To repudiate Gov. Rich and his
administration would be suicidal.
His denomination is demanded by
the honest people of the party; and
if it is not made it is because the
rank and file of the republicans have
been tricked out of the honest ex.
preston of their determination by
the wire pulling politicians of the
party.-Albion Recorder.

THE U. S. STEAMER LILAC.
How She Gets Pumped On the Rocks While
Placing Bouys-The Repair In Progress
Ga the Marine Railway;-A New Keel.

The United States steamer Lilac has been
on the Marine Railway for some time now.
She has been sthe buoy steamer on the
Maine coast for two years, and has TO come
out of water and be cleaned and painted
twice year involving an expense of $500.
But this time repairs were necessary. She
had been bumped on the rocks SO much,
while placing buoys in dangerous places
that new keel was necessary. The Lilac
is steel vessel, the plates being one-haIf
inch thick, and the deep wooden keel is
fastened to the iron keel by steel braces at
frequent intervals. Many of these had been
ripped off the keel by the contact with the
rocks. Besides the middle Keel there are
two shorter keels on the bilge. or swell. on
each side, which tend to prevent the rocks
from punching hole in the bottom. But
in case they did there are two bottoms, so
that the vessel would not fill. The space
between the two bottoms is filed with fresh
water, for use in the boiler.
The steel skin of this vessel is SO thin that
she cannot be shored up on the railway, as
wooden vessels are. Tho end of the shore
would punch hole through her. She has
to be blocked up. The repairs this time
will cost about $500.
The Lilac's bottom is denied. like an
old kettles as one man says. The fact
is. she is not just the right kind of boat for
her dangerous work of caring for the buoys.
Captain johnson says it is was stated, that
heswould want boat thirty-three feet beam
and drawing but seven feet of water. with
wooden hull and two propellers and two
engines, SO that she could be turned around
in very small space. But the Lilac is mar
row and draws thirteen feet.

that of the country farmer who brings
his produce to the city, and with a small
quantity of eggs in a pail or basket offer
them for sale at private houses for 70 or

that fresh eggs are now 20 and 80 cents
a dozen, and that the price of eggs is
going up. take. advantage OF the sup

eggs to be fresh, of course, and himself

SWEDEN AND THE sWEDEs.
Ex-Minister Thomas Warmly Welcomed in
Bangor.

The Bangor Wing says that 1.-THE first
lecture in toe Central club of that city was
given Monday evening by that prime favor
lite of lecture loving Bangorians. Hon. W.
W. Thomas, Jr., our late minister to
Sweden. who spoke upon subject That
always calls out the best efforts of his
clear, well stored brain. united to elocutlon-
airy gifts of ashgh order:-s. Sweden and the
Swedes.''
MI. Thomas began with geographical
description of Sweden. peninsula three
times the size of Italy. face to face with
Greenland in altitude, and close too the
North pole. So short are the seasons that
the Swedish farmer has much ado to
harvest even his hay, which has to be dried
upon kind of scaffolding. where the wind
may supplement the inefficient warmth of
the sun. Not blade of Indian corn can
ripen and the natives are forced to depend
entirely uponseheir crop of rye for bread
stuff. Even this fails sometimes, and the
hardy peasant contents himself with bread
of ground bark. No wonder that in the
olIen times, when Sweden was struggling
to throw off the hated yoke of Denmark,
Danish general, who had penetrated into
the sterile province of Dalecarlia, should
exclaim in angry establishment: "A people
who can eat wood, and drink water, even
the devil himself could not subdue." Nh.
Thomas spoke of the kindness and cheer
ness of the people who, lons dreary months
of cold .and darkness cannot aft ect. He
told how faithfully holidays are oberved in
that country,~by rich and poor alike, of the
country's wealth in iron and lumber, of the
attention shown him by the king. and
closed with glowing tribute to Ericsson,
the inventor.
