Capt. Pres Wallace, W. 81. Trefethen
and Prince Trefethen went to Junk of
Pork the other morning on cunning
trip. They had breakfast at 3 a. m. and
had nothing more to eat until 9 p. m. 1t
took them four hours to row from Junk
of Pork to their house at Peaks Island, a
distance of three miles, against a heavy
wind which froze the spray on their
clothing. Capt. Wallace was so used up
he had to be left at Long Island, but he
was all right the next day. There were
116 ducks shot at Junk of Pork from
Wednesday to Friday whose aggregate
weight was one quarter of a ton. Capt.
Wallace and the Trefethens bagged 81
birds on this trip.

Living whist at Bangor.

The Bangor Wing and Courier gives a
long account of Living Whist, as pro-
duced in that city, in yesterday issue.
A second presentation was given last
night. Norombega Hall was the scene
of the game and was prettily decorated
for the occasion. The festival was given
in aid of St. Johns. Episcopal parish, and
there were booths for the sale of fancy
articles presided over by Bangor's fairest
amaidens. There were two cafes, and a
delicious supper was served from 6 to
7.45 o'clock.
ATS o'clock the large and fashionable
audience had all assembled, and Was

THE HOLY LAND.
Some Curious scenes in the Moslem's
Domain.

The lecture at the First Parish House
las evening. by Rev. James De Norman
die was a very interesting excursion to
the Holv Land with side glances at the
masterpieces of the great Italian, Elem
ish and German painters that have por-,
traved scenes in the life of Christ. Mr..
De Normandie showed his hearers first,
the town and harbor of Jaffa, the
ancient Joppa. The object of
greatest interest in that town is
the house of Simon the Tanner, where
Peter had his famous vision. In the
barbor are rocks which the ancients con-
neeted with the myth of Andromeda,
chained to the sea girt rocks.
The lecturer said that Jerusalem, like
all the eastern cities, looked fair in the
distance; but near-to is endurable only
ON account of its sacred memories. The
magnificent Moslem mosque of st. Omar
occupies the place where stood the jew
ish temple. Yet the old temple is not
forgotten, and acknowledgements of Jews
gather by the stones of the ruins of its
walls to lament and pray for the restora-
lion of the land of their fathers. TIL e
very stones are. worn smooth by the tears
and kisses of devout and mournful Jews
of many g enerations.
The place where the Holy Sepulchre is
supposed to have been is covered by a
| Christian church, built by the pious lib
| erality of Christendom. But the lecturer
described the church as neither grand
| nor beautiful; either in architecture or
ceremonials. Monks of the Greek, Latin,
Assyrian, Armenian and Coptic Christian
churches are it's jealous tenants; and
their rivalries are SO bitter that Arab
| soldiers are needed to keep them in
Christian peace, while a Moslem govern
or is custodian of the altar furnishings
because no one of the priests can be
trusted with them. The valley of Jehos-
aphat is curious place. Hebrew
tradition regards this place as the scene
of the resurrection, and the hillside is
fairly paved with the tombs of pious
| Jews, VINO IN Their olu dSe nave CONT
there from all parts of the world to die
and be buried handy to the scene of the
resurrection. They are still going there
and the tombs are still multiplying.
The Garden of Gethsemane, supposed
to be on the site of the old garden, il
kept much like an English garden, ano
is noted for its aged olive trees, which
are claimed to have been there in the time
of Christ. The lecturer did not think
this improbable in view of the fact thai
Prof. Gray had found in California pine
which he believes to have been saplins
when Christ was on earth. The Dragon
tree of Teneriffe is believed to be as old
as any pyramid, and in the South O
France is an oak which saw the march o
Cmsar's legions and of Napoleon's col
umns.
4 Hebron was noticeable for the rigor O.
| it's Moslem customs. There, as in Other
Moslem countries, the lecturer found thu
/ Mohammedans consistent teetotallers, re
1 garding a liking for wine as the failing
and reproach of the Christians.

managing wide awake team which to

success.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York makes it's annual statement
in our advertising columns this morning.
Its large assets, it's unparalleled surplus,
which is tower of strength in depres-
sing times, it's promptness in meeting its
obligations, and the simplicity of its
contracts, makes this society one of the
most desirable to patronize. Among the
most popular investments of the day are
the Endowment Bonds issued by the
Equitable in denominations of $1,000 up
ward. The society guarantees 5 per cent
interest on the sum of the premiums
paid during period of Is or 20 years,
and in event of death before the maturi-
ty of the bond, where the premiums
paid amount, at per cent compound in
terest, to more than the face of the poll
CIV, such excess is paid with the face of
the policy This form of investment is
recognized among Portland's business
men as one of the most conservative, and
is being literally patronized. The bonds
are unrestricted as to residence, travel
and occupation, after the first year; in
contestable after the second year; and
non-forfeitable after the third year. Any
of the society's agents are authorized to
negotiate for the purchase of these bonds.

Failing on In the Tea Crop-FataI En-
counter With Tax Collectors.
Advices from Foochow state that on the
9th inst. the export of tea to Europe was
7,75o.0O0 pounds, against 7,0O0, eco pounds at
the same date last year. Settlements for
the fortnight were 4S, Coo chests COngou and
7e00 chests Souehong, when showed great
falling of when compared with the figures
for the previous fortnight, Notwithstanding
drop lD fTeights to los per ton. The sec
ond crop OF tea, being poor In quality, is
said 10 have attracted but little attention as
yet. The first crop Of COngou totalled
1875, 600 chests, being $4,000 chests less than
last year. The second crop is expected TO
show even greater deficiency.
a correspondent Of northern paper gives
an account of a visit which he paid TO
Chinaman who has taken VOW to Wstch
his mothers grave for three years. The
neighbOTs had built q hut over the grave,
and his friends send HIM supplies of food.
He never leaves the hut for any purpose,
never washes, nor shaves nor changes his
clothing. As this kind of madness is con-
sideIel very meTitOTious by the Chinese the
fliai son is certain TO be comfortably pro-
yided for by the authorities when he has
finished his vigil.
