THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The Members-EIect as They Are Thus
Far Indicated.

1t will be a day or two yet before
the final detailed returns are in which
show the exact makeup of the next
Maine Legislature, but it is now possi-
Bile to give a list which has very few
doubtful names upon it. 1t appears
that the next Senate will contain "a
Republicans and Democrats, or one
more Democrat than was in the Sem
ate Of two years ago. The Democrats
lose four in Cumberland but gain
three in Penobscot,. one in Lincoln ana
one in Somerset. In the House OF
two years ago there were IS Eepubll-
cans and 63 Democrats and here there
will be a decided change, as there will
be about 81 Republicans and 81 Demo-
Gratis in the next House.

Maine Gossip
In louisiana.

Last night the fairy boatman came
To WAIT me DER the Slunber Sea.
The FREELY lit his lamp of flame
And all the winds slept peacefully,
And swift and far across the deep
To Dreamland sped the fairy barque,
Where the faint lotus flowers of Sleep
Unfold their petals liz the dark.
And sweet the dreams in that dim land.
Rare doors float from magic flowers,
Blossoms nv softest breeZeS famed
SWAY lightly in the dushy hours,
And music never heard before
Steals through the dewy gardens sweet,
And on dim and shadoWy shore
The whispering Wavelets softly beat.
There blooms the mystic asphodel,
That rare and WoEdrous flower, unseen
BY mortal eyes, which poets tell
In heaven upliftS its silvery sheen:
And pale, pure lilies there unclose
Their blossoms in the fragrant DUSK.
And breath of jasmine and of rose
Blends with the orange and the musk.
@ failyland of rest and sleep,
That lies beyond the gates Of Day,
Where youth and love their visions keep,
Ard pleasure holds its gentle sway,
Your magic music soothes the brain
Worn with the daily stress and strife;
Your lotus-bloSSomS ease tn" pain
That comes from all the thorns of life.

This whole section of the State is
much drer at the present time than it
has been this season, even during the
prolonged drought of July. During
that drought the surface was badly
dried and burned, but that condition
did not extend far underneath. Now
the ground is dry and parchcd deep
down, and though the growing season
for crops is finished. they are suffering
for lack Of rain. Fall fruit seems to
be In rather poor condition and to rot
quickly. The woods are dry, and the
dryness extends down through moss
and muck and roots. 50 that everything
is i,rimed for extensive forest fires. The
roads in the country are hardly ever in
worse shape. They are overlaid with
thick dust, and in many places the sur
face is broken away and pulverized.
