A Cheap Peachbloom Vase.

Shortly before the flowers began to
bloom in the spring q Rockland wo-
man heard a knock at the door, and
when she opened it she encountered a
peddler gentleman standing on the stoop
and smiling blandly over a large basket
of prehistoric plaster images.
"Matam," he said, smiling an inch
or two wider, Il haf-"

ped, beginning to shut the door.
The image man held up vase tempt
ingly, besplashed with much red and

he asked, with his head on one side.
The woman slowly opened the door
again and said she had

quiet outcome OF her brilliant life; but
she is still lady Of high spirit, and If
she experiences any genuine grief the
world will never know it. There was
time during the war when she hoped to
be mistress of tine White House through
the election of her honored father for
President, and the politics to that end
were engineered by her with great
ability. To descend from that ambition
to the sphere she at present occupies,
and to look back upon the notoriety
that had been visited upon her in the
place of the fame she had hoped for, Is
fate that nobody will envy her; but
doubtless anything is preferable to the
life she led with the Ex-Governor and
ex-senator during the later years of
their matrimonial experience.
And now Canonchet is 10 have new
mistress. She has money, and the rot
ten and moth-eaten tmbers will be
taken out, the leaks will be closed, and
the old plans will be revived, and the
place in few years will doubtless be as
fair as as its original mistress designed
it should be. 1t is curious to reflect
upon the changes which have occurred
since it was begun. 1t is odd to re-
member, by the way, that its last owner
previous to Mr.. Cranston died in the
prime of life, that the Tiltons are un-
known, and that the old Plymouth
preacher goes on his way as vigorous
and brilliant as he was previous to the
opening of the other of the two great
scandals which startled the continent
and the world.-M Y. Graphic.

The Sprague Mansion.

Ex-Governor William Sprague, of
Rhode Island has Canonchet again, his
wife having bought it of Henry c.
Cranston, who in his turn bought it of
Francis ID. Moulton. The latter bought
it at sheriff sale shortly before his
death for S61,200, and Mrs. Sprague
gets it back for 100000.
The history of Canonchet, which is a
part of Narragansett Pier, involves a
large amount of misfortune. The ex-
Governor began the immense building
before disaster overlook him and it has
never been completed, 1t was laid out
on one of the >grandcst plans of modern
buildings, and much work was done on
it which was thrown away because of
the change ordered by its eccentric
owner. and to some extent by his first
wife, Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. The
Spragues finally went into bankruptcy,
and since then the law proceedings
with regard to Canonchet have been
numerous and costly. One fine day the
country was startled with the news that
Sprague. had tried to shoot Senator
Conkling at the mansion, or near there.
There had previously been good deal
of talk with regard to the relations ex-
isting between the lady and the Sena-
tor, but it was generally believed that
the latter had merely acted as the coun-
sci of the former in certain legal mat
ters relating, if not to Sprague, to the
lady's private estate. The husband had
taken considerably to drink, and this
Of course made matters worse. Finally
Mrs. Sprague left the place, never to re-
turn, taking with her her youngest boy,
the older preferring to share the fort
unes of his father. The latter youth is
more or less eccentric, after the pattern
sci him, and not long since ran away
with and married relative of his
fathers second matrimonial choice.
The fortunes of Sprague varied, but
the law held on to him and to Canon
chet for long time. He remarked, his
bride being wealthy woman, and since
then there has been marked improve
ment in his personal conduct and his
financial standing. A couple of years
ago he ran for Governor. and had the
warm endorsement Of his chief lawyer,
General Butler, but was defeated. Kate
Chase Sprague, still beautiful woman,
is living somewhere in Europe and ap-
: parently iritendssto stay there. Natur-
ally she is sorelv disabpointed in the

Northern and Southern Names of
Battles.

From General d. H. Hills paper in
the May Century. "Thc Battle of South
Mountain, OF Boonsboro'," we quote as
follows: "The conflict of the 14th OF
September, 1862, is called the battle of
South Mountain at the North, and the
battle of Boonsboro' at the South. So
many battle-felds of the Civil War bear
double names that we cannot believe
the duplication has been accidental. 1t
is the unusual which impresses. The
troops of the North came mainly from
cities, towns, and villages, and were,
therefore, impressed by some natural
object near the scene of the conflict and
named the battle from it. The soldiers
from the South were chiefly from the
country, and were therefore impressed
by some artificial object near the field
of action. In one section the naming
has been after the handiwork of God; in
the other section it has been after the
handiwork of man. Thus, the first pas
sage of arms is called the battle of Bull
Run at the North, the name of little
stream. At the South it takes the name
of Manassas, from q railroad station.
The second battle on the same ground
is called the Second Bull Run by the
North, and the Second Manassas by the
South. Stones defeat is the battle of
Balls Bluff with the Federals, and the
battle of Leesburg with the Confeder-
ates. The battle called by General Grant
Pittsburg Landing, anatural object, was
named Shiloh, after a church, by his
antagonist. Rosecrans called his first
great fight with Bragg the battle of Stone
River, while Bragg named it after Muir
freesboro', village. So McClellan's
battle of the Chickahominy, q little river,
was with Lee the battle of Cold Harbor,
a tavern. The Federals speak of the
battle of Pea Ridge, Of the Ozark range
of mountains, and the Confederates call
it after Elk Horn, a country inn. The
Union soldiers called the bloody battle
three DAYS after South Mountain from
the little stream, Antietam, and the
Southern troops named it after the vii
lage of Sharpsburg. Many instances
might be given of this double naming
by the opposing forces. According to
the same law Of the unusual, the wal
songs of a people have always been writ
ten by non-combatants. The bards who
followed the banners of the feudal lords
sang of their exploits, and stimulated
them and their retainers to deeds of higt
emprise, wore no armor and carried ne
swords. So, too, the impassioned ora
tors in 1776 with the thrilling cry, Lib
erty or DEATH never once put them
selves in the way of death by lead o.
steel, by musket-ball or bayonet stab
The noisy speakers of 1861, who free
the Northern heart and who fired th'
Southern heart never did any othe
kind of firing. One of the most promi
nent of them frankly admitted that h
preferred a horizontal to a vertica
death"

words Of command, Ready Present!

cordance with the regulations for volley

place between the words PRESENT. and

Labouchere in London Truth talks
thus about the titles of Tennie c. Claf-
Inns husbands: IL observe it stated that
Mr.. Cook had the title of Viscount con-
ferred upon him in Portugal in recog-
milton of his services to that country.
The services, as set forth in his patent,
were introducing new tree into the
country. In Portugal titles can be OBJ
tanned even without services One
wav is to hire or rent for a year a field
attached to certain convent, each
tenant Of the convent being entitled to
Barony. Marshall Saldanha, when
Portuguese Ambassador here, used to
sell titles almost openly. M. Cook ap-
pears to have been made an English
Baronet for establishing an institution
for lady art students at Alexandra
House, Kensington Gore. This l regard
as a sensible mode of bestowing these
name-handles. Every one who will
subscribe largely to or found chari.
table or useful public institution should
be made Baronet. The Baronetcies
cost us nothing; the Sir before the
name is as harmless as the Esquire aft
CT it; while, if money can be obtained
for useful purposes by allowing vain
glorious persons to use the prefix in
stead of the adjunct, the more money
that is raised the better"

their lives were saved with difficulty.

Sheep-worrying Dogs and Their
Cure.

Mr.. Moore's drawing, by its extreme
truthfulness, is rather painful to me
from the clearness with which it recalls
O bloodhound that once belonged to
me, and that was obliged to sacrifice
in consequence of his habit of sheep
worrying. A way of curing this habit
has since been discovered. The wor-
ried animal is fastened under the dogs
belly with Il strong wire, so that the
dog can not possibly get rid of it, but
must trail it about wherever it goes. He
is left with his burden for whole day,
and after that he is disgusted and re-
peats the offense no more. l have tried
this with setter that worried geese,
and with perfect success. Perhaps the
mention of the remedy in this place

Reducing Taxation.

The President in his Message, and the
Secretary of the Treasury in his report,
occupy a good deal of space upon the
necessity of change in the tariff to re-
duce taxation. There is much demagog
ism in what they have to say upon the
subject. their recommendations are most
ly vague, and those which they do make
contradict the argument made to gain
favor with laborers.
There are no articles of consumption
among laboring people more common or
regarded more necessary than tea, coffee,
and sugar. The first two are now fcee and
a small duty is placed upon the last, but
we infer from the language of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Manning that they are
in favor of placing aduty upon tea and cot
fee and increasing the present ddty on
sugar OF course laborers would not re-
gard such a tax upon the breakfast table
as anything to be thankful for.
Wool also they recommend to be placed
on the free list. Farmers engaged in sheep
husbandry will desire to know what the
tair but treacherous words of the President
in his Message are worth to them when
accompanied by recommendation that
would ruin their business.

try to be traversed by these proposed con-
structions was rich in minerals, quarries,
lumber and agriculture, passing through
manufacturing centres such as oakland,
Madison and Augusta, including extensive
cotton mills and other industries at Augusta,
and through a region where Unlimited re-
sources exist for further industrial and agri-
cultural developments. He also pointed out
the sll-impOrtant saving IN mileage which
Quebec would derive from this scheme, as
the distance therefrom to the splendid harbor
of Wisessset on the seaboard, where vessels
of the largest tonnage can ride in
safety, would be only 2io miles, and some
3s5 miles nearer from the point of junction
with the Canadian Pacific to the unsurpassed
open deep sea harbor of Wiscasset than it is
from that point of junction to Halifax. 1t is
confidently believed that this great difference
of distance in favor of Wiscasset will make
it eventually the port Of shipment for freight
passing over the Canadian Pacific and des-
tined for European ports and this short line
through the KenneDec Valley NUT make it
great line of summer travel for tourists
wishing to Wait the historic city of Quebec
and its beautiful surroundings and the River
St Lawrence and ultimately make Hiscasset
the favorite port for the arrival en-! departure
Of passengers in winter zine between Canada
and Europe.
On Mr.. Atkinson resuming his seat, the
President rose and in the name of the COun-
ell and Board thanked the honorable gentle
man tor the clear exposition of the proposed
scheme afforded to the meeting, and a ded,
that he might rest assured that the best atten-
ton Of the Council would be given to the
SUBJECT at an early date when, without undulv
anticipating results, he was sure every posi-
bic corporation would be accorded towards
strengthening the position taken by him and
towards accomplishing results which are of
such a promising nature.

The Fisheries.

The President devotes some space to
consideration of the fisheries question,
but saws nothing that will afford satisfac-
ton to our injured fishermen. Nothing
has been done to remedy their grievances
and injuries. The President does venture
to hint that the Canadian authorities have
conducted improperly, but he goes no
farther than to express hope that in
some way the difficulties will be settled in
a peaceful manner. For a second Andrew
Jackson this is a very mild way of treating
so important matter.

A special meeting of the Council of the

rooms. Exchange Building yesterday, for the
purpose of having an interview with the Hon
orahle VIM Atkinson of North Arson,
Maine.
The President Joseph Shehyn, Esq. NJ.
p z opened the meeting and referred to
the ssbject about to be brought up, promis-
ing that the honorable gentleman now pres
ent would doubtless give such information on
the proposed scheme as would ultimately
pave the way for closer and more profta-
Bile commercial intercourse between our
dominion and the people of the neighboring
State of Maine, and United States generally.
He then introduced the Honorable w. At
kinson TO the meeting.
Mr. Atkinson stated that he was happy on
this suspicious occasion TO meet leading mer-
camille representatives of a city where he had
already been so kindly received He then
read communications which he had received
from influential gentlemen in Maine con-
nected with this enterprise, among them one
from Hon. j. Il. Bodwell, Governor-elect of
Maine and President of the NJ & X. Rail-
road, relative to the desrsbility of his early
visit to Quebec. He briefly and forclblv
gave an outline of the works al
ready completed and of the future
requirements necessary in order to
bring The Dominion via. Quebec into un-
hr ken connection with the Maine Central

that after the completion of the Quebec
