The Jonesport correspondent Of the Ma
chias Rcpub}icdH gives the following ac-
count of the Messrs, Ingalls,. who have
lived on and about Spruce island for many
years
They first came to this section in a small
fishing vessel, and lived on board their yes
sci for several successive winters: finally
they purchased what is called little Spruce
island, which Is about on the line between
Joneshoro and Jonesport, but is claimed
by the latter. Here they built a camp or
small house, sold their vessel and pur-
chased boat in which they conveyed sea
weed from other parts of the island to the
harbor where they live, and planted pota-
toes
Last ycar they raised three hundred
bushels of marketable potatoes. They
have no team, nor modern improvements
of any Kind their potato field is in sunny
spot near the seaside. The first potatoes
they marketed last fall were taken to Rock
land In their boat and sold for sixty cents
per hushcl; since that time they have had
more orders than they could MI for one
dollar 9 bushcl They were Young men
when they came to this section, and have
grown old here. There were three when
they came here and just that number now
There has tcen no increase or decrease,

Congressional Jokers.
Washington Post.

A member of the Congressional party
which visited Yorktown on Tuesday to cele-
brate the anniversary of the surrender of
CORVALLIS tells good story at the expense
of Representative Baker, OF New York,
whose geniality is proyerbia]. When the
steamer Charlotte, of the York river line
reached West Point the captain announc-
ed that an opportunity would be given
those who wished TO inspect the town for
an hour SO Mr.. Baker invited Represen-
tatives Morrill,, of Kansas, and Sherman
to join him in a drive, and accordingly
chartered one of the ancient hacks left by
Cornwallis to drive them about for half
an hour, or "a dollars worth"
As Mr.. Baker never neglects an oppor-
tunity TO play prank on a colleague :
especially on Mr.. Morrill-he waited until
the venerable negro who was doing the
'.Jehu act" had closed glowing descrip-
tion of West Point, and quietly remarked
to Mr.. Morrill, Now, Mr. Blaine, if you
could only get President Harrison to re-
commend an appropriation for the building
of college here it would be the making
of West Point" The remark viSibly start
led the driver. Approaching the joke and
desiring to turn it upon Mr.. Baker, Mr.
Morrill, replied;
"Oh, certainly, Mr.. Morton. l will do
that; but why don't you pass bill through
the Senate appropriating the money and
get Speaker Reed here to put it through
the House?" Representative Sherman
promptly remarked that he would rush
it through the House." The driver nearly
fell of the box in fit. Here he was driv-
ing about in his hack Vice President
Morton, Speaker Reed and Secretary
Blaine. Whispering to the boy en- the
seat with him, the news soon scattered
among the entire colored population of
West Point. which gathered on the wharf
to see the distinguished trio. With hat in
hand and bowling and scraping in the most
profound manner as they alighted, the
old man remarked TO Mr.. Baker as he
handed out the dollar: Look heah. Mr..
Morton, Use always been a stiff Republi-
can. and voted for you and Marse Harrison
two years ago, and. if you has no objec-
tion-please 'scuse de old man for axiDg

To confess the joke would have dis.
graced them in the eyes of the crowd
and, without word, the jolly Baker hand
ed over another dollar, and set up the
lemonade and cigars the balance Of the

Memory's Treachery.

In one of the London theatres early in
this century a curious case occurred of
sudden failure of memory. The perform
ance was somewhat Of mixed character,
and the gods in the galleries called for the
"Sprg of Shllela-h," which being very
favorite song they much desired to hear
sung. though it had not been announced
on the bills. Mr.. John Henry Johnstone,
who was q well known Irish actor and
singer, came forward with good-humored
readiness to comply with the expressed de-
sire Of the gallery folk.
SO the music commenced, but Mr. John
stone stood still and silent, apparently
much confused. Again the symphony was
played, but the unfortunate singer looked
more confused than before A third time
the symphony was repeated but all to no
purpose. and Mr.. Johnstone came to the
front of the stage, and addressed the aud
fence thus
ladies and gentlemen, assure you
that have sung this song 80 often that
forget the first liue"
The words were greeted by a roar Of
laughter, and hundreds of voices began to
prompt him. This had the desired effect,
and he sang the song with great success
and much increased applause.

A Street Car Incident.
New York Tribune.


Even car drivers, the silent, majestic and
scornful, at times, show touch of nature
which makes the whole world kin" The
writer stood on the front platform with
one few evenings ago. He lashed him
self into rage over the many and sudden
rings Of the conductor for stops. At last
he said Say, mister, if you will hang
on to the rail I'll get square with that
man." Then he cut his horses fiercely and
they began to gallop. He watched until
the conductor was walking through the
car to the rear platform. Just as the con-
ductor reached the door the driver said be-
tween his teeth, Hang on. now" He
gave the brake a sudden jerk and the car
stopped like an arrested cannon ball. The
brake was as quickly thrown back, whirl-
ing around with a sharp rattle as the car
bounded on again. The conductor had
unceremoniously sat down right in the
doorway, his back to the passengers.
There was grim smile on the drivers
face when the front door was thrown open
minute later, and the conductor, thrust
ing his head out, asked in the name of all
that was not polite what the trouble was
Il nearly ran down an old man." answered
the driver, making dextrous cut at the
nigh horse. "Dld you hurt him?" asked
the conductor. mo, just missed him. y
The conductor paused. Il wish l had
seen the old man. he said, slowly, and he
closed the door and went back to his plat
form.

And often our face to the east we turned

Yet farther awas beyond our gaze
Lies another and faiTer hill.
And we wonder now II the suns bright rays

Young Blaine Coppinger and the Dog Jose

shortly after the campaign II l,-t. ac.
cording to the New York Ir,tUUs, some
one sent to Miss Margaret Blaine, now
Mrs. Walter Damrosch, a magnificent mas
tin whom ~he named lose. The dog
showed remarkable intelligence from the
tr-t. and was specially fond of little
Blaine Coppngcr, Mr.. B.aine's grandson.
"Blainey" Coppingcr was then restless
active little sprite II skirts, and had a pas
sion for running away. He used to catch
hold of the mastiff, tail and let the great
animal drag him all over the moor. Anoth-
er delight Of the child was to open tile
wide, red jaws of Jose with his tiny hands
and look into the caveruous mouth, with
it, long, flashing teeth. Jose often ac-
companied 'Blaney's" nurse when she set
forth to catch and bring back the child
when he started to run away.
One day when no one was looking, the
child made dash for the front gate, and
having got clear of the house, trotted con
tentedly up the street. Jose saw the eS-
ca and followed. A few minutes later
"Blaineys' cries of anger We're heard.
Jose had picked him up with his teeth, by
The waist of the child's skirt, and was carry
ing the young runaway home. "Blainey
was kicking tremendously with his vigor-
Gus young legs and was tearing and
scratching at Jose's rough face, while his
lungs sent out loud protest against such
treatment. The mastiff carried the child,
wrthing and squirming, through the front
gate and into the hall, where he put down
the burden, and standing over ''Blainey,"
unmindfui of his cries of indignation,
wagged his tail contentedly satisfied that
he had done his duty.

Good Advice.
HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.

The following contains advice which ex-
perienced business men indorse and young
men will do we'll to follow:
Have but one business, know it thorough
ly, and attend personally to its minutest
details. Be self-reliant, concentrate YOUR
energies in determined and supreme eff
fort to conquer success. Keep your own
counsel, attend strictly to business, and
never dabble in anything foreign to it, cur
tail your expenses, never sacrifice safety
to prospective large returns, cut short
your losses and let your profits run on and
make your prime movers industry, econo-
my and fair dealing. 1t is the merest
rant and hosh to rely on Luck. He is al
ways indolent and whining, folding his
arms, drinking and smoking, waiting for
big prizes in lotteries or lying abed ex
pecting letter with news # legacy. On
the contrary, Labor and Pluck are invinci-
Bile heroes who conquer success; tney
strike out new paths, create, contrive,
think, plan, originate, take all legitimate
risks, toll to surmount obstacles, push
forward, win renown by success. The
glorious galaxy of successful business
men and illustrlous authors have all been
hard workers. Shpn bad company and the
prevalent vices of the day, never loan a
borrowing friend more than you are able
to lose if he cannot pay, and never take a
loan on importantly. Never borrow mon
ey to speculate with. Acquire know
ledge. 1t is only enlightened men who
successfully hold their own with the surg
ing masses who throng the road to riches.
Avoid law and legal squabbles Of every
kind. In discussing business disagree
ments, keep cool. Make all the money
you can and do all the good you can with
it, remembering that he who lives for him
self alone lives for the meanest man in crea-
tioD. If engaged in public business, advertise
it; be punctual in meeting promised pay
ments; keep short accounts; settle often /;
be clear and explicit in making bargains.
Be civil and obligng as well as decisive
and prompt with customers, and do not
overtrade your capital. Finally, in the ma
turity Of life, don't rust out by retiring
from business keep bright by useful ef-
fort, remembering that industry and hap
piness are inseparable.
