Iup0e pEERlNG,S PARTY

One Of the happy events OF the week
at South Paris was the birthday party
at Judge Deering's, the occasion being
his 18th birthday. The guests present
were John Black, Who Il N years old
and Is still hale and hearty, although
somew hat lame. Uncle John has served
the town IA tax collector for twenty-five
years, and has probably dealt with more
men than any man that ever lived In
town.
Another guest Was stephen Richard
sou who Il ~ and has lived In this VII
lage thirty years. lie has built up o
large trade In the hardware business
which Il now carried on by Richardson
4 Kenney. Uncle stephen comes down
To the store every day, and the younger
members Of the firm are glad TO seek his
wise counsel In matters Of business.
One year ago he made trip TO Minneap-
oplis to visit his son Charles, who Is In
business there.
Another was Levi z. Tucker, who l.
80 years old, has always been farmer,
aud has made money enough farming In
Oxford County so that his interest will
support him II he lives to ripe old age.
lie l. still able to take care Of his garden
and work out his highway tax on the
roads. The Judge calls on him every
pleasant day to ride out with him, and
says that he doesn't know what he shall
do for servant when Old Man Tucker
IL gone.
Another was Lewis Eastman who was
~. Uncle Eastman enjoys the distinction
Of being the oldest Odd Fellow In the
county, and perhaps In the state. lie has
worn the three links for forty.flve years,
and has been great worker In the
order. and has lived up to Its teachings
aud principles. lie Il q cabinet maker
and has had good property, but by
fire and dishonest partners he has lost
the most Of Of it. lie IL a constant at
tendant at the Congregationsllst church,
and walks nearly half mile to church
every Sunday.
Another L. Alvin Rice who IL 80. Mr..
Rice Is not bowed by old age, but looks
like man OF GJ. lie has lived In town
forty years, has been farmer aud cabi-
net maker, aud has accumulated good
property. lie lives near neighbor to
the Judge, and not many days pass that
they do not see each other and crack
their Jokes and tell stories.
Last but not leas, Was Captain Joseph
Woodbury., who Was the Oldest Of the
guests. lie will be 30 next January.
lie Was not q captain In the late war,
for he Was too old to 20 as q volunteer
to fight for Uncle Sam, but WAS . cap
tain Of merchant ship for thirty years
and sailed from Portland to the West
Indies. lie has been man Of great
strength, both Of body and character,
aud now stands erect six feet and two
Inches. lie walked from his home on
Stowell I'LL to the Judges aud back
and enjoyed his visit very much.
May they spend more such happy
days.

SOMETHING st SIDES SILVER.

The stopping Of silver purchases may
vet be the salvation of Colorado, not
withstsnding IL seems to Colorado peo-
pie at present more like her destruction.
IL Is beginning to force upon the minds
of the Colorado people the idea that
their state has other resources besides
her silver mines. The Colorado Sun
says:
Colorado cannot be killed by legisla-
ton. She has something else besides
silver and scenery. The eternal hills
are full of every metal known To man.
Her plains TEEN with grain and fruit,
her ranges thunder with the hoofs OF
cattle, her quarries produce every vsrie-
" Of stone. and her coal and oil fields
rival those Of PENNSYLVANIA.

The other day, q deer came out Of some
bushes beslde the road ahead Of him and,
crossing tho road and rallroed track ran
for the river, which was only Q short
distance. Reaching the river the animal
plunged Into the cold waters OF the
Penobscot aud SWAN rapidly until be
came TO the boom, where there was
quite large number Of logs. These
proved an impeachment TO progress In
swimming. The unusual and intercat-
Ing eight Of deer walking on logs In
the river was then witnessed 40 the anil
NAL succeeded In getting out Of the
water and on the logs. Only for an In
slant however, did he retain his equllib-
rum In his Imitation OF q river driver,
for the logs proved treacherous and the
animal WAS plunged Into the water
again. Each time but the last he strug-
gIed out and this performance was witt
messed for some tune by Mr.. Strickland,
who was an Interested observer. The
last he saw of the deer he was In the
water with his head barely striking
above the logs. The probability Il that
the animal was drowned.
westbrook was excited by an attempt
ed abduction on Monday night OF last
week. A young man by the name Of
Milton worthley, about a years Of age,
has worked In the mill Of the Haskell
silk Company for four or five years. He
conceived great Partially for Miss
Louise Dana, daughter of Woodbury. X.
Dana Of the banner mills. She did not
encourage him, and finally gave him dis
tlnctly to understand that there must be
no acquaintance between them. Monday
evening while Miss Dana was passing
an unoccupled shoe factory, she was
seized by worthley, who carried her 10.
to the basement, threatening to kill her
II she made any outcry. lie offered her
no violence, but tried to persuade her
to Zee with him, punctuating his re-
marks by handling loaded revolver.
After three hours Interview, Miss
Dana persuaded worthley to let her 20,
promising to let him know her decisk
soon after. She got home as quickly as
and worthley was soon under
arrest, and IL now awaiting hearing.
He has been regarded a. something Of
crank, though always before he has been
considered harmless. The first OF the
summer he bought an old boat which le
to schooner yacht and fitted
up quite luxuriously. 1t Is thought he
planned to carry of In this yacht the
object of his affections.

A CENTURY oE alRIlSh DIALECT.

A CENTURY OF olRLlSH DIALECT.
The letters OF the excellent Miss
Helena Wells, written In 1904, "on Sub
jects Of Importance to the Happiness OF
Young Females" have long passed Into
the dusty regions of ancient libraries;
but when she added from her long ex-
perieuce rs a governess, "a few practi-
cal Lessons on the lmproprieties Of
Language and errors OF Pronunciation,
which frequently occur In common Con-
yersatiOn," she touched upon subject
Of perennial interest, still green after q
hundred years.
In looking over her lists of vulgar
errors It Il curious to find that the very
pecullarities we now associate with Mr..
Samuel Weller are among those from
which 1t was necessary to wean young
ladies of good family In London GEN.
fury ago. Their teacher warns them not
to say "weal' and "winegar," twill"
and aylndor'' and SWITCH" She begs
them on no account to be heard saying,
"lll-conwenient," "h0wsever," hisself,"
"afieard," or attacked She warns
them against ''nothink" and "handker-
cher" and "Lunnon." Other inelegan-
cles still heard freely In high circles In
England, and sometimes also In America
were the object Of sollcltude to this good
lady In l704. The omission OF the final
3 and of the preliminary b, the use Of
uwile" and sweat" and "be0ld" for
"while and "wheat" and "behold"-on
these Angllclsms the governesses Of q
century have, 1t would seem, labored In
vain. Other pecullarities, then visible
or audible, seem now to have disappear
ed. Does any one now say "nympth"
and "triumpth," Of which she also COM
plains? In some cases she simply re-
cords swing Of the pendulum, which
has since vibrated the other way. She
bids them, for instance, say "obleege"
for "oblige." Now this was the genteel
pronunciation Of the time, as we know,
for instance, by Goldsmlth's famous
couplet:
"Dreading cen fools; by natterers besieged;
And 80 obliging that he meier obliged"
Webster and Choate said "obleeged,"
but we do not now hear Il. Miss Wells
also affords an instance OF the fnal exit
of very obvious pronunciation based
on etymology, but now quite lost. She
tells her pupils that they must not say
"pinsfOre," but "plnbef0re." The rea-
son Is plain; "afore" was vulgarism.
But In this, as In many other cases, the
vulgarlsm has got the upper hand, and
euphony IL stronger than etymOlogy.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND
REPEAL.

The vote OF the senate on Senator
PETERS free coinage amendment to the
silver repeal bill furnishes as good test
as we are likely to get OF the attitude OF
the two parties on the money question.
The free coinage Of silver at this juno
ture would be vastly more dangerous
than the continuance Of the operations
of the Sherman law, and vote for free
coinage implies more unsoundness on
the money question than would vote
against the repeal OF the Sherman law.
Furthermore the prospect Of the adop-
ton Of PETERS amendment was so slight
that no one would be tempted to vote
for 1t In order to be on the winning side.
A vote for that amendment meant, there
fore, that the senator who cast II be-
lleyed In free coinage, and believed In 1t
80 strongly that he was ready to vote
for It In the face OF certain defeat.
OF the Democratic senator's who were
present and voting, twenty-one voted
for the PETER amendment, that Ii for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF q sixty
cent dollar, while eighteen voted against.
OF the Republican senators voting only
seven, all from the silver states, support
ed the amendment, while twenty-one
voted against 1t. 1t will be seen that II
the question had depended solely upon
the Democratic majority In the senate
free coinage would have been adopted as
substitute for the present Sherman
law. President Cleveland has won his
victory over his own party simply be.
cause the Republicans almost soiidly
supported him. without their aid he
would have been ignominiOusly defeat
cd.
When the Democrats boast, as they
soon will, that Democratic Senate has
repealed the Sherman law, point out to
them what Ia indlsputably the fact, that
II was the Republican vote OF that body
that really secured unconditional repeal,
that the Democratic vote would have
repealed It only OH condition that free
coinage measure was substituted for 1t
