LafaYette In Maine.

"It was during the administration Of
Governor Albion K. Parris,'' says the
Kennebec (Me.) Journal, "that General
Lafayette made his memorable tour of
the United States and paid his visit TO
Maine 1t was on a Sunday that the
general concluded that visit and pro-
posed leaving the state from Portland.
Governor Paris demonstrated with him
for taking his departure on that day
and said, IF you will postpone your trip
until Monday, 1 will myself escort you
to the state line with all the military
honors' But Lafayette, accustomed to
the continental Sabbath, insisted on not
altering his plans and left Maine on
Sunday, while the Sabbath honoring
governor of a God fearing state attended
his church service as was his habit

HOW SHE WORKED HER PA.

Gets His Property and WEEDS One She
Agreed to Cast Aside.
An old gentlemen, who through
hard work and frugal methods had
accumulated a competence, did not
regard with favor the counting of his
only daughter by young man, a
comparative stranger to him, and one
who, on investigation. was found to
not ENJOY the best social standing in
the world. He made known his OBJ
jections to the daughter, and had APP
parently convinced her that. she would
not find in her new lover those char
acteristies and virtues that impart
sunshine and happiness into other
lives; in fact, he would not make her
the kind of husband she was deserV-
ing of.
A legal difficulty then arose to fur
Their EN- barrass the father. He did
not consider the claim that had been
Threatened against his property just
one, and declared he would defeat its
successful execution, if it were posi-
bic.
He consulted lawyer. The attor-
ney (who was an intimate friend OF
the man who sought to win the heart
and hand of the daughter of the client,
although of course the latter was not
aware of the fact), after duly weigh
ing the circumstances, advised the
deciding of the house and lot, which
bid fair to become involved in itiga-
ton, from father to child.
The deed was consummated ana the
old gentleman sat back and defied the
claimant
A few days passed and there was Il
marriage. The daughter had flown
with the man she had promised to
cast aside and had beaten her parent
out of several thousand dollars. Her
game was cleverly worked.
This all happened a short time ago,
and there are many who are fully ac-
quainted with the fair.

THERE are very great many able,
learned, thoughtful, patriotic Ameri-
cans who are opposed to the acquisi-
ton of the Philippine islands, and
who fear this annexation will prove a
serious injury to the nation. Among
them are ex-senator Edmunds,
Senators Hoar and Hale, and
many others of equal fame. No
one can sayDthat their opinions are
not entitled to consideration. They
are as able and patriotic as any in the
whole land. In a free land like ours
there cannot help but be differences
of opinion on vital questions. What
the benefits of these islands will be it
is hard to say. That they will bring
their burdens no one doubts. If the
thing becomes an accomplished fact,
we shall hope it will prove for the
best, but we must confess we have
never yet heard of any material bene-
fit the acquisition of the islands will
be to the United States.

Horace GreeIey's Eccentric Ideas.

Even his eccentric ideas We're made
plausible by his treatment. heard him
say once that what was then thought to
be the Great American desert ought to
be planted with Canada thistles SO as to
give nature some sort of a green start,
when other vegetation might be made
to follow. But the trouble is Canada
thistles, like any other thing inspired
by "pure cussedness," will only grow
and thrive where they ought not to.
Find a place where their presence would
do some good, and, as in the Humpty
Dumpty case, "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" could not fasten
them there. This perverseness suggests
in a certain way the small boys con-
ception of good and bad-his enchiridion
of nature and life.
whats fun he said, sis always
wicked; what we don't want to do is
pious.
Mr.. Greeley would cut down his
alders in the spring. When l mildly sug-
gested to him that our agricultural au-
thorities preferred the autumn for that
work, when nature could not so well
aid their struggle for existence, he
thought this reason was a mere excuse
for not cutting them at all.-Joel Ben
ton in Harper's Magazine.
