Prevalence Of the Maine Man.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal
Did Maine man ever wander into any part
OF the world, however remote, without being
able to find there another Maine man? On an
ocean steamer not long ago some one ventured
some such assertion in regard to an English
man. Mr.. Isaac c. Atkinson OF Portland was
on board and said he was impressed with the
idea regarding Maine, for he travelled consider
ably, and invariably met one or two. "Proba-
bly, this trip may be an exception" said MIR.
Atkinson,''but 1 am really expecting to come
across them as usual. Have l the honor of
addressing any?" you have, sir; was born
and raised in Somerset county. Harmony is
my native town." The speaker was Mr. Z. NJ.
Merrill, the European buyer for q great New
York dry goods house. who was completing his
ninety-sixth trip across the Atlantic. Bangor
lays claim to me-" said another passenger, who
proved to be Edward Kent, a New York attor-
ney, whose father was once governor of Maine.
fourth passenger, Mr.. Phillip Dyer, then in
troduced himself as a native of Calais, though
now resident of Antwerp, Belgium, where he
is the European agent for 7. A. Edison manu-
featuring patents. There were but twenty-two
saloon passengers on the boat and it was agreed
that Maine was well represented.
