The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1883-10-25

The Argus, with its usual enterprise, has
discovered in Portland a young man who
thinks he is the long lost Charlie Ross.
The Argus describes him as tall and slim,
with rather good looking face, hair dark
brown, with slight tendency to curl, fine
forehead, well arched eyebrows and intelli-
gent looking eyes, small dark moustache on
his lip. He thinks he remembers living in a
big house and being carried off by two men
with horse and carriage. For three or four
years after he was stolen he says he was
shut up in a dark room In Winterport in
this State, that then he was put on board a
vessel and sent to Brazil under the charge
of Jesse James, whom he describes as
large man, with big black monstache and
chin whiskers; after he reached Brazil he
ran away from James and came to this coun-
try, and has since been at sea most of the
time In the capacity of cook. 1t was on the
voyage to Brazil that he first learned that he
had been stolen. He confided to the Argus
reporter that he recently came to Portland
from Boston to meet a shipmate, but not
uuulnS ulu COncluueQ TO remain neie until
he had earned sufficient money TO reach
Philadelphia, where he proposes to intro.
dnce himself to Mr.. Ross as his long lost
son. Strangely enough the Argus reporter
forgot to inquire why he had not visited Mr..
Ross before, during all the time he has been
free to go where he liked. But perhaps he
did not have any store clothes, and feared
that his sailors garb might too effectually
disguise him. He has got work In store
now aud he seems to think he will accumu-
late money enough to 60 to Philadelphia
about next Spring if he does not have any
more calls to the East to meet shpmates
Meanwhile he intends to attend an evening
school this winter to learn to read, write
and cipher, remarking wisely, as the Argus
says, that "a young man who cannot do
those things isn't of much account to him
self or anybody else" The melancholy
feature of the case is that the Joyous meet
ing between father and son is to be delayed
SO long.

The first choice of more than half the
Democratic members of the Ohio legisla-
ture for United States Senator is said to be
Pendleton. Notwithstanding this fact his
election is not predicted with any great de-
gree of confidence The average Ohio Dem
ocrat does not allow himself to fall a victim
to his first impulses. He has been taught
by recent performances of Ohio Democratic
leaders that it pays to restrain first impulses
and wait for bids which are pretty sure to
come. 1t is for this reason that Pendeton's
friends are not confident. If they knew
just how much money Mclean and Book
walter were willing to spend to beat him
and were certain they would do a little
better they would feel pretty sure of the
election of their favorite. But uncertainty
on this point renders them distrustful.

Persepolis.
FRANCES L. MACE.

Here is The royalty of ruin naught
Ut latter pomp the desert stiffness mars:
Alone these columns face the fiery sum-
Alone they watch beneath the midnight stars
Forests have sprung to life in colder chimes.
Grown staiwart, nourished many savage brood
Klpened to green age, fallen to decay,
Since this gray grove of marble voiceless stood.
Not voceless onse. when. like a rainbow woos
Yelling the azure of the Persian sky,
Curta ms of crimson, violet and gold
In folds of priceless texture hung on hight
And what have sun and shadow left to us?
What glori' us picture in this marble frame
Ever, as soundless centuries roll by,
Gives this lone mount its proudest, dearest fame?
The sculptured legend on yon polished cliff
has lost its meaning. Persia, gray and old,
Upon her bed of roses sleeps away
The ages, all her tales of triumph told
But here queen Esther stood; and still the World
In vision rapt, beholds that peerless face
When, with a smile which won throne she gave
Joy to her king and freedom to her race.

The church quarrel at Newton, N. j.,
which has just eliminated in the unique
outrage of tarring and feathering the organ
began ten years ago and had its origin in a
dispute over the location of the church.
The town is divided " stream and the res
idents on one side are known as East-siders,
and those on the o-her as West-siders. 1t
was agreed that the church should be located
on the side where the most money was raised.
The West-siders raised the most, fraudulent
ly the East-siders said, and secured the loca-
ton of the church. Then trouble arose about
the organist who was an East-sider, and the
West-siders succeeded finally in ousting her
BY circulating scandalous stories about her,
and put in an organist of their own. When
the latter went to the church on Sunday he
found the organ coated with tar and feath-
ers. Of course the West-siders charge that
the East-siders did it and threaten to revenge
themselves by seeding and building new
church, thus leaving the unpleasant work
of cleaning the organ to the East-siders.

full flock must be having pleasant time of

Letter. Writing IN Dlfrorent Countries.

Turning to Mr.. ,Fawcett's English
report for the year ending March last,
we find the usual narrative Of steady
development. The circulation of let
ters has increased at about the same
ratio as the population; that of postal.
cards, as was the case last year also,
rather more rapidly. The total mum
ber of letters delivered during the year
exceeded 1880, ,000,0 900, while the mum.
ber Of postal-cards was IA 100000. It
Is interesting, as bearing upon the state
Of education Of the country and tho
efficiency Of the postal service, to com
pare the mum ber of letters per head of
the population now sent through the
post on the one hand with the number
sent in former years; and, on the other
with that circulating in foreign coun-
tries. In 1889, the year before the in
PRODUCTION Of the penny post, 3 letters
we're sent per head. In the following
year the number moro than doubled |:
III 1873 it had risen to 20, and it now
stands at 81. Comparing the different
divisions Of the United Kingdom, Eng.
land is far in adYssnce, the average
number being there, Al, in Scotland 81 .
and in Ireland lf!SS In Germany, on
the other hand, where the postal sys-
tom Is Ill many respects superior to our
own, and where education is generally
considered to be more widely diffused.
but where the population is thinly scat
tered our extensive districts, the aver
age number Of letters per head is, &C
cording to the best returns available.
only l3 while in France the number is
10. When we turn to kilograms we do
not find the same evidence that the
present system reaches the mass Of
people. The number of messages sent
is only 81 100000 and the increase was
a little more than third Of that of
the previous year. The proportion Of
kilograms to letters Is not stated in the
present report, but last year it was put
at to "a, while in the case Of France
it was l to 90; in Belgium, 1 to "a; in
Holland, l to %; and in Switzerland, |
to %. Bearing in mind the much lar
ger correspondence Of this country, as
indicated by the figures we have Just
now quoted, the small Use Of the tele-
graph here, as compared with the
Continental countries, shows that the
serY ice is OF a far less popular charac-
ter. tbs to be hoped that the promised
reduction Of the minimum charge to
3D., to which Mr.. Fawcett alludes, will
redress this anomaly i'll the postal sys-
tenn.

Travelling I'm n Dream M.

A remarkable dream was told US by
o former Well-known citizen now de-
ceased. We met him on a Sunday
morning standing Oh bridge gazing
down into the water apparently lost in
thought. We approached, and putting
hand on his shoulder, remarked: "a
penny for your thoughts" He looked
up and answered, "Do you think our
spirit can leave the body and travel
about the country seeing strange things
and places as they actually eXist?n I
answered no. He then went on and
narrated the following remarkable
dream: II had been thinking during
the day about going over to Rodman
Furnace. So that night I dreamed
started to go over, taking a near cut
through gap in the mountain over a
road and through a part Of the county
had never travelled or seen before. In
my dream l passed over the breast of
the reservoir, travelled along the foot
OF the mountain up to the old Kephart
pottery, took drink out Of the spring
at tho end Of the old log house, was sot
upon by spotted dog, but went safely
on, struck the gap III the mountain,
travelled the path to the top and seeing All
old coal hearth stepped on to it to take
a view Of the valley below. A big
stump stood OH the opposite side Of tlo
coal hearth, and near the stump were
eleven wild turkeys scratching among
tho leaves. The turkeys took light and
soon we're g6ne;I woke up and found
my journey was but a dream. Three
days later concluded to make tho
trip, and remembering the dream
concluded to follow the same road, but
imagine my surprise when / found
everything just as had seen it in my
dream and the road rs familiar as it
could be had been over it before.
The same old log house and spring, tho
same spotted dog disputed my passage.
and Oh reaching tho summit Of the
mountain tho same old coal hearth.
the same old stump, and eleven wild
turkeys started up and flew away.
From that on to Kodman all the way
was strange, no single object that had
ever seen before" From this the
dreamer had deduced the theory that
the spirits actually leave the body TO
travel around at night seeing things
and places as they actually are.

Dog and Snake.

"The water mOccasin Is dead" said
Luclen Alexander, the well-known
druggist and snake fancier in Detroit.
ut died, and wouldn't have taken
the whole Tenth ward with the school
trusteeship thrown in for it,,
"What killed it?" asked the repor-
ter, to whom Lucien was pouring out
his,grief.
HE was scalded to death. had the
moccasin and a water dog in the same
jar together, but somehow or other they
couldn't get along with each other.
They were continually fighting over the
food gave them, and yesterday they
concluded to settle their differeuces for.
| ever. They spared around In the
water for awhile, neither one seeming
to nave the advantage, but. finally the
water dog executed a flank movement
on the moccasin and swallowed about
three inches Of his tail and body. In.
stead OF the moccasin trying to free
himself he laid perfectly quiet and COM
menced pumping himself full Of wind
like bellows. AS he swelled up the
water dog backed off, but it was too
late. 1t was like pulling a boot off a
swollen foot. The moccasin kept on
pumping and the water dog continued
to expand. AS he spread out you could
hear his ribs crack, and l expected
every moment to see him fly into u
thousand pieces, but suddenly the swell
ling ceased, for the moccasin had gone
the full length Of his expansive powers,
and he commenced to contract. Re-
duccd to his ordinary size tho water
dog lost no time in slipping off, but he
was so weak from the terrible strain he
had received that for a moment or two
.le was powerlG';S. The moccasin took
advantage Of this, and, turning Oh the
dog, swallowed him whole. Then fol-
lowed one Of the most remarkable oc-
currenceS ever witnessed. Tho dog.
evidently scared almost to death, be-
gan galloping back and forth the full
length OF the moccaSin. BY the way
ing ridges Oh the snake every move
ment OF the dog could be told. Back
and forth he went until the friction in
slde or the snake must have been ter
rlDle, for the water began to get warm
from the heat OF the moccasn's body.
Every time the dog would gallop to-
ward the head Of tho snake the snake
would close its mouth, causing the dog
TO turn and run away. This perform
ance was kept up for fully an hour. dnr-
ing which time the water grew boiling
hot, and the whole skin peeled off the
snake. Then the flesh got soft, and
the first thing L knew he went all to
pieces like u chunk of soft soap in a
wash basin. The dog soon shook of
the remnants of the snake which ad-
hered to HIM, but he, like the mocca-
sin, was scalded to death also. You
can see that grease on the top of that
that jar OF waJer2 Well, that's all that
was left Of my moccasin and water-dog.
