Golden Eagle Caught. - Henry E.

Golden Eagle Caught. - Henry e.
Remick of Waterford shot large bird
Saturday, wounding it so that it fell to
the ground. He ran toward it and
caught it after rather lively tussle. The
bird proved to be a golden eagle which
measured seven feet and eight inches from
tip to tip. He brought it to st. Johns
bury in the afternoon, where it attracted
much attention. 1t was purchased by
Charles H. Horton, who will have it
mounted and added to his already choice
collection. The bird was in beautiful
plumage and weighed eleven pounds.
This is believed to be the first specimen
ever caught in this county. The late
Hiram Cutting of Lunenburg did not
consider it a scarce bird in Vermont
and it has been found in the White noun
tains. The specimen at the Museum was
killed at Passumpsic. where it had been
sent to friends from the Rocky noun
tains.

But in no christiaulzed plan on earth
is God so reckoned. In such con
nection His Name is unutterable.
Yet here we have this critic, uncon-
scously no doubt, adding blasphemy
TO what must have been in the case of
the moon a conscious mis-statement
The JOURNAL could pass over much
personal persihage which this unkind
critic needlessly INDUCES to an express
sion of joy at the assurance, more
than half sure, that an ambassador of
the Meek and Lowly One is not the
author of Fair Play"
With this conclusion it would glad
ly close this article. But one doubt
always the shadow of truth, haunts
it with the question-should Its I'M
feigned hope and desire that Fair
Play is not the nom de plume of a teach
err of ''the truth as it is in Jesus" prove
VAIN, what then /? All, what then ?
If it We're its Office it might enjoin him
to descend from his high place and
pray for the lenity which comes with
the grave. For such as he cannot
adopt Pope's prayer
That mercy | to others show,
That mercy show to me.
No-the answer would blast and
Shrivel him even here.
No-he should pray for the clemency
which at last endows men like him with
citizenship among the millions who
people the vast empire of oblivion.

of the Maryland coal company will be
improved by fan the company is
placing therein.
President C. X. Lord, of the Con-
soldation Coal company, and other
officials looked last week into the
feasibility of draining the water which
is said to flood large body of the
company's coal in the Borden Shaft
basin, through Ocean mine-a solution
of a problem that has hitherto given
those interested much concern.

Will our critic affirm now that the
spelling Of heaven by these men is,
like themselves, done on a small
scale ?" Has he the literary effrontcry
to repeat the statement that such SPELL
ing thus shows "a tendency of their
disposition to minimize and beHttle
that which is worthy of the highest
consideration ?"
Whether he has or has not, his rule,
as applied to the JOURNAL, defames
the literary character of nearly every

claims that the man who insists u; on
deifying the elements by the use of
capital letters is yet novice in liter

The moon is an emblem of peace 1t
stands to her credit that even in the inexact
scheme of astrology her office is nearly always
that of Il mOderating force in the fiery houses

There is no surer way of personify-

Is it possible, however, that man
who is "otl'' on the use of capital

that he cannot read well enough cor

If so, he should stay out of print

Now, let us try him by the same
system of logic. He says
it is an accepted canon of literary criticism
that Heaven, capitalized is a synonym for

A NEW SCHEME

An exchange in San Diego
makes the following proposition;
"One of the best plans to benefit
this county yet suggested in con.
nection with State division is that
which contemplates its annexation
to Arizona and the admission of
that Territory INTO the Union as a
State. Viewed from a purely bust
ness standpoint, there is probably
no scheme that would do as much
good both to Arizona and to San
Diego 1t would give to Arizona
deep water connection with all the
world through one of the finest
natural seaports in it, and would
make of San Diego the ocean me.
tropolis of a great State. The first
immediate result of the consumma.
ton of such plan would be a
direct railroad to the East. The
second would be a substantial re,
cognition Of the claims of San Die,
go Harbor in Congress. When
appropriations of millions of dol
lars are made for the construction
of an artificial harbor and OF dry
docks in an open TO adStead like
San Pedro, and all through the
efforts of a single wideawake Sena-
tor, it is not too much to assert
that with two Senators from the
new State, working together for
the only harbor in it, that some
benifits could be secured for it.
Los Angeles has so often wished us
in Mexico that she could not with
decency object to our annexation
to Arizona. Much more could be
said in favor of this plan, and we
propose in the future to show the
many advantages oft in detail, and
advocate it in place of State divis-
ion, as we believe that the creation
of the new State, with San Diego
as one of the counties of it, would
give us the naming of one of the
Senators and Congressman, be-
side solid delegation to work for
us in all naval matters. Instead of
being relocated to the last place
after every open roadstead in the
country had been heard, we would
be placed in the very first rank
as the only seaport of a great
State.
