THREE GENTLEMEN OF NEW YORK. Pos
sibly the two wide extremes Of "the milk
of human kindness were never more forci
bly, displayed than BY two incidents, the
one charming, and the other despicable be-
yond description which occurred at North
port on Monday morning. Colonel Conk-
ling of New York, who seems to spend his
summers in making others enjoy life, char
tered hayrack and took all the children for
ride. Not alone the little ones of his
friends, but, as at the wedding feast, he
searched the highways and byways and
gathered in the members Of the great I'M
washed, and gave them all royal good
time. The picture of the hayrack, as it re-
turned, the children shouting and waving
their flags. and Col. Conkling, the object of
their cheers, standing heaming ana happy
in their midst, was such as to make any
man wish to 90 and do likewise. A little
scene of very different description which
occurred on the North Shore short time
afterwards, was well calculated to make
one believe that selfshness and an utter dis
| regard for humanity were the principal in
gradients in the makeup of mankind. Two
New York gentlemen had just rowed
ashore when woman Of the middle classes,
clad in loose wrapper and crying as though
her heart would break, stopped them to say
that she feared her little boy was out on the
old wreck, which lies about hundred feet
from the North Shore. The gentlemen
remaining silent, she begged that one of
them row out and see if her boy was there,
AS they stood gazing at each other, viii lie
the woman sobbed second woman came
up and entreated them again to CO. offering
to pay them any sum. Had it not been so
pitiful, it would have been amusing; those
two women in calico wrappers Offering re-
ward to to these immaculate gentlemen"
in white duck trousers. Remarking that
their craft was only skiff they advised the
women to go farther for assistance, and
placidly proceeded to their cottage, where,
no doubt, they We're pleased to see that her
fears We're groundless, as her little son came
running from the woods to ease her mind.
If more New Workers, instead of attending
so much to the art of dancing, would learn
of Col. Conkling a little kindness and hu-
mainly the world would be better off.

Preparations are in progress for number
of excursions to the Heights from various
points next Sunday.
Sunday, July 23j, was gala day at Tenn
pie Heights and crowds were on the ground
all day. The steamer Catherine came from
Bangor and the river ports loaded with pas
sengers and accompanied by the Winterport
Band: the Merryconeag brought a crowd
and band from Rock land, and the Castine
made six trips from Belfast, loaded each
time. She had the Lincolnville Band The
railroad excursion from Waterville, which
was advertised, did not come. A great many
people came with teams. W. 81. Clifford of
Belfast counted 200 teams pass his house on
Northport avenue, going south, inside of

collision of teams, but no person was hurt
The restaurants and boarding houses were
worked to their utmost capacity, and many
took lunches at their teams, on board the
