The National League.

: The following games In the National League
were PLAYED Yesterday:
The Portland daily press., 1888-06-27
This flaa that we fight

or to discuss men. This flag that we fight
under Is the flag that we shall march to vic
tory under. The time has been, and not long
since, when Confederate chieftain march,
ed In Virginia, and he was endeayoring to
awaken the enthusiasm of the old Dominion
by an exhibition Of the rebel grey.
The time will surely come, If the Demo-
cratic party can have its way, and Cleveland
have his way, when the campaigns in the
South will be enlivened, and enthusiasm
aroused, by having the old Confederate bat
tie flags over their heads
1t is a strange thing, indeed, when the
man who pretends to be the chief magistrate
of this country, must stand up before this
country and say he is ignorant Of the laws
of this country.
We will march on; we are bound to con-
Quer for we are in the right.
All the traditions of the parties are now
centred in the issues which we maintain
during this campaign.
With these remarks, / have but one more
sentiment to offer, and that is,
"The union of hearts,
The union of hands,
And the flag of our Union forever"
AT the close Of Mr.. Lunt's speech, there
were more cheers, the band played, and the
great crowd slowly dissolved

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusyely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling sem
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
ceed will, In time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous. and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle Of Boschees German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. nov8-d1y-cT

No explanation has reached us of the
strange fire and accompanying display of
rockets seen off Cape Porpoise one evening
last week.
A few small mackerel and other fresh bait
is being taken in the Richmond Island pound
and the shore fishing vessels are now seen to
congyegate there.
Farmers in this section are all complaining
of the dry, hot days, lack Of rain and the
consequent ravages Of vegetable vermin.
Young squash, cucumbers and cabbage
plants are being devoured by bugs, and the
only vegetation that seems to thrive is the
noxious weed. 1t is found especially difficult
to save the young cabbage plants. The

weather is putting them forward wonderful

The visiting and picnic season at the Two
Lights began quite month earlier than in

family, after seeing the lights and paying
them many compliments went to the Ocean
House and had supper.
Certain Portland traders ask why they do
not receive the usual amount of custom from
the several families residing at the Two
Lights. The explanation is found in the
fact that within a yeaI the horn of the fish
monger. the coffee-mill of the grocer, and
the butchers CORY form, ea.h appear semi
weekly at our. doors. We still have to go to
the city for the fashions, medicine and the
staff of life.

this most delicate yet most important ques-
tion. Mothers specially invited.

At home is a tower of strength abroad-says the
familiar proverb, and it is fully verified by the
history of Hoods Sarsaparila. The first words
of commendation and praise for this medicine
were received from our friends and neighbors, and
from the time it was fairly introduced up to the
present. there has been, and is now, more of
Hoods Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, Mass, where
it Is made, than OF all other sarsaparlas and blood
purifiers combined. This "good name' among
people who have known Hoods Sarsaparilla and
its propretors for years should certainly be strong
evidence to people in other cities and towns OF
the excellence and merit of their medicine.
"After the failure of three skillfu physicians 10

parilla and Olive Ointment. | have nowused four
