of the school lyceums of this city upon
the novel and momentous question of
woman suffrage"
The debaterQpon the anti-woman"
side was doubtless engaged in his first
effort, and this fact, together with a
slight impeachment of speech and most
original series of arguments, combined
to produce one of the funniest and most
unanswerable speeches that | had ever
heard. Here it is, almost in full:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first
thing to find out is w-w-what man was
m-made for, and what woman was
made for. God created Adam first
and put him in the garden of Eden.
T-then He made Eve, and p-put her
there, too. If He hadn't c-c-created
Eve there never would have been all
the s-s-sin there is now in this w-world.
If He hadn't made Eve she never would
have p-p-picked the apple and eaten it.
N-n-no, she never would have picked it
and g-given it to Adam to eat. Paul
in his epistles says w-w-women should
k-k-keep still. And besides, llsdies
and gentlemen, women couldn't fill the
offices. l d-d-defy any one to p-point
out woman in this city or c-c-county

t-turn out in the dead of night to track
and arrest a m-m-murderer? / say

of applause and laughter the gallant
defender of mans rights triumphantly
took his seat.-Harper's Magazine.

ROARING PEMAQUlD.


the Atlantic Coast.
Pemaquid Point, near Damariscotta,
Me-, has been said to be, in gale
from any point of the compass between
southeast and southwest, the toughest
point on the Atlantic coast. 1t is liter
ally out to sea, and the waves of the
Atlantic, rolling in from three thou
sand miles of ocean without let or him
drance, break with explosive roar upon
its bastions of stone, which are worn
into endless forms by the attrition and
abrasion of ages. 1t is very rarely that
any point of the mainland possesses all
the conditions of an uninterrupted
breaking place for the waves of the
ocean. Outlying rocks or islands or
the conformation of the adjacent coast
usually, break up or check the course of
the waves long before reaching the
mainland Nothing lies between Pema-
auid Point and the broad Atlantic, and
even in the calmest moods of sea the
roar of the surf upon its walls is re-
markable. When the southerly gale is
on, the spray is flung hundreds of feet
into the air. The noise is deafening.
Huge pieces of rock are broken from
the projecting wall and thrown up on
the bank. Pemaquid lighthouse stands
on the promontory, several hundred
feet back from the edge, with the house
of the keeper adjoining it. The light
is at least three hundred feet above the
sea level. Yet int southerly gale a
few years ago large stone was hurled
by the waves through the thick glass
of the lantern, and the spray came
| down the chimneys of the house in
such quantities as to extinguish the
| fires.
History and legend also lend their at
fractions to Pemaquid. No part of the
country was earlier known to voyagers.
The ships of Pring, Weymouth and
Gilbert had plowed these waters long
before the settlement of jamestown,
and Pemaquid was the rival of Ply
mouth and Boston as a metropolis in
the infancy of New England. The old
fort at the harbor was for near cent
ury on the disputed territory between
Massachusetts, and Acadia. Governor
Chamberlain claims for Pemaquid ar
older date than Plymouth. Few
know" he says, s'that years before the
Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth sands
there were established English settle
ments at various points on the shores
Maine-that Pemaquid was a seat o.
trade. and at one time the metropolis
of all the region east of New York. y

ADMIRABLE PEOPLE.
Wise Observations of Which the Last One
Is Undeniably the Best.


Itmay not make much difference to
you, gentle reader, whether you re-
ceive a portion of my admiration or
not, but the people who can make the
following chilly facts fit them are to be
admired, not only by myself, but by
the rest of mankind.

crowd how straight he would drive 1t,
and all that sort of thing-but bear in
mind that man couldn' do half so well
himself. Well, the man who differs
from the above pen-picture deserves to
be admired.
The Young lady who can admire,
without a touch of spite, the new poke
bonnet of an acquaintance, while she
still wears her old one, isworthy OF the

The man who doesn't swear Ito use

umbrella stolen, with ten minutes to

and the rain getting in its work man

The person that won't hold baby

to get '.lunch" is a subjectof admlra-
ton. A..
Another person to be admired is the
nroud father who can watch the prog
ress of the baby's first tooth without
telling his entire circle OF friends ABOUT

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S Augua
Flocer and Bosc7ee's German Syrup,
as the reduction Of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
more medicine in the rs cent size.
The august Flover for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have, perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage Of increased size OF the bot
ties will be greatly appreciated by
the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries.
Sample bottles for ten cents remain
the same size.

On last Thursday the Trial Justice
here was engaged in hearing a very
novel case, and we might add, an i'm
portant one. About year ago the
County Commissioners ordered open
ed a new road leading to Summerton.
1t seems from what followed that a
large number of the citizens Of this
Township, Concord, failed to see the
advertisement posted by the Com
missioners. When the oyerseer Of
this Township ordered the road hands
to appear and work this road, about
one hundred and fifty, in fact nearly
all the citizens of the Township, refus-
ed to obey. The overseer reported
the matter to the Trial Justice and
a warrant was issued for twenty-four
of tie hands. They were arrested
and the trial came of, Thursday. 1t
was proven that the road was regular
II opened, and that the defendents
were warned ETC., and openly disre-
garded the law. The verdict of the
Jury summoned to try the case was
mot guilty" We can only account
for the verdict on the ground that the
sentiment created by $50 or 200 men
Influenced the opinion of the Jury.
