Ex.President Arthur,s Condition.

EX-President Arthur's Condition.
1t is known that the condition of ex-
President Arthur is extremely critical,
and, althou h ne himself has hopes Of re.
covering, his friends hardly expect to see
him able to leave his room again. Ifhe were
not a man OF wonderful vitality, and did
not possess great recuperative powers, it
is probable that he would have succumbed
several weeks ago to the attacks of the
disease which is gradually destroying his
life.
He is sufferer from chronic Brights
disease, recovery from which is
about impossible. Three years
ago several Washington correspondents
stated In their papers that Mr.. Arthur
was suffering from this disease. and their
statement was denied by the Presidents
friends with considerable show OF indig-
nation. IL may be that they we're sincere
in their denial. Itappears, however, that
the correspondents were well informed.
as they generally are. although 1t is not
always possible for them to support their
statements with such proof as would be
required by a legal tribunal.
There is very little going on
in Washington that some Of
them do not get an inkling Of. They have
their acquain ances in all circles, and
among all classes, and under the circum-
stances II would be- rather strange II they
were not among the Grst TO hear all that
is worth hearing m the way OF news.
Although ex-Presidents, as rule, com.
mand far less attention than many per-
sons who have never held or aspired TO
official station, Mr.. A.thurs sickness,
doubtless, eXcites very general sympathy
for him because while President he was
popular, and gave the country an ex-
cellent administration.

A Man can Love More than ore Woman.

There ia a commission OF Mormon women
from Utah in me city to seek redress from the
wrongs of the Mormon church.
In reply to question TO what made the
church OF the Latter Day Saints so fascinating
to women. Mrs. Wells, the Chairman. said:
I'VE feel that the doctrines are the truth,
and feel like clinging to them at any sacrifice.
! know there is more liberty for women in the
Mormon church than in any other in the
world. The women vote not only upon all
political questions, but upon religious tenets
as well. We believe in the pre- existence and
future state of progression, and the discipline
OF plural wives Is a corrective TO supre sell
hshness. MOrmons believe that a man can
love more than one woman just as mothers
love is not confined to one child"

Strung in garlands round their dresses,
Wee white daisies!

The woes of love -lOrn maids are told,
Tender daisies!
The petals of thy soft crowns white
Are fortune tellers true aud bright,
Sunny daisies!
Anon, with thee, methinks are wrought
The shafts of Cupid's cruel sport,

OF Natures gems the very fairest,
Lovely daisies!
Like snowy starlets on rough earth,
Shining thy great Creators worth.

Lecture by Prof. DEMO.

The lecture by Prof. F. b. Denio, of Ban
gor Theo. Sem, al Falls village on Friday
evening, Feb. 5, had been looked forward
TO with anticipation, and those who attended
were not disappointed. The mercury being
below zero, many were prevented from hear
ing him. Those who brayed the cold were
well paid. His subject as heretofore given
was "The Old Testament" lie said the
christian religion did not begin with the
New Testament, but was only unfolded and
developed there.
The truth Of mans snfulness, Gods hol-
ness, need of atonement, rightfulness Of
worship, &c, all found in the Old Testa-
ment.
There must be preparation for Christ's
coming. "iou cannot root grape vine in
granite bowlder"
God taught in the old Testament by pre-
cept AMI by deeds The Old Testament is
full of object lessons the leading of the
lsraeIites ou, of Egypt, lesson of Gods
care and dealings; Noah, an object lesson
of obedience; Saul, an object lesson of dis
obedience; Abraham, an object lesson Of
faith; David, an object lesson of lack of
purity.
Some Of the Old Testament laws seem
weak, but they have been able to lead up 10
and prepare for the more perfect law Of
! Christ.

Your correspondent spent day with MN,
short time since, and it was very interest

He is the oldest man living that sailed
vessel out of Union river, and now, can de-
scribe every ledge, island and cape on the
New England coast. In religion he is
Methodist, and is quite ready at quoting
scripture. He is man OF commanding
presence, and has voice that indicates
great decision; and if he had lived in some
other age, his name, without doubt, would
have passed into history. During the war
of 1912, he coasted along shore, and was SO
shrewd that the enemy was not able to get
a hand upon him. But once he narrowly
escaped capture. He was quietly "picking"
his way home, among the numerous islands
on the coast Of Maine, when he saw an Eng
lish man-of-war, lying in his way. 1t being
beneath his dignity to run, he kept on. and
was Obliged to pass within few rods Of the
