Round the World.

"Round the World in One Evening is
pretty broad field for lecturer, but such
was tine subject of Mr.. M. M. Ballou's lee
ture last evening. The gentleman is well
known to the public by his connection with
Ballou's Pictorial and the Boston Globe, and
also by his books of foreign travel. He is
man who is not only observing but is able to
write out his observations in such way
that they are exceedingly interesting and in
structiye. As lecturer he is not yet quite
at home. He is forced into comparison with
others who have obtained great regulations,
and naturally not to his advantage,
But what he has to say is good, and the
amount of information impaired in an even
ing is something astonishing. Then, again,
his operator has not yet learned to work in
such harmony with Mr.. Ballou that the pic
lures appear and disappear in natural and
easy connection with the scenes the lecturer
is, at the moment describing, and they do
not come out on the canvas with sufficient
clearness and brilliancy SO that the eye Of
the spectator is more easily tired.
The lecturer commenced by saying he
should attempt briefly to describe in single
evening what had required of him fourteen
months to perform. The audience were talk
en- over a complete circuit of the globe, and
upon divers routes. Many different coun-
tries and peoples were described. The de-
scription of the gem of Mohammedan archi-
lecture, the Tai at Agra, India, was most
poetic, and the eloquent remarks relating 10
the Alhambra at Grenada we're glowing with
apprecat ton, historic memories and pathos.
Japan, China, Ceylon, India. Spain, and
other lands were reviewed in detail. In
speaking of the latter country. Mr.. Ballou
said: I'm the sixteenth century, Spain
threatened to become the mistress of the
world, as Rome had been! before her, but
how rapid has been her decadence! AS In
the plenitude of her power she was ambi-
tious and perfdious. SO has the measure
she melted to others been in turn accorded to

GOLD AND SILVER IN MAINE.
A Company Organized to Mine in Day
Mountain.

About five years ago the following APP
peared in the Pennington Chronicle:
ssIt is believed vein of gold and silver bearing
rock has been discovered In the town of Avon, at
the foot Of Day Mountain, The vein i eight teet
and one half feet below the surface. The rock
adjacent is talcose schst and trap rock"
Yesterday number of gentlemen from
this State and Massachusetts, who have been
looking into the matter for some time past,
met at the Falmouth Hotel to organize min
ing company which is to be Incorporated as
a corporation under the laws of the State.
The president is well known as Grand
Treasurer OF the Maine Grand Lodge OF
Good Templars, and is member of the I'd
district Republican Congressional committee.
At the meeting yesterday the following Of
ficers were elected:
President-Everett B. Norton, Pennington,
Clerk and Treasurer L. Crook, Boston,
Mining NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. w. Norton,
Directors ~Kryin 4. Crook, Everett B. Norton
and Geo. w. Norton.
The capital stock of the company is $780,
600. Day Mountain is in Franklin County,
and it is in the foot hills Of this mountain
that the rock containing gold and silver has
been discovered. Prof John Halliday.
chemist and assayer, formerly of Boston, af-
ter having made assays of the ore, reports
the rock to contain from $40 to $40 per ton.
The bulk of the gold and silver ore OF Cali
fornia yields from SIS to $40 per ION, and it
costs from SO to So to get the ore out The
vein discovered in Day Mountain seems 10
be richer than the average California rock
and the cost of mining it, it is claimed, Will
be much less. Some time ago several mug
gets Of pure gold were found near this place
In Sandy river and company was organized
to work the bed of the river This, in the
opinion of the present company, was mis-
take, the whole vein being farther up the
stream.
The purpose of the company is to develop
the vein lately discovered, and they feel
quite confident of success. An assay OF the
ore made in October. 1881. by Prof. Halliday,
shows the valuation pei 1900 pounds to be as
follows:
Cold ........-......-........-.. f..'SO.V1
Silver. -. 900
Later examinations revealed ore of great
er valuation per ton. 1t is claimed that the
geology of the surrounding country Is very
| similar to that of the Black Hills, and that
| the vein discovered is a part of the gold belt
| that extends through the Northern States
and torritorias of fha Tinted States.

Cen. Neal Dow Accepts.

The following is Gen. Neal BOWS letter
accepting the Prohibtory nomination:
PORTLAND, Feb. IA, 1888.
To Messrs John S. White, Il. I. Brroces,
s. +. Pearson:
Gentlemen:-Your note of this date is just
received, notifying me of my nomination as
Prohibition candidate for Mayor for the en-
suing year. / would gladly decline the
nomination but do not feel myself at liberty
to do so.
It is fitting that our fellow citizens should
know what the reasons are which have in
duced us to withdraw from our former poll
tical affiliations and to form distinct asso-
citation for the purpose of accomplishing the
complete suppression of the liquor traffic.
There is no matter so important to-day to
the interests of the people of Portland as
protection to them and their children from
the infinite mischief and misery coming
fro M the grog shops.
We raise by taxation and spend great
deal of money every year for the support OF
schools, that our children may be trained in
them to be useful members OF. society and
good citizens. The grog shops are schools
also, as truly as those which we maintain at
so heavy costs, but they are schools OF the
devil whose pupils are trained to be bad
members of society, burden to the State
and sorrow and curse to all with whom
they are connected. Poor people waste their
wages, their time and health there, and
leave their wives and children to starve and
freeze, or to be supported by the earnings
and economies of the sober part of the COM
munity. There are none among us, what
ever their position, who are free from the
great danger always coming from such
places wherever they are permitted.
The grog shops, as they now exist in Port
land are scandal to our city and reproach
to our people who profess to be friends OF
law and order. They constitute the great
obstacle to the rapid spread of the policy Of
prohibition throughout the Union and Cana
da and in all the English speaking world. |
am confident that there is not Christian
voter in Portland who does not heartily dis
approve the State of things existing here so
far as the grog shops are concerned and who
does not in his heart confess that it is q
reproach to our people, our city and the
State. The formation of a prohibition party
is intended to change all this. The glog
shops have been suppressed in Portland
and generally throughout the State, and that
result can again be realized This we desire
to accomplish and we feel ourselves entitled
to call on all good men to help in doing so.
hope all such persons will pardon me for
saying that it could not exist here without
their express consent as inferred from their
votes. Judge no man. To our Master on
ly, we stand or fall; but | may suggest that
the ballot, to every intelligent and upright
man, is sacred trust, not TO be disposed Of
capriciously or for personal or unworthy con-
siderations, but in the love and fear of God,
only for the public welfare and the happiness
OF the people. NEAL Dow.
