A Pair of Blue Eyes, (the latest in the
handsome issue by the Harpers of
Thomas Hardy's novels. and to be found
on the counters Of Loring, Short & Har-
mon), is in sense autobiographic. By
this we do not mean to say that the
owner of the eyes aforesaid, Elfrida
Swancourt, ''the fair vestal throned in
the West" was flesh and blood
woman, nor that Stephen Smith is a
portrait of the author. What we endeavor
to say is this. Hardy himself, educated
to be an architect-though he forsook the
pursuit for the less substantial art of
story writing-has in this volume
revelled in his love of building. There is
all through it, sometimes consciously and
sometimes unconsciously, display of the
thing which he so loves He cannot pass
by hut without mentioning its beams
and the inclined posts which form it's
doorway and the curved rafters which
roof it. Nobody but an architect could
write A Pair of Blue Eyes-and no arohi-
tect unless he had genius for the print
ed word.

Harpers afford us the opportunity to do,

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

A nephew of W. P. Damon of West
Auburn, the we'll known Indian relic
hunter, was up at Little Wilson pond in
Turner a few days,ago. and in throwing
some rocks he picked up one that felt
particularly smooth. Upon examination
it proved to be an Indian gouge, and is q
very valuable relic. It is the only Indian
relic in the State of Maine that is known
of, which has notches in it. This gouge
has seven well defined notches in it. and
according to all Indian traditions and
customs represents seven scalps taken.

Will Use the Milford Grade.

Will Carlson, the live Mayor of San
Diego has been working hard for a
long time for another through line for
that place. He has just returned
from New York, whittier he went
with @. P. Huntington, and the dis
patches report that the Southern Pa
cific will now undertake the con
struction of another route in order to
break the hold which the Santa Fe
has IN Southern California. The
grade between here and Milford is to
be utilized. This is the third distinct
proposition for a through road which
has been mentioned within the past
six months, and one at least of them
should carry. If the Southern Pa.
citic Co., becomes interested, the work
may begin at any time. The ahan-
donment of work here on the u. p,
grade in 80 was said to be due to
claims made by the S. P, folks, that
west of Utah was their territory and
under existing agreements the Union
Pacific company could not invade it.

Intrinsic Value.

The theory that gold has an inner
ent, intrinsic value Which remains
forever the same, immutable and ever
lasting, is a delusion which should
have no weight with any thinking
man. Why should gold alone, Of all
the substances on the earth be unaf-
fected by the law of supply and de-
mand. If a shipload of men were
cast away on a desert island and
found a thousand tons of yellow met
al but no food, would they not gladly
give a ton for one box of bread? Sup,
pose they found the sand was all gold
but there was one little patch o;earth
where they could raise a garden,
would not that little patch be of more
value to them than all the rest of the
island. The gold wonld be a @drug
on the market" no one could use it
and no n would want it.
The price Of goldis no more intrin-
sic and no more permanent than any
other value, except as the demand for
1t Is steady. The coinage value set
upon the metal by the governments
of the world gives a steady demand
at a fixed price. The same set of cir
cumstances would C in the same
way for silver. 1t is silly and futile
to deny it.
Some goidites admit that remoneti-
zation would CAUSE some rise in
value" but they deny that silver
would have this wonderful intrinsic
property and preserve its value I'M.
changed without fluctuations, as they
say gold does. At least such is the
argument of some gold men. Others
claim--and here is an inconsistency
very characteristic of the gold sophist
that mo amount OF legislation in It's
favor could change the value of silver
n iota." The ignorance which pro.
notes such statements as this must
be wilful ignorance, 1t comes from
men who have every chance to know
better.-"arm, Field and Fireside. -.

ARTILLERY OFFICERS.

The present efficiency and high stand
ard of the battalion OF artillery is large
iy due to the untiring efforts of it's
officers, who have not hesitated in
drawing on their private resources
when the allowance formerly made by
the state was wholly inadequate to the
needs of the organiza ton. Elias D.
Libbey, major commanding the First
battalion Of mounted troops, NJ. N. c.,
was born at Stockton, Me-, on the
18th day of June, 1874. On March 4.
1862, he enlisted in the United States
army as volunteer, was commits
stoned second lieutenant of the Sixth
battery Maine light artillery on Jan.
II, 1865, and was honorably discharged
on June II, 1865. after a service of
three years and four months in the
War of the Rebellion. On March 8,
1883, he was commissioned aide-de-
camp on Gov. McGilTs staff with rank
of captain; and was elected and COM

A Pleasant Trip.

Pine City is probably one of the
prettiest spots in Minnesota; it is al
most surrounded by water and is in.
the heart of a dense pine forest. The
waters of the Snake River, Cross and
Pokegama Lakes are well stocked with
small-mouth bass, pike, croppies, perch
and pickerel, and offer the angler a
very extensive territory over which to
fish.
The Snake River, which connects
both lakes, is navigable for several,
miles above the town. Capt. A. E.
Weber has recently launched his.
steamer, the "Stowe," to ply between
Pine City and the head of -Pokegama.
Lake, offering visitors a most delight.

The st. Paul & Duluth Railroad sells
round trip tickets to Pine City, includ-
ing a steamer trip up Snake River and

$3.15.
The hotel recommendations are ex-
cellent and the charges reasonable.
Tourists and sportsmen cannot make
more enjoyable trip than to Pine

PARESIS is SPREADING.
There Is Said to Be an Alarming.
Increase in the Disease.


A recent statement of Mr.. Howells,
made with an assurance that carries
the belief of the author that the human
race was never so healthy and strong
as at present, has caught the eye of the
medical fraternity, and, some of its
members are not slow to combat the
assertion, says the New York Herald.
One very pertinent example cited to
uphold the opposite view of the situa-
alton, and which viii have as great
an interest to the lay as the profess
sional mind, is the alarming increase
in one very deadly disease of the pres
ent times, which has been brought into
exceeding notoriety through the prom
inence of many of its victims-paresis.
Whatever may be said of the increase
of paresis throughout the world is of
double moment to this city and local
ity, for the reason that New York is
a "hotbed' of the disease, the storm
center, whose rushing existence is a
barometer to the business activity else
where in this country. Authorities say
there are twice as many victims of
paresis in this city and state as in the
entire remainder of the country. The
spread of the dread disease is, then, of
especial interest to this city.
In a single asylum of this state, FOR
example, that at Ogdensburg, there
were among the $50 admissions 81 cases
of general paresis. This would make

Notwithstanding her fifty-odd years, as
much of a girl as she was more than
thirty years ago, and off the stage she
looks like an exceedingly well-pre-

solved the mystery, and utilities her
discovery with charming results.

One of the most interesting feat
ures of the annual encampment of

is the presence of the First bat
talon of artillery. With their red
plumes floating to the breeze, mount
ed on spirited horses, or seated on
their well polished pieces, the ar
tillery boys present a striking APP
pearance in the field, and never fail
to attract an enthusiastic crowd to
their parade and reviews. The bat
talon will enter into camp tomorrow
under most favorable circumstances;
they are now thoroughly drilled and
equipped, and ready to take the field
on very short notice. Their efficiency
would, however, be greatly increased
if they were provided with modern
breach-loading guns. In this con-
nection it will be interesting to know
how this most essential branch of
the service was first introduced in
our state.

As matter of fact, the number is
much greater, because the proportion

in those of the state at large. But even
if there were but 1000 cases of general

compared with the pretentious gowns
