CASCO BAY.
What Can Be Seen in a Trip Among its
Islands.
Some Beautiful Summer Resorts Near
the Forest City.

Special TO the Kennebec Journal.
PORTLAND, July 10.
Never does Casco Bay appear more pictur-
esquely beautiful than at the present time.
The islands are covered with coat Of deep
est green, and the pretty little cottages that
pee p from among their numerous shade
trees, are just commencing TO glow some
what with the warmth and cheer of summer
who visits the Forest City to while away his
surplus time, if he be so fortunate as to have
any, as to take turn ''among the islands"
The fare for the round trip being only twenty
joyment may be derived from it. Such was
the opinion of Journal scribe as he stood
on the deck of the staunch little steamer
Emita, and looked away from the rapidly re-
ceeding Portland wharves down the bay
dotted with the white sails of a hundred
vessels and number Of picturesque islands
which have come into prominence
during the past few years as summer re-
sorts. 1t is amusing to note the crowds that
come down TO the landings at these islands
to greet the steamers. There is an abun-
dance of flowing cambric-summer costumes
are most always described by this adjective
white flannel suits, or flannel stripes, with
caps TO match and generally tennis racket
or two, a few pairs of low brown shoes
a g., hacHal II .uaplI
transcend the limits which | have mentally
assigned to this article, were | to ate npt to
describe, with any pretence at detail, the na
merous and beautiful islands of Casco Bay
Suffice it to say they will hold their own for
beauty with any along the Maine coast.
Fort Preble, with its frowning guns, is
very ornamental feature of the bay,
but can scarcely be viewed in this
day and generation, in the light of harbor
protection.
Little Diamond and Great Diamond is
road, passabIe at low water, are two of the
most beautiful islands in the bay. On the
larger of these the scribe noticed the new
cottage of the Portland Club, situated
upon an elevation looking down the bay. 1t
is very pretty place.
Perhaps the great centre of attraction upon
such trip is Peaks Island, and a lovely
place it is, too. Leaving the steamer at the
lower landing, a brisk walk up the island
road revealed the many beauties of this
charming resort. A cool breeze was stirring
and clear skies added to the pleasure Of the
tramp. People evidently come here for
genuine rest and comfort. and are apparently
quite successful in obtaining it, The Peaks
Island House, with its shady veranda, offered
an excellent resting place. The proprietor,
Mr.. Sawyer, and his clerk, Mr.. S. b. Adams,
are both genial gentlemen and know how to
look out for the comfort and pleasure of their
guests A little later when the Forest City
came steaming up to the wharf the scribe
stepped aboard and left, not without reluc-
lance, these beautiful resorts to return again
to the routine of every day life.

display and large delegation of genuine far
west Indians, in charge of DR. Carver, the
famous scout and champion marksman of the
world. Conspicuous will be the survivors of
Clusters command, who will appear in parade
and afterwards take part in the realistic rep
resentation of Clusters Last Rally. or the
drama on the Little Big Horn. There viii
also be seen the veritable cowboys, lassoists,
celebrated scouts, Mexican vaqueros, in ad-
dition to many other wild western celebrities.
The old
DEADwooD STAGE Coach,
Which in times past carried the mail be-
tween the Black Hills and Denver, and
which has been repeatedly the object of at
tack and pillage, by savages and road
agents" on distant frontier, will b. put into
the parade; former knight of the whipof

The hippodrome racing chariots, with
their mettlesome steeds are driven in the
parade, and realistic representations are pre-
sented of Cleopatra, in her barge of beaten

honor and attended with all the lavish lux
ury and display of her time. Lalla Rookh,
departing from Delhi, with all the accesso-
RES of an Eastern monarch's court is de.
pieted in this peerless and poetic pageant,
which is only prelude to what will assured
ly be the most interesting, novel and
instructive entertainment ever given under
white tents in this city.
The hippodrome pavilion will seat 20 900
people the race track will be a quarter of a
mile in circumference; there will be plenty
of room for all the best of order is always
maintained. Everywhere the great show is
receiving columns of commendatory notices,

every daily paper IN that city pronounced it
the most novel, largest best-managed tent
show ever brought there.

One of our local dealers recently ex-
pressed his disgust at the action of the
authorities in licensing so many hawkers of
bananas and other kinds of fruit lie says
that people instead of patronizing those who
keep permanent stock for the convenience
the public, will buy of the peddler even
at the same price. If the regular dealers
could be insured against competition with
ese itinerant vendors they could keep on
hand much larger supply and sell at lower

INSANE HOSPITAL
Bulletin from the Board of Trustees
Concerning Diphtheria

AUGUSTA, July 49,
TO the Editor of the henHebee iourHaL
The trustees still in session at hospital are
pleased to state that no new cases of diphtheria
have appeared. The complete isolation of
those affected, and the very thorough means
of disinfection in operation, together with the
fact above mentioned of the non-appearance
of any new cases, make them hopeful that
they have the dreaded disease under control.
DR.. Young has been in consultation with the
board during a portion of the day, and ex
pressed himself perfectly satisfied that the
proper course is being pursued to prevent its
further spread.
No deaths have yet oceurreL from this
disease.

The trip taken to Fort Popham
by about fifty members of the Universalist
Parish and Sunday school on Wednesday of
this week, proved very enjoyable occasion.
The fog which hung about the coast in the
morning, lifted soon after their arrival, and
the raw wind which was not much enjoyed
on the down trip of the Percy v, gave way
to warmer wave, and the return boat ride
was all that could have been asked for.
The weather was fine at the beach all day,
and the party scattered to the different parts
of the resort after a picnic dinner. A few
took dinner at the Ocean View. AT about
3 o'clock in the afternoon, Sergeant Jones
calamity escorted the pleasure seekers
through the Fort, privilege n>ver granted
to the public until the present month. To
those accustomed to the ordinary amount of
official red tape, the courtesy of the Ser
geant was an agreeable surprise.

young man of smooth address and bust
ness-like manner came very near taking
round sum from the pockets of some whole
saiefs in Boston recently. He introduced
himself to one dealer as the son of prom
inent Augusta merchant, and represented
that he was buying goods for his father.
After buying goods to the value of about
$500 and giving directions az TO their being
sent to Augusta he asked to be introduced
to several other wholesale dealers, and gave
orders to each, amounting in all to about
$500 He then went back to the store whore
he had first made himself known, and was
there treated to a smoke 4 the proprietor
turned away to speak to a clerk he saw his
visitors lyly put his hand into the box just

mediately telegraphed to this city for infor-
nation regarding the gentleman from Au
gusta. On learning that the man was an
impostor detective was Immediately put on
bis trail but he had evidently got wind that
his crookedness was discovered, as he has
that he intended to present the bill of lading
at the wharf before the goods were put on
board the steamer, and reship them to some
other place. His perfect familiarity with
persons and places in this city made it proba-
Bile that he was a stranded drummer.

The caricatures of himself that il
lustrate Bill Nye's funny stories are
excellent representation, barring the
few exaggerated qualities. The bald
head, smooth shayen face, and gen.
orally cadaverous expression behind
a pair of spectacles, are all there in
the original article. Bill Nye is a
bright-looking man. He is not less
than forty years old, tall, and thin.
His complexion is sandy, and his hair
very thin. His dark eyes are bright,
and the prominent lower jaw, so
smooth and regular in outline, has
the habit of moving itself at inter.
walls and assuming comical position
that is about the only humorous
thing in Nye's address. His good
nature is never failing, There is
nothing of the dude about Bill Nye.
He is too thin to have his clothes fit
him very well, and too fond of as
suming the easiest attitude he can
find in lounging about to maintain
good fit if he ever had one.-Pueblo

Why are women SO liable to be
late at the train? From unbusiness.
like habits, lack of convenient pock-
cts to pnt handkerchief, portmonnaie,
glove buttoner and miscellaneous
fallalerie into. Then they linger at
the door for a dozen all important
"postscripts," as they do at the tail
of letter. More than all, they are
always sure they can get there in
five minutes, when, unles they were
shot through pneumatic tunnel,
they could in no way get there in
less than fifteen. When they are
late and see the train slowly begin
to melt away, why don't they stop
at once? Because like the valiant
Irishman, they don't know when they
are beaten.
Conundrums aside, running with
fifteen pounds of dress skirt and as
much OF other "toggery," a construct
ing corset aud paper soled agonizing
boots, verges on the crime of self
destruction. Does your business re
quire that you should ignore the laws
of health, perhaps of life? If it does,
90 it! You won't catch the train.
and you will cut an astounding hg-
urea racing human female always
does-but your sacrifice will be all
heroic. 1t will mean something. Or
is all your business going into the
next town to see what is going to be
worn this summer, and perchance to
invest in dozen buttons for a new
eight cent calico wrapper? If so,
down breaks. Walk calmly and dig
niiiedly home. Pin up the front of
your wrapper with safety pins sooner
than risk bodily injury.
II have in my lite run for a train,
but will never do 1t again." is the
testimony of many women who have
lived long enough to gather wisdom
or acquire i'll health. Running un-
der proper conditions is not injurious,
but in state of ANXIOUS excitement
it is accompanied by distressing con-
sequences. These may not at once
make themselves manifest, though it
is no unusual thing to hear of fatal
results from such rash performance.
To be sure, the organs are not fang
loosely into the body as some ner-
vous hypoehondriacs seem to imag-
inc; all is well arranged and calcu
lated for work and to withstand or
diary strain if the head be allowed
to rule. But, however nicely steam
engine be constructed, or however
powerful built, it has Its limit of
pressure, and the driver, unless he
were out of his mind, would not run
without a gauge. 1t is not always
making haste to hurry. The people
never have anything done are always
IN hurry. If the work of creation
were all done we should have moth
ing to do but to drop quietly into the
sun. Avoid undue haste and live
longer.-Herald of Health.
