A Great Year For Chewing Gum.

This is a great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Penobscot, and now
that the sun is climbing up into the
north little and the lumbermen are
coming out, the air is fairly redolent
with the perfume of the spruce. The
logs, knees, and bark are not the only
valuable part of the great timber tree,
for the gum is worth considerable even
in its rough state, just as it is hacked
from the crotches of the old trees
There are two or three firms here
which buy large quantities of it from
the lumbermen and gum-hunters for
the purpose of refining it, as they say.
But as general thing the refining con-
sists in adulteration with rosin. They
throw it into big kettle, bark and all,
and boil it to about the consistency of
thick molasses, skimming the impurities
off as they rise to the surface. Then,
if the purpose be to adulterate, some
lard or grease and lot of rosin is add
ed, and in some cases a little sugar.
The mixture then becomes thicker, and,
after more stirring, is poured out on
slab, where, while it is yet hot, it is
rolled out in sheet about quarter Of
an inch thick, and then chopped with
steel die into pieces half an inch
wide and three-quarters of an inch
long. These pieces are wrapped in
tissue paper and packed in wooden
boxes. There are two hundred pieces
in box. Some gum is treated in this
way without adulteration.
The best gum comes from no par
ticular locality, but always from the
biggest trees. The doctors up here
say chewing gum benefits the teeth.
The loggers, in their many idle hours
by the camp fire, whittle out miniature
barrels from blocks of cedar or white
pine, hollow them out, and fill them
with the choicest gum the woods afford
for gifts to their sweethearts, children,
or friends when they "come down" in
the spring. Others, who 60 into the
woods for gum alone, bring down big
bags of gum, and sell it to the manu-
facturers of the improved article. Up
here adulterated gum is called patent
gum.-NesU York Sun.

Capt. Kidd's Treasure.


Mrs. Mary Cleaves. a bright-eyed,
dark-haired, chatty little woman Of
middle age, writes Portland. Me-,
correspondent of The ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, recently resumed her labor
of searching for the hidden treasure of
Oversel. She believes the gold of Capt.
Kidd is on 0versel island, and that she
is about to find it. Her work. which
commenced some months ago, Was in
terrupted by the winter SHOWS. She
has rod of magical powers. "You
spoke of the rod," said she this morn
ing; "yes, it has a history, which l will
tell you," laying down her shovel and
pick. ''In the first place, these rods
are often unreliable. l tried several,
but they all proved false. One day
this one (eyeing it affectionately) came
to me from New York. 1t is two
hundred years old, and is true blue.
Why, when first took it up a severe
shock of electricity passed through me.
My work was half-done. Wonderful
wand! With this rod can overcome
any obstacle, great or small, and mind
you, it has q strong affinity between
heavenly and earthly things. 1 told
you it was true; it is every time. One
day, when l was prospecting on the|
island, came across large rock. On|
that rock was distinctly marked the
letter &C" That &c" meant "Cleav-
es," but did not learn it until after
ward. Iplaced the rod near the rock,
and it indicated that there was some
thing below. 1 could neither believe
my eyes nor the rod for some moments.
l was bound to satisfy myself thor
oughly, so stepped back a few rods,
tied my rod to the ground, and rested
upon it. Strange to say, it broke its
fastenings, turned me completely
around, and pointed directly to the
place first indicated. Then 1 was sat-
isfied. So you see l have labored hard,
searching everywhere with my rod and
digging in thousands of places with
my shovel and almost for nothing.
But l realize that my work is nearly
over now. shall astonish the nativesI
in the spring. Until then good-by."
And Mrs. Cleaves took up her pick
and shovel and started for the shore.

Shaking Of the Democratic go

Speaking of the Democratic gov
ernor of Ohio, Hon. George Hoadly,
the New York Sun says: "Of his po-
litical ssgscity there has never been
the slightes. doubt. His administra-
tion of Office has been wise, honest and
patriotic. He is a thinking man, full
of ideas IN regard to executive reform,
strong and firm whenever called upon
to face an emergency, sincere in his
devotion to the public interests, and
thoroughly true to the vital principles of
Democracy. We do not know wheth-
er these qualities of Governor Hoadly's
are obscured 10 view in any quarter of
the Democratic party in Ohio by local
or political prejudice. They are clear
ly apparent to the country at large.
There is probably no other State in
the Union where the governor now
holding Office is Judge Hoadly's equal
in intellectually"

There is diversity of opinion as to
whether young George Gould will keep
the Gould possessions together or not.
Thus far he has not fulfilled all the
fond desires of his distinguished
parent. He has not much of head
for finance or surplus of aptitude for
speculation. To be a good speculator
requires much sagacity. He enjoys the
theaters very much, and likes to slip in
behind the scenes among the pretty
chorus of ballet girls, and his head
aches quite frequently next day during
business hours. Nevertheless, Mr..
Gould is making every effort to make a
business man of him, and he ought to
succeed.

A Wounded Lion.

A very dramatic narrative of an en-
counter with lion is published by an
Algerian paper. 1t appears that for
months past farmers residing near a
forest in the African colony have been
victimized by the lion, which carried
off their cattle, and especially cvinced
a partiality for their shee Exaspera-
ted by the gaps made i'll their small
focks, it was determined to make war
on the depredator, and seventeen set
tiers, with five or six Arabs. set out on
what proved very perlo'< adventure.
They took up their positions in parties
of four and five, at certain spots in the
forest which it was conj"c;ured the
animal would pass, and toward night
fall the enemy was seen coming leis-
urely along by one of these parties,
numbering five men, Alter consulting
together it was decided that they
should fire simultaneously, and at a
given signal they did so, the lion being
seen to fall, uttering tremendous
roar of pain. He was not dead, how
ever, as the men too quickly imagined,
and when they approached the animal
he rose to his feet, crushed one of the
assailants with blow of his powerful
paw, and seizing the head of his victim,
smashed it at bite. Turning from the
mangled remains, the brute next at
tackled another man, biting off his arm
and otherwise injuring him. Two
other members of the party were also
grievously torn and bitten by the en-
ragged animal, and might have lost
their lives in the terrible encounter had
not their uninjured comrade levelled
his gun at the lions ear and been
lucky enough to stretch him out on the
ground dead.

The steamer Valor, Of this port, Cap
tain Haskell, is engaged in shooting
whales for the factory Of 'Bothbay
Thursday, when off Cape Porpoise
and just in sight of land, an immense
whale was encountered, and the steam
er started in pursuit, and just as they
got near enough to fire at the monster
he sounded. The steamer started
again for the prey when he came to
the surface, and this time they got in
a shot. Mr.. Haskells, the brother
of the Captain, fired the boom, and it
entered the animal; which immediately
swan with great speed out to sea.
The steamer followed, and after a
long and exciting chase succeeded in
driving the whale in shore, when he
again sounded. After short time,
during which the steamer lay in
and waited for the reappearance
of the monster, he rose to the surface
and plunged directly for the boat
Had he struck the little vessel, coming
as he did, with almost irresistible
force, she would certainly have sunk.
The signal to back was given, and the
steamer coming round just in time to
allow the whale to dash by only few
feet from the side. Haskell, afraid of
losing the prey, again fired, and this
time the bomb accomplished its work,
and the dead body Of the whale sank
in seventy-fve fathoms of water.
The whale was very large for its species
beng fully twice as long as the Valor.
a 45-foot vessel. The carcass will
come to the surface in eight or nine
days, when it will be taken in cow by

Horses in Battle.

War horses, when hit in battle,
trelnble in every muscle and groan
deeply, while their eyes show deep
astonishment. During the battle OF
Waterloo some of the horses, as they
lay upon the ground, having recovered
from the first agony of their wounds,
fell to eating the grass about them,
thus surrounding themselves with a
circle of bare ground, the limited ex-
tent of which showed their weakness.
Others were observed quietly glazing
on the field between the two hostile
lines, their riders having been shot of
their backs, and the balls flying over
their heads and the tumult behind,
before and around them caused no
interruption to the usual instinct of
their nature. 1t was also observed
that when a charge of cavalry went
past near to any Of the stray horses
already mentioned, they would set off,
form themselves in the rear of their
mounted companions, and, though
without riders, gallop strenuously
along with the rest, not stopping or
ainching when the fatal shock with
the enemy took place.
At the battle Of Kirk, l745, Major
Mcdonald having unhorsed an English
officer took possession of his horse,
which was very beautiful, and i'm
med,ately mounted it. When the
English cavalry fled the horse ran
away with its captor, notwithstanding
all his efforts to restrain him, nor did
it stop until it was at the head Of the
regiment of which apparently its mas
ter was commander. The melancholy,
and at the same time ludicro1s figure
which Mcdonald presented when he
saw himself the victim of his ambition
to possess fine horse, which ultimate.
" cost him his life upon the scaffold,
may be easily conceived.

The royal seraglio of Persia contains
no Europeans or male persons over the
age of II. Each royal favorite has her
separate pavilion and her staff of SER
wants, her equipages, her jewels and
her revenue. The principal favorite
generally has some high-sounding title
conferred upon her, such as 1.-The De-
light of the State" The ladies are
never seen abroad unveiled, save one or
two of the handsomer or more fighty
of their number, who sometimes, when
driving in their glass coaches, purpose
ly give rather liberal display of tlofid
charms to passers-by in carriages or on
horseback. 1t is quite certain that no
man save the King enters the royal
harem, or, having done so, leaves it
