Albert kilgore, the engineer of the special en-
glne that collided with the freight, was regard
ed as not only very careful but very safe
man, much confidence being placed in him. He
was Il very fast runner and possessed a great
deal of nerve. All the old conductors trusted
HIM and young engineers were wont to pattern
after him. This is the first accident he had
met with during the % years he had been in the
employ of the company. Last summer Kgore
ran the fast express between Bangor and Port
land and during the past winter had been en-
glneer on Conductor Philbrooks train. The
coming summer he was to have been engineer
between Bangor and Portland on the fast train
which is to be put on between Boston and St.
John the first of June. Kilgore was a very
even runner. The death of these two engineers
Messrs. kigore and Small, who were among
the best on the road, will be severely felt by the
company as 1t will be hard to fill their places,
and impossible at present as they had perfect
knowledge of every portion of the road. Ken

Decoration Day, 1888.
Here bring your purple and gold,
Glory of color and scent.
Scarlet of tulips bold,
Buds blue as the ornament.
flushed is the sound of the fife
And the bugle piping clear:
The vivid and delicate life
In the soul of the youthful year
We bring to the quiet dead,
With gentle and tempered grief:
Ger the mounds so mute we shed
The beauty of blossom and leaf
The flashing swords that were drawn,
No rust shall their fame destroy!
Boughs rosy us riffs of dawn,
Like the blush on the cheek of JOY,
Rich fires of the gardens and meads,
We kindle these hearts above.
What splendor shall match their deeds
What sweetness can match our love;

Planting an Orchard,

The Farmers Home journal says an
orchard is expected to last through
lifetime, and therefore the most careful
attention should be settled upon it at the
starting. One of the most important
things to be considered in the location is
the situation. Low situations where
cold air collects, causing frost and mil
dew. should be avoided by all means.
An orchard should always occupy grounds
higher than the lands of the surrounding
country, if possible.
In making choice of the different fruit
trees wanted in the orchard the number
OF varieties of each should be as small as
possible. A few good kinds are better
than many kinds less certain. 1t is an
easy matter to make choice of a few
known kinds, and it is always safer to do
this than to risk investing in kinds un-
known to You, simply because some
nurServman's catalogue happens to re
commend them highly. 1t won't do to
buy everything offered for sale simply
because the vendor layishes high words
of praise upon it. The Home Journal
would therefore suggest that this point
he carefully considered, and not 10y
writing to some nurseryman away off
yonder, but 10y simply going among your
nelghbors and seeing for yourself what
kinds are treest from disease and rot;
what grows the best, ripens the best and
hangs the longest. no matter if it is an
oid klnd, or Y 4 has never been heard OF
beyond rs native place: those are the
KINDS lou want.

Maine Board OF Agriculture.

BULLETIN NO. :.
Commercial Fertilizers contain certain
fertiliziDg ingredients which give them
value. These ingredients are NHrOgeR,
Ph0sph0ric icid and Potash. In all
concentrated fertilizers. commonly known
as commercial fertilizers, the trade-value,
and the tertilZing or the agricultural
value, are dependent chiefly upon these
substances. While these substances have
not an absolutely fixed price in trade yet
the price is comparatively steady and
never takes a wide range. The values
used by the State Inspector Of Fertilizers
of Massachusetts, and at the Connecticut
and the New Jersey Experiment Stations
are intended to be the average trade
prices in the Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York markets for the year past.
These values have been adopted in the
following estimates and are as follows:
Nitrogen. cents per lb.
Phosphoric Acid soluble in water .I2l. :. !. !"

The Game Between the Dixies and For
est Citys Called in the Sixth Inning.
A fair crowd assembled at Base Ball
Park Yesterday afternoon to witness the
third game between the DiXies and For
est Citys. The indications of rain pre-
vented many from going out, or a large
crowd would undoubtedly have been pres
ent. At four O'Clock the toss was made
and won by the Dixies, who took
the field. The Forest Citys led off with two
runs. and BANKED their opponents in
the first inning. The next inning was
.sgoose egg for both mines, and in the
third inning the order of the first
was reversed, and the D1xles
brought two men across the plate
and left the Forest Citys in the field. Up to
this point the game was in the hands of the
Forest Citys, but in the fourth inning the
Dixies. by heavy batting, ran in three
scores and from that time held the field.
The game, up to The middle of the sixth in
ming was well played. When rain began to
fall it was brought to a close. The play
ing of Cash, short stop of the DiXies. was
worthy of note, the score showing SIX as
sists, no errors and fine twO-base nit
into the Outfield. The pitching OF How

Good News from Texas.

Mr.. Thomas A. Howard, of Honey
Grove, Fannin county, Texas, under date
of April 5, 1888, writes as follows:
81 have been suffering during several
years from severe illness, and a general
breaking down of my physical system,
and have tried the treatment and prescrip-
tiOns of many doctors far and near, and
travelled to the Hot Springs and other
mineral springs famous for their remedial
qualities, drinking the waters and bathing

all to no avail, as | steadily failed IN
health; and although informed by my
physicians that my ailments ana weak
nesses were the result of kidney dis
ease of a dangerous character, they
could give me nothing to cure
me. During the past two years my
sufferings at times were dreadful, and
| had the most indescribable pains in the
regions about the kidneys, the paroXysms
of which were so severe as to render 1t
impossible for me to sleep. While IN this
deplorable and discouraged condition l
was persuaded to try Hunts Remedy, and
after using less than half bottle my
great sufferings and parOXysms OF pam
were entirely relieved, and could sleep
better and longer than | had in two years
before, and although / am now ON my

The Southwestern Railroad Extension.
The proposed extension Of the South
western Railroad from Blakely, Ga. to
Columbia. Ala, will, when carried
through. open up fine country. Those
who are well posted with reference to the
route which it will follow and the terri
tory tributary TO the proposed terminus
of the road do not hesitate to say that the
extension will be a paying investment for
the Central Railroad and a valuable feeder
for tine outlay incurred.
Capt. John T. Davis and Mr.. II. ii. W ak
er. representative men from Columbia are
now i'm Savannah looking after the matter.
1t is gratifying to learn they are much en-
cOuraged bV their conference with
leading railroad men and wholesale meT-
chants here and they believe the extension
is the question Of but short time. The geo.
graphical location of the country through
which it Will pass shows it to be an eX-
ceIlent territory and a fine feeder to the
Central Railroad and Savannah, when the
short gap between Blakely and Columbia
is filled up. From reliable sources il is
learned that the country west of Columbia
and tributary to it has greatly improved
within the past few years, and the city
has assumed larger proportions. Its cot
ton trade is also increasing from year to
year. The interestS of the Central Rail-
road and Savannah, it is clearly seen,
will be greatly advanced by the opening
up of Southeastern Alabama. with41ts

timber and filling up rapidly with

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering Woman Some
thing New Under the Sun.

By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments. woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris-
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con-
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to degree which no language can express.
In the mansions of the rich and the howell of
the poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure.and without
remedy. But now the hour of her redemption
has come. She need not suffer longer, when she
