heroes of a century ago 1t has been
several times proposed to make the
birthday of Jefferson a national holi-
day. When it was proposed during his
lifetime to observe his birthday. he dis
couraeed the proposition and refused
to let the date be known. Now that ne

the universal yearning for proofs of Il
future existence and reunion with loved

took a hold upon the minds of the PEG

in face of the opposing demonstrations
of science and the obloquy inseparablo
from the presence of countless charla-

many partial believers in their mem

Bangor News: The proclamation of
Governor Powers appointing Thursday
April 28, as Fast day is one of the
prettiest and most sensible documents
that ever came from under the hand of
any governor. 1t practically says:
Fast day is an old habit. 1t is harm
less It pleases a good number of peo-
pie Therefore there can be no harm
in keeping it up There is no exuber-
ance Of piety in the whole document.
Coy. Powers gets right down to the
kernel in the nut and when he mas
extracted it he stops. AS sample
proclamation it is without peer. And
yet the governor missed a great
chance. With Spanish war threatening
and people all over the country arming
for the fray, what stroke of business
il would nave been for his eXcellency to
throw about 2QG0 ems of double leadel
defiance to Spain How the people
would have howled and the galleries
would cheer! Still. as long as silence
is the best Indication of craftsmanship
the governor has shown himself q
thorough statesman by exercising
great self control. The people are very
few who would let such an opportunity
pass by.

Portland Express: There was love
for Maine in every word that was
spoken during the meeting of the State
Board of Trade yesterday. Devotion
to her interests was everywhere mani
fest, and every speaker dwelt with
much warmth upon the opportunities
which exist for the Improvement of our
State. The result of this good work
for the State has already been felt in
many ways. The people have come 70
realize what a splendid State it is in
which to live. Capital is coming to
realize what an opportunity there is
for favorable investment among our
hills and along our rivers and business
men are learning that opportunities are
as good in every line here as they are
in any spot on earth. Let such good
work go on. Maine will repay in a
thousand ways every good word spoken
and every good deed done in her behalf
Mrs. George II. Tapley of West
Brooksville, has in her possession Il
powder horn on which is inscribed
Lake George, July 10. 1858. N T.
Nathan This horn came into the
possession of the Tapley family about
% years ago from gentleman in the
town Of Prospect. This horn and the
inscription on it give rise to interesting
speculation. Who was N. r. Nathan?
Did he fight in the seven years war
between the French and English? Was
he under Abercrombie or Montcalm at
Ticonderoga. when two nations fought
for the prize of continent, which
neither could retain? Perhaps he wit
messed the disgraceful and unpardon-
able massacre at Fort William Henry,
which remains an indelible stain on the
memory of Montcalm. Perhaps he was
counterpart of Coopers "Natty
Bumpo," who has made famous to
readers of the Misunderstanding Tales
the region about Lake George But the
only answer to these questions and
speculations is the old powder horn
with its simple inscription and the
significant date.

will be strengthened, and that pie

series of anecdotes, giving the vital
characteristics of each. Rev. John

Var Probable.

As the days OF suspense go by, IL
begins to look more and more as II n
sanguinary conflict may be precipi-
tated between the United States and
Spain. Late Washington reports
state that crisis is pending and an
emergency fund Of $50,000,00O will
be appropriated, and the President
be given discretionary powers for its
use in preparing for war. Washing
ton kilograms under date OF March
Sth, say the excitement there was
greater than it has been in official
circles since the close OF the rebellion.
The one subject OF conversation
everywhere is the deliberate inyestl-
CATION being made into the Maine
disaster, the governments refusal to
act pending that slow investigation,
while it is making all possible
preparations for war. As rulec con-
servatiye people predict that there
will be no war. But it is also remem-
b.red that war suddenly flares out
when scarcely expected.
