PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Love never loses by being tested.
Bees in the bonnet never make
honey.
Peace dies the moment eevy shows
its head.
1t is only the truth we obey that can
do us good.
The religion that is used for cloak
has no warmth in it.
1t is never hard to find people who
want to play first fiddle.
The world will always listen to the
man who makes 1t think.
Character is what we are when we
think we are not watched.
Every time a stingy man looks at a
dollar it shrinks his heart.
A lie is always an enemy, no matter
how well-meaning it may look.
The man who rides hobby always
wants the whole road for himself.
A boys idea Of having fun is to be
allowed to make all the noise he can.
Our zeal will not attract any atten-
ton above until our motive power is
love.
1t is hard to make thief believe
that there is au honest man in the
world.
No man can name his children with
out telling the world something about
himself.
Nothing hurts us like disinterested
kindness, when we know that we do
not desei We it.
If men were as ungallant during
courtship ss they are after marriage,
1t is doubtful if more than one in ten
thousand could ever get a wife,

On q Big Steamship in Port.

An invitation to lunch or dine on
board big ocean steamer when she
is in port is rarely refused. There is
a novelty about the great ships soli-
tary decks, saloons and lounging and
smoking rooms that is mighty fetch
ing, and the opportunity to become a
privileged guest isn't to be had every
day. In all sea novels as soon as the
ship ties up and the captain has seen
its owner he strikes the bee line for
his own snug cottage and little wife,
and doesn't appear till the vessel is
ready to sail again. In reality the
captain and officers of an ocean racer
are rarely buster than during the week
they are forced to remain III port.
The ships doctor is the man with
the best chance 20 get away, and
unless there is sickness among the
crew he picks up his hat and doesn't
come back until the next sailing day.
The rest of the official staff has to put
in some hard work during the stay.
Every one rises about the same time
as usual. The officers all mess to-
gether when in port. The mates have
to get out and emphatically earn their
wages. The unloading is under the
mates eyes, and two Of them see to
the checking of every piece of freight
that has been put aboard on the other
side. With such vessel as the Teu.
tonic that is no boys task, and no
sooner is the hold emptied than an
other gang of men, under the direc-
ton of mate, begins to pile in other
freight.
Then the mates have the logs TO
write up and see that the ship has a
thorough cleaning from crows nest to
steerage. and the seven or six days of
what most people suppose is liberty is
slavery to duty.
The business man of all is the
purser. In the first 4S hours out and
the last "a hours before land is made a
purser has more responsibility than
work, but at other times he is on the
jump. He and the steward have to
victual the ship, and to perform that
operation for the Teutonic, which
often carries over 2000 people. does
not permit a man to be lazy. Supplies
for crew and passengers, hundreds of
letters concerning special accommoda-
tions months ahead, as many more
about table seats, clearing the vessel,
all the details of the big ship come di-
rectly unSer the purser's eye. The
ships books have to be kept, and
when the purser gets chance to run
uptown TO dinner with some friend he
is In vein to enjoy it.-[New York

COL. SILLOWAYE SPEAKS.
What a Colonel Of Gen.
. McClellan's Staff Says.
He Saved, President Lincoln From
Capture.
He Was the Preserver Also of John
Jacob Aston

Col. William A. II. Sillowaye is go years
old. He resides at Bellows Falls, VT, and
is connected with the Bellows Falls Times.
He has something of the most vital inter-
est to say to his fellow soldiers of the e.
A. r. and to his fellow men the world
over.
In 'Rifle Shots and Bullet Shells there
can be found sketch of Col. Sillowaye,
wherein it is shown that he indirectly
saved the Union, when, in 1858, he pre-
vented the capture of Lincoln by the
Confederates. He also saved John Jacob
Astor from similar fate in 1862, in the
Peninsular campaign. Col. Sillowaye
served four years and eight months in
the army and navy during the war, and
from April 1861, to February, 1858, he
served his country without pay or re-
ward of any kind.
He knew all the Union generals and
Secretary Stanton and Mr.. Welles. He
was lieutenant-colonel on Gen. McClel-
lan's staff in 1862. Coll Sillowaye is a
practical printer, engineer and linguist
He has set up works in Greek, French,
Spanish, Latin and Hebrew. He was
employed during five years at Oxford,
Eng, on Homan's Greek bible, and there,
in 1859, the degree of LII. D. was con-
daughter of Sir William Blackie and
neice of Sir Richard Honghton. His
present wife is a relative of Hon. William
NJ Evarts, and very gifted lady.
Col. Sillowaye is very modest man.

A Novel Fishing Rig.


II. j. WEIGH, genius of Natural
Bridge, Northern New York, has invent
ed a fish hook which he claims will catch
more fish than any other hook ever used.
BY means of a transparent tube or recep-
tacle, live bait, including minnows, crabs,
frogs, angle worms, shrimp or the like,
while presented in magnifed form to
the fish desired to be caught, is safe from
injury by being bitten. There being a
circulation of water through the tube the
bait is kept alive for an indefinite period
of time, SO that one bait is good for a
days fishing. The device is to be ex-
hibited at the Worlds Fair. The glass
tube is so arranged as to magnify the
minnow.

The Ward Lines.

When the proposed ward lines were
first published the Portland Advertiser
thought they seemed very fair. That
paper says in it's issue OF yesterday:
The total amount of the figures given
in the proposed division reaches within
fifty of the actual voting list. These
fifty are scattered through the various
wards and would not materially change
the figures. 1t is not an easy matter to
get the exact figures under the new d.
vision now, on account of the way in
which the division is made. there being
stray houses and stray voters that would
be inadvertently left out. The amount,
however. as given, is beyond any ques-
ton sufficiently certain to show that the
proposed division is not an equitable.
fair or suitable division to be made, and
that it is made entirely for political pur-
poses.
