The Social Clubs of Bangor.

W. A. Rice, in letter to the Boston journal
on the social life of Bangor, says of the clubs
in that city: Probably the new Unity Club is
other admitting both SEXES 1t had its origin
among the members of the Unitarian Society
of which the Rev. Mr.. Crcssy is pastor. This
club during the past season has presented to
the public at the Unitarian Church a course of
lectures by some of the most popular pulpit
orators of New England. One of the speakers
was Rev. NJ j. Savage, of Boston. Besides
their lectures they have given several enjoy
able receptions. an invitation to which was
considered marked honor.
The Central Church Club is another society
among the elite, which also aims at the intel
lectual, for they have improved the winter
months by giving a very lengthy course of lee
lures at their church. The low price of tick
cts has resulted in large audience upon the
presentation of each subject, so that it seems
us if the lecture field had not become altogeth-
er thing OF the past. Among the addresses
the most notable We're delivered by Hon. Han
nibal IIamlin, Hon. W. W. Thomas, of Port
land, and President HYDE of Bowdoin Col
lege. Rev. DR.. Field, who has been pastor of
the Central Church for over twenty years, Sc
cured the lecturers and arranged the course
for the club.

Names Resources.

An interesting pamphlet of forty pages. on
the present condition of the State Of Maine,
has been received through the kindness of one
Of Names loyal sons, the Hon. Fred Atwood
of Nintcrport. The work is published by the
Maine Central railroad, and is intended to give
the reader Il true statement Of the merits and
attractions of the pine tree State rs Il place for
a home. We are glad TO see an effort of this
kind on the part Of Il New England state.
" lille the railroad companies of the west and
south (oWncd largely by eastern mem have
been showing up tlic advantages Of those new
cr sections, the merits of the east have appar-
entity been almost forgotten, certainly greatly
overlooked. 1t costs something TO scatter such
information broadcast, but it is like bread upon
the waters. 1t will be returned many fold
after many days.
Maine rivers are the headquarters OF the ice
trade of the eastern United States, about Il
million tons being annually cut and stored,
ninc-tentiI> of which finds a market i'll southern
ports. he capacity of the ice houses Is one
and 4 hall million tons. and over sin thousand
hands find employment i'll storing ii iii its sea-
son. The total value of manufactured lumber
i'll the State Is put at about eight and one-halt
million dollars, aside from the large amount
used on farms within the State aHd for local
uses generally. The estimated value of the
vessels built in Maine last year was 900.
Maine mas been looked upon bN many as
State where little except ice and lumber is
produced, but her orchard products according
to the last census, We're worth over one million
dollars, while of butter and cheese over fifteen
million pounds were Produced The state also
produces more wool than Vermont, more tons
Of hay than any other New England State
nearly double the quantity of potatoes of Yer
mont; more than three times as many as Con
necticut, and nearly million bushels more
than the three States Of New Hampshire
Massachusetts and Rhode Island combined
As place of summer resort the State is be-
coming better known and better appreciated
every year, and the prospects are that Maine is
| to become one of the great summer resorts OF
the union.
Could similar effort be made on the part OF
| railroad companies to show up the attractions
and advantages of other New England States
as desirable places to settle in or to stay in
and if the same liberal spirit We're manifested
in dealing with patrons of the roads il
shown by the Maine Central, there would ere
long be re-scttlement of many of the deserted
farms in the back towns of New England
The strength of State is in the intelligence
and industry of the people of the State. Wei
will it be for New England when her peopl,
| learn the possibilities within reach at her owl
doors. n. +. Farmer.

A Shocking Affair.
A DRI- I-NkEN CAPTAIN AND MATE REFU Sc TO
LEAVE 4 SINKING SHIP.

A DRUNKEN CAPTAIN AND MATE REFUSE TO
LEAVE 4 SINKING SHIP.
A thrilling story of the sea is told in Il report
Just received at the Baltimore photographic
Office from Captain G. A. Todd of the British
steamer Sarah Ann, at Galway, Ireland, from
Baltimore. March I, in midoccan, sighted
French brigantine Dix Freres, dismasted and
in sinking condition, bound from Martinique
with sugar for Boston. There was heavy
sea, but with the use Of bags of oil a life boat
reached the disabled vessel, when it was found
that the captain and mate were drunk and
dancing about the deck around the dead body
of one of the crew who had died from expos
ure. The captain and mate refused to leave,
saying they We're going to go down with the
ship. The captains little child begged to be
taken off the vessel and clung to one of the
sailors about to leave, but the drunken father
snatched the boy away and darted with him
down into the cabin. AS the ifeboat was be-
ing nearly stove humping against the vessel,
the rest of the crew, four in ALL were taken off.
The brigantine had been drifting aimlessly
about for two MONTHS the captain and mate
drunk all the time. AS the sinking vessel drifted
away the men We're sent to haul down the flag
and signals. They probably went down with
.he ship, as Capt. Todd thinks the vessel could
not have lived through the storm then prevail
inr.

Rockland April Fools.

A Rockland lady entertained Thursday even
ing with progressive euchre. The ladv's prize
was box of sawdust, the genteman's pant
button. When refreshment hour arrived the
guests were gravey served with cold water and
toothpcks. There We're a good many blank
looks and some silent Indignation on the part
of the guests, until somebody remembered that
il was All Fools Day. Then they laughed and
felt better.
A Rockland young man, thinking to surprise
his wife and celebrate the day, got several of his
friends to carry him home. the night of April
lst while he made her believe he was drunk.
The plan worked splendid, but the joke was on
the young man when the wife received the party
rs if it were an old story, and treated her ap-
parenty incbriatcd husband as if she were ac-
customcd to greeting him in that condition.

larly,' said the mterrogated party. But you
seemed to- persisted the other. ''You laughed
egregously at all his jokes" ''Laugh? Well
