of physical or mental strength within
tJjf* paM few years.
Mr. how was a teetotaler from early
youth. Tbe custom of offering wine
among refreshments at social parties in
Portland was largely put down by him
arid his two sisters, who, the first of all
in that city, entertained their friends in
large numbers without intoxicants. He
YV}i“ drawn into the warfare against
the liquor traffic accidentally.
There was a lady well-known to Mr.
Dow and his family, whose husband, an
edneated man, holding an important
tmbJic oflioe, was a dipKomatiiae. Thla
ladv amt for Mr. Dow one day and told
him that lu r husband was away again
on a time. Mr. Dow went to a certain
nnnsbop where Mr. Blank resorted and
told the rnmseller the whole story, en
treating him not to sell the man any
more liquor. The rumseller replied:
“H’s my business to sell rum, and I
have a license for it. I'll sell to anybody
who asks for it who has the money to
pay for it. I support my family by
selling liquor.” replied:
Mr. Dow indignantly then, sell
“It s your business, to rum,
and you have a license for it? You
.«mpiiort ronr family, do yon, by defltroy
lug Ollier people’s families? Heaven
iclping me, I’ll change all that 1 ”
.Mr Dow led Mr. Blank homo, nnu
from that day commenced an active,
persistent, uuoeasiug warfare against
the grog shops. Innumerable meetings
were held all over the State, in small
towusaud villages na well ns in large
towns and cities, everywhere denoimc
ing tbe liquor traffic. When
opinion prepared Mr. for Dow the overthrow supposed,
of grog shops, as
be pri iiwcil a bill entitled “An act for
the suppression of drinking houses and
tippling si,ops.” Ilia friends said it
was too riuli<- il. lie went to Augusta
with his hill in his pocket, lmd a public
he.ring in the Hepreseutalives' Hall
lM.ft.rc- a joint select committee, which
agre.-d until.imouHlv to report the bill
with.,nt ■limige. The next, day was the
laet one of the HPHsiou. That night Mr.
Dow had Ins bill printed, it was early placed
on tlie desks of the members in
the morning, and on that day was passe,1
through nil its stages to be enacted, and
went int elU-et on its approval by the
Governor.
Within six mouths the jails in five of
the counties were empty, as well as the
houses ol correction of Cumberland

immediately to un end.
Fifty Years a Compositor.
_
There is in the employ of the Z San
aecutn-e year of labor "at the ease."
While in many pursuits a half a century
shL n k «l l i ticniarly worthy of remark,
the fact that life insurance tables
on i. long curse of actual experience
place the av. - age duration of a printers
hfe at but thirty-two years, renders
tbe present a noteworthy case. To the
(initiated m the mysteries of the art pro
aervative this fifty years of continuous
and wearying toil presents startling
features m the wav of figures. For in
stance, assuming a fair average rate
of spe-d, it will \>e found that
enormous amount of 109,550,000 ems of
matter have been set by this compositor
during tho half century. In sotting this
it was necessary to handle ovet .128,000
000 separate pieces of metal twice over,
inehiding tlie prooess oi composition and
distribution.
Upon examination it is found that the
type so set would weigh some 17'.*,000
pounds or 80 tons, which has been lifted
p.eco by piece in this pt-riod. In tv.v

of some 1.0 miles or nearly !
times the circuit of the globe, ik-sides
tbis. the d mt juice gone over in distril.u
tion is to 1«> considered, which of itself
would i mount to no mean figure. This
tyi*e would fill just 15,215 of columns. If

would form a belt two inches wide by
Jfcl.fitk! feet in length, or six and a half
miles of solid reading matter. Put these

Some years before the war, Otis Bur
ton, a farmer residing near Bangor, left
to seek his fortune in the West. He
drifted to Missouri, where he met an ac
complished younglady with whom lie fell
u love. She was pleased with h.m, but
before lie made Lis passion known she
moved to a distant part of the South.
And about this time the war
out, and the two lost all traces of wach
other. Burton joined the Union army,
and was soon afterward wounded, and,
as it was supposed he would die, a Iette*
was sent to bis mother informing bet
that her son could not live. He, how
ever, was blessed with a good constitu
tion and recovered. He went back to
his regiment, and was detailed with a
company to take supplies across the
plains. The party was attacked by In
dians, and every man except Butron
killed. He was reported to have beeD
nlain with tbe rest. The Indians de
cided to let him live, and took him a
prisoner to their retreat in the moun
tains in the Southwest. He gradually
recovered from wounds ho had received
in the encounter, made himself agree
able to his captors, and adapted himself
to their way of living.
After ho had been in captivity six
months or more he was allowed more
liberty, and now began to watch for a
elianco to escape. The Indians had
stolen a number of ponies, and among
them was one which Burton’s practiced
eye showed him was highly bred, swift,
and with speed and endurance. This
pony was cared for and petted by Bur
ton, and ho was allowed to ride him.
One day he strayed away further than
usual, and though not acquainted with
the country, made a clash for liberty.
He was closely pursued, but the gallant
little pony had the “bottom” for a win
niug race. He rode three days, and
then began to see that be was out of the
hostile country. In the distance hesaw
a house which be knew must be inhabi
twl by whites. Ho shouted with joy,
feeling that he lmd gained freedom at
last. He knocked at the door of the
house and a surprise awaited him. It
was opened by tbe woman he had loved
in ang syne. He was nt once recognized
and received a hearty welcome. Burton
told his adventures and narrow escape
to a willing listener. She, too, told her
story. She had married a Confederate
officer, who was afterward killetUn bat

war A storyA Y a8Wng4on middle-aged ‘“"i 8 man ^ Uttl9 ap
prooched .asked Gen. his Hampton the other day
liu d influence in pressing a
claim before the Military Committee of
the Senate. The stranger then said:
“General, I am glad to see you again.
You do not recognize me, but you per
sonally made a prisoner of me during
ho war. Comparing notes, Hampton
found out it was a fact, and recalled the
circumstance. He was reconnoitring one
night and massed ins way. Arouud him
burned many more camp fires than ha
laid left behind him. Eutering a house,
be discovered that he had strayed into
the enemy’s line. A few soldiers address- were
seated at a table, and abruptly
ing them, as if a superior officer of their
own army, he asked who they were and
spoke what they and were replied doing there. One man
up : “We belong to
the Eighth New York Regiment, and
Gen. Warren sent us to get milk”
Hampton felt that all of his nerve and
address would be required to extricate
himself from this dangerous position.
He reached for his pistol, held it along
his thigh, and, on leaving the house,
commanded the man who had spoken to
him to follow. Ho did so. Hampton
mounted his horse and called tbe man
to him. Bending down to the Federal
soldier's ear bk whispered: “I have a
j„. s tol aimed at your head and will shoot
you if any alarm is made.” The sur
prised soldier whispered : “Don’t shook

One remarked that he had been ruined
in Wall street, another was busted in

The village of Deseronto, Ontario, is
said to be lighted with gas made from
sawdust. The lumber company, to
which tbe settlement owes its life, cuts
fifty million feet of jumber annually,
and what to do with the huge heaps of
sawdust has been a vexations problem,
Before introduction mto the retorts the
sawdust is thoroughly to-thirty dried, after feet which of
from twenty thousand
gas are obtained from a ton. In lllumi
nating power it is said to be equal to
