After Il pleasant sail of about 90 miles
We landed at Blue Hill, my old home,
where we were met by friends and rel
atives, and spent two very happy
weeks. This little village is situated
at the foot of the mountain of the same
name, and is clustered around beau
tiful bay affording some Of the finest
water for catching and finishing on the
coast. Many persons from the cities
make this their summer home and
many line cottages are being built.
This is the old home of ODER, the man
ager of the Boston Ideal Opera Co. so
well known to the musical world. Miss
ODER j. not musician; she is simply a
smart, energetic business woman who
has brain enough to organize an orig
inal scheme and nerve enough to make
success of it. She has now retired
from public life and is living quietly,
enjoying competency. The taste of
this lady has been displayed here. She
has made the old homestead bloom like
the rose; resurrected the old fire place
where bright wood fire sparkled in
the hearth, and all the quaint old
things have been brought to the front
and made beautiful by the hand Of an
artist. We visited Garfield Post, q. A.
II. while here and met many old COM
rades. We went fishing, boating, fer
rying, and all that, had "a clam
bake, sails on the bay. and all the
round Of pleasure that goes to make up
a delightful summer on the Maine
coast. And after all this
had to leave and come home
while the weather was still hot. Our
return trip will be treated in my next

AEEAIRS III ALASKA.


BY the kindness of II. T.. VanDemal
we are permitted to make the following
extracts from letter lately received
by him from 4 formerly OF Kansas man
AIR. J. w. Young. The letter is dated
at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, and will no
doubt he interesting to our readers.
az received yours o: June 10th exactly
a month after it was written. 1 have
made up my mind to try to make my
fortune here raising cattle and running
a dairy. Will also raise hogs and
chickens on small scale. With milk
and clover and weeds can keep a
number of hogs and raise potatoes and
peas to fatten them, and if necessary
import grain. Peas do splendidly and
l raised very good oats last year. Have
spring wheat in head now and think
it and barley would do well. but we
have no machine for threshing.
My crops did right well last year,
but 1 was too late in planting and did
not get them saved good. Think I Will
overcome that difficulty this year.
There are few wild strawberries here
and | wish you would send ME Il dozen
plants of the Charles Downing or some
hardy variety: also the June berry yOu
spoke of.
l have come to the conclusion that
the principal difficulty is that there are
no farmers here. think l can raise
anything they can raise in northern
Michigan. There ara great many
wild crabapples, but tame apples have
not been tried. Those trees you SEM.
ma are making u good growth this
summer. will send you speciman
of the crabapples. think they would
take the premium anywhere as the
smallest and sourest variety. have
been moving the heaviest timothy grass
1 ever saw. There are 900 acres of
splendid grass right here, and don't |
see why Ecan't make it pay with a |
machine. would have no
difficulty in curing all I want. We
don't have TO feed cattle more than
four months and generally only three.

MIR. IRwIN's QUESTIONS.

In another place is published letter
from Rev. S. M. Irwin, of Geneva, ask
ing some very sensible questions. As
he no doubt asks them because he
wants them answered we will reply to
the best of our knowledge.
1t is true that we have Poor Farm
where the paupers Of the county are
supposed to he provided for. 1t is also
true that bills ale allowed, Mt each
meeting Of the commissioners, for goods
furnished paupers and for care taken of
them, in various parts of the county.
When inquired into it will be found
that in these latter cases the assistance
rendered is temporary only. The poor
farm is intended only for such as re-
quire permanent and continuous assis-
lance. 1t is often the case, however,
that by some accident or misfortune an
individual or family ordinarily self sup
porting, is placed in such IL position
that unless temporarily aided he, or
they, must suffer. Or, as often happens,
a destitute party may be travelin g
through the county and may fall sick.
The case is brought to the notice of the
trustee of the township, and if he finds
the case deserving one he renders the
needed assistance and hands in his bill
to the county com missiOners. In all OF
these eases the township trustee, with
whom the responsibility rests, renders
the assistance directly instead of send
ing the sufferer to the poor farm, Simp-
ly bc cause it is cheaper to do so.
Ii is true that "Only one doctor can
get the contract for doctoring the pOor,'
ut the poor farm. Buttile commission
ers can and do appoint local physi
clan aside from this, to wait on the pau
per sick in each individual township.
We are inclined to think. with Mr..
Irwin, that $50 or $40 is pretty steep
for a coffin, but we 10 not remember
that such sums have been often asked
for or allowed.
These answers are very brief, but we
hope thep are sufficiently full to he un-
derstood. We should be glad to pub
fish any further questions that may he
asked in this line, and if we cannot an
swer them, perhaps somebody may be
found who can. The question Of ''How
the money goes" is certainly an impor-
tant one to every tax payer, and should
be able to stand any amount of investi-
