Leap Year Lingo.

Al exchange wants to know "what
should we do without our glrls:" Well
my dear friend, we should put our foot
down on the commandment about COW
etousness, and make determined ef-
fort to get some other fellows girls.
A young man who had been going
with a Vermont girl for some time,
and had made her several presents,
asked her one day if she would accept
puppy. He was awful mad when
she replied that her mother had told
her, if he proposed to her, to say no.
"Margery,' said Ethelbert, as they
sat on opposite ends of the Turkish
divan, "why am like the letter @ ~
and silence fell, broken only by the
melodious cough of Margery's wa.
ranted New England throat.
"Because. DEAR" added Ethelber'
~ am useless without T."
81 though said Margery, sit was
because-Q never misunderstanding"
They spell it ''quiss" now.

Early this morning DIR. Miller sent
Lew. Dorsey out with heavy team
and sleigh, to break a road to the
hospital from the Bullion road. This
sleigh carried some provisions for the
hospital, and was followed by DIR.
Miller's team and cutter. Both got
stuck, and it was found necessary to
lead the horses to cover at the hos
pital, while the road was being SHOW
eled out. Late this afternoon the
road was final y opened.

springs this forenoon, but in going
back it go, stuck on the road in sight

and came from towns on the line OF the o.
densburg railroad, including the Lake, Stand

Centre schools.
Narragansett Lodge, No. IS, Knights of
Pythias, ACCOMPANIED by their friends to the
number of about &c., came over the Rochester
road aud took the steamer Cadet for the

panied by the Buxton cornet band F. B. Ber-
ry, leader. They were all ticketed to Green.

Real Estate Trausactiou..

On Saturday last Messrs. Chaplin & Small
completed the purchase of the entire Barbour
interest in the land adjoining their property
on Bowdoin street, and now control the entire
property to the Brown lots on Vaughan street.
This opens up series of lots, which for ex-
tended and varied scenery has probably no
equal in Portland. VIM. b. bennett, the vo-
cal music teacher, will at once commence the
erection of fine cottage on the lot adjoining
the Davis cottage, the plans for which are now
being completed. John Calvin Stevens, the
well known architect, has purchased the adj
joining lot, and will soon commence cottage
for his own Eae. Other parties are negotiating
for lots, and the entire row will doubtless be
very soon completed. 1t is the intention to
have the entire row of houses of the present
odd cottage style which, with neatly kept
grounds, will make this one of the most at
tractive streets in Portland and an additional
attraction to our widely famed Western Prom
enade

The Rlaine Recen,inu,

The reception to Mr.. Blaine this evening will
prove an event in Portland. Already he has re-
ceived like compliments from other citizens in
the State which have been remarkable for their
brilliancy and the interest they have excited
Portland has always been noted for its atten-
tions paid to distinguished men, and the fact
that an honored citizen of our State has been
singled out for the highest Office in the gift OF
the people of the country will call forth great
multitude.
1t will be borne in mind that City Hall will
be opened at 7.30 p. M, and that the recep'
ton committee will meet in Reception Hall at
the same hour. AT s o'clock the reception
will commence, and the programme we pub.
lished in yesterdays PRESS will be carried out,
Chandler Band will furnish the music and
the galleries will be reseoved for the ladies'

ing of the Temperance Convention at p m. Rev.
C. j. Clark presided. Rev. Mr.. Barbour offered
prayer
The evil effects of the liquor traffic and the RENE
dy thereof were clearly and logically stated by R.
W. Dunn of Waterville. Manufactures and com.
cree directly affected. The money goes to the
rumseller which should be paid to the grocer the
bookse Her and the furniture dealer The injury to
educational institutions is recognized by those states
who forbid the keeping of saloon within three
miles of an institution of learning. 1t destroys the
home; there is no sympathy between husband and
wife when liquor enters. The charms of home are
destroyed for those children whose fathers are
drunkards. We pay annually eight hundred mil
lion dollars for liquor. What do receive? Curses
in plenty but no blessings. The danger of moderate
drinking was exempliied. The objection that per-
sonal liberty is interfered with was met and fully
answered. One of the first principles of law is that
a man has no right to do with his own even any
thing which tends to injure another. Some say
prohibition is failure because the traffic is not an
initiated. Theft and murder are prohibited but
still men kill and steal. Shall we license theft ana
murder? License is more difficult 70 regulate than
If Maine does not carry the amendment, the in
ference will be that Maine is tired of prohibition.
1t will help other States but these are not the on
ly reasons. Constitutional law can not be changed
except by the people; statutory law is at the mercy
of legislators.
Rev. j. A. Corey, Fairfield. gave an interesting
resume of the historical basis of the prohibitory
law in Maine.
Unless the unpleasant weather continues large
attendance is expected through the remainder OF
the convention.

Gard from GEN. Neal Dow.

To the Editor Of the Press:
should not think it worth while to reply to
the article OF the Hon. Bion Bradbury in your
issue of Tuesday, on the proposed constitutions
al amendment, but for his remark that the
Maine law in our cities sis confessedly fail
ure" He is verg much mistaken in saying
that. 1t is not overstating it to say that in
Portland the volume of the liquor traffic ia
not one-twentieth of what it was before the
law. In the old rum time the trade was not
only on very large scale here, wholesale and
retail, but it was as respectable as
any other. Many of our foremost
citizens were largely engaged in it.
Now, it is not only reduced to very small pro-
portions, but is carried on upon the sly, and is
as disreputable as that of the gambling house
and brothel. The traffic fingers in our cities
only for want of some small changes in the law
as 1t now is, TIC stop up the rat-holes through
which the traffic sometimes evades its penal
ties. NEAL Dow.
THE above is only about one-third of Gen.
Dow's communication, but it is all that relates
to the only remark of Mr.. Bradbury to which
he says it is worth while to reply. TIE rest is a
repetition of the argument in support of the
prohibitory amendment, which Gen. Dow has
already made more than once in these col.
umns, SO that he will not consider it a hardship

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Prosperity of the Maine Central and the
Eastern.

The prospect is that the financial showing of
the Maine Central Railroad for the current
year will be better, SO far as the net earnings
are concerned, than for any year since the
road has been in operation, remarks Bangor
exchange. 1t is not expected that the gross
earnings per mile will be increased, but the re-
duction of operating expenses, on account of
the improved rtadbed, laid with steel rails and
other Improvements, for which large amounts
OF money have been expended, is now COM
mencing to be felt in a way that will be very
satisfactory to the stockholders The Mt.
Desert branch is adding business to the main
line, and already to such an extent that
nearly 70 per cent of the passengers for Mt.
Desert go BY the Maine Central. The public
as we'll as the stockholders of the Maine Cen
trial. appreciate the foresight of President
jackson and General Manager Tucker in add
ing this important branch to the Maine Gen.
trail system. What is true of the Maine Gen.
trail applies also to the Eastern railroad Un-
der the management OF Mr.. Tucker the in
creased facilities and reduced operating ex-
penses will result in a large increase of net
earnings Many of the large stockholders of
both the Eastern and Maine Central who were
in favor of lease to the Boston & Maine, are
now opposed to the lease, and in place of it are
in favor of consolidation of the Eastern and
Maine Central railroads.
