Our summer visitors should understand that
the hot days of last week were not specimens
Of Maine weather. but simply to remind them
of what they escaped from in coming to the re-
gon of cool nights and breezy. invigorating
days. And this recalls to mind the story of
the dentist who advertised to pull teeth with
out pain. A victim presented himself, the dem
fist adjusted the forcepS and there was pull
md a yell. That" said the dentist. ''is the
way Or. A. pulls teeth" Another pull and
another yell. That is the WAY DR.. b. does. :
The tooth now hung by a thread and as the
dentist whipped ont the moar he triumphantIy
exclaimed. ''that is the way do it," The way
we do it on the Maine sea coast in summer time
is To treat our visitors to saline breezes and
nights when blankets are necessary for cover
Ing. The weather Of last week was such as
prevails in the hot and crowded cities. Com
pare the two and see how decidedly the advan-
tage is with our Maine climate.

State Committee held at the Bangor House.

Belfast as Port for Repairing shipping.

The fact should be generally known that Belfast
has ample facilities for all kinds of vessel
repairs, including marine railway capable of tax
ing out the largest coasting craft. More than this
it has been demonstrated that such repairing can
be done here cheaper than elsewhere, as the cap
tain of the barkentine Florence l.. Genavor, now
on the Merchants Marine Railway, Belfast after
full enquiry brought his vessel to this port. 1t has
been stated that the rig of the Genovar is to be
changed from barkentine to a three -masted
schooner, and is estimated that this will effect
saving in running expenses of $500 per year.

remarks by Hon. $. S. Brown, of Watervie, and

ell hour the Court House well filed, the Lin

the idea of the Democratic party to-day. He had
no charge to make against Mr.. Bodwell the nomi-

was as a government contractor and the partner of

The whole burden of the speakers remarks were
against man who had money-in other words
communsm-and he had the sympathy of the

Mr.. McGillicuddy is a young man, and an eo
quent and fluent speaker. He confined his re
marks chiefly to the labor question and alraigned
the Republican party, charging that it was not in
sympathy with the poor man. The Democrats
want to abolish the law against imprisonment for
debt, but the Republicans oppose. The Demo

opponents oppose. He dwet at length on the ten

Keep the Camp Fires Burning.

Every delegate responded to the roll call at
the Republican county convention in this city
Saturday, which means that the Republicans of
Waldo are on deck and ready for action. The
campaign is to be a short but active one. In
this county we may fairly claim to have put
forth ticket to which no exec ptioms can be
taken, and which merits support. There is
certainly no need for third or fourth party
tickets. The Republican ticket is now, as it
has been for years, 4 temperance ticket; and
the Republican party has earned the confidence
of the working man by efforts to protect his in
terests and to guard him from competition with
foreign pauper labor. This is as Congressman

Mr.. Bodwell's Letter of Acceptance.

The letter in which Hon. J. Il. Bodwell foY-
mally accept the nomination a. the Republican
candidate for Governor at the coming State
election is given in full in the supplement with
this issue of the journal. 1t is something more
than letter of acceptance. Mr.. Bodwell is
not public speaker and does not propose to
make personal canvass. and he has taken this
opportunity to define his position upon the
leading issues of the day, and more particular
ly the questions of local interest and >igniii-
rance. There can be no doubt in the mind of
any one who reads this beforehand it merits
careful reading from alias to where Mr.
Bodwell stands. He has expressed himself
clearly and fully on the labor question. the
temperance question, and other issues; and the
man behind this letter gives it additional
weight and value. Mr.. Bodwell not only
writes from experience in treating of the labor
question, but on other issues his record is in
full accord with the sentiments expressed. and
the patriotic sentiments with which he con-
rludeS will find an echo in the breast of every
true son of Maine.

SEBAGO LAKE
and steam a distance of fourteen miles to Lake
Station before mentioned. The first objects of
interest on the lake are the Images and Frye
Island. The Images are mass of rocks
forming Cape Raymond and rise perpendicular
ly from the water seventy-tve feet. Abe
Shaw, the pilot, informed us as we stood be-
side him in the pilot house, that the water
is eighty feet deep three feet from the shore.
Tradition says the Indians carved images on
the face of the rocks to give information con-
corning the movements of the white man. AT
this point Capt. Frye leaped over the precipice
seventy feet to the water below when pursued
by Indians and made his escape by swimming
to Frye's Island, just of the Cape. The images
We're nearly obliterated, but Capt. Gibbs has
improved upon the designs of the red men. He
recently employed a Bridgton artist and now
the broadside of the rock is painted with images
that can be seen as the boat passes. They rep
resent Indians, canoes, etc. At this point Haw-
thorne's cave is pointed out. Nathaniel HaW-
thorne, the American author, the classmate of
Longfellow, passed his childhood in RAYMOND,
and the house is pointed out to the passenger
He had a rowing disposition and spent much of
his time about Sebago Lake. The cave makes
in from the waters edge for twenty-five feet
Hawthorne used to row his boat into the cave
and then crawl through an aperture into the
open air. This lake is full of associations with
Whittier, Longfellow and Hawthorne. Just
beyond the Images Shaw pointed out sunken
island known as One Tree Island. The land is
entirely submerged leaving a solitary tree
standing above water, in the top of which is a
fish hawks nest. The tree and nest resemble
spindle buoy on a sunken ledge. Shaw saws
that for thirty years fish hawks have nested
there. The inhabitants about the lakes are
much attached to the birds. Sometimes
stranger shoots one of the old birds on the
nest, when there is much sorrow. Abe says
whenever this happens the remaining bird
will disappear for few days and then return
accompanied by half dozen fish hawks, and
for some time there will be high carnival about
the tree. When a mate has been selected by
the resident fish hawk the others depart and
life goes on at the nest as before.
The shipping Oh Sebago Lake are curious
craft. The schooners are cross between
canal boat and a st. Johns wood boat They
have two masts, foremost well forward, no
bowsprit, no shrOuds and but two sails.
