RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE MAINE CENTRAL.


The rumor that the Maine Central shops
are to be removed from Waterville to Port
land, provided the railroad commissioners
refuse to condemn the strip of land desired
by the road adjoining their present tract in
Waterville, is pronounced as unfounded by
the officials of the road. Work is already
progressing for the new shops and it is eX.
pected that the difficulty about the land will
be adjusted soon.

a Woman's Pluck.

Several years ago the family of Capt. Ma
thaniel Blanchard was one of the best known
in social circles in Portland. They occupied
the large mansion at the corner of High and
Pleasant streets. west side, that has since
been turned into two dwellings. Capt
Blanchard was also the owner of the stores
on Fore street, west side of Pearl street, and
other valuable wharf property. Capt. Blan-
chard became unfortunate, the family prop
erty was sold, the captain and his wife died,
and the family moved away.
One of the daughters, Miss Helen A. Blan-
chard, after the family left town, tried her
hand at keeping boarding house in Boston.
The attempt proved unsuccessful, and she
then moved to Philadelphia and entered the
employ of a large clothing house where she
had charge of sewing machine. One day, in
a fit of desperation, she kicked over the sew
ing machine, declaring she would not drudge
aalong in that way any longer She had OBJ
served that if in gentlemen's fine under
wear the stitch was improved the value of
the goods would be much enhanced. She
invented this over-seam stitch and it ''took''
at once. From her patent has grown large
industry from which she has reaped a for
tune. Not satisfied with this, she also in
vented the band in gentlemen's hats, which
prevents the perspiration staining the hat,
and from this patent also she enjoys large
royalty, and has been enabled not only to
enjoy the luxuries of life herself, but afford
them to her family.
Miss Blanchard, however, was not satisfied
that the old family property should remain
in the hands of strangers. She has been
visiting the vicinity of Portland lately, and
she has placed in the hands of lher attorney,
Mr. George NJ Soldiers, the authority to re-
purchase the old mansion, and the stores,
which will be placed in the same condition
they enjoyed when the family was at the
best estate. If this is not good instance of
woman's pluck and energy we don't know
where one will be found.

Address to the Police.

Last evening Marshal Hawkes. delivered a
short address to the police making the sug-
gestion that they should always demean
themselves in way that would reflect credit
upon the force abstaining from anything
that would give an opportunity for adverse
criticism. He felt he could do this all the
more freely sin ce he felt the force was as
effective as that in any city of the size of

Distress After Eating

Is one of the many disagr eeable symptoms of
dyspepsia. Headache, heartburn, sour stomach
fantness and capricious appetite are also caused
by this very widespread and growing disease
Hoods Sarsaparilla tones the stomach, creates
an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves
the headache, and cures the most obstinate cases
of dyspepsia. Read the following:
"NIy wife had dyspepsia. She could not keep
her food down, and had that oppressed feeling
after eating. She had no appetite, and was tired
all the time. She tried numerous medicines with
out being relieved, but the first bottle Of Hoods
Sarsaparla did her great deal of good. She
has taken two bottles, and can eat anything with
out distress, and has trouble in retaining food.
