Validity OF Printed Wills.

In making his will, the late Augustus
G. Rand saved some labor in writing by
using one of the printed blanks espe-
cially prepared for that purpose. The
prosp ect now is that the saving will
prove an expensive one. The question
is to be argued in court, whether the
testator adopted the printed matter in
the blank as his handwriting. II he
could and did, the will stands; if he
could not, or did not, it will be set aside,
and the law will divide an estate valued
at $82, ,032.25. The law provides that
any will in the handwriting of the tes-
tator is an Geographic will. The will in
question was in the handwriting of the
testator, except the portions which
were printed But there were no wit
nesses, and the printed words interiect
themselves into the body of the will in
a way to afford technical objection TO
the will being considered in the testa-
tors handwriting. The printed blank
saved the testator some labor, but his
heirs will be fortunate if they do not
have to pay a round price for the saving.

The CARNIVAL BALL.
FROM THE SPANISH.


A brilliant crowd of all the rank and
fashion of Madrid, from royalty down,
filled the splendid rooms. The women
closely masked; the men, generally,
undisguised, save by their fantastic
and gorgeous costumes. Some, howev-
er, under the impenetrable mystery of
mask and domino, lowered about, and
whispered clever or cruel things into
startled ears, seeming to know every
one, with all the lines of social in
trigue, while they themselves remained
unknown.
My friend Prince Carlos and | took
up mastery position at the poor of the
grand salon, and amused ourselves by
guesses and conjectures on the dazzling
stream of humanity that floated by.
Duly we appreciated the snow-white
arms glittering with jewels, the superb
hair, the soft, caressing, undulating
grace of Spanish movement; but the face
still remained mystery, masked and
inscrutable.
However, we had faith in the invisi-
bic from the beauty of the visible, and
were even quite prepared to fall in love
on the evidence vouchsafed; for youth
has infinite trust and hope, and pas
sionate enthusiasm for the mystic and
unknown.
A magnificent Circassian, with hair
sweeping the ground, and brow bound
with an antique tillet of gold coins, soon
captivated the susceptible heart OF
Prince Carlos, and he was speedily led
away bond-slave To the naughty sui
tana.
While but how can l describe the
vision Of beauty that dazed my senses
and slew my reason utterlyp
Through the dense crowd, which
parted as she advanced, leaving path
way clear as if for some regal progress,
came masked lady. tall, slight, ele-
giant; gliding on with balanced move
ment, as if she walked to music. BY
her side was cavalier, also masked; but,
from the orders he wore, one could see
he was of royal rank.
The costume of the radiant being he
escorted seemed meant to represent The
DdWn. Over the long trailing robe OF
rose-colored satin embroidered in silver
fell veil of silver gauze in soft, cloud
like, glittering folds, through which
flashed, like rays and arrows of fire, q
superb zone of rubies and diamonds
A diadem of the same gems, like points
OF flame, encircled her brow, and

RAIN IN SUMMER.

IA SELECTION FROM LoNGFELLow's POEMS
How beautiful is the rainl
After the dust and heat,
in the broad and fiery street,
in the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the ranI
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hootsl
How IL glshcs and struggles out
From the throat of the overfiowing spouti
Across the window pane
1t pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like q river down the gutter rOars
The rain the welcome rainl
The sick man from his ch-snber looks
At the twisted brooks;
He can feel the cool
Breath of each little pool;
His fevercd brain
Grows calm again,
And he breathes Il blessing on the rain.
From the ncighboring school
Come the boys,
With more than their wonted noise
And COmmOtiOn;
And down the wet streets
Sail their mimic fleets.
Till the trcachcrOus pool
lngulfs them in its whirling
And turbulent ocean.
In the country, on every side,
Where far and wide,
Like leopard s tawny and spotted hide,
Stretches the plain,
To the dry grass and the drier grain
How welcome is the rainl
In the furrowed land
The toilsome and patient oxen stand;
Lifting the aforementioned head,
With their dilated nostrils spread,
They silently inhae
The cloVer-sceuted gale,
And the vapOrs that arise
From the wcll-watered and smoking soil
For this rest in the furrow after toll
Their large and lustrous eyes
Seem to thank the Lord
More than mans spoken word.
Near at hand
From under the sheltering trees,
The farmer sees
His pastures, and his fields of grain,
AS they bend their tops
To the numbcrless beating drops
Of the inceSSant rain.
He counts IL as no sin
That he sees therein
Only his own thrift and gain.
These, and far more than these,
The poet seesl
He can behold
AquariuS old
Walking the fcnceless fields of air;
And from each ample fold
OF the clouds about him rolled
Scattering everywhere
The shOwery rain,
AS the farmer scatters his grain.
He can behold
Things manifold
That have not yet been wholly told
Have not been wholly sung nor said.
For his thought, that never stops,
Follows the water-dropS
Down to the graves of the dead,
Down through chasms and gulfs profound,
To the dreary fountain-head
OF lakes and rivers under ground;
And sees them, when the rain is done,
On the bridge of colors seven
Climbing up once more to heaven,
Opposite the setting sun.
Thus the Seer
With vision clear,
Sees forms appear and disappear
In the perpetual round of strange,
Mysterious change,
From birth TO death, from death to birth,
From earth to heaven, from heaven 10 eartl
Till glimpSes more sublime
OF things, unseen before,
Unto his wondering eyes reveal
The Universe, as an immeasurable wheel
Turning foreVermore
In the rapid and rushing river of Time.

Many eyes have been ruined by
opening them in cold water. This has
a tendency to harden and thicken the
delicate covering of the eye. Nothing
stronger than lukewarm water should
ever be applied to the eye, and this only
when the eye is closed. The lukewarm
water is soothing, and cools more rapid
ly than cold water N. Y, Examiner.

PORTLAND AND MONTREAL.
Visit of Canadian Journalists.

Within few days arrangements have been
perfected between the Portland & Ogdensburg,
Passumsic and South Eastern division of Mon
treal railways, whereby a through train, is run
daily, without change of cars, made up of
comfortable passenger coaches, observation
cars for the White Mountain region, and Pull
man palace cars.
By invitation of Mr.. G. A. Foye, passenger
agent for the P. & O., representatives of the
PRESS and Argus, Col. ellison, of the Falmouth
Hotel, and others, left this city yesterday morn
ing, to meet party of Montreal journalists,
who we're to ride over the route by special in
vitation Of the manager of the Eastern Divi-
sion. Superintendent Hamilton was also one
of the Portland party, and accompanied them
to the place of meeting They tarried briefly
at the Fabyan House for dinner, and then went
on to st. Johnsbury to meet their friends from
Canada, arriving there at $40.
The Montreal people had arrived, and but
little time was lost in changing seats for the
homeward bound Portland train. The gentle-
men of the Montreal press were Messrs. r. G.
Smith, james Macfarlane, Witness; FL. j. Lo
gan, STAR George Wallace, Associated Press;
1. McKimm, Mail; Chas. MARCEL Gazette; w.
j. Jarvis, Herald; A. Lionais, Le Monde; A
Gelinos, La Minerve.
They were accompanied by S. e. McKinnon,
Assistant General NJ anager of the S. E. di-
vision; M, P. Lowering, Jr., General Passen-
ger Agent Of tho Passumsic, who proceeded
eastward with the party as FAR as Upper Bart
lett, N. Fl.
The train was considerably detained by
waiting connections, but when they were fully
in the hands of the P. & o. people splendid
running was made and nearly fifty minutes of
lost time was made up with ease.
OF the ride through the White Mountain
Notch the Montreal journalists, to nearly all of
whom it was new and thrilling sensation,
spoke in terms of astonishment and unbounded
satisfaction. 1t was delicious surprise for
them and one that they will remember and
viyidly describe to the people Canada.
The train reached Portland at 845, and the
whole party were promptly conveyed to the
Falmouth Hotel by Col. ellison, who had
thoughtfully arranged by telegraph for cosy
accommodation.
They were soon seated to a sumptuous sup
per which the long journey and keen noun
tain air made especially welcome.
Mr.. Jarvis, OF Montreal, at the close of the
repast, expressed for himself and his confreres
their great satisfaction, to which COL ellison
appropriately responded. Subsequently, Mr..
Foye responded to toast for the P. & o. rail-
road, and Mr.. E. s. Osgood to one for the press
of Portland. Felicitous remarks were made
by several otherlgentlemen, and Mr.. McKimm
favored the company with song. The Presi-
dent of the Unitsd States was duly honored,
as was also Queen Victoria.
1t is proposed to take the Montrealers to a
sho rt sail in Casco Bay this morning, and to
Old Orchard Beach in the afternoon. To-mor-
row, those who may desire will be driven for a
view of the broad Atlantic at the Ocean House.

Trouble with Striking Freight Handlers
NEW YORK, July constant outbreaks are
occurring among the striking freight handlers
and new men employed in their places. This
forenoon some of the Italians employed on the
Erie dock, while coming to their work were
attacked, and one Of them badly cut with
stones. A man, supposed to be one of his as
sailants, was arrested. An old man, for many
years an employe of the company, was assault
ed, and obliged to take refuge in the Cham
bers street ferry house and summon the police
before he could reach the pier. Four of the
old men resumed work at the New York Cen
tral & Hudson River depot this morning, at
the old rates. The police do not like the ap-
pearance of things, and fear great deal of
trouble next week. The condition of affairs
at the receiving stations is about the same.
Very little freight is being received, and but
little shipped. All the docks are crowded with
freight, which is being slowly handled.
Managers of Iron Mills Signing the Scale
>PIrrsBURG, July 7.-Intelligence was reeeiv-
ed at the amalgamated headquarters this af-
ternoon, that the managers of the pudding
mill at Alikanna, Ohio, had signed the Pitts
burg scale and would start up at once

Boston, Mass, July 7.-Longshoremen en-
ployed at the wharf of the Baltimore and Nor
folk Steamship Compay who demanded 40
cents per hour for night work, resumed work
tonight, the company having agreed to these
terms while the steamer now in port is being
loaded The men do not belong to the union
and the latter will take no action in the mat
ter as its members now receive the pay men,

The State Prison Trouble.

lQ0 0IdbG EIl5O1 4IO0p10'
BOSTON, July THE inmates at the Con-
cord state prison continue obdurate though
exhaustion has produced asullen quiet on the
part of nearly all, Two more men have been
placed in chains since the last report. Now
about fifty are thus confined. The
prisoners are restricted to one ration day of a
liberal slice of white bread with water. No
work is done in the prison Shops which have
been closed four days. Some OF the conyicts
in chains have again notified the Warden that
they are ready to compromise if he will allow
them two hours recreation in the prison yards,
but the overture was rejected. A number of
contractors have held private interview with
Gov. Long on matters relating to the prison
discipline.
All the prisoners at the Concord State Pris-
on are still on bread and water diet. Fifty
or sixty of the ringleaders, who are the most
vicious characters in the prison, are under
more severe discipline. There is no apparent
dispostionlamong those to obey orders and they
openly declare their intention of killing the
Warden On the first opportunity Warden
Earle thinks the rebellion may continue for a
long time, but when the end comes he intends
to address the men in the chapel and let them
know what is to be expected of them in the
future. Some of the more refractory ones say
the Warden shall never again make an address
in the chapel and live to tell it.
