APlea for the sparrows.

Miss Lucy W. Coney, daughter of ex-
Governor Coney, writes the Boston Jour-
nal:
have been an invalid number of
wears and one of my chief amusements
has been to watch the busy creatures in
the little world which look at from my
windows. That 'sthe English sparrow
drives away other BIRDS know is not
true, for as soon as the birds begin to
come in spring scatter crumbs to them.
That the English sparrows outnumber
the others that feed is true, but with
them come, at the same time, our little
red-headed sparrow, her ''cousln,2 q
larger sparrow, and our common robin.
/ often count fifteen OF twenty of the
English sparrows at one time, but our
own native birds feed with them, and al
ways peacefully. An oriole has had her
nest near my window, and, with her
gorgeous mate, has fed and raised her
brood. | have counted, on an old tree
near by, six woodpeckers at one time,
and MANY times have seen two OF three.
A robin redbreast had her nest on the
bar which fastens fine trellis to pillar
of our piazza, and have seen and heard
ssyellow BIRDS and ''linnets'' very near
the house.
NV experience and observation are
that the little English sparrow attends to
it's own affairs very we'll, and might
serve as an example in that respect to
some who are supposed to know more.
If [ wanted to complain of them
shonld say that their young, like many
babies of the human race, are noisy
when hungry.

Sad Fate of Bright Young Men.
To the Editor of the Press:

10 Jhe E02JOT o. Jfbe Teoo.
A short editorial in the Eastern Argus
July 18th, came under my observation
this morning. The editorial in question
is that which refers to the letter of one
Mr.. L. W. Small to Sheriff Cram. There
was one sentence in that remarkable (?)
editorial that attracted my attention es-
pecially. 1t was this; What does he
know of the hundreds OF bright young
men who have been made regular drink
ers of whiskey under Sheriffs Grants en-
forcement of the liquor law?'
Now Mr.. Editor that seems to me the
utmost drivel of strong party paper
working for certain end. bright
you1,q men, wonderfully bright. those
Hundreds of Young men, must be!
Stand them up in line Mr.. Argus and
let us look at them. Are they speci-
mems of bright Portland youth! Driven
to drinking whiskey by Mr.. Grants en-
forcement of the liquor law! 1t is the
saddest thing in all the world that those
'sbriqht go,,eg nen'' should be so SADLY
ruined. What brightness, what strength
of character they exhibit! What could
the Argus have said more silly, more in
sind! What a reflection on those Upright
young menu
Mr.. Editor am interested in young
men and that brilliant sentence of the
Argus is exceedingly beneath the dignity
of any gentleman in this commonwealth
in these days of intelligence.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES $500.
The Maine Hay Crop:

The stage of growth of the grass crop
in the State at this date is a full week be-
hind the usual average. The hay har-
vest over the southern half of the State
was commenced with the opening of the
present week, yet on this, our publica-
ton day, can hardly be said to have got
well underway. Wide opportunities
for observation and inquiry in different
sections of the State have enabled us to
draw conclusions as to the present
standing of the crop with some conf
dense Of approximate reliability.
1t will be recalled that there was but
little snow covering the ground last
winter, and that what there was disap-
peared early in the season, leaving the
ground bare to the effects of the freez-
inc and thawing which for quite a long
period followed. As a result the dry
lands throughout the State, and more
especially in the shore counties, suffered
from having the stand of grass badly
thinned by this action. This was es-
pecially true of the clover stand. In
some cases such fields have been replow.-
ed in consequence while very rare indeed
is fair field of clover to be found on
SuCn SOIL. lu6 high lduu oOl1o oio NV
suffer proportionately, consequently on
all such farms there is found an average
condition in the stand of grass.
The drouth which, Immediately fol-
lowed the opening of spring, was not
favorable to the repairing Of the damage
by the freezing out already done. AS a
consequence the middle of June brought
most discouraging outlook for the ex-
tent of the crop. The heavy and fire.
quent rains which have since followed
have rapidly improved conditions, yet
have hardly been able to fully repair the
damage by killing on the clays..
Though now SO well along in the sea-
son, yet the crop is still gaining rapidly.
and will continue to through the month
on all fields showing a good bottom
stand if not cut. But the crop, on the
whole, will be light one as compared
with the great bounty Of each of the
last four years. With favorable condi-
lions continuing from this date forward,
liberal estimate cannot place the crop
above three-fourths that of last year.
The higher prices for hay in market,
prevailing for the last six months, cleaned
out the stock on hand pretty closely in
the hay shipping districts, while the
cold and late spring, requiring unusually
late feeding among the stockmen,
emptying in the barns of the stock grow
ers to an extent not known for years.
Hence there is but little old hay left on
hand in the State, and for the stock car
ried through the next winter feeders will
be dependent on the short crop of the
present harvest Farmer, July
18th.

Washington county's BURBERRY crop,
which has hitherto been a source of in
come to it's people, is threatened by a
new enemy in the form of an insect.
which is devouring the leaves and leav-
ing the bushes entirely bare.
There is great boom at Northeast
Harbor, and it is almost impossible to
get room. Vice President Morton has
applied for rooms for the summer, but
could not be accommodated, as there
were not apartments to be had that were
suitable for him.
Canton Ridgeley, Patriarchs Militant,
is to make grand pilgrimage to Bur
lington, VT, on the last three days of
August. AS general thing the Maine
secret orders are not talking much
about pilgrimages this season. 1t costs
lot of money to go on those trips

The elephant Jupiter has finally de-
parted from Backsport. He was caught
in the swamp and chained to tree. He
was very hungry, and at breakfast he
called for water and succeeded in swal-
lowing twenty-five pals full before his
thirst was quenched, and oats, hay, grass,
and in fact everything eatable, even to
the paper wrappings and boxes in which
the food for the men was carried dlsap-
peared as if by magic. About 2 O'Clock
he was released from the tree that held
him through the night and his chains SO
adjusted that he could walk with some
degree of comfort, and after few photo
graphs were taken of him he started for
the depot, stopping under the dlfferent
shade trees to rest; and, without any
trouble whatever, he stepped into his car,
bidding the assembled company GOOD
bye in his expressive manner. The only
being in Bucksport reckless enough to
attack Jupiter was dog. The dog
made for Jupiter and caught him by the
trunk. The elephant gave the dog toss
high in the air, but by series of contor-
tions the latter came down on his feet all
right. He again made dash at the enc
my, and this time the elephant seized
him without the least gentleness and
threw him sky high. When the aero
nai1t came down this time he concluded
he3had had the worst of the fight and
marched away.
Few realize the rapid growth OF Lewis
ton so wildly as did an aged man from
Brunswick, who was found in the streets
of the great factory town the other day,
inquiring if that was Lewiston Falls"
A man told him that he was at the
Falls and asked him when he was there
last. 81 was up here in '43, but there
WASH no such work as there be now.
1t was COW pasture, full of mud-holes
and lamb-lxill where this street is" and
he pointed to Lisbon street. II went to
a surprise party at young Ham Brooks,
who lived down below the corner. He
was a good fellow. / knew him when he
taught school at Brunswick nigh onto 20
wears ago. There want no such canals
and folks and stuff here then Where on
earth did all of you folks come from any
way? I've read that Lewiston was the
greatest town on earth, but | haint
thought it had come to this.

OBITUARY..
Abiiah Usher.

Abiiah Usher, one of the most promi-
nent and estimable citizens of Hollis
died at his home in Bonny Eagle on the
18th. of heart disease. He had been con-
fined to the house for the past three
months, and had been a great sufferer.
He was nearly so years of age. Mr..
Usher was well known throughout the
country as a sterling citizen, and pos
sessed rare combination OF qualities
that made him a kind husband and in
dulgent father. His kindly disposition
prompted him to assist those in need,
and to extend helping hand to persons
less fortunate than himself. He was
connected with the Methodist church,
and his daily life amply proved him to
be a Christian in the true sense of the
word Mr.. Usher leaves a wife and
three sons. The funeral will take place
today from his late residence at 2 o'clock
