Neveritl .Noted Temperance Worker* in Attendance—Interesting Speeches. [Special to the Kennebec Journal.] (’ami* Groikd, Aug. 13. The temperance campmeet ing was con tinued at the ground* today. The address of the morning was made hy Uev. W. S. McIntyre, president of the asso ciation. He said To sustain public senti ment un moral questions it is necessary to have groat meetings where the facts relating to the progress of the work, and the hinder ances in the way may be discussed hy the human voice. Kvery department is of great importance, whether it be the educational, j moral or legal. I want to call your attention to some of the hinderances in the way of the I prosecution of th.* law One great difficulty is in the disposition of the cases after the judge ha* sentenced the criminal*. Several cases that were before the l*enob«cot county supreme court were cited a* illustrations. VVinefred Mclsaac had been before that court by appeal from the municipal court on search and seizure, seven t.ines within two years, and had paid nothing. Her case was con tinued from court to court, and finally dinie yea s ago Stephen Desnoyes, ot this city emigrated to the western states with his wife and boy, about five years old. After some time be retired from business having become the owner of landed property. In the meantime his son. now a young man. left home for adventures in New Mexico. Desnoyes died leaving no will, and his next of kin applied tor and received letters of ad ministration. He was, however, not allowed to remain in undisputed possession as another relative, who in the event of young Desnoves’ death or illegitimacy of his birth would be entitled to all tin* property, commenced suit, sotting forth that the young man known as Desnoyes was not the law ful son of the de ceased that while a baby in the cradle another child was substituted for Desnoyes by a woman who was a near neighbor and w ho had adopted the rightful son, and that after some years the hoy who was stolen died and was buried in the east, while the child who was put in place of the true son grew up without the Desnoyes family ever noticeing the difference between the children as their ng»*s and complexions were the same. It is said that the witnesses here have come for ward and confessed the crime. They will be examined on the part of the plaintiff by Mr. Frank. A BOTTLE.

The Second Day*# Race* in the National Amateur Roning Association Regatta. Boston, Aug. 13. Between 10 ard 15,000 people witnessed the final contests in the 13th annual regatta ot the National Association of Amateur Oars men, on the Charles river, today. The river covered with all sorts of boats, and the baleonirs and verandas of thp various boat houses were filled with spectators, many ladies being present. The conditions for excellent sport were favorable as could have been wished for, with the exception that on the upper end, or starting point of the course, w here the wind, which had again became gusty, had free sweep over the river, the water was somewhat lumpy. With these favorable circumstances, the second day's rowing of the regatta, or the regatta itself, would have been successful as any in the history of the association, had it not been for the disagreeable termination of the double scull race. As it was, however, the perfect success of the day, and of the regatta, was marred bv a most unpleasant squabble. In the double scull contest the crews were as follows: M. F. Monohan, bow, 1 H. Monohan, stroke, representing the Albany Rowing Club of Albany, N. V.; O. J. Dolan, bow, C. J. Porter, stroke. Middlesex Rowing I Club of Camhndgeport, Mass.; II. M. Nash, i bow, and J. W. Laver, stroke, City Point Rowing Association, Boston; D. J. Murphy and J. 11. O’Neil, Crescent Boat Club, Boston. The Crescents had the best of the start, and quickly obtained a lead of a length over the Middlesex crew, w ho were about halt a boat’s length in front of the Albany men. w uh the City Points close behind, on the t outside of tite Albany boat. As Murphy and O'Neil spurted to the lead, the Middlesex crew’rowi d into th Albany men's water, w hile the City Point**, bv fl inking the Mono bans *oi th opposite side, prevented them from rowing over to avoid a foul w ith the Middlesex Thus foul became inevitable. Lither one or the other of the local crew s and Monohans. The Middles x crew made a foul, one of their sculls striking the wind rail on the Albany shell, and knocking it athwartship, where it remained an obstruction throughout th*- race, d'he Monohans stopped rowring when fouled by the Middlesex pair, but w hen thev had clear w ater resumed the struggle. By the foul thev lost some dozen It ngths and although they did some magni ficent rowing over the remainder of the remainder of the course, the lead obtained by the Crescent pair was too great to be over come. As it was they were only beaten by the Crescents by two lengths. As the foul occurred just after the start the spectators near the finish did not see it and the w inning pair were heavily cheered. Monohan at one* put in a claim of foul and Referee Shaw, after reserving his decision until after the last race had been contested, allowed tha claim and ordered the race rowed over. There were exciting scenes among the spectators and groups of interested parties in the boat houses When the particulars of the fouling became know there wire many assertions that the fouling was the result of a cotnbin lion between the three local crews to defeat the crew and allow Boston to take another victory, the feeling became very bitter and nearly all of the visiting oarsmen were loud in their denunciations of what they termed unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the local scullers in this contest. There are many, however, who believe the fouling w as simply an accident. The Crescent crew re fused to row the race over again, claiming they were leading when the foul occurred; that they had had nothing to do with it and that they had won the race fairly on its merits. The referee, however, thought that the fouling had destroyed the chances ot the Albany crew for victory, and upon the Cres cents maintaining their decision not to row again Mr. Shaw gave the race to the Albany pair, a protest being entered by the (’resents. The first race of ihe day was the final heat in the senior singles in which the contestants were Monohan. Albany Rowing Club, Al bany Murphy, Cresent Club, Boston; Gas trick, Modoc Club, St. Louis, and Scholes, Dominion Amateur Rowing Club, Toronto, and Mulcahey, Mutual Boat Club, Albany, who had rowed a dead heat yesterday. The men occupied positions as named, first men- tinned holding the inside position or that t nearest the canal wall. A splendid start wa« made, all five boats getting away how and bow ami -owing thus for 500 vard, after which Mulcahey by increasing his stroke got the lead of one length, with the others still bunched on nearly even terms. When three quarters of a mile had been rowed Mulcahey was still leading by a length over Murphy and Scholes, who were on even terms and rowing hard for second position. Mohohan had dropped two lengths to the rear of Mur phy and acboles, while Oastnck, who *p peered to be giving up, was half a dozen lengths to the rear and was virtually out of the race. When half a mile from the finish Mulcahey had increased his lead to two lengths and Scholes by spurting well had left Murphv a length behind. On the last quarter Murphy began to do some remarkable sculling, with long sweeping strokes and lighning like recovery, he not only over hauled and passed Scholes but put himself on even terms with Mulcahey, who had been rowing with over confidence on the home stretch. The race to the finish was nip and tuck between Murphy and Mulcahey. but the former by trt mendous efl rts forced his boat over the line half a length ah»ad of his com petitor. Scholes was a close third and Monohan only a length behind. The w inner was treated to an ovation by the spectators His time was 3 min 42 sec. The contestant* in the *enior oared race were the following: Fairmount Rowing As sociation of Philadelphia. Columbia Boat Club of Washington. I). C-, Nautilus Rowing Club of Hamilton, Canada. Albany Rowing Club of Albany. The Nautilus crew took the water first and led all the way to the finish The Fair mounts rowed in fine lorm and with a prettv stroke, but did not possess power equal to that of the muscular Canadians. The Colum bia crew only rowed a quarter of a mile when they withdrew to reserve themselves for i their eight oared contest. Whrn on the lsst quarter the Nautilus crew spurted handsomely and won by six lengtf* over the Fsirmounts in 8 min. 23 sec. The time of the Fair mounts was b min.. 33 aec.. and that of the Albany men 8 min.. 52 tec. 1 he pair oared race came next with Robt. McCann, bow and W. S Moselev, stroke, representing the Mutual Boat Club, Albany; John W. Shreave. bow. and John D. Barr, stroke, Alcyone Boat Club, Elizabeth, N. J; G. T). Philligs, bow. and M T. Hurd, stroke, New York Athletic Club. New York City; Fred Freeman, bow, and John Weldon, stroke. Ariel Boat Club. Newark, N. J. The Ariel pulled a beautiful stroke as did also the New Yorkers and the race for a mile was an exciting contest. The Athletics weakened on the last quarter of a mile, their stroke oar caught several crabs and the Ariel went half a dozen boat lengths to the fore. The A riels won a* they liked by 6 lengths. I The finish was as follows Ariel, 9 min. 33 sec. Athletics, 9 43 Alcyone, 9 44 51 44 Mutuals, 9 54 44 In the final race for the junior singles w ere Peter Snyder. Mutual Club of Albany: John H RuyI, Excelsior Club. Paterson, N. J.; Matthew Q iiglev, Institute Club of Newark. Kuyl was if ft behind from the start. Sny der and Quigley spurted together on even term at a terrific pace, each struggling for the lead. For three-quarters of a mile they kept up their marvelous fast stroke ot 42 to the minute, with the advantage first in favor of one and then with the other. Quigley per ceptibly weakened as he entered the iast half of the course and Snyder went quickly to a a lead of two len.ths Toward the finish1 Quigley tried to spurt, but he caught crab atter crab snd when he resumed pulling Sny der was a dozen lengths ahead Snyder won easily by 20 boat lengths in 9 min., 34 sec., I Quigley 2d and Kuyl 3d. The finest contest of the day, which was also the most exciting ever witnessed and the i fastest in its class ever rowed, was the eight j oared race between the Columbia crew j of Washington and Crescent crew of Boston. From an even start the contesting crews maintained almost even terms to w ithin 100 j hundred yards of the finish line Not at any time during the race until nearing the finish I did either crew have half a boats length ad- vantage over the other and whatever advan tage there was w as shar ed alternately. When nearing the finish line, however, the Colum bia men did some of the finest work ever witnessed in a similar contest. Their pow erful strok. s fairly lifted their boat out of the uater, and it was forced over the surface of the river like an arrow. Before the Crescent men had fairly Ingan to respond the Colum- i bia’s had secured a lead of a length and a hall, by which distance they won the race amidst tremendous enthusiasm, in 7 min. and 4(1$ sees thus beating the record by 5 sec ends. The Crescents finished two seconds latter. All of the contests were attended with a j great deal of enthusiasm and the winners were in all cases heartily cheered. On all side much regret is expressed that so un fortunate an episode as that in connection with the double scull race, should have oc curred to disturb the otherwise perfect har mony of the thirteenth annual regatta The victorious oarsmen m ere awarded the prizes j (his evening in the council chamber of City Hall by Mayor O'Brien. The Albany club being awarded that for double sculls, the Crescents expressed much indignation at be-1 ing “robbed” of the race and gave notice to j the president of the association of their in tention or withdrawing from the association, j I THE TURF.

The New York World has completed its self-imposed task ot raising $100,000 for the pedestal ot the Bartholdi statue of Liberty. A story has been set afloat in Washing ton to the effect that the Third Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Alvev A. Adee, is to he asked to surrender his place in or der that Mr. Anthony M. Keiley may be provided lor on his return from Europe. ficn. (’has. Ifamlen of Bangor delivered the Grant Memorial oration at Gardiner and his effort is highly spoken of as fol lows: ‘•Gen. Hamlin’s address was a fine one, and the only fault we heard found with it was that it was too short, which is also a compliment. He said enough with out saying too much.” It is said that the meeting of the Em perors of Austria and Germany and the Czar has no political significance. Yet it is incredible that these rulers should mobilize their armies along railways and at cross-roads and bridges, make endless other errangements for protection, and yet run great risk of their lives—all for a few moments’ social chat as equals. Russia has now a force of about forty thousand soldiers in the Transcaspian country. The regiments are widely scat tered, and it would be difficult to concen- trate even half of them at one point, and I w ith the present garrison at Herat it. would be folly to move upon that city such a force, as Knglish troops could reach there from India in less than forty days, and the Afghans could hold out against a much larger force. The bank reserves have begun to de cline, as is natural at this season, so that the extent of the remarkable accumula tion ot money during the summer can probably be defined. At the highest point the surplus reached $(>4,724,100, August 1, and was then $.‘12,000,000 above that of the same week last year, which in turn was larger by $8,000,000 than that of the same week in any previous year. The reserve reached ils maximum, $101, 644,300, duly 18. and was then about $•>7,000,000 above that of the same week last year, and $0:1,000,000 above that of any other year at the same date. Whether or not there is a great un known lake called Mistassini in Canada, larger than Lake Superior, is one of those things which no Canadian can apparently find out. There are all kinds of stories about it and now an officer of the Domin ion Survey sends home ami says that it is a little lake after all, only 120 miles around. He is promptly met by the as sertion that he cannot have found the real Mistassini; and in the lace of such state ments as Father Albanels' the report is hardly acceptable. Yet an official sur veyor would hesitate to forward a report like this unless he were entirely sure of its correctness. It would hurt his rep utation not a little. An admirable work has just been com pleted by Pope Leo XIII, at a cost of $200,000, subscribed by Homan Catholics in all parts of the world. lie has built, close by the Vatican, a cholera hospital, ca|>able of accomodating 200 patients ami fitted with every appliance the latest dis coveries ol science show to be desirable. Patients, when admitted, are at once di vested of their clothing, which is thrown into a “disintectioa canal.'' They are then taken up stairs by hydraulic elevator and placed each in a room by himself. Kaeh room contains vapor and hot-water baths. Patients in a state of collapse are put into a hermetically closed glass room filled with steam. The chapel of the hos. pital opens directly into the Vatican, and the Pope will personally visit the patients and superintend the hospital work. It is well that as much practical sympathy with the plague-smitten should be mani fested at the Vatican as at the Quirinal. Tardy and meagre honor was done to the memory of a man of large deserts in the recent unveiling in Paris of a monu mental statue of Dr. Pinel. Living amid the desperate deeds of the French Revo lution, he destroyed a worse place thau the Bastile itself—the hospital of the Biee tre. Within that dungeon insane people were caged like vermin, and, iu accord ance with the alienist practice of the day, subjected to cruelties unspeakable. The bloodthirsty Couthon did one good deed for humanity; he gave to Dr. Pinel full authority over the Bicetre. That philan thropist quickly inaugurated a new sys tem there. Kind and sympathetic treat ment became toe rule. Madmen were treated as unfortunates, not as incorrigible criminals. The example was followed elsewhere in France, and by the exertion of this one man in that country was wrought the work to whose neglect in England Charles Reade in later years so strongly called attention. A Dude Finds His Mission In Life. Berry Wall is the king of the dudes. This sovereignty in the matter of dress is the unique means the young man employs to dis pense with an income of over $500,000 a year. A gentleman who has know this eccentric spendthrift for years met him at Saratoga re cently. During the past month he has re plenished his wardrobe with the most marvel lous variety of garments ever made for man's back. It is said that, after a long career among the toilers of the world, this fastidious dresser has finally decided that no one can excel the fit and style of the clothes made by a New York firm. Poole, by special permis sion allowed to refer to one of us—H. M. the Prince of Wales—as a customer.is superseded by this arrangement. Mr. Wall's happiest moments are when he is astounding a gaping crowd by bis attire. Just to give them something to wonder at he will change his costume three or four times an hour. When conscious that he is being point ed out as the beau of the fashion plate, he will excuse himself from his triends tor a space of five or ten minutes, to return in a spiek and span outfit of an entirely different design. The transformation in dress are made by two valets, who are always on duty in his apartments to atrip and rehabilitate him as they would a dummy model in a millinery store. The fellow is not bad at heart, as lib eral as a profligate prince, and nobody’s fool by any means. This penchant for clothes is simply an expedient for spending money and killing time. A Plucky Boy. Professor Mather of Yaie has his family at North Stonington for the summer. Among them is a bright little boy, only eleven years of age. Monday afternoon he was the only occupant of the mail coach as it pulled up at the postoffice to make its delivery. The driver leaped off and carried the pouches in, and the horses were left unattended. At that moment a bicyclist shot by with such velocity as to startle the animals, and in a moment they were off at a breakneck-pace, going out of the village. The great vehicle rocked front side to side.and for the moment supreme excitement reigned among the villagers, who could see the white faced boy as it flew by. He made no out crv. The horses had run about half a mile when the little fellow was seen crawling out of the door of the stage to the box of the vehicle. It was a perilous act. and had he fallen he would very likely have been crushed under the flying wheels. As soon as he secured his position on the box he ttrasped the reins, and, bracing himself, suc ceeded in pulling on the bits so hard that the horses were finally conquered. It was a hard fight, however, am) the team was nearly a mile front the village before he succeeded in his undertaking.—Xew Ifaren Register. An Arkansas Family.

Another grocery team made a grand charge down Bine's Hill, yesterday morning. This time it was the property of W. F. Percival Son. It started on Grove street and came down the hill with the usual velocity. A carriage belonging to Mr. Geo. Patch, was struck and both axles sprung Mr. Samuel Hutchins was riding down the hill when the runaway struck his team, stripping off a wheel in a twinkling. In front of Dana’s blacksmith slip, the flying team collided with a truck wagon, and the horse, clearing, ran down Water street to a point in front of Hamlen’s harness store, where the animal fell down upon the side walk and was captured.

The real name ef Charles Davis, the thief captured so bravely, Sunday, by A. C. Carr of Winthrop, proves to be Ansel W. Went worth. His home is in Hiram Me., and his brother has been down to Winthrop and has seen and talk-d with him. Wentworth’s re putation until this affair occurred, was first rate at home but he has been wandering since spring and his folks have not kept track of him. Wentworth’s career has been prettv checkered since then and there is no doobt that he has b“en a partner in a svslem of bur glaries throughout the State for the unearth ing of which the greatest credit is due tbe veteran officer, A. C. Carr of Winthrop. Sev-I eral checks for baggage were found on tbe prisoner’s person and with these Mr. Carr came to Lewiston Tuesday afternoon, and! applied at the 1 ;wer Maine Central for the baggage. He got it. There was a valiae and a trunk. Both were full, j The valise was weighty with jack knives Three dozen new jackknives made up the bulk of the booty in the valise. The trunk contained all kinds of material, from a tooth brush to a fifteen dollar Bible. Most of it was such as is to be found in country J stores and in post-offices in the country. i There was a small library of books. There were razors and razor strops, postage stamp# I and type, combs and brushes, dry goods and also the chisel with which he did some pry- i ing open of doors and window*. Armed with these, Constable Carr went home and had a talk with the burglar. In conversation with the fellow and by means of a cipher memorandum book to which Mr. 'arr has found the key through pati-nt studv, it is prettv well assured that he has been Con cerned as a principal or a second in the rob- long of eight or nine post-offices, five or; six stores, and not less than four dwell- j ing houses. The diary shows that he j has been doing job# in Sagadahoc coun ly, in West Bowdoin. and Bowdointiam, j in both of which places the post-office j and stores have been entered by burglars. He has been in Vassalboro, Sidney, Litch field, Lisbon, Winthrop and up into Oxford county. Bv means of this convenient book Mr. Carr says that he can tell every place where Went worth has si-pi lor the past two or three months. Mr Rogers, at Bowdoin Centre, whose store has been broken into three times, iden tifies a lot of the goods. Before examining the boxes he referred to the cost as billed to him, and wrote the cost mark that should be found on the inside of the cover. The cost mark was found to be as tie stated on a great number of th boxes, and on the razor straps, razors, etc. He identifies goods sti>fen in j each of the three times when his place was i robbed. The man has a confederate in another part j of the State with whom he lias hail volumin mis correspondence and alter whom Mr. j Carr now is looking with a fresh track and a hot scent.

The special delivery stamps can be used only for the purpose of i securing the immediate delivery of letters addressed to and received io the mails at any uf the officers designated as special delivery offices. Under no circumstances are they to be used in the payment of postage of any description, of the registry bill, nor can any other stamps be employed to secure special delivery. A sad case.the result of the poor debtor law, occurred here recently A lady residing on the east side was arrested for debt on an execu tion from an Auburn firm of lawyers.

The address was a fine production.and listened to with close attention. Without undue laudation the speaker dwelt upon the many noble traits of Gen. Grant’s character as a soldier, a President, a citizen, and a man. The theme was his manlv character, and it was well illustrated. Remarks were also made by Revs. Gahan and Thompson. A. J.

Sunday, the day was marked by a vigorous sermon preached from a pulpit in the town, to prove that the earth doesn’t re volve on its axis, but that the sun “do move.” The preacher's best argument was Jo.hua's command to the sun to stand still. From a logical basis the preacher is said to have settled the question in favor of the supe rior activity of the sun. Aroostook Seventy-fire new dwellings have been erected this season in H-mltoa.

Having ascertained the names of the boys, the hiding place of articles was soon learned from them, and all the tilings stolen, with the exception of a number of the balls, were recoverrd. The lots, including the breaking of the locks, will be about 810. As the passenger train on the Eastern Di vision of the Boston and Maine due at Port land ten minutes before twelve was crossing the eastern bridge a hrakeman named S. W.

The tobacco habit is one of the forms of both sedative and stimulation, which seem to be regarded by the rudest, as well as the most accomplished being. Something in man impels him to be happier. The rude Mexican pounds the century plant till he can get fermentation in it.and then he drinks himself drunk. The methodical Chinaman, who has a duty for every day in the year, and saves his money better than the miser, had the citadel r f his nature stormed by opium, and against the command of his govern ment and his religion, he sits down and smokes himself into stupefaction. The Turk, precluded trum liquor by his religion, tortures himself between the harem and the pipe. The English beer-drinker comes to a place where malt and hops will no longer satisfy, and he must drug his beertomake it palatable, and the public house which he frequents obliges him in that respect by opening the bung-hole and dropping in tobacco or pepper.or something sufficient ly strong. Nothing is more remarkable in the I United States than the growth of the cigar business. Before the Rebellion. Havana manufactured the best, and probably the most of our cigars. Alter the duties were made high, the cigar-making business was transferred within our revenue jurisdic tion, first to Key West, and then to New York. The war itself was provocative of the smoking habit, as it multiplied excite ment. and left hundreds of thousands of men in tents, waiting tor battle; and there they smoked because they had no other form of enjoyment. So the growth of tobacco was introduced into our Northern States, and now the North raises the best smoking tobacco for cigars, and the tobacco interest in some I of the Western States, amounts to millions per annum. There are said to be 50,000 persons in New York, rolling cigars or stripping the leaf. In almost every little village there are cigar factories. The Germans and Spanish were for merly the most smokeful of nations, but we are close upon them, now. although it is common in this country to find men who never smoked a cigar, and T have otten noticed that some men who drank to ex cess had never pul a cigar in their mouths. The drunkard fancies that he is to save his life, notwithstanding the liquor, by re jecting some other bad habit. The best, cure tor both liquor and tobacco, is the open air, and not the open air of the cities so much as that of the country. Country people are inclined to chew to bacco instead of smoking it. A ride of thirty miles through the open country Is a cure, in part, for both liquor and to bacco. General Grant has kept this open-air treatment np nearly all of his life. Either on horseback or in a carriage, he has rid den constantly, and down to a very late period, and his trip around the world, in steamers, vessels and vehicles, gave him inspiration of the same sort.—"Oath," in Boston Globe.

Progress of Cremation. How a Body is Reduced to Ashes.— i Clergymen in a Cremation Com I’ANY. Meeting the Rev. J. 1). Bengless, Pres ident t the United States Cremation Co., the other day, I asked him what progress that eoneern was making. “We have met with considerable delay on account of the falling of the unfinished walls ot our crematorium during a violent storm last winter,” he said, “but we are going on. Our building is near the Mt. Oliver Cemetery, in the outskirts of Brooklyn. When finished, it will be a handsome two-story marble structure. The front part will contian the offices, etc. A funeral party will pass through to a large hall or chapel in the rear, where the coffin will lie placed in a catafalque, and funeral services will be held. While the company are in the chapel and the services going on, the coffin will be noise lessly and out of sight, lowered through the floor into the basement and incin erated.” “What is the process of incineration I inquired. “The body is wrapped in a linen cloth coated with alum, laid on a slab of soap stone, and shoved into a retort of fire-clay. No fire comes in contact with the body at all. The retort is heated to about 11,000 degrees, and reduces the body to ashes without tlame or burning.” “How long does it take?” "About 111* minutes to every 100 pounds weight of the corpse. An average man (d loll pounds is reduced to ashes in about three-quarters of an hour.” "What becomes ot the linen cloth “Oh. it goes to ashes, too, and mingles with those of the corpse. But it does not make more than a teaspoonful of ashes, and is not worth taking into account. The body makes about three pounds of ashes to every 100 pounds of weight. The ash es are a pale gray in eolor, dry and light. Ot course, if desired, the body could be wrapped in abestos cloth, which would not be reduced to ashes, thus keeping the ashes of the dead entirelv pure.” I asked Mr. Rengless what the cost of such a funeral would be. He said it would be less than half, perhaps only one third the cost of an ordinary funeral. Of course, the cost would vary with the amount expended on the urn in which the ashes were deposited. Some people would want the urns of precious metals adorned with gems, but the majority would probably select a plain bronze vase. Those who wished would take the urns away with them to keep in their homes. Rut the general rule would be to have them arranged in niches or on shelves along the walls of mortuary chapels. Each would bear an epitaph, of course. Mr. Renglass is a regularly ordained clergyman and is, or was, I believe, a chaplain in the navy. Associated with him in this enterprise are other clergymen and many business men and professional men of high standing, and they all seem confident that this form of disposing of the bodies of the departed, will soon come into general if not universal use.— Trcn ton Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. Getting Property from Sunken Wrecks. It lias been often said by those who ought to know that the bottom of Long Island Sound between Stamford harbor and Stamford Point light is strewn with wrecks of vessels some of which went down thirty or more yej rs ago. Until recently there has been much mystery respecting the location of these wrecks, but it has been largely dispelled by Captain Henry Young. Since he began operations with his wrecking steamer, the Chester, in April last, he has shown how easy what was once considered a difficult feat under water can now be performed. After rig ging the Chester with a new pump for deep water operations, his first work was to assist in raising the sunken Hudson River steamer St. John. His machinery consists of six engines each operating in dependency of the others. The big 1 pumping engine is of 55 horse power and the capacity of the pump 13,000 gallons per minnte. The tube which extends from the decks to the bottom of the sea is about 10 inches in diameter, in short sec tions adjustable to any depth. When in complete order 100 tons of coal can be pumped in an hour. During the pnmping the captain invariably descends to the sunken vessel to superintend the feed. The tube passes into the vessel’s hold and he stands by with proper appliances to see that' its full duty is done. He says that all he wants to know about a wreck is information that will bring him within five miles of it, and he will guarantee to find it and get cut everything ot value. Speaking of the schooner Fannie Crocker.lost off Saybrook in ‘.853. he says that the copper alone re covered from her by him yielded over $2, 000 in cash in New'York. He preserves on board a specimen copper brick weigh ing 200 pounds as a reminder of that ex ploit. The brick is as bright as a new cent, and there is nothing to indicate its thirty-two years repose in fifty-five feet of saltwater.* Captain Young hopes to get the range of the steamer Lexington, sunk j off Oldfield light on the Long Island side j of the Sound, in 1840. From those who some years later, tried to raise her, and he believes he can recover the safe and its wealth of specie All the coal and other property taken from wrecks like those described are the caotatns the moment they are in hand, A few days ago he be gan work on a schooner which went down twenty years ago oft’ Penfield Reef in sev enty feet of water. She nad 800 tons of coal on board. About seventy-five tons that were recovered and brought into Bridgeport, were as bright as when taken trom the mine, nor had the coal lost any value as fuel. The captain expects to pass the winter at Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, where are many valuable wrecks waiting attention. It Was Good. Anyway. In a town on Cape Cod lives a French family, of which the head was once an officer in tne Belgian army, where he seems to have acquired strange w«te*. He is somewhat given to experiments in cookery, and fre quently concocts dishes which are the aston ishment of liia neighbors. He has recently decided to take to himself a helpmeet, and fixed upon a pretty Iri h girl in the vicinity as a sweetheart. His knowledge of Fnglish however, is so imperfect that he has been forced to call in a music teacher to act as in terpri ter. G >ing to the Frenchman’s house the music teacher found great difficulty in conducting negotiations owing to the contin ual interference of an old Iristi woman who kept demanding what she was there tor. What are you here for yourself?” de manded the interpreter at length, losing patience. Och, hone cried the other, “an’ is it what I’m here tor, had luck to the day Didn’t I smell the loveliest smell of victuals cookin’ that ever struck me old nostrils,saints be wid ye; an’ it was that temptin’ that I couldn’t kape me feet from the door An' they axed me would I taste the stew. ‘Would 1 sez I. ‘I would that,’ sez I.

ErnFLOYMBU-SiSS-j^ESW SSBESKtiaEBB Good health depends largely on the condition of the liver. This organ is easily affected because of its sluggish circulation. When it becomes disordered, stagnant blood accumulates in its venous system, causing it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many forms of disease result from its imperfect action, which deranges all the digestive and assimilative organs, and, through these, impairs almost even* function of mind and body. There is no Better way to insure the proper action of all the apparatus necessary to health, than to aid the stomach and liver by the occasional use of Ayer’s Pills. E. A. Iiobiusou, 131 School st., Lowell, Mass., says: “For a number of years I was statioued in the tropics; and, while there, suffered much from torpidity of the liver and Indigestion. Headaches and nausea disabled me f r days at a time, and it was only by the u-e of Ayer's Pills that 1 obtained relief. 1 know them to be the Best Cathartic Pills. They stimulate the appe tite, assist digestion, and leave the bowels in a natural condition." John H. Watson, proprietor University Hotel, Chapel Hill, X. C., writes: For twenty years I was a sufferer with sick headache. I began taking Ayer’s Pills, and quickly found relief. I have not had an attack of head ache for years, and attribute my freedom from it to the use of Ayer’s Pills." Jared Agnew, LaCrosse, AVis., writes: “I was cured of a grievous attack of Erysipelas by using Appetite renders the partaking of needful bodily sustenance a matter of pleasure. When* ever the appetite fails, you may be sure the stomach and liver have become de ranged, and need to be corrected by the use of Ayer's Pills. C. Danly, Belton, Texas, writes: I have taken Ayer’s Pills for various affections arisiug from de rangements of the liver and digestive organs, and find them to be a powerful corrective.” If your Health is impaired a good cathartic medicine may aid you. Miss M. Boyle, Wilkesbarre, Pa., writes: I use no other medicine than Ayer's Pills. They are all that any one needs.” Dr. W. J. Talbot, Sacramento. Cal., writes: “The curative virtues of Ayer’s Pills commend them to all judi cious practitioner*.” Dr. Charles Alberts, Horicon, Wis., writes: Last year I pro cured from you the formula of Ayer’s Pills, and have since prescribed them with decided benefit.” Xo poisonous drugs are Found in the composition of Ayer's Pills. Dr. A. A. Hayes, State Assaver, Boston, Mass., certifies: I have made a careful analysis of Ayer’s Pills, with the formula of their preparation. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert matter, which plan Is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It insures activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain no metallic or mineral sub stance, but the virtues of vegetable reme dies in skilful combination.” Ayer’s Ayer’s Pills, Pills for twenty days.” These Pills have been most successfully used in treatment of obstinate cases of Dropsy. taken in connection with Ayer's Sarsapa rilla, have effected thousands of wonderful cures.
