A Romantic Story from Maine.

Some years before the war Otis Bur-
ton, a former resident of Bangor, left
here to seek his fortune in the West.
He drifted to Missouri, where he met
an accomplished lady with whom he
fell in love. She was pleased with him,
but before he made his passion known
she moved to distant part of the
South.
About this time the war broke out,
and the two soon lost all traces of each
other. Burton joined the Union army.
and was soon afterward wounded, and
as 1t was supposed he would die,
a letter was sent to his mother
informing her that.her son could not
live. He, however, was blessed witt a
good constitution and recovered. He
went back 10 his regiment, and Was de-
tailed with q company to take supplies
across the plains. The party was at
tackled by Indians. and every man in
the force except Burton killed. He
was reported to have been slain with
the rest The Indians decided to let
him live, and took him a prisoner to
their retreat in the mountains of the
Southwest. He gradually recovered
from wounds he had received in the
encounter, made himself agreeable to
his captors, and adapted himself to
their ways of living.
After he had been in captivity six
months or more he was allowed more
liberty, and now began to watch for
chance to escape. The Indians had
stolen a number of ponies, and among
these was one which Burton's prac-
ticed eye showed him was highly bred,
and with speed and endurance This
pony was cared for and petted by Bur-
ton, and he was allowed to ride him.
One day he strayed away further than
usual, and, though not acquainted with
the country, made dash for liberty.
He was closely pursued, but the gal
liant little pony had the bottom" for a
winning race. He rode for three DAYS,
and then began to see that he was get
ting out of the hostile country. In
the distance he saw house which he
knew must be inhabited by whites.
He shouted with JOY, feeling that he
had gained freedom at last He knocked
at the door of the house, and surprise
awaited him. 1t was opened by the
woman he had loved in lang syne. He
was at once recognized, and received
hearty welcome. Burton told his adj
ventures and narrow escapes to a will
ing listener. She, too. told her story.
She had married . Confederate officer,
who was afterward killed in battle,
and she now owned the farm she occu-
pied. Is it necessary to tell the restP
They were betrothed, there was a mer-
nv wedding, and the happy couple are
still living in Southwestern State.
Surely in real life are romances as
strange and more interesting than
those weaved by the fertile brain of the
novelist. Bangor Ne. Commercial.

THE reelection of Judge Pulling is
said to be quite fully assured. After his
answer to the charges of the Oshkosh
bar no person having at heart the dignity
OF the bench can do otherwise than re-
greet his continuance in office. The
man who could pen suoh reply has
not a proper sense of the dignity of the
position of judge. 1t is The appeal of
demagogue. 1t furnishes q note of
warning to every intelligent man that
Judge Pulling, as candidate, is a poll
tician of the most uncandid type. 1t
iustifies the Oshkosh bar in the fight ard
will be reflection on the circuit which
continues man on the bench who shows
more of the shrewdness of the politician
than the dignity of the judge. Pulling's
reply should defeat him, though it were
the only thing against him.

WASHINGTON, March 2-Mr. Randall
has been smoked out, and admits that
instead of pushing the appropriation bills
through the committee be has been or
ganizing the Democrats against Morri-
sons tariff bill, and now claims that he
has 90 men of that party pledged not
only to vote against the bill, but to pre-
vent its consideration. The canvass
shows that Randall expects to be sup
ported by Democratic Representatives
from the several states as follows: Con
necticut, 3; New Jersey, 3; New York,
II; Pennsylvania, II; Ohio, 9; West
Virginia, l; Alabama, 4; Maryland, l.;
Virginia, /; California, 2; Louisiana, 2.
Ii this count can be depended upon Nor
rison's bill is very badly beaten. Ran
dali is said to be sustained aud encour-
aged in this fight by Tilden and Barnum
who see disaster to the democratic party
in the event of tariff agitation.

IN a recent lecture in New York, DR..
Woodbridge said: IN case of bite of a
venomous serpent, the old historic meth
Cd of sucking the wound with the lips is
one of the first things to be resorted to.
If the poison is in the circulation, the
use of strong brandy or whisky, in
quantities powerful enough to produce
intoxication, must be resorted TO. The
bite of a mad dog should be cauterized
at once, by pencil of lunar caustic or
by application of irons heated white.
The popularity of hydrophobic poison
is that it remains in the spot where the
bite occurs for several days or weeks,
and not until this poison ferments does
it become dangerous. DIR. Hewitt, a
surgeon of London, allowed himself to
be bitten no less than eighty times by
rabid dogs, each time successfully cauter
lzing the wound. He fell victim to his
temerity, however, for one day he was
found dead with pistol shot from his
own hand. A statement was left in his
papers that he had neglected the cauter-
ization too long, and feeling the first
symptoms of hydrophobia, he preferred
to die with the least agony"

John Chinaman and His "Loosta.'

his hat over his eyes and returned to

The chicken stuck his head through
the hole in the bag and looked around.
The view pleased him. The bag split,

The bag slit further, and he stepped
out of his prison. John dived for him,
but he took wing and knocked off too
high hats. Men struck at the fowl
with canes, women "shooedn it, and
the Chinaman chased it.
The train slowed up, and the brake
man opened the door. He had got his
mouth open to say Ninth street, when
the chicken, in dash for outdoors,
flew in his face and disappeared over
the rail into the street
''Stopee tlain! Stopee tlainr' yelled
the Chinaman, as the train stopped.
He ran out of the door and off on the
platform, hurrying after his bird, and

SOME years ago Mr.. M. M. Bartholo-
NEW, of Belleville, ILL.,, entered upon the
work of perfecting short hand machine.
His idea was not to supplant reporters.
but to aid them by mechanical contriv-
ance, and he has succeeded to his own
satisfaction. The machine, worked by
keys, enables the reporter to record the
words of rapid speaker without the
labor of writing, and gives him full use
of his eyes for observation of speaker and
audience. Two years ago when Mr. Bar
thomew visited the Inter Ocean office he
was advised to return when he had ac-
complished certain things, and The In
ter Ocean would be glad to chronicle his
success. He kept his promise, and we
are glad to record that he has accom-
plished what he then said he could and
would accomplish. Ocean.

talked OF for president are Blaine, Sher-
man and Lincoln. | did not hear Mr..
Edmund's name mentioned in the west
ern states, though l had an unusual op-
portunity to see people in clusters and in

White mentioned in Pennsylvania, but it
was said that he is a conscientious free
trader and therefore could not run on
the probable platform. There is more
curiosity about Lincoln than any other
person, more attachment to Blaine and
moro reasoning about Sherman. The
democrats in Ohio have ceased to abuse
Sherman and are calculating upon the
probable results of pitched battle be-
tween him and Payne. Sherman is sup
posed TO be a little weak in the western
reserve. Blaine is the expected candi-
date among the young men, the western
college boys and those who are in their
temperament and instinct western. Lin

of the strength and popularity of both
these men. The democrats have got

ABOUT BEN BUTLER.

A Washington letter says: The bar of
the supreme court met this week to eulo-
gize the late Philip Phillips, who died a
few weeks since. His widow is the wo-
man whom General Butler sent to Ship
Island for emptying a bucket of slop upon
the coffin of dead union soldier at New
Orleans while the funeral cortege was
passing her window. Although her hus-
band took no part in the confederacy, she
was a violent rebel, and after the capture
of New Orleans lost no opportunity to in
suit the flag and the soldiers. After the
war they came to Washington to live,
where Mr. Phillips abilities at once
placed him at the head of the bar and be
is said to have been the most successful
practitioner before the supreme court, re-
ceiving the largest fees and winning the
most cases. Mrs. Phillips went good
deal IL society. and at a reception ten
years ago or more met General Butler for
the first time since she confronted him at
his headquarters in New Orleans in 1853
Her escort, not recollecting the circum-
stance, attempted to introduce them,
when the lady indignantly turned her
back upon Butler, who, without losing bis
composure, quietly remarked, Mrs
Phillips and myself are acquainted.

ton now is, is the murderer democrat?
Can this be worked up into democratic

of United States officer, probably is a
republican and the affair loses the feature
of an outrage.
