Fur Trapping.

One would hardly suppose that trap
ping for fur would be thought of by the
most inveterate "leather stockings" of
the period, in this old, settled region
Of country, wild animals having become
extinct, but this is far from the fact.
We can still boast of living type OF
these heroes-o of the frontier who fill 50
conspicuous place in the history of
civilization, as it forced its way into
the western wilderness amid wild ad-
ventures and hair-breath escapes, The
exploits of the daring adventures in
the last quarter of the 18th, and first
quarter of the present century furnish
ed Cooper with his choicest material
which made his novels famous.
But despite the bosom of civilization
which swept before it the wild
ansmals and men OF the Amer
lean woods, there still remain
ed class of fur bearing animals
which proved their fruits to remain
and share in defiance of man, their nat
ural enemy, the finest of the land, of,
their nativity, although changed in
its every feature by the destroying
hand of civilized man.
The hero of our present sketch is
named Pen Shade, piquant, quaint
name just such cognomeu as Cooper
would have delighted to have chosen
for one of his favorite heroes infinitely
more attractive and taking than "Natty
Bumpo," the "Deer Slayer" Jasper"
etc. Pen is lightly formed, 1.-THE and
sinue man of medium hight. with pleas
ant countenance, and small grey eyes,
with a sharp twinkle in their glance. He
conceived the idea, Of making these
former haunts of the beaver, deer and
bear, trapping ground for such small
game as survived the determination
of their more noble contemporaries

that they procured the liquor out of
the state. And also impose q penal
ty for being found drunk, more sew
er than the present one. The cry
has been against the grog seller. q nd
he has been the subject of an unlim
tied amount of abuse. 1t is high
time that the real offender should be
looked after. A man who deliberat-
ely mouses about, hunting up whisk
ey is a worse character than the man
who sells it. 1t is the buyers who
make the sellers. They are the orig.
inators of the offense against the law
and the perjuredlcriminals who are
the means Of the failure of all our
courts to convict the dealers. Their
evidence proves them to be the real
culprits in their own estimation, and
they feel justified in not testifying
against themselves. If it was not for
their deliberate perjury the law
would be enforced and liquor selling
would be thing of the past. Make
the law to take hold of them, with
an unremitting grip and there will b.
no trouble in it's execution.
There is another weak point in
nearly all prohibitory laws. Drug
gists are allowed a carte blanche, a.
it were, to sell. That is they sell on
physicians prescription, and the
physician is left without restraint at
his discretion, to give prescriptions
for whiskey to all who apply, if he is
disposed to do SO. Physicians and
druggists are mortal. They too, al
though necessarily intelligent men.
have their percentage of black sheep
in the told, and the love Of gain ex-
erts the same influence over them
that it does over the great bulk of
mankind. This lax feature of the
law should be amended also. They
know when they are wontonly violat-
ing the law and there should be an
avenue to the punishment of the
guilty parties, both for the dignity
of the laws sake and the protection
of the upright and conscientious
membeas of these callings.

Lane Express, in its review Of the
British gram trade during the past week,
says: Sparse oilers OF native wheat
are attracting the attention Of the trade,
and il is now believed that the crop has
been largely oVer-estima,ed. It is now
calculated at only 6.5O0, 600, and the
prominent market supplies are rather
greater. Values have not risen. The
sales OF English wheat during the week
were 1888 quarters at Bis lid, against
IS, 2lS quarters at 30s 9d during the cor
responding period last year. In London
the trade for whe1t is tirmer and values
are generally Cd higher, with Is advance
on American. Russian and choice In
dian. The prices Of -four and corn are
maintained. There are large supplies
OF oats and the market is dull. Two
cargoes of wheat arrived, two cargOes
were sold and five were withdrawn. The
market was clear OF the supply OF Sat

was q limited trade. Wheat was in

Portland Yacht club crulso.

With a clear sky and a fair breeze the
Yacht Club started on its annual cruise last
Saturday afternoon and dropped anchor in
Potts Harbor after pleasant sail of two
hours. While preparations for supper. were
being made the Idler, Daphne, Clarence and
Pinafore who were unable to start with the
other, arrived, and the fleet comprising the
Oracle, Willie, Lena, May, Tempus, Leila,
Constance and Zero presented prettysssight
with eolors flying and everything in ship
shape order. The evening was quite warm
and the yachtsmen occupied the time in pay
ing calls on one another and bowling on
shore. Early morning found everyone on
deck, and when the commodore's gun was
fired the fleet got under way for New Mead
ows with fair sailing breeze, and everyone
happy with the beautiful weather. The
yachts presented handsome sight off Ragged
Islands, all in line with the exception of the
Daphne who had to return to Harpswell and
the Tempus and Pinafore who were unable
to continue the trip. New Meadows basin
was reached in season for dinner, although
several of the crafts made misjudgement Of
currents, and in the excitement of heading
the fleet pet broke his oar, and heard
from the captain and crew for the mishap
which allowed the Commodore to slip in
ahead.
After few hours spent on shore, sail was
made for Cundy's Harbor and the run down
was most exciting, especially when the ''Wil-
lie'' overhauled and passed the Constance"
and arrived close on the "Clarence's' heels
who had just the wind necessary for sailing
her best, and dropped anchor first in the
beautiful harbor. Several laughable Incl
dents ashore will make this harbor memora-
BILE to those who participated in the cruise
and especially to those who went aboard the
Willes tender. Monday morning dawned
pleasant, and after breakfast the fleet set
sail for Diamond Cove with good breeze
which failed to last however, but after an
hours cain the yachts reached this lovely
spot early in the afternoon, although the
Zero and Willie arrived two hours before the
others, who kept inside instead of standing
down through Husseys Sound. The Leila,
Constance and Lena May kept on to the city
and the others after pleasant stay got un-
der way, arriving home at six o'clock The
cruise was certainly great success, and one of
the best as well as the largest in the number
participating. No accidents were recorded,
except Mates" whose recovery was rapid,
and the skipper of the Zero who damaged a
finger. The recollection of the pleasures of
the cruise will long be remembered as one of
the most enjoyable in the history of the Climb

his opponents some difficult pitching NOS

the visitors succession of base hits and SIX
runs. This gave the Brocktons lead Oh
four runs and the game thereafter was close

hauled their opponents. Madden settled to
his work in fine shape, the hits by the Brock
tons all being singles and the club gave him
strong backing.
At the conclusion of the seventh inning
the score stood to 6, in favor Of the BROCK

Massachusetts Druggists in Council

BOSTON, June 3.-The fifth annual meet
ing of the Massachusetts Pharmaceutical
Association was continued tsday. Twenty
seven delinquent members were reported,
and their names were dropped from the
rolls On the question whether OF not it was
advisable to ask the legislature for uniform
liquor license for pharmacists throughout
the State, it was voted that it was desirable
to do so. On the question of more stringent
laws for the sale of opium and kindred med
icines, it was voted that moral law was
about the only restraint that would be effica-
cious. 1t was, however, voted that mole
stringent laws against persons were needed.
1t was voted to accept the invitation of the
Holyoke druggists to hold the next annual
convention in that place, and an adjourn
ment was made till June, 1887.
