full, and majority OF those present were women.
The meeting was called to order by Prof. Gowen,
who stated the object OF the meeting He said
the prohbtory question WAS the greatest question
before the people, apd introduced as the first
speaker of the evening the slver.tongued orator
of the Quantabacook-Prof. Bateman. The pro-
fessor began by saying that they met at an inaus-
picious time, when the shadow of death hung over
the city. He referred to the death OF Mr. Rust
and paid glowing tribute to the memory Of that
gentleman. The professor than wandered through
Europe, and after reference to the histories of
Greece and Rome got down to the Rer",ncan
party, whose mission, he said. ..,.rd with the
abolition of slavn:, and the settlement Of the
question, growing out OF the war of the rebellion
file pictured the downfall of the Wing party and
the of its death, criticised Mr.. Blaine for
not voting on the prohibitory amendment four
years ago, and completely annihilated the Repub-
lcan party
Mr.. Gushing, the candidate for Governor, was
then introduced. MIR. Gushing is an interesting
speaker, and compels your attention whether you
agree with him or not. He said parties have a
career of about twenty five years, when they give
way to others. The party Of the future he thought
would be the prohibitory. He characterized the
tariff question humbug and held up both the
old parties to ridcule. Unlike the majority of
prohbtory speakers Mr. Gushing has no choice
between the Democratic and Republican parties.
He deplored the influence Of the saloon in politics
and asked his hearers to affiliate with the prohib
itory party, declaring that their votes were not
thrown away, as it Is a national party.

TALKS ABOUT THE NATIONAL CAPITOL. Rev.
George +. Tufts of the Baptist Church in this city,
last Sunday evening continued his talks on what
he saw at Washington. He gave a history of the
American Baptist Publication Society and told of
the vast amount Of work 1t is doing. Able men are
continually translating the Bible into all languages
and the printing presses are turning them out
for the missionary. Mr.. Tufts spoke of the pension
Office as the plainest government building In Wash
ington What impressed him most was the magni-
tude Of every thing at the National Capitol-the
great width Of the avenues and Streets and the
large and numerous parks. Everything Is spread
out on grand SCALE lie described his visit to the
White House and his call upon the President The
White House is finely situated in grounds eighty
acres in extent. laid ont in lawns and shrubbery.
The Red Room is the most extravaganty furnish
cd room In the building. Mr.. Tufts then spoke Of
his sail down the Potomac and his visit to Mt. Yer
non, the home Of Washington. He said the home
stead derived its name from Admiral Vernon, of
the British navy. who was great friend OF Law
renee Washington, the brother Of George, and the
then owner Of the estate. Mr.. Tufts thought it
strange that the government had not bought this
estate 1t was kept in the Washington family until
1853 when an association Of ladies called the
Ladies' Mt. Vernon Association bought it for $780,.
CO., and the estate is to be kept in perpetuity. The
estate was originally very large but the Washing
tons had sold 1t OF, and at the time it was bought
by the ladies 1t numbered only 200 acres. Mr..
Tufts said he inquired concerning the descendants
Of Washington who arc quite numerous, but are
degencrated race The representatives of the father
OF his country to-day very inferior people. The
slave houses have gone to decay but the remainder
Of the buildings have been kept up. The room In
which Washington died remains as 1t was In 1893.
Visitors are not allowed to enter. MIR. Tufts
visited the tomb where lie the remains Of WASH
ington and his wife Martha. He exhibited n
coffee bean, bought on the estate, which grew on
. tree planted by Washington, the gift OF Thomas
Jefferson. These talks have been very interesting
and instructive, and Mr.. Tufts says he shall en-
large upon them ut some future time.

THE MILK MAIDS DRILL. The Universalist
society Of this city gave excellent entertainment
at COOmb's skating rink last Thursday evening
The exercises consisted of music, singing, and =
drill by fifty six young ladies' who for some time
had been under the instruction of Prof. Rankin OF
Boston. The young people acquitted themselves
finely, rejecting much credit their instructor.
The rink was well filed. A portion of Sanborn's
orchestra furnished music, assisted by Misses
johnson and Fauncc, pianists. The grand march
was headed by Miss Edith Ryder, as captain of the
squad. The young ladies' were very prettiy and
appropriately dressed, and each one carried a
three legged milking stool. During the march the
squad sang, Miss Charlotte I. COlburn leading.
The fifty six milk maids ranged from young ladies'
of twenty or more down to misses of six or eight.
The evolutions were perfect and some Of them
were very fine. such as forming crosses, etc. AZ
ter the march the captain put the company through
the manual of arms, or rather stools. The last or.
der was "parade rest" when the stools were plac-
ed on the floor and all were seated. While the
squad was resting Mrs. Ralph II. Howes and Prof.
Rankin sang. and responded to an encore. A re-
cess followed, when Ice cream and cake were serv-
cd. When order was again restored select squad
Of sixteen Of the larger young ladies gave an ex-
cellent drill practice, which was Handsomely ap-
plauded. The entertainment closed with = drill
by the entire company. While all did well, much
praise is due to the captain, Miss Ryder, who
handled her company like veteran. Before
the audience dispersed Mr.. J. w. Knowlton sold
many Of the stools at auction. Some of them were
very handsomely hand. painted. and brought from
80 cents to d 81 each.

''Carpcntering is too slow way for
a fellow TO get rich." lie said, ''you
have 20 fool away two or three good
years OF your life learning the busi-
ness before you can make any thing

make more in "A year In business life
than he can In five years as builder" :"
Six months later he was found in an
uninyiting little room with a case or
two Of eggs and several tubs Of butter,
having gone into business for himself
on borrowed money.
"Clerking don't pay" he said. "The
sooner "a fellow gets into business for
himself the better, and | tell you
there's clear profit Of onc-half on
every dollar you take in in this butter
and egg business; il pays big"
Evidently he didn't take in many
dollars, for he was soon after found in
business college learning stenogra-
ply and type-writing.
There's big money in it," he said,
enthusiastically, "and there was too
much competition in the butter and

concluded % study law.

He next went West, but instability
and lack Of purpose are worth no more
there than in the East, and he came
back pronOuncing the West the great
est humbug Of the age.
He tried canyassing, reporting, type
writing and bookkeeping, but gave up
each occupation for something that
promised immediate and great wealth.
He has married in the meantime,

boarded, kept house, took their meals
out and rented a lOdging-house. With
