IN MEMORY OF HENRY R. DAWSON.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Will
you allow little space in The Journal for
an old comrade to say few words in men,
DRY of H. R. Dawson of Monroe, who re-
Gently passed out of our ranks? Comrade
Dawson was born in the town of Bradford,
England, on the 10th of November, 1843 He
came to thi1 country in 1s47 and went to
work in the mills at the age of seven. When
the Civil war broke out he enlisted in the 18th
Massachusetts Infantry and served four
years. He was mustered out in 1865 after
four years of continuous service. He was
wounded at Balls Bluff and taken prisoner
in 1861; wounded at Gettysburg in 1868,
and shot through both legs in the battle Of
the Wilderness. He came to Maine in 1870
and settled in Monroe. He was very much
interested in the Grand Army and served
many years as the Commander of E. NJ.
Billings Post and was commander when he
died. He represented his class in the Leg
islature Of 1891 as faithfully as he served
his country from 81 to '65. He was one of
the most prominent and highly esteemed
residents of his town. He died, as he had
liNods anu ItSp0Cteu ny dll WHO
knew him. 1t was my lot and privilege to
orm an early acquaintance with Contradict
Dawson, meeting with him in the G. A. R.
Posts, in the grange, in the Waldo County
Veteran Association, which he served three
successive terms as president, and at his
pleasant home in Monroe. To meet him
was to respect him, to know him was to
love him. He served his country faithfully
in its time of need, was true to the old flag
when its life hung upon single thread
true to every walk in civil as well as in mill
tary life, a good Christian and temperance
man-what more can be said of him. He
has gone from our midst. The places that
have known him in the past will know him
no more. Let US respect his memory; and,
my dear comrades, let US strive to live so
near to each other, so faithful to our coun-
try and our God, that when the time comes
for us to go it may be said of us as can be
well and truly said OF Comrade Dawson,
well done good and faithful servant.

Thomaston Captains Rescue.

John Burgess, a sailor, who was going to
Maine where he had signed as member of
a crew of an outgoing vessel, jumped over
board from the steamer City of ROckland in
Broad Sound, and was picked up by Capt.
Walter Spencer of the Rockland schooner
S. j. Lindsay, on her way into port. The
Lindsay sails out of Thomaston. From the
story told by Capt. Spencer, his vessel was
about 400 feet distant from the City Of Rock
land when he suddenly saw the man jump
up on the railing and make dive overheard.
The skipper of the Lindsay lost no time,
but manned boat himself and pulled out
to where Burgess was struggling in the
water. With some difficulty Capt Spencer
pulled the half-drowned man into the boat
and quickly rowed him to the Lindsay. He
anchored off the Commonwealth docks,
South Boston, intending to hand him over to
the police, as he declared Burgess was
drunk. But Burgess did not give him time.
He decamped. -Thomaston Herald.
This is the incident of which mention was
made in the Journal last week.

fyou ask a grocer for pure molasses he
smiles audibly. The men who sell mo-
lasses to the grocer say that there is no
such thing as pure molasses in the mar
ket. The writer is of the opinion that
N GLASSES is less used than formerly, for
which there would seem to be good rea-
son. The article on New Orleans mo-
}asses from the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
in another column, is of interest in this
connection. Bread and molas ses, fried
haSty pudding and molasses, and many
other dishes in which molasses was an
important ingredient, are seldom heard
the lumbermen lived on pork and mo-
lasses and they came out of the woods
in the spring after hard winters work
as fat as pigs. Strange to say while
n ew Orleans molasses was so popular
in New England those who lived on the
sugar plantations of Louisiana would
not use it. What they did use was
syrup from the third boiler in the
process of sugar making, a liquid as
clear as amber and with little more
body than glass of beer. And this
recalls the New Orleans sugar, which
seems to have gone the way of the New
Orleans molasses. and which the "brown
sugar. of today in no way resembles.
When new this Louisiana sugar had
the flavor of maple sugar and the sweet
ness of honey. If the pure food law
brings back these once staple articles
it will not have been enacted in vain.

Hon. George Foster Talbot, lawyer
editor, author and one of the leading
men of Maine, died at his home in Port
land Aug. 18th, aged IS years. At the
time of his death Mr.. Talbot was one
of four surviving members of the Chi
cago convention that nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln. He was born in East
Machias, one of a family that has long
been prominent in Maine and distiu-
guished in many ways. The deceased
had held many positions of honor and
trust and maintained his interest in
public affairs until the last. In the
sketches of his life given by the daily
papers we find no mention of the fact
that he was editor of The National
Union, daily paper started in Wash
ington, D. c., in the los by Hon. John
Lynch, formerly member of Congress
from the first Maine district. The VIII
ter was employed on the same paper,
which through a mistaken business
policy had comparatively short ex-
istence.

The Belfast journal is getting the
Civic League Record and Rowell's
Printers Ink mixed, though the Rec
ord did give it wide publicity (?) by
copying the Standardization News.
Oh no. The mixing was not ours.
The Civic League Record did refer to
Printers Ink in the opening sentence,
but used no quotation marks in what
followed, and if the language through
out was that of Printers Ink it was
adopted by The Record as its own
kissing goes by favor It's said, and so
does classification by an agency publ
cation with which a newspaper direc-
tory is affiliated. The editor of the
Record ought to know something of
the Maine newspapers, and with that
knowledge his adoption of a classical
ton from prejudiced source should
rank with an original otfense.
