The Bangor Wing rebukes the PRESS
again, this time for citing paragraph from
an Augusta letter to the Democratic Boston
Globe in support of an assertion. Yet when
only short time ago the Kennebec Journal,
Mr.. Burleigh's official home organ, made a
citation from exactly the same source in sup
port of one of its and the Wings assertions,
the Wing neglected to rebuke it. It makes a
wonderful difference in the Wing Office
whose OK is gored. When Brunswick elects
Burleigh delegation the Wing shouts that
it la rebuke to the PRESS. But when
Pennington elects Cleaves delegation the
Wing forgets to call attention to the singing
rebuke administered to the Pennington
Chronicle. By the way will the Wing be
kind enough to inform its readers how
closely related by the ties of blood the
Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Globe is to Mr.. Burleign.

The Oregon Victory.

The Republican victory in Oregon is very
welcome, not only as good beginning to
the work of the summer and fall, but be-
cause it has an important bearing on the
political status of the United States Senate
About nine months from the present time
the terms of twenty-six members of the
Senate will expire. Thirteen of them, count
ing Riddleberger, are Republicans and thir-
teen Democrats, their names and States
being as follows.

The cold and unpleasant wealth.
er for the past few weeks, has, no
doubt, caused many people to
feel that the old suit is as good as
the weather.
This is good logic for rainy
day, but when the warm days come
you will be surprised to know that
many of the hobby and most desir-
able things haveseither been sold
or the line of sizes badly broken.
Anticipating the wants Of the late
buyer we have been in the market
the past week and repIenished
our stock with the most complete

ers the full advantage of having
bought them cheap for cash.

Five senatorial elections have already
been held, filling the seats Of two of the
Republicans and three of the Democrats.
Riddleberger, who has been counted among
the Republicans, will be succeeded by Bar
Dour, who is an out-and-out Democrat.
Thls Is the only change wrought by the
elections already held. Oregon was one of
the debatable States until Mondays election
gave it Republican Legislature and placed
1t beyond doubt. Should there be no other
changes the next Senate will be tie, each
party having thirty eight members There
are, however, two States in which changes
may be possible. In New Jersey there is a
fair chance to elect Republican successor
to Senator Mcpherson; in West Virginia
more remote chance to put aside Senator
Kenna In favor Of Republican. The prob
able or possible changes, therefore, are in
favor of the Republicans. Should neither
Of these changes be made. the Senate will be
tie, and the Vice President will have the
casting vote

direction of the person spoken of, but

How to Make Them Comfortable While in

How to Make Them Comfortable While In
the Harness.
Dr. Harvey, in lecture delivered
before the Pennsylvania State Board
Of Agriculture made the following al
fusion to the above subject:
THE horse should be made comforta-
BILE at his work His harness should
fit without CALLING. His bride should
be long enough to bring the bit down
TO the angles of his lips-not so short
as TO draw them up an inch or two
above their n atural position. as is so
frequently the case. The blinds
should not touch his eyes, nor his eye
lids either. His head should not be
reined uncomfortably high. On a
long journey or in pulling a heavy
load, he should not be refined at all.
He is surer footed when his head is
free. and, if he should STUN BILE.
he RECEIVERS better if he can
throw his head down and
thereby relieve his forelegs of a
part of the weight of his body until
they get in place again. 1t is the
same principle as is applied when men
from each hand at the same time. If
horses neck is tired by tight rein
ing, he is tired horse. and he has
been tired without having accom-
plished any thing to show for it. We
have all felt what 1t is to be tired all
over bv the torture of tight shoes, and
the relief that comes to the whole body
with pair of slippers He should
always have a free head when travel
ing in the night. He needs then the
free use of his faculties. Do not I'M
derstand me as meaning that the check
rein should never be used ut ALL 1t has
several uses. A horse can be more
easily managed, if he is disposed to be a
little too lively. by checking his head
up. Horses naturally carry their he ad
up when excited. and refining them up
into that position excites them. A
dull horse may. for short time, be
made more lively by checking his head
up little while he is going. The eff
feet will not continue long. but for a
short drive about town, with light
weight behind him. there is not much
objection to it if the horse is fresh.
When a horse is checked up while go
ing he should be unchecked while
standing. that he may rest. The rein
should be easily shortened and
heightened. so that his neck may be
easily relieved without giving him en-
tire control of his head which standing.
for he might rub his bride or get his
foot over the lines If he could put his
head low down.

Would you like to know what the farmers do
In the State of Tulait? I'll tell you true:
They daily and dream in the spring-time sweet,
They plant their crops in the harvest heat.
They hoe their corn in the frosty fall,
And winter finds them with nothing ut all.
You'll hunger and thirst,
And want and wait,
And that isn't the worst
In the State of Tulait.
Oh, mol
And yet you'll go
To the desolate State of Tulait.
''Would you like to know what will happen to
you
In the State of Tulait: TIL tell you true:
You'll go to the show at the end of the fun:
To the concert hall when the music is done;
You'll come to the table too late for the pie;
And you'll see the parade when it's just gone
You'll never be wise
Nor rich nor great;
No fortune lies
In the State of Tulait.
Oh, why
Did you choose to try
The sorrowful State OF Tulaits

In the State of Tulait? Ah listen to me:
You will long in vain for your native land;
Your spec return will oft be planned;
You'll hurry and strive with might and MAN,
But you'll neu r be able to catch the train!
So you'll sob and cry,
And worry and watt
And you'll live and die

And she saw the CLEAN of the morning light:
Twas the first pale CLEAN, but she bravely rose,
And quickly and carefully donned her clothes :;
For OH she said, Il could never endure

No longer I'm bound

The first people one sees in Savannah as
the steamer nears her wharf, are the swarm
ing colored men, gathering to help the
steamer unload or give the operation tho
benefit of their sanctIoning presence. They
are the most motley crowd that anv one eyer
saw; their garb ranges from the most ap-
proved attire of the modern dude to almost
no attire at all, or an attire exclusively of
patches; if any one thinks that clothes made
Of nothing but patches are an impoSsihility
he should see some Of these people and I've
convinced to the contrary They stand and
SIT IN all attitudes of picturesque repose: and
When they seize the gangplank to run il on
board standing 80 close 10 each other on
each SIDE ot the plank that they are like nass
in pod, they gTunt and groan as if each one
We're lifting the plank all alone.
Ihls scene was the beginning If nv in
terest In the colored people of Savannah. and
never ceased to observe them while | was
in the city. They are the merriest. most
eontented, most philosophical people in the
world. They sing or whistle almost cease
essly. Listen at any moment. and Won will
hear grand combination Of whistles rising
on the air. In the evening the colored reo-
pie sit in the parks ur On the street corners
or wander up and down, singing, whistling
or playing their harnonicGs-a sort Of in
strument of which they are very fond They
improviSe rather than perform, each negro
appearing to prefer certain notes to which
he returns frequently and fondly as he pro
ceeds with his tune" which is for that mat
ter genuine melody, generally in minor
key. If there is a really and thoroughly
happy people in the world, should say
from my brief ohSer, alton of them, that the
colored inhabitants of Savannah are that
people. Cor. Boston Transcript
