The Blainites talk as though all the

The Blainites talk as though all the
patriotism of the country was locked
up in their breasts and the Demo
cratic party was devoid of the article.
And yet it was Patrick Henry who
moved the waters before the revolu-
ton; it was Thomas Jefferson who
stood firm against British influences;
it was Madison who sent Decatur to
crush out the Algerine pirates who
demanded tribute from American
commerce; it was Monroe who stood
by the rights of American seamen in
1912; it was Andrew jackson who
whipped the red coats at New Or
leans; it was James X. Polk who made
the Mexicans respect our rights, and
it was under Franklin Pierce's ad-
ministration that Captain Ingraham
made the Austrian government bring
our naturalized citizen, De Koszta,
from its foul dungeon and restore
him to the flag that foated proudly
over the frowning battlement of his
American frigate. And finally it was
under a Democratic administration
that Gen. Harvey drove the British
from Oregon and secured us the sea-
coast on the Pacific. But for all that
the Democrats do not brag of their
patriotism. Neither Washington nor
any of the old fathers ever boosted
of their patriotism; but they gave
evidence of it in every act of their
lives.

A severe earthquake shock was felt
in New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and in New England last Satur-
day. In some places it was violent
enough to crack the ceilings ofhouses,
and in the tenement house districts
of New York the widest kind of a
panic prevailed. As far as learned
there was no loss OF life or serious
damage to property.

Blaine claims credit for the Repub-
lican party and high taxes for all the
progress we have made since the war.
It seems to us that he should take
the crop as it runs. What does he
say about the thaee hundred millions
spent on a navy that is worthless;
about the millions stolen by the wills
ky ring; by the Credit Mobilier; by
the Indian ring; by the Star Reuters;
what about the corruptions in the
army, where army officers have
brought discredit on the uniform by
their frauds as illustrated by Swain
and Howgate; what about the corrup-
ton and profigacy that vitiates the
air of all the departments at Wash
ington? He should take the evil
with the good. But the truth is the
country has progressed despite its
immoralities; despite its corruptions;
despite it's excesses; despite its heavy
burdens laid upon our prosperity by
the hand of the Radical party. We
have been borne down by the weight
of these burdens. Relieve the peo-
pie of them and give them fair
chance and then we will prosper in
deed.

County Churches.

This association met Tuesday and Wednes-
day with the South Congregational church at
Kennebnnkport, and was quite fully attended
both days, although the county fair at Bidde-
ford held at the same time kept numbers
away.
The programme OF public discussions as
printed in the PRESS last Saturday was sub
stantially and satisfactorily carried out The
clergymen taking the principal parts were
Rev. Messrs. Huston and Morton of Wells,
Blanchard and Andrews OF Biddeford, Lew
is of South Berwick, Hibbard of Eliot, Lock-
wood of Kennebunk, Pastor Emerson Sevau
Of York and Dow of Kittery.
State Sunday school superintendent Snow,
and Rev. Mr.. Gutter, an agent OF the tract So
ciety gave spirited talks. The topics: "The
condition of the gospel power and the "Sab-
bath School" brought out the most and best
discussions
Among the prominent lsymen present who
took part in these debates were Col. Stene of
Kennebunk, S. M. Came, ESQ. of Alfred. ID.
Haley and Mr.. Garland of Biddeford and SEN
ator Maxwell OF Wells. The delegations OF

tanning substantial men and worthy women
The principal entertainments were from ample
tables in the hall under the church which Ia

with deft and liberal hand. The substantials
Of the meals were the more attractive from the
surroundings of green trimmings and the
abundance of fragrant flowers. The audience
room was also tastefully decorated.

Capt. and Mrs Isaac Lobdell received rela.
tives and friends Tuesday and were the happy
recipients Of many con pliments and congratu-
lations on the 5Oth anniversary of their we'd
ding day. Many of the company went out
over the Grand Trunk road taking the morn
ing train. Among them were Joseph W.
Lobdell and brothers, and Misses Charlotte
and Clara Lobdell of Boston, Mrs. James S.
Libbey OF Portland, Mrs. James NJ. Robinson
of Cape Elizabeth, Mrs. VIM. Robinson of
Lewiston, sisters of Mrs. Lobdell, also Miss
Sadie Wescott of Portland.
The worthy couple we're married in 1884 at

sented Pownal in the legislature in 1868.
AT about noon the party numbering full
twenty-five regaled themselves with viands
served upon beautiful dinner set OF English
ware decorated with wild roses and gold bands
which was among the presents. Conspicuous
besides the set were two large elegant chairs
upholstered in crimson and gold. After din
ner an appropriate poem was pretttly recited
by Miss Ella W. Libbey,
1t was lovely day in the country, the
woods were frightened with the first tints OF

Miss Cushman gave several very interesting
incidents OF the daily life among her pupils
and related several adventures which happened
Wnlle on an expedition into the surrounding
country.
Mrs. Flora Harris OF Toxic, Japan, was the
next speaker. She gave a vivid description Of
her life there and described the life of the
Japanese women, contrasting very forcibly the
lie OF an unconverted woman with one who
nad adopted the religion of Christ. She was
followed by Mrs. James Nudge, late of India,
VINO described the missionary's mode of life in
tnat country, and explained the reason why it
required SO many servants for one household.
IL Is not strange, she said that one leaving
our own braciDg climate could not at once
accllmate himself in India. Therefore they
needed servants at first to do their work. Then
tne dlHerent castes existing in India made
necessary greater number OF servants. Only
certain work could be done by each caste, and
1t often required the services of four or five
natives to do the work which would be done
Dy one competent man here. She gave an
amusing account Of her own experience in at
tempting to live without so large an army of
servants, and her final conclusion that she had
better conform to the ways of the country.
Mrs f. *. Stratton closed the exercises of
the afternoon with a poem, the theme Of
which was the mission of the society. After
the singing OF the Doxology, the meeting ad-
Iourned until evening.
Evening Session.
In the evening large audience listened to
addresses of much interest from Mrs. Rev. DR..
Butler and Mr.. Motora OF Toxic, Japan. Mrs.
Butler gave an interesting account of her Sec
ond visit to India. She went to that country
first as a missionary, accompanied by her hus-
band, some % years ago. She gave vivid
descriptions of Beuares and other cities, OF the
idolatry Of the people, cremation of corpses
preparatory to being thrown into the sacred
GaDges. Then by pleasing contrast she spoke
OF coming upon an old-fsshioned camp-meet-
ing Of some 800 Christians. Rev. Mr. Bash
ford spoke briefly, urging liberal contribution
to the maintenance of the schools. Mr.. Motora
spoke of the great good accomplished among
the common people in India by Christianity.
