with great cheering. Mr.. Reed pre-
septed the business men of Portland
to Mr.. Blaine saying jocularly. that
if he attempted to present them indi-
yidualIy, it would soon be apparent
that Mr.. Blaine was better acquainted
with them than he. George Wood
man, the spokesman of the mer-
chants, then read an address to Mr..
Blaine, which was signed by over 800
business men and firms of the city.
The address, after expressing gratlii-
cation that citizen of Maine has re-
ceived the presidential nomination,
says: Although we have not been
able TO agree with you upon political
questions, we have all had confidence
in your integrity as man and your
purity and ability as a statesman
and we are united in the conviction
that should the people of the United
States ratify the choice of your po-
litical associates, you will give the
country an administration unrivaled
IN it's wise solicitude and practical
measures, for the promotion of all
our material interests and for its
painstaking care for the publication
and perfection of all departments OF
the public service"

foreign dispatches, has been q mark
ed diminution of drunkenness in
Paris. During the month of June
the average number of persons daily

On the 1st of July it declined to l04,

as 54-the smallest. number on re-
cord since the police regulations on
the subject of street drunkenness
came into force. The day of the na-

ported; but the number was 500 in

uted to keep the theatres emptier fol

The famous trotting record of

dispatch from Norton Mills says
On the evening of the End, two men, APP
parently Americans, and supposed to be
from Sherbrooke, got off the train at Lake,
VT, and proceeded to walk along the rail
road track in the direction of Norton
Mills. Later in the evening one of them
called to farm house and asked for a
nights lodging. The farmer noticed
that he was very badly bruised about the
face, had couple of black eyes and was
otherwise disfigured, and had evidently
been having pretty rough time of il
generally. He was, however, accorded
lodgings for the night and in the morn
ing, being asked where his companion
was, said he was afraid he had lost him

The popular feeling in England in
regard to the action of the House of
Lords in rejecting. the franchise bill
increases in intensity. At a liberal
demonstration in Manchester last
week John Bright made a speech
criticising the House of Lords un-
sparingly. He denounced them as a
''titled, hereditars chamber, whose
arrogance and class selfshness have
long been at enmity with all the high
er interests and instincts of the ma
ton. )" He believed the conquest by
the people would be complete, as it
had been before. They had met
with the object of compelling house
representing nobody directly to ac-
cept a bill passed by house repre-
senting millions of people. The
great Commoner spoke with all his
old-time vigor, showing that his in
terest had in nowise abated. Oppo-
sition to the peers also shows itself
| in nonconformist circles. At the an
nual meeting of the United Free
Methodist churches on Tuesday OF
last week the president, referring to
|
the political situation, said the House
of Lords throughout had lnsulted
and oppressed the nonconformists
and hindered to its utmost their well.

A successful experiment in long-dis-
lance telephoning has been made be-
tween New York and Hartford, Conn.
A metallic circuit, connected over the
wires of the Bankers and Merchants
Company, was put in service through
Philadelphia, running into the office
at New York, and completed at Hart
ford. This gave a speaking distance
of over $50 miles. The test was
very successful, every articulation
was distinctly heard, the operator in
New York pitching his voice at differ
ent modulations, and every intona-
ton was distinctly recognizable. A
general conversation relative to the
weather, politics and current events
was carried on with ease. When ;
ground test of over 600 miles Oh
loops of four wires was made, TIT
voice was as plainly heard in this in
stance as the one which preceded it.

Nh Dear Mr.. Fisher Find enclosed
contracts of parties named in my letter OF
Yesterday. The remaining contracts will
be completed as rapidly as possible, as
circumstances will permit.
enclose you part of the Congressional
Globe of April 9, containing the point to
which 1 referred at some length in my
previous letter of to-day. You will find
it of interest to read it over and see what
a narrow escape your bill made on the
last night of the session. Of course it
was my plain duty to make the ruling
when the point was once raised. If the
Arkansas men had not, however, happen
ed to come to me when at their wits end
and in despair, the bill would undoubted-
ly have been lost, or at least postponed
for year. 1 thought the point would
| interest both you and Caldwell, though
occurring before either of you engaged
in the enterprise. m esE

which you have treated me in this rail

How An American Girl Shakes Hands

saw a young lady just now shake
hands with a young man, SAYS writer
for the San Francisco Chronicle. She
gave him that ilippant member in a
perfectly limp way. He squeezed it
and shook il from the shoulder down,
without its giving evidence OF feeling.
Then she let it flop by her side. Now,
it isn't fair. If you are going to shake
hands, shake. 1t is an almost certain
sign that girl is an American if she
puts her hand in yours quite impassive
and leaves it there till you have done
with it. A man naturally Squeezes it.
His first grasp does not fully calculate
its limpncss and he thinks she may be
offended. He gives it another gentle
pressure He feels the rings sink into
the fingers. He tries third time to get
some response. She does not return
the squeeze. She does not move it.
She does not take it away. She simply
does nothing at all. She looks as if
she had forgotten he had hold of it. 1t
breaks the man all up and he drops it

he and Colonel Chapman started OIL in
two-horse buggy toward Farming
ton, where his stepmother was living
with her daughter. Mrs. Moore. They
had much difficulty in crossing the
Kickapoo' River. which was running
full of ice; but they finally made the
dangerous passage, and arrived at
Pennington in safety.
"The meeting between him and the
old lady was of most aiiectlonate ana

AS HIS OWN MOTHER
II was soon arranged that she should
return with him to Charleston, so that
they might enjoy by the way the
unrestricted and uninterrupted inter-
course which they both desired above
all things, but which they were not
likely to have where the people could
get at him. The parting between Mr..
Lincoln and his mother was very touch
inc. She embraced him with deep
emotion, and said she was sure she
would never behold him again, for she
felt that his enemies would aSsasslnate
him. He replied: No, no, mamma;
they will not do that. Trust in the
Lord, and all will be well; we will see
each other again. W
The fear expressed by his stcpmother
had been impressed upon her from the
time of his election. and it was generally
shared in by her family and ncighbors.
She never saw him again. In her
interview with Mr.. Herndon, after the
assassination, she spoke of him
with voice broken with emotion.

story "IIc was dutiful to me always.

When Mr.. Herndon rose to 90, her
eyes were filled with tears, and wiring
ing his hand as if loath to part with
one who talked so much of her beloved
Abe, she said: ''Good-by, my good
sons friend, farewell.
