west Seventh street. They assumed
proprletorship about two years ago, and
their trade has grown so rapidly through
their policy of reasonable prices and
comfortable stock of boots and shoes,
that they have had to increase the size
OF their store room. The advantage of
low rental and of their ability to buy at
bottom figures, enables them to give a
decided benefit to their customers.
They are very favorably known by the
residents of the Seven corners, and by
all their patrons who come from every

Even in the Summer Gladness She
Was Sorry.

The sun was shining brightly.
The birds were singing Sweetly.
The squirrels were chipping galley,
Eating acorns on Il tree.
Yet in the summer gladneSs,
When every heart was joyous.
There was one whose heart was heavy,
Onthis bright and cheerful day.
The one who had this heavy heart,
Was in her room to-day.
She was thinking OF him
Who was far far away.
In her room she had been waiting
Till days and days had gone,
But no sign from him she loved
Would come TO her sad heart.
And in her room she is still waiting
For him to come and say
BE mine and you will happy by,
If you will but be true to me-
But alas, no such happiness is for her,
Who is pining and pining away
For him she loves, to come,
And in his arms bear her away.
But to bear her away he will never come,
For TO his grave she will have to go
TO see his body as it lays
Still i'll death in the church yard tomb.

When the nest Of the thrush or

great calamity TO a neighborhood, for
some distressing disturbance is under

these nests are built near their haunts
in the grasses, that they may more
readily enjoy the music of the thrush's

How an Oregon Horse Prayed.

Yesterday morning, as a train load
Of circus was coming into town over
the west side road, a short distance
south OF town a car containing some
Of the elephants was derailed. No
damage was done, but two of the ele-
plants were obliged TO walk into the
city. They were very indignant,
either at being thrown off the track or
at having to walk, and as they passed
through South Portland they were
waving their trunks wildly, while
their drivers were what an old bull
whacker called seeking the CAD to
them, and as lie swore, driving six
inches through their hide at every
blow. A horse hitched by the side of
the street through which the ele.
plants passed was so scared that he
sat down on his Launches and folded
his fore feet across his breast in an at
titude Of prayer, and sat and trembled
till the horrid monsters were out Of
sight. Portland Oregonian.

4 Poslaye stamp speenIatlnn.

A story is told by a commercial
traveller who, at the time Of the intro
duction Of the penny post. was doing
business in the Channel Islands. An
English shilling brought thirteen Jer.
sey pennies in exchange, so, when the
penny stamps came into the island
they were sold for a Jersey penny.
Thirteen were sold for All English shil-
ling, and our friend was not long in
finding this out So he bought up all
the local stock of stamps-sOme f400
worth-and sold them when he crossed
the water, realizing about 8 per cent.
On his bargain. Other commercials
followed suit, and the officials at the

quired for insignificant little jersey.

HARRISON AND BLAINE,
A Democratic Journal Tells the Trutl
About Their Rotations.

Democratic Journal Tells the Truth
About Their Rotations.
The unvarnished facts show that
Mr.. Blaine and the President are on
the most cordial terms; that General
Harrison is eminently gratifed by Mr..
Blaine's conduct OF the department
over which he presides; that Mr..
Blaine is dissatisfied neither with his
own official acts nor with those of his
cheif; that he intends to adopt no
other course than the performance of
his duties until the close of his term.
While perhaps his health is not 80 ro-
bust as that of trained athlete, he re-
tains an amount o. vigor and physical
energy commensurate with his years.
His intellectual powers are unim-
paired. He is in good spirits and con.
tented as a gentleman of philosophic
traits ought to be. Within a few
weeks he will have the pleasure of en-
tertaining the President in his cottage
at Bar Harbor Every thing. indeed.
points to the conclusion that Mr..
Blaine will be enabled. barring the
ills to which all humanity is heir, to
pass through the summer with reason
able comfort to himself and pleasure
and profit to his refined and charming
household.
That those who differ from Mr..
Blaine politically deem it necessary to
pursue him with all sorts of ridicu-
lous rumors and reflections is not to
their credit There is nothing equit-
able, manly or wholesome in the tao
tics employed by his more aggressive
adver5aries. Their performance tend
to degrade public controversy to low
plane, to excite irritation where no
provocation exists for the display of
a churlish disposition, and to sup
ply encouragement to scandal mon
gers of all sorts and sizes in every re-
lation of the human family. To call
a halt on immoderate and inaccurate
assaults, to WELD the instrument OF
criticism with impartial hand, and to
prefer fact to fiction in the exploita.
tion of the subject would be much
more commendable than to harp con-
tinually on the threadoare string Of
personal abuse and indlscriminate
misrepresentation. Presumably Mr.
Blaine has become so familiar with
this form of attack that he is not in
the least disturbed. But Indifference
on his part does not justify persist
ence in the contemplate practice of
following him up at every stage with
insult and systematic false
hood. Brooklyn Eagle Oem.).

QUEER DEMOCRATIC LoGIe.
Why the Bourbons VIII Not Carry Ohio
MASAachuSAftS.

Why the Bourbons VIII Not Garry Ohio
or Massachusetts.
The Democrats carried Massachu-
sets for Governor in 1874 and 1892,
and they elected their candidate for
the same Office in Ohio in 1877 and
1888. Therefore, by one OF those
brilliant logical deductions upon
which Democratic statesmen hold a
patent, that party must win in the
elections in those States this year.
There may be some other reason upon
which this hope of Democratic sue
cess is based, but if there be the party
press has carefully concealed it Or
dinarily such concentrations as this
do not pass current as argument out
side of the various asylums for idiots
which are scattered over the country,
and in the average range of trans
actions and by the average person
they are seldom employed. but the
mental processes of the Democratic
branch of the human family can not
be judged by the standard to which
those of the remainder of the race is
submitted.
At The time when the Democrats
gained their victories in Massachusetts
and Ohio the conditions which pre-
vailed in those States were widely
different from those which now obtain.
The years 1874 and 1882 were tidal
wave years. when the Republicans
lost ground in most of the States.
Republican reverses in the year
named were due principally to fac
tional strife and decentralization in the
party. These were the reasons for
the defeat in Massachusetts. The
Ohio Republicans were beaten in 1877

loans through a Colorado broker named
Henry. Interest and principal failed to

investigate. The sole occupant of Henry's
office was young man who sat tilted
back in chair with his feet on the win

extremely unsatisfactory, and presently
Mr.. Dennis became angry, and said with
