Piaisted'S Perfidy.

The true story of the Madigan circular is out
at last, and shows that Mr.. Blaine had nothing
to do with it, and Plaisted good deal. The
circulars were printed in Bangor by job
printer now in the same business in Boston,
He is not a Blaine man, but he tells the Boston
journal that when he saw he had the evidence
in his hands to refute the story that the Mad-
gan circulars were sent from Mr.. Blaine's home
by express he felt il to be his duty to give it to
the public. His books show that the circulars
in question We're printed in Bangor mailed to
the towns in Plaisted's district on orders for
warded by him or his campaign managers, and
the postage prepaid by the printer. w.
W. Castle, formerly of Belfast, and a
member of the Maine Republican Committee
for several years, including 1879, has also
called the Journals attention to the fact
that the Madgan circular was the subject
Of criticism at a meeting of the State Com
mlttee 1T Mr.. Baine'> house after it appeared
and that it was the almost universal opinion of
the members of the committee that it was I'M
called for and unfair. as Mr.. Madgan was
known to be very liberal man in religious
matters LIE believes, further, that Mr.. Blaine
was among those who deprecated the issue of
the circular. 1t is worth while to note In this
connection that when the circular appeared in
Aroostook county Charles NJ. uerrin, prom
fnent Democrat Of HonIton, now deceased,
wrote Il ruu,tic personal letter to General
Plai>ted, which appeared in the Democratic
papers, charging him as the author OF the cir
euiar, and denouncins it in unmeasured terms
TO that charge Plai>tcd made no reply.

Thou noble, cleaning salmon king of fish,
Formed in response TO epcurean wish;
Torn from thy element by mans device,
Thence most ignobly packed in moss and ice;
1t was thy fate, though undeserved, poor wight
To be transported both at day and night
Three hundred miles by rail, when, 10 NV eyes
Behold thee with glance of glad surprise.
Two suretles In thy form see revealed
Kind friendships token, lips forever sealed
The nrst thy presence proves, but did doubt,
The second pleads all questionings to rout.
Well might prize thee for thy worth alone,
Delicious stranger, yet fain would own
TO rating friendship DER its gift as high
AS bends above the earth a sunny sky.
Thou stately beauty could once uuhind
The silence of thy tongue, and seek to find
What thou canst do, unto my strange appeal
Thy answer needs be, "Ony grace meal"
Pl ask no secrets of thy river home,
Nor yet of ocean in which thou didst roam
Ere thy return where dancing waters shine
Fresh from Penobscot's hills of spruce and pine.
Perish the thought to question of thy life,
As graceful outlines fade meath vandal knife
Soon thoult be served with garuiture to tease
Twin gems of sea and garden-salmon, peas.
Though Fortune may deny all other things
She here will lay table fit for kings.
Let health and sweet contentment then unite,
And "good digestion wait on appetite"
