The Garibaldi guards ball last even
ing was highly enjoyable affair. The
ellie of the Italian population was
present in large numbers. The hall was
profusely and tastefully decorated with
eucalyptus. cypress, flags, bunting and
pictures. On one side of the hall was a
large shield representing Guisseppi Gar
ibaldis coat of arms and on the other
the Italian stand of colors. The Amer
lean flag was displayed in every part of
the hall. President ]. Sormani had
charge of the musical and stage per-
formance while A. Vignolo was chair
man of the floor committee and regu-
lated the dancing. The songs of sunny
Italy were rendered by large chorus
in such a manner as to arouse the listen
ers to the warmest enthusiasm. The
guards gave an excellent drill and the
merry maskers created enough fun to
make the event a delightful success.

There is unhappiness in the ranks OF
the Bangor police force on account OF
an order recently passed by the NUM-
cipal officers that all the members OF
the force shall alternate between day
and night duty. The order was passed
upon petition sent in by the night
men. who thought that the day men
were having soft snap" and longed
to share in the softness thereof. The
policemen are all paid $2.25 day and
while the only extras the night men
ever see is during base ball time or on
some special occasion, the day men
often have chance to earn extra dol
lars after their regular hours of duty
by doing special service at the theatres
and various ether places of entertain
ment. The day men are. of course,
bitterly opposed to the change. and SO
is the chief, and at the next meeting
of the city council there will be a lively
fight to have the order reconsidered.

under his command.
The train started in o few minutes
after the close of the conversation with
the old Georgian, and we soon came TO
and crossed the Savannah River into
South Carolina. The river was wide
and apparently deep; the tide was set
ting back in a swift, muddy current !;
the crazy old bridge creaked and shook,
and the grinding axles shrieked in the
dry journals as we pulled across.
1t looked very much at times as if we
were to all crash down into the turbid
flood, and we did not care very much if
we did, if We were not going TO be ex-
changed.
The road lay through the tide swamp
region of South Carolina, peculiar and
interesting country. Though swamps
and fens stretched in all directions as far
as the eye could reach, the landscape
was more grateful to the eye than the
famine-stricken pine-barrens of Georgia,
which had become wearisome to the
sight.
The soil where it appeared was rich,
vegetation was luxuriant; great ciumps
of laurel showed glossy richness in the
greenness of its verdure that reminded
us of the fresh color of the vegetation of
our Northern homes, so different from
the parched and impoverished look of
Georgian foliage.
Immense flocks of wild fowl futtered
around us; the Georgian woods were
almost destitute of living creatures; the
evergreen live-oak, with its queer fe.-
toons of Spanish moss, and the ugly and
useless palmettos gave novelty and in
