Noah Webster.
lul st AMFRICN.

Was Noah Webster a great man His
name has no place IN history or politics his
voice was never heard in the halls Of Con-
sress; hi- wealth never attracted the adj
mIring gaze Of the shallow and false he
cared nothing for fashion, position and re-
uown; X never sought but raj her summed,
fashionable society and. perhaps in that
sense which inclines the MASSES to idoIz4
some character prominent by virtue of the
eclat or romance of his life he was not great
man but from the standpoint o: true man
hood he had large measure of the elements,
Of greatness and nobility. Re!igiousiy he
made no great demonstrations, vet hl, whole
life was IN harmony with the anlmu, Of the
gospel precepts, a type Of religion than
which We can conceive no higher. He was
a good citizen, a good husband, good faith
er and a true man; and no reflective mind
can contemplate the work he performed, the
influence he still rxerts and viii continue TO
exert on the education or America and Eu-
rope, without according 10 him the rminence
which Ne . rlchly deserves true great

Bar Harbor Dudes.

The dude is again to the fore, says Bar
Harbor correspondent. Cold weather npped
him like budding flower, but, ,coaxed by the
warm weather. he once more unfolds his
petals and may be seen with his thin clothes
on posturing and exposing his languid form
for admiration. A few minutes en- any of
the hotel piazzas will amply repay the OBJ
server just as study Of variety in mascu-
line seaside costume. Of course fiannels
carry the day with coats in some cases which
would have made Joseph pale with envy.
Stripes of many colors, with caps to match,
are neat enough, and chess board patterns
pass, but pair of knickerbocker corduroys,
surmounted by Norfolk coat, with band,
and large check cap, with peak fore and
aft, English style and pair of ear protec-
tors tied together by means of a ribbon bow
on the top-that breaks us up, Then a
young mau who wears red and blue canvas
shirts and has neckties made Of the same
material, who covers his scalp with a Tam
O'Shanter cap Of exaggerated proportions
and never sits still would certainly not come
up to Oscar Wlde's ideal. But these are
only exceptions to the rule Of neat aud com
! Portable dress which is characteristic of the
F, men here. There are plenty Of yachtsmen
/ about, looking as brown as gypsies. What
can be neater than their rough serge suits,
/ brown leather shoes and yachting caps, or
| dress serge and white waistcoat? They are
always welcome, more especially we can
vouch, to the female portion of the conf
| munlty.

The mass meeting, called in the interest
Of prohibition, was convened in city hall on
Wednesday 18th inst After the meeting
was organized, Mr.. volney Gushing of Ban
gor was called upon to address the meeting.
Mr.. c. spoke for nearly one half hour with
considerable eloquence. At the close, it
was announced that Neal Dow would ad-
dress the meeting at o'clock p. NJ This
was sufficient 10 cause the hall to be filed at
an early hour. As a temperance advocate,
MIR. Dow has few equals, in this State As
one listened to his manly voice, and marked
his quick movements upon the stage, it could
hardly be imagined that he is man 50
years of age. He is of large size, fine form,
deep blue eyes, over which hangs fine and
high smooth forehead. He is an exceeding
ly interesting speaker.
The death of Mr. Ramsdell, the well
known gunsmith of this town, caused a de-
gree Of sadness and surprise, throughout
the Town. Failing health and pecunary
embarrassment probably were the causes OF
his committing the rash deed He came in
to his store in the morning. as usual, went
into back room, and there deliberately
sho; himself The ball passed through his
head He lived but few minutes.

The Sign Of Distress.

Twas avid dreary night in the cherries

Twas night only lit by meteor's CLEAN:
Twas the night of that night, distinctly re-
That my soul journeyed forth on the wings OF

That dream found me happy, by tried friends

ENJOYING with rapture the comforts of wealth.
My cup overlooking with blessings unbounded
My heart fully charged from the fountains OF

The dream left me wretched-by friendship
forsaken.
Detected, despsiring. and wrapped in dismay
By poverty, sickness and sorrow oertaken
To every temptation and passion a prey.
In frenzy. the wine cup instantly 9uaffed at .
And habit and time made me quaff to excess,
But heated by wine, like mailman, laughed

York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In
1861 the country presented condition
brought about by nearly an entire genera
ton OF Free Trade, and the aggregate
amount which the people had accumulated
IN their Savings Banks during that long Pc
riod was less than one hundred and sixty
millions of dollars. In the same States on
the frs, day Of January, 1886, the aggre
gate amount in the savings banks was over
one thousand and twenty millions of dollars
lhe difference IN the amount of savings in
Maine for the two periods show that in
January, 1861, the people had less than
million and half in the bank. while in jan
uary. 1856, the people had over ,hirty-six
millions in the bank
During this period it must be remembered
that the increase Of population in the nine
States has been about thirty-tye per cent
while the increase of deposits in savings
banks has been at the rate of eight hun
dred per cent.
Ii must be remembered that seventy. FIVE
per cent. Of this vas, sum belongs 10 the
wage workers. The vas, number Of de-
positors may be inferred from the fact that
IN Maine, where the aggregate population is
less than seven hundred thousand. the thr-
ty-six millions of deposits are divided be-
tween 10000 persons, showing that about
one in six of the total population is de-
positor aid that the average to each 10 about
three hundred and twenty dollars.
The figures with which We are dealing
have been confined to the nine States named
because in 1861 the manufacturing done in
this country was mainly conided to those
States. But the thousand millions OF saw
ings by the workers within their borders be-
come still more significant, as an economic
fact when We remember that since 1861 the
great body of Northwestern States under
the inspiring influence of Protective Tariff
have in turn developed an enormous aggre-
CATION Of manufacturing industries. Ohio,
Indiana. Michigan. Illinois. Wisconsin. are
no longer devoted TO agriculture solely. but
have mass Of manufacturing industries
larger in aggregate value than all the manu-
factures in all the States Of the Union on
the day Mr.. Lincoln was first naugurated.
And yet another comparison may be made
still more embarrassing to the Free Trade
doctr'ndires and more difficult for them 10
answer While the American workmen IN
nine states. working under protective tar
if, have over a thousand millions Of dollar 5
IN savings banks, the vastly greater mass ui
working men in England. Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, the whole United Kingdom. all
working under free trade have less than four
hundred millions Of dollars in the aggre-
gate both in savings banks and postal
banks. These figures and these dollars are
the most persuasive Of argument and the
conclusion they teach is SO plain tha, the
running man may read

1t would appear to laymen in the
doctrine of finance that the Silver ques-
ton is to be made appear as great a
bugbear as was the notorious Green
back question. No laylnan ever learn
ed that the question had been settled
pro and con, except as it settled itself
under natural laws, neither has any one
learned that Oh account of the failure
by direct action to settle it, that the
affairs of this country have been unset
tied or upset. We are of the opinion
that in matters of national finance in
this country, theorists have been in the
habit of declaring loudly and then in
year or so, they have discovered that
after the line Of none Of their arSu-
ments have the natural laws of bust
ness finally and fxedly settled the
question. They then drop it, perforce,
and look up something new; the great
Silver Bugaboo is the latest novelty
and it will arrange its own law in a
year or two and ,hen-what?
