HALLOWELL.

The Methodist church was well filled Sun
day afternoons on the occasion of the Memorial
service. About 80 comrades of the G. A. r.
were in attendance. Rev. f. Martin gave an
excellent address, reviewing in brief. the
cause of The war, the uprising of the people.
the heroism aud suffering of the ''Boys in
Blue" relating instances of valor
by the men in the army and navy
the final emancipation of 1000, 900
slaves. and the close of the war; the OBJ
ject Of Memorial Day and the increasing in
terest that is taken in it. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. ID. B. Pepper and Edward
Chase. The choir sang appropriate pieces
which were well executed.
AT a match game of base ball on Saturday
after first innings the game stood % for the
Classicals and II for the Citizens.
On Monday afternoon, as Charles Gay of
Gardiner attempted to drive round Beeman's
corner in wreckless way, the top buggy was
tipped over, throwing Gay and another man
out, leaving them in the wreck of
the top of the carriage. The horse
kept on with the running gear and turned in
back of Palmer's carriage shop, where, find
ing the back door standing open, he dashed in,
running the length of the shop, and knocking
things in all directions to the great conster-
nation of Messrs. Palmer & Fuller, who were
not used to having work brought in in such a
hurried way. Palmer had his Sims badly
barked and Gay lost piece of skin from his
nose. The buggy was total wreck.

The divers are industriously at work clear
ing the bed of the river in the vicinity of
Sturgis, Lambard & Co.'S wharf, of the bowld-
ers and other distractions which have imped-
ed navigation there. The divers work from
. lighter which is anchored in the river nearly
over that portion of the river bed which is to
be operated upon. On one side of the skow
a short ladder leads down into the water, which
10 about ten feet deep.
The diver, before descending into the
water, clothes himself in water-tight armor
which consists Of q suit made Of canvas and
rubber interviewer. and covers the body up
to the neck, with the exception of the hands.
Around the neck is worn collar of copper
which is Joined to the suit by an air-tight
joint. Onto this collar and over the head is
screwed a helmet of copper which is furnished
with eye holes, covered with glass
1t is considerably larger than the head
thus leaving q space for the circulation of
The air. The air for the sustenance of the
diver enters an opening in the back of the
collar, through a rubber tube, one end of
which is connected with the opening, snd the
other with an air pump on the deck of
the lighter. The pump drives the air down
power. The helmet is furnished with a valve
for the escape of the air as fast as it is
pumped in through the tube, thus giving free
circulation Of air inside the helmet, and the
diver an abundance for his support while I'M
der water. The diver wears shoes which
weigh 81 pounds each, and band around his
body weighing 90 pounds. The total extra
weight which he carries with him into the
water is some $50 pounds. Without this
load the diver could not remain under
water for hardly an instant, as the
natural buoyant force of the liquid
would keep him at the surface. Attached to
his body is life line, which, running to the
deck of the lighter, is held by an attendant
who pays the line out or bauls the diver up
as necessary.
The diver on reaching the bottom Of the river
crawls around on his hands and knees until be
finds stone which it is necessary to remove.
II the stone is small he attaches a chain to it
and it is hoisted to the deck by means of
derrick; but if large, then explosives are
used TO break it into small pieces which can
be handled. The material employed for this
purpose is dynamite, which. being contained
in a water-tight tin case, is placed under the
stone BY the diver, who has excavated hole
to receive it. The dynamite is connected by
wires with battery on board the lighter, and
is exploded by electricity. Mr.. Samuel F.
burlington of Brunswick is the diver also
owner of the apparatus and has charge of the
operations here. Mr.. burlington and his
crew have already, during their two weeks
work, removed some 100 tons of stones from
the river bed. One of the stones weighed 35
tons. They will probably be employed here
for a month longer

An Honest Man.

We copy the following from the Port
land Transcript. the honest man being
resident of Augusta:
There is nothing like honesty-especially
when it is well rewarded. A gentleman in
this city had a hole in his pocket, through
which he lost his wallet. boy found it
and quickly returned it to the owner, refus-
ing all reward. The gentleman, unconscious
of the hole in his pocket, put the wallet into
it again, and lost it again. This time an
honest man found it. He advertised. the
owner advertised, and they met. Said the
honest man, ''If you wish to reward
me, a gold-beaded cane would be very
acceptable, as / wish to hand it down
to my children as a proof that honesty
is the best policy" The loset was DESTROYS
of rewarding the honest man but he had never
carried a gold-headed cane, he knew not the
cost of one, and his means were not large.
He made an appointment to meet the honest
man at the Preble House. At the
appointed time he found him there in
company with a representative of one
of our jewelry firms and a large assort-
ment of gold-headed canes. The loser
of the wallet trembled at the sight He ex-
planned his circumstances to the honest man.
''well. it you cannot afford to give me a
| gold he AIDED cane how much will you give
towards one?" The loser thought he could
give five dollars. Every well. | will put
ten dollars with it. and take this fifteen dol
lar. cane to hand down to my children as a
proof that honesty is the best policy The
honest man then had his name engraved
upon the head of the cane, with the words,
{" The reward of honesty He asked the
loser to have published in the papers the
statement that he had given him (the honest
IaI This the lOspr
declined to do, but the item appeared all the
same, and the honest man went home bearing
to his children the golden evidence of his
honesty.
