SUDDEN DEATHS.
Edmund Phinnex.

Mr.. Edmund Phinney of the firm of Phin-
ney & jackson died at his residence in this city
of neuralgia of the heart, yesterday. He had
not been considered seriously ill until Thurs
day night, and, in fact, was out riding Sunday
last.
Mr. Phinney was born February A. 1918, st
Fort Hill, in Gorham, Maine. His grandfath-
or John Phinney, was one of the first settlers
OF that town. At an early a,e he removed
with his parents to the town of Turner, where
he lived till 1912. In that year he was mar
ried to Miss Betsey H. Bayford, and removed
to the town of Canton. -Four children of this
marriage, three sons and daughter are living.
November 9th, 1867 he married Miss Jennie
M. Hight of Warren who survives him. Mr..
Phinney was a cooper by trade and while resi-
dent at Camden sent cooperage to the old
West India firm of Smith s. Hersey of Port
land 10 be shipped to Cuba. In 1854 he came
to Portland TO transact business. He had in
1851 formed a partnership with Mr.. Bovine I'M
der the firm name of Phinney & Bovine, and
in 1868 that partnership was dissolved and the
firm OF Phinney & jackson formed, which for
thirty years transacted large West India
trade. The reverses of that firm, with the de-
tails, are too well known and too recent, to
need comment here
Mr.. Phinney was member and past Master
OF Atlantic Lodge, Past High Priest of Green
lea Royal Arch Chapter, and member of
Portland Commsndery of the Masonic Order
member of Ligonia Lodge of Odd Fellows,
AID OF the Odd Fellows Beliefs of Maine and
of Portland and member of the Citizens
Relief, and the Mechanics Association. He
was Republican in politics, and represented
Ward Five In the Council in 1868 and
1864. and in the Aldermen In 1866 and 1866.
William Weeks.
William Weeks the well known grocer, son
Of Joshua Weeks, died yesterday morning
rather suddenly firm gravel. 1t is true he had
been i'll for some time, but his death came
rather unexpectedly at last Mr.. Weeks was
located as provision dealer for a long time,
corner of Franklin and Fore streets. He af-
forwards kept store at the corner of franklin
and Congress streets. Mr.. Weeks was at one
time City Liquor Agent, and treasurer of the
old Portland Museum. He was passionately
fond of music, member of the old musical
organizations of the city, as well as the Haydn
Society. He was of most genial disposition,
ndly and considerate, and besides family
will leave many friends to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Weeks was member also OF the Veter-
an Odd Fellows AssociationIand was admitted
a member of Ligonia Lodge In 1S43. He was
also a member of the Second Parish church.

Mr. virgins Tes.in.onial.

The following letter from the Rev. A. II.
WRIGHT, Pastor of St. Lawrence Street
Church. speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as a system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9th.
ers have received who have used it sysemati-
cslly and perseveringly, l am prepared to add
my testimony to its great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means OF physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simply add that if persons
of sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time TO take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use with perse-
verapce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, / am satisfied they
will find the same cause / have, to prize and
praise its excellence.

How He Managed.

elbow do you manage TO always
have money in your pocket?n asked a
friend of another, the other day, and
continued: Il pay out what have and
then forget, and half the time have not
a nickel, and am often embarrassed by
it, and | cannot get in the way of re-
Numbering TO supply myself with
change" That was Just my fix"
said his sympathizing interlocutor,
"and with me it extended to everything
-soiled handkerchiefs or none at all,
and everything that man conld for
get. Well, sir, | got married, and my
wife found that she had to provide for
me, and see that / was supplied with
such things. That suggested happy
idea, and | elected her treasurer of the
firm, and now she sees to it that have
handkerchiefs, gloves, money, and all
such personal necessaries. but does
she not ask you what you have done
with the money she gave you?" "No,
sir, '" was the reply, with some asperity
Tiny wife is a gentleman should
say a lady, with what in a gentleman
would be gentlemanly instincts"
That is just like my wife," put in
a bystander. "She said l never knew
how to pack my valise, and said she
would pack it for me, and so when |
opened it at the hotel | found dozen
collars and no shirt"
"Do you make your wife the treas
urer of the firm?" asked the sleek and
happy husband.
mo, sir, | don't"
"Well, sir, you just give her hun
dred dollars, and put her on that kind
of training, and I'll wager you a hat
that your shirts and collars will match
every time"

and each one wended his way to his den
and desk, bordering on the lesson Of

German Servants.


In their own country they are adj.
mirable, clean, obliging and wonder.
fully hard working, but they lack the
finish of good English servants. One
great merit they certainly possess
though orderly in their work, yet if the
daily routine is interrupted, they are
not utterly upset and demoralized. Our
servant kept eight rooms clean, and
very clean, never speek of dust to be
seen, cooked for herself and the land
lady, fetched our dinner from the restau-
rant, carried up to our etage (the
SecOnd) all the wood and water that
was required, scrubbed the stairs and
passage every week, and yet was
always ready to run Q message or post
a letter, and, dressed in her best. fire.
quently went with me to the evening
concert, and came back to fetch
me at ten o'clock. She was never
in bed till eleven, and was at
work by six, neat and smiling,
with no shade of the weary, jaded
look so sad to see in an English
''slavey." 1t is a mistake to suppose
that wages are very low in Germany;
LIZ - " Vel Y uStldI SUN lOE Il COOK, anu
one servant we had in our lodging
when she married had $40 in the saw

household is that the servants live very
plainly, and one does the work that
with us would be divided between two
Or three. The feeling of attachments
and interest in 1.-THE honor of the
family" observable in Scotch servants,
is very general, and without undue
familiarity German servants are al
lowed to share in the Joys and sorrows
Of their employers. The men servants
are strikingly free from the insolcnt
swagger of ''Jeames," and show the
same simplicity of nature as their mas
tiers. | remember a trifing incident
which greatly amused me. When
was going to an audience at q royal
Schloss, as | got out of the carriage a
bow Of my sash caught in the door and
was torn off. 80, what pity, Gnadiges

kies who was assisting me. "Never
