More About Plaisted.

The Advertiser says General Plaisted adj
vised the Council of 1879 not to allow the
result of the election to be changed by any
technicaities." This is ''fresh' piece of
political information. When and where did
Plaisted give this advice? Does the Adver-
tiser mean to say that he opposed the count
out? If he did, it must have been in solilo-
GUY. for he never lifted his voice in public
against it, While honorable Democrats
were condemning the crime of the Garcelon
Council he did not join in the condemnation.
He was mute then. But later on he took
occasion to assail theSupreme Court for its
wise and righteous decision That is the po-
sition Harris Plaisted held during the con-
troversy. Does the Advertiser question this
statement? Has it any proof to offer that
Plaisted was opposed to the count-out? Did
he ever publicly condemn that crime? DID
he ever privately condemn it? If so, when?
Did he approve or disapproye the opinions
of the Court? On which side of the ques-
ton vas his influence cast and his voice
heard? If he condemned the action OF the
Council and approved the action OF the Court
the people of Maine have hitherto been ig-
norant of it. Will the Advertiser enlighten
them on this point? And while it is ia the
business will it enlighten them on another
matter concerning which they are in the
dark: Which man is the Advertisers candi-
date for Governor, ROBBIE Or Plaisted; the
Republican or the -Greenback
nominee?

prices were obtained at an auction sale lately
of the Bushnell collection of coins and medals,
together with great number of other fancy
figures for rare speci mems. A quarter-eagle of
1886 sold for 1872, silver dollar of 1894 for $81,
a half-dime of 1895 for $21.75 a cent of 1898
for $50, and SO on. The entire sale realized
$13, 1901, and lasted three days. The highest
prices paid were $3.50 for a "Good Samaritan

S+a oe Fire

An interesting article in the New York
Tribune on "Ilusions Of The Stage" says
"Fire scenes are sometimes dangerous, but
with proper care they may be rendered COM
paratiyely safe That they are not SO hazard
Gus as is generally supposed by the uninitiated
beholder may be learned from the following
description: One Of the most familiar fire
scenes is that which occurs in the Streets OF
New York in which three-story house burns
down, the roof caving in, the shutters falling,
and the walls breaking with wonderful APP
pearance of realism. The house IS painted on
three separate pieces, the top one OF which is
swung from the flies; this constitutes the roof.
Upon the second is painted half the wall, and
it is Joined to the bottom piece III an irregular
zig-zag line The simple dropping in success
sion of these pieces to the stage produces the
falling of roof and wall The fire itself is repre-
sented by chemical red hre ara powdered iyc0-
podium used separately, the former to give
red glow the latter to represent flames. The
shutters, which are to fall are fastened to the
scene with preparation called quick match
This is made of powder, alcohol and a lamp
wick. The window frames and sashes are
made OF sheet iron They are covered with
oakum soaked in alcohol or naptha. These
sashes and frames are not fastened TO the car
vas scene at all, but are placed q short distance
behind il upon platforms The quickest pcs
sible touch of fame ignites the oakum, and,
and nothing is apparently left but the black
ened and charred wood. Steam is used to rep
resent the smoke that issues from the crannies
in the walls of the burning building; and an
occasional crash, followed by the ignition OF a
little powder to produce sudden puff of
smoke gives the spectator an idea Of falling
rafter Behind the entire scene is placed a
very large endless towel upon which is painted
mass of flames This is kept in constant up
ward motion; and, when viewed through an
ops window in the house, gives good idea of
the supposed raging furnace within; Add to
these things real fire engine on the stage,
host Of yelling supernnmeranes IN discarded
firemen's uniforms, and the spectator is easily
filled with sense of Tremendous danger. New
ertheless, the only flames upon the stage are
those arising from the burning of lycopodipm

blaze up for a second or two at a time. Fires

The Attractions of New Zealand.

New Zealand has long been spoken of as the
fairest field of English enterprise, says the st.
James Gazette. The scenery is splendid, the
climate delightful, the soil ungrudging; even
the habits of life are said to be more English
than in any other colony. To these general in
ducements to settlers, more special ones have
lately been added; and the Government Of the
colony has, with commepdable care, taken
steps to make them known. The other day we
heard of the establishment of great bathing

lions of which are to depopulate Harrogate and

member of the Alpine Club has taken two
Swiss guides with him and prospected Mount
Cook with a view to an ascent. As yet we have
reports only of the glaciers. Never had such a
moraine been seen before as the moraine of the
Tusman glacier which, after fourteen hours

There is more moraine matter on the Tusmsn

glaciers put together; and half way up the gla-
cier, is one of the finest Alpine scenes they ever
witnessed. The mountain itself, which is 49,,
900 feet high, is the most difficult one they ever

The CrOps.

Wheat crop advices continue favorable and
estimates of the yield of the principal pro-
ducing States made the total foot up 500, 000,-
coo bushels. The largest crop of wheat the
country ever produced was in 1880, which was
estimated by the Department of Agriculture
at 49S, 549, 1868 bushels on 81, 95G717 acres; the
preceding year, according to the census re-
turns, tho crop was 459479,5o5 bushels In
1881 the acreage was only slightly less than in
1880, but the yield was cut down TO $50, 290,090
bushels. Last year the wheat, upon threshing,
turned out much smaller yield per acre than
had been estimated, butt preceding year the
yield per acre was generally much above the
estimates. From Great Britain and the Con-
tiuent the conditions are somewhat unfavor-
able for the grain crop, which makes the
situation for cur farmers all the better, as they
undoubtedly will have large surplus for out
sideTs. The outlook for corn is still somewhat
dubious. and in several sections no more than
two.thirds the crop Of 1880 is expected. In
the South Western States the outlook is more
hopeful, and with a continuance of good
weather full yield may be secured.

He at once informed her that IL was impossible to
save the hand it must be amputatel. Sheroceived
this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to ta1e
ether, STIMULATING merely to hold her husbands
hand during the operation, and underwent the pain

groan. DR.. Kennedy then gave "Fayorite Remedy
