Eight Cents Short.

The Boston Journal says:-"At the Boston &
Maine station the other day arespectable young
man from Portland was disagreeably surprised
to find himself minus eight cents of the fare
charged back to his beloved home. The last
train of the day was about to leave the unfor-
tunate gentleman behind, and he thought of
the loving embrace and the hearty supper, and
the other comforts of we'll regulated home
all of which he was to be without for the night
to come on account of having invested eight
cents too much while in the Hub-when a
happy idea entered into his mind. In the
waiting-room were two gentlemen, and not
having lost his faith in the humanity of man.
kind he walked up to them, explained his d.
lemma in few words, and added, "Now, gen.
tlemen, will one of you give me eight cents?''
Immediately the kind gentlemen expressed
their willingness to help him out of his fnan-
cial crisis, and suiting the action to the words,
the much needed eight cents were speedily
produced, the ticket procured in hurry, and
the grateful traveller boarded the train just as
it was rolling off to his happy home in the

THE DUBLIN.
The Story of an Unfortunate Brig.

The brig Dublin yesterday arrived in this
port from Manzanillo, Mexico, whence she
sailed January 2. Just as she was entering
the harbor her commander, Capt. T. M. Al
len, died. Some time after the brig had put
to sea, Capt. Allen was taken sick with the
coast fever and confined to his berth The
medicines soon gave out, and the situation be-
came discouraging, when two sailors were TAX
en- sick But the brig fell in with the British
shin Aberystwith Castle, bound for Queens
town, January 81, and was furnished by Capt
Harris with medicines and other necessaries.
But soon after this the nautical instruments
became deranged, and the brig's course having
been changed, she met severe northeast gale
The brig was sighted off Point Reyes Sunday
morning by the Gypsy, coming in from sea.
On Monday she appeared off the point, signal
ing for assistance. Yesterday w. Il. Adams,
the owner, sent the tugboat Donald to her as
sistance, and soon followed on the Holyoke
with Dr. Devening. The assistance came too
late, however, Capt. Allen having died just be-
fore the tugs reached the brig. The deceased
was so years old, and native of Searsport,
Me-. where his mother resides.-Sda Francisco

in case of the Seibert Cylinder Oil Cup COM
pany VS.. the Phillips Lubricator Company ior
infringement of the patent of the s. 9. o.Cup
Co. for the method of lubricating the internal
working surfaces of steam engines by oil fed IN
visible drops through water contained IN
transparent chamber Called the sight feed, the
Seibert Co. being the assignees of John Gates
of Oregon, that the S. G.. o. G. Co. are the true
owners of said patent, that theirs was the orig
inal and first invention, earlier than that OF
Mr. Charles FL. Parshall's Of Detroit and that
parties using this feature in oil cups are IN
RINGERS This question was an important one
to be settled, because the invention is OF great
utility and value and fast coming into general
use. The S. G. o. g. Co. will now vigorously
pursue and prosecute all infringers in the
United States east of the Rocky Mountains.

Ricknell,s Monotvnes.

The beautiful black and white pictures at
the First National Bank, known as the Bick-
nell monotypes, and referred to in the PRESS
the other day, have called forth the admira-
ton of all who have seen them.
The word "monotype," applied to the new
class of art works, is doubtless familiar to most
of our readers, from its frequent occurrence In
the daily papers and art journals; but just
what a monotype is, how it is made, ana the
position it holds among other prints, is proba-
bly, not very we'll understood by those not i'm
mediately interested in their production, or
conversant with art matters generally, there
fore a short description of them may not be out
of place here. 1t is simply a black and white
picture that has been transferred from the sur
face of polished metal plate (like that used
by engravers) upon which it was wrought, to
paper. by the pressure of an engraving press,
and every such impression is an original work,
because, unlike engravings and other prints,
they cannot be struck off, ad intiaitatna, as the
process is not reproductive ore, though Of
course the same plate may be used in the pro-
duction of other subjects as long as there is
ANYTHING left of it,

Chandler's Band at Brunswick.

Seldom are the citizens of Brunswick favored
with good entertainment. In fact so rarely
does such thing occur that we have become
accustomed to stamp nearly every travelling
show that stops here as humbug. 1t is,
therefore, proper that on the occasion OF good
entertainment that we should acknowledge
our appreciation, and we would beg leave to
express Through the columns of your paper
our thanks to Mr.. Chandler and the membeos
of his band for the most excellent concert
which they gave here Thursday evening. We
will not attempt to give detailed account of
the programme, but will simply say that the
entertainment was satisfactory in every re-
sneot. Lemon4 Hall was filled with an audi
ence of the best people of Brunswick charac-
terized for its marked attention and apprecia-
ton during the whole evening. Miss BERTHE
Webb's violin solos were especially pleasing,
and her elocution was wonderful. b.
