The battleship Indiana, Launched last
week at Philadelphia, will be able to whip
her weight in wild cats or anything else.
Though smaller and with less speed than

likewise four 6-inch rifles, protected by five
inches of armor; IL G-pounder and four
1-pounder rapid-tire guns, behind two
inches of armor, and four Calling guns.
Besides these there is to be torpedo out

The lecture at the Unitarian church last
thursday evening, under the auspices Of the
hlngs Daughters, WAS one OF DR.. Phillips
best. and when We say that we pay it high
compliment. His theme WAS George William
Curtis. The speaker owned frankly and ac-
know lodged proudly that he came 10 speak OF
another OF his heroes. The Doctor said that il
Young man should ask him to cite an exam
pie, model As writer of pure English, II
style and beauty OF expression were wanted.
he should hesitate between Irving Hawthorne
and Curtis. II be said orator, he should hesi-
tate again among Beecher, Wendell Phillips
and Mr.. Curtis. II be said reformer, he
should hardly hesitate at all. but II be said give
me splendid model OF American citizenship,
be should point with both hands TO George Will
liam Curtis. The speaker held him forth as
among the best types OF American citizenship
that has graced our civilization for fifty years.
The Doctor traced the career OF Mr.. Curtis
during his journeyin in Europe, his instaa-
ton into the Easy Chair of Harper's Maya
zine and the excellent work be did there; he
pictured him a reformer and the herald of a
reformation among reformers. Men have sell
dom thought of Mr.. Curtis as fanatic. He
had no hate of men with hate OF wrong. He
never exaggerated the truth to make men see
the truth; he never overstated the wrong to
make men the wrong. He always stated
fairly the other side and then placed his own
irresistible logic against it with conscience and
truth thrown in. and the result was that the
other end usually XII, ked the beam. He aimed
always TO speak to the highest intelligence Of
any man. and never appealed TO passion, or
prejudice, or hate. He rested his whole case
as a reformer always on an appeal to reason
and conscience. not to feeling. not to exped-
ency. The professional politician hated him
with full measure. The Doctor closed by
speaking touchingly OF Mr.. Curtis death and
the great grief II has caused.
The above is not even an outline OF DR..
Phillips excellent address. We have limited
here and there at point he made and that is
all. We wish that every resident of the city
might have heard it. for it had that in it which
would have done him good. This was the first
lecture in the course to be given under the
auspices Of the Kings Daughters. Several
others will follow during the winter.

Old and Young.

We are clear that it is by no means the
special defect of our time that the old do
not enter heartily into the life of the
young, Comparing the present genera
ton with generations past. we should say
that one of the most distinctive notes of
the present day is the sympathy of the
old for the young-a sympathy which the
young generally and rather heartily ap-
preciate. hut which they do not very
often reciprocate. Instead of conversing
so as TO turn the back Of the conversa-
ton toward the old. they usually expect
and confidently expect that good deal
of its life and interest will be contributed
by the old and are rather scandalized if
the expectation be disappointed
In fact they habitually expect the old
to be Juvenile in their interests. and they
are very much schooner disappointed
than the young people of forty or fifty
wears ago. if they had formed the same
expectations (which they certainly did
not often do). would have been. Just as
the rich are row habitually expected land
very often Justify the expectation to find
their deepest interest in alternating the
condition Of the poor. so the old are now
habitually expected to find their deepest
interest in rendering the pursuits and
pleasures of the young still more attract
i've: nor do they very often disappoint ex-
pectation. London Spectator.

DEAR SIR have seen in several pa
pers lately items in regard to an electric
railroad from the Falls TO tide waters, via

talked 1t lately on all occasions and think
now, II the people of Ellsworth. that is,
the business men Of Ellsworth, would en-
thuse on 1t that it would be the time that
1t could be put through.
met two gentlemen in Bath yesterday
who wanted to know what about this cleo
trio road that they had seen talked Of in
the papers. One Of them saw your item
and the other saw it in a Boston paper. |
told them what knew Of it and they said
they would subscib Sl0.000 to the stock
and knew they could place slo.0 more.
They were responsible men and mean bus
mess think If you would stir the mat
ter some more through your paper by
printing an item IN regard to increasing
the business facilities of Ellsworth, 1t
would start the ball going again. I read
an item in paper last night saying an
electric road would place Ellsworth in the
line with deep water cities where she could
take the advantage Of competition on
freight for her products and manufactures.

Distributing Time Tables.

1t Is fact not generally known that
the furnishing OF railroad time tables to
the hotels OF the city is performed by
regularly incorporated company, who
make that work their sole occupation.
Something had to be done to correct
the evil OF having old time tables in
the courtroom and porters' closets Of the
hotels which gave nothing but misin-
formation to the traveller, II indeed he
could fnd any time table at all, and so
the general passenger agent of one of the
trunk line roads hit upon the scheme Of
forming time table supply company.

Hadn't Thought of 1t in That Light.
A lady who has recently returned from
travelling in Europe tells of wise man
whom she met, who seems to have been
a cousin of the famous wise men of
Gotham who put fence around bush
to keep in the nightingale who was sing
ing there.
She was going northward to visit
North Cape and to see the midnight sun.
On the steamer she made the acquaint-
ance of an elderly gentleman who said
that he was travelling simply for pleas
ure and the improvement of his mind
and who seemed to be person of much
learning. She was especially struck with
his knowledge Of astronomy, and they
talked on this subject good deal
You must have given great deal Of
attention to the study of the stars" she
said to him one day.
"Oh, yes" he answered, II have been
interested in the subject for years, and
have made it one of my chief occupa-
tons as well as pleasures. 1t is really
because of my love for astronomy that !
decided to take this trip"
'How was that!" she asked.
1T occurred to me-" he said, THAT SO
far north as we are going the constella-
tions must be seen to greater advantage
than they are farther south. The air Is
clearer, and the northern stars of course
can be seen much better"
But. my dear sir" she said, some
what astonished, 81 do not see how you
expect to study the stars to advantage
by daylight. and what we are going to
see is the sun at the time when it does
not set at all"
An expression of establishment and dis
may came over the face of the wise man.
II don't see how can have been SO
stupid" he exclaimed, "but really l
never thought Of that until this mo-
