A Visit to Northport.

tbu Wednesday morning, Aug. 49, 1893, we
took the steamer Sedgwck at her Bangor
wharf for a t1ip down the river to the North
port campgrodnd This was our second
visit the first was made in the summer of
1865 to attend and enjoy the exercises and
Influences Of an old-fashoned Methodist
campln etir z. in which Brothers Pratt, Beal,
Church, Curtis, Prince harrington, and
Helmershawsen Were the leading spirits
1t was in Gods first temple, the grove.
There was a stand for the preachers and
benches for the hearers and some twenty or
more cotton tents for temporary homes for a
week Of worship, with an invitation to all to
come without money and without price and
worship God. Now We approached the
wharf We saw the hillside dotted with beau
tlIui summer cottages, and at the head of the
principal avenue extending from the wharf
up the hillside was a fine hotel. Extending
across the wharf aud guarding the approach
to these grounds was a gate well guarded,
and none were allowed to pass until they
had paid an entrance fee. AS we passed
along the streets We observed every indica-
zion that this has been made a place for
pleasure and rest. 1t is true that after some
enquiry which seemed to excite surprise we
were directed to the auditorium where re-
llgiOus services were held and where the
old-fashlOned camp stand and benches had
given place to the modern church, and where
we had the pleasure of listening to an in
Gerestlng sermon by Dr. Fhllnp OF Connec-
Licut. The going and returning to Bangor
was devoted to observing the changes along
tst2e river that the last thirty years had
wrought.
The ever varied but never changing land
marks of the beautiful Penobscot Valley is
good to look upon. The introduction of the
beautiful summer cottages and residences
along its banks add new interest to the
scene; and one sees here as everywhere that
as time passes, men with all else change
and that, in a short life time, social, moral
and religious conditions cannot stand still
while rapid strides have been made in fnan.

TIDE HAS TURNED.
London Papers Say 1t Is Coming Drsy-
fus' Way Now.

London. August 1s.-The despatch to
the Morning Post from Rennes indicates
the activity of the censorship there. Gan.
Msroier's insulting reference to Emperor
william and certain alIusions to the SO
cret dossier were suppressed.
The correspondents Of TIE London
morning newspapers are. however. unani-
nous in tho opinion that the tide has
finally turned in favor Of Dreyfus. The
evidence (Thursday), was so favorable
to him that even some Of the anti i-Drey-
fusitss would fain admit that the scales
are falling from their eyes.
Madame Henry's dramatic characteriza-
tion Of III. Bertullus as Judas" failed
of the intended effect, because he imme-
diately handed Col. Jouast, president Of
the court martial, an anonymous letter
that he had received, proving the whole
scheme pre-arranged.
All the correspondents remarked the
grateful demeanor Of Dreyfus on hearing,
for the first time, witnesses In his favor.
The correspondent OF the Daily Chroni-
ole predicts that Dreyfus will be recon
demned and that the sentence will be Inn
mediately commuted through fear Of ex-
oitement and uprisings incidental upon
an acquittal.
