The Washington high school.

10 The Editor Of The Er6ntng CTtitc:
During the late Convention OF Public School
Superintendents they visited tho High School
and saw, what may be unknown to many
Waehingtonians, ono OF the best and most COM
plete structures devoted to education this side
OF Massachusetts,. do not wish to call atten-
tion to the building, but to tho school Within,
filled with bright, Intelligent pupils, young
ladies and gentlemen, the very flower OF the
beauty and chivalry OF the Capital, and eX-
perienced teachers, each one an expert In their
own line, but also conversant with all the
branches that go TO make up the curriculum OF
this great educational establishment.
The stimulating effect of such n school is
showing itself In tho organization OF societies
by the scholars to aid them In their studies,
one Of these being tho Natural History So-
clety, formed to encourage the study of nature
In her varied forms and create love for origi-
nal investigation. This society needs books
and Instruments, and as there is no appropria-
friends for help. As means to this end they
have invited Mr.. D. $. Holman. of the Frank
lin Institute, Philadelphia, TO deliver two iec-
lures on "Life, Motion and Sound," as seen
under the microscope and on the screen.
Mr.. Holman Is we'll known In the sclentlnc
world, and In the Franklin Institute course OF
lectures none are more Interesting, beautiful
and Instructive than his. During his long ex-
perlence as actuary OF the institute he has
the lene, and the instrument he uses is the
best yet Invented. Tho phoneidoscope, show
Ing the vlbratory motion OF musical sounds
upon the screen, is as novel as beautiful, and
several songs Will be sung, which VIII give
additional effect to this Interesting expert
ment.
Tho object OF the young ladies' and gentle.
men Is so worthy, It Is to be desired that O
favorable response will bo giyon TO their ap-
peal, and that on next Friday and Saturday
evenings, March z and 8, In the exhibition
hall Of the High School, corner of Seventh and
o streets, their friends may be out In full
force sis contamination devoutly to be
Wished" The Washington High School is au

THE House Committee on Invalid PEN
sions has done noble and just thing in
agreeing to bill TO allow the widow of
General Francis P. Blair, of Missouri, 5000
and pension of $50 per month. OF the
hundreds and thousands of men who bat
tied for the Union there was not one
braver or truer than Frank p. Blair. Long
before tho war broke out he had espoused
the cause of the colored race. He declared
himself Free Soiler in Missouri in the
days when it was dangerous for man to
give utterances to freesoil opinions there,
and when the crisis came he was the first
in that State to go to the front and battle
for the principles he had so long pleaded
for. He remained in the Army until the
war was over and the freedom of the COL
ored race and the perpetuity of the Union
was secured. He came home wreck, physi-
cally and financially, though mentally as
strong as he ever was. He battled along
for few years with the maladies con-
tracted in the Army, and finally, while yet
young man, yielded up his life, leaving
his family in Strengthened circumstances.
There ought not to be any hesitancy by
Congress in passing the bill.
The Evening critic., 1884-03-05

THE members of the Grand Army of the
Republic have a perfect right to protest
against the passage of the Fitz-John Porter
bill, and Congressman have a perfect right
to oppose it by speech and vote but neither
have q right to make misstatements or to
misrepresent the facts. We arc good
deal surprised to hear man of the char
acter Of Senator ingalls, say that the Kansas
resolutions presented by him yesterday
voice the sentiments of nino.tenths of the
surviving Union soldiers of the war of the
rebellion. 1t is not true. Porter was
wronged by tho passion of the hour, and
the thinking soldiers know it, and want to
see him righted.
The Evening critic., 1884-03-05

WE ARE glad to see the interest taken
by Congressman in the matter Of now
building for the City Postofllcc But we
beg leave to remind these gentlemen that
If they waste too much time over the ques-
tion of site, the building will never bo
erected. Make the appropriation-say just
how much money we are to have for the
building and the site, and the business in
tcrests of the community will settle the
latter question. For that matter Congress
can safely leave the whole question Of a
site to Postmaster Conger. The whole COM
munity confldes in him and he will only
consult their best interests.

Gen. Logan's Visit to Maine.

THE TRIP TO ELLSWORTH AND RECEPTION
THERE. VISIT TO THE VETERANS AT TOGUS.
RETURN TO WASHINGTON.
We noted last week the arrival of Gen. 10
gan in Augusta, his reception there, and de-
parture for Ellsworth to visit the home of Sen
ator Hale. The party included Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine, Miss Dodge, Gail Hamilton,) Gen.
Logan, Senator Hale, President Sewall Presi-
dent Jackson, Hon. Frank Jones. Of Ports
mouth, n. H., Col. j. n. Greene of the Shore
Line and Capt. Frank Arey. The train arrived
in Bangor in the afternoon of Tuesday. the day
of the meeting of the Democratic State cOnven-
ton, and pains were taken to prevent demon
station, but many citizens made their way to
the train and among them some of the G. A. r.
veterans who paid their respects to Gen. Lo-
gan. The train reached Ellsworth at $50 ..
IN. where the party was enthusiastically re-
ceived. They proceeded to Senator Hale's
residence, and in the evening public reception
was held in Hancock Hall. Later the crowd
went to the Hale mansion where speeches were
made, fire works set off, and great enthusiasm
prevailed.
Wednesday the party started on the return
trip to Augusta, but Bangor had not been idle
meanwhile and on arrival in that city IA process
sion was in readiness at the station. and the
distinguished guests were escorted to IA plat
form in front of the First Parish Church.
Mayor Humphrey called the assemblage to
ORDER and eX-Chief Justice Appleton delivered
an address of welcome. He was followed by
Hon. S. H. Blake, and then in response to loud
calls Mr.. Blaine spoke briefly. He said: Gen.
Logan came to Maine on no public errand, but
on a personal visit to myself and to our distin-
gushed fellow-citzen, Senator Hale. But the
ardor of Republican Maine would not permit
him to go beyond our borders without making
manifest to him the heartiness and cordially
with which he is welcomed to our homes and
tiresides. am travelling only as his attendant,
and to represent you as the Maine host in Civ
ing him welcome within our border. He
closed with an elegant tribute to Gen. Logan,
which evoked long and continued applause.
Gen. Logan in well chosen words freely ex-
pressed his gratitude at the greetings he had
received in Maine. After speech from Sena-
tor Hale, who said he wanted Gen. Logan to
come to this State and get Maine welcome, Il
reception was held. and then the party were
escorted to the train and proceeded on their
way to Augusta.
Thursday morning Gen. Logan and Senator
Hale visited the Soldiers Home at Togus, when
they had military reception. Some of the
inmates had fought side by side with Gen.
Logan in the war of the rebellion, and he al
luded to the fact in his address. Senator Hale
spoke briefly and after lunching with Col.
Smith, Treasurer of the Home, Messrs. Logan
and Hale returned to Augusta and took the $50
P. M. train for Washington.

Valuable Information.

We take the following from the Eastern
State, written by the editor of that paper:
Some thirteen years ago, Fred Atwood, who
was at that time dealing in agricultural nipple
ments in small way, compared with the
business which he now does in that line, carae
up here for the purpose of showing the merits
of the Meadow King Mower. A trial was had
in Jere Pages field, which was attended by
quite number of farmers and other interested
spectators. The writer of this was in the
crowd. The trial was entirely satisfactory to
those who witnessed it, and the machine that
was used on that occasion was purchased by
Alfred Austin of Parkman, who has used it on
his farm eyer since, and he tells us that it did
not cost him one single cent for repairs last
year, and is to all appearances good for many
more years of service. Mr.. A. has acted as
agent for the machine ever since the time above
spoken of. and has sold between thirty and
forty of them in this immediate vicinity. They
nave now been running on an average about
eight years. Last year, the average expense
for repairs upon these machines was only
about 30 cents. These facts are significant and
they go to show that the Meadow King deserv-
es IA place in the front rank of farm machinery.

FISH AND FISHING. An odd looking fish in
a Waterville market bore the following inscrip-

can be seen at the Rink" Train men report
nearly one ton of trout taken on board the
train at Phillips on Monday week by fishermen
returning home from Rangely....On Monday
next the fisherman can angle for black bass
with impunity, the close time expiring the day
previously. Already our local anglers are on
