i iongef appealed to the throne, and the
courtiers wore . subscrvient air which
!, appealed to the heart of the autocrat.
Seeing the monarch In this plant state
Prince Hanassar, q handsome ard
wealthy youth whose diffidenco had
often been noticed by the king, felt en-.
Outraged to plead for the hand Ut the
Princess Bru. It was no easy task
which he thus essayel. The man who
won the hand of tho emperor's child
would be king one da., and this fact
had been q potent motive in the unsuc-
cessful suit Of Ramek, the wise.
Thus it was that there was great ex-
element in the land when the emperor,
yielding to the blushing intercession of
his child, graciously ACKNOWLEDGED the
worthiness Of Prince Hamassar and
placed in his the hand of Princess Bru.
The courtiers smiled and shouted in &C
claim. but Ra,nek, frowniny. stole from
the hall in silence, and when he reached
the street breathed u vow of vengeance
to the gods. What If he were old and
thin! Was he not wise? Who was this
Hamassar that he should win a king
dom and bride while better men must
bow before him and wander alone be-
meath the stars? But hold, the end was
not yet! Was there not way to over
come this bold presumption on the part
of u prince formerly 50 modest? Surely
Ra,nek, who had placed an emperor be-
meath his thumb, should not be defeated
because for moment the force of youth
had proved tot' much for his gray hairs.
COinmuning thus with himself the
Csssius like li.:ure Of tho defeated suitor
approached tie palace. The day was
hit. and rs he removed his hat md let
:he tower scented breeze play with his
alvered locks his face became stern
with o vengeful and determined pur-
pose. Could Hamassar and the Princess
Blu have seen tina look their transports
would have been 1uch less pronounced.

The palace of Prince Hamassar was
gay with brilliant lights, and ON the soft,
warm air Of night arose the joyous notes
of drinking song. Tho gardens which
surrounded the great mansion seemed to
feel the influence of the gayety. for the
flowers welcomed the kisses of the night
wind, and the trees and shrubs muir
INJURED as though humming the air that
echoed from the banquet hall. The
fountains splashed merrily, and when
the moon came up seemed to laugh ut
their own silvery beauty.
Within the palace dark faced eunuchs
hurried about dispensing the hospitality
of their lord. Tor Prince Hamassar en-
rectained that night 200 mighty men in
honor Of his betrothal to the emperor's
child. The banquet room presented u
glorious scene. About the table were
gathered the statesmen, poets. merchants
of the land, and tire feast before them
was worthy of their rank. Stern men of

~ with their clients. Sharp eyed doctors
were gladtO see the viands and the wines
disappear SO fast, for well they knew that
indigestion, sharp and painful, would
give them work next day. So each guest
was happy in his own peculiar way, and
deco:um gave place 70 mirth US the night
waxcd old.
At the head of the room sat handsome
Prince HaInassar, his dark, fine face
lighted with a smile. Why should he
not be glad? Youth. wealth and fame
were his. and the promise of crown.
The faircst maiden in the wo..l Lad

the people and possessed the friendship
Of tho king. As he gazel about him

great men Of tho land his pulse beat
wildly and he drained glass of snow

which he knew was throbbins in his
brain.
Near him sat the wise but wicked

as he was between two robust men. But
Rainek. though not great in flesh. had 1.
brilliant tongue, and his witty jests
amused those who heard them SO that u
roar of laughter ever and anon arose
from his corner Of tho board. Out of
hisslnGll. burning eyes he watched the
prince and often pledged his health in a
trimming goblet Of the hualiest wine.
Hamassar. unsuspecting of his rivals

A Mistake.

Range and Valley.
The people of Rocky Bar, Pine
Grove and Atlanta have inaugu-
rated boycott on Mountain Home
heretofore their railroad supply
point, and are building a road to
CIenn's Ferry. The move is
prompted by the county eeat fight
in Gilmore county.
The above is taken from the
CALDWELL Tribune, and although
honest, perhaps, in this belief of
the situation, we beg to inform our
worthy contemporary that it is a
mistake. Last year an appropria'
ton of a goodly sum was made by
the county for the construction of q
wagon road from Glenn's Ferry to
Rocky Bar, but the money was in
deed foolishly appropriated mas
much as there never can be u prac-
teal wagon road built between the
above named points. OF course
the road is there but its rugged
hills and deep ravlne prevent
its utility. And so far as the boy
cot is concerned, it has only been
promoted by.a few of Rocky Bars
non-intcrested and non;taxpaycrs,
and its outcome may we'll be
guessed at. Atlanta is friendly to
Mountain Home, the majority of
even Rocky Bar herself is friendly
to Mountain Home, and the citi-
zens of Pine Grove are not at all
adverse to the above named. The
route running from Mountain
Home to the Rocky Bar.Atlanta
country was established nearly
thirty years ago, has always been
regarded as the only practical
thoroughfare connecting the two
places, and it is not at all likely
that the road will be changed now
for one that is almost impossible,
And then again the better minded
people Of the upper country are
fully aware Of the fact that when
one part of the county prospers the
other portions feel the effects of it,
and will therefore instead of boy
cotting any part Of Gilmore county
will continue to strive for the
advancement as the have
done in the past.
1t is said that TIE cigars used at
that American Protective Tariff
leage dinner were, like the dishes
and the tablecloths, of American
manufacture. This; is interesting,
but it only whe:s the public desire
to learn what kind Of cigars they
were. What did they cost and
who paid for 'em? We're the .vul-
gar two-for-a nickle cigars of New
Jersey manufacture, or did they |

pEERINc A CITY.
An Important but Very Small Town
Meeting.

A very important, but feebly attended
town meeting was held in Deering yesterday.
The question was the adoption Of the city
charter, which the legislature made for the
town three years ago. On one former occa-
sion this question was tried by the town and
the charter was rejected. But then the 9TH
er question Of annexation was before the
people, and every annexationist was
against city charter. The meeting last
spring settled the question of annexation
adversely. so yesterday the annexationists
were either Indifferent or favorable. Geo.
G. Hopkins. Esq. who was one of the lead
ers of the annexationists had pronounced in
favor OF city charter. and he seemed to
voice the sentiments Of large portion Of
his old associates.

Concerning the frequency of these bogus
fire alarms, and their connection with the new
key boxes, Inspector Hanson of the fire de-
partment says that in bis opinion the key
boxes make little or no difference. The diff
ference, II any, is favorable. He says that
In this city a very small percentage OF the
alarms are without any foundation In fact,
whereas In Boston. New York and other
cities having keyless doors or key boxes,
more than 80 per cent of the alarms are CIV

SAILORS LIBRARIES.
Facts About the Good Work Done by
the Portland Bethel.

Having seen an interesting item In the
papers recently concerning shipping a
library aboard vessel in our port, we were
led to think of a quiet work that has been
going on here for twenty years past. Sail
ors' libraries in neat and handy cases made
by the pastor of the Seamen's Bethel have
been constantly going aboard our fishermen,
coasters, deep sea vessels. revenue cutters,
and light house supply steamers. The last one
Just placed aboard the three-mast schooner,
Clara Leavitt, bringing the number up to
467. That is nearly two dozen a year on an
average since the work begun, containing
In the aggregate not far from 10000 volumes Of
good, wholesome literature.
1t may be interesting to learn the char
acter Of the books In these cases. Take the
one just shipped: A bound volume of Har-
qms OF the Scribner's Magazine. Bible.
Hymn book, Pilgrims Progress, Dung Mems
Friend, Physical Geography, some of Sir
Walter Scotts works. Cause and Cure of In
others.
Till recently Sargents Temperance Tales
were In every Library, and then they ceased
to be published. we bought up all the odds
and ends OF them, assorted and bound and
sent them about doing good on the seas.
The place of Sargent's Temperance Tales,
has never been filled In all Temperance
Literature. They ought to be republished.
Many sailor dates his salvation from these
books.
There is money value that might be
reckoned, say $40 apiece which shows cost
OF $4670, only part of the books are bought,
the rest are contributed by friends of the
cause
The practical question is raised, are these
books read? Placed aboard a nice foreign
ship in the hands Of the captain possibly
sailor may never see book and the pack
age comes back as nice as new. Ia the
hands OF a good steward both ends of the
ship fare better.
And now the question comes, ''Why don't
you put the libraries In the forcastlep" Yes,
but the crew leaves at the end of the voyage,
and what to do with 1t Is a troublesome
point; often settled by leaving the case
nailed against the partition with few un-
interesting books, while the rest go away in
handkerchief. Wisdom is profitable to d.
rect"
The Bethel libraries have gone chiefly to
our fishermen and coasters, manned largely
by our own men, and have been we'll read
at the close of the voyage, made to do duty
as circulating libraries ashore till they are
used up In good honest service-a source of
light and help along the coast
Should 1t be suggested, "a good deal Is, of
course, given by those who are benefited by
these libraries" Probably not $40 in 20
years. They are made free gift.
