PROSPECTS OF A LARGE AND SUCCESSFUL

The next New England Fair will be
held at Bangor, Me, on August 81, Sep
TENDER l, ,, 3 and i. Arrangements are
fast being perfected to bring about an
exhibition that shall be on par with the
recent fairs by the New England Agri-
cultural Society. Bangor is alive to the
Importance of contributing of her might
to render the meeting fine one in every
particular, and no expense or effort will
She spare to produce such a result
Prominent men in Maine, outside Of Ban
gor, have also Joined hands with the fair
officers, and all are intellgently at work
building up big show. The facilities of
Maplewood Park are good, and additions
IN the line Of stalls, pens, exhibition
buildings, etc, ETC., are being made, and
all details essential to the comfort of a
vast number Of people and livestock are
being carefully attended to. The Main e
Central Railroad will convey stock and
exhibits free, and the other railroads in
the State have agreed to charge only half
rates. Premiums to the amount of 500
GEO have been offered, and premium lists
will be sent on application. Names in
terest in fairs has been increasing within
the past few years, and her late exhibit
tons have been among the finest in New
England. This season, having the New
England Society in its midst, it should be
assumed that an agricultural exhibition
Will be brought about which shall eclipse
anything in similar line The Pine Tree
State ever saw, and put to blush all pre-
decess0rs born to the New England So

The Panama Canal.

THE VARIED TRADE WHICH MUST IN TIME
FLOW THROUGH IT.
Ever since Nunes de Balboa first sight
ed the Pacific, the idea of a waterway
between the tw oceans has been run
ming in the busy brains of men and so
convinced was fernando Cortez of the
feasibility of the project, that he is
said to have selected Ian d in the vicinity
of the proposed route across Tehuan-
tepec, in the hope of profting by the
"boom" which he thought was not quite
so distant as it has proved to be. Event
ually, no doubt, says the London Stand
ard, there will be several competing
railroads across the continent, though
less than % years ago so shrewd a man
as Gen. Sherman declared that, if he
bought a ticket for his grandson, he
would be in good time for the run to San
Francisco, By that time, however, there
will be room for all OF them, since one
can scarcely doubt that the trade across
the iSthmus will even exceed that at
present conveyed through the Suez
Canal. The goods which are discharged
on the wharf at Colon afford an inkling
of what the future canal will carry. Here
are bales of Cinchona bark from the in
terror, ceroons of indigo and cochineal
from San Salvador and Guatemala, coffee
from Costa RIGA, and cocoa from Ecua-
dor, sarsapariila from Nicaragua and
ivory nuts from Portobello, copper ore
from Bolivia, silver bars from Chill, boxes
of hard dollars from Mexico, hides from
the north and south Pacific coasts, and
pearl shells from the bay of Panama, with
beef, -four and cheese from all the world
on the other side of the isthmus while
herd of meek looking llamas on their way
from Peru to Cuba suggest strange re-
Elections on the changes that have come
over the isthmus since Balboa first cross
ed it with his fiery followers. The fever
ish gold-diggers of 35 years ago could
have little toreseen this day and even
Damper, when he pictured the busy
scene as the "plate ships come in with
the Kings treasure" might have regard
ed as a dream the idea of 10000 men
digging a navigable ditch from Colon
westward. 1t will, nevertheless, be done,
though in Panama there is no forced
labor as in Egypt, no imperial packing,
no powerful ruler ready to obey every
request of NJ. de Lesseps. Only it may
save disappointment to reme mber that
to cut through ridge of rock mile long
and 200 feet high, and to turn the course
of a river which carries torrent four
times the volume of the Thames, is not a
task which can be undertaken with a
light heart; nor is it likely to be accom-
pllshed within so short a period as three
years.

On Mount McGregor
JULY %, 1885.

The April skies were fierce as flame.
Nor smiled with fearful pity.
When in his iron hand he clasped
The acknowledgement city.
And said, when doubtful victory seemed,
At best, tardy conner,
"We'll fight it out upon this line,
Though it should take all summer"
So, now, with stern, unbending will,
With lips that never falter,
The grand old hero fought the foe
Who gives no kindly quarter.
Alas. alas the fight is fought;
He lies in deadly rigor
Beneath the dreary fringe of pines
That droop DER Mount McGregor.
But, reddening with the risen sun
That gilds these pines with glory.
The long, long record of the past
Bursts with its wondrous story;
The battles roar, by leagured fort,
With martial music blending,
10 weave from out the hero's deeds
The requiem of his ending;
To tell how at the conf cts close,
With kindly words caressng,
Ger broken bayonets, he breathed.
In benson and blessing;
And babe them take the team again,
And part for home and duty,
To bid the sad earth smile once more,
And bloom again in beauty.
Peace. comrades on the other side.
No cOnquering Alexander,
A Christian hero, tried and true
He comes, your old commander!
While we. who stand with arms reversed,
Behind yon snow-whte pillow,
Can only watch. and wait. and weep.
And wear the lonely willow
O. Brothers of the sunny south,
Through all this sultry weather
1t seems a time for clasping hands
And shedding tears together.
If Lee had lived, his friendly heart,
His spirit true and gcuder.
Would bid him share the bitter grief
OF this, the last surrender.
Poor widowed queen, enthroned in grief
For England's saddast sorrow,
Your words may fash beneath the sea
TO heavy hearts tomorrow.
Though here no nation sits in shame,
In sackcloth and in ashes,
But hears the boom of minute guns.
And sees their fitfu flashes.
Meath summer suns. in years to come,
Ger blasts of icy rigor,
As pilgrims pale, the crowds may climb
The heights of Mount McGregor.
But WASHINGTON. the place he loved,
Stands stretching shapely, eager arms
To give her hero shelter;
To give him place who loved her best,
Where pilgrim feet may find him;
Her snowy dome before his face,
Her grdled groves behind him.
As once before he marshaed here,
With bayonets and banners,
His mighty hosts, be comes to rest
Mid kindly men and manners"
set Us have peace - the soldier said;
For all who chose to sean it
There beat warm and kindly heart
Beneath thai breast Of granite.
Gods peace be on her widowed head
Who weeps in stricken sorrow;
On ali the hearts that greve for CRANE,
Tomorrow and Tomorrow
