A Soldiers Ideas.
The Bangor Commercial says:

Colonel Victor Brett, of the Second Regiment,
is in favor of holding the muster earlier this year
than has been the custom. and said this forenoon
that he would like to see it ordered 10 commence
Monday, June 30th. In that case, II it were de
July 4th, it would be very easy to transport the
troops from Augusta to that place on Friday, and
thus have them all go home on their special train
after the grand parade The proposed trip to
Portland, il made, means a vast amount OF work
and great fatigue on the part of the militia and
the people of the Forest City, who are so enthusi-
astic about the matter, do not realize what
jaunt 1t would be. Nevertheless ii is good expert
ence for both regiments. Colonel Brett is to have
the fine new company, to be mustered at Bath
Thursday evening, assigned to his regiment, and

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The works at Montague, as that part of
Enfield where the great pulp mill stands
has been name d, have cost nearly S500,000,
and about them a pretty village has grown
lings, ana some additional manufacturing
enterprises. The big mill is two years old,
but the village was built In few months.
1t was little singular that Deputy
Marshal Metcalf of the Lewiston police
should have found his dress parade club in
the ruins of the city building on Monday,
the day when the police force appeared for
the first time equipped with clubs and belts.
The club was SIS good as new and the white
silk cord and tassel were not materially in
iured by their stay in the ruins. By the way,
is it not singular that Lewiston and Bangor
equip their policemen while Portland, the
metropolis of the state, allows its guardians
of the peace to go without belts or clubs.
The farmers of Aroostook county are said
to be turning from their great staple, pota-
toes, to the cultivation of Strawberries. One
man in Presque Isle has commenced the bus
mess this year by planting an acre OF new
land with berry vines. The soil is rich and
with proper climatic advantages the scheme
is sure to be great success. The climate of
AroOstook will insure the ripening of the
fruit after the Southern supply Is exhausted,
thus prolonging the season and greatly in
creasing the supply.
Times have changed since old father Eze-
kiel Emerson was pastor of the church in
ancient Georgetown, in 1888. He was greatly
opposed to the Introduction of instrumental
music in church, and some of the old mem
bers of the parish carried their dislike to the
new tangled notion" to such an extent that
they left the house and did not return until
the tune ended. People oftentimes have the
same feeling nowadays during the perform
ance of some alleged music on the vocal in
strument. but they have in great measure
learned not to show their feelings by going
out of church,

The Boersen Courier says the fact the

tional occurrence.
The National Zeitung, Vossische Zeitung,

NEW YORK, May 14.-A special from

Speaker Reed is doing his best to have the Sen.
ate follow the example of the House, and adopt
rules for speedy transaction of business. "If
the Senate would do the proper thing" he said
yesterday, Congress might get through its work
and adjourn for the session about Jnly 4. But II
the Senate, on the contrary, adheres to its old
rule of unlimited talk no telling when the session
may end"
The Speakers idea is to get vote on every
question before Congress with as little debate as
will serve the purpose and up to the present time
he is very well satisfied with the operation of the
new rules in the House.
