From where do all the flies come?
The question is often asked, and sell
dom receives as satisfactory an an
swer as has recently been given by q
contemporary. The common fly lays
more than 100 eggs, and the time from
egg-laying to maturity is only about
two weeks. Most of us have studied
geometrical progression. Here we see
It illustrated. Suppose one fly COM

the earth about June /. June 10, if
all lived, would give $50.

Gus way.
A dozen years ago, when Eastern
tenderfoot capitalists were as thick as
blackberries in the west, and, and
every single man Of them was ready
TO buy a silver mine before breakfast,
four OF us who had jumped an old
claim in Nevada put up job to catch
a sucker. We went down about u
feet with q shaft, struck indica-
tions," and then raked and scraped
for specimens TO salt with. We
sold our revolyers and everything else
we could spare, and when We had the
bait ready not one OF us could have
put up money TO pay weeks board
in advance. We placed our figures at
10000, and as | was the smoothest

"Yes, sir. own fourth interest

lieve he knew the first thing about ore,
but he descended the shaft, looked
around bit, and when we had hauled
him up he said:
Doesn't seem to be overly rich,
but I'll chance it. I'll give you Sl6,-
600 for your right, title and interest.
We closed on that, transferred our
rights, and almost broke our necks to
get out OF the country before any eli
max came. The old chap was the
butt OF ridicule for several weeks, but
people then began to laugh the other
way.
He got men and machinery to work,
sunk three or four shafts and inside Of
year he took over 100000 worth ol
ore out of that claim. Inside Of three
years he took out half million, and
then sold to a syndicate for double
that sum. l met him after he had
drawn 5000 in Denver, and he
held out his hand and said:

A SUMMER GIRL.
She wears a jsunty hat.
And her feet goes pit.a-pat
As she walks;
And the sweetest music slips
From her merry maidening lips
When a. -lks.
She fasoinates the street
With CATERS trim and neal,
Made Of kid.
For they twinkle ss they pass.
Like the rillets in the grass,
Halfway hid.
Her skin is soft and white.
Like magnolia buds at night,
On the boughs;
But for fear she'd be too fair,
There's o freckle here and there
On her brow.
Dimples play al hide and seek
On her apple blossom-ohsek
And her chin.

only ten per cent of men in mercantile pur-
suits are successful, ninety per cent of the
farmers Of the State are success
tui' lie does not mean that ninety
per cent of the farmers are getting
rich, Of course but that ninety per cent OF
them are continuing to get living and sup
port home by that industry, while in mer-
camille pursuits only ten per cent succeed
10 doing this. And we think Mr.. Robbie
might have added that when these farmers
come to die they leave more to their families
out of their business than any other class of
business men. Very large fortunes are of
course rare among farmers, but nearly every
one leaves something And if farmers
would make use of life insurance and of the
various benefit orders to the extent that bust
ness and professional men do, they might be
able to contemplate the future of their fam-
lies with greater satisfaction. One more
timely suggestion in the address is that the
burden of unequal taxation should be equal
lied. Governor Burleigh has recently APP.
pointed commission to accomplish this very
object, and, as the farmers are more interest
ed In this subject than any other class of
property owners, the grange might very
profitably make suggestions of value to the

Ii ever men deserve hanging Burke.
OSullivan and Coughlin, the convicted MUIR
derers of DIR. Cronin, do. Their crime was
of the most deliberate description. Their
purpose was formed. not in moment, but
alter weeks of elaboration, and it was eff
fected, not by means of one single act, but
by series of acts. There was not single
eAtenuating circumstance connected with
the crime. The Anarchists could plead in
eXtenuatioD of their crimes fanced wrongs
and the dwelling upon a theory until they
were half crazed by it. The murderers of
DIR. Cronin had no personal grievance against
him. They were ordered to act as his exc
cutiOners. aud they did SO In the coolest of
blood. That, therefore, the Anarchists
should he sent to the gallows and these men
permitted to live betrays glaring inconsis-
tency in Illinsis justice. Whether the alle-
Cation that ore juror who was opposed to
hanging these men tired out the other eleven
and made them submit to his opinion Is true
or not cannot be definitely stated, but there
is au air of strong probability about it.
However, there Is reason for cOngratulatiOn

everything that money and skill and threats

That, under these circumstances, in a city

and conscience to do its duty even fairly
well is remarkable.

The Bath Times follows the example of
the Bangor Wing and announces that it has
retired from the discussion of ballot reform.
Its case Is little different from that of the
Wing, however The Wing relspsed into
silence with vehement proclamation that it
was yet unconverted; but the Times retires
with the statement that 1t is partly converted.

State. The inexpensive shelf cannot con-
stitute serious objection to journal that
Is already in favor of ratings TO keep the
crowd away from the ballot box; so 1t is
evident that the sole point on which the
Times is unconverted Is In relation to the
printing Of ballots by the State. And we
think the Times will come around on this
point also after little reflection in the re-
tirement to which 1t has formally withdrawn.
For it Is plain that the expense of printing

advantage beside his richer neighbor who is

We have no doubt that our neighbours sense
OF fair play will. after a little quiet reflection
commend this feature of the Massachusetts
system also. As to the possible objection to
having all the names on one ballot, it may
De said that it is more convenient and
cheaper to have them printed thus, while the
example of Massachusetts, shows that the
voters are not at all troubled by the arrange
ment. OF course the Times does not be-
lieve that the voters of Maine are less intelli-
gent than the voters Of Massachusetts. The
above considerations we have not introduced
with the intention of Turing our contem-
porary back to the discussion from which it
has announced his final retirement. We ad-
varce them merely that it may take them
into its retirement, where they will un-
doubleday be the subject of calm and philo-
sophie reflection.
The retirement of the Times leaves the
Brldgton News the only combatant now in
the field. But as the News and Times are
twins we do not look for long resistance.

Not the least interesting fact In the address

membership Of the order in this State has

SNOW that he had worn his honors with good
sense. But Mr. ROBBIE has been more than
Inquire head for the Maine Oranges. He has
devoted to their service a large portion OF his
time during the last eight years; and has
worked Tor the advancement Of the order
with a zeal born of a real interest in its well
fare. The addition of ten thousand new
members during his term of office and the
general harmony and prosperity Of the order
in the State are the highest tributes to his
services. To the reader who is not Granger
