Lansing Mills, widely known from his
connection with the Central Vermont rail-
road, died at his residence in Mills, Mass,
on the 9th inst, from paralysis of the
heart. He was a native of Lansingburgh,
N. Y. In early life he was engaged in
general trade and subsequently was a
contract for building railroads, and in
the early days of the Vermont Central he
became connected with the line as trans
pOrtation and ticket agent, residing for a
time at st. Adams. His business ability
soon advanced him to the general manage
ment Of the road. He was most active in
securing for this line share in the trans
portation business between the West and
East, and in the development of those IA
cilities showed marked ability. He was
one Of the founders of the National De-
spatch line. The recent settlement of the
complications Of the Central Vermont,
upon the present basis, found in Mr.. Mills
an untiring advocate. He leaves a wild

In view of the demand that is like
ly to be made on the militia strength
of the Dominion before the present
campaign it will be of interest to
note the ability of Canada to cope
with the present trouble. She had
on hand, strength of active militia,
on the 31st of December last, includ-
ing all branches, 37,03G men. The
officers and men composing this force
are distributed among twelve military
districts. The cavalry force in the
cities is composed of 525 officers and
men, including cavalry school corps
of 43, and that in rural districts OF
1,462, making total of 1887. The

The decrease in the national debt
for the month of March was small,
amounting to only $4S3, 900, and the
monthly debt statement is something
of a curiosity, owing to the new
methods adopted by the treasury de-
partment on the recommendation of
expert Jordan. 1t is much more in
detail than was the old form, and
makes several important changes in
the classification of certain items.
One hundred millions in gold coin
are set aside for the redemption of
legal tenders, and the available as
sets are still further diminished by
the removal of $31, 100000 in frac-
tional silver and minor coins from
that column. This leaves an appar-
.ent excess of available assets over
demand liabilities of only S22 ,250, ZOO
instead of $153, 900, 900, as indicated
in the old statement. The new meth
cd is merely a matter of form, and If
it's adoption is permanent the public
will soon become accustomed to the
change.

of the drag

Grant dictated a bulletin Sunday
in which he thanked the public for
it's sympathy and said he desired "the
good will of all, friends or not He
certainly has it. If he could read
the southern expressions of sympathy
and admiration he would die, as no
great hero ever has before, in the
conviction that the foes of his battle
days are the friends of his old age.
A Columbia, S. c., paper says edito-
rally:
s'While the old soldier lies gasping
in his last struggle with the foe who
overcomes all, the South forgets
many things. She remembers only
Grant the generous, Grant the victor
at Appomattox."
To crown all, it was announced on
Monday that Grant had received a
letter of sympathy and regard from
Jefferson Davis. In it the latter
says that if the prayers of the South
could avail Gen. Grant would conquer
death as he did his foes twenty years
ago. There is something wonderful
ly touching in this act of the old con-
federate president. Perhaps the
thought that in few years all who
fought in that terrible struggle will
have passed from this life to one
where the bitterness of human pas
sions shall have no place, has come
like a benediction to the country, and
as Grant lies dying the North and
South together join hands like tireG
boys around his bedside and weeE
over the weary, blighting war which
so long destroyed their fraternity.

Cures n Terrible Case of Gravel When Other

hENNEDA'S FAfORlTE REMEDY
Cures Terrible Case of Gravel When Other
Help Failed.
What is Gravel? what causes it, and who are
most liable to it? 1t is frequently attended with
pain, and unless relief can be found produces
inflammation and death. Both sexes and all ages
are liable to it, although men who have reached or
passed middle age are its most common victims
Nothing is urgently needed than a reliable
medicine for Gravel, as the disease seems on the
increase, and glad to say that such a specific
is now before the public in the FORM of DIR. DAVID
KENNEDY'S FANORITE REMEDY, of Rom
dout, n. Y. We put in evidence the following let
ter, selected from many similar communications:

ly slight attack of Gravel in the year 1878. 1t
passed away. and had little trouble until last
July, 1888. One day when at work in my shop l
was suddenly seized with keen and terrible pain
in my left side L consulted two physicians at once.
One said: 81 can do nothing for you. Your case is
incurable!'' 1 was frightened and went 10 the sec
ond who said little, but gave prescription. 1t
did good. Then began a series of experiences
the agony and horror of which words cannot depict.
Think of it! was sometimes taken in the street,
and would fall, writhing with agony, upon the side
walk. 1t was death in life. Thank heaven, / then

bottle when passed three stones in succession, one
of which was nearly oneh half an inch long. / per-

bingham Celebrates Its 25oth An
niversary.

HINGHAAI, Mass, Sept. 15.-The cere-
monies of the celebration of the 250th an
niversary of the settlement'of this town be-
gan at sunrise this morning with the BOOM
ing of cannon and the ringing of bells.
Many houses in town were decorated with
bunting. The birth place of Gen. Lincoln of
revolutionary fame was marked by flag
bearing the words, '"Thomas Lincoln, 1885, /"
The birth place of Major General Benjamin
Lincoln has been in the family 249 years.
Others of the older houses are marked with
appropriate inscriptions. At nine there were
open air concerts in Fountain Square and in
front of the meeting house at South Hing
ham. At ten o'clock the school children
were assembled in Fountain Square under
charge of A. P. Soule, superintendent of the
public schools, and they sang several popular
airs. Half an hour later a procession was
formed under Chief Marshal Colonel
Hawkes.. The procession was headed by
band and included the Humphrey post of
the Grand Army and Ex-Governor Long,
president of the day. Solomon Lincoln,
orator of the day, the town officers of Hing
ham aud Cohasset, the first corps of cadets
escorting Gov. Robinson, distinguished
guests, members of the legislature, pupils of
public and private schools, survivors of the
military escort at the celebration 80 years
ago and 1.-THE fire department of the town.
They moved to the old meeting house where
the exercises proper were held. Ex-Gov.
Long presided and made brief address.

set and singing by the congregation of a
hymn Mr. Lincoln delivered his Grafton after
which the congregation sang America and
were dismissed with the benediction by Rev.
Henry M. Dean.

The Manufacture of Plush.

The manufacture of plush, which has
hitherto been made exclusively in foreign
countries, has recently been begun by firm
in Pawtucket, r. L. A start was made four
years ago, but only within few months have
the goods been put on the market. More
than three years were spent in experiment.
ing insmachinery, and even yet the business
is not entirely perfected. New methods ara
constantly being adopted and fresh improve
ments made The company was hindered in
its enterprise by ignorance Of even the kind
of machinery employed in this branch Of
manufacture across the water. A represent
tative of the firm was sent to Europe, when
the project was first formed, but he experi-
enced great difficulty in obtaining admission
to the plush mills, and in many cases. was
completely unsuccessful. Almost the only
result OF his trip was the purchase of plush
loom, and few stray ideas obtained under
the greatest difficulty. This loom was shipped
at once to Pawtucket and experiments were
begun upon it. These extended over more
than three years, and are still being carried
on. Flattering success has attended.this ex-
perimenting. From this single piece of ma
chinery the whole system of manufacture
had to be evolved. But the loom has been inn
proved upon, the other necessary machinery
has been worked out and constructed, and in
many respects the new methods are claimed
to surpass in nicely and utility those of the
foreign manufacturers. All this work has
been carried ON with closed doors, and even
now none but employees of the firm are per-
mltted Within the rooms where the weaving
and finishing of the plush is performed 81
carefully was the secret guarded, so QUIETLY
the work of experimenting and perfectinS
carried on, that no one outside the firm was
aware OF the new industry that was being de-
veloped until the fabric was placed in the

THE PURITAN AND cENEsTA.
Gossip About Mondays and Today's
Racaa

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Capt. Joe Els
worth, who was on board of the Puritan yes
day, said, after the race was over: 81 don't
think we have any sure thing at all in sail
ing against that boat; she's a terror. She
was not far behind us when we got into the
point of the Hook, but we were able, by pull
ing the centre-board up little, to skim
and so gained on her in working up to buoy
No. 81, but if there is strong breeze in the
race of Wednesday, twenty miles to wind
ward, it will be a very close thing between
that cutter and the Puritan" Mr.. Tams,
the chairman Of the committee, said that in
the breeze outside the Hook the Genesta
sailed very much better than he had any
idea she would. He thought the race be-
tween the two on Wednesday would be a
close one, and no one can tell with any GER
tainty the result.
Yesterdays victory of the Puritan over
the Genesta has increased the interest in the
international contest ten-fold Those who
were in doubt about the final result are re-
assured, and many who hesitated about max
ing wagers are now betting heavily on the
Puritan for the winner in tomorrow's race,
no matter what weather she may encounter.
At the hotels, clubs and in theatre lobbies
tonight the prominent topics of conversation
are the details of yesterdays race, and the
possibilities in the outside contest of 40 miles
tomorrow. The English ensign fioated all
day from the fiagpole of the New York Yacht
Club house on Madison Avenue in Difference

Genesta's yoke" into which the heel OF the

his professorship in the college. DR.. Car
michael came to Bowdoin in 1873, from Iowa
College, and the term of his service has been
exceeded in length by that of only one or
two of the gentlemen now on the Faculty.
He has been acknowledged from the first to
be one of the ablest and foremost of the sci

tensiye learning and researches have not
been without practical advantage to himself
and the public as is shown by the valuable
patents which he holds and is interested In.
His retirement from his duties, and it is also
understood from Brunswick, causes much re-
gret. His place is to be for the present sup
piled by Mr.. C. G. Hutchins, late of Leices-

has distinguished himself by his aptitude for
the natural sciences and by original work of
