The cor respondent made it his duty to gather the news every day and send it to Glasgow every night by telegraph. He made an arrangement with ths op erator at a certain office, by which news was sent to Glasgow at a reduction by the year. One night he arrived at the .lower door at the fool of the stairs leading up into the telegraph office. The door was locked, and he could not open it. The telegraph office was way up to the top ot the building, id thesixth story. The operator had a bed there, to which he re tired promptly at three o’clock, and it was now half-past*two. The operator up stairs yawned and looked at his watch. “Jinkins won’teoifte to night*” said he; “I may as well go to bed.”" And there was poor Jinkenswl the time pounding away on the doos at the loot of the long stairs, unable to get in. “What’s the row?" said a policeman coming along. “rm locked out, saiuJenkin*. Miiere news for my paper—a murder, three fires and a riot—and the door locked i« my face, and I can't get in. What will I do?” So the policeman began hanging the door, but Junes, the operator, up wi his office, was as unconscious ot the tumult as if it had been in the moon. He was whistling to himself at«l yawning prodig iously. ‘Why don’t you go to some bother hof fiee?’’ asked the poliueruan. “No authority to use any other 1106,” said the correspondent. “Ah! I've got it!” he added, and before the policeman could ask what it was, tlie excited Jinkins dash ed off down the street as if a mad dog was after him. Jinkins rushed breathlessly Into another telegraph office, six blocks off, “i say,” said he to the operator, “I’m in a fix. Got news to send off inside of half an hour, and the stupid operator at my office has gone to sleep, and I can’t get in—and—and—and—” “Well, that is a fix.” “Tell you what I want,” said Jinkins. endeavoring to catch his breath; “I want you to telegraph down to Glasgow, and ask the operator there to telegraph up Were to Jones, and bid him come down staim and let me in.” The operator roared with laughter at this, but went at once to his instrument, and began rattliug away at a great rate. This is the message he sent: “Glassgow. Wake Up Jones, Static* X. Tell him Jinkins *t the foot of the stairs, can't get in.” Jones was looking at his watch again, and concluded that ne had better put out the lights and go to his little bed-room across the way, when clatter, clatter, went his instrument. “There's Glassgow calling mq,” said Jones; and hurried to his Instrument and ticked off. “What’s wanting?” Hack came the answer: “Jinkins down stairs—door fast—let him in.” Off went Jones down stairs with a rush; aud at last the anxious Jinkins got up and sent off his news. “Mo you see how a man sent a message through a solid door, aud up four pair of stairs, four hundred miles around, and by way of Glasgow, and within twenty min utes. “Wasn't that four hundred miles up stairs First Letter Foundry In Sew England Commenced in 1817.

ILoral anU i&tate Ketos. We chronicle this morning the death of a well known citizen—Silas Leonard, Esq., who dic3 at his residence in this city yester day morning. Those who subscribed to secure the hold ing of the State Fair in this city the ensuing autumn, will be called upon for their sub scriptions one week from to-morrow, Thurs day, July 14th. We were favored with a call on Saturday from H. L. Weston, editor nnd proprietor of the Petaluma (Cal.) Journal and Argus. Mr. Weston is a native of Bremen in this State, and started on his career as a printer in the Age office in this city, lie has been in the Golden State upwards of twenty years, fifteen of which he has devoted to journalism. He came east with his family to ‘‘rusticate.” We trust his visit will be pleasant. The singing connected with the recent ex ercises of the graduating class in the high school showed the good result* of teaching music in our schools. After listening to the grand chorus “The Swallows,” or the duett by Mendelssohn, so admirably performed by Miss Allen and Miss Folsom, no one could doubtathat the experiment of teaching music in our schools bad proved a success. We hope it may be made a permanent branch of study in both our grammar and high school. The Strawberry Festival at Hallowcll on the evening of the 4th. under the auspices of the Hallowcll Cornet Rand, was a decidedly pleasant and successful affair. There was a large attendance and an abundance of refresh ments. The Band appeared in new uniform, which consists of a nobby dress coat, with parti-colored shoulder knots, and a handsome cap surmounted by a white and red plume. The festi' ities closed with a dance. During the evening the Band rendered excellent music. The second am^ ersary exercises of St. Catharine'* Hall, in this city, arc being held this week. A Baccalaureate sermon was de livered before the school, in St. Mark’s church last evening, a report of which we shall give our readers to-morrow morning. This after noon at three o'clock, will take place the closing exercises of the school, when the young ladies will offer their friends a rich treat. There will be music on the occasion. The young ladies will give a reception in the evening troin 8 to 12 o’clock. We are in formed by llev. Dr. Ballard that the examina tion yesterday showed thorough instruction and was most satisfactory to the friends of the school. The celebration of our national anniver sary at Wiscassetwas a success. Theoration by Rev. Geo. E. Street is pronounced a hap py effort. At the horse race (running) la st 2 in 3, Thos. Call’s horse won the first purse. The boat race was a spirited one and was witnessed by a large crowd. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the comical part of the cele bration commenced, in the exhibition of mus cle in securing a greased pig. and in climbing a greased pole. Thu person who finally caught and won the pig, broke the pig's leg in the performance, and was compelled to slay him on the spot. It was a root hogand die ex hibition. No one was found with sufficient agility to climb the greased pole, and the prize for this exploit slipped through the I hands of those who tried to seize it. We have been reminded recently of a curi ous way of putting a question which we will guarantee is not found in Cushing's Manual or any other first-class works on parliaincn- tarjr rules. A caucus was held in this city many years ago for the nomination of a can didate for Mayor. There was a little contest for the office between the friends of two of our most worthy and respectable citizens who are still tabernacled in the flesh, and bid fair to live yet many years to bless the community. The nomination was secured by a small ma jority, whereupon some person in the minority, as is customary, moved to make the nomina tion unanimous. The chairman, an excellent man, put the question thus “Ail in favor of making the nomination unanimous, by accla mation, Kill please hold up the right hand." The right hands went up and the laughter was unanimous by acclamation, also. Our friends at ttie National Military Asy lum commemorated tlie 94th Anniversary of American Independence in a becoming man ner. Flags were tasteftiHr displayed in the grove by the cemetery, and at ten o'clock a. the Sons of Temperance, escorted by the Grand Army Post, marched from their Headquarters, to the place where, a few weeks since, they decorated the graves of their fallen comrade*. Capt. P. T. Woodfln, President of the day, called the assembly to order. After music by the band, prayer, and appropriate siBging by the choir, addresses were delivered by Chaplain Kelley and Sur gon Stearns upon the subject of temperance. Their remarks were well received by the sol diers and citizens present. .The music both by the choir and band was excellent. Small balloons were sent up in the afternoon, and fire works were exhibited in the evening. On the whole, the day was pleasantly and profit ably spent by onr friends at Togus Springs. The poem before the Alumni of Bates Col lege was delivered by-Rev. W. S. Stockbridge of Gardiner. The poem is an answer to the question, “What is Life The author puts the following words in the mouth of the miser: “O! what is lift,” says he. "why, life is gold, Or, rather, gold is lite; all elsens trash, He only truly lives w ho lives for rash. It natters little, how or when or where The money comes from, if one gets his slinre, Which simply means it’s the duty of man, To keep what he gets, to get what he can. And If by ehanre his poorer neighbor's nook, Or farm, per mortgage, is added to his stock, Let each concede It is all for the best. It’s always wise to let such matters rest.”

The spendthrift thus replies “OI lifr," said he, “what can it be, As tho' you didn't know, Life’s aim and ends and Joy depends On spending as you go, S drinking wine and dressing flue, knowing all toe shifts Of the buffoon and macaroon Our happiness consists.” The poet, after querying representatives of cash and pleasure, gave his own definition of life. He said in closing "Yet 'tie uot given to fathom the plan Which God baa ordained ftu himself and man, Until we have walked that echoless shore, And Zion's Hills have been travelled o’er. s Until then, I say, when the soul shall be f rom its mortal toils eternally free, Shall it be reveuleb why mortals on earth Are in embryo state for an immortal birth.” I I The ever glorious fourth was observed with the utmost quietness in this city. At precise ly twelve o’clock, midnight, Sunday, or a min ute after, s«kthat there could he no mistake and the sanc&y of the Sabbath should he violated, the “celebration” commenced. The boys had previously arranged matters so that several of the bells of the city were at their disposal, and soon there was the sound of church bells, accompanied by music from tin horns, fire-crackers, torpedoes and the sharp crack of the pistol and shot gun. Even these sounds, inharmonious and discordant as they were, did not disturb the peaceful re.-t of the old fellows who had predetermined that they icould not celebrate; and, imprecating a one sided blessing upon the head of Young Ameri ca, turned over into a soft place, and fell “on sleep” again. Sunrise was observed by a legitimate, legalized and time-honored ring ing of church hells, and a salute of thirteen guns at the Arsenal told that Uncle Sam was wide awake. The special train for Skowhe gan, carried off a goodly number of our citi zens who desired a pleasant ride up the Ken nebec to one of the pleasantest villages that sits like a gem upon its banks. Those who went returned greatly pleased with the excur sion. Others went to Portland to witness the introduction of Sebago water, and to get a drink-of it. The praises of “clear cold water" were sung and its virtues discussed. There was also a military display and a boat race. There were still others who availed themselves of the opportunity to take an ex cursion on the beautiful and fast sailing steam er “Ella," and were refreshed with a sniff of i the briny deep. Those who didn't care about getting very far away from home contented themselves with a railroad excur ion to Halloweil and Gardiner. Although there was no such thing as a formal celebration in either of these places, the “Antiques and Horribles” had their morning parade, with full and gro tesque ranks, and there were in both cities several attractions and little side demonstra tions which served as reminders to the patri otic that it was the Fourth of July and that “the Fourth of July was a much better man than St Patrick's day in the morning." But to return to our own city. By nine o'clock in the morning the hoys had spent their last pennies, and had retired to their lioim -s with scorched hair, sore fingers and burnt faces. After this everything settled dow n into peace and quietness, as though the Creator had given us another Sabbath of rest. The enterprising venders of peanuts aud pop beer were well patronized. Quiet walks were taken to differ-! ent parts of the city—the new post office ex amined. and the dam improvements on the river scrutinized. Some of our sturdy country boys had “come down" to see the cir cus hills and the fireworks and “didn't care a darn if they spent the whole nine cents.” This profound quiet was broken at “high noon” by another demonstration from the bells, and a salute of thirty-six guns at the Arsenal. A large crowd were attracted to the Trotting Bark at two o'clock in the afternoon, to wit ness the match game of base ball between a picked nine from the Watervllle clu' bearing the name of “Conglomerates!” and the Ifirigos of this city. The former club showed some line playing, but. as will be seth 9tt: Pirigo, 4 3 2 2 0 7 12 *-3i» Conglomerate, 2 u u 5 0 2 0 2—20 The prize of $jO was given to the Dirigos. i The trotting advertised to come otf did not take place, as no entries had been made for the purses. The setting of the sun was no ticed by a vigorous attack upon the Methodist bell, the sexton determining to do Ids duty, notwithstanding all the other bells w. re silent. In the evening a large crowd of people gath ered on the river’s bank and on almo.-t every prominent point in the vicinity op] ositc the Arsenal, to witness the display of fireworks i which had been prepared on a more extensive sc"alc than for many years. Unfortunately a thick fog settled down over the landscape, completely obscuring the rockets and dimin ishing the brilliancy of all the pieces. In a clear night the display w ould have been mag nificent, but the thick fog marred the effect. Thus closed the Fourth in this city. We nre happy to say that there were lew case* of drunkenness, and w e arc glad that we art not called to the painfn! duty of recording serious accident to life or limb. “A traveler to the grave,” in Monday’s Journal, is right, why a concrete walk should l he made on Green street, “to the gate of Forest Grove cemetery," and no walk of any kind on Winthrop street to the city cemetc 1 rics, is a puzzle to the people, and they re-1 quire from the city authorities some explana tion. The number of visitors to our ceme- teries is very large, strangers as wi ll as our own citizens, amt ninety-nine in a hundred go by Winthrop street, although at the risk of broken limbs and possibly necks. Were it not for a stone curb from Spring -treet to Prospect street that portion of the walk would, with its big stones, little stones and roiling cobble and gravel, be to the pedc irian, a way of penance worthy trie patronage of any old saint: front Prospect street to t! ceme teries the way (not walk, for there none.) is a complete nuisance and burnii.g shame and disgrace to the city, and tin terms in which strangers speak of it, wouhf c tuse the i ears of the whole city government to burn and tingle, as they never did before, could they but hear the remarks that I have heard, j I hope that the Green street walk will be j made, and also one on Winthrop street, yet if but one can be made, the least particle of observation and common sense, will clearly show that it should be on Winthrop ,-t., which will about equally accommodate nl! the cem eteries on laitli sides of the street, the old time honored, holy ground, where the fathers and mothers of the city sleep, the new Mt. Pleasant, by the new road now being made, tlie beautiful Forest Grove and the Catholic. Why, then, should it not be made? We shall see. The last democratic administration deserves credit for the fine sidewalk on Winthrop street, from Pleasant to Spring streets, and it is to be hoped that we shall not be compelled to resort to another democratic city govern ment to secure a proper and creditable walk from Spring street to the cemeteries.
