DEAR SIRS

DEAR SIRs:
Your letter. with the resolutions adopted by
the Ellsworth board of trade, January IA,
touching the request for an appropriation to
dredgc and improve the Union river, was duly
received and have been looking over the old
appropriation and the reports of the depart
mept, and have been in consultation with the
engineer office since.
The frat barrier in the way is in the fact that
there will be no river and harbor bill till the
next Congress, so that nothing can be done at
present But there will be great difficulty in

In that bill l got good appropriation for
Bar Harbor, Bagaduce river, Belfast harbor

preliminary steps for the Improvement of your

bill before Congress. An attempt was made
to order a survey by unanimous consent in the
House a few days since and failed.

an order for survey before the next Congress

declares this means, in simple English,
a qualification for the privilege of the

COAL FROM THE LUNGS.
Several Tons of It Breathed Out In
Lifetime.

Several Tons of It Breathed Out In
Lifetime.
We breathe oxygen in, and coal out. Ex.
periInents show that eight ounces Troy OF
solid carbon are given off by pair of human
lungs every "a hours. That would be 61s
tons in Life of 70 years. What would that
amount of carbon be worth in the form OF
diamond? A diamond is pure carbon.
The price of diamonds concerns very few
people, but the condition of the lungs is q
matter of supreme Importance in this season
of changing weather. Unless the lungs be
strong they cannot expel the carbon. A cold
attacking them directly weakens them.
Any depression, though 1t seems to affect
only one organ, must be overcome by bracing
the whole body. For this purpose the doctors
prescribe stimulants.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is highly priced
by the medical profession, because it rouses
the latent energy of the body, creates keen
appetite and is invigorating and nerve-sooth-
ing. If the use of it were followed by an in.
furious reaction, the doctors would not COM
mend it. The fact is, that Dufy's Pure Malt
Whisky stimulates the organs to do their
work properly, SO that all ground gained Is
held.
Hence, it is a standard medicine: house

useful in the spring to fight those obstinate

No Mustaches at Coutts.

This is the rule at the well-known
banking house of Messrs. Coutts & Co., SO
Strand. None Of the bank clerks wear
mustaches, and it has long been consid
cred point of business etiquette that all
the gentlemen employed at the bank
shonld wear frock coats during business
hours. clerkship at Coutts is consid-
cred one of the prizes in the banking pro-
fesslon. Some OF the men are university
graduates, many of them have been edu-
Gated at one of the great public schools,
while several have been called to the
English bar. Some years ago an at
tempt was made to have the unwritten
law regarding mustaches rescinded, but
it was found that greater number pre-
ferred the old custom to remain in force
than were in favor of it's abolition. This
curious custom is also said to prevail in
some of the large tea houses in the city,
while it is known that some Church Of
England Bishops prefer the curates under
their charge to be smooth -faced.-Tid-

WHAT WAS THE VALLEY THEN {.

'sWhat was the Sacramento Valley
when Marshall discovered gold ?' This
is question asked by hydraulic min
ing journal. The answer is that the
valley was paradise. The rivers ran
clear, deep and uncontaminated. Great
ships could ascend them; all manner Of
desirable fishes sported and bred in them.
You went down from the plain then, far
down the river bank. to reach the pellu-
cid stream. Now you 60 up from the
plain to reach the muddy currents flow
ing on ridges far above the land level:
currents in which fish life is possible to
only the few of the 1inny tribes. The
mountains did not then come down to
the sea by way of the valley impelled by
the monitor and the pipe. The bottom
lands were not covered with sand and
slickens, no levees were necessary to Off
set the improvement of the hydraulic
art upon nature. The earth yielded to the
law of nature and grasses waved in rich
ness for the feeding of the herds without
rising through sea of muddy back
water The hills were clad and their soil
protected by foliage aud roots so that the
earth fed the tributaries of the river
slowly and naturally; the fanks of the
mountains were not Scared and dis
figured and made desert slopes by the
ripping up of the earth. Yes, indeed, let
US compare the Sacramento Valley as it
is, with the damning agency of the hy-
draulic monitor between the two periods,
and find the cause of desolation, ruin,
levees, overflow. slickens. sand, gravel
and mud in the filed rivers, their beds
far above the plains lands on either side.
And, by the way. Marshall did not go
into the hills to mine. He was not
searching for gold, but preparing for the
arts of agriculture and civilization.

She Checked the Twins.

A woman, carrying babe in her arm,
stepped up to the ticket window at the
lin-street station and asked for a
ticket to Scranton. She then went to the
baggage-room and had her baby carriage
checked. Shortly afterward the train
came along and the woman boarded 1t.
When the baggage-master was about to
place the carriage in the Car he thought it
was rather weighty, and in raising the
cover discovered that it contained three
months-old twins. both fast asleep.
The train was about to start, when Con-
ductor Misslmer was told of the circum-
stances, and the woman was called out
and the train proceeded. She was told
that the company could not check babies.
The woman came from the lower section
of Reading, and. after having the time OF
her ticket renewed, she left the station
and finally got away on later train.-

A SCHOLARLY and observant contsmpo-
rary says that any attempt to discuss the
doctrines of radical socialism and apply
them to our civilization results in their
rejection by the sober good sense of prac-
tical Americans. Good. The best way
to defeat the chimeras of radical socialism
is to exploit them fully. open wide the
doors of debate and let in the sunlight OF
publicity and reason upon them. Let the
socialists expound their doctrines freely
and they will defeat themselves. There
are certain doctrines of the socialists
which they claim as fundamental, that
we have adopted, but the truth is that
they did not originate with the socialists,
and are the result Of the experience of the
ages. They no more constitute proof OF
the truth and practicability of the State
monopolization of ideas Of the radical
schools of socialists than is the acceptance
of the laws of gravitation by scientists
proof that they originated them.

Says the Nevada City Transcript: "When

an inland sea.
