THE HERALD AND MAINE.
boston Herald. Editorial. I

The Portland Argus remarks, in the
course of a kindly comment on a recent
Herald editorial, that 1.-The Herald is tax.
ing a great interest in Maine affairs
now -o-days." The Argus is right,
The Herald certainly does take q
great interest in Maine affairs,
and with good reason. 1t is not simply
that The Herald has long had many
readers in Maine, loyal constituency
that has been increasing rapidly of late
There are broader grounds for The Her.
AIDS interest in Maine in the recognition
OF the strong ties of history, business
and sentiment that bind Massachusetts
and Maine together, and in the communi
ty of interests such as exists between nc
other States in the Union.
In Massachusetts there are today al
most 100000 natives of Maine, many
thousands more people than any Other
State has contributed to the population
of our commonwealth. 1t is almost as
many as New Hampshire ard Vermont
combined have sent to this State. The
majority Of them are here in Greater
Boston. There are more Maine people
here than in Portland itself, or in Angus
ia, Rockland, Lewiston and Bangor
combined. They are leaders in public
atfairs-as they were when the great
John A. Andrew came from Maine-anC
IN every profession and line of business
They and their children never lose then
loyalty to the home State and its insti
buttons. The 300 Bowdoin men here, fol-
example, have one of the best organized
college alumni associations in the CITY.
Nor has the tide of migration beer
wholly from Maine to Massachusetts.
OF, course, in the earlier days, especially
IN the generation following the revolu
ton, host Of Massachusetts people
. went to the Maine coast and up the rive,
valleys, and the movement has never
! ceased altogether. In Maine there are
now about 10000 natives Of Massachu-
sets, according to the 1910 census, far
more people than Massachusetts has con-
trlbuted to the population of any other
State, and more than all the other New
England States combined have contrib
uted to Maine. Moreover, there are the
unnumbered thousands of Massachusetts
people who are summer residents of
Names summer paradise.
Maine and Massachusetts have had a
peculiar community of interests since
the first explorers sklrted the coast four
centuries ago. 1t was a Maine Indian,
Samoset, who, having been on a trip to
Europe with traders to the Maine coast,
came up here through the wilderness
and welcomed the Pilgrims at Plymouth
with words of broken English that stu
pified the Pilgrims with amazement
Later, only the corn from Pemaquid and
the rich flu, trade of the Kennebec saved
the Plymouth colony from extinction.
Then in the course of years trick of
history made Maine a part of Massa-
chusetts, and because it was 1.-THE Dis
trict of Maine" for generations it is now
commonly spoken of as the State Of
Maine"-a dignified prefix to the name
of the State that is not used with any
other. 1t is now close to century since
the separation took place, but in many
things there has never been, and will
never be, any separation.

Annals of Belfast for Half a
Century.
BY AN OLD SETTLER
(Hon. VIM. G.. Crosby.)

DEDICATION
To Her
Who for nearly half a Century has
been to him kind and loving wife, this
volume, containing the "Annals of Bel
fast for Half Century," is dedicated
by the ANNALIsT.
Belfast, Mar. 4, 1875.
PREFACE.
These Annals of Belfast for the Half
Century commencing with 1SO5-the
year in which the Annalist was born
and terminating with 1854, were compiled
for publication in The Republican Jour
nal. The firse chapter appeared in the
issue of January l, 1874, the last in that
of February Is, 1875. The publication
of them was suspended for several weeks
in the winter of 1874 on account of the
illness of the Annalist.
He has labored from the commence
ment of the work to abbreviate and con-
dense his material. fearing that his read
ers would become wearied; this must
constitute his apology for passing over
with brief notice events which were
worthy OF larger consideration, and for
emitting to notice many which were we'll
worthy of a place in the annals. He
looks to the Historian of Belfast to sup
ply his omissions and to correct his err
rors. w. &C.

Keep The Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any disturb.
ance of the even balance of health causes
serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful to
keep this balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weakness. or
debility. The system needs tonic, Graves it,
and should not be denied it; and the best tonic
of which we have any knowledge is Hoods
oarsaparilla. What this medicine has done in
keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as a preventive that it enjoys as
a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wis
dom of the old saying that stitch in time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.

COUGHS AND CONSUMPTION.

Coughs and colds, when neglected. al ways
lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The
wisest thing to do when you have a cold that
troubles you is to get bottle of DR.. Kings

first dose, and finally the cough will disappear.

A southeast gale set in the 3rd of
March with rapidly falling tempera
ture, and the next morning it was blow
ing great guns and singing cold. Dust
swept through the streets in clouds and
even gravel was carried by the wind and
pelted one like hail A military company
had stacked their arms in front of the
Elbett House and the guns were blown
down ana scattered like jackstraws. The
steamer Lady of the Lake which left
Fortress Monroe the afternoon of the Bird
with a detachment of artillery to take
part in the parade, weathered the storm
with great difficulty. Her commander,
Capt. Partridge, was Maine man, as
was the purser, Mr.. Fairbrother, and
that nights experience cost Capt. Par
fridge his life. A rheumatic fever left
him helpless and months later | saw him
on the boat in wheel chair, the wreck
of his former self He died within a
year. On the boat We're Capt Joshua
A. Fessenden of the artillery, and Mrs.
Fessenden, and | have often heard both
speak Of the terrors of that night on the
storm tossed Potomac.
As may be supposed the parade was
carried out under difficulties. The cadets
from West Point were without overcoats
and felt the cold severely. But the Naval
cadets had perhaps the hardest time.
They were turned out at Annapolis at
a. m. to take the train for Washington,
marched all day in the bitter cold with
out food. and had to wait several hours in
a cold station for the train that was to
take them back to Annapolis. Several
benumbed with the cold.
The last of the copy" had been wired
to New York and we were seated in the
World office about midnight when Miss
Snead drove up with her report of the
ball. We had all decided not to go, but
she persuaded US to the contrary, and as
she lived'near by and had no further use
for the carriage we got aboard and
started for Judiciary Park. We went
first to the press headquarters, where we
found every facility for newspaper work
and a well stocked boutfet, at which
some of the "boys" were fortifying
themselves for the ordeal of the ball
. room. The gas had been kept burning
during the day, but all attempts to heat
the immense room were unavailing. Still
some of the ladies braved the arctic at
mosphere in the regulation ball dress.
while others chung to their furs and
wraps. 1t was the same with the men.
Some were in dress suits, some in over
coats. There was not much dancing.
People walked about or stood in groups
chatting. The decorations were fine
and the affair would have great success
with milder temperature. Many of the
costly and elaborate dishes on the supper
table were untouched and there must
have been food enough for twice the
number Of people who partook.
1t was estimated later that the death
roll resulting from the cold and exposure
at this inauguration reached the hun
dreds. GAP.
