coLcHIs MINING COMPANY.
A Suit for Over $4,000 Entered "Neither
Party"

The Colchis Mining Company is cor
poration organized under the laws OF
Maine Its stockholders reside for the
most part in New York. Mr.. Herbert
Parsons of that city was treasurer OF
the company from May 9, 1889. to Octo-
Der 80. 1890 The company's mines are
located in New Mexico. A suit was
brought against Parsons. who is Com
morant of Eden. in this state, the COM
pany claiming that during the time he,
Parsons. was treasurer, he sold 4731
shares of stock of the corporation, of the
value of s23, 655, and that he paid into
the treasury of the company only $4,000,
and devoted the balance $50. 4S5, to his
own use, not turning that sum over to
his successor in Office, as he should have
done.
Parsons denies, on the other hand,
that any such amount of stock was ever
sold by him, or by his firm, and that on
ly small amount was sold by him, and
all moneys received for the sale of the
stock were duly accounted for. The case
came on in the Supreme Court before
Judge SJrout yesterday, but was dis
posed of by agreement of parties and en-
try of neither party made on the docket.
A. f. Moulton of Portland, with II. H..
Mather of Boston, represented the Col
CHS Mining Company, and Symonds,
Snow & Cook appeared for Parsons.

Quoted by person who, in consideration
of the payment of two dollars by each man.
had undertaken to provide them with their
passage ON Eosi on and work in the
Maine lumber woods. On the arrival Of the

of them seemed entirely disheartened and
at loss what to do. Some swore vengeance
on the alleged swindler, if they caught him,
others said they would be saistf if they
could get back to Boston, and started for
the City hall to apply for return tickets.

MISS TAYLoR's PLAN.
For Enabling Deaf and Dumb Scholars to
Learn Trades Success.

A few weeks ago, Miss Taylor, princi-
pal of the Portland School for the Deaf,
succeeded in placing most of the larger
pupils of the school in various manufac-
tories and shops, where they are now
learning trades outside of school hours.
The plan has been even more successful
than was anticipated. GouGy & Kent
write her that the young lad who came
into their establishment has proved SO
bright and intelligent they shall allow
him dollar week hereafter, although
it was understood no compensation was
to be expected. The scheme has attract
ed great attention in other states, and
the Desert Eagle published at the
Utah school for the deaf, believes in it
thoroughly.

Women ON the school Committee.

A movement to secure the election of
women to the school COMMITTEES has tax
en- definite shape in Ward 6, in the form
of petition addressed to the city clerk,
as provided for under the Australian
ballot law, requesting him to cause the
name of Augusta M. Hunt (Mrs. George
S. Hunt) to be printed upon the ballots
in Ward 6, as non-partisan nomination
for school committee from that ward.
The petition is headed by ex-Mayor
Francis Fessenden, and bears the sigma
lures of a number OF prominent voters
of Ward 6. To secure the printing of
the name upon the official ballot the
signatures of at least 25 residents of the
ward are needed, and without, doubt
these and many more if necessary, can
be readily obtained.

small islands and sunken rocks, through
which are two channels that only pilot

In this harbor the Wood bury rode Sc

while the tempest ragged outside. In the
sand of the beach, from 12 to Is inches
below the surface are bushels and bush

mans hand, and with shell SO thin
that it can be broken in the fingers. A
man from the steamer went ashore and
dug a barrel and half of them in an
hours time. They ale excellent for
making chowders and frying and can be
cut up and cooked like SO much meat.

An Object Lesson.
Wilmington Star. !

There is good deal of discussion in
this country as to whether farming
pays, discussion which is confined to
no particular section. Whatever the
opinion may be on this subject and
while there is no one who will assert
that farming as calling pays, if we
look at it simply from standpoint OF
dollars, there is no question that farm
ing can be made to pay, but to make
it pay the farming must be done right
and done with the same intelligent ap-
plication and comprehension of the
conditions as must be shown by the
successful business man in any other
pursuit.
The farmer who does not study his
business and pursue it with intelligence
and industry has no more reason to
count on success than the merchant
has who keeps no run Of his BUSINESS
but buys at haphazard and sells withs
out regard to costs. Any and every
legitimate business to succeed must be
pursued with intelligent method
While this does not necessarily imply
that it will always succeed (for some
times the conditions may be such as to
be entirely beyond the control of the
most intelligent me,hods) success can
not be assured without it.

ton, "Where is the State of Matri-

"It is one of the United States; it is
bound on one side by hugging and
kissing, and cradles and babies ON the
other; its chief products are popula-
ton, broom sticks and staying out late
at night; it was discovered by Adam

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
[Harper's Weekly |

Whoever thinks that the Cotton
States and International Exposition at
Atlanta will be a mere copy of the
Chicago Worlds Fair in miniature is
as much in error as he who supposes it
to be a show designed to interest
Southerners alone The truth lies
midway between these two extremes.
Primarily, of course, the purpose Of the
management has been to cause the
Southern people to realize what they
Can and must do to keep abreast of
the great business world, and to show
Northern and foreign investors what a
mass of potential wealth is stored in the
South in natural resources which need
only capital and energy for their rapid
development; and incidentally to at
tract to Atlanta a multitude of out
slders who could be drawn by no ex-
position of narrow scope. To the lat
ter end, the cream of the Chicago
Fair has been skinned for Atlanta's S
use, and many new and striking fea-
lures have been add d. The visitor at
Chicago, if he attempted to do justice
to the tar of 1893, had to pick his
way through miles of exhibits which
did not especially interest him in order
to find some which did, and after
spending the whole six months in the
dilligent exercise OF all his faculties,
came away with sense of the stupen-
dousness and splendor of the show, and
the incapacity of enc human mind to
grasp it. At Atlanta it will be possible
for a intelligent visitor to give two
Of the exposition, and cover the ground
satisfactorily.
Yet the Atlanta Exposition is by no
means a small affair. Its projectors
claim fot it the honor of being next to
the largest worlds fair ever held. Its
site is a natural park about three miles
from the hear; of the city. From a
ridge which marks its outside boundary
the land slopes down toward a basin
in the centre, which is utilized for the
bed of an artificial lake. The amphi-
theatric topography of the grounds
lends itself readily to spectacular uses.
Fine sweeping vstas are obtained from
every point; and with the lake for a
scenic focus, arc fringe of forest
foliage skirting the fence for probably
two thirds Of the entire circumference,
nothing is left to be desired in the way
of broad landscape effects.

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
OF friend till he is dead?
II you see the hot tears falling
From brothers weeping eyes,
Share them and by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
If your work is made more easy
BY friencly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brayely and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for q word Of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you CO.
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
lie will make each seed to grow.
50 until its happy end
Your life shall never lack friend.
