The Unitarian Society of Hyde Park,
Mass, voted Monday evening to extend
a call to Rev. A.G. Pettingill, formerly
of Boothbay, to become its pastor.
Rev. H. Pope, pastor of the Congre-
garional church, Kennebunkport, has
been chosen superintendent of schools
for another year in that town.
In the reports of the appointments
made at the Methodist conference the

was by some accident omitted by all the
newspapers reports. The pulpit there is
to be supplied by Rev. Charles Jones,
son of Rev. William S. Jones of Pleasant

LINCOLN'S PHRASES.
Sumner Criticised His Speeches for Lack
of Dignity.

I have said that some of Lincoln's
more fastidious critics had objected to
certain of mis- otf-hand phrases which
readily took with the multitude, and
which more graphically conveyed his
meaning than those commonly used by
the scholars. Against advice he had, in
formal message to Congress, adhered
to the use of the phrase sugar coated
pill" He argued that the time would
probably never come when the American
people would not understand what a
sugar coated pill was; and on this his
toric occasion he used another favorite
figure of his when he said, "Concede
that the new government of Louisiana is
only to what it should be as the egg is
to the fowl, we shall sooner have the
fowl by Matching the egg than by smash
ing it," But it turned out that Senator
Sumner, for one, was no better pleased
with this metaphor than he had been
with Others on previous occasions; for
in letter to DR.. Lieber. of Philadelphia,
next day he wrote: "The Presidents
speech and other things augur confusion
and uncertainty in the future with hot
controversy. AlaS! alas!" And still later
in that year Sumner said: "The eggs of
crocodiles can produce only crocodiIes,
and it is not easy to see how eggs laid
by military power can be Matched into
an American State" Years have passed
since then, and the grave has long since
closed over. the President and the Sena-
tors who opposed his policy and his
judgment. posterity has vindicated the
wisdom of Lincoln, and has dealt eharit-
ably with the errors of those who in
their day lacked that charity which is
now entreated of mankind for them.
That they meant well, that they were
patriotic, that they were sincere, no man
can doubt; but an we turn our thoughts
backward to that April night when the
great President made his last public
speech to Il silent and wondering crowd,
we may we'll regard his figure with ven
Grafton and reverence, aware now, if we
were not then, that he builded better
than they knew.
In the general ju bilation of that hour
however, there was very liotle criticism
of the Presidents last public speech. 1t
was felt, perhaps. that the man who had
broughtau us safe through the great trial
of our strength and patience, himself
strong and patient, might well be trust
cd with the adjustment Of terms of re-
union. Reunion was then the foremost
thought in the minds OF men. Slavery
was dead, peace had returned, ana hence
forth the grateful task of reuniting the
long-estranged brotherhood of the States
was ours. Is it any wonder that men
fairly cried with joy when this happy
contamination rose in their minds? Bnt
even while we stood under the light OF
new day, joyable ar a people, triumph
ant as citizens, there was preparing for
US portentous and inconceivable dis

A BICYCLE VERSUS A RUNAWAY.
Last Friday woman drove down
Spring street alone with d single team
and got very near the Maine Central
track before she realized that the train
was approaching. She became alarmed
and jumped from her seat to the ground.
This frightened the horse. 1t ran down
the street, turned the corner at Chapman
q Wyman's drug store and started for
Portland along Deering street. Just then
Hubert Gilbert, young boy. not more
than 10 Years of age, and student at
the Westbrook Seminary, came along on
his bicycle. He started in pursuit of
the runaway. 1t was nip and tuck for
nearly half mile, but as the horse ap-
preached the brow of the hill that leads
down to the bridge near the Rochester
station, on Green street, the pace Of the
horse was slackened by the reins catch
ing in the wheel. The young bicycler
overlook the running horse, jumped from
his wheel. which fell in the gutter and
made grab for the reins. He was
thrown down, but held on and stopped
the horse.

Given Final Passage in

ST.. PAUL, March 2S.-The Jacobson
and Schurmeier prison labor bills were
the special order in the house Wednes-
day morning. A vote was reached dur
ing the afternoon and the Jacobson bill
Indefinitely postponed. The Schur-
meier bill, which had been Endorsed by
the labor unions Of the state but OPP
posed by the prison officials, was then
recommended for passage by vote OF
IS to 50. Both the bills provide for the
employment of the convicts under
either the "piece price, or estate ac-
count systems. It is in their provl-
sions for the number Of prisoners to be
employed at any one trade that they
differ, and it was this feature which
was rendered so prominent in the de-
bate. The Schurmeier bill limits the
number Of persons in any one industry
to 20 per cent of the number OF prison.

number is necessary to produce goods
to be supplied to state and munlcl pal
institutions; while in the Jacobson Dill
the number is not to exceed Is per cent
Of the number of persons employed IN
s1ch industry in the state"-a great dr.
ference. By the jacobson bill, II the
board of prison managers so decide, all
the convicts could be set to work at any
one employment, and the free labor
would suffer as consequence. Inc
bill passed by vote Of IS to l.
Before the bill was passed an amend
ment was adopted limiting the number
of convicts who may be employed IN
one industry to rs per cent OF those in
generated in the institution.

LOOKING TO GLADSTONE.

Rosebery's Health Such A. to Cause Con-
siderable Speculation.
LONDON, March 25.-The condition Of
the health of Lord Rosebery is not
changed, but there is no question that
he is seriously i'll, and that the compli-
cations of the political situation are
such as to deprive the premier of the
energy necessary to fight difficult and
delicate questions. Under these cir
cumstances it is not astonishing that
the widest rumors are circulated and
that many people are turning their
thoughts towards Mr.. Gladstone as
likely to be the man who will guide the
Liberals once more out of political
darkness and into the sunshine of poit-
ical harmony. Mr.. Gladstone is now
on his way to London.
