Paris. Oxford county. is all by the ears

have been made by New London capitalists
to induce Gen. Hyde to move to that city.
The handsome steel passenger steamer,

surely change the luck and not improve the

Those who lost their lives in the rec mt
fire at Levi ston may prove martyrs in the
cause of fire escapes. Whether buildings
are to be provided with proper fire escapes
in accordance with law is question only of
the expenditure of a few dollars. Never
theless it seems TO require holocaust to
convince people that the law is proper and
must be enforced. That horrible accident
in Lewiston ought to be sufficient warning
for the whole State.

cO-education. IL is said the Maine exhibit
| which attracted the most favorable comment
| at Chicago was the group pictures of Lew

No sooner has this statement gone forth
| than the gallant editor hastens to say that
the pictures were not SO beautiful as the

A Unity lyceum recently debated tn
question, "Resolved that liberal education
IS better for young man starting in life at
the age of q years than $4,000 capital,
and by big mai ority decided it in favor of
the cash. Had such a question been de-
bated in the country lyceum 80 years ago it
is doubtful if the cash would have received
50 big majority. Perhaps people now that
they can get the liberal education more
| readily appreciate it less.
Portland is congratulatiug itself on the
promise that more of the big ocean steam
ers will have winter port there than ever
before.
