In my neighborhood, writes 8 Du Page
County correspondent OF the Prairie Farmsr,
there is quite a contest every spring TO see
who can get the first peas for the table. With
one neghbor the contest generally ends
when he gets the seed into the ground. He
has an exceedingly favorable soil in a very
warm location at the south side OF the bsra
where the sun shines from early morning un-
III evening. Last spring his peas were 10 a
wook or so before ours. This served his pur.
pose, but he got few peas and those little. ii
any, in advance OF ours, for he neglected
them, and the weeds soon hid and ohoked
them. We waited until the soil co. we'll
warmed up. Then they advanced rapidly.
The Prairie Farmer suggests that those desir-
bors in the earliness OF their peas
can frat start them in boxes. and transplant
them to the garden, II they do il with
extreme care. A reliable correspondent OF
the Husbandmau last year placed peas in a
box OF moist sand in the green. house. They
promptly sprouted, and, when the shoots
were half an inch or so long, the box was re-
moved TO cool part OF the CELLAR. More
than two weeks later the seed sprouts were
taken one by one from the box and carefully
planted in an adjoining row. He planted
an equal number OF unsprouted seeds taken
from the same package. The plants from
the sprsuied seeds produced pods fit for use
eight days earlier than those from the IN.
sprouted ones. He noticed no difference In
the vigor or prodnctiveness of the two rows.
The sprouted seeds vegetated very nearly ~
we'll rs the others. Those not having green
hous1s may TRIP the experiment Dy planting
in moist sand and keeping the box ia q
warm room in the house. Our Du Page
County friend may by this method beat the

Exit, the CaStine Gazette.

Last weeks issue of the Castine Gazette contains
the valodictory of Miss Louise Wheeler with an
announcement that the paper will hereafter be
published at Bucksport as the Buckspor Clipper.
Miss Wheeler conSratulates herself that the sub
scription list of the Gazette is larger than that of
any newspaper ever published in Castine, but says
the local advertising insufficient to warrant its
continuance. Thanking those who have aided and
encouraged her, She concludes:
In severing my connection with the Castine
paper | would say, that the words of commenda-
ton from intelligent people, and the pleasant
notices of other newspapers make ample amends
for the unkind surs made behind my back by
of my so-caHed friends in town. No favors
have been asked or expected by me on account oi
my sex, but have no doubt that the Gazette would
have met with more approval with some if it had
been edited by man.
Although there have been many trying things in
connection with editing the Gazette, there nave
been many pleasant things. Pleasantest of the
pleasant things has been the reading of my many
fine exchanges. 1t will be with regret that give
up the Portland Transcript Rockland Courier
Gazette, Belfast Republican Journal, the Ellsworth
American and others too numerous to mention.
This valedictory is supplemented by letter In
the Boston journal of Saturday last wherein Miss
Wheeler gives history of her experience in jour
nalism, with that of her late associate Miss Hooke.
The story is well-told, and we hope to repubsh it
illustrating what Maine girls can do, and have
done. We doubt if Miss Wheeler will ever have
cause to regret her attempt at journalism, but ii
was almost certain at the outset that her venture
would end as it has. The field is not large enough
even for a small paper, and the expense and labor
attending such publication is greater than most
people imagine. There are long established country
papers in Maine, as elsewhere, which look to their
job department as the main source of profit, and OF
late years they have had ruinous competition to
contend with in this direction from large es tablish.
ments in the cities. But it is no to point out
the difficulties in the way to the or woman
bent on starting newspaper.

Mr.. Herbert l.. sitleiuger, of Wyandutte Kansas,
who recently made brief visit TO his Old home in
Rockport is superintendent of the system of water
works by which the cities of Wyj,udotte and Arma-
dale are supplied. These are situated directly
opposite Kansas City, Missouri the former having
a population of 10000 and the latter one of 1000
The company which owns these works also owns
the works by which some twenty other cities and
villages are supplied with water The rates charged
at Wyandotte, given by Mr. s., seem to be
higher than those East. The city pays 800 per
hyirant. Private houses of five rooms pay 50, and
81 extra for every additional room; sink under
faucet, - extra, and other things proportioaaiiy
high. The scale of rates prepared for Belfast,
embedded in the terms offered by Kinds, Molett \
CO.. are moderate in comparison, but everything is
higherin the West Few places feel now, however,
that they afford to DO without water supply,
even if it is expensive. In this connection the fol
lowing from the Bangor Wing is Interesting: "As
showing the security against fire Afforded by the
Water Works we are informed that the average
annual losses by fire for the seven years previous
to the introduction OF Holly water was $4,000
While for the years following its Introduction
the average annual losses were less than $4,000, or
less than twenty per cent. of the previous amount"

SearsmOni's New Hotel.

1t was recently noticed in the journal that Sears
mont, among other improvements, has good hotel,
and we now take from the Camden Herald the fol-
lowing description of the Neyens House:
The Old Mcfarland hotel which, with Its open
fire, good food and beds had delighted so many a
weary traveller, has been moved back ana construct
ed into dining and cook room with nice chambers
above. The new part is two stories high, in which
are Office private sitting room, parlor, bedroom.
The cellar is an excellent one 10 feet deep. There
are six sleeping rooms i'll the new part and six IN
the OIL part, all constructed as to be commodious
airy and desirable. The supports of the Old, i'm
mcnsc chimney which was taken down, were four
twelve inch oak logs which were found to be sound
and of bright, beautiful grained wood. They were
into boards from which oak finish has been
obtained for the Office and private sitting room
which contrastcd with ash gives the rooms fine
appearance. The floors are of ash, hard pine and
birch Mr.. Nevens has good hotel and he and his
lady know how to run il in such way to deserve
success and we have no doubt win it. The house is
just receiving the paper and finishing touches of
paint. Another summer we predict they will have
a large run of company. Quantebacook lake is
beautiful sheet of water and is every year being
more and more admired.

Waldo County Educational Association.

This association held two DAYS session at the
town hall in Monroe, beginning Oct. II. The
meeting called to order by Vice Pres Run.
Ing by Fred Nickerson, of Swanve, was read by
Mrs. Nickerson. which occupied the forenoon ses-
sion. AT the afternoon session a paper by Miss
Lucia HASKELL Of Castine, was read by Miss sweet
SER of searsport, in which was shown the use of
the moulding board for teaching the Younger
scholars Geography. she said in teaching geog-
raphy by this method all that is needed i.
board, 2ON36 inches painted blue to represent the
water and place thereon sand in which the courses
of the rivers can be traced and the mountains can
be made. BY the use of the board younger scholars
VIII more readily comprehend than by the book
method. The next subject was "Schoo Festivals"
by Frank Dollih, of Casine, IN which was shown
that school festivals can be made a pleasant as
wei as profitable part on the programme. 'eIem-
peranee Instruction" by Hon. y. A. Luce was ably
handled He said it was the duty of every teacher
70 be thoroughly prepared to teach not only the
effect of alcoholic stimulants, but of narcotics of
all kinds, upon the human system, and urged that
teachers be prepared To teach orally well as by
the text book. Prof Foster, of Castine, read an
able paper on professional Reading" "What
may be Taught Outside of Text Books" was the
subject of the paper read by Miss D. Moore, of
Monroe, in which it was shown that it is essential
that the teacher should have general knowledge
other than is found in the text books. An able
paper written hy Prof. Woodbury., of Castine, was
read by Prof. Foster, who also read another by a
Mir. Ferguson. At the close of the session vote
Of thanks was returned to the citizens of Monroe,
for the generous entertainment given by them.

Johnson's Revolutionary Schemes.

Testimony corroboratve of Mr.. Depew's
ticed editorially in last weeks journal, has
been voluminous. In Offset there have only
been few disclaimers from Johnson's hang
ers-on, and from men who could not possibly
have known anything of his intentions. The
October number of the North American Re-
view, published long before these disclosures,
contains Letters and Recolectons of Grant,"
by Admiral Ammen, a close friend of Gen.
Grant from boyhood. Writing of events in
Washington in the autumn of 1867 Admiral
Ammen refers to Gen Sherman's arrival from
st. Louis and his reporting at Gen. Grants
house. He then says:
Later in the season, when from time to time
| was in Washington, General Grant kindly
invited me to a drive with him in his buggy,
and expressed at times great distrust of the in
tentlonS or rather designs of MIR. johnson. In
the autumn, in one of these drives. he said he
felt sure that nothing but the cowardice of the
President stood in the way of very serious
events. He had become aware of a secret
military organization in Maryland, and had ac-
curate Information at the time Of its ramitica-
lions through General -. The Governor Of
MARYLAND had made requistion on the war de-
partment for field artillery to which, under eX-
listing laws, the State was entitled but know
ing he did the intended revolutionary pur-
pose, he had simply pigeon-holed the requisi-
ton. For time be thought of writing the
Governor that be had his eye on him, but on
the whole he concluded not to do so. In Vir-
ginia, too, there We're signs of a support, but so
far no organization existed: the intention was

were no signs of disturbance.

The New Map of Waldo County.

No wonder Waldo county is kicking vigorously
at the new state atlas, if its inaccuracies are as
great as represented. With several villages in
their county left out. and a general wallzing
around and mixing up of the mountains and
streams-a sort of general decentralization of the
scenery, so to speak-it looks very much as though
the map makers were on an anti-Nea Dow vacation
when they wrestled with Waldo county, and the
Wadoers, or Wadonese, or Wadgeese, whichever
they NAV prefer be called, had valid reasons for
playing mule on the agent of the atlas.
There are plenty of mountains and things in
Waldo county that might be transposed or trans
ported, to advantage, and certain villages might be
abolished with excellent effect. The trouble is
that these sensitive Belfasters prefer to do their
own elimination and annihilation, rather than
intrust the performance to an irresponsible map
juggler Anyone can see that in wipng out whole
villages too much care can not be taken to make
the best possible selection. lGardiner Home Jour
nal.
Our Gardiner contemporary should come over
here and get acquainted. Meanwhile if he will
kindly point out the "mountains and things in
Waldo county that might be transposed or trans
ported to advantage" and the villages that "might
be abolished with excellent effect" we will see
what can be done towards making the county more
agreeable to him.

The November Elections.

The State elections Tuesday resulted about
as expected. The Democratic States went
Democratic and the Republican States went
Republican. The only surprise is in New York,
and that should not be much of a surprise con-
siderng the facilities for manufacturing Demo-
cratic majorities in New York city The Demo-
Gratis seem to have stuffed the ballot boxes
jority in the State. Carr, Republican candidate
for Lieut.. Governor, is probably elected, and
Jones he pays the freight up Salt River.
General Robert Z. Lees saddle will no doubt
be the next Governor of Virginia, and Demo-
crat be sent to the Senate in place of Malone.

up to the hour of going to press.
