How Long an Ad.srtI.smen, Serves.

Lewiston Me- Journnl-l
One of Commissioner Hams adyen-
lures at New Orleans is related by him
as follows:
"a little thing that made a great i'm
preston on me when | was a lad was an
advertisement in rhyme, printed in Tho
Maine Farmer when it was published at
Winthrop by DIR. Holmes. 1t ran as
follows:

That couplet has come to me a hun
bred times in the course of my life.
With Mr.. Whitman | was not acquainted,
and IL was such a simple thing that |
don't see how il became so fixed in my
memory. One February day, at New
Orleans, while my thoughts were far
away from Winthrop, a ine-looking,
elderly gentleman, apparently about 10
years Of age, came into the Maine head
quarters.
"'Are you from Mainel / asked, as
| asked scores Of people. .

Grave. Of tho Early chrI.tIan..

An ancient burying ground was re-
Gently unearthed in Paris while digging
a trench in tho Rue Salande. The collins
Of stone and plaster found there have
been traced to the seventh, eighth and
ninth centuries. They were pointed to
the east and had crosses inscribed on a
circle, symbolical Of eternity, and other
emblems Of Christianity. The collins
were found filed with dirt, their covers
having given way.

The WOnleEA.

The combination of attractions, the
Canary, Livesey and Gilmore trio,
gave another of their wonderful
tx ambitions last evening, at the Will
mington rink, before an audience
uunbering over 900 persons, who
showed their appreciation OF the ex-
hibiCoD given by literally applauding
the several participants. The skatorial
artists ialily trled TO outdo their
Thursday evening performance, and
things That appeared almost impossible
to be done on rollers were accomplished
by these artists with apparent ease.
Their movements were grace and ease,
themselves.
But when W. J Canary made his ap-
pearance with his bicy Gle, the room
fairly echoed with applause, AZ nearly
half OF those present. mad witnessed his
wonderful performance on the wheel.
He r; peated about the same fsats as on
the preceding evening that is, he
la. a.anced himself, stood up with one
foot on the saddle and the other foot on
the handle, rode IL standing, laying
down on his back, backwards, sideways,
with both legs on the treadle, then he
propelled it with one hand in, fact rode
1t in nearly every conceivable way.
His riding the large wheel alone made
the audience open their eyes, and the
young bicyclists went nearly wild with
admiration.
To wind up his many astounding
feats, he rode q wooden wheel from one
OF nur shops. He stood with both feet
on the hub, propelling the wheel and
guiding it at the same time with
both hands. They give another
exhibition this evening, and we think
arc really wo tn seeing as wonders
in the amusement line.

Where It Is Better to BE q Pauper Than q
Millionaire.
Enfield, Conn, is the most conserve
tive and most charitable town in the
State. So when the State Board of
Charities said she treated the poor the
best of any in the State, it is not to be
wondered at. Nineteen paupers live
like princes now in that Poor-house
and drive out behind pair of fine
steeds when they get chance. Their
quarters are on one of the pleasantest
spots in the town. A house with every
convenience gives them three square
meals day and furnished room and
warm bed to every several one at night,
while eighty acres of good land afford
exercise for those who are able
to take it. The men and women
eat at separate tables food made
from the best provisions in market.
and each drinks big bowl of coffee or
tea at every meal. Most are too old to
work. so they gather in different rooms,
well heated and furnished, and gable
the hours away. Nearly all use tobacco
in some form, and the town INDUCES
this petty weakness by allowing each
twenty cents worth a month. They
are all ducked in a bathtub once a
week, too, and made to keep them
selves tidy. No wonder their eyes gaze
toward this haven. and that when one
gets about so old. weary and neglected. he
seeks refuge there, where three sumptu-
Gus repasts each day are served, fol-
lowed by dreamy smoke and gurg-
lings of "reminiscences of eighty years
or more of active life. Many who have
money prefer this place to any other,
and so give it to the town to support
them.-M T. Post.

While the well-known saying that a

on what an American housewife throws

lies where waste can be i'll afforded, it
is also true that, in eight eases out of
ten. this RELOCATION of cold bits to the
offal pail or ash barrel is not caused so
much bv extravaganza as by lack of
knowledge of how to dispose of them
in any other way. The dainty utiliza-
ton of scraps is a subject that well re-
pays the thoughtful study of any
housewife, and even the least original
cook can often ''evolve from her inner
consciousness an appetizing dish from

richer in their exposures, more conclu-
sIve than anything produced against
Tweed or against Dorsey, yet Frye, who
was parfaceps erinainis, is Senator from
Maine, and Blaine is the recognized
leader of his party.
President Cleveland has recently ap-
pointed to Office man from Maine
who is just now Democrat. His prin-
cipal claim to support, and it is q strong
one, Is that he Is an opponent of Blaine
and has incurred his displeasure. Per-
haps he has done or countenanced &C
tons which elsewhere would not be
commended, but as he lives in Maine,
under the corrupting influences of a
Blaine-Frye dynasty. he should be
judged charitably. By the appoint
ment he is removed from the impure
atmosphere of Maine, and is thus given
time for repentance.
Blaine and Frye still feel that they
are entitled to some consideration from
this Administration, and expected by
bargaining and intrigue to keep all their
enemies out of Office.
This expectation has been disappoint-
ed. Mr.. Cleveland has actually ap-
pointed man from Maine to office with
out consulting Frye. This is taken as
declaration of independence on the
part of Mr.. Cleveland, and Frye retorts
that Secretary Lamar is bloody hand.
ed murderer. that he has murdered ten
thousand men in Mississippi. and after
this actually stole the vote of the State.
efr Frye should have made this dis
covery during the campaign; it would.
if substantiated, have been worth ten
thousand votes in New York. where
they would have done most good.
He should have detected this mon
strous CRIME before he voted to confirm
the nomination of Mr.. Lamar as Secre-
tary of the Interior. 1t is difficult to
conceive how a man so sensitive as Mr..
Frye can reconcile to his conscience his
action in putting into an office a man
who has slain his ten thousand.
The indications are that the day for
the ascendancy of the Maine gang, or
of those who depend on methods which
distinguish them, has passed. Politics
will hereafter be less of trade and
more of science, and let US hope that
even in Maine men like Frye and Blaine
will be relocated to private life
