The Stock Farm of s. G. Snow a Son.

Among the successful farmers and stock growers
of Waldo county are :. C. Snow 4 Son, of Jack
son. They cuta large amount of hay all of which
is fed out ON the farm. They have siN horses.
The work of the farm is done with pair of draft
horses that stand seventeen hands high and weigh
$500 pounds. A two years old colt sired by Ledo,
stands fifteen hands, three inches is very stylish
and promises to be fast. Two Patchcn colts of
about the dimensions show good points.
Thirty head of cattle are kept, of which sin are
cows and eight heavy oxen. A three years old
bull of stock from ST. Georges Island, has proved
to be one of the best animals of the kind ever in
this vicinity. The Messrs. 5. have Il calf eleven
months Old, which measures nearly six feet and
which for size and shape is hard to beat. This calf
was taken from the mother at five months another
weaned at three months is good one although
they of course not so large as if they had had
the use of two or more cows apiece through the
summer, which is the practice with some.

The Truth About 1t.

''Spring." sang the poet, budding Spring
Alas the boughs We're bare
He was himself the one green thing,
For lee lay everywhere.
''EIaiI, Spring. with breczc> soft and sweet.
The Spring returned his hail.
There came shower of snow and sleet
Upon wintry gale.
Sing, merry birds in bush and tree
he read the almanac;
The birds We're wiser far than he,
And did not hurry back.
''Spring, gcntle"-herc lie ceased to sing.
Let the sad truth be told:
The while lie sang of balmy Spring,
lie caught an awful cold.

Democratic Discord in Aroostook.

A few weeks since we wrote a brief article
on the above interesting subject, in which we
stated that the Democrats of Aroostook Coun-
ty We're diScordant and dissatisfied set of
men. Recent events in Caribou have amply
proved the correctness OF our statement. Last
Thursday the Democrats held caucus and
made their nominations. This was two days
before the Republicans held their caucus In
mediately after the Democratic caucus, the fun
began. Charges of packing the caucus and all
sorts of hard talk We're made. Saturday even
inc, after the nominations of the Republicans
had been made and announced, a few of the
faithful got together and revised the list of
Democratic nominees, dropping one man from
the tail of the ticket and substituting another
who was supposed to be ii more available can
ditate. The last nominee kicked, however, at
this elevcnth-hour tail arrangement. and on
Monday morning, on the day of election, his
name was elevated to the first place. All these
schemes and manipuations failed to smooth
the troubled waters, and the Democratic flag
Went down amid the oaths and examinations of
its own supporters. Never We're the Republi-
cans of Caribou iii better ''form" than now
and never were the Democracy in worse shape
So mote it he. fAroostook Republican.

The Edmunds Resolutions Endorsed

The Edmunds Resolutions Endorsed.
Mr.. Geo. l.. Strarn> would have been con-
tinnrd a~ Collector Of Internal Revenue in Ner-
moni Monday If the Democrats in the United
States Senate had not audariou>y chosen to at
tempt TO make partisan capital out OF the fact
that the Finance Committee had recommended
several Collectors of Internal Revenue for con-
tirmation. But the Democrats chose to pursue
that course, and the consequence is that the
confirmation of Mr.. StearnS. which had been
made. was recon>idcred. and that all of the In
lelllal RcNcnue Collectors who We're recently
confirmed shared the same fate, and that the
party lines are more sharply drawn on the
whole subject of combinations than they have
been At any time. The circumstances We're
these: some two weeks ago the Senate Finance
Committee came to an understanding with tn,
Secretary of the Treasury a> to the conlrina-
tion Of Internal Revenue Collectors The letter
of Secretary Manning to the committee has
been published. This letter rccited tn fact
that the President was not under amy obligation
to explain his suspensions to the Senate, but
the Secretary OF the Treasury was required to
furnish desired information to either branch of
Congress, and. therefore, it afforded the sccrc
| tary pleasure to inform the committee that Mr..
-- was removed in the discretion of the
President, III order to promote the good of the
service, but there We're no charges in the de
partmcnt affecting his character. This
generally regarded a> a sufficient bill of health
for the suspended official and an admission
thai the removal was for political reasons only,
and it looked as if Internal Revenue Collectors
would be confirmed without any more trouble.
The Finance Committee reported number of
the collectors to the Senate and the Senate has
been confirming them. Today it confirmed
the Vermont Internal Revenue Collector.
Whereupon IA party dispute arose to whcth-
cr the Republicans We're backing down. They
insisted that in his letter, the full text Of which
has appeared within few days, Mr.. Manning
virtually confessed that the previous collectors
had been removed for political reasons The
Democratic senators denied this and said the
Republicans had backed down. The Republic
| can collectors had been removed for the good
of the service and the Republicans were con-
iirming their successors in violation of their
own aVoWed programme, cinched by the
| adoption of the EdmllndS resolutions last Fri
day evening. This made the Republicans an
cry, and they reconsidcred the confirmation of
the Vermont collector, and then followed this
move by reconsidering all the combinations of
Internal Revenue Collectors at the last two cX
ccutivc sessions. The collectors appointed dur
ing the recess by President Cleveland will cor
Sequently hold office until Congress adjourns,
and will then doubtless be Immediately reap
pointed unless some other Democrat is substi-
tutcd for one of them. Washington Special to

Another Canara settled.

New YORK. Aug. An article has recently
appeared in several papers to the effect that Gen.
Grant wanted to be buried on Mount McGregor,
and that he left letter expressing this wish in
plain terms. The reason given for this desire on
the part of the General was that his life had
been prolonged by the pure air of the mountain,
so that he was enabled to finish his book and
thus provide for his family. This statement
was shown yesterday TO Col +. D. Grant He
read it carefully. "There is no foundation for
such story he said, with emphasis, as he
handed back the printed slip. "My father never
never wrote such letter, never made such a
request orally, and feel sure that be never
thought of such thing. I don't see how re-

THE ACCIDENT TO THE WERRA.
She Loses Her Propeller and Breaks Her Shaft
in Mid-0cean-A Passengers Story.

BOSTON, Aug. THE disabled North German
below, in tow The tug Ida N Daily, has ar
rived from the steamer, which is anchored off
Hull, with her mails and several passengers
One of the passengers states that on July 80, at
11:30 P. NJ, during heavy weather, the steamer
broke her shaft and lost her propeller, the yes
sci laboring heavily at the time. She drifted
until the following day. when she was taken in
tow by the steamer Venetian and brought to this
port. The Werra brings ITO cabin and 800
steerage passengers, who will be ira nsferred to
New York by rail. 1t is not known W hether the
steamer will be repaired here or towed to New
York.
passenger gives the following account
of the accident: ''The accident happened about
IL o'clock at night, when we were 1,080
miles from New York. The ladies had nearly
all retired as had most of the gentle
men. There were only a few persons
on deck. / happened to be on deck
and suddenly felt as if something was going
wrong with the machinery-an indescribable
feeling, as if the screw had given way and the
engine was going like lightning without any re-
sistance in the water. Thesea was marlborough
The shaft was broken, but ir was not known at
first whether 1t had run a hole into the bottom
of the ship or not and the small boats were all
prepared in case of need We drifted around
from IL o'clock that night all through the next
day. During that day fog prevailed until
about P. NJ when it lifted for about half an
hour. During that time We saw a steamer
off on the horizon. We fred gun and put up
signals and the steamer altered her course and
bore right down on u.s. The vessel proved to be
the Venetian. Without any delay whatever the
Venetian turned around, and our second officers
boat carried very thin line to her
and gradually thicker line, until the vessels
were connected by heavy cable. The hawser
broke once but was repaired" 1t is said that
on the second day out from Southampton steer

and stabbed himself, and then threw himself

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, Aug. z -Piquancy but no scandal
is involved in topic of social talk at Long
Branch No summer resort in America, not
even Saratoga, holds wider diversity of persons
or cliques. This fact is especially marked at
the West End, where the celebrities of the turf
constitute one of the many elements of society.
Such millionaires among stable-owners as Cas-
satt, Scott, Belmont and Baldwin are seen in
the hotel gatherings at night. The Dryer broth
ers, too are at the Branch great deal during
the Monmouth Park races, and Michael F.

sport. Her wagers are altogether on her own

at such harsh criticism of his famous racer and
he retorted: My dear GIRL you'll never show
yourself as lively or your feet as she does
''Wait and see.' said Camille. What she meant,
but did not explain, was that she had been in
vited to take par: in forthcoming children's
carnival, and now her sudden resolve was to do
something remarkable with her feet. Every
day between that and the night of the enter
tainment she had rehearsal under the direction
of Professor Harwig, the director of the affair
1t was he who drilled the Astor clique
in the peasant dances that were so com
mented upon at the krmess, two years ago.
and he is an expert in the ballet The assem-
blage at the carnival was distinctly fashion
able and handsome. There were PROFESSIONS
pantomimes, and several fancy dances Then
came surprise and delight. Miss Dryer APP
peared as Carmen. the Spanish heroine of the
opera. and danced fandango. The previous
efforts had been crude and amateurisn, but this
one was as excellent professionals feat ex-
cept that, instead of rising on the tips of her
toes she only got up to the balls of her feet but
that shortening was scarcely observable, for
all the grace and agility of movement, the ballet
costuming, and the trippings and prouettes of
the coquettish Spanish dance, were there in the
extreme of expertness The spectators gave the
active girl half dozen encores but her greatest
satisfaction arose-so she assured her father
from the fact that she had won by livelness on
her feet whereas his Miss Woodford had lost.
