MAINE MINEs.-Some mining enthus-
lasts in Oxford County have thought the
DEMOCRAT did not give the business
sufficient encouragement. We have
hoped that all legitimate mining enter
prises would flourish, but have cautioned
our readers against investing where
they knew nothing of the matter.
We are not alone in giving such
words of warning. In his little book
on the "Mines of Maine" Professor
Bartlett gives glowing account OF the
prospects of mining in Maine, but he
closes with the following words of eau
ton, which all will do well to heed,
Before closing, few words of caution
may not be out Of place. expect and in
fact feel confident that many persons Will
be led TO invest in mining stocks who have
little money, aud none TO lose; unless
such persons have had experience in the
purchase aud sale OF mining stocks, or
can through the agency oil a friend, whose
experience qualities him as an adviser, l
would suggest TO them that they do not IN
vest. Many of the mines Offer permanent
and profitable investments, but not all.
Mniagis one business, and stock specializing
riS another. Many Of our best and most
honorable business men have engaged IN
legitimate mining within our boundaries,
but they cannot prevent speculation in
stocks nor Is there any remedy for 1t.

The Rockland Courier SAYS Twenty
four years ago next September George
Knights was committed for life To the State
Prison in Thomaston for murder. During
these years he has never seen the moon,
the cell being 50 situated that he canpot
catch glimpse OF the heavens. We think
this an instance almost without parallel,
that a man in possession OF his eye-sight,
aud not condemned TO solitary coudne-
ment, should live 30 many years without 4
sight or the earths satellite.
1t was merciful thought of his jailer
to 50 place his bed that the moon will
not arouse him at 3 o'clock on some
moony winter morning. No danger, ell
Their, of his getting moon struck.

that can be found has been pressed into serv.
ice to subdue it. At times it seemed that
the fury of the fsmes was overcome, when
the wind would raise and they would break
out afresh with such force as to
carry everything before them. The
private deer park of A. E. Kent,
near the foot of the mountain, was in
imminent danger. but through the exertions
of delegation of San Rafael fremen it was
saved. A report came in to-day that the fire
was spreading in the direction of the water
company's reservoir at La .Juntas, which
caused considerable excitement here, as
it is from this place that the town of
San Rafael obtains her supply of water.
If the fire should get into the timber and

Parneii's Suspense ON in the House OF Gem

Parneii $ suspens1 on IN TIE House oil Gem.
New York, August 2d-The Heralds
London special has the following account of
the suspension of Parnell in the House of
Commons Justin Mccarthy called atten-
ton to the imprisoned Land Leaguers, ask
ing for an opportunity to present their case
in Parliament. Mr.. Gladstone replied, after
some delay, that the Irish members would have
ample opportunity to discuss the arrests in
future. This reply annoyed Parnell, who rose
and denounced the conduct of the Ministry,
in continuing to hold in prison men who were
the true authors of the land bill, while at the
same time they admitted the justice of the
claims put forth in behalf of the tenant farm
ers and the absolute necessity of reform.
This conduct, MIR. Parnell declared, proved
the Ministry and the Parliament to be tyrants
and oppressors. Mr.. Gladstone and Sir Staf-
ford Northcote rose simultaneously to call the
Speakers attention to this language, but Mr.
Parnel went on vehemently, paying no at
tention to the Speaker. He declared that he
cared nothing for the House of Commons.
Mr.. Gladstone moved his suspension. but be-
fore the question could be put Mr.. Parnell
said he would not wait to see the farce played
out, and then Withdrew before his formal
suspension, which followed Immediately af-
terward by an overwhelming majority.
