INTERESTING LECTURE.
Large Audience Hears Rev. C. A. HAYDEN on
The Literature OF the Bible"

Last Sunday evening, before a yerv
large audience in the Cniversalist church
Rev. q. A. Hayden gave the second in his
course upon 1.-THE Literature of the Bible. y
Mr.. Hayden brought out the many sided
Views OF the book and its contents, and
how every form of literature Is represented
there Faith, said he lean never be In =
Jured by criticism which seeks for truth.
There is no reason why we should be more
stupid about the Bible than other books
inspiration is not in cold type, not In
books but In men. They were inspired
1t was the inbreathng of God in the soul
of man.
Every man is inspired, as moved by
God 5 spirit. When I read some sweet
story of Jesus, | feel this inspiration The
story, like his parallels, may be fiction
but the truth there revealed Is all the
clearer. So it is with the hymns, the
stories all through; they are to be taken
for what they are, and not for what men
now oeciare them TO be. There Is an i'm
pa'sable gulf between the God of some
parts Of the Old Testament and the God
of the New II one be true the other Is
false The God Of hatred, of revenge. the
God OF Leyitlcus, is nos the God to whom
Jesus would have his followers turn.
Grand, majestic. sublime, are the beauties
Of this Book, but 1t is to be studied, just as
We study any other for the truths it CON
tains. and not to accept the stories, the
fables or the errors. Be absolutely sincere
and truthful, facing the questions you
meet in all sincerity, for, in so doing,
there can come only good to your soul"
The next lecture will be Feb. ., ON the
subject The Beauty of the Bible"

NEW ATTORNEYS ROOM.
Special Arrangements and Comfortable Quar-.
tiers Being Made at Court House.

During the intermission of the session
of court, f. H. Jones, the janitor of county
buildings, is having an attorneys room
fitted out in fine shape over the office of
the clerk of courts, at the court house on
the hill
The demand for a room Of this kind has
long been felt. The attorneys have been
in the habit of using the library for a
loafing and talking room, and have smoked
therein, not benefiting the surroundings
any by so doing. Accordingly a room is
being fitted up for their especial accom-
mediation, and 1t certainly is most con-
veniently located, being close by the en-
trance to the court room. 1t will be nicely
fitted out with hardwood doors ard white
wood furnishings. with closet for coat
room, and a lavatory on either side of the
fireplace. The floors will be neatly carpeted
and the walls re-papered. The room ad.
Joining in the rear will be used as wit
ncsses' room, and Is being nicely fitted
up.
About $3.50 is being expended in fitting
up the rooms.

order to surpass other like publications.
1t is finely illustrated, some Of the crops,
OF which photographs have been taken,
having been raised in Maine. Among
these We notice photographs of the potato
fields of S. b. Salisbury at Caribou and
John A. Grant at Dyer Brook; also of
the fine wheat crop raised by + A. Wash
burne of Caribou; of hay grown by Geo.
\. Thurlow of West Ltchfield; of yellow
corn raised by c. NJ. Thompson of Jay
Bridge: of sweet corn raised by Farrar
Bros of Lisbon of the 100 acre potato
field of A. II. Weeks & Co., FIT. Fairfield,
Me. These illustrations are said to be
actual reproductions Of the original
photographs of crops grown last season by
ordinary methods of cultivation and fer
tlization with none of the extraordinary
inducements offered in crop competitions
in which the contestants are led to resort
to unusual methods and great expense in
hope of winning large prizes by the pro-
duction of remarkable crops" Indeed it
would seem the reputation of Bradley s

tanned with such careful supervision, that
there would be no need of questionable
methods in advertising.

not due directly to stomach trouble, as
stated in Mondays Journal, as she had
recently recovered from that illness. The
death was due to brain trouble, which de-

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE II, 1896.
THE

Speaker Reeds determination not 10
accept the nomination for the vice
presidency is quite natural. The vice.
presidency is not a desirable position
for an able and energetic statesman.
The Office was the one great miscalcu-
lation of the trainers Of the constitu-
ton. The idea was to make a sort of
heir apparent, and originally it was
regarded as the proper arrangement
that the vice. president should in time
succeed to the presidency. But tol
this sentiment, it is not likely that
John Adams would ever have been
elected. jefferson served q term as
vice. president before he was elected
president, but with the development of
national parties, the vice-presidency
became a mere make weight on the
presidential ticket. Since Jefferson
time, no vice-president was ever elected
president.
Nevertheless, there have been four
vice-presidents who succeeded to the
presidential Office, and the posi-
bility is always great enough to make
the matter of the selection of the vice
president more important than it is
generally regarded. Thurlow Weed
in his "reminiscences says that Webster
rejected the vice-presidency with scorn
when Harrison was nominated, and
again when Taylor was nominated.
He was indignant that men of such in
ferior abilities should be preferred to
the great leaders of the whig party In
congress MIR. Weed points out that
had he accepted the vice presidency on
either occasion when it was offered to
HIM he would have accomplished his
ambition of becoming the president OF
the United States, as both Harrison
and Taylor died early in their term OF
office.
The chance of succession to the
presidency is not to be thought Of as a
consideration that should influence de-
cision upon such. a case, but no man
has a right to treat the vice-presidenc
with disdain, however great his ability |
If the party demands Mr.. Reeds SER
vices in that capacity he should not
refuse. There are many times when
the office Is too great for the man, but
the man is never too great for tbs
,ffice.

The week ending June 10 was very
dry and hot.
The drouth is now severe, and seri-
Gus results are feared il rain does not
some soon.
Crops that are well irrigated have
made good growth, but the evapora.
ton is so rapid, that frequent irriga-
ton is necessary to keep up the
growth.
The stock ranges grow worse from
day to day, and water is getting very
scarce for stock.
In many localities water is very low
for irrigation; the Rio Grande is dry
as far north as Rincon and very low
above that.
The outlook at present is rather dis.
c%ouraging in most places.
