Recollections of a Private.

Readers of the Belfast Journal have enjoyed
for many weeks past the "reminiscences OF army
life during the Rebellion, contributed to its
columns by private of the Twentieth Maine
Regiment The writer showed remarkable
descriptive power, possessed large fund OF
anecdote was master of vigorous
style and staked fresh sheaves from
an apparently well-gleaned field. The
sketches were SO bright in manner and
novel in material that they attracted general
attention and were widely copied into the
journals of the country. The interest they
provoked has induced the author, Private
Theodore Gerrish, Company 81, Twentieth
Maine-now the Rev. Mr.. Gerrish-to collect
them and publish in book form. The result is
handsome volume of 372 pages. bearing the
imprint of Hoyt, Fogg & Donham, and the
title Army Life: A Priyate's "reminiscences
of the War The collection of sketches is
prepared by an interesting introduction by the
Hon. Josiah II. Drummond.
The volume is of especial interest to the
Twentieth Maine, because it is a complete his
tory Of that fine regiment; and the matter OF
which it treats and the manner of treatment
make it of great interest also to every soldier;
for it is the first story of the war written by a
private, and from o private's viewpoint 1t
will be brought to the attention of our citizens
by Mr.. E. Ell. Haney of Belfast, who will pre-
sent the merits of the work more strongly than
we can in this brief and hasty notice.

Horse Car Transfers Again

To the Editor of the Press.
Now that the extension Of the Horse Car
Line has been built through Pearl and Com
mercial streets 60 one of the original termini
on India street, it is most sincerely to be
hoped that still another improvement will be
made by which passengers may be transferred
from one street line to another. There is no
reason in small city like this, that a passen.
ger should be obliged to pay two fares in order
to 90 say from the Observatory to Gov. Wash
burne's residence on Spring street. or from the
head of Vaughan street to the Island steamers
wharyes. Let transfer ticket be given at
Congress Square or Market Square SO that a
person may take the next Car that comes
along, on either street to carry him to the
point desired and it would be found to work adj
mirably. One can ride five or six miles in
Boston on q five cent ticket, and surely in our
small city two fares ought not to be demanded
to ride two miles Let us hope and expect
that the directors of this company may initiate
of their own accord such a transfer system and
thus make the movement popular, even before
the public rise up as one man and demand such
thing to be done. That's the way the High
land Street Railway in Boston does, and it is
the most popular railway in that city, and its
policy pays larger dividends to the stock.

THE DETROIT REGATTA.
Further Particulars of the Races.


Yesterdays Boston Herald speaking OF the
Detroit regatta says:
A few Of the races were good and others
scarcely deserve mention. The heats opened
auspiciously for good time, a stiff breeze dow
ing directly down the course aiding the men
very materially in putting pace on the boats.
Holmes of Pawtucket, OConnell OF fortlano,
and Yates of Chicago rowed up the river LOT
start in the first heat of senior singles, pnt as
Yates wanted perfect weather, with all couoi
tions favorable, he declined the invitation OF
the race officials to start in the shower, and
thereupon the Pawtucket and Portland scuIl-
ers were sent away to make the contest. In
one respect the result of the race was sur
prise, and gave what western men would Cali
pointer as TO the character of some OF the neats
that followed it. Holmes was early IN gettins
his boat in motion, and was three feet 10 Ine
good before O'Connell had put power into MS
first stroke. Holmes kept his advantage 70 INC
finish, timing his strokes with those OF OCon-
nell during a considerable part Of the mile and
a half but the Portland sculler proved very
clever man, and the champion had no time to
fool away anywhere on the course, keeping at
a very good pace throughout he went over
the line of buoys at the finish with clear water
showing between his she'll and O'Connelfs ana
the time keeper announced the record TO De
9m for Holmes and ON. SIS for O'Conneil.
Holmes had gone above the highest notch III

ing the performance of George w. Lee, VINO,
representing the Tilton club of Newark, on
August 81, 1873, rowed the II mile course at
Newark in the national race in 9m, IS
John Buckley of Portland j. E. Much more
Jr., of Chicago, and Joseph Lalng, OF the
Grand Trunk club of Montreal started in the
next heat of senior singles. Laing will be re-
membered as one of the oarsmen entered in
the great amateur race at Providence few
years ago. in which Holmes won the silver
vase. Today he made no delay in setting the
pace for his competitors, and very shortly ne
was we'll in front, where he remained without
making much effort, all the way down the
course After quarter of a mile Buckley
contented himself with keeping Muchmoresat

In the double scull OConnell and Buckley
of Portland had for competitors f. e. Yates

raguts, and G. Furlong and j. Donahue OF the
Nautilus club of Hamilton, Ont. The Port
land double rowed like clockwork, and made
magnificent appearance. For a mile and
quarter they led the Canadians and appeared
to be rowing within themselves; but after pass
ing the referees and press boats, they eased
up and let Furlong and Donahue beat them in

How to Make Life Worth Living

How to Make Life Worth Living.
Such was the theme of Parker Pillsbury's lect.
ure last evening delivered in the Town Hall at
Peaks Island. The lecturer based his remarks
-...a-,- iI.A ssTalSa therefore no Thought
for the morrow; what We shall eat or what ye
shall drink" which the speaker defined to
mean take thought for the morrow.
The lecture was a criticism upon dress, diet
and social life In the outset the lecturer
treated of the laws Of physical organization,
and showed that the first essential in true liv-
ing is to train the body in all manly and
healthy exercises. even if one is obliged to make
the training severe. The modern style dress
received a rebuke. Mr. Pilsbury said that in
the East Indies women distort their bodies,
the Chinese cramp their feet, while the Amer
lean women cut their bodies by tight lacing.
With the prevailing fashions in dress, and the
ideas which American society cultivate in the
young-giving them love for theatres balls
and dress, also desire for travel-the lect-
urer found fault and said they will soon bring
the parents to the verge of bankruptcy. AS a
reform in dress the lecturer advocated COM
Portable and economical garments which should
be cut and made by the ladies.
The subject of diet was discussed at some
length, and the idea advanced that as man
progressed in true knowledge all flesh will Ebe
discarded from our tables, and natures diet Of
vegetables and grains will be substituted.
Mr. Pillsbury spoke with all his accustomed
and intellectual vigor and was listened to by
an appreciative audience, including nany
from the city proper.

The morning sermon, by Rev. G. w. Bradlee
of Saccarappa, was upon ''Joy in the Lord -
Neh $40. The narrow-mindedness of Chris
tians and divisions in the church cause many
to stumble who are seeking truth. Nature, IL
all its forms, presents joy and peace. Should
Christians be morose and gloomy? The cheer
full, contented follower of the cross is reyela-
ton, inspiring men to be brave, and strong,and
stirring.
At M, Rev. E. w. Hutchinson of Fal-
mouth, delivered an earnest sermon upon
Christian growth; III Cor. 4-16. Certain
things are necessary for the growth of the sonl
l, healthful life; 2, proper nutrition; D, exer-
else of powers; 4, care. The characteristics OF
growth are: l. expansion; O. constancy; 3, hap
piness. Temporal growth ends in decay; spir-
itual growth is endless The outward man
perisheth, "but this mortal shall put on i'm
mortality"
At 7.30 2. M, Rev. W. R. Webster OF the
New York East Conference, preached an able
sermon from the text, 'The redeemed OF the
Lord shall return and come to Zion with sing
ing and with everlasting joy and gladness on
their heads. They shall obtain joy and glad
ness; sorrow and signing shall flee away
Isaiah, 51-16.
The sermon was a most scholarly and elo-
quent exposition of a beautiful text, In clos
ing, as an illustration of the power of religion
to comfort in direst need, the speaker related
thrilling personal experience.

A Singular Proceeding.

Tuesday the occupant of small yacht or
sail boat in the harbor, tried to run down two
other small yachts, one belonging in Boston,
and the other in Portland. The captains of
the two latter vessels kept out of the way OF
the,evidently drunken and pugnacious captain
and finally sought protection for their craft be-
hind q fisherman. The fisherman told the
pursuing craft to come on and they would sink
him. In the mean time the two captains APP
piled to the Revenue steamer Woodbury. for
assistance. When the captain of the pursu-
ing yacht saw this step taken he cracked on
sail and put down the harbor. Altogether it
was very singular proceeding.
