Regiment will hold reunion under the
auspices OF the Fifteenth Maine Regiment
al Association Organized at Portland In
Aug. 1881 during the week OF the Nation
al Encampment in Portland 10 June next,

members of the Association or not-wlll at
once communicate their address to the
President OF the Association, Maj II. A..
Shorey, Portland, Me-, that they may re-
ceive full particulars concerning the pro-
posed reunion. With the exception Of the
informal gathering in 1881 NJ which the as
sociation was organized, attended by about
Atty members, the survivors Of this Regi-
ment have rot heen together since the mus.
ter-out In July OF 1865. The Rcgimental
history covers period Of four years AID
seven months, and the proposed re-union
cannot fail to waken lively interest on the
part of every member Of the "Old Fiji

1.-THE Yell of PUBLICITY"

The Lewiston journal Friday had five
columns of small type descriptive Of the
Italian murderers and their hanging. Edi-
torlally the Journal says:
The execution at Thomaston to-day, was
strictly private, and over the CHASTITY de-.
tails sac enough to read, the veil Of public
ity in so far, is very properly drawn. The
last public execution In Maine occurred 26
years ago in Auburn, and, doubtless, 1t
will ever continue to be the last tragedy OF
the kind enacted before thousands OF spec
tators in Maine. In such cases. seeing Is
not needful to believing.
We are unable to discern how'the public
CAL be in any wise more badly affected by
seeing such sight than it will be by read
ing such description as the Journal gives
under startling headlines. The Journal is
enterprlsing. There will DO nothing else
iu the State to compare with this article

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The dispu t.
between England and Russia has been as
to where the northeastern border line Of
Afghanistan should be drawn. The Eng
lish have asserted that it should run easl
and west on line which would be almost
a direct continuation of the line of the
northern frontier of Persia. The Russians
on the other hand. have claimed that the
point of departure from the Herr. Rud
should be some seventy miles south OF the
line laid down by the English, thus making
a large jog in the geographical outline o.
Afghanistan, and giving to the Russians
thousands of square miles of highly fer
tile territory and strategical position o.
the utmost importance.

NoRA's BALANcE.-Last summer, during
the excitement owing to bank failures in
Indianapolis, was watching the anxious
crowd besie ing the doors Of bank that
was supposed to be In danger, when
overheard the following dialogue between
an Irish woman and her husband
"Nora, dhraw yer money out"
San shurc, Patrick, l won't"
s'But, Nora, you mustn't dhraw 1t out"
"Faith an won't dhraw me money out
at ALL"
''Nora, an don't yees know they'll lose
yer money for yees ef yees don't dhraw 1t
out?"
can shure, Patrick, amt they better
able to lose 1t than we are?"
Patrick was evidently overpowered with
this last astonishing and unanswerable ar
gument. and they both left the scene ap
parently satisfied. Fortunately the bank
survived the pressure, snd its ability to
lose Nora's balance was not practically
tested.

Appointment Treasury official, in COM
menting upon the policy Of the present
Administratio in reference to the silver
coinage. said: 1T is absurd to claim that
Mr.. Cleveland's demonstration against
silver is useless. The fact that Repub-
lican Administration opposed silver tended
to strengthen it in the South. The opp0-
sition Of Democratic Administration,
however, commands attention in that
locality. Southern men are studying the
silver question for the first time. South
ern Senators and Congressman are devot-
ing attention to the subject and are
comforting With the President and Secret ry
Manning. The silver question is being
canvassed in earnest, and the continued
effort of the Administration will enlist the
influence OF the solid South in the crusade
against the coinage"

will suffer for want Of what vAey should

man who bowls the most about poor crops
is the man who does the least to have good

lies about drouths is the fellow who has
done the least to put his land into condi-

how TO keep them out of the store is the
