Prince put up at the Augusta house
and sought out the prominent officials
of that day. The First Maine Cavalry
was then camped in Augusta and Israel
Washburn was governor. But Gov.
Washburn, who knew all about the
States preparations for war on land
knew nothing about the naval acad-
envy. could hardly tell where it was.
Senator Morrill, was equally ignorant
Capt. Bradford also detailed how he
had intended to go to West Point but
his appointment TO the naval academy
gave Representative Walton an oppor-
tunity to appoint friend of James G..
Blaine to the military academy. He
told in a very interesting manner how
at that early time they were talking
about MIR. Blaine as "a coming man."
Chief Justice Fuller presided at the
Bowdoin banquet, he having been
president of the alumni association in
Washington for many years. Another
interesting figure at the banquet, as
far as Augusta people are concerned,
was the uncle of the Chief Justice, Rev
Daniel Weston, now in his S4th year.
The aged man is remarkably we'll pre-
SSINSd. ne Has DecH Il rector VI tHe
Episcopal faith for many years but has
in recent years paOed his winters with
daughter in this city. He and the
chief justice, who resemble each other
very much. are fast friends.
Several private pension bills. which
Representative Burleigh introduced in
the House and had passed through
that body, have just been favorably
acted upon by the Senate and now
promise to become law before the end
of the session. One of them is a bill
to pension at the rate of ST. month
Nelly V. Crosby of 1IlIingswood Cor
ner, in Waldo county. She is the de-
pendent daughter of the late Henry
Crosby of the Nineteenth Maine An
other of Governor Burleigh's bills that
the Senate passed was to increase the
pension of Capt. Charles N. Smiley
from $l2 to $50
Senator Hale has been away from
Washington most of the past week lie
was called away by the death of Mrs.
IIale'S mother. Mrs. Zachariah Chand-
Ter of Detroit, Mich.
The Third District was well cared for
in the river ana harbor bill that passed
the Senate last week and which is now
in conference. The notable provision
is for a survey TO determine the cost of
Il channel between Augusta and the
bridge at Gardiner of equal width and
depth with the channel below the
bridge. This was inserted in the bill
through the joint efforts of Senator
Frye and Representative Burleigh.

BAY STATE GAME.
Some New Legislation Pending in
Massachusetts.
They Are Profitins from the Example Of Maine

Boston, Feb. 2S.-(Special. )-Inspired
by the excellent success which mas at
tended the eff<rts of the Maine fish
and game commissioners during the
past several years. the sportsmen of
Massachusetts now are putting forth
all their energy to promote the propa-
CATION and insure the protection of
game birds and fish in this State
Numerous bills aiming to this end now
are pending before the general court
and hearings before the fish and game
commissioners Legislative committee
have been unusually animated, during
the present session.
The knights of the rod and gun also
are taking other steps to bring about
the desired results, and numerous
clubs. formed of their numbers, meet at
various places and at frequent inter-
walls to discuss ways and means.
Because of the laxity of the game
laws which have prevailed in Massa-
chusetts for some time. poaching has
assumed alarming proportions and the
efforts of the sportsmen now are be-
ing directed towards the miscreants
addicted to this practice. The law
making Sunday "close time" in all
branches of the sport, as now in vogue
in Maine and many other states, but
which does not apply in Massachusetts.
also is being strongly advocated.
Something must come of the present
agitation. That the result will be sat
isfactory. all those interested are Ger
tain This field of legislation. they say,
has been grossly neglected in the past
and with good laws, such as now are
contemplated. the sport in this state
will soon assume some of, if not all,
its old time qualities.
Maine, however, cannot suffer Her
great game preserves in the far North
are so superior to anything which the
sportsmen of any other New England
state can hope to promote, even by
the most stringent laws, that there is
not even the remotest possibility of her
losing a particle of the prestige she
now has. Hardly town in Maine is
there that cannot boast of as good
possibilities for sport as the Massac1u-
sets gentleman can expect even after
years of agitation for the enforcement
of the laws now. contemplated.
Massachusetts has not the natural
facilities. and, moreover. nearly every
section of the state is too densely popu-
lated to prove favorable feeding
ground for big game. Maine has all
| the natural advantages and besides
has thousands upon thousands of acres
of wooded lands, inhabited by innum-
cradle big game animals and ponds
and streams which offer to the follower
of Isaak Walton such sport as can be
found in no other spot in all New Eng
land.
| Maine gains millions of dollars every
year as a result of the excellent laws
which she has made governing game
and fish, and every state in the Union
which has any claim as hunting
ground will gain much by following
the example of Massachusetts, who
now shows her appreciation of the
methods which have Rade the Pine
Tree State the goal of all true sports
men.

Plants Received BY Nail.

When the plants are received through
the mail, exercise care to keep them as
fresh as possible, and instead of laying
them out in row for inspection with the
roots exposed to the drying influences of
the air, keep the box or package I'M
ready for the reception of the plants
Take the plants from the wrapping of
moss about the roots one at time, pot
ting them as they are taken out. If the
plants arrive dry and somewhat wilted,
which in very warm weather and with
careless packing sometimes occurs. i'm
merse the plants, root and branch, in tep-
Id water for an hour or so. TO revive

frozen or badly frosted they should be
taken at once to cold room or cellar
and allowed to thaw gradually. Cut off
all frozen or frosted parts, and keep in a
shaded. cool place for few days.

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
Is Explained by the Recent Discovery
 in Kimberly.

The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been a debated question, appears to be explained by recent discovery rear Kimberly. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like a pebble in certain gravelly strata. but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any indication of it's genesis. After the discovery Of diamonds in the river sand on some South African riv- CTS, peculiar material of brownish
 buff color, which turned to a dark biuish tint, was found. It became harder as the miners dug down. The diamonds lay in this material, together with several other minerals, such as garnets, iron ores augite, oliyine, etc. Exeavations-beg unsystematieally were eventually carried on on such scale that near Kimberly they have reached a depth of more than 1 400 feet. Here the rock is about as hard as ordinary limestone The blue ground is found only in limited areas. The rocks around are of dark shales, banded with hard sandstone. in which sheets CT dykes or basa1t or some ma terial which was once in molten con- dition are occasionally found The blue ground fills a sort of shaft of colossal size in these other rocks, and is itself cut up by similar dikes The opinion of gaologists differs as to whether the gems were produced where they now lie CT have been formed of some older rock, which has been shat tered by volcanic explosions. It is. thought that the mystery has been at last cleared up. About two years ago the manager of diamond mine near Kimberly picked up a specimen in which smaller diamonds were appar- entity embedded in garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowl ders, one of which was broken open and WAS found to contain diamonds. The rock is of the description known to minerafogists as "ee1egite. It is apparently composed almost exclusive 1y Of red garnet rock and a rather peculiar light green augite. The rock 10 NottA a1Ay u YaletAA4ilIy tltiA li1 tAl4 pA0D ability was once like garnet in q molt- en condition, the diamond being one of it's original constituents. Experts now tend to the belief that the "blue ground9 in which diamonds were found is net their true birthplace. The powders are often water=mafked, and may have rested for ages in an an- eient gravel at the very bottom of sedi- mentarg rocks of the district In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were embedded, of which the powders were only samples. and dis persed it, together with the overlying materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-bsaring "blue ground" Boston Herald.

cANADA.s GREATEST GLORY.
Vast and Ancient Wilderness That Rests
 the Traveller.


 The greatest glory of Canada is not it's modern progress, but it's vast and ancient wilderness, says Seribner,s. If you weary of the sameness and U rof- ltabteness of everything you know, go where l went last year, to the upper waters of the Ottawa, where the beaver is the master architect and the n oose Is king of the woods. See for yourself. as saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga tineau, appearing to come from widely distant regions, have their origin close together and are twins. Behold these two children of the lakes, nourished from the same generous breast. Trace their courses and see that, though journeying far in widely different di- rections they finally arrive at a com mon destination. Nobody knows all about that headwater country around the sources of the Ottawa. It is prolific game region, where sportsmen rarely go, for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the railroad. There are plenty of deer close to almost any A5dHdaaah Paelne station west of tfen4- broke, and it is not much trouble to get a chance at moose ia two days from Deux RiYieres, Roekcliffe. or Mattawa. Not many hunting parties start from there. either, and I suppose the reason is that for thousands of miles 10 She west the woods, Braities and mountains lie close to Che railroad and afford almost lfmitless opportunis ties. The territory inelosed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been from immemorial times the home Of the Algonquin Indians, and they still remain there, in such primitive inno- cence that they receive no annuity from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States or their brother tribes of Canada.
