THE "CURVE" PITCHER PUT TO
SHAME.

A performance which some native
Australians gave in Philadelphia the
other day was that of throwing the boom
erang, their native weapon and imple-
ment of sport. The boomerangs consist
of crescent-shaped pieces of very hard
and heavy Australian wood, and all OF
them had sharply-rounded edges and
ends, but were Of different curves, some
being nearly straight. The average
length was about two feet, the width the
same number of inches. and their great
est thickness not more than half an inch.
Standing in the centre of the long lot,
they would grasp a boomerang by the
end, whirl il over their Leads and let II

In a straight line for about 200 feet, then
curve upward for half that distance, and
then fall away in Il directly contrary dl-
rection until it was, perhaps, 200 feet
behind the spot from which it had been
cast. curve again TO the right or left, and
tinally strike the ground almost at the
,hrowers feet, all the while spinning
round so rapidly as to look like wheel.
In the marvellous flights Of the boomer

curve pitcher are outdone thousand
fold. and the reason for the contrary
curve which it takes has always been q

ARTEMAS WARD.

Editor Democrat.
ARENAS Ward, as all your readers
know, was an Oxford County Boy. The
whole English speaking race paid him
homage while he lived, and well 1t might,
for he was the brightest of American hu-
morists. The other day read in West
esn newspaper, that his grave in Water
ford, marked 'only by an ordinary slab, is
neglected. Do the citizens Of his native
place know that such a report is abrosdG
There was talk, soon after Wards
death, OF erecting a monument to his
memory; nothing, however, was accom-
plished. Every son OF Maine who has the
soul Of man within him, has laughed at
"a. Wards" quaint fancies aud brilliant
criticisms and has felt proud OF him as n
native of the State. Notwithstanding the
fact that his memory will live forever +,
should not the people OF his native county
place some worthy testimonial upon his
grave, at least TO show the world that the
gifted humorist was not without honor III
his own lsndf
There has been talk enough. Let Us
act. propose monument 10 Charles F.
Browne. Let the citizens OF Oxford CouD-
ty become the leaders OF the project and
the press and people of Maine will assist
in carrying 1t forward to complete sue
cess. am native of Old Oxford Coun'
ty AMI am poor, but will give $40 toward
suitable monument for the grave Of
Browne. There are plenty more ready &c
do the same when once they see the work
systematically undertaken. Agltate this
matter, Mr.. Editor, and try 10 induce the
people to take active measures In the d
rection indicated. The cause is a worthy
one. BEAR.
