see it everywhere. People take it with good
effect. 1t builds them up. 1t is not as pleas

The war Premium claimants sanguiu

The War Premium Claimants Sanguiue.
Perley of the journal says: .The represen-
tatives Of the war claimants are very much
more confident of success in this Congress than
they for years have been. The arguments of
yesterday and information which they think
they have obtained as to the committee have
encouraged them in this view. To begin with
the Chairman of the committee, Mr.. Reed of
Maine, is in favor Of the war premium and ex-
culpated cruiser interests, whereas the Chair
man under the Democratic administration of
the House, Proctor Knott, has uniformly been
against them. In addition, there are two Mas
sachusetts members on the committee, Nor
cross and Robinson, who have a record in
favor of the war premiums, and Mr.. Willetts
of Michigan, is also understood to be commit
ted to that view. A noteworthy fact is that
the underwriters have as yet had no bill pre-
sented to either house IN their interest, and the
war premium Representatives are of opinion
that all of the insurance companies, with the
exception of the Atlantic of New York, have
abandoned their efforts to secure the fund. Mr..
Jones of that company, however, still adheres
to his opinions, and one of his representatives
arrived here Wednesday"
This will be interesting news to Maine peo-

Art Exhihitinn.


A very interesting private exhibition OF
paintings and drawings, the work Of the pupils
of Mrs. DR.. Warren, is in progress at the resi-
dence of Mrs j. e. Mcdowell, Deering street.
The parlors have been appropriately draped
with dark material, the festoons caught up
with the ssgaudy leonine sun-fower," and fur
nishing the background for the pictures and
PLAQUES, of which latter there are quite
number, as well as rich panelings in velvet
and plush, adorned with graceful sprays OF
myrtle or clenatis, the cat-o-nine-tail or the
"chaste lily" Scattered here and there are
tall easels, each bearing its gartistic burden, in
almost every case portrait in crayons, of
some well known citizen. The pict res en-
brace all Subjects landscape, marine, interiors,
etc., and all show careful work. Several of
the pictures and placques eyince decided tai
ent both in coloriDg and drawing. There are
some very pretty flower studies, and fruit is
not neglected. The portraits, as rule, show
much skill in catching good expression and
securing an excellent likeness.
Yesterday there was large attendance of
the friends of the pupils and it is pleasant to
see the interest that has grown, and the
knowledge that has obtained, in art in this
city during the past decade.

The pauper case "Anburn VS.. Wilton has

notice to the officers of the town of Wilton
that the family had fallen into distress, the
Auburn officers gave the name of "Benton

correct Sname of the person. Wilton now
claims that, although the family legal settle

The Farmer Class Always Oppressed.


In every country in the civilized
world the farmer class is the worst
treated by the rules of the country. In
no kingdom or so-called republic are
the farmers truly represented in the
Legislative halls. In America, farmers
interests are q most as much forgotten
as women's interests. No legislator
ever thinks OF introducing or urging
measures to advance vomen's interests.
Farmers are not only neglected, but are
positively mistreated, are robbed of a
large portion Of their hard earnings as
well rs despised for their tame endur-
ance Of their wrongs.
Farmers are taxed to make the manu-
facturers rich, nobody is taxed to make
the farme rich.
Seven million six hundred thousand
persons in this Union are engaged in
agricultural pursuits.

their egotism been mere foible, mistle-

that he would sometime give to the

sublime confidence in q great and lofty

world knows the result, and truly his
work will never die. Position in the

gle. 1t must be achieved by "toiling
