They have been peddling in Maine during the

A party of their Bangor brethren were at the

Edmunds which was rolled from his store at
the time of the fire nearly cupful of powder
was found which had been blown in around
the door. A long piece of fuse WAS found
near the safe but it had not been igDited.
There was $1,000 in the safe at the time and
the omission to light the fuse was therefore
a very lucky one. Numerous rumors are
afloat as to the origin of the fire, but they
are very vague and indefinite.

The Fall OF the Baatile.

Paris has been enthusiastically celc-

past few days. There is good reason for
this celebration. That famous prison

monument of political tyranny in all

was capable OF holding between
seventy Ave aud eighty prisoners. This
number, though small compared with
the number of those condned in other
prisons, caused world wide attention from
their high rank and political prominence.
MANY Of the leading spirits of France
died in the gloomy dungeons OF this prison.
Noblemen, authors, savans. priests and pub
fishers persisted within its sombre walls,
the victims Of an absolute and relentless
tyranny, But at length the people goaded
to fury arose in their might and on the

The Foreign Cattle Trade

The big export cattle trade which has
sprung up during the last few weeks makes
harvest for the freight steamship lines.
They have raised their cattle rates to nearly
double those of last year, and have every
foot OF their space engaged till the first of
October and good many contracts made
for that month. The bulk of the business at
this port 10 done by the Anchor, the National
and the Wilson Lines The Anchor Line
will send eight shiploads a month until
Oct. /. averaging $50 head on each
steamer. The National Line have their
twelve freight boats engaged for cattle to
the end of the season and have contracc TO
carry about 1900 head. Some of Their boats
were carrying no cattle last year at this time
and the trade was generally light. The Will
son Line will send six to eight ships month
till the end of October, with 400 to 600 head
of cattle on each. The White Star steamer
Cuhc is under contract to Miles & Hauseman
of Baltimore for cattle during September
and October. Meyer Goldsmith is the
principal shipper in this city, although
Eastman 4 Son are also in the business
The other heavy cattle shippers are Nelson
Morris of Chicago, J. l.. Hathaway of Bos-
ton, Miles Hauseman and Lamar Brothers
of Baltimore and some Montreal and Phils
delphia firms. Mr. Goldsmith estimates
that there are from 2500 to 1000 head ship
ped weekly from New York, and 500 to 1000
less than that number from Boston The
rush is caused blythe glut here and the scare
ity in English markets As to the
profits of the business Mr.. Goldsmith was
inclined to think that the steamboat COM
panes get the lions share, making IS to $40
profit on every steer. Mondays selling price
here was a cents a pound. The Liverpool
price was equivalent to 6 cents, live weight.
and at So shillings head for freight, Mr.
Goldsmith thought that left profit At 20
or so shillings, at which price many of the
future contracts are made, there is little or
no profit. Prices have been falling in Liver
pool. and there are no contracts for future
delivery there. Each ship load takes its
chances in the market.

Farm Meetings in Summer.

In the public meetings so frequently held
in summer il is eminenty proper that sub
jects IN which farmers are directly interest
ed be discussed with view to broader
understanding. The time has gone by
when they were blind followers Of political
leaders. II is true, they have yet too much
attachment to political parties. but even in
this regard they are acquiring greater in
depende nee. which is the equivalents of man
ly self-relisnce. Their own meetings bring
to them a sense of power which they are
not slow to see may be employed in directing
public affairs There is constant growth
mos, gratifying in its development Of qualities
that ennoble their most useful industry, and
will relieve il more and more of disabilities
accumulated through tame submission on the
part Of farmers submission that
came of blind partisan following, subservi-
ency incompatible with true manhood"
By all means encourage meetings where
farmers may have recreation. and at the
same time incentive TO thought. They
cause no loss Of time. for every farmer Who
takes day, or two, from his busy labor, the
time employed in restoration Of jAded ener-
gies. will find that freshening which will en-
able him to make up fully what he may

makes Jack dull boy because Of "all work
and no play, is applicable in every stage of
farm life. Hence the wisdom of suitable
alienation that -ill relieve the tedium of
constant application. No more effective
agency for the purpose may be found than
the meetings planned and managed by
farmers. 10 them 10 wholesome rest easily
procured, and with it impetus to mental
activity that may run along accompanied
BY manual labor with no sense of fatigue
because thought is busy, as we'll as hands
Go to the meetings to get all the enjoyment
they can yield, and there will be no conse-
