timely notice of the appearance of cholera
at Toulon and Marseiles. 1t might easily

A Few Reasons why the Augusta, Maine,
Edition win Outsell All Others
Ten TO One.
LIST. Because it is the authentic edition published
from Augusta. the home Of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge OF his
whole life
I'd. Because Mr.. Blaine and his friends oooperat-
ed with the author and Publishers In order that tie
work might be most complete and correct in all
3D.. Because Col Conwell is better fitted for writ
ing such q volume than any other man in America;
a his earnestness, knowledge, and ability will be
found in the volume.
4th Because in its manufacture it Is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
price that is sold for. Let one think OF work
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where you
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because our volume is pictorial biography.
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume is spendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life OF the distinguished statesman and
familiar with the of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there who knew
him then; this is intensely interesting portion of
the volume

sabrlna Merrill CoyIe.

Sabrina Merrill Coyle was born in Albany,
N. T., Dec. 4, 1907. Her family moved to
Norwalk, Conn, in her early childhood. She
was married in New York city, April 49, $780,
her husband being at that time engineer of one
of the Sound steamers They moved to Port
land in 1884. For fifty years she has been .
member OF the Chestnut Street NJ. E. Church.
Her Christianity was pre-eminently practical.
Itconsisted in carrying food and clothing to the
hungry and destitute; in visiting the sick, and
comforting the afflicted. No one can know the
extent OF her good works except the recipients
OF her bounty. In the family circle she was
wife and mother in the largest and most CON-
plete sense of the words. Her husband and
children have not only always loved her, but
they have respected and honored her as no
others could, for they have known more than
others, of her profound mother.loye, OF her
consistent piety and her never failing char
ity."
This death breaks up a married life extend
Ing over hfty-fo years. Few can realize the
dssolation caused by separation after so many
such happy and prosperous years as this couple
hsve passed together. The heartfelt sympathy
OF the whole community will follow her sur
viving partner through the remainder of his
pilgrimage. Mrs. Coyle left five children,
three sons and two daughters, ten grsnd-chil-
dren and two great-grand-children.
The funeral services will take place at her
late residence in DeeEng, this afternoon, at
2o'clock. Relatives and friends are invited

The work is progressing in relation to the
new Back Bay sewer. The men are busiy
employed in carrying out, or extending, the
thirteen sewers located on the north side of the
city from fifteen TO three hundred feet accord
ing TO the required distance, to meet the new
intercepting sewer to be built across the fats
The piling of the new intercepting sewer will
probably be completed by the close of the
winter. In connection with this matter it is
interesting to notice that City Engineer Good
win, in his annual reports, dating back to
lS76-77, has persistently called the attention of
the City Council to the habit of allowing the
night soil carts to empty private vaults, thus
poisoning the air we breathe. During the
year between 800 and 1000 private vaults were
emptied. 1t Sc ans as if this evil at least
could be corrected by the employment CT the
odorless machine, and also by putting some
power into the hands of the Board of Health
who, as at present constituted, are virtually
powerless. For the past three nights on Park
street, between 10 80 P. m. and midnight, carts
have passed, filling bedrooms where the win
doHs we're partially opened for ventilation with
their poisonous oder. With the possible visi-
tatIon of terrible epidemic it would seem ad-
vissble to have this nuisance corrected at once.

movement is on foot In reference to this
popular hotel that may possibly result in
large addition to its accommodations Large
as the Falmouth is, and abundant as are its
facilities it is yet pressed for more room to
supply the demands for winner houses for our
citizens as we'll as accommodation for the
great crowd of summer tourists. The plan I'M
der advisement is the addition to the hotel of
the building formerly occupied by the First
National Bank, which is the only ediice
separating the hotel from Plum street. With
its addition the hotel would fill the space, as
originally intended, from Union to Plum
streete The addition of the bank building
would give the hotel additional suites of rooms
and afford an opportunity for some private
dining and supper rooms, now much needed,
in the hotel proper.
The above demand has been brought about
by the superior management of the present
proprietor, Mr.. John K. Martin. Since his
advent to the proprietorship the hotel has OBJ
tanned not only a national but even a con-
tinental repute. Mr.. Cook, of the great manu-
featuring firm of Cooks Soma Of England,
himself a graduate of Oxford, member Of
anu q AieA "a great c6U0flcnC6t
said to friend of the writer, "I have travelled
all over Europe and great part of the United
States, and venture to say that of all the
houses kept on the American plan, L have
found nons more homelike, where the beds
were more comfortable, the cuisine more salts
factory, and the service better than at the
Falmouth Hctel The house is a model of
nestness and cleanliness from attic to cellar"
This is high praise but it is deserved. Mr.
Martin has exercised vigilant care in every
department and has been assisted by faithful
and diligent staff. A young man in hotel ex-
perience, comparatively unknown until the
past two years, he is nov one of the best
known hotel proprietors in the country. For
his winter boarders he enjoys many OF our best
families who prefer the hotel to the cares of
housekeeping, among them T. G. Hersey and
family, Hon. George P. Wescott and family,
Hon. F. e. Richards and family of Camden,
Hon. Joseph w. Symonds and Mrs. Symonds,
Hon. Stanley I. Pullen, Ex-Governor Perham
and family, M. and Mrs. Boothby of the
Maine Central, Judge Cleaves and Attorney
General Cleayes, and more that we could
publish if We had space. We hear that the
brilliant assemblies of last winter will prob
ably be repeated at the hotel this winter, and
that grand inauguration ball will be given by
the Democrats ON March 4, 1885.

AT the regular meeting last evening, Mr.. P.
O. Manning read paper, giving his obssrvs-
tions Of the jumping seed" or "Devil's
beans" which were sent to Mr.. Wm. FL. Pen
nell last April, and are still alive. They
came from the mountains Of the west coast of
Mexico, and resemble our beechnut in size and
shape.
Placed upon table, the seed 'iumps" or
tumbles an eighth Of an inch at time. Mr..
Manning cut away part of the nut shell and
glued piece of thin glass in its place. Then
looking inside he studied the movements OF
the little white worm which lives there. The
narrative of these movements was very inter
esting, but it is not yet certainly known how
the worm got there, what he is there for, nor
what will become of him, but Mr.. Manning
thus summarizes his remarks: The three cells
or "beaDs," grow around central stem, which
supports single seed within each cell AN
outside covering may envelop the capsule, but
it is not shown by the specimens at hand. The
same tree bears both the bean enclosing the
worm and that containing the seed, showing
that every seed vessel is not attacked. The
seed vessels, or pods, fly apart as the fruit rip
ems, allowing distribution of the seeds, but
the cells containing worms retain their perfect
shape on account of the lining of silk glued to
1t by the occupant The covering over the
opening, the hilum, Is the work of the worm,
aud consists of a membrane of gummed silk.
The blows By the worm, which give motion
to the bean are delivered against the shell by
the head aud the thorscic legs, while the worm
clings to the lining with the abdominal and
anal prolegs; in no case loosening its hold
The gathering of beams enclosing full grown
worms at the same time that the shrub is in
foTer, indicates strong probability that the
worms entered from the outside instead Of be-
ing Matched within the CELL

The following letter from the Rev. A. H..
WRIGHT, Pastor of st. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case
and from actual knowledge OF the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it systemati-
cally and perseveringly, am prepared to add
my testimony to its great value as a simple
safe and agreeable means Of physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t win stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, bat will simply add that if persons
OF ssdentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time to take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use With perse-
veraDce ard regularity under Mr.. Gauhert's
directions and cautions, I am satisfied they
Will lind the same cause / have, to prize and
praise its excellence
