JUDGE KNowlToN The daily papers of Fri
day last announced the appointment by Gov.
Plaisted of Wayland Knowton, Esq, as judge
of the municipal court of Belfast which under
act of the last legislature succeeds the police
court and which legislates out of office Judge
Reuel w. Rogers, who had eleven months to
serve of the term for which he was appointed.
Other candidates for the place were Fred W.
Brown, ESQ.,, F. A. Greer, Esq, and M. W.
Lord. Mr. Greer had the endorsement of
eighteen or nineteen of the 81 members of the
Waldo county bar of the Democratic commit
tee men of all but two of the towns in the
county, of Congressman S. W. Gould, and was
otherwise strongly supported. He is Demo-
crat, has always been Democrat, and his
father was a Democrat The successful cam
didate had the support of one member of the
Waldo county bar and petition signed
by few citizens. His political experience
has been varied and peculiar, and his qualifica
lions for the office can hardly be said to be
superior to those of his legal rivals for the
position 1t looks as though a Democratic
boss was very much in evidence in this case,
and that one man proved mightier than the
many.

MONTANA MATTERS We make the follow
ing extracts from personal letter dated BoZe-
man, Mont, June 18th: Had radishes from
the garden today, and have had spinach (self-
sown from last year, twice. If you'll send US
some Penobscot River salmon for dinner the
4th, we'll almost promise to send back some
green peas Have peas in blossom, now. This
seems to be great place for birds. Several
pairs of robins and bluebirds, some sparrows
and meadow larks, have nestled down here and
are very tame. The latter have the prettiest
song of any bird I have ever heard. l think
gopher has added himself to the menagerie
I've seen one around here for two days. Speak

ed some grayling. You know that this vicinity
is one of the three places on this continent
where grayling are found We did not know
it, or know the grayling, but learned from the
encyclopedia that it is member of the sal
mon family. Here is verse from Tennysons
Brook:

With here blossom sailing,
And here and there lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling.
