Stupid Tactics.
I Pittsfeld Advertiser.

An Augusta correspondent of the Argus
last week severely criticized the Worlds
Fair Commission, and Governor Burleigh
in particular. for their junketing trip" to
Poland Springs, stating that they met at the
NEST expensive resort in the State, and
were using up the appropriation in An un
warranted manner. Whereupon Editor
Bsss OF the Bangor Commercial. . member
of the commission, explained that they met
at the Poland Spring House by invitation
of the proprietors. and were entertained
free Of charge; and that Governor Bur.
leigh went on his own account and paid his
own expenses. The element in Augusta
which is bent on discrediting every action
of Gov. Burleigh will by these stupid tao
lies only bring discredit upon itself.

Remarkable Group Of Mines.

4 group of old Spanish or Aztec mines
has recently been discovered at Las
Placitas, about twenty miles from AL
buquerque, New Mexico. An extensive
system of underground work has been
brought to light. The mineral discov-
cred, while not of the highest grade, is
rich enough to pay handsomely and runs
generally from $50 to $50 to the ton.
But what is more interesting is the fact
that these explorations have developed
unmistakable evidences that the work on
these mines, which was performed, no.
body knows how many centuries ago,
was brought to a summary conclusion by
an earthquake or general upheaval of
some sort. Not only all the mine work
ings, smelters, furnaces, ETC., were
buried under some fifteen feet of earth,
but there has also been found on the
same level the ruins of what was once an
aqueduct for bringing water to the camp
from source about ten miles distant.
The camp Of Las Plactias is gu the east
ern slope of the Scandal Mountains, about
twenty miles from Albuquerque, and
promises to become one of the most in
teresting fields of archaeological research
yet discovered in that country. Chicago

strange Story of q Dream.

It was some time in the spring OF 1860
that Jethro jackson went to Resaca to
look for the grave of his son, who was
killed in battle. Like many Others, he
wished to find the remains, and TO take
them to Griffin and inter them in the
family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young Jackson
to rest rave the father a description OF
the spot where they had buried him, tell
ing him about the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the bridge.
After many days of tireless search Mr..
Jackson failed to locate his sons grave,
and returned to his home in Griffin.
few nights after his return he dreamed
that his son came to him and pointed out
the spot where he was buried.
The dream was like vision. He saw
his son standing beside his bed, and heard
him say:
Father, I am buried under moand
which was thrown up after was killed.
You will know the mound when you see
it by the pokeberry bushes growing upon
it. Go and take me up and carry me
home to mother"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson, that be
returned at once to Resaca, taking with
him one of the comrades who had buried
his son.
The mound was found just as de-
scribed in the dream, and the pokcberries
were growing upon it. An excavation
was made, and few feet below the
earth the rough pine coffin was found,
and in it were the remains of young
Jackson. He was fully identified, not
only by the coffin and the shoes, which
were apresent from the father, but by the
name which was on the clothing.-At:

The Thermometer.

Hero of Alexandria, who lived about
$50 years B. c., is said to have been the
inventor of an instrument for measuring
tLe heat or cold of the atmosphere,
which instrument continued in use until
about the close of the sixteenth century.
1t was then reduced to a more convenient
form by one Sanctonio, an Italian, and
was afterwards considerably improved,
especially by Fahrenheit, who, in 1920,
affixed the graduated scale and added
other details which chiefly tended to
render the thermometer the instrument
of practical utility which it now So

OUR SPRING-TIMES.

When spring comes to seek her own
DO they all rise at her words?
Is the little fedgeiing's tone
Sweet as was the parent bird'ss
When once more the streamlets roam
Do the robins all come home?
Here's nest upon bough,
But there comes no bird to claim;
Has she made new nest Low?
IL from some far land we came
We should all the home nest know,
Even were it filed with snow.
There are blue eyes that we miss
In the flush of violet time;
Something lacking in the bliss
OF the bird-bells' sweetest chime;
In the heart are many spots
Sacred to fOrget-me-nots.
If perchance youth cometh back
Through some treasure on your knee,
Still the heart will prove lack,
Lovely though the child may be;
For if itso needeth you,
You still need your mother, too.
Sometime will the far-off springs
Come back with these later ones;
There will be no missing wings,
There will be no missing tones,-
All the joys, but dearer grown.
OF the spring-times we have known.

there is also something to be said in favor

that Mr.. Mullone's bill sought to deprive
him of the rights granted him by the
Riparian Commissioners when he pur-
chased from them under the act of 1859.
He had always considered. and rightly,
too. that he was the owner of the land.
and he spoke Of going to the United

ture could pass an act violating one of
the States contracts. He will have no

Igspoke 10 Riparian Commissioner Viii
lard Fisk about Mr.. Mullone's bill and
he explained its scope. In 1851, before
the question of the States Jurisdiction to
lands under water had been settled. a bill
was passed which authorized the Board

ing on the waters Of the State. TO build
wharves out 10 deep water. This license
was merely personal 10 the individual.
had TO be acted upon within five years.
from the date 1t was issued. and it was
given without compensation 10 the
State.
When the act given the State juris-
diction over riparian lands was passed in
1869 IL repealed the act Of 1851, So far as it
applied 10 the waters of the Hudson
Rlver, New York Bay and the Kill Won
Kull. When the Riparian Commissioners
came TO lease lands all over the State,
they found themselves hampered in
many localities by the act of 1851 For
example in Newark when people wished
to erect wharves on the Passalc river, in
which the deep water was a short distance
only from the shore. they went to the
Freeholders OF Essex county, and OBJ
tanned the license to build a wharf under
the license law of 1851 Then they built a
bulkhead at deep water and filled in the
small intervening space. In this manner
they obtained valuable riparian rights
from which the State derived no revenue
Mr.. Mulloneis bill amends the act of 1869
by striking out the words "New York
Bay, Hudson River aud Kill Won Kull" so
that the entire act Of 1851 is entirely re-
pealed and the Commissioners have entire
jurisdiction over the entire state.
