AN EXPLANATION.

Mr.. d. M. GRAHAM, who is plaintiff in
a suit against f. III. Ray for an account.
ing in the case of the Elias Dodge estate
of Westbrook, thinks the statement pub
'lished that the case had been dismissed by
Judge Peabody without prejudice gives
Z a wrong impression. The facts of the
case. he says, are that although I. W.
Parker and Samuel W. Bates appeared
for Mr.. GRAHAM, the petition was drawn
by another attorney before the case came
into their hands. They wished to amend
the petition in order to let in important
new evidence, and by agreement with
Mr.. Rays attorneys the present petition
was dropped with the agreement that Mr..
Ray would appear in answer to the new
petition without waiting for the papers
to be served by an officer. The case Will
be tried within few days

rigs In a Spanish Town.

1t is the pigs that give Puebla de San
abria it's individuality. The towns main
street terraces upward, thoroughfare of
supreme unevenness, and from the valley
to the castle door you meet placid recum-
bent pigs almost at every yard. They lie
about like the cats in the Lisbon streets,
and no one interferes. They sit on their
hams at the thresholds of the houses, and
when the within seizes them stroll into the
dwellings with curious little spasmodio
twistings of the tail. They even climb the
stairs like the two legged inmates, and
again, when urged by the whim, take the
air on the agreeable old balconies above.
Thence from amid hanging ereepers and
household crockery, their long, slate blue
shouts peer down upon the passerby with
a critical air that is curiously offensive.
This, mind you, not in a poor little
hamlet like those of Connemara, but in
the chief street of district capital of
Spain, with an assuming town hall close
to the swine. The air here, which ought
to be as sweet and fresh as that Of Skid
davis top, reeks with ordure. In other
Spanish hamlets one has to say ''By your
leaye'' to the bronzed porkers and tinkling
goats which block the thoroughfare, but
in Puebla de Sanabria the pigs resent the
hint that they are In the way. 1t is you
who intrude. Their grunts, ranging from
complaint to challenge, tell you that quite

Pleasant Dreams.

1t does not lie in the painters fancy. to
imagine prettier picture than that OF a
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dream1and. The mind of happy
maideuhood is a clear and polished mirror,
which, when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism Is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency Maladies of this nature unfit a
woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They incapacitate her
to bear the burdens of life in any sphere
of action Household, marital and social
duties alike are burden to the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
ening drains. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

Mayer Randall received a telegram
at 4. As O'Clock yesterday afternoon from
Capt. Geo. A. Dow to the effect that the
Portland Battalion of the First Maine
Volunteer Regiment, would arrive home
at s. 80 o'clock.
Mayor Randall and the city govern
ment believes in giving warm welcome
to those men who went into the service
from Portland and it was arranged to
give theFirst Maine regiment..an enthusi.
astic reception when they came home.
Owing to the short time which elapsed
between the receipt OF Captain Dow s
telegram land the arrival of the troops,
the Mayor was unable to meet the men
All Union Station as he intended to and
this part of the programme had to be
abandoned.
Mayor Randall ordered the Portland
Railroad company to send. enough cars to
Union Station to carry the men of the
Portland battalion up town, and this
was done.
At $50 O'Clock the regular train from
-
two engines ahead land any number OF
crowded cars. Hardly had ..theatrain
stopped when the boys IN blue began to
drop off on to.the platform and there they
found many friends to welcome them,
even II the notice of their home coming
was short. The men came without arms
and with only their Blankets srolled uI
over their shoulders. They ware for the
most part thin and emaoiated, and many
of them looked as if they had just come
out of the hospital. Capt. George A.
Dow was in command of the party, but
as soon as the men got out on to the plat
form at Union Station they scattered in
all directions like cbaf before the wind
and no attempt at military formation
was made. The three oars in waiting
were boarded and in a few minutes the
W hole crowd was on its way up town.
These men all come home on furlough
for 80 days, and then they will return te
Augusta and be mustered out of the ser
vice.
The Portland boys have been very anx.
ious to get home since their arrival al
Augusta, and have looked forward with
much impatience for the arrival of the
paymaster and their furloughs. Yester-
day morning 1t was announced that three
companies would be allowed to leave
camp and the Portland companies were
not included IN the list. Capt. Dow
got permission to take the men home If
they could pack up in time to go, and
the way the Portland boys got their
traps together ready for starting was
an eye opener to the company officers.
ON the same train which brought the
Portland boys came the Biddeford COM
pany with Capt. Gowenl in charge. Some
of the Biddeford men stopped over in
Portland, but the most of them went on
home.
On the way up town in the cars, the
Portland boys cheered everything and
everyone in sight and were cheered in re-
turn in many..places.
Had the people of Portland known
these boys were coming home last light
they would have given them warm re-
ception, but as 1t is the reception will
take place tonight and everyone along
the. line of march should do their best
to make it an enthusiastic welcome fo1
the Portland battalion.
