AS Mrs. Philip Fl. Brown, with her two
daughters, were riding in town from Glen
Cove, yesterday, the horses took fright at the
donkey engine on the Portland bridge, and ran
into pile of lumber upsetting the carriage.
One of the daughters was thrown some dis
lance, but Mrs. Brown and the other daughter
were thrown under the carriage. Fortunately
the driver fell on his feet and keeping firm
hold of the reins prevented the horses from
Running. The party all escaped with slight
bruises. Why is not the bridge repaired in the
spring before the summer travel is at its

The Crea, MORAL Show To-dox


There are but few, if any, in Portland who
do not know that the Barnum-London show
exhibits upon the grounds in Deering to-day
The city and surrounding country have been
so thoroughly decorated with pictorial print
ing for weeks that there can be no excuse for
people not being posted in every detail, And
the excitement is not confined TO the masses
by any means, but extends to the better
classes-to men, women and children to whom
the excitement of the arena has hitherto been
mystery and the clown myth. Jumbo is
the social subject of conversation. Children
who have feared to mount bis back are now
prepared for that distinguished honor, as living
Two years neighbors to other children who
have achieved that notoriety, their humiliation
has been complete and life not worth having.
This season Jumbo divides the honors with
the sacred white elephant, while the meDag-
erie department has been increased to proper
tons that would have teen deemed impossible
ten years ago. A study of the animal king
dom is now considered By school officials a
most valuable element of education. Know
ing this well, Mr.. Barnum extends his field of
learning by introducing his chronological Con-
gress this seasonal feature destined to draw
together not only the youth of the land, but
the educational classes generally-the great
and good OF all denominations will throDg his
exhibition. To keep pace with the increasing
attendance of the more wealthy and aristo-
cratic classes, Mr.. Barnum steadily adds to his
facilities.
We would urge upon all who desire witness
ing the gorgeous street parade this morning to
be in position early. Owing to its great length
the parads starts at an early hour, and if on
time We may expect it by 9 o'clock 1t will
probably go over the usual route.

The 9Th of July at sebaRa.

Our citizens justly feel local pride in hav-
ing good band, and no doubt are disposed to
foster and encourage it. During the "pilgrin1-
age" last week Chandler's Band received
many compliments in different places for their
excellent playing, and as they are to take a
benefit next Saturday, the 9TH, by giving an
excursion to Sebago Lake, We doubt not their
friends will see that it is a substantial one and
at the same time feel repaid by the enjoyment
of the day.

There IS strong talk among the young
democrats of this city of organizing a
Young Mems Democratic club. Efforts
are being made towards this end. A
meeting will be called in week or two
to devise ways and means, and to effect a
permanent organization This is right and
proper. 1t will be good thing for the
democratic party of this county, this
Young Mems Democratic club. Let the
club be organized as soon as possible. The
sooner the better When the Young dem
ocrats get organized, and then get down
to square work, there will be an increase
Of the democratic votes noticeable. There
are over 200 young democrats in the city
OF Rock Island. They should have a
place oil meeting where the political stu
ton can be discussed Old democratic
veterans. who have spent life time in
advocating the principles of the grand old
democratic party, can be secured at any
time to address the club. 1t will he the
means of connecting the bonds of fellow

desires to see such club organized, and

The Ghost Again.

To say that the lower end people are
stirred up about that ghost is but feebly
expressing it They declare that they have
a real sure ghost and no mistake. About
one hundred men, women and children
watched for the lady in black last night.
She was seen by large number of people.
This time she went to saloon, knocked
ON the door, but could not get in She was
again seen to go into Buford's pillow works,
so they said. She came out soon after and
went up by the glass works, and then
turned up the street again until she came
to Franklin square, and then she vanished
away. and was seen no more. The people
of the lower end are quite positive that
they have ghost. A number of them
have seen it with their own eyes.

Political.

There has been nothing new here lately
in the political field. Since the late cen
ventions the politicians have been resting
on their oars. The republicans of this
city are tolerably well satisfied with their
ticket, but think it might be improved.
The next convention to be held will be
the republican congressional convention.
Our Gest is as busy as bee laying plans
and setting up the pins. lie appears to
be confident that he will receive the nom
nation, and seems to think a nomination
is equivalent to an election. But he
should not be too sure. There is many a
slip between the cup aud the lip. He
may not even get the nomination, and he
will not if Mercer county and the Marsh
factions can helpit. Marsh's ireis stirred
up against him, and the breach cannot be
healed This is a sad, sad world All is
not gold that gHtters; nor is everybody
who cries Lord! Lord! admitted into the
kingdom of heaven.
