THEAERMlT OF cAsco BAY.
A Short History of the Uneventfui Life
of Bob Harrington.
squirrel Island squid. ]


For many years old Bob Harrington was
known as the hermit of Bushy Clapboard
Island in Casco Bay. Bob is dead now.
When he was a young man he was hale
and hearty sailor-as tough and daring
sailor as ever straddled a yard He got a
wife and a schooner and lost both One re-
verse followed another. Everything he
touched seemed to wither. He made several
gallant attempts to down his evil genius, but
there was no such thing as good luck for
him. He lost heart grew sour and grabbed
and disgusted.
Retreating to Bushy Clapboard Island, he
dug in the side of mound habitation 1t
was little less clammy than tomb and not
quite so home-like as a cellar. 1t was mere
hole in the ground with few boards thrown
over it. Warm in the winter and cool
enough in the summer Bob found it very
comfortable and congenial place; and here
he lived for years, almost as far out of the
world as if he had died-digging clans,
catching fish and Holsters, picking berries
the sole denizen and lord paramounto of Bushy
Clapboard Thus a gentleman who knew
Bob well, tells his story
There lived in Falmouth friendless old
woman who was the counterpart of Bob in
the opposite sex. Children were afraid Of
her and called her MOL, the Witch.'' She
was scraggy and ugly and poor, living in an
old house by herself, nobody knew how
One day man who knew Bob happened to
think, upon seeing Mol, that she would
make pretty good companion for the lord
Of Bushy Clapboard, and he hailed her. He
asked her if she would not like to have a
husband, and she intimated that such luxu-
ry. would be agreeable to her He then sub
mltted his scheme that she should set her
cap for Bob and transform the island from
an hermitage to an Eden. He carried her to
BuShy Clapboard in his boat and presented
her Beb,-Ihey were mutually pleased.
and Bob decided that he had been a hermit
long enough.
So he took her to wife. She lived with
him until he died. He dug fewer CLANS af-
ter the marriage. He left such matters to
Mol, and she was frequently seen, elbow
deep, in the clam beds. Bob made baskets
and compounded ink. These wares Moll
peddled for him in Portland. She was a very
dutiful and serviceable spouse, but the Juice
of human kindness had been squeezed out of
Bob. He had no more affection than a
sponge. One day, the man who brought Bob
his wife sailed up to the island, and pretend
ing to be stranger, said to Bob:
:. ,,Halloo! l see you have woman. Where
did you get her?"
The Lord sent her, said Bob, "and |
wish the devil would take her.

widow has not been taken any further than

LAID TO REST.

All that is mortal of the saviour of the re-
public has gone from human sight forever.
A sorrowing nation has paid its last tribute
of respect and affection to the earthly taber-
nacle in which once dwelt the spirit of the
great leader whose genius and courage pre-
served the nation. 1t has been said that
republics are ungrateful The anxious So
licitude with which for months the Amer
ican people listened for messages from the
sick room of the dying hero, hoping
against hope for some word of encour-
agement, the shock Of sadness that affect
ed the heart of every American when the
tolling bell announced that the struggle was
over and that Death had triumphed, and fl
nally the imposing and impressive cere-
monies with which his mortal remains
were committed to their last resting place,
while hundreds of thousands of his country
men throughout the length and breadth of
the land were listening to eulogies upon his
character and career, testify to the falsity of
that reproach.
tomb, and as its portals closed forever, both
turned away with hearts heavy with sadness.
OF what other of the worlds great command
ers can it be said that the men he conquered
in life gathered at his grave to do him honor?
Long after the pomp and circumstance of
Saturdays ceremonies have faded, the pic
ture of the men from the North and the men
from the South, the conquerors and the con-
quered, standing in silence around the grave
OF the great commander will remain fresh in
memory and on the page of history will ever
stand out as the most impressive feature of
the ceremonial.
With the closing of the portals of the
tomb in Riverside Park Gen Grant passes
into history. His earthly career is COM
pleted, the record is fully made up and the
Judgment of his contemporaries is pro-
nounced. The judgment of posterity, who
can view his character and career more calm
ly and dispassionately than is possible for
his contemporaries, is yet to come Can we
doubt that it will be as favorable as that of
today? Has the fame of Washington, the
father of his country, grown dim with the
lapse of years? Is the martyred Lincoln
less venerated today than when his mortal
remains were borne to their last resting place
twenty years ago? The Judgment of his
tory when in life has not abated one lot
or little from the respect and admiration
in which both of them were held. On the
contrary their fame has grown brighter and |
clearer with the advancing years. Can we |
doubt that similar fate awaits the great |
whose sword preserved the |
nation which Washington established and |
enforced the freedom which Lincoln pro-
claimed?

1t seems to be pretty evident that if Gen.
Grant is ever to have a monument BETTING
his fame, most of the money to build it must
come from some other source than New York
city or State. AT last accounts only about
$4,000 had been raised in the metropolis,
and the contributions from other cities have
been meagre. Up to Saturday only one con-
tribution of any considerable amount-$100
had been made in Albany If the contri-
buttons were slow last week, they are likely
to be slower this week and in every succeed
ing week. The promise of the New York pa

The Argus thinks upon the face of the
case, the most natural conclusion is that
Dunton is suffering for a crime which he did
not commit, and that the Republican post
master recommended his appointment to
make amends for the wrong thus done him,
and also persuaded 101 citizens of Lincoln
vile likewise to ask for the appointment Of
the innocent man." Dunton plead guilty of
embezzlement in the United States Court.
According to our esteemed contemporary the
''most natural conclusion" from this fact is
that he is guiltless.
