Journal had not got out of sight of Ban
gor before he distinguished himself by
losing his hat, which blew off as he was
passing from one car TO another. He
sat right down in the corner Of the car,
and what he said from that time till he
reached NaHceboro, where he purchased
another hat. would not make very
large volume. Probably nothing can
happen to a man that will make him
feel more foolish than to be minus =
hat in a party of a hundred and IF

of the Boston journal is not an uproar-

of the Journal has hobby that man
need not breathe. aud he will set up all

incense. The other name for his pecC

just like our genial Atwood, set back a

have fooled most Of the party. \. W.
Cheeyer represented the y. E. Farm
er, but as | didn't see any one with hay
seed in his hair | somehow got an idea
that we had no literary grangcrs with
u. Kinds of the Portland Press and
myself represented the long aud short
OF it. He was the youngest member OF
the pa '. but anybody who takes him
for $ ing chicken will he sadly sold.
From Bangor TO Nanceboro We ran
over the Maine Central road. From
oldtown, or little above. to some dis
lance beyond Nanceboro we strike a
piece Of country that il is kindness

shoriness Of memory do not seem
to call TO mind just now any prom

At McAdam's Junction we eros. the
line into New Brunswick and those
who desire can obtain drink legally,
thing OF course impossible IN our pro-
Observation-Disclosures State. Here
we saw an object lesson in astronomy,
in the shape Of large and small cub

the late GOV. Coburn perpetrated the
only Joke of his life al this place.
W hen the railroad Was first opened the
Governor CHANGED to he Que Of the pas
seugcrs. and he stepped out of the
car and took a look at the country. All
he saw was rocks and then some more
rocks, aud then another lot OF them.
The old gentleman took in the view aud
then went back into the car exclaiming,
''W eli. this i the first time that was
ever out Of sight of land"
Al Woodstock we strike the 81 John.
and from there the scenery Is a. beauti-
'ul As one could wish. The valley Of
the -. John is nearly all settled aud
the Land cleared, and fine looking farms
are everywhere noticeable. II i. also
noticeable that the buildings are not az

he generally intends TO live as we'll as
he can. This is characteristic Of our
people. while with a good many other
natioualilics they don't seem 10 care
how they live as long as they live.
Toward the latter part of the afternoon
We near Carbon. and when the train
stops, We find ourselves on 1.-THE other
side OF the Aroostook river At
Woodstock our party was met by a com
mittee from Caribou. who came down

had extended the horse pitality OF sew
eral towns 10 us. for there was at the
depot every variety of vehicle which
the town afforded, and all free Tor the
Use OF our party, aud when you consid-
er that there were SO in it. il needed
something more than a wheelbarrow 10
transport Us. | here learned that there
was not lodging accommodations for Us
all at the hotels and that we were to be
taken in charge by the citizens and
lodged. For the first time in my life
| felt like religious conference, which
swoops down on town and subsists on
the country, but certainly no conference
ever struck a locality where hospitality
was more freely offered than at the sew
eral towns our party visited. and l
/ think may also add, more freely ac-
