port.

Two Opinions of Mr.. Blaine.

1t may interest some of the hypercritical
brethren to know that two of the most
eminent and clear headed clergymen in
the country, the Rev. DIR. Webb, of Boston,
and the Rev. j. H. Ecob, d. d., of Albany,
who have successfully been the pastors Of
the Congregational Church, of which Mr..
Blaine and his wife are members, have
recently testified in the strongest terms to
the cleanness and uprightness of his char
acter In the Boston Journal of June IA,
DR.. Webb said
"And 1 am bound to say that after the
fullest and freest conversations, formal and
informal, serious and chatty, my confidence
in this much abused man is neither shaken
nor abated. And l believe the attacks
made upon him are as unfOunded as they
are malicious. Criticism, fair and hOnOra-
BILE, of public conduct and public men is
not to be deprecated. But let any one re-
call what has been laid at Mr.. Blaine's
door within the last few weeks and months,
while he has been diligently at work in
his library, and it will be seen that the
maneuvers, bargains schemes and plots
which have been attributed to him might
have been attributed to General Gordon,
in KhartOum, with just about as much
truth. From personal knowledge and con-
fdence in the absolute truthfulness OF
words, spoken to me, do not believe MIR.
Blaine has spoken word, or written
letter, or spent farthing to secure his
present nomination. And if he is elected,
as l trust he will be, though not for his
sake, it will be because the people want
him to be President. If elected, he Will
call to his aid some of the purest and
ablest men in the country he will give an
administration which, tor justness, good
ness and stability, will compare well with
the best that has preceded it."
DIR. Ecob is still more explicit and testl-
fies his own abounding faith in Mr.. Blaine
and in the following language:
II have known Mr.. Blaine since 1877.
During nearly ten years of that time was
pastor of the church in Augusta of which
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine are members. Inc
satisfaction / take in his nomination is
based upon such knowledge of him as only
pastor can gain. Lelieve that l am too
true Republican, and know that my
conception of citizenship is too high to
permit me to ratify the exaltation OF any
man whose character has not the true ring.

portland tOregon) WeSt-Shore.
Twenty years ago it was an experiment
to manufacture wOolens for even the home
market in Oregon or Washington. Some
factories failed, closed up and stood idle for
five, ten, fifteen or more years. Others
pushed on and succeeded. Now the busi-
ness is established. Home goods supply
home and interstate demands. A few
firms bave won wealth and fame as pioneer
woolen manufacturers. The annual raw
wool product of Oregon and Washington
has increased from 100000 to 100000
pounds, and over one-sixth of it is woven
here into fabrics. The day of experimet is
passed for this industry. The time is near
for it to require large part of our
home woods and many millions of foreign
to feed the looms and fill the orders. The
immigrants will be great consumers of
these fabrics. The Asiatics will require
all they can buy and pay for. Our posi-
ton favors rapid increase of this busi-
ness. Suppose its present pay roll for
labor alone to be $4,000 per month, which
is low estimate, the annual sum would
be $4,000. Yet woolen manufactures in
Oregon and Washington are in their in
fancy. They can extend without limit, as
raw materials, skilled labor, food supply,
water power and growing markets all in
vite them and assure their success.

Bank Suspension.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July 2.-The Ply
mouth savings bank, of Plymouth, sus-
pended this afternoon. The assets and LA
bilities are unknown. 1t is rumOred that
the bank discounted nearly 100000 worth
of paper which crippled it for the present,
and to avoid a run the doors were closed.
The depositors are mostly miners and la
borers. Abram Nesbitt, president of the
Second national bank, of Wilkesbarre, and
George K. Powell, attorney, will tomorrow
be appointed receivers. The appointment
of these gentlemen leaves the impression
among depositors that the bank will be
able to meet all its liabilities within three
months.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-The GJouces-
ter, n. j., savings institution suspended
payments this afternoon, the cash on hand
having been paid out 1t is understood

At the evening session the House re-
sumed consideration of the Mexican pen

those who were opposed to the restrictions
placed upon it by the Senate, Townshend
who had charge of the bill, proposed that
the Senate amendments be non cOncurred
in, and conference was ordered.
Hewitt (Ala.) objected.
Shelley suggested. that the bill be laid

sideration of the private pension bills.

PARIS, July 4.-The formal presenta-
tion of the Bartholdi statue, Liberty En-
tightening the World" by the French gov
ernment to the United States, took place
in the Gauther workshop to-day. Morton,
the United States minister to France, re-
ceived the statue in the name of his gov
ernment Prime Minister Ferry sent let
ter stating he regretted that illness pre-
vented him from assisting at a scene of fra
ternitv between the two great republics.
In heart and soul he would participate.
DeLesseps said France under all govern
ments had always been a friend and ally of
America America now realized that the
Panama canal was work of universal
interest. The statue would forever be a
pledge of bonds of amity between France
and the great American people. Morton
in replying thanked France in the name Of
President Arthur and the American people
for the statue. He was charged to assure
DeLesseps, Ferry and the French nation
that American responded with all their
hearts. The sentiments of friendship they
had dictated would render the gratitude OF
the Americans people still more profound
and stronger. He hoped the statue would
remain for all time the emblem of imper-
ishable sympathy, uniting both countries.

ONE STEP MORE.

What though before me all is dark,
Too dark for me to see?
Task for light for one step more
vTis quite enough for me.
Each little, humble step take.
The gloom clears from the next;
so though 'tis very dark beyond
Inever am perplexed.
And if sometimes the mist hangs close
So close fear to stray,
Patient wait little while,
And soon it clears away.
Iwould not see my future path,
For mercy wells it so,
Nv present steps might harder be,
Did the future know.
II NAV be that my path is rough,
stormy, and dark, and steep,
And seeing this, my strength might tail,
Through fear and terror deep.
rmay be that it winds along
Asmooth and fiowery way,
lad seeing this | might despise
The Journey of to-day.
Ierhaps my path is very short,
Ny journey nearly done,
And might tremble at the thought
Of ending it SO soon.
Or if | saw weary length
of road that | must tread,
Painting I'd think my feeble powers
Would fail me ere the end.
And so do not wish to see
Ny journey or its length
Assured that through my Fathers love
Each step will bring its strength.
Thus step by step onward go
Not looking far before,
Trusting that / shall always have
Sight for just one step more.

EVENING SCENE.

stood at eve by the river side,
Watching the flow of the falling tide.
Out of the west came gleam of gold,
Far in the east the thunder rolled;
Over the fields for miles away
Came stealing night in his robe of gray.
Out of the harbor into the bay,
Over the waters far away,
Into the west, where the glorious sun
Sinks to rest when the day is done,
One by one the good ships SAIL
With wings outspread to the evening gale,
Over the hills sudden gleam
Lit up the breast of the peaceful stream
The glorious light but moment stayed.
Then faded away in the gathering shade,
The far off ships sank slow from sight
Into a sea of dreary night.

LAST JULY.
BY SOPHIA ST. G. LAWRENCE.

She's barely twenty, and her eyes
Are very soft and very blue;
Her lips seem made for sweet replies
Perhaps they're made for kisses, too;
Her little teeth are white pearl,
Her nose aspres to the sky,
She really is charming girl,
And adored her-last July
We danced and swan and bowled and walked
She let me squeeze her finger tips;
Entranced | listened when she talked.
And trash seemed wisdom from her lips.
| sent her roses till my purse
Was drained, found, completely dry;
K longed to sing her charms in verse
But all of this was last July.
OF course at last we had to part;
| saw tear drop on her cheek;
left her with aching heart,
And dreamt about her for a week.
But out of sight is out of mind,
And somehow, as the time went by,
Much fainter began to find
The memory of last July.
Jniy has come again at last
With summer gowns the rocks are gay;
1t seemed an echo of the past
To meet her on the beach to-day.
She's even fairer than of yore,
And yet, could not tell you why,
find the girl an awful bore
So long il is since last July.
