Maine Flora.

Mr.. Merritt l.. Fernald at a recent meet
ing of the Natural History Society at Port
land, called attention to the remarkable
distribution of plants in Maine, in counties,
or groups of counties or belts of territory.

to the striking appearance within our State
limits Of plants, we'll established and abun-
dant, whose only other indigenous habitat
is far to the west or south of New EGG
land.
The more familiar plants of Maine, such
rosa, white violet, choke cherry, blue flag.
etc., are equally abundant at Kittery and
Madawaska, but the greater proportion of
our plants are much restricted in their dis
tribution. In the southern coun-
ties h,ra is found quite new

of adjacent counties is continuation of

plants come no further than the Saco river,
others cease as we travel north and east

Franklin small group occurs, g nerally

most interesting ground for the close
observer of plants. An enormous district
in the northwesterly part of the State ha.
not been Investigated by any collector. The
work done by botanists in Maine during the
past two years has added nearly 30 plants
not before known to occur in the State,
several of them not before known as in
North America, and two or three entirely
new to science.

This is time Of great unrest all over
the civilized world, and we, OF the
commonwealth OF Johnson City, are
not exempt from our share OF troubles,
individually and collectively.
We need to reform the body polite
of our city. Can any one tell what
sense there is in dividing on political
lines in a municipal election? One
party will get into power, and too
often, by corrupt means, keep in power
to the detriment of the city's best in
terests, and good men at last have to
vote against their own party in order
to get good men in office
We should wake up TO q realization
OF the truth that it is not partyism, but
patriotism, we need
Whit has protection or free trade to
do With our municipal govern ment?
Dividing on party lines tends to
estrange neighhors and causes good
men, often, to vote for men they do
not want in Office How much better
it would be for all lovers OF good gov
ernment to unite in putting good men
in Office, and it can be done. When
bad mep get iR office the people have
themselves to blame for it. I cannot
yet believe the depraved and corrupt
are in the majority in this land of
christian civilization.
Then, at the proper time, let all
good citizens of all parties come to-
gether and select suitable men for the
Offices, regardless of party.
This article is not intended to reflect
on our present or past city govern
ments, but to warn us for the future

Chas L. Davis will occupy the Opera
House February 7 1894 with his ever
popular play alvin Joslln," which
has played with uniform success for
nearly sixteen years. Mr. Davis wrote
it to make people laugh, but it is more
than mere farce. The homely worth
and inherent honesty of the Vermont
farmer leaves an abiding impression
for the better after the laugh which
follows his quaint actions or speech
has subsidized.
Mr.. Davis as calvin Joslin" is OF
course all that could be desired and
his art attracts applause where friend
ship ceases to spur to such demonstra.
ton. The plot is simple in itself, but
has been elaborated. Alvin Joslin, a
Vermont farmer, and Edwin Milton
his nephew, New York broker, are
both married. A stepuncle of Mllton'a
and half uncle of Joslin's dies and
leaves much property. 1t is to 60 to
the nephew in case he don't marry
and if he does, to Joslin in case he
cont marry. Both attempt to conceal
their marriage and Alvin visits his
nephew in New York. There ht
meets all kinds of adventures and this
gives opportunity for the introduction
