How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the world’s great est mind How infinite the scope of man’s power if his faculties are well preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Power. Yet what is this “quint essence of dust when blasted by disease—his noble functions per verted or destroyed As “all men are born free and equal,” as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suffer for the sins of their parents this can not he. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conced ed question. To restore it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in immorality and indul gences which are in disregard of nature’s laws. The most we can do then is to ameliorate this con dition, and cure disease in indi viduals. To this end we offer to the pub lic, remedies which have done more good—accomplished better results in overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz Dlt. FLOWER’S LIVER ANI) STOMACH SANATIVE, AND NERVE DILLS. The former is an infallible remedy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression caused by overwork, etc. These remedies are extensively proscribed by physicians, (a recom mendation which does not obtain with any other proprietary article,) and command at the hands of .the druggists in New England a larger sale than any other medicine.

MAINE DISPATCHES. IliS 1.4 81 N1HHT. Wilkensou Will Meet His Fate With fortitude—'I he Hallows in Position. Thomaston, Nov. 19. Daniel Wilkinson, wiio will be hung Fri day noun, chatted and laughed with a re porter tor half an hour Thursday afternoon. I'lie oidy sign of a realization that there was but a few short hours between hint and eter nity was a slight tremor in his voice. He occupies the same cell that Santore, the Italian, had. As to the luture, he believes that all will he a blank after the hanging. He has evidently been a scholar of Boh Ioger "oll, as in his talks witii the chaplain he used Bob’s well-worn and useless arguments against the Christian religion. He thinks there is no future world. Wilkinson does not say much about his past life. He says his father and mother do not know anything about his situation, and he wishes to keep them in ignorance of his fate. He says there is not a single person in the United States who In can call his friend, ind lie has not sent word to any of Ins lriends in England. “They only hang negroes and foreigners in this State,” he exclaimed bitterly. He says he would not wish to have Mrs. Barrows hung, because she is a woman, hut lie thinks Blaney ought not to be treated any better than he It is very probable that Wilkinson is not the prisoner’s right name, and the world will never know who was hung. 1 lie prisuner sleeps soundly every night and eats as much as ever. The gallows was erected today anil every preparation has been made lor the ex ecution. FiiOJl FOItTLAMD. Supposed Fntul Accident. Portland, Nov. 19.

The Dyer Sensation Proves to Have no Foundation. Portland, Not. 19. The great and much discussed Dyer mys tery has at last been fathomed. The solu tion was the result of the efforts of news paper correspondents who, Wednesday night, had the satisfaction of hearing Blanche Ed wards say, “I have told the truth.” To reach this point and to follow down and prove false the almost innumerable mis-statements that Blanche Edwards had made was a work of no small difficulty. In the course of the in vestigation they made, it was necessary for them to go to almost every school district in several of the adjoining towns. Search had been made until Wednesday afternoon for the mysterious house in the woods, and the Ward house, another of the creations of the fertile brain of Miss Blanche. Wednesday, to still more complicated mat ters, Blanche recalled one more statement. She said that Mr. and Mrs. Dyer had con tributed to a fund fur the purchase of a sil ver service that was presented to I)r and Mrs Richardson on the occasion of their marriage. This was only disproved after a long search. Some Jays ago, some frienJs of Blanche placed in the hands of a reporter three pho tographs that she said were those of Mr. and Mrs. Dyer, and of Joseph when he was a boy. These furnished the first due to the mystery. Wedntsday morning, a gentleman identified the portrait of the lady as that of a well known Deering lady. A little later, Mr. Fred Harris, who resides at Oak street, Deering, was seen. He said that the pictures were taken from his homg, He said that Blanche Edwards worked at his house at the very time she was commonly supposed to have been ill Portland at the house of her fattier, in the vicinity of the rolling mills. He added that she was so despondent over the loss of Joseph that at last they were obliged to discharge her. The letters were compared with specimens of the writing known to byby Blanche, and were pronounced the same. Wednesday evening, ii was discovered that on the day when Blanche said that Joseph L. Dyer was killed, a boy of 17, named Charlie Archibald, met with a fatal accident, and that he was buried on the day fixed by Blanche as that on which the funeral of Joseph took place. Following this clue, repnrters went to Cape Elizabeth, found the house of Mr. Robert Archibald, and found at once the missing “house in the woods,” and in a great part the explanation of the mystery. There was tile house that had been sought for miles away, and although Mr. Archibald knew nothing about it, everything went to prove that Joseph L. Dyer was the name that Blanche either knew Charlie Archibald by, or that she called him so lor the purpose of mystification. The reporters then went to the house of Mr. Thomas Edwards, where an interview was obtained with Blanche. She identified the photographs taken from the house of Mr. Harris as those of the Dyer family. She again repeated her story and was then con fronted with proofs of falsity. She then con fessed that the entire story of the doctors was unfounded but she says: “I know I saw him,” ('meaning the lover.) The facts seem to be that Blanche and Charlie formed ail attachment He may have, and it is supposed that lie did tell her that his name was Joe Dyer. She saw him a few times anil then he met with a sudden death. She invented the Mr. and Mrs. Dyer. She put on mourning lor him and when her people grumbled at the ex pense, she wrote the first letter from Mrs. Dyer saying that she was to have $3150 that had belonged to Joe. When her mother again troubled her about her mourning she wrote the letter from Mrs Dyer that was published. Her mind is doubtless a little affected and she no doubt is honest in the belief that she lias talks with Joseph. THE GRAINGERS. Report of the Committee on Education Resolution Introduced. Boston, Nov. 19 In the session of the National Grange, Pa trons of Husbandry, this afternoon, the com mittee on education presented a report rela tive to a letter which had been referr d to it from Hon. Wm. G. Leduc, ex-commissioner of agriculture, containing several sugges tios as to the best means of making the meetings of granges interesting and instruc tive. The principal way suggested was to have regular and systematic readings on different topics, and this was endorsed by the committee on education, and recommended to the attention of subordinate granges. Gov. Robie of Maine, introduced the following resolution which was adopted Resolved, That Congress under the tiro vision of the constitution which authorizes it to regulate the commerce between states, is in duty bound to enact a law and provide for its enforcement which will break up the mo nopolies which are a burden to the farmers in some sections of the state. The committees on accounts an l digest submitted their formal reports. The after noon session was presided over by Overseer Put Darden of Mississippi. J. J. Woodman of Michigan, and Dr. J. M. Brandon of Vir ginia, were elect, d members of the executive committee. It was voted to hold the next meeting ot organization at Philadelphia, Nov. 1881*.

Disastrous Prairie Fire. Mechita Falls, Tex., Nov. 19. Information lias been received here of a very disastrous prairie tire in the Indian Ter ritory, especially in the section lying north of the Red river station. The fire started about +0 miles north of Red river station and burned down to the bottom lands of Red river, thence to Beaver Creek, twelve miles west of Red river station. The eastern limits of the fire are not known, but it is believed that the fire belt is from forty to sixty miles wide. The loss to cattlemen is placed as high as 8+00,000.

Mackin will be taken from the county jail to the Illinois State penitentiary at 12 o’clock, Friday. The offence for which Mackin will don the atriped suit is not for his complicity in the election frauds during the presidential election, but for alleged perjury. FOREIGN NEWS THE EASTERN WAR. Prince Alexander’s Example Enconrag* ing the Bulgarians—Turkey Leaning Toward Serria Instead of Bulgaria. London, Not. 19. A rumor prevails that an armistice has been agreed upon between Servia and Bul garia. Bulgaria is denuding the Turkish frontier of troops, and is sending in all her available forces to the front to combat the Servians The public are allowed to go to the depots on the route by which the troops pass, to see their relatives and friends. Manv of the villagers tramp long distances, and wait at the depots several hours, and, in some in stances, whole days and nights, in order to see their friends and give them flowers and presents. Prince Alexander’s success before Slivnitza has revived the courage of those going to the front, and thev undergo extreme hardships with remarkable fortitude. In many cases they are compelled to march long distances in bad weather, and at night eamp in open spaces where they are shelterless, not hav ing oven ordinary tents to protect them from the severity of the weather. The London Times says “It is reported that Turkey and Servia have agreed to ar range the conditions of peace after the cap ture of Sofia. Turkey prefers a strong Ser via to a strong Bulgaria, but also desires to save Prince Alexander’s position as much as possible. Servia does not wish to personally humiliate Prince Alexander.” Advices received in London from Belgrade say that a Servian administration has been arranged for ail the occupied districts in Bul garia. The inhabitants of the places thus tar occupied, it is claimed, display a friendly spirit toward the Servians. A dispatch from Tsaribrod to the London Standard says that the decisive attack on that place was delayed until all the Servian col umns had been concentrated. A heavy can nonade was kept up throughout the day and several sham attacks were made. A private telegram received at Belgrade states that all the Bulgarian troops, compris ing the VViddin garrison, have been made prisoners. Brussells, Nov. 19. The Independence Beige publishes a dis patch from Sofia stating the Servians attack ed the ild Bulgarian regiment escorting an ambulance train, and bayonptted the wound ed soldiers it contained. The dispatch also states that Prince Alexander submits to the terms of the Sultan embodied in the latter’s reply to tile Prince’s appeal for help, and begs tile Sultan to aid him at once. Constantinople, Nov. 19. The Balkan conference met today. It is stated that one of the results of the meeting is that the Turkish envoy will go to Pliil lipopolis under the Porte's name but without mandate from the conference. Prince Alexander in bis request to the Porte for help state that in compliance with the Sultan’s demand he has withdrawn the Bulgarian troops from Eastern Koumelia. Belolade, Nov 19. Today’s dispatches from the front are ad verse to Servia. Gen. Meskovitch failed in an attempt to capture Slavinge and is unable to join the forces at Slivnitza. Military circles are dejected in consequence of the reverses. It is reported that Gen. Benitzky’s division lias occupied the road between Slivnilza and Sofia Simla, Nov. 19 Reliable reports received state that the Servian loss at Slivnitza yesterday was three three times greater than given out. Prince Alexander was in the thick of the battle from the beginning to the end. He first rode a white horse, afterwards a brown horse. It is believed the white horse was killed. Sofia, Nov. 19. The Bulgarians today repulsed the Servian attack on Slavinge anil drove the enemy back eight kilometres. Subsequently the Ser vians opened strong artillery fire from the right wing. The Bulgarians stoutly defended their position and again repulsed the Servians. The Bulgarians further repulsed the attack on Glinitze, taking several prisoners. FROM GERMANY.

A Mass ol Burned Walla Tip Over, In stantly Killing One Woman and Terri bly Mangling Many Others. New York, Not. Id. When the Empire mills at Nos. 21 to 25, Bethune street, were burned Wednesday, a week ago, the front and a part of the side walla remained standing. They were inspect ed and declared sound, but orders had been given to brace the walls with six stout braces. This was being done today and four were in place. Men from engine company 18, were throwing water on the still smoking ruins, while the squad of laborers bad begun to re move the debris piled up by another within the enclosure of the dangerous wall. The street was fenced off on both sides of the building to prevent strangers from approach ing. but despite this a number of bovs were running back and forth picking up kindling wood. Mrs. Mary Kohn, a young married woman who lived across the'way from the mill, shortly after 4 o’clock, was picking up kind ling wood when the front wall suddenly gave wav and fell. Probably a workman pushed something upon the base inside and so caused the collapse. There were half a dozen there and none had any warning until the natter of falling bricks made them look up. They saw the top of the tall wall swaying and bending inward. Before they could save themselves by flight the top had fallen on them, while the centre was forced out and thrown into the street. The firemen outside saved themselves by hasty flight, as did also the boys picking up wood. Several had narrow escapes. Mrs Kohn was not so fortunate. Site was caught squarely under the tailing mass and buried beneatli the heap of broken stones. Twenty minutes later when she was dug out she was dead. Ambulances were quickly at hand, and the work of exhuming the buried work men was prosecuted with great vigor. When all the wounded had been taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital, the following list was given: Archie Georgia, 28 years old, com pound fracture of skull; will probably die. Jos. Baffle, 41 years old. both legs and thighs broken, and head badly injured; will prob ably die. Geo.

The trial of the water works, and the banquette) the water company which were to have occurred yesterday, were postponed until to-day on account of the weather. A number of hydrants were tried yesterday, with good results. Five streams were thrown from the hydrant at the lower end of Water street, near Sawtell’s. and any one of them threw a stream far above the tallest building in the vicinity. At this hydrant there is a pressure of about !>2 pounds to the square Inch. When the engineer wbs turning off the water after try ing this hydrant one of the hosemen con ceived the idea of giving a neighbor a good wetting; the scheme worked like a charm. The friend tnrned on him, and in turn treated him to a bath of Cobbossee water. There was not much head on and the hosemen en joyed it hugely. The wetting soon became general. Engineer lidd, who had hold of the wrench, kept turning on the water and there was soon full head head on. The water flew in every direction. A one armed soldier jumped into the road, seized hold of a nozzle, and turned the stream on a fireman. The fireman, not perceiving that he was unpro tected by a rubber coat, returned the com pliment witli such vigor that the soldier was knocked down. Some fifteen or twenty of the spectators were thoroughly drenched with water. The water was finally turned off by Engineer Field. Gen. John T. Richards was thrown from his buggy into the mud on Pleasant street Wednesday afternoon. The damage was slight, although the General's clothing was badly soiled.

A days’ work with hammer, nails, strips, straw and so on will soon accomplish sights here. Pasture Lots.—These need manuring as well as any other land from which crops are taken. November is the best month to apply top dressings here. The manure should be old and tine; if fresh it will not have so good an effect, besides, this will render the grass distasteful to the animals when next turned out. Wintering Bees.—If they are to be given the protection of tbe cellar, this month should see them in the quarters. They should be disturbed as little as possible in the moving. luce in place the cover should be taken off the hive anil a piece of carpet or other coarse cloth, that will admit ot the escape of moisture l>e thrown, over instead. II the cellar can be kept dark, is well ventilated, and of a temper ature within five degrees of forty-two, the bees will need very little care until April. So long as they are quiet they are all right il restless and loud buzzing pro ceeds from the hive, allowing them to fly on the first warm day is desirable. To get F.ggs in Winter.—This rests chiefly but not wholly with the feeding. The staple food ot Indian corn is une qualed for furnishing heat and fat, but la ks in albumen and phosphates. Wheat is a more perfect food, as it is also pre ferred by fowls when they have the choice of both. A mixture of the two is desirable, with some oats added for a change. Besides the grain, there must be animal food. Milk in any shape is valua ble. Refuse front the butchers, scrap cake and offal from the fish market furnish a material that induces free laying. The writer once had access to a slaughter house where lings’ lungs could be had for almost nothing. A string was tied around each one and it was filing fo a nail. There flic hens could eat it readily, and this food told well on egg returns. Thrown in loose and they could hardly devour the lungs. Vegetable food is also needed. Potatoes and turnips boiled and mashed with Indian nteal can hardly be equaled. Cabbage is always acceptable. In the absence of every kind of green food, sweet clover hav affords not a bad substi tute. As material needed for the forma tion of egg shells, and also to aid in the grinding ot the food that is going ott in the gizzard, it must not lie forgotten to provide laying hens with small gravel and grit, broken bones, shells and the like. Properly ted, and kept in a warm, well lighted and well ventilated house during the winter, hens will not fail to lay well. Flowers anil the Lawn Violets cannot stand heat. Amaryllis should now be at rest. Pansies succeed in pots in a cool dry place. A magnolia in Attica, N. Y., blossomed twice during the past season. The feathery heads of the wild clema tis work into winter bouquets handsome ly Dutch bulbs tnav lie planted any time before the ground freezes up, and be started in pots for some weeks yet. Cleanliness about the plant stand in the way of picking off dead leaves, wilted flowers and tiie like helps wonderfully for appearances. Geraniums kept from bloom last sum mer. by removing tbe flower buds, will now be lull of flowers. Over watering is injurious. For fine specimens, as seen from the room, turn the plants often; to be the finest as seen from the street, never turn them. Tree Planting.—Forkindsof undoubted hardiness there are some advantages and no great risks in fall planting, but when it is as late as this it should be done! quickly. Some kinds like larch, birch j and beech always do best for fall planting. With evergreens it is different; plant only in the spring or just after midsummer' After several hard frosts have occurred the earlier that fall planting can be done the better; if leaves remain strip them off. Stake securely in windy places after the planting. It is a capital plan to draw a small mound of earth up to the tree for the three told purpose of steadying it, shedding away wetness, and preventing mice from gnawing away the young, tender bark. Orchard and Garden. Burn the old rubbish. A good time tc cut grafts. The more fruit the bettor health. Trim old wood from blackberries. Asparagus forces well for winter use. Ventilate the fruit cellars in mild weath er. Twenty acres have been set to tigs by one man in Baker county, Florida. By digging over ground this fall many weeds will l>e put back. Manure now on rhubarb will tell on [earliness, quality and size next spring. Grapes keep best in a temperature with in a lew degress of 40; pack in layers, using paper between. Cabbage.—After growth has ceased be cause of cold, pull and store, placing it heads down, close together in a dry spot in the garden, and covering over with straw or leaves as high as the roots, and on this same soil, sheltering all with boards, it will keep until March. A small stock for use during winter may easily be kept in a barrell or box that is set on end in a dry place, and which is banked up around it to its top with earth and covered with a close-fitting, double cover of boards. Packing in Barrels.—Apples may, with advantage, be pressed in packing even to start a bruise outside, but pears not. For pears the barrels must be lined with straw It Will Save Your Life. Everybody knows tbe symptoms attend ing coughs and colds, but tbe dangerous character of these ailments is not so well understood. When a cold settles upon the lungs, If the blood is tainted with Scrofula, or the system is weak, Catarrh or Consumption is sure to follow. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the only remedy that may be uniformly relied upon for the cure of coughs and colds. J. J. Raw-on, Buckingham C. H., Va., writes: “For several weeks I suffered from a frightful cold, with cough and frequent Spitting of Blood. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me entire ly.” Mrs. K. Campbell, Woodville, Ont., writes: I was troubled, for five years, with an affection of tbe throat and lungs, coughing severely the whole time. I used different preparations, and was treated by several physicians, without effect. I final ly tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and be fore finishing one bottle was completely cured.” I>r. W. K. Gann, Monticello, Kv., writes: I have been troubled with Bronchitis, since early youth, and am now 37 years of age. I owe my life to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” Dr. J. II. Quirk, Ful ton, Kalis., writes: "Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral saved niv life twenty years ago. It is a favorite medicine in my family.” Catarrh prevails in this country to an alarming extent. It is a troublesome and disgusting disease, usually induced by neg lectea colds, and, if allowed to become chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often terminates in Consumption. Ernest H. Darrah, Tollesboro, Ky„ writes: “A year ago I was afflicted with Catarrh. One bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me." Miss Eva A. Hall, Ipswich. Mass., writes: “For any one who is troubled with Catarrh, there is nothing so helpful as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It Cured Me of this troublesome complaint, when other remedies afforded no relief.'’ Dr. F. Schley,Frederickstown, Md.,writes: In pulmonary cases,of an acute character.or, of catarrhal origin, I find Ayer's Cherry Pectoral invaluable.’’ Dr. F. E. Pape, Sandusky, Ohio, writes: I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my practice, and, in connection with Ayer's Pills, find it an invaluable remedy for colds, coughs, and the inflammations that follow them upon the throat and lungs. We have no other remedy which I consider so sure in its effects.’’ C. II. Pierce, Moline, 111., writes: “Catarrh had nearly destroyed my sense of taste and smell. Ayer’s Cher ry Pectoral effected a complete yurt Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Has effected many wonderful cures. Mrs. Mary K. Whitcomb, Hartford, Conn., writes: “Some years ago my mother had an obstinate cough, with severe pains ill til.- chest, and several attacks of bleeding from the lungs. She was very much reduced in strength, and believed herself about to become a victim of Consumption. While in this condition, she was strongly recommended by Rev. Hr. Blanchard, of Lowell, Mass., to make a trial of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. She did so, and by its use was restored to perfect health. Since her recovery the Pectoral has been her sole dependence for colds, coughs, and all similar troubles, which it has never failed to cure.” PKKl’AKED BY Dr. J. C.
