Maine Hits and Happenings.

OF one of the early settlers of the town
of Hancock, the following story is related :;
Rising before day, he made a pair of mems
shoes then went into the woods and manu-
featured three lunches of shaved shingles,
carried them home on his shoulder and
nailed them on to the building the same day.
few evenings since, says the Ellsworth
American, as a number of sly chaps were
stealing apples and pums from the trees in
Dea. II. II. Clark's garden at Southwest
Harbor they were suddenly startled by
the voice of that gentleman just beneath
them, saying: Boys, if you want a step
ladder I'll send to the house, and have one
brought right out" Such unexpected kind
ness from the deacon, whom the rogues
thought safe in bed, quite overpowered
them, and they vacated the trees and garden
at once, leaving the deacon to mediate upon
the evil doings of people in general, and of
those boys in particular.
The champion liar of this county, says
the Dexter Gazette, made US a call the other
day and this is what he told us.
one spring long years ago, when the APP
pie trees were blooming, he CHANGED to walk
through an orchard, He broke from an ap-
pie tree branch with three prongs, covered
with blossoms. Continuing on his way to
his work, his path led across muck hole
into which he plunged the branch, prongs
downward. Year. afterwards, he again
passed that way and plucked from the tree
that grew from this branch, an apple. which
WAS very good, but contained no seeds, for
strange to relate the apple had grown icrong

The Folly Continues.

At its last State convention the Woman :
Christian Temperance Union of Rhode
Island passed resolution pledging its
support to the Third Party. This injudi-
cious proceeding was strongly opposed at
the time by many members of the or
ganization, and for substantially the same
reasons that similar action has been OPP
posed in other States by the most devoted
and judicious friends of Temperance
One Of the Unions in Rhode Island has
formally condemned the State Union for
Its unwise partisanship and voted to dis
band, and other subordinate bodies may
do likewise. The headstrong course Of
Miss Willard and few others equally
impolitic under the inspiration of politi-
cal partisans of the st. John type is di-
verting the W. c. T. L. from its great
moral work and Gripping its usefulness
throughout the country. Had IL remained
strictly on the moral ground where it
operated in its first years, there would
scarcely have been limits TO the beneficial
results which it could have achieved. But
In allowing individual ambitions to force
it into the arena of partisan politics and
to become an adjunct of contracted and
vituperous political faction, II has largely
curtailed its power and opportunities of
doing good, and repealed from its asso-
citation thousands Of the best women Of
the land Third Partyism is fatal to all
it touches, and its suicidal course pleases
and aids the Saloonists.

Tho Bearing OF the Republican Candidate.

Gen. Harrison continues to receive nu-
merous large delegations from the differ
eat States of the West aud he bears him
self nobly and speaks the words of wis
dom. Remaining at his Indianapolis
home he yet plays an important part in
this campaign. Never before was IA presi-
dental candidate of any party visited, day
after day, by so many men representing
SO many trades and avocations as has Gen
eral Harrison since the day of his nominal
ton, and scarcely ever in the history of
any campaign has any candidate been able
to touch upon SO many live topics of the
day without putting his foot in it," His
speeches have been characterized from the
first by the greatest good sense, the high
est order of ability in public speaking, and
Of winning politeness in public speaking.
This has been no surprise to General IIar-
risop's friends, for they knew the man,
and knew that he had never been found
unequal to any occasion. This was true
OF him in the school-room and on the
stump. In his law Office aud in the court
room, on the battlefield and in the Senate.
Accounting for this happy condition of
things the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
says: General Harrison is strong and
ready because he has been Woodworking
man all his life, and his faculties have
been diciplned and made alert and execu-
tive. lie has earned all he has, and his
habits of application abide with him. He
Is not elated or oppressed by his position,
but he takes it eoolly, and is in full pos
session OF himself. The living rock is I'M
der his feet and overhead the sky is clear.
He has absolute sincerity and unqualified
courage--and he has had such breadth
of experience "a few men have protited
by, while each day of his life has been in
some way good to him. He has lost no
time In idleness and wasted no power in
dissipation"

Ten Reason. why I Am . a.public.n
J. ELLEN FosTER-

am Republican by hereditary influence,
past environments and present convictions.
Because -
LIST. The Republican party in the past
has stood for all that is liberal and progress
sive in legislation.
I'd. The Republican party freed the
slave.
Sd. The pronounced and emphatic legis-
lation ON moral questions has come largely
from Republican legislators.
4th. The Republican party has always
been the champion of protection
to the citizen. protection to the negro, pro-
lection to the ballot box, protection to the
wage Garner, protection to the wage payer,
and now, right in line with its past profess
sions and performances it declares protec-
ton for the home.
5th. The friends of the liquor interest in
the ranks Of the Republican party are few
and far between.
9Th. The Republican party has stood for
the most advanced temperance Legislation
| which the people demanded and in very many
States has made open declarations of enmity
against the saloon.
18th. The Republican party deals with
conditions of the temperance work, not the
| cries The ideal is not always instantly at
tainable; it is better that the majority OF
the great, struggling, groaning mass should
gain one inch in altitude than that few
should by separating themselves into an
"holier-than-thou" party attain supernal
heights.
sth- The Republican party by reason OF
its powerful position in this country is able
to consistently promise the redemption Of its
pledges, while the so-called Prohibition par
ty even if the sincerity of its pledges be ad
mitted, cannot for many years at least, fulfil
any one OF them.
9th. The best types of American man
hood are represented in the persons of Ben
jamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton.
10th. The record of the Republican party
proves it to be made up of men out of whose
brain and heart reforms have come in tbs
past and are likely to come in the future.

The New York Mail and Express SAYS
Mr.. Blaine's history Of the Tariff in this
country was masterpiece of condensation,
bringing out in the clearest relief all the
great features of the successive struggles
between the American system aud its enc
mics, and showing how progress and pros
perity have invariably been the results of
Protection, and how financial troubles and
lower wages have been the inevitable out
comes of every step taken toward Free
Trade.
No one else could have put so much in
SO few words, or could have made so con-
densed a history and argument so clear,
plain and cogent. His speech ought to be
circulated by the tens of millions. in all
sorts of forms and in every language that
is spoken by any considerable number Of
voters. 1t is incontrovertible history and
convincing logic.

A STORY OF GENERAL SHERMAN
How He Gained Admission to the
Senate to Hear Webster Speak
rYouth's Companion.

In 1850 General Sherman, then Lieutenant
Sherman, was in Washington for short
time, and learning that Webster was to
make speech in the Senate, was extremely
anxious to hear him. On Fastening TO the
Capitol, however, he found the galleries
crowded, and seemed likely to lose the only
opportunity he would ever have of listening
to the famous orator. Finally he sent in his
card to Senator Corwin, whom he had met
on several occasions, and said to him when
he appeared:
"Mr. Corwin, am very anxious to hear
Mr.. Webster speak to-day"
"Well, why don't you go into the gallery"
told him the galleries were already full
and running over, and explained that l want
ed him to take me on the floor of the senate !;
that had often seen persons there no better
entitled to the privilege than 1.
Are you foreign ambassador" he asked.
aNo"
Are you the Governor of a state:"
NO"
"Are you a member of the other house?"
Certainly not"
Have YOU ever had vote of thanks by
name?"
"Well these are the only privileged per-
sons"
then told him he knew well enough who
was and that if he chose he could take me
in.
Have you any impudence?" he demand
ed. do you think you could become SO
interested in my conversation as not to no.
tice the door keeper"
| told him there wasn't the least doubt of
it if he would tell me one of his funny stories.
Upon that he took my arm and led me turn
in the vestibule, talking about some indiffer
ent matter, but all the time directing my
looks to his left hand, toward which he was
gesticulating with his right.
| In this manner we approached the door
keeper, who began asking me. Foreign
ambassador Governor of State? Member
of Congress?"
But caught Corwins eye, which sale
plainly, Don't mind him; pay attention te
me" and in this way we entered the Senate
Chamber by side door.
| Once in, Corwin said Now you can take
care of yourself" and / thanked him cor
daily. l found a seat close behind Mr.
Webster and near General Scott, and heart
the whole of the speech.

More OF Candidate Brooks Treason.

[Shelbyville (Ind.) dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette.
Elder John S. Brooks, candidate for the
Vice-Presidency on the Prohibition ticket,
is author of another disloyal sentence, ut
tered to a gentleman now and for many
years a resident of Decatur County, but
who was then member of Elder Brooks
congregation in Flemingsburg, Ky.
In the beginning of the war this gentle
man was anxious to enlist in the service of
his country, as he afterward did, and quite
naturally consulted his pastor, with whom
he was personally intimate, in regard to the
step. He had no sooner expressed his views
than Brooks turned to him and said;
"You might as well 90 to hi at once, and
be done with it,
The name of the gentleman is withheld,
but if Elder Brooks sees fit to deny the
utterance he will be confronted promptly
with an affidavit.
1t is such a fellow AS this that st. John,
Miss willard, and the other Third Party
managers, who have gotten control of
the W. c. +. L. are supporting for the
Vice Presidency and asking Temperance
people to vote for. 1t is not strange that
the great majority of Temperance voters
will not be thus diverted from the plain
line of duty when such candidates as
Harrison and Morton are in the field.

President Cleveland has not yet openly
expressed himself heartily in favor OF
Gov. Hill, and probably will not do so,
but his henchman, Col. Lamont, has been
to New York, and the correspondent of
the Boston Herald says:
.He came as a friend of the President,
and assured the Hill managers that the Presi-
dent earnestly desired the victory of the
State ticket, and was panied that any one
could suppose or charge that his Democracy
is not sterling and thorough. In 1885 the
President sent check to the State Commit
tee to help elect Hill, and with the check
was personal letter containing the warmest
good wishes"
