E. Navon's Lecture at the Baptist Church.

One Of the most interesting lectures
that the Missionary Society of the Bap-
fist church ever brought forth for an
audience in its vestry was given.
Thursday evening, by Z. Navon, a He
brew, whose home is in Jerusalem and
who has but recently conquered the
English language, so that he has an ac-
cent that is very pleasing. He spoke of
the people and their customs in a way
that was exceedingly interesting.
Several of the young ladies and gem
tlemen of the society were dressed to
represent the people Of that country.
and he had many of the utensils and
odd articles of clothing and other
things which he showed and explained
their meaning. Then he explained parts
of the Bible in manner that was en-
tirely new and threw light upon many
matters that had never before been
understood by the greater number of
his listeners.
The interest in the evening was as
intense to the visitors as to the mem
bers of the church.

One OF Very Brightest Of Names Aged People
An Augusta Lady.

The Portland Argus of Tuesday had
the following to say of Mrs. Mary
Murphy of this city, who is one Of the
smartest of aged people in this State:
Mrs. Mary Murphy, who arrived in
Portland, this week, to pass the sum
mer months with her children, is one
of the smartest and brightest of
Names old people, if indeed she has
rival in the State among the men and
women who are on the last score years
Of centenary. Mrs. Murphy is in her
Goth year. yet her faculties are as keen
as ever while physically the infrmities
of old age are quite unknown to her.
She has never felt the need OF
glasses, with the assistance of grand
daughter does the homework for
family of six, and. no matter how long
the journey. travels unattended.
Ever since the death of the Wife Of
her son John some 13 years ago she has
been a member of his household at Au
guSta, giving a mothers care to his
children. Her immediate offspring
numbered Il and thus she has been the
best friend to Is boys and girls, all of
whom have loved her as a good mother
alone can inspire the blessed affection.
She has been widow q years.
Mrs Murphy's visit to Portland will
be the occasion for a reunion Of five
generations. OF her u children seven
are living, four sons and three daugh-
terS and she has besides 10 grand
children, a great grandchildren and
one great great grandchild. With the
exception of John. Mrs. Murphy's chill
dren reside in Portland, they being
James, Mrs. Catherine Mitchell, Mrs.
Margaret Hawkins, Michael, Mrs.
Charles r. Williams and William II.
All are naturally proud of their bright,
smart old mother who has 50 long been
spared to them-a joy to themselves,
their children and their children's
children.

A Communication Relative 10 the Excursion
for the Poor.

/ saw by Tuesdays Journal that the
citizens have already been requested to
send in their contributions for the annual
excursion, given expressly for the worthy
poor, for such we nave always with u.s.
and we are glad we can in this way, il
in no other, show our appreciation OF
their wOrthiness.
This call makes still another full as
necessary, for ii must be remembered
that it is no small task to get together
100 and more children, for there were
many more than this number last year
and supply their needs for such an outing.
Now if the good people who contributed
so generously last year with clothing will
again send their contributions to the
rooms Of the w. c. I. u. as early as pos
sible, they will confer a great favor upon
the committee We ask especially for
shoes, all sizes. We can as rule mt the
child to the shoe. The shoe dealers have
been very kind to supply US at reduced
rates, and some have given thfm TO us.
We are thankful for past favofs IN this
direction and should be glad if any felt
it a privilege to repeat the favor.
Some may not feel able to give money
for the excursion, and yet desire to have
part in 50 worthy an object, and such
can be of great help in the way specified
above. for everything wearable will be
acceptable. IL. L.

OFFICERS TO FILE CLAIMS.
They Believe the Ruling Of War Department,
Applies to Them.

III IS SAID that some of the officers ~
the LIST Maine Volunteers are thinking or
filing applications for claims upon the
war department for pay. They were nor
paid in full for the time they were in ser
vice, but always supposed they could not
collect 1t. Now that the decision of the
auditors department of the war depart
ment has been received stating that n
soldier is entitled to pay to the day he
was mustered out in case the DELAY was
not of his own request, the officers be-
lieve it means them as fully as it does the
enlisted men.
1t has been thought by many that the
officers received full pay to the date thay
were discharged and that was not until
long In January. Captain Lovejoy of CO.
r, was not mustered out until January
10 of the present year, and yet he was
paid only to October 50 Of 1895. the time
when his command was mustered out A.
company commander he was obliged to
stay in the service until all his account S
had been audited and approved. 1t re-
CURED him several weeks with clerk
after the men were mustered out to ar
range all the red tape required. yet he
received no pay for it.
The case is similar with all the other
company commanders. The other officers
of the regiment We're as a rule mustered
out sometime in November, thus there
would be but part of month during
which they received no pay, but to the
company commanders it was different.
Adjutant General Richards will return
to his office, Saturday, so it is thought,
and when he does there he will find sew
eral applications for the claim blanks
that he so considerably sent to the war
department and obtained for the use Of
the men.
The men of Co. + almost as a whole,
will apply for the extra pay. This
amounts not only to the nine days pay,
but also includes the ration allowance for
the time and the clothing allowance, so
that to each man of Co. +. who applies
there will be something like $40 coming
1t is certainly worth trying for, consider
ing the fact that it entails no cost to
file the claim If it is not allowed they
lose nothing.

Caterpillar Parasite.

An Augusta lawyer who thinks he
knows more farming than law, has
made some interesting observations on
the forest caterpillar. In examining 30
cocoons he found on % of them patches
of white eggs laid on the leaf near the
web surrounding the cocoon. 1t was
evident that these eggs Matched rapid
~, for on 10 Gocoons he found in each
a worm. or grub whose habit seemed
to be to bore into the cocoon and to
eat through the caterpillar lengthWise.
This may be the natural enemy that
has come to destroy the pest. We
might add that our agricultural and
legal friend made these observations
upon his native Heath.
