With all the pleasant circumstan
ces attending the oil production and IN
crease of business in Butler, it is sad to
see the number of staggering, drunken
men on our streets, Last Saturday
evening they could be seen laying up
on the pavements in sound sleep.
They are generally the poor laborers
upon the railroad now building. In
one case we heard of one of the poor
creatures being found in the parlor
room of family, where he. bad slipped
in. laid down and went to sleep. Is
there no remedy for this state of things!
Is it right or reasonable to attach all the
blame to these workmen, who, ID many
cases. will drink whenever and wher-
ever they can get it Are they not
persons whom the law forbids giving
liquor to?

Self Binders One of the great
inventions in agricultural labor
saving is the self binder of grain.
There are but few in our county as
vet, but we have heard of one being
used in Clinton twp, this harvest, by
William Harvey, Esq, and Mr..
Philip Snider They cut and bound
their wheat and rye with it and speak
of it in terms of satisfaction. It outs
and binds as it goes along, the sheaves
being well bound and all of one regu-
lar size The binding is done with
cord or rope attached to the machine,
knotted around the sheaf perfectly,
and then cut by knife also attached
to the machine. The whole machine is
called a reaper and self binder and
costs about $275 1t is certainly
worthy of the attention of all farmers.

Found Hanging.

The body of q young woman, gen.
orally known as Mrs. Eli Donaldson,
was found hanging in the woods and
dead, near billiards Mill, Washington
twp, this county, on last Thursday.
1t was found suspended from rail
placed between the forks of two trees.
AS the rail is described as heavy one,
this, with other circumstances we have
heard of, but of the truth of which we
are not advised, have led to the sus-
picion of foul dealing in the matter.
She is said to be the daughter of Thos.
Brown of Centre, or Oakland twp,
this county, and was married to Don
aldson only about six weeks ago. We
believe he has been arrested on sus-
picion.

The district of Soconusco, about
which is only small tract of territory
on the boundary line between the two
countries. The dimensions of the dis
trict are not over 100 miles in length
by an average breadth of 40 miles
The value of this piece of land is, how
ever, to be measured by its products
rather than by its mere size. The fin.
est cocoa beans in the world are those
OF Soconusco. The quality Of costly
chocolate may be estimated by the pro-
portion of these beans that enters into
its composition. While the Guayaquil
cocoa beans sell at ten to fifteen cents
pound, and those of Caracas and the
West Indies at two or three times
these prices, the Soconusco bean often
fetches dollar pound, and at times
even more. Apart, therefore, from any
mere question Of prestige or nationa
honor, it is evident that the district in
dispute has an intrinsic pecuniary value
which makes it well worth peacefa

The Raising of Thoroughbreds.

Messrs. George ID. Otis q Co. of Boston,
proprietors of Bay View Farm on the east
side of the river, are inspired with the
right ideas concerning the introduction OF
improved stock into Maine. In note to
the editor OF the Journal, after stating
that none OF their stock is for sale, they
say
We would be glad il every farmer in
Waldo county could see our stock and
perhaps thereby be induced to pay some
attention to the raising of thoroughbreds,
and by that means, as we believe, great
ly increase the profits of farming. 1t
costs less to raise a thoroughbred than a
mOngrel, and when raised the former will
bring much better price than the latter
We have Just sent to our farm six pure
bred "lorkshire" SOW pigs from the herd
of Il. T. Lombard, Esq, of sycamore"
farm, Wayland, Mass, who though he
has halt hundred breeding sows, cannot
fill his orders for pigs Why? Because
every one knows he has only thorough
breds for sale. Why can't Maine, even
Waldo Co., see the Handwriting on the
wall and realize that the best is the
cheapest and, especially for the farmer,
the most profitable We shall be glad to
see in your valuable paper, from time
10 time, such information on the subject
as will bring to the attention of our farm
els the importance of improving our live
stock, Yours truly,

A Bangor despatch to the Portland City Item
says the letter of GOV. Pasted to Major Berry
was put in type and sent through the state ac-
companied by circular in the "straight" style
denouncing Plaisted and Berry and that the
Republican state committee was furnished with
a copy of the Plaisted letter by a Portland man
who was formerly quite prominent in the
Greenback party.
The straight Greenbackers of Portland held Il
meeting Thursday evening in Reform Hall.
About forty persons Were present. The pur-
pose for which the meeting was called was to
elect delegates to the convention to be held in
Bangor MAY 30th. Considerable feeling was
manifested between those who were i'll favor of
supporting Plaisted under certain conditions
and those who will not support him under any
circumstances. A committee was appointed to
select delegates, whose names are to be present
ed for approval at subsequent meeting.

Garfield Monument Committee.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE THROUGH II
PRESS

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE THROUGH TIL
PRESS.
At the last meeting of the Society of the Army
of the Cumberland, it was proposed that under
its auspices there should be erected in the city
OF Washington a statue or monument in mem
ory of our former comrade, the late Presiden
James Abram Garfield. With that end in view
a committee was appointed by Lieutenant Gen
cra 7. II. Sheridan. president of the society
which organized and proceeded to work, and il
is with much pleasure that the committee an
nOuncc that its efforts have met with sucl
liberal response from all parts of the country
| as to warrant the assurance that the work vii
be cOnSummated.
The question now is, and to you we submit
it. shall the statue be such an one as we cai
build with the funds on hand, or will YOU com,
to our aid in SUI h a manner as to enable us tC
erect work of art i'll size, design, and work
manship in keeping with the glorious nam,
with which it will forever be associated, as wei
as an ornament to our already magnificent cap.
ital city. 1t is proposed that the work when
complete shall be no longer the property of the
society, but be formally transferred through
their Chief Magistrate to the people of the
United States TO be monument of their atfec-
ton for all time.
We therefore present to you the opportunity
to unite with lis in the work, and thereby enable
us to make the structure in every respect worthy
the name of Americas foremost people. TC
day when all hearts turn in love and grateful
remembrance to the soldiers of the Republic
and we streW their graves with flowers, that Il
feature of that day shall be the offering and So
Letting of contributions to the end set forth
But few can enjoy the privilege of placing a
flower on his grave on Decoration Day, but all
can contribute the cost of one, and thereby en-
able us to stimulate genius and exhaust art in
the endeayor to plant here statue that will
testify to men of all time the great love the
people bore him.
1t is the desire of the committee that this
work be geaesut: one in which all the people can
take part without feeling it to be tax; and it
is therefore suggested that no contribution from
any one person on that day shall exceed one
dollar.
The press and postmasters throughout the
country will receive and forward subscriptions
or, if preferable, a committee of citizens NAV
take charge of the work under such plans as
they may deem most etficaciOus. In either case
it Is desired that a complete list of subscribers
be kept, as all subscription lists, as well as
copies of papers publishing the same, are de-
sired for deposit in the cornerstone of the
statue, and will be carefully retained for that
purpose.

With its insistent sounds, too long, too long!

How. once, | hailed them as life's full delight
N0w- little moved | hear the blackbrd sing,
As blind men wake not at the sudden light.
Nay. not unmoved! But yestereve l stood
Beneath thee. throned, queen songstress, in

And for one moment heaven was the green
wood,
And the old dreams went by. too deep for
speech,
one moment it was passed; the gusty breeze
Brought laughter and rough voices from the
lane;
Night like mist, clothed round the darkening
trees
And | was with the world that mocks again.
