Thou shalt brave the storm and gale,
And round thy branches, strong and hale,
In ages yet to be,
The cpOssum shall entwine his tail.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. &c, 1881.
To the Editor OF the DEMOCRAT:
The condition OF the President absorbed
the public mind here for eleven weeks.
The entire population shared with this
feeling, until one could learn the state OF
his case in the countenances OF those he
met upon the streets. The sympathy ofthe
people during this time has been marvel
Gus. Whenever any unfavorable change
in his condition was reported 1t would
seem TO be instantly known throughout
the entire city. Large and eager crowds
would gather about the gateways that lead
to the Executive Mansion, and at points
where bulletins were usually posted, and
remain long into the night, even hours az
ter all prospect of hearing anything had
passed. The state Of society here contrib
utes very largely to produce this condition
of things. Very many had partaken large
ly of the feelings of the Sherman-Hayes'
dynasty in regard to General Arthur.
Sherman and Hayes worked with zeal
worthy of better cause, TO place him in
false position, before the country, all TO
vent their spleen against Senator Conk-
ling. Sherman writing to him that he had
made the New York Custom House ga pit
of filth aud corruption" This was for the
public while they ,cere pricdtely urging him
to accept the mission to Austria, thus IL
Illustrating their own dishonesty. All
this contributed to create a feeling Of I'M
easiness, particularly amongst those who
have never been remarkable for their de-
votion to the Republican party. General
Arthur has shown himself to be be both
able and honest in the management Of the
affairs of any and every public position he
has been called to Ill. For one l have
never shared with these feelings, and pre-.
dict for President Arthur brilliant and
able administration. one that will be re-
markable for its earnestness OF purpose,
and honesty.
The news of President Garheld's death
was received in this city in a very few
minutes after its occurrence. In an incred-
IDLY short time thousands were on the
streets, inquiring for the particulars OF his
death. The telegraph and newspaper off,
ces were besieged for news, and by mid
night many were engaged in draping their
houses and places Of business, and the
work went steadily on until very large
majority OF the houses In the city was
adorned with emblems of mourning. There
is an absence of display or rivalry, yet all
appear to be given over to mourning, and

Two DEAD pAPERs.-When the Or
ford Comet was brought into existence
at South Paris, we prophesied that it was
crowding the newspaper field too hard.
Two papers at Norway, one at Paris Hill,
and one at South Paris, was putting
them in too thick, as any man Of ordina-
~ business intelligence, could readily see.
After struggling along for a time, the
Comet has been discontinued, and the
subscription list was transferred to the
Norway Idrertiser. We understand
that the material in the Comet office is
soon to be removed to Mr.. Drake office.
Mr. Meserve has gone into the Office with
Mr.. Drake. The Norway ddrsrtiser
has also been discontinued, and in place
of these two papers, we now have the
Oxford County Advertiser, published by
Messrs. Drake and Meserve, at NORWAY
and South Paris This consolidation Is
movement in the right direction, and It
should be still further carried on. One
good paper can be well supported by the
business Of Oxford County. More than
one issue makes it up hill Shedding for
all.

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.
PRESIDENT GARfiELD's PREDICTION THAI
HE WOULD DIE on THE ANNIVERSARY
Oh CIIICKAMAUGA.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2l.-One OF the Pc
culiar incidents In connection with the
tragedy Is the prediction made by Gen. Il.
ID. Massey, n well-known lawyer OF this
city, and q personal friend OF the late Pres
ident, on Saturday, August 21th. When
the physicians gave the President up. Nm
uounclng TO Mrs. Garfield aud the Cabinet
that he could not live, Gen. Mussey was
asked his opinion. being on the evening OF
that day In New York. He said ne did not
think the President would die on that day,
aud that II he died ut all 1t would be Sept.
10 When asked for an explanation OF his
cause for fixing the death SO far In the fu-
ture, he said that on September -, 1868,
Gen. Garfield was made Major General
for his gallantry at the battle OF ChIcka-
manga, aud that he had frequently told
him that he thought he would die on the
anniversary OF his promotion. Gen. Gar
field was great believer In dates, and the
verihea:ion OF the prediction Is, under the
circumstances, regarded as one OF the most
striking OF the many strange incidents in
come ,tion with the case. Gen. Mussey
Is here now, and on being asked In regard
% IL, said that he did not claim anything
fjr his prophecy (Which was printed the
following day In several papers,, but he
oaly repeated what Gen. Garfield had told
him several times with an earnestness that
impressed him so much that he never for
got 1t.

ROBBERS CoNFEss.-Will Humphreys,
now in Jail in this city, who was arrested
in, Lewiston with Milton Edwards, In con-
nection with the robbery of Mr.. Z. NJ.
Steadman's house in that city, has made a
confession which shows he and Edwards
and two other Lewiston fellows TO have
been the perpetrator OF the mysterious Sc
ries Of small robberies which have occur
red in Androscoggin county and its vicin-
ity, the past summer. Besides robbing
Mr.. COfin's store in Brunswick, they en-.
tered DIR. Fosters house at Lisbon and
stole some clothing. They committed the
Mechanic Falls burglary and also the re-
cent burglary in Oxford. Sheriff Little
field came 10 this city from Auburn Jail
, with Milton Edwards on Saturday, and the
city officials now have him In charge, with
the intent TO secure an indictment against
him for the Brunswick robbery, on Hum
phreys's testimony. The Lewiston police
have attempted 10 secure the other fellows
| implicated, but are unable 10 find them.
The confession OF Humphreys clears up
several matters that were very puzzling 10
the officers OF the law, and will keep him
self and Edwards in doors for a long time

! Davis. Foster.
No. 1877. Edward S. Rawson vs.. Chas
| A. kimball.
This was an action for diversion OF
water course, with damages alleged a
$4,000. The parties are owners OF adjoin
ing lands in Rumford, and brook runs OF
70 the land of the defendant, and through
agully into a creek, bog or swsle, and ther
over the land OF the plaintiff TO the An
droscoggin River. The allegation by the
plaintiff Is that there has been pond
formed by the brook in this bog or creek
a. the water comes into it, covering about
one acre, and that the brook has always
run into the pond before it run out, and
that great part of the water was absorb
ell into the earth or eyaporated before 1t
left the land OF the defendant that In 1917
the defendant SO changed the course OF
the stream that il did not run into the
pond. but went a straight course towards
the plaintiffs land, and thereby more water
was carried onto his land through the
bog than was customary, and that his lands
were greatly damaged, and that he had
lost the sale OF the same IN consequence
and could not clear the same or cultivate
any OF the land around the swale.
The defense was that there was no dam
age to plaintiff; that the ancient course of
the stream for sixty years had until within
a few years been, not into the so called
pond, but at one side Of it and thence
through the bog onto the plaintiffs land
- il has run since the defendant changed
the course.
The case commenced Wednesday morn
ing and was not closed till Saturday night,
and there were about twenty witnesses
called and examined on each side; the ties
timouy was conflicting as TO the ancient
course Of the stream, and on the question
OF damage to the plaintiff. The case was
given to the jury Saturday evening, and
AFTER about two hours returned verdict
for the plaintiff Of one dollar.

paper OF the Second District, gives an idea
how the straight Democrats feel aba. the
result ia that district.
We respectfully invite the Argus ID take
back scat-and stay there.
Perhaps the Argus will now take the
gentle hint OF last Mondays election and
stop poking its Greenback nose into Sec
ond District Democratic affairs.
II our Greenback friends, what there
are left of them, learn the lesson OF Mon
days 1000 Republican majority, that the
Democracy OF Maine cannot be dictated TO,
it will not be given In vain.
The next time our down-east Greenback
friends want to trade for transfer OF the
Democracy to the Scion Chase co,unn, 1t
will he worth their while TO first fni out
whether the goods can be delivered.
Last year we threw away this city and
county To please the Chase-Fogg crowd.
This year we have thrown away the dis
trict aud rolled up larger Republican ma
jprity by 1000 than they ever had, 10 please
the same crowd. Brethren, isn't this thing
about played out
Mondays election teaches Democratic
politicians of the Argus stripe that they
cannot hope to establish fusion which is
no fusion but surrender or party integ.
rity and principles; that the masses OF a
party, the men who have no other object
in political action than to see the right
prevail aud principle triumphant, cannot
be Induced to swallow everything on the
anything to beat" platform; that such q
platform has no power OF permanent CO.
hcsion in it and will be repudiated when
the strain upon party principle and indi-
vidual seli-respcct has reached its limit.
II teaches these politicians that all at
tempts To belittle and crush ont the ex-
preston OF true Democratic thought and
fcrlin: rs bodied forth In regular conyeu-
ton assembled, to stab ia the back the
regular party nominee and to demoralize
and destroy his support in the interest of
third party candidates, will be Indignantly
repealed by Democratic voters and re-
ceive the overwhelming rebuke they de-
serve.
