In every city in Maine under Republican, rule, ex cept Portland, the law has been and is absolutely, ignored. A course which needs an. untruthful pretext to excuse it will not long be chosen by upright men. If prohibition did prohibit, would it be necessary after more than twenty years of prohibition in Maine to make a vigorous prohibition can vass in that State with an out and out prohibition party in the field opposing both; the long time parties? But such a canvass has been made, and in making it the prohibitionist have unwittingly given to theiiues- tion, "Does orohibition prohibit V iuc tuuiiuuiiii: iiuaniK vj Mrs. Pullman's Palace Car.

Stonewall Col. lieuryKvd Douglas contrib- Ml . utea an uiosiraiea paptfr on ione--. all Jackson i a Maryland,' to the Century, from iwhich we quote as follows : .: j : j'The ueit Evening, Sunday, he went into Frederic for the first time" to Attend church, and there being noj service in the Presbyterian church be went to the German Re formed. As usual he fell asleep, but this lime more soundly than vali his wont, j His head sunk upon his breast, his tap dropped from his hands to the floor, the players of the congregation did not disturb him. and only the choir and the deep-toned organ awakened htm. Afterwards I learned thatHhe min ister was credited with much loyalty an 4 courage because to had prayed for the president of 'the r' United States in the very presence of Stone wall Jacks6nt Well, the General didn't hear the prayer, and if he hM he would doubtless have -felt like replying as Gen. Ewell did, when asked at j Carlisle, Penn., if he Avon Id permit the usual prayer for! President Lincoln 'Certainly; I'm sure he needs it.' . - .. f'The troops being on the march, the General and statf rode rapidly out of town and took theheatl of the column. Just a fewrwordsbere in regard to 'BarbaraFrietchie,' a touching poem; which sprang full arriied from the loyal brain of Mr. Whittier. A.n; old woman, by that nowjmrnotal name, did live , in Frederick in those days, but she was 34 years bid and bed-rfdden; she never saw Gen. Jackson, and Gen. Jackson never saw her. 1 was with hint every minute of the time he was in that cityhe was there only twice- and nothing like the scene so graphically described by" the poet ever happened. The" 6tory will per haps live, as Mr. Whittier has boasted, untilMt gets beyond, the reach of correction. On the, march that day, the captain of the cavalry advance, just ahead, had instruc tions to let no civilian ga the front, and we enterea each village we passed before the inhabitants knew of ouri coming. - In Middletown two very pretty girls, with ribbons oiired; white and blue floating from their hair, and; small union .flags in j their hands, rushed out of their house as we passed, came to the curb-stone, and wth much laughter waved their colors defiantly in the face of the General. lie bowed and raised his hatband turning, with his quiet smile j to his staff, said : T 'I M 'I . - T Mye eviaeniiy nave no irienas m-i this town. And this i3abojt- the wdy he would have treatetMSarbara r rietchie S" ; pThejDhild of the Confederacy," which is the poetical name confer red upon Miss Davis, the yonngest da-nghter of Jeffersory Davis, is pay ing a visit to the fainily of Gen. "Runy Lee ap Ravens wood, just outside of Alexandria, Va. Ever since the war Miss Davis has lived with her father at his home at Beau voir, Mississippi, and this is her firpt journey from' hr Southern .re treat. A few days ago she went to Rijchmond with her aunt to call upon some of her family friends, and then she came to the home of Gen. Lee, who was one of her fath er's closest friends. Miss Davis is a typical Southern beauty. Iler tatl figure is willowy and graceful, her complexion rich olijve, her eyes hazel and her hair black and curling. She has a com manding presence and her features bespeak the patrician. Her life at Beauvoir has been a quiet but busy one. She has been the chief sup port and consolation Jf her father, and was of valuable assistance to hipi in the preparation of his.fecent history of the war. Miss Davis is receiving much at tention wherever she goes. The "If. F. V.' are overwhelming her ith invitations, of which shd ha3 received several hundreds. (She will, cdKcourse, have to decline mst of thei oh account of f tho shortness of ; hervisit, bu t, . itf is said, her next visitwill be to Gen, Park Custis Lee, aftefwhich she will visit some of the firsliamilies along tidewater Virginia, ohe is still very young, having been "borif at Richmond while her father ruled as i President of the Confederate States. Courting a Southern Girl. fSew York. Star. A correspondent says in the South there is a great deal of sentimental talk, a great deal of quoting from the older poets, Herrick particnlar lyf and a greatf deal of sighing and dying on paper, bat as well a great deal of respect shown. A man of the world wishing to, impress a Southern woman.said, :I will not kiss .jbttt H I yould i not UorxcM the hetn of your garment without your glad consent. ue should I have left off at the first sentence -a Southern lover - would have,1 and then in time would have gained his heart's desire. : Southern love mak ing i3 like "a perfect mayonnaise- the kind made without any mus tard and which delights thefine taste of a gourmet, - btit which would seem insipid to a gourmand. Why Some People 2Itrry. Some marry for the fun ofthe thing, and ntver tee where it comes in. This is discouraging. Borne marry for the sake of a pood ompanion. and nevf r discover their mistake. This is lucky. Man is a fickle 'critter." 'Even Adam, who hatl his wife made, to order, found more or less fault with her. T .''" - . Don't marryjja man for his repu tation, it is liable to ue only a second-hand affair, borrowed from his ancestors. Manv women have married men for their fine exterior. But that'i all there is to an ancient egg worth mentioning. h : Many- a man has married "tor beauty only,. to learn that he paid $20 for what can bei purchased for 23 cents at all drus?gita. This is hard.' f -" V.:- Marriage resulting from -love at first sight is not generally wedded bliss on a par with sour rnilk. One or the other gets swindled, and of ten both. But few people marry for pure love, and they in after years suspi cion that what were at the time promptings of the tender ps&siou were, in all probability, but the first symptoms of cholera morbus. The man who marries, a woman simply because she is a handy ar rangement to have about the house does so from a pure business stand point, and in the end,Jf not com pelled to support him, she has done bdtter than many women I know of. I Goveruing Children. Do not make many promises to your children, but when made keep them. .. . -u- Do not notice every little fault and reprove it. How would you like it yourself? , ; Cultivate courage and self-reliance in children, bo that when -1 it ' Ml f- " - otaer tuey win not areaa responsi bilities.

Be firm, yet gentle, when neces- sary, and insist on obedience Jtfatrble an impression, will, her friends commanas; out never asK. wnat is unreasonable or impossible. Do not expect": rrfectforn A child is an' undeveloped creature, beautiful as a budding rose but it curfnot do everything well any more han its'parents can. . Children should not too frequent ly be. ordered" to do thus and so. When necessary, they may, how ever, be commanded; ordering chil dren about hurts their self-respect. Commanding them, as a dignified officerdoes his army, cultivates' it. Robust Women. Any one who carefully notices the women seen upon New York streets and places of amusement will be struok by the large number of robust girls and women of great physical development. This is to be attributed, we think, to more general knowledge of the laws of health, to the improvement in the quality. and preparation of food and to sanitary conditions, and to' in- t creased participation in out-door sjborts. ' But these conditions do not pre vail to the same extent in the coun try as in the city, and a warning against undue optimism has follow ed the encouraging opinions of the Boston surgeon. In a recent tcom mencjpment address, General Stew art Li Woodford has again called attention: to the unfavorable. fea tureaof the life of farmers' wives; their isolation, the imposition of an amount of work which, saps ' their vitality; jtheir poor food; their lack of change and,, recreation, and the tendency, which naturally follows, to brooding over various subjects. The result is a disconragingly large percentage of insanity among the women- of rural neighborhoods. Attempts "to substitute farming vil lages for scattered farm houses, to introduce solial recreations, and like efforts have been made or sog- sted again and again, but the fact remains mat ine women oi me cuv is usuallyjriiore healthful and lias more vitaliHban the "women of the country. TterVis a problem here still "for our vphysjeians and students of sociology. But it is pleasant to be assured by competent experts that the charge that Amer ican! women are composed merely of skin and bone and nerves and brain, is nolonger justified.

A person might wonder .'why a man would give live cows for a girl, but they are different than the average girl in the metropolit, and it don't cost much to keep a girl in earrings when she wears nothing else but a smile. The old habit of burying tho dead on the farm is gradually dying out in rural towns. And thero is good' reason why it should. Th. farms are changing hands and aro falling into the ownership of stran gers,, the graves in many instances are being ploughed over", and tho resting places of the dead "obliter ated. -' -"' Anna Van Vechten, who more than onceviaited Miss Cleveland at the JVVhite House, and made so favora- iSy 7 return from Eu rope by the 1st would be verv triad if the rpnort. dol j c that she is to marry Justice Grar . should prove correct." j Women's sphere, rolling along the track of time, grows larger and larger, like a snow ball in winter. Soon there will be no pursuit which man can call exclusively his own. Spain has now a woman bull-fighter. Her name is Dolores Sanchez, and the cities of the land of Cervantca contend with fierce rivalry for her presence on great occasions. Johnny and his elder sister made , up the clas3. and Johnny had come to rely on his sister's industry for his lessons. "Johnny, upon what does. the earth revolfe?" asked the teacher.
