A SAD CASE.

Portland Press: A young lady of this
city L.tely invented table for use in
Pullman cars. She applied for a paten,
and hcr only fear was that some one
mish. nave forestalled her by some in
Ven'i1n Of their own sufficiently resem-
bling h9rs TO make her invention useless.
While awaiting results Mr.. Tucker, of
the Maine Central and Eastern roads,
who had seen the table. was so impressed
that ne expressed willingness to get it
introduced on his roads if she was sue
ee>sful. The young lady fell sick with
typhoid fever. and on Saturday, her
birthday. died. Just as she expired the
looked for patent arrived, alas too late
to be of any use to her. Perhaps it was
better that the affair should have turned
out 50, but the world which had been
hard to her, the patent would have
changed, to a smiling happy world while
she was young and able to enjoy it.

A USEFUL CONGRESSMAN.

One of the men in Congress who is
making a bright and useful record is
Nelson Ding!ey, Jr.. edito: of the Lewis
ton Journal. Although on his first term
he has already achieved a reputation for
industry and ability tina, many a veteran
in Congress nigh, envy. He does not
give his time to poker or to whisky, but
when there is work TO be done, questions
to be mastered and legislation marked
out, Mr.. Dingley is on hand and esuipp-
ed. His report on the silver coinage, in
the first session of the present Congress,
was a clean-cut aid mastery exposition
of its folly. In the presen, session he is
taking the lead in the great question OF
the revival of American shipping, and he
has just prepared a report on the subject
that is so fair and thorough that even
such pronounced Democratic free-traders
as Vest, Cox and McLane could not re-
fuse to sign it. The report is compact
and luminous piece Of work, such as an
editor who knows MS business knows
how and when TO write.-NaSsaa Tele-

MAINE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.


The subject of village improvement
associations is being talked up. Al
Win,erport and other places Hon. B. g
Northrup Of Connecticut is to lecture on
this subject. Many years ago a Maine
town had a society composed Of ladies,
whose work was in the same direction as
that Of the more recent organizations
elsewhere. The ladies of Machias raised
money by fairs and otherwise to build
sidewalks and improve the village ceme-
terry. AT Brunswick the Village In
provement Society has done an excellent
work. We noticed recently in Maine
village several slms ruthlessly destroyed
BY careless street members thing that
village improvement organizations might
easily prevent. One other reform we
wish might be introduced-the putting
up Of guide boards on country roads,
which are multiplying every year. Take
for instance the road from Lewiston to
Paris Hill. There are cross roads and
oblique roads without number, guiltless
of guide boards, many of these intersec-
tons, are far from houses, where it would
puzzle Philsdelbpis lawyer to find his
way.-Lepiston journal.

Humor In the Stomach.

Much Of the distress and sickness attribu-
ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhea and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the
stomach. Several cases. with all the char.
acteristics Of these complaints, have been
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla- Other cures
effected by this medicine are so wonderful
that the simplest statement of them affords
the best proof that it combines rare curative
agents and when once used secures the

There are sixty -four thousand home

large State. Larger than all the rest Of
New Engiand. Seventeen thousand
square acres are yet uninhabited. But
we have great advantages and all the
prospects Of great growth in wealth and
in other material interests. We have q
long line of sea coast. Thousands Of Is
lands spring up in their beauty to guard
the most extens i've and the best harbors
in the world. Our commerce is large,
We stand rated as one Of the largest com.
nercial States in this Union and we have
every advantage Of it One-third Of the
tonnage of the wooden ships Of our coun-
try were built in Maine, and they are
commanded by our own men, and largely
owned by our own capitalists.
Our rivers flow onward to the sea,
and they give US great advantages. For
in their downward course are large OPP
portunities for manufacturing and we
are already the fifteenth State in the
Union in that respect. And when
al the immense water power is
utilized there is no reason why we may
no, be the first manufacturing State in
this country. We are also standing well
in agriculture. The productions of the
north are as we'll obtained here as any
where in the country. Our people are
intelligent. There is less illiteracy in
this State than in any other State in the
Union, and this is due to our good and
substantial systems of education. Our
people are growing wealthy. Just look
at the returns from our savings banks.
notice that in 1870 there was but one
million Of dollars of assets in our savings
banks, but to-day we have over thirty
one millions.
