servitude for eight years on conviction
Of extensive fraud in having obtained

PhillmOre on condition that she should
receive $4,000 of the profits Of an i'll

The gift of the old Longfellow man
sion to the Maine Historical society by
Mrs. Ann Longfellow Pierce, sister of
the poet, is worthy of the grateful APP
probation of the people of Portland.
Standing on Congress street next the
Preble House, and in locality which
business has long since claimed, the old
house seemed doomed sooner or later to
demolition or removal. The gift is no
small one. since the property stands on
the city assessors books at 1000, and
is probably worth much more. The con-
ditions of the gift are not at all onerous.
Mrs. Pierce only stipulates that the
house, shall be preserved in it's present
outward appearance and in it's location
next the street, that the two front rooms
shall be forever kept and known as the
'Longfellow Memorial Rooms,'' and
that suitable library hall shall be COM
menced six months after her death.
This house is the oldest brick structure
in Portland. 1t was built by General
Peleg Wadsworth, father-in-law of Ste
phen Longfellow, and grandfather of the
poet. Henry W. Longfellow was not
born in this house, but it was his early
home.

Capture of Gorilla. Nicaragua, by Boy
[Harper's WeeklY.l


Leading up to the gates of the fort
from the wharf was awinding road. Up
this road the young rebel and his men
marched, the boy leading off some twenty
feet in advance, and swinging his razor
like sword much as one would walking
stick. l could hardly believe my eyes,
Here was mere boy with only hand
full OF men marching straight up to the
gates of the strongest fort in Nicaragua.
Instinctively found myself on the dock
and following them. My arms consisted
simply of revolver, and I doubt if in
the excitement realized that might
have occasion to use it. To look at that
body Of men swinging along up the road
way in splendid unison, one would have
fancied that it was merely reconnoit-
ring party in from tramp. Surely, I
said to myself, their real character will
be discovered before they reach the
gates. They never possibly can deceive
the guard.
AT this moment the great, ponderous
gates opened, and an officer, the officer
Of the day, stepped out. He had evil
IDENTIFY just sprung out of bed for there
was half-yawn around his mouth as he
made his appearance. The sentry had
told him that reinforcements were com
ing up the road, This was good news.
1t would mean lighter duty at the post
and more companionship. All this
doubtless passed through the mind of
the officer of the day as he stepped out to
greet the commander of the reinforcing
party. AS for the thought of caution, It
had not entered his mind. The rebels he
had heard of, but had not seen. He
doubted fany really existed; and if they
did, they were hundreds of miles from
Gorilla, while, besides, these men COM
ing up the roadside were dressed as reg

Where are you fromp' he advanced some
twenty feet beyond the gates.
Inside the gateway the guard was
drawn up, prepared to receive the new
arrival. The CHEEKY hail Of the officer Of
the fort received an indistinct reply from
the young Spaniard. In another moment
the two were but few feet apart. re-
call at that instant whirl of steel in the
air, sharp agonizing cry, and the next
instant the body of the officer of the fort
lay writing on the ground. Without SO
much as look at the man he had cut
down in his track, the young Spaniard,
with the bound of panther, sprang into
the open doorway, and quicker than it
can be told he had cut down two soldiers

One of the most interesting of recent
government reports has just been issued.
1t treats of the fluctuations of wholesale
prices and of wages in this country since
1910. The work has been done by Pro-
lessor Roland P. Falkner, Statistician Of
the United States Senate Committee on
Finance; and is believed to be very com
plete and accurate. In determining the
range of prices over two hundred arti-
Giles such as are used in the life of the
ordinary man, as food, clothing, fuel,
metals and implements, drugs and chem
Gals, house furnishings, etc., were taken
and followed carefully through their
fluctuations in price for as many
yeas as possible, Of only IS articles
could the prices in 1910 be determined,
The comparison showed that in 1891
prices We're on the average rs per cent
lower than in 1860. Using the prices of
1850 as the base line, and calling it one
hundred, the report gives the following
course of prices through the years of
commercial activity and depression and
fluctuations in currency:

influence in the south, is more insulting,
speaking of the pensioners las the 'beg-
gars in blue" and even goes so far as to
declare that the oath of allegiance, which
the southern people took after the close
OF the wal, was taken under stress and
ought not to be binding. 1t should be
borne in mind that these complaints are
not directed against some pensions which
are claimed to be fraudulent, but against
the whole system. And the system is
opposed because the South, which en-
deavored to destroy the government,
fancies itself taxed heavily to pay one of
the first obligations of that government.
But it may be said without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that the Union vet
Grams who are now receiving pensions
have been the means of securing to the
South hundreds of dollars for every
one dollar that the South con-
tributes towards the pensions. When
the veterans marched south as recruits
in 1861 they found country ground
down by one of the most stupendous
economic burdens ever borne by people
The country was feeding three million
slaves that barely produced enough to
clothe and feed themselves. What little
margin of profit there may have been
was absorbed by about 800, 900 aristocrats
who lived in luxury and idleness. The
three million or more whites who could
OBTAIN no part of the profits of slavery,
were without education, ambition, hope
or even labor. Paralyzed by the incubus
of slavery the muscle and mind power of
one of the noblest races that ever lived
wasted itself away for hundreds Of years.
OF what that race Of poor white men was
capable when aroused, the valor and
tireless activity of the confederate in
fantry told on many famous field of the
war. The Northern soldier was fighting
the battle both for himself and for his
brother in gray lin the opposite ranks.
Slavery was destroyed, and now even the
Charleston News and Courier has for
mally and deliberately declared that
in twenty-five years of freedom the South
has done what she never could have
done in many decades of slavery, in the
way of producing material wealth.
Without the Northern veteran she would
not now be in the position of prosperity
which she occupies; and her newspapers
ought to remember it enough to be de-
cent in their utterances.

The bitter attacks of the Southern
papers on the Union veterans who are
receiving pensions are not only unwise
politically: but are unjust and uncalled
for. The Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial
complains that the South has been
drained year after year to feed the
pension cormorant'' and that the South
has played the part of the sheep before
the shearer long enough. A paper called
the Globe, published in Durham, N. G.
taunts the Grand Army with being the
"fence used by military burglars to rob
the government" And the Charleston
News and Courier, a large paper OF much

At last the drought has broken, and
the Hon. Darius Fl. Ingraham, happiest
of all the Maine Democrats, has been
recognized substantially. The consul
generalship at Halifax, which the Presi-
dent bestowed upon Mr.. Ingraham yes
terday, pays $500 year, and is so near
Portland that Mr.. Ingraham need not
feel that he is on foreign shore. Mr..
Cleveland's selection is much more for
tunate than it was four years ago, when
he replaced Hon. Wakefield G. FRYE
with lawyer from st. Louis, Mo. Mr.
Ingraham has been resident of Maine
all his life, and undoubtedly has there
fore special qualifications such as have
made Mr.. Frye SO acceptable an official.
On the score of fitness there is no posi-
BILE reason for replacing Mr.. Frye, and
every reason for retaining him. But
considered as reward for political work.
the Office is given to Mr.. Ingraham with
perfect fitness. The Democracy owed
him as much. When they were com
pletely discredited and disgraced last
spring he consented to remain their can
didate. Although he had no hand in
planning Or carrying out the Ward one
fraud, he inevitably incurred share Of
the odium which must have been both
distasteful and humiliating to him. He
can now soothe all such vexations on the
welcome Haligonian shore; and in the
stately etiquette of Halifax society forget
the throngs of ''heelers'' that made that
year in the mayors Office so long.

1t is probably true also that in most
mechanical pursuits the hours of labor
have been greatly reduced at the same
time that wages have gone up and the
cost of articles has gone down. But the
financial condition of people has not on
the average improved correspondingly,
for the reason that their wants have in
creased in as great ratio, certainly, as
the improvement in wages and prices.
