Farrington's Map of Maine.

The latest and best map of Maine, is that
recently issued by Col f. c. harrington. 1t
is more than map; it is an encyclopedia of
the State as well. Not only are the rail-
roads and lakes marked, but the distance
between stations on the railroads is indca-
ted, and more than that it can be told at a
glance what kind of fish may be caught in
each lake. These are but few of the
different points that make it of such value
that great demand is expected, not only
from schools and town institutions but also
from fishermen and sportsmen from other
States. An index for ready reference goes
with the map,so arranged that all the places
can be found quickly. Not only this, but
every shire town, money order, postoffice,
express, telegraph, the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph stations, and the East
ern Telephonehnd their connections with the
Franklin Telephone Companys stations, the
pOpulatonby counties and towns for 1896, rail
road and steamboat lines are indicated. The
maps are put at price which will bring them
within the reach of anyone, the wall map and
index book of information selling for s.,
the pocket map for IS cents, and the map in
veneer case for So. Mrs. George f. Brack-
EFT of Belfast has the agency for the sale Of
these maps in Waldo and Hancock counties,

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
The Addition During the Year May Exceed
431 ,846 Tons.

The Bureau of Navigation says that
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900.
the total tonnage of shipping officially
numbered, amounted to 4l7,O34 gross
tons. Full returns from Honolulu will
not be received for fortnight, but
about $4,000 tons of Hawiian vessels
were entitled to American documents
under the act of Congress creating the
Territory of Hawaii. Porto Rican YES
sells were also by act of Congress EN-
titled to American documents, but
they aggregate less than 1000 tons.
Complete figures will probably show
that the actual additions to the Amer
lean merchant fleet during the year
have surpassed the 437, S46 gross tons
documented during the fiscal year 1874,
when the law required all canal boats in
dom site trade to be documented. In
that event the addition to our merchant
fleet during the fiscal year will have
been greater than during any year since
1856. The figures will be slightly re-
duced by the fact that the issue of
official numbers and of marine docu-
ments are not simultaneous
The vessels built in the United States
and officially numbered during the year
aggregate 3S1,s63 gross tons. This
record was surpassed in 1874, when

"UNCLE REMUS" AS A POET.

\ recent issue of the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post contained a
poem by Joel Chandler Harris, better
known as Z ncle Remus. In the in
PRODUCTION it is said In the early
seventies occasional poems appeared in
the savannah News over the modest
initials, ~ G. H. They We're good
poems. and it was known that the
author was a Young man who had come
from the country to edit the State
news department of the Savannah
paper, etc. The poem which followed,
Juiiette. is said to have been .'one of
his earliest poetical efforts" This is
not correct. In the sixties Mr.. Harris
had his first, and probably last, bohe-
milan experience, in New Orleans, and
was frequent contributor of verse to
the Sunday papers of that city. Neither
then nor while engaged on the Savannah
paper did he strike the vein of negro
lore which later led to fame and fortune
That happened after he had moved to
Atlanta and joined the staff of the
to New Orleans, where Mr.. Harris had
gone from his home in rural Georgia to
fill an engagement with VIM. Evelyn,
publisher of the short-lived Crescent
Monthly and of other literary ventures.
The Crescent City then, and for years
before, was an ideal place for young
literary man, and verse seemed the
natural mode of expression. In a scrap
book have several of the poems of Mr..
Harris, with those of his contemporaries
of that day Swinburne had just then
dawned upon the literary world, and
there is more than trace of his must
cal rythm in one of these poems. Here
is one of them:
THE SEA WIND.
o sweet south wind! soft south wind,
. wind from off the sea
When you blow to the inland ports of home
Kiss my love for me.
And when you have kissed her, sweet
south wind,
Tell her | never forget
For the pale white mists of parting tears
Are floating round me yet.
Tell her l sit all day and dream
OF the joys that time might bring
Till the old love poems afOat in my heart
Meet together and sing.
And the tune-O wind-that they sing and
sing
with burst of passionate rhyme)
Is 'The Lovers Prayer"-a sweet sad air
A song Of the olden time.
Touch her lips lightly, sweet south wind,
AS should, were there:
And dry up the tears in her violet eyes,
And play with her purple hair.
O soft south wind! 0 sweet south wind :!
O wind from off the sea-
When you blow to the inland ports of home
Kiss my love for me.
We read the other day that "Uncle
.Remus" has resigned from the staff of
the Atlanta Constitution that he might
have more time to play with his grand
children. This is hard to realize, for
when the above, and many other love
lyrics were written he was gay young
bachelor.
