To the Editor of Press:

Portland Pier to Havana, Cuba, with load
of lumer hauled from ''Saccarap to Portland

hard and tough was it that we could not cut

we would gather around the mess board and
sing the old song;
Old horse what brought you here?

Such was the beef in those days on Capt.

For the beef was so poor that grease would

AMERICAN HOMES.
An Interesting and Elegant Work by
Portland Architects.

Awork that will be examined with greatin
terest in Portland is the Examples of Ameri-
can Domestic Architecture" written and IL
Illustrated by John Calvin Stevens aud Albert
WinsloW Cobb. The work is not only an ell
egant example of the engraver and book
makers art; it is besides an exposition of
some ideas on art in general and the depart
ment Of architecture in particular that are
not in the beaten path of generally accepted
ideas; aud most attractlvely arranged al
bum Of home views and house plans, includ-
ing large number Of well known Portland
houses and cottages. Mr. Cobb, who has
argument for radical reform in American
architecture, especially as concerns its aims.
Mr.. Cobb advances the theory that there is
10 this, as In every other country, a fund of
resource for the construction of buildings.
This fund, as his argument implies, is to be
considered, as some of the political econo-
mists have been wont to consider the wages
fund, an inelastic resource which must be di-
vided among multitude, of whom each is
anxious Tor rather more than his own share.
From this basis the conclusion is natural and
inevitable that the more of this buildi ng
fund Is absorbed by costly and magnificent
structures the less of it there will be left for
the homes of the masses. Mr. Cobb ex-
presses 1t thus: "Just to the degree that we
manage to reproduce Ia cur country the mag
nihcence exhibited by European cities, just
TO that same degree also may we lessen the
proportion Of pretty, comfortable homes of
l,vr n 4hot
abominable type of domicile of the common
wordman--so Astounding in Europe" Ar
chitecture, then, in Its highest functions,
must be concerned, not with palaces aud
temples. bpt with the homes of the people.
In this connection, it is argued with force
and truth that humanity is more benefited
by being well housed than by the spectacle
of lofty domes and magnificent facades,
from the contemplation of which the citizen
must return to au uncomfortable and I'M
heslthful home.
Without pausing to study the present ten.
denotes of American architecture critically
enough to determine whether there is such
an undue and extravagant attention to mag
nifcence and ornamentation. as to call for
the reforms suggested, we will turn to the
collection of delightful engravings of the
samples of domestic architecture presented
by Messrs. Stevens and Cobb. There are
forty-two. plates of these carefully selected
Illustrations, and among them are many
Portland homes. The house of J. 9. Ste

U. S. CIRCUIT COURT.



TUEsDAy.-United States, by information, VS..
the schooner Edna May and cargo Tuesday, the
arguments for ine government and the respond
enls were delivers In the forenoon after which
Judge Webb rendered his decision sustaining the
libel so far as It related to the schooner Edna
May. her tackle, apparel etc, and the six un-
marked bales of wool, OF which four were shown
to have come from ST. John. As regards the 9TH
er wool, the II bales and the bundles, he said
that the evidence Of the government which was
consistent throughout, was not sufficient to war;
rant ita libel; yet II all tended to show that this
wool, as well as the six bales, was tanned with
suspicion of fraud. There was no doubt, he said
that the schooner dallied along down Pembroke
river all day, and after hlghtfall, under pretense
of visiting lubec really slipped over to the close
cove at Camp0bello and there took on board sun
dry parcels OF wool, which she was trying 10
smugge into American territory, when seized by
the officers, And but for the fact that the gov.
came from Canada, that also would have been
libelled to the government.

OLD PORTLAND.
The Children Used to Sing the Sac
carap and Portland Pier" Dirty.

To the Editor Qfthe Press:
While visiting friends in this, my native
city, have read the Daily PRESS, and was
much interested in the articles about "Sac-
carap and Portland Pier" the more so, be-
cause in my childhood my father, Col. Thos
Baker, kept public house at the corner of
Silver and Fore streets, directly opposite
Portland Pier: and teams with lumber from
Saccarappa were continuity passing down
Silver street on their way to the Pier. Two
used to have many frolic with the team
sters. When we saw them coming down
street, getting behind the shed door we used
to sing:
From Saccarap to Portland Pier,
I've hauled boards for many year.
But now Pm old, they me abuse,
And cut me up for sailors use,
Who eat my meat aud pick my bones
Then throw me over to Davy Jones.
Once in awhile teamster would make
lively times for us, chasing us with his OK
goad. Away back in the thirties, Jacob
knights office was at the lower end of the
Pier on the left hand side. On the right
were often many hogsheads of moasses
which used to work out of the bungs on
warm days. The children who used to live
near there used to watch their opportunity
while Mr.. Knight was away for dinner and
with spoons fill tin pals with molasses, car
rying it home and straining it to make can
dy.
l doubt not many men and women of to-
day remember the enjoyment of eating mo-
lasses from the bungholes on Portland Pier,
unheeding the consequence which were sure
to follow the indulgence in eating too much
of such forbidden fruit.
