A War Time Incident.
A Glimpse of Life in the Notorious Old
Libby Prison.


Mr. Walter d. Stinson, postmaster of
Augusta, in looking over some old letters
the other day, came across the DILL OF fare
which was written by his brother, Harry
NJ. Stinson, while in Libby prison in 1861,
which we print below. The letter was
sent to Capt. Geo. E. Brown, who gives
the circumstances of MI Stinson's being
made prisoner.
Alonzo P Stinson, brother of Harry,
was a clerk in a store, when Fort Sum
ter was fired upon, and when the Fifth
regiment was raised he enlised in Co.
ii. Harry Nj. was student in the
Lewiston Academy and leaving his books
he also enlisted in the same company
with his brother. Alonzo P. Stinson
was made third sergeant of the com
pany and was mortally wounded at the
first battle of Bull Run by cannon ball
hich struck him in the right shoulder.
His brother Harry remained with him
till he died, and was taken prisoner.
Sergt Alonzo 2. Stinson was the first
soldier killed in battle that enlisted from
Portland. A picture of this brave young
man who gave his life for tie honor of
the old flag before he was twenty years of
age, was shown on the screen at Rev.
Dr.. Bicknel's recent lecture in Portland.
Lieutenant Bicknell was a member of
the same company at that time. Harry
NJ. Stinson was a prisoner in Richmond
and other Southern cities for about eigh
teen months and when he rejoined his
company he was Immediately given
furlough for sixty days. Gen. Howard
hearing of him appointed him aid de-
camp or his staff he was MORALLY wound
ed while serving with Gen. Howard in the
west and died in the service.

o men on the Infinite shore!
O soldiers who've crossed the divided
Stretch out once again your shadowy hands,
And welcome this one to your side.
He was gallant, and loyal, and true,
Endured with a courage divine,
On, welcome him home to your increasing
ranks,
And give him the Fright of the line
Ere the burden of age fell upon him,
Or the shadows grew thick DER the way,
the call,
Like the soldier who falls in the fray.
o tents of our boys victorious!
Unclose at the days happy birth,
And give to this comrade, who fought good
fight,
Sweet rest from the sorrows of earth
Clean the tents that are whittier than snow,
And the red in their flag with its soft silken
folds,
Mocks the sun in its ruddiest glow.
And the blue in the azuiine sky,
Like the blue in the waves on the strand
Blends softly in purple, and melts into gold ,
In the glow of the twilight land
Your camp fires still CLEAN on the wall,
And you garland your banner with flow
erS,
You touch elbow to day in the same Old way
La happier land than ours.
o comrades who've crossed the divide!
q brothers in Gods summer land!
Reach out through the mists that tnshroud
like a veil
And give him the welcoming hand

Uncle Frederick.

BY CHARLOTTE A f. GREENE
Dear Uncle Frederick, speak of thee,
AS have often done for love of right.
In days gone by thou hast been kind to me
And gave relief when heart first knew its
blight.
Thy life to me was full of silent thought,
let still thou didst no wrong to any man:
Thy principles We're all most firmly wrought,
And praise him who does the best he can.
Though we improve the time as best we may
We strive to live and then our life is gone.
[ write of thee upon thy natal day,
Indulge in words of truth and grateful
praise.
A simple tribute now of love | pay,
La my heart prayer for thee | raise.

Inaccurate War News.

The value of our antewar news may be
judged from the fact that every important
statement made in the description printed
last Thursday morning in one of the leading
New York daily newspapers concerning the
defences of New York Harbor was inaccur-
ate. If this is the dreful consequence of
the use of the reporters eyes, what can we
anticipate from his imagination? Harper's

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results OF The Fest In rHriou. Forms OF
Dyspepsia.

Chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, while
a very common trouble, has for some
time been looked upon BY able physl-
clans as 4 serious thing, and that no
time should be lost in treating It prop
crly at the start, because recent re-
searches have shown that the most
serious. fatal and incurablc diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia or
Indigestion.
Diabetes Is simply n form or lndi-
gestion, sugar and starchy food NOT
being nsslmilated by the digestive or
Gans. In Biights's disease the albu-
men Is not properly assimilatcd.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases. and 1t Is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes n fertile soil for
the seeds OF consumption.
But the trouble has becn to find n
remedy that could be depended upon 10
cure dyspepsia. as II Is notorlously OBJ
/ stlnate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and %dyspcptics alike,
until the question was solved three
years ago by the appearance of q new
dyspepsia cure In the medical world
known as stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which II vas claimed was as n certain,
reliable cure for every form Of stomach
trouble.
Physicians, however. would not ac-
cept such statements without frs, giving
the new remedy many tests and care
fully observing results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested In every section of tho
country and with surprising and satis-
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be a specific, a rad:
ical lasting cure for indigestion In the
various forms OF acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, gus or wind on stomach, too
much bile, undue fullness or pressure
after eating and similar symptoms re-
sultinS from disordcred digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
gears trial left no doubt IA to their
value and they have recently been plac.
ed In The, trade and can be found on
sale at all druggists at the nominal
price or 90 cents per package.
No eXtravagant claims are made for
the remedy. II Will not cure rheumn.
tism, pneumonia. typhoid fever nor any.
thing but Just what Il Is claimed 10 cure
and that Is every form OF stomach
trouble.
No dieting 10 necessary. good whole
some food and plenty of 1t and you NAV
rest assured that stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest 1t.
Druggists claim for Il that Il is a
pleasure 10 recommend Il to dvspcptics,
because 1t gives such universal salts

the Third ward-ard the poll this year
shows only O Democratic majority OF
ffty-four in this ward. The Democrats
are rather retlcent about 1t, yet some OF
them say openly that they will scratch
the e1-mayor. On the other hand the
Republicans are confident and smiling.
The friendly rivalry In the primaries
has given way TO q unanimous spirit 70.
the election all down the line, and odds
are offered with no takers that the
Democrats won't get more than two
counclimcn. The harmony IN the Re-
publican ranks is disappointing In the
extreme to the Democratic brethren,
and equally pleasing IS II TO Republi-
cans. Albert Policy. who made such 4
splendid race for the nomination as city
sergeant, Is one OF the proper sort and
his declaration that he vas satisfied
with the voters choice has made him
many friends. 1t will be a surpriseNit
the Republicans don't poll the biggest
majority for years next Tuesday.
