To the Editor of The american:
As was walking along the sidewalk to-
day, was most happily surprised to meet
face to face W. b. Blaisdel and his
brother, r. H. Blaisdell, OF Franklin, Me.
| did not recognize them, hdring nerer

my Wooster lock-.

down east" friends and acquaintance !;
and so | learned much of the doings and
veal Of that good people, who in that
early day, in large measure, circumstanced
and conditioned my then young life.
am always glad to meet friends from
the old home country, even if | did not
know them there. Since / left those

Even the war excitement shrunk into
insignitlcance in Bucksport last Friday
when a monster from the sea was hauled
out at the marine railway. Even the old
deep-sea salts were unable to identity the
fish, which was estimated modestly to
weigh "half a tom. When the old salts
could not name it, it is not surprising
that the learned men from the seminary,
armed with massive volumes of science
and natural history, We're unable to do
better. 1t resembles whale. but " hales

see the pile of manuscript with which
he is at present occupied. The walls of
his workroom are lined with books from
floor to ceiling-not the books of mere
collector, but the working library Of
political student. The great and crown
ing work of Mr.. Castelar's life promises
to be the universal history on which he
is at present occupied, and which bids
fair to greatly enhance his fame.
Mr.. CASTELAR, is bachelor He does
not smoke or gamble, or indulge in those
| many so-called recreations which ulti-
mately disturb the balance between our
physical and intellectual forces-a bal.
ance necessary to the exercise of sound
judgment. He has, therefore, beauti-
full harmony of faculties, which mani
tests itself in his oratory, his splendid
mastery of composition, his choice of
ornaments, and, most strikingly of all,
in his preparation of a dinner.
When he asked me to dine with him,
he most kindly asked after my tastes in
| matters culinary, to which I answered
| that, as a stranger in Spain, the most
| interesting food to me would naturally
be that which had a peculiarly national
character. And what dinner that
was, to be sure! There were two cabi-
net ministers present, and half dozen
other friends connected with public life.
My host no doubt wished me to see that
people of all parties could unite at his
| board, and that an American, even then,
| was well received if he came on an er-
| rand of peace.
1t was hard to talk politics at such
meal. Every dish was strange and de-
llcious; every wine was one of the
| choicest, and selected with especial ref
| erence to the food that was to- form its
companion piece. Our learned host could
give historical and botanical foot-notes
to every dish. l have known but one
such masterful epicure In my life-the
late Charles A. Dana, who was at the
time, like Mr.. CASTELAR,, an artist in a
large variety of directions.

The Irish Gun CHALLENGER.

Sir Thomas Johnstono Upton, The
challenger for the American cup, is a
familiar figure in New York and Chi
cago on account of his frequent business
trips to this side.
FIe began life as laborer OH a Caro-
lima rice plantation, and rose to his pre-
sent position by force of intellect and
business ability. His business interests
are much diversified. He furnishes ra-
tions for the British navy, owns i'm
mense tea plantations in Ccylon, cen
ducts slaughter house and stock pens
in Chicago with capacity for dressing
1000 cattle day, runs 600 refrigerator
cars through the West each day for the
distribution Of his dressed beef, owns
a tea and coffee establishment in New
YORK, owns mineral springs and makes
ginger ale In Ireland and is proprietor
OF nearly 100 grocery stores in London.
Her majesty, Queen Voctoria, made
him knight as a token of her apprcci-
alton when he gave $125,0UO to the
Princess Of Wales fund for feting the
poor during the. queen.s jubilee.
Sir Thomas was in this country in
June and July, but announced that 1t
was nothing more than a regular busi-
ness trip. He intimated, however, that
in the near future he would challenge
for the cup-some time after the end
of the SpanishAmerican war. Beyond
this he would not talk although his
friends said he would challenge. The
outcome proved them right.

1ue JOY is come, alanna,
That is watched for through th
years;
And my heart is full Of blessing,
But my eyes are full of tears.
The joy is come, alanna,
And I am far away
The mother will not see her boy,
Upon this first mass day.
Sweet day of all my longing!
Sure, why should I complaint!
I'd bear, to have my boy a priest,
A thousand years of pain.
But oh, to see you with the cup,
In vestments gold and white,
Dear Lord! this would be heaven
To poor mothers sight.
To watch you at the altar,
And hear you read the book;
And when you turn around to pray
Observe your holy look.
And oh! my child, to bow with you
At that most solemn hour,
When our dear Christ is present
Unto your words of power.
Some say would not know you now,
You are SO changed, astore;
Och! I would know you, darling,
If an angels wings you wore.
Little they feel a mothers love,
Who doubt, when face to face,
That twenty years Of waiting
Can live in one embrace?
Now, do not feel alone today,
Ma bouchal stor nachree!
For Christ is more than mother
And son to you and me.
Sure, If thought you'd shed a tear.
It's DER the seas I'd roam,
With little shamrock and sod.
To make you feel at home.
'Tis true, astore, I'm with you,
And tho worlds should lis part.
My eyes would look into your eyes,
My heart beat to your heart.
I'm with you near the holy rail,
Your kiss is on my cheek,
I feel the blessing of your hand,
I hear you laugh and speak.
Oh, darling, were nearer,
think my heart would break:
Such blessedness steals DER me now
And rapture for your sake.
Enough, enough, to breathe my name
When Christ is in your hand
Oh, don't forget your fathers grave
And dear, old Ireland.
The morn is come, alanna,
And I'm kneeling where you kne,
The little shrine of Mary
Used to smile on me and you.
I've placed the flowers and canoles
For the mass that might have beer
But my eyes, agra, can't find their rest
Ny joy is all within.
I'll make your heart my altar,
And my breast house of prayer,
And Jesus at your holy word,
Will tabernacle there.
I'll wait for you at morn,
And I'll pray with you till noon,
And every eve III dream of you,

to do but very small business on their

the best they can, but feel sure that any

Dear Sir: When contractor builds
house, pride and reputation prompt
him to do good job. He likes to be
able to say, "rhere's building put up
ten or twenty or thirty years ago. 1t is
in first class shape today, and is good for
"a long time yet"
That is pride. 1t ia reputation too.
What a man has done is evidence of " What
he will do again.
You can EMPLOY the most expert work
men, and choose your lumber with the
greatest care, and then, unfortunately,
spoil the whole job with poor paint.
You may buy what you think is good
paint, but how can you tell what is con-
tanned in sealed-up package? You of
course cannot do il. You have 10 RELY
on the reputation and the assertions of
the makers of the paint. F. w. Devoe
& Co. we're established in 1754. We
haven't grown to be he oldest aud larry
est paint concern in rhe United States
by making poor paints, that's certain.
We guarantee our pure lead and zinc
paint to be composed only of pure lead,
pure zinc, pure liuseed oil and pure tint
ing colors, and nothing else.
They are guaranteed to contain no
benzine, water, alkalis, petroleum, fish

will bear US out in what we say. We do
not know whose testimony carries more
weight in Skowhegan than theirs.
