Youtnrul Reminiscences.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cakes Smith writes of the
Portland of her youth TO the Transcript from
Long Island. The '.Bell Tracy" mentioned by
her is resident here at present. Mrs. Smith
says:
comprising SO much of historic, romantic and
literary interest as our beautiful city by the
sea. Nowhere can we find more refinement of
manners, intelligence and culture. I remem-
Der the four judges-Preble, Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary to the Court OF the Netherlands a
large man of critical bent; Judge Mellen,
who used to writhe in the church under must
cal shortcoming; Judge Ware, who was the
creator of our maritime jurisprudence; and
Judge Daveis, whose refined and subtle logic
once caused Judge Melen TO rush out of court
in utter desperation. "What is the matter
who is speaking?" asked a friend. 'Daveis,
and he has spun his argument SO fine that the
thread is utterly lost, and we hear nothing but
the buzziDg OF the wheelsr Years ago Gren-
vile Mellen, son of the Judge, was Portland
his poems TO the Historical Library some years
ago His "Ode to the Eagle" is exceedingly
fine. 1t presents perfect image of the king
of birds N owing across the sky at twilight
oscar on--thou lone imperial bird
OF quenchless eye, and tireless wing
How is thy distant coming heard
AS the night breezes round thee ring.'
This should be better known than it is.
Then there was Harriet W1nsloW, whom we
used to know in our anti-slavery ministrations,
poet, also one of whose verses has been
enormously attributed to Longfellow. She is
now wife to a distinguished lawyer, Mr.. Sew
all, and lives in Roxbury, Mass. This is the
verse alluded to-:
"Why thus longing-why forever signing;
For the far Off, unattained and dim,
When the beautiful all around thee lying
Sendeth up its low, perpetual hymn?"
William Cutter was no mean versifer-and
Daniel G. Colesworthy, always imbued with
love for the beautiful in nature, spread the
fame of the city of his birth.
Charles Codman's landscapes were in their
way as fine as those of Cole; and he was an
antiquarian also. Once, under an air of great
confidence, and excessive precaution, he dives
into the depths of pocket, and produced,
wrapped in many paper coverings, small boz,
and from this brought a small coin-worn with
rust and time, on which appeared wolf and
two infants-very perfect in mint, though so
small. This was an old Roman COMA Romu-
lus and Remus 1 gazed with awe upon this
precious relic, and have often wondered what
became OF it.
Mr.. Beckett, also, an artist and humorist.
1t is to be hoped these fine painters are not
forgotten. J. T. Harris painted the portraits
of many of Portland's beautiful women
Mrs. Allen still adds to the renown of the
city-but where is Bell Tracy, Mrs. Bacon,
who in verse and prose wrote much that ought
to be collected; and was, withal, a very fine
and obliging reader.

THE SCHOOLS.

Our public schools will open OF
Monday, the 10th of September. The
corps of teachers is now full and is al
follows: Prof. A. S. Olin, Miss Nan
ME Pugh, Mr.. G. f. Merwin, Miss FL.
la Cowan, Miss Annie Keyser,> Miss
| May Ausherman, Miss Mollie White,
Miss Gertrude Christian. OF these
Miss Keyser and Miss Cowan are re-
tanned from the corps of last year
though in different positions. Prof.
Olin assumes the principalship, and
we think he will be unanimously sus.
tanned by the sentiment of the com.
munity. Miss Mamie Pugh, his frs,
assistant, is a young lady of Cotton
wood Falls. who comes with the most
fiattering endorsement from her
county superintendent, from Prof.
Olin, and from the professors of the
State University where she was edu-
Gated. We look for popular and eff
fective work in her department. MIR.
Merwin, who takes the principalship
of the intermediate department., is one
of the county examiners, and conceded
to be one of the best teachers in the
county. We think the introduction
of male teacher into this difficult de-
partment is proper innovation.
Miss May Ausherman is well known
as a most estimable young lady, of
good family, bright and ambitious.
Miss Mollie White is from our own
town. She is a teacher of extensive
and most successful experience, and
comes to us with the very highest rec
concentrations from her old home.
Miss Gertrude Christian is from Car
lyle, the daughter of Capt. J. w.
Christian, and a pleasant and attract
i've young lady. She made an excel
lent record in the Normal Institute,
and we predict that she will be a ia
vorite in the schools. Altogether we
have a well qualified, ambitious, and
united corps of teachers, and we eX-
pect the schools to be thoroughly and
well conducted. The board are con-
and will probably adopt in
the high school, the course preparatory
to the scientific department of the
State University. This furnishes a
good general education, including the
natural sciences and German and Lat
in, and then if students desire to OBJ
tain a higher education, relieves them
Of the necessitv ofentering the prepar-
ltory department of the State Uni
We hope to see many of our |
young folks take advantage of this OPP |
We should, at least like to see a |
great many of our boys and girls who
have stayed out of school for one reas-
IN and another, and have come to con-
slider their school days finished, "brace
lpr and add at least one more year of
good thorough instruction to their
stock i'm trade.

DIED,

On Sunday morning September ID,
at the residence of her son Albert,
Mrs. VIM. Jones. The deceased was
born in the state of Vermont, Septem-
Der IL, 1902, and was thus nearly 81
years of age at the time of her death.
She lived in Vermont until after her
marriage when she moved with her hus
band to the then wild and new state of
Wisconsin, remaining in that state
until 1850 when she came with her
family to Allen county, locating In
lola, where they built the house now
owned by DR.. Gillian. Shortly af-
forwards they bought and moved onto
the farm now owned by A. G. Jones.
Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Jones made her home mainly with
her son Albert. OF her six sons, five
are now living. Mrs. Jones has been
quite feeble for some time and her
death was not unexpected. The re-
mains were inferred in the lola GEN.
etery on Monday, the services, con-
Quoted by Rev. E. s. Miller, being
largely attended.

"TIM.',

T. S. Slower announces himself IN
this issue rs a candidate before the Re
publican convention, for the office of
County Treasurer. Hardly another
man in the county is better known
than "Tim" Slower or has more friends,
and he needs nothing from US by way
of introduction. The county records
for the last eight years past testify TO
his qualifications for the place he as
pires to, aud his personal prosperity
insures him a strong support from the
start. Up to this time, so far as the
convention is concerned, he has a
clear field, no other one having yet
announced himself for the place.

SILVER WEDDING

The silver wedding of Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Hawkins on last Saturday
was an exceedingly pleasant affair.
Between eleven and twelve O'Clock the
invited friends gathered in and were
received in the most courteous and
friendly manner. Some time was
spent in social intercourse, but at
! length all eyes were turned toward the
parlor table which was well loaded
with glittering silverware. 1t was
then made known that these were
presents for Mr.. and Mrs. Hawkins.
The gifts were accepted with many eX-
pressious of thanks. 1t was then sug-
gested that the matrimonial vows be
renewed and Rev. ID. Holmes was ac-
cordIngly selected as officiating men,
Der. The ceremony was quite lengthy
but was appropriate and well adapted
to the occasion. The company were next
conducted to the dining room, and
seated around a table richly spread
with everything that the appetite could
wish for, and we may truthfully say
| that at least for half an hour there was
not an idler among US. After dinner
was over we were agreeably entertain
ed until it became eXpedient for US to
return to our respective homes. Ex-
cuse the abrupt changes OF thought,
and permit us to say that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hankins are widely known and. COM
mand the high esteem and respect of
all who have formed their acquaint-
ance, and that their earnest and I'M
firing efforts in Christian work have
effected great good, and that in this
their example is truly worthy of imi-
tation. We wish them yet long and
prosperous voyage over the sea Of life.

"Andy" Flesher, clerk of McP
county and an old friend of ours, called
on us last Monday. His vile came
with him for few days' visit with hel
mother, Mrs. Adams, of Carlyle, while
he went over to Missouri the first OF
the week to look up some Of his reia-
tons.
AT its last meeting the city council
authorized the street commissioner to
construct fourteen street crossings in
various parts of the city. They also
passed a resolution notifying the X.
c. L. & s. K. railroad company that it
must enlarge the culvert Just west of
the city limits, so as to allow the free
fiowage of water, and drain the stag
nant pools along the right of way be-
tween the city and Elm creek. 1t re-
mains to be seen what will be the re-
suit of the notification.
1t took the jury about five minutes
to bring verdict of guilty against Mr..
Gleason of Humboldt for violation of
the prohibitory law, and it didn't take
the court much longer to fix the penalty
at $500 and costs The prompt verdict
in these last two cases, plainly shows
to our mind, that there is healthful
reaction in favor of enforcing the law,
and We are glad to see it. A few more
ver1icts of that nature and the saloon
men will have to put Allen in the list
Of counties in which the liquor BUSH
ness is id expensive" TO say the
least.

tions since their last visit here, among

formed silver cornet band and orches-
ira. We refer our readers to the nu-
merOus press notices from other towns
and bespeak liberal patronage for
this deserving company. Reserved
