The Closing of an Heroic Chapter.

Some one has sent to The Republican
copy of the Belfast (Me.) Republican
Journal which, in it's Searsport items,
makes note Of the last of our American
clipper ships, as follows:
The ship Aryan, built in Phippsburg,
Me-, in 1893, by C. V. Minot & Co., of
2l23 tons, and the last ship built of wood
in the United States, and the only ship
of its class now sailing under the Amer
lean flag and built of wood now on the
passage from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco, coal laden, is commanded by Capt.
Albert 7. Whittier of Searsport, and the
sole owner of the ship is Eugene P. Car
yer of Boston, the well-known marine
lawyer, who is also native of Sears
port. Capt. Whittier is the only Sears
port commander of a full-rigged ship
now afioat, "a striking contrast to the
year 1885, when Sc full-rigged ships, or
one-tenth of all sailing under the Amer
lean flag, were commanded by Searsport
capt aims
How reminiscent is the above of the
fine old days of wooden ships, wherein

THE LITTLE FARM IN MEXICO.

The Oxford County Citizen of last week
contained an interesting write-up of the
farm of 7. l.. Weeks in Mexico. When
in sight of the farm house the writer
says: ''The first reflection of the modern
methods of farming is seen in the splen-
did fruit trees that are along the lane,
and distributed all about the farm. Not
a neglected tree, not a dead or diving
limb was to be seen. The fair looking
fruit was welcome sight The build
ings, while not of modern style, are well
kept, and bear the impress of care" In
walking about the farm Mr. Weeks said:
"Now ] want you to see this bed of on

raise 300 bushels to the acre. Sow the
seed thick and do not thin out the plants.
Let them grow as they will. They are
not affected by light frosts and they are
the last crop | harvest" The onions
grow in punches, several on each stalk,
and to the inexperienced man seem to be
crowded for room, but they are not, and
the mistake many make is in thinning
out the plants to give them room. If
thinned they grow to stalk, and the onion
will be smaller than the several that
naturally grow on each stalk. This sea-

Sale of Waldo County Farm,

The West Montville correspondent of
the Bangor Commercial says: cit is re-
ported that M. L. Merry of Washburn,
Aroostook county, has bought farm of
100 acres in Thorndike of Wilbur Doliff,
the purchase price being s14OO. This
farm, in the Judgment of the buyer, is in
all respects as desirable as farms in IA
vorable locations in Aroostook which
would cost $4,000. Mr.. Merry has lived
for over a score of years in Aroostook
county, and is sure he is making no mis-
take in changing his location. This shows
Waldo county people that they have good
farms and have no need to go to Aroos-
took to buy one or to raise potatoes.
But not many of our best farms will be
sold at the low figure of S1,4OO No
doubt many here are willing to sell nice
farms, with nice buildings in nice loca-
ton to Aroostook purchasers, but not
many will sell for the price the above
gentleman bought his for at Thorndike. -

visible evidences of the LOYALTY of the
women of the South to the Confederacv
while 1t was battling for life, and of the
sympathy their daughters and grand
daughters feel for ''the lost cause" The
exhibition of the devices to which the
Confederate women were driven when
all the "men folks were at the front
and the blockade was drawing its coils
tighter, is pathetic in its illustration of
the efforts to make necessities satisfy
tastes formed on Injuries. The Cohfed-
crate cloth, hand woven and dyed with
such "e1tracts" as could be substituted
for chemicals; the rough dresses bearing
improvised finery, either of deity fash
Toned remnants or of coarse substitutes
on which refinement had lavished inge-

OF siege, with the women of the besieged
doing their utmost to help the defenders
and setting brave faces towards the en-
circling foe.
If the Southern women deserve honor
at the hands of the Confederate veterans
and their descendants, the women of the
North ought not to be forgotten for d
moment IN weighing the moral values
OF the Union cause. True, they never

the cause. Let him whose memory goes
back to the North in war time summon
up the recollections of that period, and
there will come up pictures Of scores of
women gathered together in some hushed
room, silently ''scraping lint or making
