places we never heard of before. The
northern coast, too, in the region of the

region for lumber, especially for cedar
shingles. The stumpage, cost of driving
and all other charges are small enough to
make up for the differences in freight

Collector j. E. Moore of the Waldoboro
district reports considerable excitement
| in his district recently. A cargo of
molasses came in and there was actually
duty to assess on it. Most OF the articles
coming into that district are duty free,
like wood. of which the Rockland lime
quarries use much.
Mr.. Moore is about the only customs
collector in Maine whose appointment did
not fall among the Maine Democrats like
one of the wrathful thunderbolts of
Joye. Mr.. Moore held the position under
the other administration, and his APP
pointment was quite generally expected.
Talk of custom houses and collectors is
quite likely to bring up the surprise
Portland got when Collector John W.
Deering was appointed 81 know the
story of that said prominent politician
to the PRESS. Soon after election
Deering went on to Washington. APP
preaching the ones in aut hority he said:
Il suppose that in making the appoint
ment of collector of Portland you would
listen to the Democrat who ran for Con-
gress in that distict as well as to the
other fellows?'
&c oh, yes, we should certainly defer to
his Judgment, said the ones in authority.
9s'And if the candidate for Congress
backed some one earnestly that would
have great weight with you, wouldn't it,
proceeded Captain Deering.
g 1T certainly would was the reply.
:" We'll, am John W. Deering, the
candidate for Congress; and for the place
of collector, want to recommend-my
self, John W. Deering. !"

teen years we have built thous- ands of miles of railroads, and with but two exceptions, none Ot them have been in the hands of a receiver, and no reason on God s earth for one of these save from u sharp financiering standpoint often adopted by American spectators. The Mexican Government has of ten given large subsidies, and not withstanding the Lom bard and Wall Street brokers, who seem to run the American Government. they have slgnaiiy tailed to.cripple and demoraIize Mexico. Yes, sir. we have tree and unlimited coin age of silver, and it buys every thing we want in Mexico without inqniring what London and it's sis ter city, New York, is paying for silver. Mexico is prosperous un- der free coinage. We have no strikes, no corners on money or any merchandise. No trusts or syndicates controlling the people or the Government. The panic of 1893 in the United States was un- known in Mexico except through American visitors.

A Beautiful Thought.

Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennes- see, in his lecture on "Yislons and "Dreams," has given expression to a beautiful thought, doubtless an epitome of the experience of most public men, says the Texarkanian, and as the same may be valuable to aspiring youth, haunted by the song of the siren, am bition, and because it so aptly illustrates the emptiness of all earthly honors and wealth, we reproduce it. He says:
 When as mere boy on the tarm on the banks of the Watauga river I used to steal an hour oc- casonally, to sit under the syca- more trees and dream of the fu- ture. l thought if 1 could get off of the farm and into city and be lawyer, my cup of happiness would be full. I went to the city. learned few legal phrases, and my ambitions were to go into pol itics. My people sent me to Con gress, where I staid for two years with the great men of the country. My dreams were then to be Gov ernor of Tennessee, the greatest State of the Union. and 1 thought my happiness would be complete. For two terms the people of Tenn essee have honored me with that position of their chief executive. My ambitions have all been realiz- ed. 1 have mingled with the great and rich men of the country a,9 iasg- been on high pinnacles o3 i, 5: S:se'.r,;;,..sss.s,,s :.o ya: .fter careful review of the past, I sigh to sit me under the shadow of the old sycamore trees of the Watauga and live agaln the life of the farm CT boy. There alone is perfect peace, joy and contentment. I have no political ambition to satis- fy-my greatest desire is to get on a good farm, with my wife and children, and there pass the clos ing years of my life.
