No. 516 Congress ST.,

A wonderful Business Growth,

The history of the widely known house of
Joseph Burnett & Co. of Boston, shows a
large and fourishing industry, which has
grown from small beginnings The extensive
business of this house, which has extended to
nearly every civilized country in the world,
had its origin in what might be called an inci-
dent, or an accident, some thirty years ago.
At that time, Mr. Joseph Burnett, the founder
of the house, was doing large apothecary
business on fremont street, opposite the Bos-
ton Museum.
A lady who tlived ia France and become
accustomed to-. French methods of cookery
came into Mr. Burnett's store one day, and
asked him If he could not make a decent fla
voring Extract for her, as she found those in
common use abominable. She wanted an ex-
tract of vanilla. This was made, which pleas
ed the lady very much, and from this simple
beginning has grown business, one single
branch of which now consumes one-foufth
the entire Mexican product, which is the only
recognized best quality of Vanilla 10 the
world.
1t may be here remarked that an extract of
the Tonka, or "Snuff Beam" is largely made
and sold for Vanilla Extract though the favor
of the Tonka is no more to be compared with
the Vanilla than burdock is to a rose. Some
fifty persons are now directly employed by this
concern in the varied work of bottling, label
ing, packing and boxing their garious Flavor
ing Extracts and Toilet Preparations, all of
which are of an altogether superior nature.
Burnett's Cocaine is remarkably fine
preparation, in liquid form, OF deodorized
Cocoanut Oil, for promoting the growth of the
hair and identifying it, and it is generally ac-
knowledged to produce a finer effect than any
other hair dressing.
Burnetts Cologne is really Cologne. The
oil of lavender commonly used to make
cologne water with, costs about $1.75 pound,
while the Mitcham Oil of Lavender, used by
the Burnetts, is imported at cost of $26
pound. Everything used in the Burnett
preparations are of the very best. The spirits
used are made specially for their use, and are
the purest product of he still that can be pre-
duced. 1t is Mr.. Burnett's pride to feel that
he is giving no inferior article to the confding
public who patronize him. He has associated
with him in his business two of his sons, whom
he has brought up in the way of fair DEALING
and the spirit of pride in the production of
superior goods which he has made the system
of his life, and they will no doubt continue me
business in that way when he shall have re-
tired from its active pursuit, which will not be
in few years, for Mr.. Burnett is hale,
young looking man, at the present time.

Accidents.

A man had a narrow escape from terrible
death at the Rolling Mills, yesterday. A red
hot bar of iron had just been drawn from a
furnace, and as the men we're moving off with
it this workman got, in some manner, in the
way. Luckily he jumped little, and the red
hot bar instead OF running him through the
bowels, passed between his legs, burning his
thighs He will not probably be incapacitated
for work
Yesterday man attempted to step off train
in motion near the Maine Central station
when his coat caught in the rail and he was
whirled round directly in front of the wheels.
He would have received serious injury if

him on to the platform.

Alleged Smuggling

The PRESS yesterday morning mentioned the
arrest of L. 81. Grant by Deputy Q. s. Marshal
Marble, at Frenchman's Bay, for alleged
smuggling. 1t appears that on the 22d instant,
Special Inspector o. F. Stacy, seized the
schooner Belle, of II tons, Captain Lewis II.
Grant of Bar Harbor, with liquor on board
valued at $116 90. Captain Grant acknowl-
edged that he brought the liquors from Cam
pobello without paying duty. Grant was
brought here yesterday by United States Dep
uty Marshal Marble. He was before Commits
sioner Rand in the afternoon and pleaded
guilty. He was ordered to recognize in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the Decem-
Der term of the District Court, and failing to
do so was committed to Jail.

THE OCEAN TRAFFIC.
A speck of War in the Distance.

Yesterday we mentioned that Capt. Barclay
long known as the pert captain in Portland
for the Allan Line of ocean steamers-was
| visiting Portland.
As we understand Capt. Barclay the Long
sho emen's Society Of this city have been in
the habit of charging twenty-five cents an
hour for loading and unloading cargoes for
day work, and thirty cents per hour for night
work. This sum gave the men about So so per
day, or $S per night. These are considered ex.
eellent wages and better than most good
mechanics are able to earn, without mention
ing the hundreds and thousands of clerks and
business men. Lately the Longshoremens
Society in Portland have ordered that the
men belonging to the union shall charge thirty
cents for day and thirty-fve cents for night
work, or So for day and $3.50 for night work
1t will be impossible for the company to pay
these rates. They cannot afford it. If the
Longshoremen insist then the company will
have to import their help from Montreal and
call upon the city authorities to protect them.
Yesterday Peter Walsh, president of the
Montreal Longshoremen's Society, James
Tarone, president of the Boston Society, and
). Foley of the East Boston Society, met Mr..
Howard, president of the Portland Society, in
this city. Capt. Barclay met them aud views
were interchanged Capt Barclay assured
them that he could not agree to give the prices
demanded.
The Portland Longshoremen's Benevolent
Association decided yesterday that they will
take proper measures in the future to keep all
men from joining their association who may
seek to enter through outside influences. They
deem their demands for wages just and proper
and that they have the privilege of using pas
siye resistance in order to carry out the princ-
pies OF their resolves AS we understand it
the men claim that the prices of articles of
food, etc., have largely increased while wages
remain at the old prices.
1t is to be hoped that prudent counsels will
avail in this matter. A large sum of money is
paid out here every winter by the steamship
companies Tor work which it would be pity
to see diverted elsewhere. It is also to be
hoped that the steamship company will weigh
the situation carefully and see that they do all
that is right and proper.

An Elegant Car.


Probably the most costly and luxurious rail-
road car ever seen in Maine was examined by
PRESS reporter yesterday, at the Grand
Trunk depot upon invitation of NJ. Sydney
Stewart. 1t was Pullman sleeper, recently
built at the Pullman Companys works in De-
troit, and is one of what is known as their new
plan, No. 115. The car is 20 feet long, with
spacious private drawing-room at one end,
and smoking room at the other. The body of
of the car makes into IL open sections as
sleeper. The wood work is marvel of rich
ness and beauty. 1t is finished in solid mahog-
any, iniaid in the most artistic manner with
five different kinds of African wood. 1t is up
hostered with crimson velvet plush, and the
curtains are of the richest of Turkey. The
trimmings are OF silver. The upper berths are
arranged upon new system, whereby it is inn
possible for them to fall. The car is brilliant
ly lighted by the new Hicks s. Smith hurri-
cane lamp The drawing-room has private
toilet. The cost Of this elegant car was about
$19,500. Itwas in charge of MI. W. FL. Reed,
one of the Pullman Company's agents who had
taken it to Boston for exhibition to railroad
officials and others interested in Injurious
travelling. The car will be run on the Grand
Trunk Trunk railway anu others of the same
plan will be added from time to time

Alleged Swindlinp.

Gov. Plaisted has already had in hearing at
Augusta on requisition from New York re-
questing him to deliver into his (the hands of
the New York authorities) the person of Rufus
Rand of this city. The papers we are inform
ed, charged Mr.. Rand with buying horses
from several merchants of New York to the
amount of several thousand dollars, making
false representations TO them at the time of
purchase We understand Mr.. Rand denies
this, claiming he bought them in the regular
course of business and unfortunately failed in
business before they were paid for. Another
hearing was called for yesterday but Mr. S. G.
Strout, counsel for Mr. Rand had to go to
Lewiston and therefore the hearing was post
poned until 10 a. m. to-day. Mr.. 81. d. Had
lock will appear for the State of New York.
Gov. Plasted said yesterday he could not
grant requisition unless stronger evidence Of
criminality was brought forward than he was
at present aware of
