Islael Pinkham and wife moved from
Maine many years ago to Utah Territory.
They passed through Salt Lake the other day
on rneir way To JneIr OLD noms, and tho oid
lady made no secret Of the cause Of their re-
turn. To the reporter for Gentle newspaper
she said: "My husband and l have lived to-
gether these forty-three years, and though we
Joined the Mormons twenty years ago, nothing
was ever said about polygamy until this spring.
Then some sneaking priests came round and
got the old man worked up with the idea that
ne must have one or two more wives. Not
much, Israel Pinkham,' says I; we've travel
ed together thus fur, and no Mormon will
separate Us now. We've got two sons and a
darter back East who shan't have anybody
poking fun at them; and there's the two little
boys that we buried back in Maine, who won't
have no occasion to pint their fingers at us
when we cross over to the other shore. This
thing has gone just as fur as it's going to.
Israel Pinkham, we're going back to Maine,
says I, and whether we've got one year or ten
years to live. we'll end this here pilgrimage
decent, as We begun it, Amt that what
told you?'' said she, addressing the old man,
who had been silent listener. He smiled in
faint way, and nodded assent. "Were CO.

''poorer than when We came out here, but
wiser and no wuss, so far as I can know

speeches Of the day.
This closed the most successful and the lar
xsst attended Grand Army meeting ever held
lsn Maine. Blaine returned to Portland this
evening.
Notes, HncidenIs, &c., SC.
Ainsane man among the audience during
the speechmaking created some little distur-
barce. When it was announced that Gen'l'
Mcclellan would not be present. the insane
man was DESTROYS to preach one of his best
sermons instead. Heroared like wild ami
NAL and it was with much difficulty that he
was finally quieted.
Glovers Band of Auburn rendered some fine
music this morning on the lawn, at the Old
Orchard House, in front of Blaine's apart
ments. During the reception at the Old
Orchard House, Blaine recognized many
familiar faces To great many he did not
wait for an introduction; but at once extended
his hand with "How do you do "Mr. Brown
"Mr. White" .fMr. Black" 'Mr. Green"
&c., &C.
Blaine held short consultation with Con-
gresham Dingley this morning.
Senator Frye was not present at all on
account of sudden illness OF his wife at Squir-
rel Island.
I Mr.. Blaine gave an instance of his remark
able memory today. When Mr.. Allen Of
Canada was about to take his hand during the
reception, Mr. Blaine at once recognized him
as old friend. Sixteen years ago Mr.. Allen
was one of the proprietors of the Ocean House
Mr.. Blaine passed the summer there, snd has
remembered Mr.. Allen ever since. He even
noticed that he had grown his Whiskers under
his chin, which was different from the way he
used to wear them.
Congressman DiDgley was suddenly called
away at o'clock, and therefore could make
no speech.
Cries for Butler were frequently heard at the
speechmaking, but for :some reason reason or
other that distinguished person did not put in
an appearance.
The railroad arrangements were admirably
carried out, and all who desired to be present
were probably here.
Gov. ROBBIE knew all the farmers at the re-
ception, and all the farmers were deligt ted to
see him. The Governor probably has a larger
following among the people in the rural dis
tricts than any other person in Maine.
Mr.. Blaine held short conversation with
Messrs. james L. Lowry, d. Blakely of Min
nesota, and Prof. W. L. Dunning, both of

CAMPAIGN Notes

Maine man who has been familiar with the
western towns in Penobscot county reports that the
Republicans will make gains over 1882 In that sec
tion of the State. There are few towns in which
the Eaton who represents the Chase or straightout
wing OF the Greuback element will receive few
votes, but he finds indications of any vote for the
EATON who is the candidate Of the antC Green
back convention.
The Post says it has reason to believe that Gov.
Cleveland, if elected President would offer Cabinet
positions to a number of Independent Republicans
Perhaps gratitude would demand something of the
sort, but what a striking novelty it would be-! And
we can't help thinking the Post did an iniuc.cious
thing to let this information loose Just now.-N Y.

The New York Times doesn't think much Of Mr.
Hendrekss talk at Saratoga, and It gets this quiet
rap at him: Tho candidate recognized the fact
that the responsibility of the next vice president
may be very great in view Of the possibility of an
equal division in the Senate and he made rather
mysterious allusion to his duty in connection with
the counting of the electoral votes This seems to
contain the suggestion that the vice president has
power in that matter which was generally denie by
the Democrats on the only occasion which 1t be-
came q question Of practical moment. Mr. Hen
bricks had nothing to say on any real question Of
the time, and perhaps was not called upon to say

NOTES.
The Island Daily calls the attention of the climbs
to the rule that says the game shall wait only three
minutes for mending skates, etc. If this rule was
observed better and the players had extra skates
hand in case of accident, the worst feature Of the
game would be done away with.

Yesterday was rather an unpleasant day, espee-
tally in the afternoon, with signs of rain in the
clouds, and this in connection with the Old Orchard
affair, decreased the attendance at the game, al
though there was between 400 and 500 present.
The game was rather loosely played by both teams,
although at times some pretty plays were made.
The game opened with the Portlands at the bat ard
they were retired after getting two rurs while the

next three innings for the Portlands gained them
nothing but in the fifth they got in two more runs

having accomplished that feat safely but with sew
eral narrow escapes. He pronounces the ride a
foolish and hazardous undertaking, and thinks the
stories of those who had previously taken it are
somewhat colored. The road down is sandy, and
one is liable to numerous falls by the many bad
places in it. 1t took him 90 minutes TO 20 from the
summit to the base, although it has been done IN a
little less time. He advises all wheemen who have
any idea Of trying it, to entertain it no longer.
