A NOrtherner'S Admiration.

In the summer of 1888, says the Rich
uond State, Professor Jas Redpath was
commissioned by the late Allen Thorndike
Rice to visit NJ. Jefferson Davis at his
home in Mississippi to secure his pen for
several articles on the war, viewed from a
Southern standpoint, and on some of the
Confederacy's most prominent lesders-
Professor Redpath, who, it should be
known, was al old time abolitionist, pub

The Size Of the Baltimore.

The question has been frequently asked
during the past week, what the size of the
cruiser Baltimore is, relatively to the other
vessels of the navy. The vessels'of the navy
are not rated at tonnage as merchant vessels
are; but by displacement, the Baltimore's
being 4.4o0 tons; the Chicago, Commodore
Walkers flagship, is 1850 tons; the Maine,
now building, 6,646 tons; the Texas,
battleship. $500 tons. OF the old navy the
double-turreted monitor Puritan is 5000 tons
and OF the old wooden frigates the Franklin
is 5.l7O; the Minnesota 400 and the Wabash
4,659. 1t will thus be seen that there are
three of the new iron-clads larger than the
Baltimore and four old-tmers that are larger
but not one-tenth so effective as Admiral
Gherardps flagship.

HE READS THE PAPERS.
The Tale Of Two sharpers and a
Sharp Old Hayseeder.

Yesterday man was seen on Commercial
street. he was from the country, and was
feeling well because he had just got the bet
ter of sharper. The man was unmistaka-
bly, from the farm, and was proud of the
fact. He had on boots calculated to outlast
three pairs of city boots, and there was
wisp or two of new mown hay on his gar
ments.
A sharper saw the old farmer, and tried to
take him In. He made his acquaintance in
the way common to his class, and then in
due time, having got in his work. as he
thought, by his talk of "home," he was met
by man who wanted his pay at once. His
"bill" of $100 must be satisfied, or the
goods" wouldn't be sent out The sharper
was very sorry. Wouldn't the afternoon do
quite as we'll? 1t wouldn't. He must have
the cash at once. The sharper was more
sorry than ever, but he had check for $500
on Bangor bank.
The man with the bill" was quite willing
to take check, but hadn't the change ana
really did need his money very mucn. FER
haps, he suggested, the gentleman might
cash the check. or lend 500, taking the
check for security.
The old farmer took the check and looked
at It. He admitted that he had the 800 and
a ten or so over with him. but would suggest
a visit to the telegraph office. and the send
ing Of telegram to the Bangor bank to see
If it was all right. The sharper looked blue,
and so did the man with the bill. They
made little more talk, and then the sharper
said he would meet the other two at the Office
of the Western Union in ten minutes.
He left, and soon after the man with the
bill remembered bit of business he could
attend to as well as not, and meet the others
at the Office In ten minutes.
The old farmer went to the Western Union
Office. but the other two didn't meet Per
haps they forgot the appointment, and per
haps the old farmer was right when he OBJ
served, ''By gosh, guess they think by this
| time that read the papers"

she was loved. 1t was her good fortune, far
beyond most people, to inspire the good will
and affection of those with whom she came
in contact, and this she did by the very SIM
plicity and kindness of her character. A
mind of rare cultivation, perfect sincerity
and dignity of manner, and sweet DISPOSE

peculiar charm which few could resist. At
the time she was taken i'll she was unselfsh-
ly devoting herself to the comfort Of an older
sister. who has long been an invalid. Con,
finement to her bed for some months conId
not abate her cheerfulness, or the knowledge
that her illness was fatal, her cour ige.
Mrs. Dyer was born in Danville, the place
of her death. in 1917. She was the daughter
of Aaron Porter, Esq, leading citizen of
that section and Of family prominent in
revolutionary days. She was twice married,
first to Henry Mattocks of Danville, and af-
forwards to Isaac Dyer of Baldwin. She
leaves two sons, General Charles P. Mat
tocks of this city and Hon. Isaac w. Dyer of
Baldwin, the present United States attorney
for Maine.
Mrs. Dyer will be buried at East Baldwin
