Many persons are bitterly opposed to
"patent medicines" and will rarely use
them at all. There is no doubt that many
are worthless, yet remedy that has stood
the test for years, like DR.. Sherman's Prick
ly Ash Bitters. and its sale and popularity
increasing every day, must have merit or it
would have disappeared long since.

From Life in the Back Woods TO Rank as
Great Artist.

[Moncure D. Conways London Letter in Cincinnati
Commercial.
One of the successful artists on the Continent
just now is David Neal of Munich. l have just
been looking at some large photographs OF his
latest pictures, and knowing well his colors,
have concluded that he is among the cleverist
artists living He was once poor boy In
Maine. drawing small designs to be engraved
in country newspapers. He made his way to
California, and was there employed for larger
illustrations. He managed to geU over to Mu-
mich, and got employed in the stained glass
factory there; his designs for windows at
tracted the attention of Plloty, who took him
into his studio, where he became an admirable
artist. He married the daughter of Count Il
forget his name) who had charge OF the Art
glass Department, and is now an important Cit
izen of Munich. One of his finest pictures is
that of Watt meditating on the kettle and dis
covering the powers Of steam. 1t was exhibit
cd in the Royal Academy in London and pur-
chased by Sir Benjamin Phillips, some time
Lord Mayor, for thousand pounds David
Meals story has been recalled to me across the
many years since I heard it by the tidings
which have reached hors Of q marvellous must
cal precocty that has appaared in Munich. 1t
is q little son OF David Meals. He is barely
nine years of age and has already composed
pieces which attracted the admiration OF
Strauss of Vienna, who is much interested in
the boys further training. The lad plays with
his TN soldiers in the intervals of performing
on the piano. have heard some of his pieces.
and imagine that since the time OF Mozart(who
had to be lifted on the piano stool to play be-
fore the Emperor) no instance OF such precoc-
ious musical genius has been known.

Railroad Notes.

Chicago adyices claim that new cause Tor
trouble has appeared, which may affect Eastern
rates. The Detroit Boat Line and the Canada
Southern Railway have put excursion tickets
on sale there good to Portland, Me. and other
points in New England at $22 the round trip
The regular round trip rate is about $52. 1t is
stated that the Grand Trunk is preparing to
make the same points by way of Toronto and
Sake or rail- The chances are that these exam
pies will be followed by other roads, which
would give the Lake Shore and New YORK,
Pennsylvania and Ohio excellent cause to
kick.
A noticeable fact in connection with the
movement of freight eastward during the week
ending Saturday last was the increased ton
mage of the Grand Trunk railway. Last week
it carried O. 159 TONS as against 5l3 tons for the
preceding week. One item of freight carried
by this line was 2.414 1868 pounds Of provisions
which is more than four times the amount car
ried last week. The increase in shipments by
this road is accounted for by the alleged fact
that a steamer has been loading for the Grand
Trunk at Montreal for Liverpool at very low
ocean rates. The company however, no mat
ter what advantage il may have had in this re-
spect on through business, has reported its bus
mess to the pool at tariff rates. The rate on
provisions from Chicago to Liverpool has been
IL cents lower via Montreal than via New YORK
Philadelphia or Baltimore. The Michigan
Central led the Pennsylvania on provision tom
mage last week. The demand for grain for in
ferior points was very light. no gram was
billed through to Liverpool. The movement
of freight eastward by all the roads was during
the week only 16, 432 tons, falling off OF Zz9i
from the previous week.

District Conventio

The Democratic District Convention to NOM

provisional district of Cumberland, York and
Sagadahoc counties will meet at Congress
Hall to-day at 10 a. m.
The Greenback District Convention to nomi-

same hour.
The Cumberland men spoken of for Con-
gress are Messrs. George f. Emery, John M.

Judge Gilbert is talked of In Ssgadahoc. In
York, Nathan Dane of Kennebunk, W. A.

mentioned.
The Greenback state committee was in ses-
sion at the United States Hotel yesterday al
ternoon and evening. Gov. Plaisted arrived
in the evening and told the delegates what
they must do. They cheerfully complied with
his command, and at his suggestion prepared
resolve denouncing "bossism" and "the
machine" 1t will be passed by the two con-
ventions to-day. Gov. Plaisted desires the
nomination of M. P. Frank, Esq, for Congress
and that gentleman will probably be nomin'
ated-though the friends of Charles Mccarthy,
having in mind the contest for membership Of
the Executive Council in 1878, will oppose
him. They think Mr.. Frank did not act in
good faith in that affair.

Death of Edwin J. whitney

Mr.. Edwin j. Whitney, for several years
collector for the PRESS, died at his home in
Gray, Tuesday night at midnight, after long
and painful illness from consumption.
Mr. Whitney was an active. energetic, capa-
BILE, and obliging man of business and made
many friends. He felt for the past three
months his disease must terminate fatally, and
only begged the doctor not to prolong his suf-
ferings. He said he was ready to go and did
not wish to lipger. He had the satisfaction
OF passing away peacefully and apparently
painlessly. He was man of happy and low
able disposition, and all who knew him were
his friends, men of affairs admired him for his
energy and skill, in business, and others were
drawn to him by his pleasing manners and
amiable disposition.
Mr.. Whitney was member OF Harmony
Lodge and Eastern Star Encampment of Odd
Fellows, and Bramhall Lodge, x. of P, and
also the Odd Fellows Mutual Relief Associa-
tions.
His funeral will place at west Cumoer-
land Friday afternoo

Is a Mans Name His own PROPERTY


We give elsewhere report of the ordinary
general meeting OF Liebig's Extract of Meat
Company, Limited, one of the most successful
companies in London, and we think we can
undoubtedly say the most successful undertak-
ing of the kind anywhere. The sale OF the
famous extract with which the companys
name is associated, is worldwide and is consid-
erably increasing. The increased sale is due
chiefly to its own merits, and to its immeasur-
able superiority over all other preparations,the
chairman stating, as far as he knew, the COM
pany never had single complaint. Seeing
the great success of Liebig's Extract, it is
not at all surprising that limitations have, for
long time, been in the market; but it is free
trade with vengeance that an English judge
should rule that any extract purporting to
have been made according to Lebig's method
might be called Liebig's extract of meat, and
that against Baron Liebig's own will. Truly
they manage these things better in France,
where the law courts uphold the exclusive
right of this company to call their preparation
"Liebig's Extract of Meat" Notwithstand-
ing the manifest unjusrness OF the law in this
country, the company has gone on and pros
pered, and, as we have said, has Worldwide
reputation for its specially. Apart from the
intrinsic merits of the extract, there is no
doubt a large proportion of the magnificent re-
suits achieved has been due to the large capital
at command the company having no less than
e4S0,oOO of paid-up capital 1t may give some
small idea of the magnitude of the company s
operations, when we state that, according to
the last report from the River Platte, the num-
Der of cattle in their possession amounted 10
Al, 400. The company are to be congratulated
for, while their shareholders are receiving
splendid returns. the extract is an undoupteo
benefit to the community of this and other
countries. -TCiyil Service Gazette.

Horse Railroad Extension.

III the Editor Of the Press:
Gents.-I find my position at the hearing
last Friday eve, on the extension OF the horse
railroad to accommodate the Island avel is
misrepresented and misunderstood by the pub
lic
desire to state that I am not and never
have been opposed to it, as have many years
advocated the increase Of its facilities and ac-
commodation to the Island and other travel.
I shall personally be as much accommodated
as any one by an extension Of facilities.
am, however, opposed to its passing through
our BEST level, business thorough fare-Com-
mercia, street-to the injury of its
business interests. There is not room
for it when the grants of the A. & st. Law
renee Portland, Saco & Portsmouth, and Port
land & Ogdensburg railroads upon it are used
and fully occupied.
At the eastern end foot of India street
twenty feet is all the space there is, from the
curbstone on the corner to the Grand Trunk
rails. out of which is to come the Portland &
Ogdensburg location, about Ii feet, thus leaving
about seven feet for horse railroad track and
the continuous heavy teaming past that
point :.
streets through Commercial street is persisted
in, it will destroy that portion of Commercial
street for all heavy transportation by teams IN
less the street is widened.
1t will certainly involve the widening or
Strengthening of Commercial street from the
angle at Higgins office on to India street This
will take nearly all of the New England hotel,
cutting diagonally through the Dyer house and
other buildings between these points, causing
an expenditure that our city finances will not
bear.
There is another inexpensive route which
will accommodate the Island and other travel
about as we'll. 1t is to extend the track down
Pearl street to the corner of Fore street, using
double end cars, avoiding turntable for bob
tails Or, make the circuit from Pearl to In.
dia street through Fore street, which would
not interfere with any business traffic. 1t is en-
tirely free of cost to the city, and what is Of
much consequence, it would not interrupt the
heavy business now established on the north
west side of Commercial street.
This Fore street route | am in favor of, and
I so expressed myself at the hearing las
| week.
| L think my friends who have misunderstood
| nv position will now fully understand that
| am in favor of railroad extension in the bes
/ place and on the best route for all interests.
| am only opposed to the use of Commercial
| street for its extension.
| j. L. FARMER.
