3. and &. Club.

This well known club, by invitation of one
of its members, B. l.. Trickey, Esq. held its
3lst anniversary meeting and dinner at his
residence yesterday. This is last man
club. composed originally Of nine Portland
boys, six Of whom still live, of whom but
four attended this meeting, the other two be-
ing sick at home. After an elegant dinner
had been served, the memories Of years ago
were awakened, and 'the boys that are
gone" were touchingly spoken of and when
the members, one after another, called to
mind the men of Portland who were in the
prime of life when this club was formed. but
had now passed away. feeling of SO mess
crept over all while they told Of their cour-
age, victories aud peculiarities, and OF the
stories told Of the eccentric characters Of
that period, there seemed to be no end. At
the organization Of this club, on the nth Of
January, 1859, the average age Cf its menu
bers was 16 years. Thirty-one years brings
them up to middle life, and the silvered
hairs in part replacing the brown and black
of other days, which warns them that they
are well on towards the point on the path
way of life which marks the downward track
and that ere many years, at the best, the last
man must dine alone, and sadly and fearful
ly press the cup to his lips and drink the
toast, "To the eight who are gone"
The evening was passed In singing the old
time songs, and Roll ON Silver Moon" rolled
on as sweetly as ever.
AT the business meeting the old board Of
officers was reelected, and at late hour the
''boys" bade eacn other good night with
'Auld Lang Syne."

the NEW SOUTH.
Cabinet Officers Speak of Its Growth
and Prospects.

BALTIMORE, January lin this weeks
issue of the Manufacturers Record special
letters are published from Vice. President
Morton, several members of the cabinet and
several United States Senators, In response
to an invitation from the editor Of the Man
ufacturers' Record. to express their views
upon the South's progress, as shown by the
elaborate review of what the South has ac-
complished in the last 10 years, published in
late issue of that journal. Vice-President
Morton writes that the rapid development
of the South in all lines of commercial enter
prise, as shown by the record of the last de-
cade, proves that 1t Is not solely an agricul-
tural section, but the home of great diver
sity OF industries. This fact brings the
South In line with all sections of the coun-
try, and the result is sure to be mutually
beneficial.
Secretary Blaine says that the Manufac-
turers' Record could not be engaged In a
more patriotic work than in making known
to the world the rich and varied resources
OF the Southern States of the Union.
Secretary Window says that this remarka-
BILE growth in the commercial and industrial
life of the Southern States Is splendid IL
lustration of the benefcent results of the
American principle of protection which has
stood guard against the smenacing and des-
tructive influence of the old world, while
factories aud mines are being successfully
operated in the new
Secretary Noble writes: With intelli-
gence, industry and resources for develop
ment there found, the greatest assurance
may be felt that the career on which the
new South" has entered will be maintained
and perpetuated If justice Is administered to
all alike, and the right of each man to his
own preserved. These are the foundations
at last OF all prosperity, and l am confident
in the hope that they will not fail the South
ern people.
Senator Sherman writes: l trust this
prosperity will tend to settle the race con-
flict upon fair basis for, with diversity
OF pursuits. the negro will become more
valuable, more independent, and more w0r
thy of the rights and privileges Of free
dom.
Senator Vest writes: There is not in the
history Of the world progress so marvel
lous as that of the Southern people since the
war, and when we consider the circumstan-
ces which have envirOned the South since
the war, the increase of material wealth is
without parallel in the history of,the nations.
II the charges made by the partisan press of
the North be true, that the Southern people
are systematically engaged in depressing
the negro and that they spend their days in
schemiDg for that purpose and their nights
beyond question the most remarkable race
OF people who have existed upon the face of
the earth. Ii these charges were true, it
would follow that the Southern people are
able to violate all the laws which properly
govern social and economic conditions and
at the same time attain degree of prOspert-
ty which amaZeS the world.

[Oxford County Advertiser.l


w. r. Farris of Oxford, had rather a
startling adventure on the night the Lewiston
City Hall was burned. He was standing
near the burning building as one of the fire
engines came rushing up. The iremen had
some trouble in getting their machine to
working properly at first. Mr.. Farris, who
is never bashful about expressing his opin-
ions, began to taunt them, telling them in an
aggravating way he had an old squirt gun
that would throw bigger stream thOn their
old machine and advising them to dump
their OLD machine into the river and get
some garden sprinklers or something they
could do some business with. The firemen
apparently paid no attention to his taunts,
but wnen they got their machine working
in good shape suddenly turned the hose on
him. A stream of ice cold water big enough
to run small wooden mill struck him in the
mouth, saturating him from head to foot in
a moment Brother Farris gave a yell that
was heard above all the roar and tumult of
the great conflagration aud jumped behind
tree. The firemen kept him there, turning
the hose on him whenever he tried to get
away until he acknowledged that there was
no fire engines In the world equal to the
Lewiston machines and no fireman ON earth
who could fight like the Lewiston fire.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A REQUEST REFUSED,


In reply to the application of Mr.. John
Reeves for refund of duties paid at Island
Pond, VT, on seven carloads of rough oak
blocks imported on the 2Sth ultimo which he
claimed to be the property Of the Grand
Trunk Railroad company Of Canada, and
that the company now desires to use the
same in Canada, the Secretary of the Treas
ury Department is unable to comply with
such request, either on the ground that
the merchandise is to be exported or other
wise, inasmuch as section 1925 of the Revised
Statutes prescrlbes that "no return of the
duties shall be allowed on the export of any
merchandise after it has been removed ifrom
the custody and control of the government.

Grand Trunk has discontinued prorating
