Portland Apartmeut Hou.e.

Among the great wants of the city of Port
land is first-class apartment house. We are
glad to learn that movement is to be made
toward the erection of such a building. Mr..
FaSsett, the architect, has given this matter
great deal of attention, has visited New York,
Boston, Philadelphia AID Washington, exam
ined and studied the plans and construction of
very many apartment houses, and has, at con.
siderable expense, prepared plans for a FIRST
class apartment house, containing eight
apartments. Each apartment comprises
library, parlor, dining room, kitchen, bath
room, four chambers ample closet room, pan.
tries and 80 forth. All the rooms are Of good
size, well lighted and ventilated and all the
principal rooms have open freplaces. The
building will be built in the form of two
WINGS each 2Sx63 feet, connected by vesti-
bule containing staircase and elevator, MAX
ing the principal FACADE OF the building 68
feet in length. 1t will be four stories high
above the basement in which will be located
the heating apparatus, laundries, and servants
apartments If desired. The entire building
will be built of brick with freestone and terra
Gotta trimmings, and will present an imposing
and ornamental appearance. 1t is proposed to
build all interior walls and partitions of brick
and porous terra Gotta, making the whole
structure as nearly fire-proof as possible. All
the stairs, both principal and servants, are to
be of iron. In the rear of the principal stair
case Is to be an elevator which is to run in a
fire proof we'll.
1t is not yet certain whether company will
be formed or some individual will carry out
these plans. There is no doubt if this scheme
can be carried out that its advantages will be
readily appreciated and a number of buildings
of like nature will be called for. Il has
been demonstrated that the cost Of living can
be reduced from 10 to 20 per cent. by this
plan from the cost of living in detached
houses, while the cares of housekeeping are re-
duced to the minimum.
Mr.. Fassett would be pleased to show the
plans and make any explanation to all interest,"
ed in this subject.

CURIOsITIEs OF CoUNTERFEITING.-I
wish to call your attention to two curious
facts, said an official of the secret service at
Washington recently to a correspondent.
Counterfeiting runs in families, and without
exception, the men engaged in it are all
poor. For instance take the Ballard family,
Thomas, Benjamin, George and John, four,
brothers, all in our clutches, together with
an aunt. There is one brother out Of Jail,
but we are satisfied that he isan honest man.
Thomas Ballard isa wonderful fellow. He
is the only person, so far as we know, who
has succeeded in initiating the fibre paper
upon which the genuine note and bonds are
printed. At present he is serving thirty
years. sentence asa reward for his discovery.
He is chemist of no ordinary attainmerts,
and he invented process by which he was
able to take a genuine 50 or 81 bill and COM
pletely remove all vestige of ink from its
surface. Then, with counterfeit plate of
higher denomination, he would print upon
the genuine paper and thus raise the note.
Speaking about raising notes, here is a
check on the Third National Bank of New
York, which vas raised from S45l to $26,a6S,
and paid in 1876. The perpetrators worked
off with chemicals all that was written in
the check except the signature, and regret
to say that we have never been able to dis
cover who did it. Here are three steel

plates which were engraved by Ulrich for a
Ave dollar issue. The engraving is done on
soft steel, and when completed the plate is
hardened. To give you some idea of the
amount of labor it takes to engrave these
plates I can only say that we have evidence
that Ulrich was fifteen months completing
them.
Perhaps the greatest curiosities in our
entire collection are the bills which made
their appearance about four years ago, ex-
ecuted with pen entirely by hand. AT
first we thought that it must take great
amount of time for the rascal to turn out
one of those bills, but now we think he pro-
duces about one week. The denomina-
tions are fifties, twenties and tens, and they
are turned into the treasury for redemption
from all parts of the union.

A ScoRpIoN's STING.-Slander, some one
saws. "is the solace of malignity." Proba-
bly as much mischief is done by the tongue
as in any other way. There are so many
tongues and 50 much bitterness. And often
one INDUCES in injurious representations
about another from mere envy and from the
consciousness that in pulling him down the
parties are placed more nearly on the same

ANCIENT MUsIC.-The Egyptian flute
was only a cows horn with three or four
holes in it, and their harp or Tyre had only
three strings. The Grecian Tyre had only
seven strings and was very small, being held
in one hand. The Jewish trumpets that
made the walls Of Jericho fall were only
rams horns; their flute was the same as the
Egyptian they had no other instrumental
music but by percussion, Of which the great
est boast was the psaltery, a small triangular
harp, or Tyre with wire strigs, and struck
with an iron needle or stick; their sackbut
was something like bagpipe: the timbrel
was tambourine, and the dulcimer was a
horizontal harp with wire strings and struck
with a stick like the psaltery. They had
no written music, and had scarcely vowel
in their language, and yet, according to
Josephus, they had two hundred thousand
musicians playing at the dedication of Solo
omon's temple. Our Chicago Theodore
Thomas would have died in the greatest
agonies at such concert.
NAMEs.-Names originated from the pc
culiarities of the life or other circumstances
of the person to whom they were applied as
distinguishing marks. John, the clerk,
became John Clark James, the smith, be-
came James Smith tall man became
Long, and a short man became Short Will
liam on the hill became William Hill, and
Samuel, the fuller, became Samuel Fuller,
and so on. There are few names of families
that cannot be traced back to their origin in
some such way. Hill is English.

first "takes notice" of the orange or the
bauble! Oh, all these things fill woman's
heart, if she is a real woman; she forgets
be mother. And oh, the hopes that bub-
BILE up in her heart; the dreams, never to
be realized perhaps, but just as sweet for all
that. Next to the young girls love dreams
come young mothers dreams over her
baby. There are so many babies, men do
not know them apart. They believe that
all babies cry alike, whereas mother
knows that her own baby has a softer sob
than any other woman's. There are wo-
men who never had any children, who
think it "disgraceful to be dragged down
by baby" But mothers laugh at them.
There is hard work, there is care, there are
vigils, and much weariness; but there is
baby love to pay for it all.

The MAN WHO HURRIEs.-The bustling,
hurrying man, as a matter of fact, is poor
worker Too much of his steam power is
expended in kicking up dust. The habit of
hurrying and of feeling in a hurry is fatal
to good work, and diminishes the amountof
work good man can do. The friction is
too great. So little of practical value is &C.
complished that he cannot 60 home at night
with sweet consciousness of duty done,
of days work completed. The men who
accomplish most, never seem in hurry, no
matter how much they have to do. They
are not troubled for lack Of time, for they
make the most of the minutes by working
in a cool, methodical manner, finishing
each job properly and not expending their
nervous force in hustle. They never COM
plain of overwork, but are more likely to
hunt up new work in order to give their
faculties more varied employment and to
exercise some which are not sufficiently
used.-Herdld Of Health.

Boys AND THEIR MoTHERs.-Some one
has written beautifully to the boys in the
following manner: "Of all the love affairs
in the world, none can surpass the love of a
big boy for his mother. 1t is pure love and
noble and honorable in the highest degree
to both. do not mean merely a dutiful
affection mean love which makes boy
gallant and courteous to his mother, saying
to everybody plainly that he is fairly in
love with her. Next to the love of hus-
band, nothing so crowns woman's life with
honor as this second love, this devotion of a
son to her. And l never yet knew boy to
turn out bad, who began by falling in love
with his mother. Any man may fall in
love with fresh faced girl, and the man
who is gallant with the girl may cruelty
neglect the worn and weary wife. But the
boy who is lover of his mother in her
middle age is true knight, who will love
his wife as much in the sere-leaved autumn
as he did in the daisy spring-time."
nsE The cultivation of those faculties in
which we are deficient is duty which most
of us wish to perform, but we rarely suspect
how much of this may be done by the SIM
pie presence of suitable surroundings. For
example, an unsocial or unsympathetic man
may struggle as long as he will with his
defect without success while he shuts himself
up lTOll SOClGly. Ilc llluSC DC Will anu
among his fellow-men if he is ever to share
their joys and sorrows. He certainly can
never love those whom he will not know,
nor have kindly sentiments to those he
never meets.

A TENDER INCIDENT OF Jacksonville
tender memory Of Stonewall Jackson left
behind him in the army and the stern
sense of duty he bequeathed his soldiers
will be illustrated by this little incident
The army of Lee was on its march to Get
tysburg, and the commanding general had
given Strict orders for it's discipline in Penn
sylvana. An officer riding to camp from
Chambersburg late at night, was halted by
the outposts. Having neither pass nor
countersign, in his dilemma, he bethought
him of an old pass in his pocket book sign
en- by General Jackson, whose recent death
hung like a clond over the army. He found
it and handed it with confidence to the SEN
tinel. The trusty fellow managed to read
it by the light of a match, and as he did so
he seemed to linger and hesitate over the
signature. And then as the light went out
he handed it back and looking up toward
the stars beyond, he said sadly and firm
ly: Captain, you can go to heaven on that
paper, but you can't pass this post.

THE LEGISLATURE IN
ORLEANS.

The committee chosen by the legis-
lature to consider the bill relating to
the change of shire in this county,
consisting of three from the Senate
and five from the House, visited this
county last week to investigate mat
tiers for themselves. They came
ednesday night to Newport, and on
Thursday visited Barton Landing,
Irasburgh and thence came to this
place where they remained over night
and returned on Friday morning.
The friends of a change of shire at
Newport set forth their claims in as
wise a manner as possible, using sta
tistics, maps etc The friends of the
bill for the removal at the Landing
showed the committee their hotel ia
cilities, sites suitable for the erection
of county buildings etc. At Iras-
burgh the people of that town demon
strated the fact that the shire is al
ready near the geographical center of
the county, and showed by citizens of
several towns that there is feeling
that there should be no change at
this time. J. w. Simpson of Crafts
bury stated that his town was oppos-
ed to change, and, in case the To-
eating committee put the shire in the
north end of the county, the town
would ask to be set into Caledonia or
Lamoille county. He predicted the
same thing with Greensboro. A thor
ough examination was made of the
court house, the Jail and other build
ings. The committee when they ar
rived here appeared to manifest some
surprise that there was really any
thing more than hamlet in this place,
but concluded to meet the people in
the evening and talk matters over,
which they did. The expression of
feeling here was decidedly against
the present move. The committee
are composed of very candid and in
telligent gentlemen, who seem in
tent on giving all parties the farest
hearing, and each place just con-
sideration. Whatever their decision
may be we hope they will form no
unpleasant opinion of the county, OF
those who meet them in consultation.
On Friday evening they held meet
ing in Montpelier where the subject
was again considered, most of the
members from the county, and many
citizens from the county being pres
ent. They will not meet again till
next Friday night, when it is thought
the petitions and circumstances will
be in and it can be more fully deter
mined what the sentiment of the
county is.
