How Clerks Get a Rest.


Balls and parties begin in Washington
quite as late as in New York, and as most
OF the young men here are employed in the
Government offices, they have to be on
hand promptly at 9o'clock in the morning,
whether they have gone to bed at 10
o'clock or at a. One of the Department
lodges is for clerk to carry cap in his
pocket, and when he feels like sneaking
out he walks briskly along as if he were
on an official errand in some other part of
the building When he reaches the door
he puts on his cap and scuds away. Mean
while the chief of his division, wishing to
know whether he is in the building or not,
examines the peg allotted to him for his
coat aud hat. Both coat and hat are in
their places and the deluded chief rests
satisfied while the clerk has his lark on the

money that should be spent for some better
purposes, but annoying TO all non-consumer> of
the weed. No me likes to have their rooms
filled with tobacco smoke or 1loors bespattered

nuisance it is in public place: Some with Il
large piece in their mouths; others With cigars
or black clay pipes fill the air around with
| smoke. Who has not seen Chas. Dickens

of life. Think young man, before touching or
tasting this poison, of the long years of misery
it will cause, of the awful enslavement which
will surely follow its use. Remember that its
use is Il step towards other and greater vices
and the first step is always long one on the
wrong road. But children often say, my

Bucksport's Water Supply.

From Our Bucksport Correspondent.
In recent issue of the journal promised to
say something in regard to our water sup
ply. This is not Il new subject to the older
portion of our citi ems. Quite a number of
years ago grant was made to corpora-
ton by the Legislature for the bringing in
from Great Pond water supply for the
mills ON what is now called Mill Stream.
The grant included the privilege of taking
water from Jacob Bucks and Williams Ponds
also. 1t is generally known that these two
ponds can be made without very much eN-
pense tributaries to Great Pond The immense
Watershed Of these three ponds would furnish
any city with Il never failing water supply for
all purposes. Great Pond alone will hold, if
properly damned, a supply for our present
wants, but provision should be made for all flu
ture contingencies. The drouth we have just
experienced with all its interruptions of bu,-
ness, inconvcniences i'm the households, and
lack of protection in ease of fires, renews Il d :
sire that some move be made by our people in
this direction. The modern improvements
which contribute 50 largely to health and COM
fort and are being 20 generally adopted, neccss-
tate constant supply of water, without which
all these ro~ltbr blessings are but curses. In
consultation with Mr.. Parker Spotiord, our
competent civil engineer, We find him fully in
sympathy With the movement and he will eX-
eIt all his influence to bring about the desired
result. As Il prominent member of the Legis-
nature there would be no doubt of Il proper
grant for these purposes. We find also that
MIR. Fred ii. Moses is alive TO this enterprise.
The lack of water this season has been great
detriment to hi, business .ss Il florist Thomas
Swazey. Esq, who was Il city official of Lynn,
Mass, at the ii ne water vas introduced into
that place, and now one of our most influential
| citizens. will take decided interest in this af-
fair Mr.. +. b. Gardner, our local insurance
agent, says il will reduce the rate of insurance
one third, if not more. We find our insurance
| is very high; 50 burdensomc that many do not
feel able to insure. But with good supply of
would be so moderate that oH would insure.
We have Just completed reservoir at the
| corner of Oak and Bridge streets at Il cost of
| about 500. For supply it depends wholly on
| the Mill Stream Now we all know that for
! nearly two months that stream has been dry
We have two more that depend on the rain
caught from neighboring buildings. 1t is OBJ
vious that had their contents been used in the
first of the drouth they would have been use
| less in case of Il second fire in their locality.
In taking water from Great Pond we have at
| Main street 80 it. head, ON Elm street and all
others ut that elevation, from % 10 30 feet. In
| fact, every house or place of business would BE-
fully supplied throughout our village. Citi-
zcn>, investigate this subcct-giVe to it a little
| more attention, and no town in the State Will
| have Il better or more economical system OF
water works. Z.
