POPULAR DEFINITIONS,
Not found IN HcJstCr.)
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL

The times are sadly out of Joint
And so, perhaps this song:
But still the cantO we will write
In hopes to right the wrong
The dictionaries Of the day
Are filled with gross abuse
or else the people quite mistake
The phrases now in use.
To wit, the phrase "A Gentleman"
We write the meaning plain
thing cOrpOreal, Strutting round
With neither heart nor brain;
Marked on the scale Of quality
By style Of boots or hat
The collars shining altitude,
or tie Of the cravat.
And then the phrase: "a Villain" Who?
Inc merchant who has made
shipwreck Of his means and hOpes
Upon the sea of trade.
Though honor ever kept the helm,
And prudence trimmed the sail
The hidden reef has wrecked the bardue
mat mOcked the maddening gale
villain! Who! the shipwreCkcd man;
BY seas and tempeSts tossed?
What care the shippers? Nillainl yes
II their effects are lost.
Intention is a worthless plea:
Misiortunes all are crimes
The golden rule q stale idea:
OmnipOtence-lie dimes
And then again, the phrase "A cheat"
The man who has not paid,
The bills he made for bread to eat
When on a sick bed laid,
But he may pay when health again
His pallid brow shall crown;
lis but paupers plea for time,
a swindler write him down
Now hear defined "A Financier"
A man Of wealth and gain.
Who swindles by no plebeian rule
But by a coup de main.
Justice upon his jewelled shield
Finds neither rent nor flaw:
a golden ladder takes him up
Above the reach of law
but then there is another phrase
Well understood by all;
lis sylla6led in magic words
The famed "Old Tower Hall"
And none its meaning may mistake.
For everybody knows,
IL means the place, Of all the best
For men 70 buy their clothes
FOR STYLE. ELEGANCE AND CHEAPNFS

The FAMILY AS A PoLITICAL FAC
ToR-Senator Bayard joins us in de-
claring that it is essential that eyerv
public man should be surrounded and
protected by a family. He says :
The family is the birthplace and the
nursery of the fireside virtues; honor.
truthfulness and courage, selfdeniai
and modesty, charity and honesty;
these are qualities which enlarge their
influences from the home to the neigh
borhood until they permeate the COM
munity, pervade the State and public
sentiment, and at last become imbued
with the'spirit of personal worth and
integrity"

A New USE FOR SELF-BINDERs.-
The farmers out West this year have
found new use for self-binders.
Where timothy is heavy and stands up
right, the self-binders gather it very
well, enabling the forage to be handled
more readily than where laid in the
swath and raking has to be done, cock
ing oftentimes, and pitching twice.
Besides, hay in sheaves is more readily
and safely stacked, and if put away
under cover, two tons will occupy
about the space of one ton loose.

As always, the Jews in Toulon and
Marseilles have escaped the ravages of
the cholera. OF the Jewish community
of 1000 souls in Marseilles, only seven
have been seized with this disease.
Two of these seven were lifelong in
valids; another was ninety-seven years
of age, and two others had not observ-
ed the Jewish law. The american
Hebre'c, Of New York, ascribes this
comparative immunity to the dietary
laws of Judaism, and lifts up its voice
against the unclean OfIal feeding
things Of sea and land which Chris
tian epicures prize so highly.

An Iowa village is being ravaged
with a disease which answers a very
good substitute for cholera. The
deaths average one in four of the per-
sons attacked with the disease, which
would be very fair death-rate for

Destructive fire nt Pemberyillc
The Greater Portion of the Busi-
ness Part Consumed.

On Wednesday night of last week the
business part of Pemberville suffered
severe loss by fire, from which it will take
years TO fully recover The fire was first
discovered at IL o'clock hy little son OF
John Bahrenbnrg, the baker, who was
awakened by suhocation from his room
being filed with smoke The alarm was
given and soon the whole town was arous-
ed from their peaceful slumber and hast
ened TO the rescue, but the buildings be-
ing frame the fire had gained such head.
way that all efforts TO check it were fu.
tile. Commencing nj the bakery the
flames leaped fiom one building to an
other, totally consuming every building
on Tie block from the Dewey Stave Co.'S
store to the Lutheran parsonage.
The name. Of the firms whose place OF
business was destroyed by the fire are as
follows: l.. G.. Sprague, druggist and
postofiice; Mrs. L. c. Sprague, millinery;
p. X. Krotzer, general store; A. Broer,
jeweler; G. Samman, market; Schroeder
& Menter, furniture; f. Rolf, saloon; F,
Gerding, grocery; ]. II. Balrenburg
bakery; A. Grote, grocery and saloon; j.
A. Schinke, boots and shoes; Drs. Stewart
Simon and LOOMS; I. N. Bierlv, law
office, and the Pemberville Independent
printing Office.
Being without provisions for combating
fire. at o'clock A. NJ. n dispatch was sent
to Toledo for steam fire ergine, which
arrived ut 3:45, but too late TO be of service
as the flames had spent their force by that
time. The entire loss is estimated at S40,-
| 900, while the insurance foOts up only SIG,
| 437, distributed as Flows: Shinke, 81,
500; p. X. K5otzer, 5000 L. c. Sprague

Total, $l6437.
II is believed the greater part of the
buildings destroyed will be replaced with
more substantial brick buildings in course
of time, in. which event The fire may prove
a blessing in Disguise.

A VISIT TO ALMA MATER.

Colby UNIVERSITY, WATERvILLE, Me, l
July Sd, 1884. J
My DEAR JOURNAL IL am here with
my classmates who left college forty five
years ago. Ont of seventeen who grad.
uated there are permitted to meet but
seven, among whom are DR.. S. L. Cald-
well, of Vassar University, New York,
DIR. Kicker, OF Augusta Maine, and Hon.
E.qr Briggs, of Boston, Mass. But as
the older class pass off the stage the newer
ones come on in larger numbers.
Colby University has grown up from
small beginnings and now stands second to
none in the discipline and culture of its
pupils. At the Commencement yesterday
in the graduating class were tw0 ladies,
both OF whom gave conclusive evidence of
scholarship. These alumni OF Colby dis
coursed on Biography, Science and Poetry.
Judging from the tenor of their remarks
and their appearance, one would not sup
pose that they belong TO the weaker sex.
We think that old theory OF the sexes will
explode il we have only lew more spec
linens of woman's ability such as Colby
University gave yesterday.
The young men exhibited Just such
grade Of scholarship md standard of action
as we might expect they would get, under
the discipline of DIR. Pepper, The Presi-
dent, and his associates. Those ihnrsting
for that kind of knowledge and culture
which fits one for the widest usefulness can
find no better place than Waleryille and
Colby University, beautiful for situation on
banks Of the Kennebec river, ,di yerfifed by
the Ticonic Falls. The works OF art and
the inimilable works Of the great artist
everywhere discoverable in nature.
James g. Blaine, Republican candi-
date for President, said few appropriate
words at the commencement dinner, and
was warmly clieered by the guests. His
public services have gwen him a high
place in the estimation of the people of
Maine, who will stand by him Mt the
ballot box, and We have not the shadow
OF doubt that Ii the States, even the
South were as well acquainted with him
IA the people OF Maine are, that they
would regard him az man preemnenlly
qualified for the position, which the con.
yeniion at Chicago accorded to him. The
political world il usually a stormy one
when the surf beals high and the under
currents are very strong. There are some
head winds near Boston, the Hub. /
learned that they arise from some little
sparring which occurred in the time of
Hamlin and Evans and also of Blaine
himself. But Massachusetts will not let
anything come between her and the wei.
iare OF our beloved country. She never
has and she never will. ID.
