The Temperance Party.


There are, practically speaking, but three
parties in tie State,--the one great party
which has given us all the temperance legisla-
ton we ever had, with plank in its platform
in favor of submitting a prohibitory amend
rnent to the people, and with a man at its head
who has always given OF his means to forward
the temperance cause, as the Reform Club and
Good Templars Of his native town can testify
The other great party, caring nothing for tenn
peranee, with a leader, who, If he has ever
been member Of temperance organization
has proved, as one of his strong supporters re-
Gently said ''uufaithful to his VOWS" Then
there is a Prohibitory party, with grand
name, a good leader, but small following,
which comes largely from the Republican side
of the house. That this is to be an important
campaign for the temperance cause no one can
doubt, and the defeat of the Republican plat
form will be hailed by the enemies of prohib-
tioD as a victory for rum, and this contest has
not alone local interest. Ii 1t be defeat, 1T
will be a defeat which will be felt IN every
community from Bangor to San Francisco. It
will demoralize the temperance armies OF Lii
nois, and crush the hope that prohibition is
within the reach of those who have fought
against innumerable odds to organize an oppo-
sition to the whiskey interest, with all The hor-
rible circumstances which the name lmplles.
It is, then, Of vital importance that all men in
Maine who believe that intemperance is an
evil, should sink their views Of personal or
party interest and rally to the support of this
platform Every vote thus cast is a vote to
take the cup from the lips of the inebriate of
Illinois, Of New York, of California. It is
vote to close the saloons Of Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Cincinnati and New York. "As goes
Maine so goes the union" Every vote thus
cast is a vote in the interest OF right all oyer
this broad country. A vote TO reduce taxation
everywhere; to eliminate pauperism; feed the
indigent clothe the shivering children OF the
drunkard; diminish murder; empty our jails
and poorhouses and illimitably increase the
hanniness and virtue of the people.

Mercantile Eonne for Agod Men.

The committee appointed at meeting of the
association for the Ageda Mems Home, to re-
commend some house or location that would in
their Judgment, be suitable and available for
such home, after looking about the city,
have found place with ample house room
that would be easily convertible, in pleasant
location with ample grounds well adapted to
such an institution, and after submitting the
matter to the directors, they were well pleased
with tho location, and voted to solicit subscrip-
tions at once, and if the requisite amount is
subscribed, to make the purchase. The site
will be secured, and with but slight necessary
repairs, the institution will be placed in COM
mission at an early day.
It is therefore hoped that the response Will
be prompt and generous, as it no doubt Will De-
since this is one of the most commendable be-
neyoent enterprises ever started in this city
The management are more and more fully i'm
pressed with the necessity and importance OF
the needs of such home for aged men, since
no man. however well situated he msy be in
life, is exempt from the liability at some
time, through reverses, Of being thrown upon
the generosity of such an institution
The good results OF kindred institutions in
other cities, where the inmates are found to be
made up of once thrifty merchants, skilled me-
chanics, distinguished clergymen, ex-mayors OF
cities, former agents of powerful corporations,
and from most all stations Of business life, and
who here find pleasant and comfortable homes S
in the closing years Of life, have SO commend
ed these institutions to all good citizens famii-
lar with their workings, that there is a strong
growing feeling that our people should no long
or neglect to make an early provision for the
endowment of an Aged Mems Home in Port
land SO as to utilize the funds left condition
ally by the Mercantile Library Association, to
be applied therefor, when such an institution
shall have been fully organized.

On Sunday the services will be


The show OF all shows will exhibit in this
city next Monday and the papers everywhere
are loud in its praises. Every one is on tho
Qui o50e in this vicinity. Here and there one
will meet some old fossil who says that "a cir
Gus is the same old thing over and over again;
see one, and you we seen the whole Of 'em.'
Nothing new? All! but this is the first visit
that :Jumbo has made to New England, and
Jumbo is a whole show in himself without
any accessories. AS the, visitor first enters the
tent, his eyes at once rest upon Jumbo! Jumbo,
the biggest specimen of the animal kingdom
ever exhibited in Americas mass of bono
and flesh towering high above those Of his
species which under ordinary circumstances
would be considered immensel It does not re-
quire careful comparison with other ele-
plants to establish his superiority; it is not a
question of weights and measurements, it is at
once apparent. He is immense, and yet as
gentle as could be desired; and he has the in
satiable appetite of boy-a fact which af-
fords much entertainment for his youthful
visitors, who watch with great delight the
endless stream Of cakes and peanuts that dis
appears within his mouth. And in the ad-
joining enclosure is the baby elephant
Bridgeport" three months old, and one of
the most interesting 'stars' of the whole col
lection. There are twenty elephants besides
these two, and the display of other animals is
remarkably large, including splendid speci-
mems in the way of lions and lionnesses, leo
pards, tigers, bears, hyenas and other animals
usually seen in ouch collections, while ggan-
tic rhinoceros,a clumsy hippopotamus,a cage of
handsome giraffes and other rare animals are
found in the menagerie
There are three rings in the centre Of the
tent, and large one for the hippodrome
racing, the latter cireliag entiro tent. The
three inner arenas were in full blast at one
and the same time. The tumbling, the leap
ing, the wire walking, the trapeze and other
Rrial acts, the shooting of Zazel from -tbe
mouth of big cannon, the lear for me, tne
catapult act, the graceful and reckless riding
the trained stations, performing oxen and
elephants follow SO quickly, and SO many are
the acts going at the same time that ono can
hardly follow the different feats, and the only
criticism that could be made would be that
which is ready made upon cireus-there is
too much of it. The balancing on the slack
rope, the startling erial flights of the troupe OF
leapers, wrestlers, hat spinners, the feats Of
the strong men, the queer antics of the high
kickers, all help to make an exceptionally en-
tertaining programme. The ancient Roman
hippodrome to our people must be novel. The
students of ancient history and of the Bible
can see for himself the chariot, the horsemen
and chargers in their wild, furious race around
the great circle. The English jockey race is
exciting and characteristic Of old England.
There will probably be 10000 people in Port
land Monday to see Jumbo.

acapt,ro Of the caleb CUSHING. .

"Unscarred Veteran" in his "reminiscences of
the occurrences of the capture of the Caleb
Cushing, and her destruction by the rebels,
Saturday, June 27. 1868, draws quite strongly
on his Imagination when he says ''On landing
q procession was formed and with band OF
music we marched with cur prisoners through
the streets Of the city"
The prisoners taken on that occasion were
Capt. Reed and Lieut.. B Brown of the Confeder-
ate navy with six or more seamen. On the way
to the city they were landed at Fort Preble,
then under the comm and of Major Andrews.
Mayor Mcclellan, be lieying that they would
be safer in our jail, in the evening sent Mar
shal Herald and squad Of policemen to Fort
Preble with o request that they might be
transferred to Portland jail Major Andrews
declined to give them up. They were after
wards sent to one of the forts in Boston bar-
Dor and soon were exchanged. j. 7. Ell.
