The New England FAIR.
PROPOSITION TO HOLD THE NEXT FAIR IN

PROPOSITION TO HOLD THE NEXT FAIR IN
BANGOR.
At the recent meeting of the New England
Agricultural Society in Boston, the Maine mem
bers urged that the next fair be held in Bangor,
in connection with the Eastern State Fair. The
matter rests with the executive committee.
Hon. Fred Atwood, Of Wnterport addressed
the association as follows:
| feel as though it would hardly be wise or
proper for citizen of Maine to speak, but
am very sorry the honorable gentlemen from
Worcester feel so i'll towards the poor city of
Bangor. L have been up to the city of w orces-
ter and have been treated very kindly indeed,
and by no gentleman in Worcester more so
than by eX-Mayor Pratt We have always
been treated finely in Manchester. The gentle

that has treated the Fairs that have been held
in Maine more literally than the Maine Cen

has been due to the railroad and steamboat
Fines iii that State. The city of Bangor has IA
population Of about 10000; She has a line of
railroad now that reaches to Bar Harbor, and

The Graveyard OF Armies.
lChicago Herald.l

lChicagO Herald
The section of the globe now men,
aced with the scourge of war is already
the graveyard of armies The countries
south of the Danube have drank up the
blood of countless hosts. Persians and
Greeks, Romans, Florentines, Vene-
tians, Slaves, Austrians, Huns, Turks,
Russians and Tartars have laid down
their lives by the hundreds of thousands
in that peninsula. Every town has
had its seige, every plain its battle, and
every cragged mountain pass its strug-
gle and sacrifice. From Thermopylse
To Shipka more than 1000 years of
blood interviewed, but nothing that has
occurred in all that time has sufficed to
curb the beligerency of man, and he
clamors for war to-day the same as lie
did when Jason and the Argonauts set
out for the Golden Fleece. Yet war is
admittedly the most direful of human
evils. Ii wastes and destroys. Ii is
cruel, bloodthirsty, savage. 1t kills and
mains men, and fills the land with
widows and orphans. Sometimes
righteous, ii is generally causeless and
useless. Voltaire describes 1t as the
slaughter of thousands that few may
have monuments.

RemnrkRble Ancient Ruins

The chihuahua (Mexico) ENTERPRISE
reports the discovery of some remark
bie ancient ruins on a hill or mountain
four leagues south of Magdalena, i'm So
nora The hill is about 700 feet biyh.
and halfway up there is layer of gyp-
sum, which is as white as snow, and
may be cut into any conceivable shape,
yet sufficiently hard to retain its shape
after being cut. In this layer of stone
are cut hundreds upon hundreds Of
rooms from 10 to Is x Is feet square.
so even and true are the walls, floor,
and ceiling, so plump and level, as to
defy variation. There are no windows
in the rooms, and but one entrance,
which is always from the top. The
rooms are but eight feet high from floor
to ceiling. The stone is 80 white that
1t seems almost transparent, and the
rooms are not at all dark. On the walls
OF these rooms are numerous hero
glyphics and representations of human
beings cut in the stone in different
places, but, strange to say, all the hands
have five fingers and thumb, and the
feet have six toes. Charcoal is found
on the floors of many of the rooms i'm
plements of every descriptions are to
be found. The houses or rooms are one
above the other to three or more stories
high, but between each story there is a
jog or recess the full width of the room
below, so that they present the appear
ance of large steps leading up the noun

Measuring Time.


1t Is great advantage to man to
be able to measure the power of time.
There are many tasks too great for the
moment, which may, or may not be
too great for a month or year. Hap
py is he who knows from the start
what tasks it is hopeless for him to pur-
sue, and what other tasks he may hope
to accomplish in given time. The
art of measuring the power of time is
one which every man can learn, and
one which he will be repaid for learn
ing. When one has attained that
familiarity with his own rate of work
ing, that he can tell whether he will
not be able to do a given task i'm fifty
years, or whether he may expect to
accomplish it in five, he is i'm a position
to save himself much fruitless labor, and
to concentrate all his effort upon what
is actually practicable. This is a large
share of the secret success i'm any sphere
of working.

PUSH.

Ii there was more push i'm the world
there would be fewer hungry, hall
clothed, homeless, suffering children
fewer broken-down, dissipated men
and women; less need of alm-houses,

Push means a lift for neighbor in
trouble. Push means a lift for your
self out of the slough of dependency
and shiftlessness, out of trouble, real
and fancied. Push never hurts any
body. The harder the push the better,
If it is given in the right direction.
Always push up-hill-few people need
push down hill. Don't be afraid OF
your muscles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don't be afraid OF
your hands, they were meant for serv-
ice. Don't be afraid of what your
companion may say. Don't be afraid
of your conscience il will never re-
proach you for good deed-but push
with all your heart, might and soul,
whenever you see anything or anybody
that will be better for a good, long,
strong, determined push.
Push 1t is just the word for the
grand, clear morning of life 1t is just

WASHINGTON DEC. llth, lSS5.-Since
| wrote you the Forty-Ninth Congress
has begun its first session. Its opening
scenes did not differ widely from those
of past sessions. As usual, throngs OF
people rushed to the Capitol and crowd.
ed the spectators galleries. AS usual
hundreds went away disappointed una
BILE TO get in.
On the floor of the House there were
one hundred and forty new faces and
one hundred and eighty-five familiar
ones. The desks of members were
loaded with floral gifts from admiring
friends, and Mr.. Carlisle i'm the Speak
er's chair welded the gavel, and swore
in the members as they stood in a semi
circle around the bar, in groups OF
twenty and thirty.
In the Senate, the old familiar faces
were for the most part at their accus-
toned desks. On the Democratic side
Of the Chamber, however, some changes
were noted. Senator Voorhees,, of In
diana, was at the desk long occupied
by Secretary Bayard. Senator Walt
hall, of Mississippi, sat in Secretary La
mars former seat, aud Senator Jones, OF
Arkansas, was in possession of the desk
that Attorney General Garland gave
up for a Cabinet portfolio. The Cham
ber was draped in mourning for Mr..
Hendricks, and Senator Sherman sat
In the late Vice Presidents chair.
The first roll call reyealed but five
absentees In the House; four from the
South and one from the North. An
unusually good showing for the new
body.
The present Congress bids fair to be
a memorable one. 1t assembled under
circumstances fraught with significance
and expectation. For the first time in
twenty-five years there is Democrat.
ic House and a Democratic president
and the party is changed with the re.
sponsibility growing out of this con.
junction.
There is much important work ahead
for the session, such as revising the tar.
iff, suspending the coinage of silver
making n navy, providing for the coast
defence. regulating the counting of the
electoral vote, settling the presidential
succession, and reducing Government
expenses.
President Cleveland's first messag,
was listened to with unusual Interest
IN both ends Of the Capital. 1t is still
the chief topic of discussion here. Il
is pronounced an able state paper 10y
many Senators and members who ar,
antagonistic to its policy. During tn,

one hour and three quarters, the senti
ments of many Congressman on tn,

an evil, exchanged mods of approval
while the believers i'm silver scOwled anC
otherwise manifested their disapproba
ton. The Presidents positive stand OF
silver makes II almost certain now thai
this will be the first engrossing subject
to come before Congress. 1t will doubt
less provoke long debate, for the ad
vocates OF silver coinage and its enc
mies are both determined.
