letter to the Mechanic Falls Ledger:
During the past five or six years, it has
been my custom to visit Sebago Lake, drawn
thther, not so much for it's own inherent
beauties, as | was for any implement of
stone or bone the wary Indian may have left
around the embers of his campfire, three
centuries or more ago. And that they left
an occasional implement now and then, the
beautiful collection now in possession of the
writer will confirm. Thus far, the largest
camping ground / have visited is situated at
the outlet OF the lake, at what is known as
Whites Bridge, and could we roll back the
flood of years that have interviewed since that
far time, when the wigwams of the red men
stood clustered about the shore, built of
birch bark or fur-a long line of canoes also
of bark, gorgeously painted, drawn up OH the
beach: arrow makers seated upon the rocks
near the waters edge, making arrow heads,
scrapers, spears, etc., women making co Jk-
ing utensils of clay and sand, which after
being moulded TO the required form is baked
ia ground ovens, maidens decorating mecca
sins with beads of wood and shell, and weav-
ing belts of wampum, young men engaged
in the Chungee game, hunters returning
flushed with the success of the chase, war
parties going out to expel poachers from
their hunting grounds, aud many other
scenes too numerous to mention here, /
think we should have witnessed wild but
anlmatiug scene. The grand old pines that
once bordered the shore have long since sue
cumbed to thu woodman's axe, and the plow
has broken the sod over part of the encamp-
ment.
Very many relics have been found in this
locality from the time of the early settlers
to the present day. The encampment was

ABOUT GRADUATES.
St. Louis Globe Democrat .

Ii the young knew as much as do the old
of the world and its ways they might be
wiser. but would lack the enthusiasm that
no@ distinguishes them in the business af-
fairs of men, and enthusiasm is by no means
to be despised. ''Fools rush in where an
gels fear to tread" and fools sometimes by
rushing in achieve results that the angels
would never have dreamed of. So no dis
couragement Deed be thrown over the work
of turning out the annual job lot of seniors.
The valedctorian may pass his life aG the
tail of plOw, and the honor-man NAV
whack bob.tail mule through the streets of
metropolis, but if they do, the reason is
found in the fact that the college has been
unable to tit them for anything better, and
perhaps. If they had not had the collegiate
advantages they enjoyed, they would have
been loaters or tramps instead of honest
plowmen and drivers.
NOTHING MORE THAN A LITERARY SUCCESS.
London Athenaeum.
The revision of the Old Testament is a
literary success, but it has no pretensiens to
scholarly completeness: That is the general
impression which the new version max s.
There have been practically no alterations
in the text, the variants of the Septuagint,
even when undoubtedly superior, being rel
egated to the margin. The literary merits
of the Authorized Version have been re-
tanned and on the whole enhanced, and it's
majestic rhythm has not been disturbed,
and has even been allowed fuller play by the
of the prose books in para
graphs, and of the peetica books in separate
lines. The revisers are to be congratulated
on the satisfactory result of their fifteen
years. labor. There eau be little doubt as to
the wisdom of their decision in declining to
make new text Of the Old Testament as
the other did with The New. The textual
criticism of the Old Testament stands now
adays where thai of the New did before the
days of Griesbach.

Promising Outlook for a Fine Exhibition
Next Week.

The Audrain county Fair will COM
e next Tuesday, August 18th. The
prospect for a fine display was never
better, and as the busy season has just
closed, and the people are generally at
leisure, we hope that the week will be
observed by all as a general holiday.
Our grounds are finely improved, and
every person in the county is interest
ed or ought to be in keeping up the
reputation of prosperous Audrain.
Come, bring Jour family and friends.
See the improvements in the various
departments, compare notes, and have
a good time, and after the Fair is over
you will feel that you have done your
duty to yourselves, your families, and
contributed something to a worthy and
permanent improvement that will
compare with anything of the kind in
the state. The business men of Mexi-
co will be expected to give all the at
tention that their business will allow.
The large and commodious dining hall
will be in charge of the ladies of Mexi-
co for church benefits, and the asso-
citation will guarantee that the visitors
at the fair will be served with the best
the market affords at reasonable rates.
There will be no gambling devices al
lowed on the grounds; there will be on
duty competent police who will tolerate
no public betting or other disorderly
conduct.
1t will be seen in our program that
we charge no entrance fee IN any of the
regular rings; no extra charge for enter
ing the grounds with your wagons or
buggies. or horses. The first day will
be free for all ladies, 80 that we may
have their assistance in arranging and
decorating the hall, as the presence of
the ladies on such occasions always in
sures success. The second day will
be free for all the children. Be sure
and bring all the little fellows, so that
they may have a good time.
AS this is a public improvement at
the expense of the stockholders and
every dollar taken in will be laid out
on the grounds, we invite everybody
TO come and help US to make this our
sixth annual fair, the biggest thing in
the history of Audrain county, and the
pride of the west. A DIRECTOR.

The people of Audrain are a pro-

We are proud to note these facts,
but yet there is one thing lacking.
Year after year a little band of teach
ers meet in Mexico for the purpose
of gaining such information as will
better prepare them for success in
their school work. A few teachers,
each year, devote their time and
talent, without any pay whatever
for so doing, in working up the Nor
NAL institute. And yet how many
patrons in tue city of Mexico and in
the county think of the work done
in these meetings. With all the
urging of the committee only about
one fourth of the teachers of the
county attend ard a much smaller
proportion of theyoung teachers who
would be benefited most by institute
work. School patrons, generally, think
too little about what should be the
qualifications of those to whom they

such meetings without a large attend
