MusseI Stews Down East.

The Rockland COWricr- Ga:ctte reports
a new rival to the oyster which it thinks
will bring fame if not fortune to North
Haven, where the discovery was made.
1t seems some cnterprising citizen OF
that place, with an eye TO developing
home talent, conceived the idea of max
ing an oyster stew without tile oyster,
substituting in the place of that biyalva
some of the muSSels with which the
coast abounds. The result was brill
liant success. Such stew had never
been eaten before. Local epicurcs now
turn up their noses at the oyster and
vote il decidedly old-iashioned, and are
preparing to impart their discovery to
less enlightened regions. Their mis-
sionaries have already got as far as
Rockland, and it is predicted that ere
long the markets of all the big cities will
abound with the legend North Haven
mussels-2O cents quart. 1t is
enough to make the clam turn green
with envy. -LeWiSton (Me.) Jo@rnaL

The etymology of many Amcricanisms
is impossible to discover, Boss is
taken from the Dutch bass" Or master,
and is quite legitimate. Boom" some
clever person says, is derived from the
nautical phrase ito boom out" as ap-
piled to vessel tearing before the wind;
and the origin of "blizzard" is en-
veloped in obscurity and "bull.doze"
has vanquished all the etymologists in
turn.

Democratic Campaign 30 ok

The Democratic campaign book,
prepared under the auspices of the
Democratic Executive Committee, Is
now in the hands of the printer, and
will soon be ready for distribution.
The committee has not resorted to the
Republican methods of levying assess
mcnts upon otliceholders for their cam
paign expenses, nor has any office
holder in the United States been re-
questcd to contribute u cent. Such
contributions have in no case been re-
ceived. The book will contain spicy
review of the past administration, of
the Government under Republican
rule, and will discuss q number of
subjects Of contemporaneous import
ancc. 1t will contain an exhaustive
history of former abuses of the Pension
Office and of the prostitution to party
ends of this bureau, which was organ
lied for the dispensation of the peoples
money to the peoples soldiery.
1t will contain q discussion of the
squanderlng of the public domain by
the Republican party, and of the re-
cent movements inaugurated by Demo
Gratis to restore il to the original own
ers, the people. 1t will discuss the
Civil Service as abused heretofore, and
as administered by President Cleve-
land. 1t will contain valuable matter
touching the administration eff the
Land Office and the conduct Of the In
dian affairs. 1t will be valuable in
the discussion of labor problems, con-
tanning chapter on that subject and
on the legislation affecting it. 1t will
discuss past delinquencies Of response
BILE officers and agents of the Govern.
ment, and indicate the correction of
abuses in that line.
1t will contain summary Of the
action of the last Congress touching
matters of importance to the people,
and make fair exhibit of the results
accomplished. 1t will give n history
OF the war on the President by the
Senate, and the surrender by that
body of the false issue which it had
raised for political ends. In short, the
book will be fair and truthful pre-
sentation of political matters. The
committee is not in possession of funds
to enable it to distribute the book gra-
tuitously. In order that the book may
DO thoroughly distributed the commit
tee has dete rmined to send it prepaid
by mail to any person who will make
application therefor and transmit the
sum of 81. To encourage the dstri-
button eight copies will be sent for So.

ton box within few years. What
business has the deacon with the but
tons? They were contributed for the
heather, and several scores of heathens
have been obliged to hitch their sus-
penders with single nail because Of
this embezzling deacon. Now the
deacon is confessing, let him tell what
he did with the money, if there was
any. What good are these deacons,
anyway, if button must be stopped

Mr. ongfclow's first salary as pro-
fessor at Bowdoin college was $500, and
the corporation at first declined TO dig.
Nifty the position with any higher title
than that of instructor When he was
called to Harvard university, it was at a
salary of $500. He wrote his first
poem at Il, and there was not much in
it to indicate prccocity, or to afford
promise of the future that was afterward
realized, Bryant, it will be remember
ed, wrote "Thanatopsis" when he was
10 years old, and it is doubtful if he ever
excelled it in his later work. Longfellow
had an extraordinary preparation for
his duties as professor, having passed
three years in Europe before he took his
place at Bowdon, and two more in the
same travel before heassumed his duties
at Harvard He was % years of age
when he accepted the first of these po-
sitions, and 2S when he entered upon the
other.
