STRANGE SUPERsTITIoS.-ln the country
about Homolicz, in Hungary, a number OF
men had died, leaving young widows who
after a time, became engaged to be married
again. The graves fthc dead husbands We're
ali found to have been disturbed, and further
investigation proved that the graves and the
collins in them had been opened and the heads
of the @cofi,ses severed from the trunks. lhe
~bridcgrooms of the widows had thus desecrat,
Oh the resting places OF the dead. At the trial
th.v said that there WAS a tradition or con-
y%iriion among the people that widows who
married again would in the bridal night and
further on be harrasScd by the reappearsncc
of their first husbands unless the latter had
been previously decapitated. That Is why
the bridegroom had to commit the dismal
deed before their marriage with the widows
could be celebrated.

CAT AND RoosTER.-Two bright boys
of San Francisco send US an interesting
account of a battle waged between a
bantam rooster and the family cat.
Spur. the rooster, had a small family OF
three hens. and for some time observed,
with sorrow, that the cat was in the
habit of stealing the hens food. One
dav his sorrow was increased to anger,
especially when the cat gave d OF the
hens a severe clawing. Spur instantly
sprang at the cat and gave him a dig.
The cat snarled and spit and made a
spring, hut Spur cleverly lodged. For
two or three minutes the fur and fcath-
ers few around the yard, while the
hens stood looking on, encouraging
their champion with a low, cIucSlng
sound. In the end the cat squaiied ior
Mhiis spur spun i flew ' up on a high box and
crowcd triumphantly.-Go(den Days.

Oriticising Newspapers.

E. w. Howe, man Of much newspaper
experience, has written a good many good
things but nothing truer than what he says
about newspaper criticism. He says:
| wonder that every editor does not
tremble when he thinks of his army Of crit
les, for as q rule they are sharp and mer-
ciless, and some Of them thoroughly under
stand every subject discussed 10 a news
paper. The slightest blunder Is as sure of
making mischief as spark in powder
house. l sometimes think that the
responsibility of editors consists IN realiz-
ing the intelligence of their readers.
man who does not amount to much in his
own calling often thinks it a disgrace that
an editor does not amount to great deal;
and such nan will spend valuable time in
criticising an editor that should be devoted
to rescuing his own business from failure.
An editor may say he is no more entitled
to criticism than other men, but it will
always be fact that he will be criticised
more. He will always be the stone on which
school children will whet their appetite
for criticism. An editor should, therefore,
steadfastly maintain course that will re.
suit in as little criticism as possible, always
remembering that right is criticised less
than wrong. Wherever l have lived, the
people have come to me almost daily to
complain of the othes editors, and have
no doubt the other editors were bothered
in the same way with complaints Of me.
A stranger may 60 into any town in the
United States and be encouraged to start
another paper, being assured that those
already in existence will die soon after he
has started . really good one. This means
that the people In every town in the United
States are quick to observe the bad habits
Of their editors, and that the editors must
stand it. whether they like it or not.
Unless newspaper is exceedingly careful,
its enemies will rally around the man or
measure it opposes in dangerous numbers.
Editors who question this statement
should, on the contrary, regard it ~ a dis
cOvery.

The tenth anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Lawrence was observed at their
lovely home. ''Idylwilde," Sorrento, on
Monday evening, the 2sth. The spacious
piazza was beautifully lighted with jap
anese lanterns. and the entire house was
ablaze with lights. The guests from Sui
livan, West Sullivan, West Gouldsboro
and Ellsworth. to the number of about
fifty, we're most beautifully entertained by
the host and hostess In their charming
home and its attractive belongings. They
we're assisted by Mrs. Lawrence's parents,
her sister. Miss Hattie Conners. and niece,
Miss Grace Merrill, the latter two adding
much to the occasion by their wonderful
gift of song and whistle. At midnight .
sumptuous repast Of turkey. cold meats,
salads, cake, ice cream and coffee, and last,
but not least, large loaf Of wedding cake,
bearing the dates 1882 and 1891, were served
In profusion to the guests. Among the
souvenirs OF the occasion, was the verita-
BILE old shoe thrown after them by Miss
Belle Wilson, ten years before, when they
started out on what has since proved SO
pleasant and prosperous . journey Of life.
Every one present enjoyed and will long
remember this pleasant occasion, and on
evident pleasure, mo one can have en-
joyed it more than ourselves"
We all regret TO learn of an accident.
which happened last week, to our friend
and former townsman, Mr.. Fred Simpson
Of Newton, Mass. Struggling with .
frightened horse. he was thrown and quite
seriously bruised and shaken up, but no
bones were broken, and at last accounts
was doing well, thankful to come out 20

A Longing for a Country without n slave

A Longing for a Country without n slave
or a Drunkard.
OF our political revolution of 1776 we
are Justly proud. 1t has given us degree
OF political freedom far exceeding that of
any other nation of the earth. In 1t the
World" has found solution of the long
mooted problem as to the capability of
man TO govern himself. In ID was the
germ which has vegetated, and is still to
grow and expand into the universal liberty
Of mankind.
Turn now to the temperance revolu-
tion. In 1t we shall find stronger bond
age broken, viler slavery manumitted, a
greater tyrant deposed. In II more of want
supplied, more disease healed, more sor-
row assuaged. BY it, no orphan starving,
no widows weeping by it, none wounded
In feeling, none injured in interest-even
the dram maker and the dram seller will
have glided into other occupations so
gradually as never to have felt the change
and will stand ready to join all others in
the universal song Of giadness. And what
noble ally this to the cahse of political
freedom. With such an aid its march can
not fail 20 be on and on, till every son of
earth shall drink in rich fruition the sor-
row-quenching draughts of perfect liberty.
uappy usy, Wnen All appetites COntroIleu,
all passions subdued, all matter subjected
mind. all conquerable mind, shall live and
move the monarch of the world. Glor-
Ious consummation! Hail, reign of rea-
son, all hail!
And when the victory shall be complete
when there shall be neither a slave nor
drunkard on the earth-how proud the IT,
tie of that land which may truly claim to
be the birthplace and the cradle Of both
those revolutions that have ended in that
victory! How nobly distinguished that
people who shall have planted and nur-
tured to maturity both the political and
moral freedom of their species = President
lincoln.
