THE AMERICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST !. 1883.

none know but those who have gone through
it. In fact, the dislodgment along our
coast and in our mountains Of the Boarder
BY the Cottager is to-day the great summer
tragedy Of American life. Winter has trag-
edies Of its own. which may be worse but
summer has nothing like it, nothing which
imposes such strain on character and so
severely tests early training. The worst Of
1.-THE pity of it, we might SAYS that this
is not the expulsion Of the inferior by the
superior race, which is going on in SO many
parts Of the world, and which Darwin is
teaching us to look upon with equanimity.
The Boarder is often, if not generally, the
Cottager's superior in culture, in require
ments and in variety of social experience.
He does not board because he likes the food,
but simply because it enables him to live in
the midst of beautiful scenery. He eats the
farmers poor fare contentedly. because he
finds it is sufficient to maintain his sense of
natural beauty and the clearness of all his
moral perceptions unimpalred, and to brace
his nerves for the great battle with evil
which he has been carrying on in the city.
and to which he means to return after a
fortnight or a month or six weeks, as the
case may be- We fear, in fact that very
few indeed of our summer cottages contain
half so much noble endeavor and power Of
self-sacrifce as the boarding houses they
are displacing.

The T eIearaphers' Strike.

NV lOkh, july 81
4 Western Union official says that there
were only half dozen refusais OF the rail-
road operators to take Western Union busi-
ness. YESTERDAY These occurred in the VI
clnity Of New York In each case the OPP
orator had been removed and his place sup
piled immediately from the reserves in the
employ of the roads. This was pretty
fair indication of the manner in which the
order of the Executive Committee of the
Brotherhood wonld be carried out In none
of these cases was the business Of the
Western Union affected in the slightest de-
gree The offices of the company are in as
satisfactory a condition as could be desired
and there is no great change in the situa-
ton Last night the wires outside Of Chicago
were interrupted and this mishap caused de-
lay until they could be repaired. This morn
ing. a dozen wires on the northern circuit,
from this city were found out Of order.
Lnemen were sent to investigate the cause
Of the difficulty. The trouble in some cases
was remedied BY the use Of other circuits
reaching points which had been cut off, in a
roundabout way but this was only possible
in one or two instances.

Most of the farmers in this section
have now finished having on upland. Some
hay was damaged during the spell Of dull
weather about the middle Of the month, but
most of the crop has been secured 10 good
condition.
The Lake House is swarming with
boarders, as is the Dedham House, with its
weather beaten sign bearing the date Of
1874. Both are justly popular with the
public.
A. b. Hartman & Co., have just made
sale of large lot Of shingles to Bangor
parties.
Quite a number of men in town think
of working on the railroad the coming au-
tumn. 1t is noteworthy fact that the men
employed thus far have been peaceable and
industrious. About a week since an Italian
working on the road. died very suddenly
and was buried in Eastern Cemetery.
1t is expected that there will be High
school at the Town House again this fall,
with the same teacher as last year.
Some Of Dedham's sons and daughters
now residing in Minnesota, have recently

Failure Of Shaw Brothers and its eff

BosTON, July 81

Much uneasiness was felt to-day in an
ticlpation Of additional failures in the leath-
er trade, but none were announced except
that of Macomber < Greenwood The mem
bers Of the two largest firms that affect
ed by the Shaw failure this morning ex-
press hope that they will be able TO pull
through. 1t will be some days and posi-

many forms that it must be long time oe-

From talk among leather men and others II
is learned that in some quarters the failure
did not cause great surprise +. Shaw \

some time been ranked as rather below first
class BY the largest Banks, and the firm has
been obliged TO pay about eight per cent for

A Bargain in the Peters Homestead.

The rumor which was in circulation two
weeks ago that Mr. II. NJ. Hall had pur-
chased the Peters homestead. in this city,
proves incorrect and We learn that this
charming old residence is still in the mar
ket. Al the price for which it is offered, it
is an investment that would return nand-
some profit, if purchased simply as a specu-
latlon, and the reason of lis remaining I'M
sold is the fact that our business men are
very generally employing their capital in the
business in which they are engaged.
TO those seeking summer residence We
know of no such opportunity as this home
stead offers Its location is central and at
the same time is one of the most command
ing in the city. The building is large and
commodlous and the grounds around ii could
easily be converted into most beautiful pleas
ure grounds. Oar city must soon prove at
tractive to those desiring quiet summer
home, a little retired from the sea shore and
the fashionable centers which gather on the
coast.
1t now has steamboat communication with
Rockland three times per week. We are prom
Used railroad connections with Bangor b,
November next, which will extend to Sull-
van Falls within the year, and, by the way of
Lamoire, we are within less than two hours
of Bar Harbor. The distance to Union
River Bay is only three miles and the beau
ties Of this Bay fully equal, and many think
surpass, those Of Frenchman's Bay, now 50
popular.
With all these advantages of location the
old homestead offers unsurpassed attractions
to the summer resident About one hun
dred wears ago this property was purchased
by Meatiah Jordan, the first Collector of the
Frenchman's Bay district, and descended
from him to his son in-law, the late Andrew
Peters, in whose family the title still re-
mains and by some members of which it
has been occupied as residence until with
in few months.
Inquiry may be made of Charles Peters,
Esq. Of Ellsworth, from whom full informa-
ton relative to the property and terms Of
purchase can be obtained

August Stars.

There will be no event Of special inter
est in the August heavens, according TO the
astronomer of the Providence Journal
The August moon fulls on the 18th, at ten
minutes after s O'Clock. The waning moon
is in conjunction with Jupiter and Venus on
the lst, and with Jupiter for the second
time on the both. She is at her nearest
point to Mercury on the Sd. and to Uranus
on the 9th. On the 2ith she is very near
Neptune. On the 18th, she is in close con
junction with Saturn at thirty-six minutes
after one o'clock in the afternoon. Five
planets play the part Of morning stars dur
ing the month. They rise in the following
order Neptune, Saturn, Mars. Jupiter and
Venus. while they retain this order Of pre-
cedence until August closes. If Neptune
we're near enough he would now be seen ris-
Ing in the northeast about half past II
O'Clock in the evening. Saturn follows half
an hour after midnight. Mars is onl, TWEEN
" minutes later. Jupiter puts in an ap-
pearanee about quarter after 3 in the
morning, and Venus closes the list half
hour later Shortly after 4 o'clock the
planetary quartet may be seen making their
shining way among the stars. Mercury and
Uranus are evening stars.

ments which sometimes go into the
bank to be cashed have a really ridicu-
lOus appearance. On the occasion of a
recent visit, for instance, the officials
had under examination a number OF
fragments of discolored paper, none
much bigger than n sixpence, and when
put together presenting to the un-
skilled eye not the slightest resem-
blance to a note. And yet it was pref
ty confidently asserted that the paper
would be cashed. 1t is beneath the
dignity of the Bank of England to
take, or to appear to take, advantage
of accidents TO their notes, and if there
is any possibility of establishing the
identity of any one of them, it is sure
to be duly hOnOred. Even when "A
note is entirely destroyed, proper evil
dence of the fact of destruction will be
accepted and payment made. A lost
note will in some cases be paid, and
there is one occasion recorded upon
which the liberal attitude of the direct
Ors in a case of this kind involved them
in a loss of E30,000 A bank director
declared that he had lost a note for
that amount, and upon his giving an
Indemnity for the sum in the event of
the note ever turning up, the money
was paid to him. Many years after his
death an unknown person presented
the missing note. The paper was un-
deniably good, and the bank had no
alternative but to cash it, as it was
payable to bearer on demand, and as
the heirs of the bank director who had
lost it repudiated all liability, the
money could not be recovered.
