Midas according to mythology. was the
unfortunate possessor of a pair OF
asses ears, earned by giving offence to
Apollo. The legend goes that Pan chai-
lenged Apollo to a contest in music. and
they agreed 10 let mortal decide which
was superior. SO they selected Midas,
King OF Phyrgia. as judge. Midas de-
cidcd Pan to be the superior, which so
enraged Apollo that he caused his ears 10
be like those of an ass. Midas let's his
hair grow long TO conceal IL. but 1t in
time leaks out. Word came to Midas that
his secret was known. and. realizing that
further concealment was useless. he con-
fessed. and offered half his kingdom to
any one who could cure him. 1t is at this
point that the opera opens. and the trials
and tribulations of the King are sung and
told In a most delightful way.

The Passion Play.

It was a thoroughly interested audience
that listened to Prof J. i. Lewis, Tues
day evening, in the Winthrop Street Uni
yersalist church, as he lived over again
his enjoyable visit to the Passion Play of
Obcrammergau
Professor Lewis is as good traveller as
he is "A narrator of events, and his introduce
tory bit of travel to the scene of the Passion
Play was very delightful and so realistic
that when his hearers finally reached
Oberammergau in fancy, they had arrived
in reality. The colored views of the many
interesting points and scenes of beauty
Ito use the professor own words, pure,
undiluted loneliness, y are perfectly ex-
ouisite, and Mr.. Lewis well deserved the
quiet admiration which his pictures
aroused In the audience The color and
tone of his works were excellent, the water
scenes. especially, and, seldom, il ever be-
fore have as good stereopticon views been
seen in Augusta.
OF the Passion RAY, us ohai"oto' or"
pathos Mr.. Lewis has made close study
for wears, and his talk is scholarly and
oranhic and imbued with the. true spirit
of the work.
Moreover, he is a master of tact, and
has that essential faculty, not only of say
ing enough, but just enough leaving an
immersion which is terse and true, and
in no way confused.
II was large audience which heard the
interesting and thorough portrayal OF the
worlds greatest play, last evening ana
those who were fortunate enough to near
and see it, must have taken away WIN
them something to help them live.

PLEASING GLlMPSES
OF the Atlanta Exposition and Cotton Fields
Of Georgia.

Mrs. John l.. Stevens and daughter
and Miss Maude Gould, have arrived at
Quitman, Ga. where they intend to
make their home for the winter. A friend
of the family has just received a letter
from Miss Nellie Stevens, that contains
pleasing glimpses of the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton and the journey through the South
land. The Journal is permitted to print
the following extract from the letter.
We stopped at Atlanta for one day to
get a glimpse of the Exposition. 1t much
more than equalled our expectations. The
buildings are very handsome and the
grounds are arranged to show them to the
best advantage. Omnibuses start from
the entrance gates every five minutes,
making all parts of the Exposition
accessible without fatigue. From the
"Aragon Roof Garden" which they
claim is the largest one of the kind in
the world, the view Is lovely. From this
height, all the gay scene is spread before
u.s. We liked the Forestry building
the best of ALL The exhibit of
wood and mineral products from the
Southern States is very fine. The interest
of the "Womans Building" has been
much added to- by the Daughters of the
Revolution, who have sent a large collec
ton of relics and portraits 1t was pleas
ant to find the familiar New England
names in what seemed almost like Il
foreign country to our Northern eyes
One thing we noted about the EXPOSE
ton, the great courtesy shown by all the
officials and attendants, they were never
to busy to be kind. Fourteen hours more
of railway travel through miles and miles
of pine forests, past immense cotton fields
where the pickers are at work gathering,
what looks like snow-balls and though
long fields Of tall sugar cane. We pass
by swamps with the dark foliage bright
ened by the dainty autumn flowers, sugar
mills and cane fields are more numerous,
and we are in Brooks county, said to have
the richest lands in Georgia. At last we
reach our destination, and are trying to
rest after what is really q very fatiauing
journey, from New England to southern
Georgia.

A Rescript.

The following rescript has been received
by Clerk of Courts Choate in an impor'
tant town case from Kennebec county;
Katie B. Young vs. Inhabitants OF
Fayette Haskell J The verdict in this
case was $3.50, for personal injuries
received from defective bridge. The
trial was long and expensive one. Tho
report of evidence contains almost 40C
pages. No fault is found with the
rulings of the court at the trial. No ex
captions were taken. The trial therefore
must have been a fair one, and the
plaintiff prevailed She ought to hold
her verdict unless the evidence clearly
demonstrates that it is erroneous or tina,
the damages awarded are excessive
Such demonstrations does not appear
upon many of the points considered there
might be difference of opinion. but a jury
decided all these in the plaintiff S favor and
that decision fairly made and supported by
evidence must stand The court, after a
careful consideration of all the evidence,
cannot say that the verdict was wrong
or that the damages awarded are exces
sive
Motion overruled.
Received Nov. 12, 1895.

Reply to Spinster-A Communication.
Editors Kennebec Journal {:

Editors Kennebec Journal:
1 was much panied at reading an arti-
Gle headed Suppress the Children" in
your issue of the 18th, and feel that some
one should reply. | can assure the writer
that it was a mistake in thinking that "a
responsive chord was struck, for unless
all sense of human feeling had long been
dead, that article would never have been
penned.
The writer is correct in saying that
a child needs restraint; that is well
known by all parents, but to de-
nounce health, strength and vigor,
those great blessings given by an all wise
Creator, is simply blasphemous. l thank
God every day that there are seven chill
dren in my family--pricelcss gifts from
heaven-who rush like young cyclones"
through their waking hours, and would /,
or any parent change their healthy, hap
py children for those with dubious fore
heads" and who never speak above a
whisper? No, a thousand times no.
We again agree with the writer in being
thankful that they are not responsible for
the doings of any child; sad indeed would
be the lot Of that child. All nations will
agree with me, in one mighty shout of
thanksgiving that kind and wise Provi-
derc, has not permitted one of God S
jewels to fall under the care of one who
has publicly shown themselves so totally
unfit to take up duty which meets with
the highest approval of God. 1t was with
a shudder that we read the closing words,
and how much pleasanter the world
would be if we didn't see them"
These words need no comment, No
language can be found that could describe
the gloom, the sorrow and despair were
our loved children removed from our
midst Christ himself blessed them they
are sent to US from God, and there is moth
ing in this whole world so beautiful as
the happy children. Let us try and guide
them, as our good mothers guided us
teach them the way to eternal life, and
from God himself we shall ut last receive
we'll done, and minglc through all
eternity with Gods children, For of such
is the kingdom Of Heaven"
