SPAIN HOPEFUL That Her Answer Will Be Acceptable to Us. And, as She Is Said to Have Ac cepted Our Terms, There Is No Ooubt But What Her Hopes Will Be Realized. Madrid, Aur. 7.-9 A. M—From a well informed source it is learned that 'vhilo the answer of Spain to the Uni ted States docs not discuss the four bases which the United States makes an essential preliminary to peace, and whi< h Spain accepts without reserva tion, it points out that in order to avoid tin* definitive m gotiatiens, being in any way complicated by incidents of the war, it is expedient to agree before hand to a suspension of hostilities. It is r •ported that the Duke Almodo var de Min, the minister of foreign af fairs and Mgr. Merry del Val, Spanish ambassador to the Vatican, will be se leeted to represent Spain in the nego tiations. The newspapers make no comments on the situation owing to the strictness of the censorship. 12.30— Senor Sagasta has just con cluded a conference with the Queen Regent. Iler Majesty approves the general lines of the reply of Spain to America’s peace terms, which Senor Sagasta explained to her. The reason for postponing the cabinet council, un til G o’clock this evening, is that the note is not yet fully drawn up. The government believes that the United States will accept Spain’s answer, which will certainly reach the White House, by Tuesday. As a consequence of tlif United States accepting the re ply. hostilities will immediately after wards he suspended. As the reply to the American terms was only submitted to the Queen Re gent. today, all tin* reports of her ap proval. yesterday, of the American de mands are necessarily without foun dation. 2 I*. M.—An official dispatch from Porto Rico says the Americans, yes terday, seized the.customs house in the village of Fajardo, which place was without a garriso. An American column, the dispatch also says, supported by artillery, ad vanced on (tuayama. Tin* Spaniards made a brave defence but were forced to withdraw to Alturas. Seventeen of the Spaniards were killed. 19 1*. M.—The cabinet council ter minated aft<*r having completely ap proved of Spain’s reply to the United States, which, it is said, accepted the American conditions. The reply will be telegraphed to Se nor He on y Castillo, the Spanish am bassador to France, tonight, so that M. Cambon, the French ambassador at Washington will receive it, tomorrow. The government is fully convinced hat the note will be satisfactory to the Washington govt rnment and that a suspension of hostilities will be its im nediate consequence.

NO OTHER COURSE. t* What Could Spain Do But Ac cept Our Terms? Not Exactly Pleased With Them But Had No Alternative. Good Words tor Sagasta tor His Conduct in the War. London, Aug. 8.—The Madrid corres pondent of the* Times telegraphing. Sunday, says: “Today, all the heat authorities agree that the government has decided to ac cept the American peace conditions. The American reply to RRpain's re quest for explanations reached Madrid, Friday evening. The text has not hoen divulged, but it is thought that it brought little consolation. “President McKinley turned a deaf ear to the suggestion that Porto Itico might he left to Spain and compensa tions elsewhere sought. Regarding the Philippines, the reply was not alto gether satisfactory, but it was of such a nature that there was no longer any necessity for postponing a decision on the main question. “Meanwhile Renor Ragasta’s exten sive consultations seemed to leave no doubt that the nation wants peace. 1 do not mean to say that all declared this in plain language. On the con trary, there was a deal of reticence. “Some patrons have more or less clearly expressed the idea that the best men in the country would patriotically forget for the moment all personal and party considerations and cordially and disinterest wily endeavor to assist the government in its difficulties. “The idea, however, if it was ever seriously entertained, was not real ized. Perhaps one or two acted in this spirit, but in most cases the cloven foot of the politician occasionally peeps out under the tlowing robes of the pa riot. “Some only half conceal their suspic ions that Renor Ragasta. in professing to consult them anxiously in a great crisis after tie- national history, w as in reality playing the part of an old par liamentary head and astutely laying traps for his political rivals. “If these suspicions had any real foundation Ragasta must be a consum mate actor, for in all the interviews h spoke with apparent frankness ajjd a j sincerity and personal disinterestedness that might well have disarmed .ill but j the most hardened politicians. “Even when it was suggested iUjJl he ought to leave to more capable the task i of concluding peace, he displayed i**i impatience or resentment.

SPAIN’S ANSWER (Continued from p&ge 1.) o’clock in the afternoon, with the am bassador in poHMcpsion of the Ihiited States note. Should the Spanish answer 1m? an unconditional acceptance of our terms some negotiations will he necessary t*» agee upon the steps to he taken to give effect to the agreement. So far as can bo learned it has not yet been deter mined how this shall he done. There are two ways open. The first is a military capitulation by tin* captain generals of Cuba and Porto Iiieo which will immediately place the American military or naval commanders in technical occupation ol the islands and enable them to carry out, in their own way and their own time, the embarkation of the Spanish armies in the islands. The question as to whether they shall be permitted to carry off their arms is not now as material as it was in the ease of the surrender of (Jen. Toral's forces at Santiago, where oc cupying in the midst of the campaign, there was a necessity for securing the moral vff« et of compelling tin* Spanish soldiers to lay down their arms. Spain h iving «m oumbed it might urged that the Knitcd States grant a conces sion on this p-dnt to Spanish pride. This would not apply, however, to the volunteers who might loci to remain in Cuba, as it would not he prudent to allow so large a body of men to carry arms without restraint in the days of recon struction, when delicate and difficult mat ters of internal policy are to be settled and n« w methods applied to the gov* rn ment of the islands. The second method by which the pre liminary peace agreement might be for mally affected would be by a protocol to be signed by a representative of the Pres ident, probably Secretary Day in this case, and by M. (’.imlion in behalf of the Spanish government. Ii was by just such an agreement as this, known os the Cushing protocol, that war with Spain was averted as a result of th* Virginius affair. This course hav ing the weight of precedent, may he adopted in this case. It is probable that in th. Philippine? the greatest difficulty will be met In put ting the agreement Into effect, on account of the attitude of the insurgents, hut M.rritt is now daily gaining in strength and pr• be gan be for.* hostilities were d**!ured t be closed, ami if it is desirable, this* r* :ti forcoinents may be intercepted and r» turned the Cniied States r tit y sail.

Wheeler said he was pa roled and produced a parole in the name of “Lieutenant Sharpe.” The sergeant in charge of tile scouting party read the papers and said; “These papers are not right.” “You seem to doubt my veracity.” said Wheeler, feigning great indignation. “Will." replied the sergeant. “I hap pened to be your prisoner two woks ago.

A Canadian on the Commission. ■There is a timely article in the Au gust Forum by Edward Farrar on “The Anglo-American Commission,’* which is shortly to sit in Quebec to settle, if possible, the questions that have Ion? been a source of irritation between our Canadian neighbors and ourselves. Mr Farrar, who is a Canadian journalist particularly well qualified to speak of the subjects that .are to be discussed by the commission, says that “with the exception of the Venezula controversy, which soon subsided, ail the disputes that have? taken place between Eng land and the United States since the (leneva award, that is to say, in' the last five and twenty years, have been disputes of Canadian or Newfound land origin. He further points out that the ques tions involved have little or no interest for Englishmen, because of their sub stantial insignificance. Take the seal question, for instance, which for ten years past has been causing no end »>i trouble between England and this coun try, led to the exchange of reams of ve hement dispatches that almost precipi tated;', war, and finally was adjudicated by an international tribunal—how much was involved in it? Mr. Farrar says that the? aggregate tonnage of the* Hritish Columbia sealing licet does not exceed 3500 tons, while as to tin- merits of tin* controversy there are not a half dozen persons in the United Kingdom that understand them. The commercial relations between the United States and Canada is the actuating cause for the existence of tin* commission. Ever since his acces sion to power, two years ago. Sir Wil frid Laurier has been paving the way for a commission of this kind. Canada is tin* third best customer of the Uni ted States, and is far more valuable* to us, according to the figures of Mr. Far rar, than all of the* Latin republics put together. Consequently commercial reciprocity will he* one of the important subjects considered. The* alien labor laws will also be taken up with a view tei their modification to the mutual ad vantage of both countries. The Alas ka boundary line is another and quite intricate subject to l»e settled by the commission. The Itehring sea and Newfoundland fishery questions will also come up for final settlement, and probably there will be a revision of the “understanding” of 1817 respecting gunboats on the lakes. All these matters are of the highest interest to both countries and should be arranged to the advantage of both. XflP^pirit of amity that now prevails between the two countries and mutual I concessions ought to accomplish this 4 A Good Year for Farmers. Experience has amply proved that the years of “good times” for the farm er are the years of greatest national prosperity, it is always in the train of the weevil and the drought, the grass hopper and the cyclone, that political walking delegates like Bryan, Debs and Altgeld come along and find a listening audience. But last year tin* farmers were too busy harvesting their abun dant crops and paying off their mort gages to listen to quacks and dema gogues. and there is every indication that 1S98 will equal, if it does not ex ceed, tin* great farmers’ year of 1897. According toexpert figures, tin* farm ers profited last year a thousand mill ion dollars over lN9f». Nearly one-half this enormous profit went to pay off farm mortgages, and tin* balance made extensive home improvements and swelled tin* farmer's hank balance. Money has accumulated in Western banks to such an extent as to cause a decided fall in tin* interest rate on farm loans, while the exports of agri cultural products during the year end ing June 20 equalled in volume the en tile crop of the three years, 1 S0:>, 1894 and 1S95. Croat as was last year's achievement for tin* farmer, the prospect for this fall is oven brighter. The Western "heat fields are already yellowing iO tin* finest crop on record, and tin* price is likely to be even better tiian hist year. This year, too, the farmer is in condition to own his wheat crop and hold it for a still better price. Last year he was, as a rule, compelled to sell or mortgage his crop before it. was har vested, and did not reap the full ad vantage of “dollar wheat.” Corn, oats ami hay are similarly promising, and in the few instances in which pro longed drought has lessened the yield of some of tin* farmers’ staples the higher prices likely to prevail ought to more than compensate for a crop short age. There good crop conditions are not only true of the West but of Maine also. The close of the war, whatever may be the terms of peace, is bound to open new markets for the farm products of our country and inaugurate a new era of agricultural prosperity. Cuba and P‘»rto Kico, whatever their political future, will be wide open to American commerce, Hawaii and the Philippines will throw open the gates not only of these islands, but indirectly of China, Japan and the entire Asiatic coast. The American farmers’ lot has not been for several years previous to 18!)S a par ticularly happy one, but his day of prosperity is surely dawning. Aguinaldo protests that he is not suffering from a large head. He de clares that if America will be frank with him and tell him what Its Philip pine policy is, he will be a faithful ally. Naturally he regards the situation a little differently than we do In this country. The shimmering satin is raveled aipl rent. The spangles are scattered, the feath ers are frayed, The sticks have been broken, and never again The blush of her beautiful cheek will it shade.

He further remarks that it seems to him that mir “free and easy" Americanisms, and our squeam ish disregard of the old axioms of our forefathers relative to obedience arc* breeding a race of hoodlums in place of men and women. The Portland Kxpress has decided that nerves arc? queer things: being brought to this conclusion by the ex periences of a Westbrook woman who was so nervous during initiation into a secret society that no one has been able to induce her to enter the hall sine**; but who on being awakened tin* other night by a noise in the kitchen as of some one falling down stairs, sprang from her bed and striking a light, has tened below, where* a window which had been forced open and the open cel lar door told the* story of a burglar who had broken into tin* house, and going clown cellar for something to eat, had fallen bumpty-ty-bump down the stairs. This so aroused her sense of the ludicrous, that there alone in the night she stood and laughed. Then it occurred to her that the burglar must have struck his head against the cellar wall and perhaps have broken his neck, so going along to the head of the* stairs she called, “Are you killed?” Just then her husband appeared upon the* scene. Ppon looking around they found a small hand lamp lying upon the floor under the table, where it had appar ently been kicked. So deciding that the housebreaker was hungry, and lighting the lamp had placed it at the head of the stairs while he went down cellar in search of something to eat. and by falling with such a noise, he had scampered up the* stairs and kicked the lamp as the quickest way of cx- tinguishing the light, and had depart *d through the. window whence he had come in. they went back to bed. When asked if she went to sleep again that j night, she replied, “Yes indeed, I'll f*TllOM Wl Leave Behind." Men are care less about their lives for their own sakes, but a kind and tender man should think of others he should think if he should die of those he leaves behind to grieve and sorrow and struggle on without him. For this reason alone, if for no other, every man should re gard his health as a precious treasure not to be thrown away or spent and scattered in vain.

The American army has adopted the rebel yell. The famous war cry of the Confed eracy is alive today, hut it is the hoys in Ulue who unlimber their vocal chords and screech like a lot of old “robs” as they dash to the charge. The men of Massachusetts yell just as lustily as the men south of the Ma son and Dixon line. In fact, the Northern troops, and particularly those from New York, seem to place groat confidence in the horrible screech. The roar and rousing cheer which encouraged the boys of ’01 who were battling for the preservation of the I’nion seems to live in memory only. Jt has been succeeded by the blood curdling yell which the wearers of the “ragged jacket” made heard far above the howl of the shell, the roar of tie cannon or the hark of the musket. In M.M tin* old yell is heard again. It is not generally known that yell ing when the charge is on is prescrib ed in the army regulations. •‘When from thirty to fifty yards from the enemy emit a yell,” saith the drill book, and tier yell that fills the air is the plain old-fashioned rebel ‘Y— Yu- Yo— Wo—Wo!* The New Yorkers turn loose a fearful yell with th« charge, ami the 3th llegiment of Mary land lets go an own .more dangerous howl. The* sound is nothing of the natur* of a cheer. It is a wild, un earthly cross between a screech and a well that is calculated not only to strike terror to the enemy, hut to en courage our own boys. The v*-11 is supposed to put the finishing touehes to the enemy. The Americans in their eharge, having cov» red all but about thirty yards of th* distance until the Spaniards an* re.iehed, dash forward from a double-quick to a mad rush, yelling wildly, for the triple purpose of encouraging each other and confusing and terrorising the enemy. There is not a question of doubt that the battle cry of the American army is tie- “rebel yell” of old. and Its adop tion by tin Hoys in HIue Is a gn-nt compliment to the m* n who set i; to music of bullets thirty-s v»*n years ago. The 3th took to the yell most nat urally. There are men in the com mand who “sang in th** choir” of ‘61. and who nn delighted to hear tie- re vival of th»* old but never-to-be-for gotten “melody.” (\iptain H doldsborough of Com pany 1 says the veil junior, is the real thing, and it is the opinion that it is th*- we.-test “music” h»* ever heard. When th** “order to the charge” is given tie- men start forward at a dou ble-quick. Then, us the enemy's line is nenr»*d. the spurt lo gins, the yell is given, and all is over, perhaps.

C. T. U. Saturday was an ideal day for an outing down river and the poor chil dren of this city to the number of 150 wore taken down on the Islander to Five Islands where they disembarked and passed the day very pleasantly, until 3 o’clock, when they took the boat for home, arriving here shortly after 7. They had a very enjoyable time in tlu- strings and playing among the tret's at the grove after they ate their picnic dinner which was furnished by various kind hearted ladies and gen tlemen of the city. This annual excursion which is pro vided for by popular subscription and managed by theW. C. T. IT. is a bright spot in the children's lives anti looked forward to by them for many weeks. Mrs. Oscar Hid way anil Mrs. A. tt. I.atid bail charge of the children on tlie excursion and were helped by two men. A TRIUMPHAL RETURN. Augusta Cadets Give Exhibition Drill on Their Way Home from Camp. The Augusta cadets have returned from t lit*ir second tour of duty at Camp Scribner and they all had a very de lightful time as well as doing some good hard drilling. It was just after 3 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, when the Cadets marched into the head of Water street and all along the route large crowds lined the sidewalks anil wtitehed the boys as they marched past. They showed signs of fatigue near the last end of it. but still kept their lines in good shape. A halt was made in front of Allen’s block while Mai-^h^C Morse and his officers cleared Ilaymarket square The march was then resumed and the cadets filed into the square in skirmish order. Here in answer to the bugle calls they performed all the evolutions of an attack on an enemy’s breast works. The charge up the hill to the railroad track was the sign for a hearty hurst of applause. CORPORAL POORE DEAD. Member of Co. F Dies of Typhoid Fever at Chickamauga. News of the death of Corporal Walter W. Poore of Co. F. 1st Maine Volun teers, at Chickamauga. with typhoid fever, was received in the city, Satur day. It will he remembered that Cor poral Poore came from North Anson, immediately after the graduation ex ercises of North Anson academy, of which he was principal, and enlisted in the Augusta company. lie had been ill for some time hut the news of his death shocked his many friends. II.» was a graduate from Bowdoin. class of ’PI, and for four years was the suc cessful principal of North Anson acad emy. lie left a wife and many warm personal friends. Corporal Poore was the only volunteer of North Anson, and went from purely patriotic motives, leaving a salary of $1000 to go to the front, lb* was a member of Northern Star Lodge of Free Masons. Civil bervicc txamination. A civil service examination will he holil at Hath, Me., for tin* customs ser vice on some* date between October 1 and l-\ 189K. All persons who desire to be examined should apply to the un dersigned for instruction and applica tion blanks. Applications on Form 101 must be tiled in complete form with tin* sec retary of the board af examiners prior to the hour of closing business on September 1, 1808. Applicants will be duly notified of the date of the exami nation. H. H. COUGHLIN, Secretary Customs Hoard, Hath, Me. The Misses Reynolds of Watervilb*. are in the city, visiting friends, for a few weeks. Gold Found in the Philippine Islands. On Mindanao, one of the Philippine Is lands. gold is found in the river beds, hut owing to the primitive conditions pre vailing there it is not known how rich these* deposits are. With ihe advance of civilization this matter will be fully in vestigated by shrewd prospectors. Great discoveries may he made, but no discov i cry was ever greater than Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters, which civilization long ago investigated and found to be all that is claimed for it. In cases o.f loss of ap 1 petite, indigestion, biliousness and con stipation it acts in a truly wonderful manner. The bowels are made to act mildly, the desire for food is increased, 1 sour stomachs are sweetened, and a healthy color is given to the face. A trial is recommended. CAMP POWERS Practice in Skirmish Shooting Com menced, Saturday. An Exceptionally Quiet Day. Sunday. With Lott ol Visitors in Camp. Notwithstanding the peace reports there is a general feeling among the officers ami men of the three batteries of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery stationed at Camp Powers that they will see service before they are mustered out of the iJnlted States service. It Is understood that they cannot be discharged until December, anyway, but it is probable that they will remain in the service longer titan that, even if not for the full two years. They also think that they won't be sent to Fort Knox nr any other Maine fort, but will garrison some Tort in the South or on the coast of the middle Atlantic states If not sent to Cuba or Porto Rico. They are all of the opinion that the lat ter would be preferable. Still nothing definite in the shape of or ders has arrived, in spite of the reports to the contrary that have been floating around during the past few days. The rumors are of the settled order kind which were so frequent during the few days before the 1st Maine volunteers •went to their camp at Chlckamaugn. Sunday was a very quiet day in camp, there being nothing to relieve the monot ony beyond the large number of visitors who were at the camp during the day. Most Of them were of tile gentler sex, .and nearly half of the men were seen sit ting along the stone fence or near there with a sweetheart. Many of the boys went down street in tile morning and attended church at some of the city churches, but there were no services at the camp. -Major Newcomb will return, tomorrow, and he will find the camp in very i xeel lent shape. There Is no waste paper to bi> seen, or rubbish of any description, for Capt. Ilume. who has been In command of the camp during the major’s absence, has made the men in the guardhouse wairk to advantage. Three new men have been plaeed In tile guardhouse bir being away from the eamp without leave and staying away long, r than their passes al lowed them. Tiny had the pleasure of digging some now dlu lies for the sinks, Saturday. The health of the imp Is remarkably good, till re being less lekness now than at any time since the boys have been here. This is accounted for by the faet that there is hut very little hard drinking and the men are careful of wli.it they eat and how they eat It. All bakers' carts and peddlars of articles that would be injurious to the general health are not allowed on the grounds. Lieut. Hutton will issue the rest of the equipment, excepting side arms and rille slings, to the men, today. The matter of new uniforms is still agitating the men who have uniforms which are shabby, li is not detlnitely known when they will be Issued, but probably some time before long. They may lie the regular army trousers, without any stripes on the side, lint more likely they will be purchased from tiie Stale and be the same as tlte National Ouard. The three batteries were Instructed in skirmish shooting, Saturday, and their scores made at unknown distances by the men Were regarded by Pol. Farrington, the instructor of rille practice, as remark ably tine. The following are the scores made: BATTERY B.

This is the next to the last squad that will be sent out by the Augusta recruiting oltlee as the complement was filled, Saturday, ami the remaining men will leave sometime during the we.-k although the exact day is not known. The men who went Saturday were under the charge of Jerry Tuell, a member of Co. D, who was injured while at Camp Towers before the regi ment went South. The men were Tib betts 15. Cochrane, William J. Sullivan, Philip M. Wiggin, Andrew J. Mail docks, Frank K. Spencer, Harry W. Heughen, Edward I,. Foster, O. War ren Pease, Albert X. Pratt and Call Cotton. Corporal LaFarriere of the recruiting office, went to his home in Norway to pass Sunday. Private Clark was at Portland and Private Russell at Lewis ton. The men connected with the recruit ing office have had some very excellent group pictures taken as mementos of the pleasant time they have had here. Fred M. Lake and John Hunter of Richmond and William and Melvin Wyman of Burnham were the last four men to be examined and accepted for the 1st Maine Regiment, at the re cruiting office in this city. Tile quota of 107 men is now completed and the last men will leave early in the week, as they have been ordered to report, today. There was one man over who passed the examination and if one of till- other men fall to appear he will be sent in their place. STREET AND NUMBER WANTED.

AT GOOD WILL Nothing Lacking to Make a Perfectly Good Time. Splendid Attendance, Sunday—Sermon by Rev. G. W. Hinckley. All the Exercises ol the Assembly Being Greatly Enjoyed. Quod Will Pinos, Fairfield, Me., Aug. 7.—(Special).—To be awakened in the night, by the palter of rain drops on the tent, accompanied by the occasion al flash of lightning and the rumble of distant thunder is not a common experience to the average boy camper; but it is one of interest and value: A rainy day in camp by no means brings the discomfort often imagined by those who stay at home and try to extract comfort out of an umbrella, a tire place and a newspaper. A well ordered camp of boys, with Mr. Hinckley in the midst, is all right, however hard it may rain. We know whereof we speak, since for several hours the rain almost incessantly fell. But if anyone imagines that we sat and watched the clouds and wondered if it was ever going to stop raining, or that everybody was cross and un happy. please come up and see us the next rainy day. Many declared the day to lie the best thus far. The assembly tent is oblong and is made easily into an amphitheatre with a line arena for games and races of va rious kinds. We had contests of great variety, we had music of all sorts, we had “stacks of fun;” and while we played and laughed the sun came out full and clear, and then the boys start ed for the swim. A glad surprise greeted us in the form of readings by Mr. B. H. Ladd of Waterville. We had known him during these days as an editor of the Waterville Sentinel, and a sharp sighted, efficient and gen tlemanly newspaper reporter; hut th modesty and reserve so characteristic of newspaper men had shut from ou" sight his elocutionary efforts until the1 eagle-eyed Hinckley saw in the young man unused talent. He blushed, be smiled and then re sponded to the call: and the boys went wild over him and his reciting. He proved a “dark horse,” as few parts taken in this year's programme have given greater satisfaction. Tile graphophone concert in the even ing called out a large house. Mr. Hinckley manipulated the machine and made as clear as mud some of its scien tific properties. Notwithstanding the fact that there were a few points which we did not perfectly understand, all agreed in declaring the thing "wonder ful." We heard Oilmore’s Orchestra Sousa's hand, several prominent solo ists. I ir. Talmadge and other persons of note. Wo also "made a record” as Mr. Myw or sans and the audience sans ■And cheered and then we listened t*tj|»ur own voices, greatly to our .a light. Saturday morning d*v>r nal hour was led by Mr. E. M. Stacy of Water ville. The importance of the armour was emphasized in a suggestive and helpful manner. At 10 o’clock, the drawing power of Menander Dennett and the bright sunshine was evident in the large audience which sat under and stood around the ssembly tent. Water ed le. Skou began. Fairfield were well represented. Mr. Dennett met the ex pectation of the people, greatly delight ing old and young with things new and old At times the hoys were nearly convulsed with laughter; and notwith standing the fact that for six years he has h«»on with us, the common verdict is "come again.” In tin* afternoon an unusually large company went to tin* athletic field to witness tin* game of ball between tin* Oakland and (Joed Will nines. Much interest was manifested in this ganu as the reputation of the Oakland team as good ball players had proceeded them. It was an interesting and snap py game, retaining its interest until its close. rp to the fifth inning the game ap peared to he an easy one for the visi tor*-’, hut after that time, tin* steadiness and power of endurance of the honn team were evident. Doth Tobey and Nutter did effective work in the box, and their pitching was well hacked up by Higgins, while the field work of the whole team was very commendable. At the middle of the eighth inning the score stood 17 to 12, in favor of Good Will. Saturday evening was devoted to a social religious service under tin* lead ership of Mr. Hinckley. It was a fit ting close to a very pleasant happy week. Sunday morning opened bright and fair. The quiet of the morning was un broken. except by birds and squirrels, un til later than usual. It was real Sahhath quiet. A gentle west wind made the grove very comfortable. At !*.30 a company of hoys met Mr. Hinckley in an informal service under the trees near “Rest a •While." Long before 10.20. every sitting in the Assembly tent was taken, and when the opening hymn was announced, scores were standing and sitting all about the tent. After an inspiring praise service. Mr. Hinckley preached an impressive sermon itroni the words "The Lord was with Jo seph." He drew lessons of a very prac tic'd character from the life of Josaniel purposed in his heart." It was aft hour of prompt, earnest and intelligent testimony, a large number de claring most heartily their purpose. «Iiasy Foofi isy to Jiuy, isy to Cook, asy to Eat, isy to Digest. uakcr Oats At all grocers ■lb. p*gs. only ■trehldlytoDcolar The day has been one full o*f blessings. We had the largest attendance in the his tory of the Assembly. Fully 1000 people have been here. Scores and hundreds of teams were on the grounds and neighbor ing Holds.

The house which is closed for the sum mer this year is not left in deshabille. There is no longer a question of stuffy white linen covers for couch or chair, of Ourtains rolled lip in unlovely muslin par cels, of furniture in heaps, of disorder which won't allow one to put a foot down. There is no asphyxiating smell of camphor and tar 'hall. The smart apart ment this year wears a most habitable aspect, even in Its summer undress. The furniture is all m place. It is «overed with coquettish little slips of flowered cretonne, frilled and tucked to perfect prettiness. The heavy winter curtains have been removed. In their place are inexpensive draperies of the same dow ered cretonne that covers the chairs. The carpet is gone and the boards are cov ered. with Japanese mattings or natty linen affairs. like those used for dancing. Decorative articles have all been stored, hut the room is cool, fresh and summery. She can run up from shore or country for a day’s shopping and pass 24 hours under her own roof in perfect comfort. To have the closed house in disorder now adays is to mark yourself behind the times. Out of tin* 84 women admitted to the St. Louis Insane asylum last year, 08 were from domestic service. The rest of the list comprised one clerk, one fae tory hand, one music teacher, one sales woman, two seamstresses, one tobacco stemmer, six without occupation and three unknown.

Some i>f the hoys the First Mulin' at hickannuuga Have manned to mix in a teiw bright Hours with 4 ho dreary rou tine of camp life. A. rt. Ncwcombe of Co. H., well known in this city where he was for a time connected with the Jour nal, sends us the following interesting account of a recent trip made by the tlrst ‘Maine band and quartette down the Tennessee river to Shelmont, Alabama. I hey went with a big excursion, at the request of its management, lor the first Maine music has been much appreciated there. At ter the. usual morning drill on July tin' 1st Maine band under tin- leader ship ot 1 rot. J. Mortimer Howe and the 1st Maine quartet consisting of r. \V. Stowell, J. II. Ilezelton, Jr.. O. \V. Stick my and A. It. Ncwconibe, left the monot ony ot amp I nomas and accompanied a party' ot excursionists on a beautiful sail down the Tennessee river to Shelmont a small but picturesque little town on the side of a range of mountains. We left the wharf at about 110.30 A. »M. and arriv o'clock I*. and Stepped ’hattanooga d at our des M. The sail was one that will long be renu mbered by every one on board. The perfect weather, the beautiful scenery and cool air, to gether with the music from ihe band and quartet, all blended to make the trip of unusual interest to ail. Just before landing, the band played several parting selections to tin* boat's crew, who were very kind and took pains to point out each and every spot of his torical interest. We left tin* boat after we had bade our adieus ashore. Here we were met by several compe tent guides, ail eager in their efforts to show us the wonders of Nicker.jack cave, tin* opening of which, is located one quarter of a mile from tin* point of where t he three states, Tennessee, Ueorgia and Alabama come together. The cave Is es timated to be about nine miles long and runs directly through the heart of these mountains. We did not explore it that distance, however, owing to our shortage of rations, hut if we stop here long enough to get another furlough, it is our earnest intentions of spending a day or two in the cave, supplied with plenty of candles and torches and visit some of the chambers, and ravines that have as ye* been unexplored by man. In our travels through the cave, we came across a large room that was very thickly populated with bats. This room is nearly three-quarters of a mile in the cave, and there are lots of small holes and alleyways through which one must pass in order to get to it, yet they say that all the bats come out .it night and find -their way hack again in the morn ing. These little wingeo animals, bearing such a marked resemblance to a mouse, were not especially pleasing to the ladles in our party, and I think one or two f the men breathed a sigh of relief when they had passed beyond this place, and some even began to inquire for a way back without passing by the pests. This, was not possible, however, without trav eling several miles out of our way. After leaving the bat chamber we jour neyed on, sometimes stumbling over large rooks that lay in our path, and causing us to thump our heads against an over would have to g« t down on our hands and km s a ml crawl 75 or 1 t: this was not particularly amusing to the ladh s. hut in starting in they were ready with tin* men to suffer any inconveniences which might la fall us. so no complaints wore hoard except when the guides who wn thoroughly familiar with nearly all tin* different paths loading around through the cave, would suddenly turn a corner. leaving the rear flank in total darkness. Tin* paths were all very rough and a great deal of climbing, crawling and jumping had to be done. After getting along about another half mile, without coming in contact with any thing particularly worthy of mention, we suddenly appeared into another large; opening. Tills was rightly named the j Methodist chapel. The similarity was very noticeable in that it contained mar ly a perfect altar and v.ral medium sized boulders that would answer the pur pose of seats. Tile quartet, by request, occupied the scats bv tin- side of tin* al tar. atnl ivnderi d v. r il of their beau tiful selections; among them "The Vacant Chair.” which is one of their favorite pieces, and the effect in the cave was grand, the voices all harmonizing in such perfect melody. As wo continued our journey through the cave We came across t great many wonderful formations in the rocks, some cavities extending through a solid ledge 25 or 2*1 fed. and when crawling in i shor: distance, you could v« ry easily detect im pressions’of sea llsln s in tin* walls, also a number of .-bells. Several of these wane brought hack by members of our party for s.divenirs. After getting into the cave nearly a mile and a half, we turned around and eome hark, going over a little different path than we had en t. r. d. We did not. however, escape the furious bats. They had already sounded the assembly, and were lined up en masse in a perfect swarm when we entered, hardly getting over their previous fright caused by our sudden appearance. Hut we got safely through without eitner loss of lib or limb, and came out of the cave perfect I sound and greatly pleased with the many sights we had seen. And we all agreed that if an opportunity present ed itself we would all come again, and explore it still furtlu r. A R. N KAY COM RR. The August races to held Wednes day P.

A Collection ol Other Floating Particle* el Worldly Talk. Several men were seated in the lobby "f the State House,yesterday afternoon, telling snake stories. Snake stories are always Interesting, as the subject al lows the narrator a chance to use his imagination. Nearly every man can tell a snake story, because he Is not ex pected to adhere strictly to the truth. This year, it is said, there Is a large crop of rattlesnakes, bull snakes, blue racers and garter snakes. In the West. A gentleman who has lived In the Northwest for many years, said that in some localities the rattlers are so thick it will I>C dangerous for prairie chicken hunters. These snakes kill a great many bird dogs every year, but it is seldom that a hunter is bitten by one of them. He declared that a snake is very revengeful. “When my wife was a little girl," lie said, "she lived on a farm in Plymouth county. One day, in company with her sister, she went out picking wild strawlicrrles. In trying to capture a gopher she reached in a hole and pulled out a handful of small snakes. The young reptiles were killed, and the girls returned home. They had been ill tile house tint a few minutes when they heard a soft tapping on the window pane. At the window appeared two large rattlers with glittering eyes and poisonous fangs trying to effort an entrance. Tile old snakes were in quest of tile young ones, and displayed vicious tempers. This is a true story." hen lie finished, another man said •hat a number of years ago when he owned a farm several miles east of Sioux City to' saw a hoopsnake which measured twenty feet in circumference rolling down a hill. He chased the reptile on a bicycle for ten miles before he was able to shoot it. This story broke up the party. “Haw you observed what a wry gal lant man Mr. Dashman is.’’ said a young lady, yesterday. “He never ad dresses me without beginning. ‘Fair "(*h, that’s force of habit. He used 1° 1,0 *'i car conductor,” replied her com panion. Waiting on a street corner on State strvet yesterday afternoon for an elec tric car. were two ladies of African dr scent. who were very warm and very much provoked at something. Suddenly one of them with an ex clamation of surprise, jumped and de liberately struck lur friend with the j flat of her hand on the cheek. “What yo’ tryin* t’ do t’ me.woman?” “What yo’ hit tin me with, yo’ brack wench?” Words of anger and gestures indica tive of restrained emotion ensued, fol lowed later by mutual apologies as the cause of the misunderstanding was re vealed by the derisive yells of a half dozen small boys, two of whom were armed with bean blowers. The following which may apply to some Augusta people is taken from an exchange. Flossed is the man who is "on time;” for his steed shall never bolt in the race for success. Flossed is the woman who knows how to make sunshine; for she shall bo always busy. Hlessed is the man who has forgot ten how to grumble; for he shall have a monument higher than (’kopatras 11., Blessed is tho umnan who ran live without “stylo;” for she shall ho lot serenely alone. Hloss. il is tho man who "pays the freight;” for ho shall ho exalted above kings. I {leased is tho woman who can strike a “bargain counter” and not bankrupt her husband: for she shall be much sought for in the land. messed is tho man who refrains from lolling his wife how his mother “did;" for tho dove of peace shall settle on his household. messed is the woman who can see tho faults of her children; for they will one day rise up and thunk her. Blessed is tho man who likes a oold dinner on a hot day; for his wife will livo long to cook for hint. Hejoice O, ye people, and he exceed-I ing glad; for a few such are found in the land. _ “I heard a good story the other day." remarked an Augusta merchant. "It was alsiut an old man who evidently had gained the impression that the common citizen had no rights where there was a railroad concerned. "An old farmer was riding along in a Maine town, a few years ago. when he was struck while crossing the railroad track by a train, due wholly to the carelessness of tho engineer on the train. The old fellow was knocked sev eral feet and his horse killed, besides destroying his old wagon. He was picked up and brought to conscious ness, by the railroad officials. The con ductor started to say something to him when he exclaimed, 'If I have hurt your blamed old train I can pay for it. so don't be Worried.’ “A few days later he was visited by the claim agent of the company, and approached about the subject of settle Wtk* damage*. tSp trid man evidently thought the damages were going to the road so he said, ‘Well, If you are liound to make me pay Tor any damages that I may have done to your engine, how much is It. I can pay and don't you forget It.' "Of course the agent explained that the damage would in court go the other way, and he won the good graces of the man so that he was only obliged to pay a few dollars for the damage done, where the farmer might have col lected five times as much." Captain Lovejoy la Better. The following telegram was received b.v D. B. Lovejoy, Saturday, from Dr. G. A. Baxter, at East I.ake, Tenn., re garding his son, Capt Lovejoy of Co. F\ 1st Maine Volunteers: Has remittent fever symptoms; so far satisfactory. Anticipate favorable progress. Two men in civilian's clothes al though they claimed to be soldiers, made themselves very obnoxious by the use of vulgar language on State street, yesterday afternoon, shortly after .t o'clock while under the in fluence of liquor and were arrested by Officers Chase and Miron.
