The Last Man to Leave the Maine'

The Last Man to Leave the Maine.
 Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee continues his "Personal Mar rative of the Maine" in the De- cember Century. In speaking of the scene following the ex- plosion. Capt. Sigsbee says.
 It was a hard blow to be obliged to leave the Maine; none of us desired to leave while any part of her poop re- mained above water. We waited until satisfied that she was resting on the bottom of the harbol. Lieutenant. Com mander Wainwright then whis- pered to ne that he thought the forward ten-inch magazine had been thrown up into the burning material amidships and might explode at any time, with further dlsastrious effects. He was then directed to get everybody in the boats. which was done. It was an easy operation; one had only to step directly from the deck into the boat. There was still some delay to make sure that the ships stern had grounded, and still more because of the extreme politeness of the off cers, who considerably offered me a steadying hand to step into the boat Lieutenant Commander Wainwright stood on one side and Lieutenant Holman on the other; each of fered me hand. I suggested the propriety of my being the last to leave, and requested them to precede me, which they did. There was favora- ble comment later in the press because 1 left last. It is a fact that I was the last to leave, which was only proper; that IS to say, it would have been im- proper otherwise; but virtually all left last. The fine conduct of those men who came under my observation that night was conspicuous and touching. The heroism of the wounded men 1 did not see at the time. but afterward good reports of their behavior were common. The patient way in which they bore themselves left no doubt that they added new honors to the service when the Maine went down.

Good Roads.
lSt. Lonis Republic.

Good roads, like good streets, make habitation along them desira ble
 The town residence on a dirt street full of ruts and boggv places, though it may be com- posed ofas costly materials and is just as spacious, will com mand neither the rental nor the selling price of the residence upon a paved street or asphalt boulevard.
 So it is with a farm in coun try districts. Be it ever so fer tile and we'll titled, if it is with out a firm road, traversable at all seasons of tue year and con- meeting it with a market town, or two or three for that matter, it labors under a distinct dis. advantage as against others that possess these aids to trans portation and profit.
 Good roads are as essential auxiliaries to the development of the general wealth ofa state and county as any instrument tality that enters into the net work of our agencies for profit making. The farmer living alongside a turnpike hauls his products to the city or railroad station far more cbeaply than one who has his habitation alongside some so- called county road, where alternating gullies and hog holes are constantly breaking down his wagons and wearing out his horses and mules.
 Not only do good roads en hance the value and Increase the profitableness of farming property, but they are potent aid to the spread of religion and sociability. People don't mind going five miles, ol even a greater distance, to church on Sundays when they have smooth roads. The same con ditions afford them equal in ducements to social intercourse and make it easier for the chil. dren to attend school.

Don't provide yourself with a wife and expect her to pro- vide you with a home. Two Pointed Questions Answer
 ed.

What is the use of making bet ter article than your competitor if you cannot get better price for It?
 Ans. As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be be smaller on singIe sale they will be much greater in the az gregate.
 How can you get the pubic to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought prom inently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.
 This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using 1t tor years and have found that 1t can be depended upon. They may occas- lonally take up with some fashion able novelty put forth with exag, gerated claims, bat are certaIL to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlaln's Cougn Remedy.
