LEWISTON DUSTRIES.


The Lewiston journal gives several columns
of statistics relating to the manufacturing in
duStries of Lewiston and summarizes them as
follows: Nearly siXty-onc million yards of cot
ton and wooden goods were made in Lewiston
in the year 1882. This product is the largest in
the city's history. 1t is a gain of seven million
yards-or about 10 per cent.-over last years
product. But while this is the great fabric of
our business prosperity. it is important, also, to
note that Il 100000 feet of long lumber, nearly
100000 bags, 300 900 bobbin>, POO, 900 wood
en- boxes, 100000 bricks. 5000 dozen shirts
and thousands of other articles were made in
1852 by the smaller workshops of the city. We
are glad to believe that the number and import
ance of our lesser industries are increasing.
The number of our spindles has been largely
increased since one year ago. 1000 males and
$500 females are given steady employment in
the mills and shops of the city, which consume
annually 10000 tons of coal and 26,000.000
pounds of cotton. All this machinery is driven
by 30 water wheels, furnishing 5000 horse
power. besides a large number of steam engines
and water motors.

THE RETIRING COUNCIL.

The Executive Council of 1Ss1-S2, as they re-
tire from office, have the satisfaction of knowing
that they performed their duties faithfully I'M
der very difficult circumstances, and that their
course is approved by the great majority of the
people of the State. The election of Frederick
Robie, one of their number, to the office of
Governor, is the best endorsement they could
have from the people. II is something of which
they may well be proud, and especially when it
is considered that the Republican party was in
minority at the close of the campaign in 1880
and came out of the campaign of 1889 with a
majority of several thousands.
The acts of the Council formed an important
issue at the September election. The nomination
of Col. ROBBIE and the platform adopted at the
Portland State convention We're direct chal-
lenge to the fusionists to fight it out on that
line. The result proved the strength of the
Council with the people and the weakness of
Gov. Plaisted. All honor to the Executive
Council of 1SS1-S2, for its faithful and courage
Gus adherence to right. 1t deserved to be re-
membered and recognized, and we are glad that
the representative of its noble struggle is now
the Chief Executive officer of the State.

Give as the free air and sunshine are given,
Lavishly utterly, carelessly give.
Not the faint sparks of thy hearth OVERFLOW.
Not a pale bud from the June roses blowing,
Give as He gave thee who gave thee to live.
Pour out thy love like the rush of river,
Wasting its waters forever and ever,
Thro' the burnt sands that reward not the
giver,
Silent or songful thou nearest the sea.
Scatter thy life as the summer showers pour.

What if no bird .hro' the pearl rain is soaring,
What if no blossom look upward adoring,
Look to the life that was lavishei for thee.
Give, tho thy heart may be wasted and weary,
Laid on the altar all ashen and dreary,
Tho from its pulses faint miserere
Beats to thy soul the sad presage of fate;
Bind it with cords of unshrinking devotion,
Smile at the song of its restless emotion,
lis the stern hymn of Eternity's ocean,
Here, and in silence thy future await.
So the wild wind strews its perfumed caresses.
Evil and thankless the desert it blesses
Bitter the wave that its soft pinion presses,
Never it ceaseth to whisper and sing;
What1f the hard heart give thorns for thy
roses?
What if on rocks thy tired bosom reposes2
Sweetest is music with minor keyed closes,
Fairest the views that on rains will cling.
Almost the day of thy giving is over;
Ere from the grass dies the bee-haunted clio

Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from
lover.
What will thy longing avail in the grave2
Give, as the heart gives whose letters are

Life, love and hope, all thy dreams and thy
waking,
Soon Heavens river thy soul fever shaking,
Thou shalt know God and the gift that He

A Tel With a Tnmahawk.

One of the most remarkable exhibit
tons of skill ever seen in Leadville was
witnessed one afternoon recently by a
Leddvihe Chronicle reporter. The skill
of Indians in throwing the tomahawk
and shooting with the bow and arrow is
well known. The reporter, who was of
a doubling turn of mind, requested Mr..
Allen to let him see little of the In
dians' expertness. Mr.. Allen gladly
consented to the newsman's request,
and, taking the latter into the little
room where the Navajo Indians lodge,
the former told Shilo, who can speak
English, his mission. Shilo gladly con-
sented, and the reporter was requested
to stand against the wall with large
apple on the top of his hat. The news
man trembled lest he should be depriv-
ed of his scalp, and what little brains he
had been endowed with scattered on
the wall. Being treasured by Shilo that
no harm would come to him, he stood
up. but with closed eyes. With whiz
the tomahawk was thrown by Shilo's
trained arm, the apple was cut in two
and the tomahawk was lodged in the
wall. Three times in succession was
the skillful feat performed.
AtMr. Aliens request the chief Waite
ma, who is one of the party of Indians,
was called upon for an exhibition of his
skill. At first the aged Navajo declin-
ed to comply with the request. but on
Shilo's telling him that the white man
would be displeased if he did not do SO,
he picked up bow. An old hat was
placed on the reporters head, and once
more that individual was placed against
the wall as target. and as he stood
there he thought that his days were
numbered. The old chief examined the
bow carefully, and picking up an ar
row. adjusted it with quick movement,
took aim, and like flash the arrow

the wall. Six times Waitema pierced
the hat with arrows within a radius of

Hams boiled in the following man.

will cause the partaker thereofnot only
to cut, but like Oliver Twist to come
again. The preparation is a mighty
secret which we will now impart.
After being we'll cleaned in cold water
and all the exterior CRIME, salt. etc., re.
moved by scrubbing-brush, the ham
should be soaked in hot water suffi-
GENTLY long to remove the outside skin
or rind. then trimmed and placed in a
large stew pan and slowly cooked, but
not in water-and here lies the secret
the liquor to be used for the purpose
should be sweet cider. Lay in the
bottom of the vessel in which the ham
is to be cooked bunch of fresh, sweet,
new mown hay; upon this place the
ham and cover all with sweet cider !;
bring to the boiling point, then draw
the vessel to one side and let simmer
slowly but steadily until tender. When
it can be easily probed with sharp
skewer it is done. Lift it out, lay it
upon drainer and strew over the top
bread crumbs mixed with brown sugar.
Cooked in this way it will prove incom-
parably superior to ham boiled in the
usual way"
But it must be remembered that I'M
less the ham Is good one in the first
place no mode of boiling will make 1t

sousu. needed repose. Sleep refused to
visit us. The light was u delicious one;
twas warm but q slight breeze was
stirring; the sky was intensely clear, and
the stars were many and brilliant. The
stiffness was profound. Every one
around us was in slumber. Suddenly
there fell upon our ears the words:
"The tyrant's heel is on thy neck,
Maryland, my Maryland"
The voice was meZzo soprano, full,
round, and clear, and the charming
melody was sung with infinite tender
less and delicacy of shading. We list
ened almost breathless, for twas the
first time we had ever heard the song,
and when it was concluded we arose
for the purpose of ascertaining who was
the singer Wefound her in the person
of plump little negro girl of about Is
years, with q face blacker than the
smoke in Vulcan's smithy. AS BESIDE
monia 'saw Othello's visage in his
mind" sowe also saw the visage of this
girl only in the sweetness of her voice,
which was of u certainty one of the
purest vocal organs we had ever listen
ed to.
1.-The Bonnie Blue Flag" was another
of the secession songs which met with
great favor. 1t was, if we remember
Alright, written by an Irish actor by the
name of William Mccarthy, and first
sung by his sister, Marion Mccarthy,
at the Varieties Theatre, New Orleans.
The air is an old and popular Irish mel
ody, 1.-The Irish Jaunting Car" Our
people were not long in getting hold of
the song, and very soon capital an
swer was written, the first verse of
which we give:
''Ah, no, the bonnie blue flag
With one white ghastly star
Never shall float before our ranks,
To lead the brave afar,
But blend the hue of sunset
The bonnie red, white and blue
Shall fire our souls with patriot ZEAL
With hope and courage true,
XHrrah, hurrah. for Nations rights, hur-
They shall not harm our beautiful flag
Nor quench single star.
''Dixie" can scarcely be called war
song, for it was written and composed
before the rebellion had birth. But it
was sung by both armies, and though of
Southern origin, was quite as popular
at the North rs in "the land of cotton"
In bringing these few and desultory
sentences to close, we desire to eX-
press the wish that really good col
lection of the songs Of the rebellion on
both sides might be made. There is
material enough, and the enterprising
publisher who would undertake it would
be certain to put money in his purse.
