The mines of Maine are attracting a great deal of attention, and it is no longer necessary for inhabitants of this part of the country to pat their money into mining enterprises in the far West in order to get the valuable ex perience that is often the return of suoh in vestment. They oan now encourage a "New England industry," which thus far seems to have been carried on in the most approved Arizona or Colorado manner. It is not long since the mineral richness of Maine became apparent to the formers of stock compa nies, but there are 63 incorporated and 31 private companies in the State, according to the list published by the Maine Mining Jour nal, and this list of 97 organizations by no means includes all that have undertaken to ex tract wealth from the Maine rocks, and the number is constantly increasing. The com panies are mostly capitalized at $500,000, the par value of the shares being $5 Or $10. It is claimed that over $14,000,000 has been in vested, that the pay-roll foots up more than $2,000 a day, and that the daily sales of stocks amouut to $5,000. A few of the shares sell above par, but the great majority are con siderably below par. The headquarters of the business is naturally at Bangor, where there is already a mining stock exohange and a weekly 16-page paper entirely the out growth of the new enterprise. There is also an exchange at Portland where the shares of these companies are a specialty, and they are freely dealt in at Boston. It is impossible to tell how muoh of a basis the boom has. It seems to have some. Cop per and silver are found in considerable quart titles, and there are traoes of gold. In the Blue Hill mine State Assayer Hills finds ores yielding from 1.74 to 26.90 per cent, of cop per, 4.8 to 11.4 ounces of silver to the ton, and 15 to .8 ounce of gold. Prof. Frank L. Bartlett, who has pnblished a book on the mines of Maine, says that the Sullivan lode is one of the most remarkable silver-bearing veins ever discovered. He also finds the cop. per deposits of the Blue Hill district very rich and bearing a marked resemblance to the great copper belts of the world. The Acton belt, in York county and about 20 miles long, bears argentiferous galenas, zinc, arsenical iron and copper.. Several other regions are spoken of hopefully, including Vinal Haven and neighboring islands, rich in nickel, and the Wak&field belt, partly in New Hampshire, bearing gold. Professor Bartlett, who has just returned from Europe, says that in his opinion the silver mines in either England or Wales are not as rich as those in Maine. As to copper mines he did not see any copper that equals some of the original ore dug out at Blue Hill in Maine. Being asked what is the greatest drawbaok to mining in the State of Maine, Prof. Bartlett replied : "That is just what I went over to Europe to settle. Our greatest drawbaok is not being able to sell our ores, owing to the lack of smelting works. In England such silver lead ore as we take out can be smelted and made to pay a good profit, as they have carried the smelting process to a very high degree of per faction. In their smelting works they utilize everything connected with the ore, even to the sulphur." In order to make the Maine mines pay well the professor is of the opinion that ' 'the ores should be dressed at the mines, shipped in bsgs to Liverpool, and there sold to the highest bidder. Smelting won't pay in Maine owing to the high price of coal, but the low- grade copper and many of the low grade silver ores can be treated here to advantage by some of the wet methods now in use in England." The professor states his belief that a fair proportion of tha Maine mines, if managed right, can be made to pay handsomely, but, he adds, "there is a large number of them that will never amount to anything. This is the inevitable rule in all new mining distriots. It is too early yet to expect great results from any of the mines in . this State. One of the great drawbacks is the want of skilled laborers and competent managers at the mines. Ths ultimate result will be a weeding-out of all the smaller concerns, and there will come a time within ths present year when every mine will have to stand on its merits. There Is alto gether too much stock jobbing ; too many small local companies are formed with little if any capital and with no competent managers." This is probably the true situation of affairs. In a year from this time many speculative and trusting people will doubtless know more about mining in Maine than they do now. The arrival in this country of a detachment of "the Saltation Army" that has been wag ing war with the hosts of sin in Great Brit ain for a number of years is an event of some importance, and the progress of the fight to be made here will be watohed with interest The seven women and one man who form the detachment are persons of some consequence in tbe army, one of the women being a cap tain, and the others lieutenants, while the man, whose name is George Kailton, is a Commissioner. They wear a uniform of dark blue cloth, eJged with bright yellow binding, and around their hats are broad bands of scarlet ribbon, inscribed with the words "The Salvation Army" in large gilt letters. The flag of the detachment is of blue and red stuff, with a large yellow sun in the centre. The red and blue signify the blood and purity of Christ, and the Commis sioner wants it understood that the yellow has nothing to do with Orangemen. They intend to spread themselves throughout the principal cities of the Union. The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 by the Bev. William Booth, of London, who wished to reach the classes which never attended church. He therefore organized outdoor services all over England. The home organization of the Salvation Army now consists of tw.nty-two corps in uniform, under the direction of 195 ofHoers. The army holds meetings in 148 theatres, concert balls and rooms. Last year 45,000 indoor services were held and 60,000 open air exeroises. The army mads 256 converts and there are now 3,256 enrolled in its ranks. The home organ ization raised 12,000 last year by oontribu tions. The recent report of the French Minister of Agriculture and Commeroe presents some in teresting figures, which may give many of the people of this country anew idea of the re sources of their sister Bepublio. The total population of Franoe is, in round numbers, something less than 37,000,000, 12,000,000 of these living, in towns and 25,000,000 in ths country proper. Deducting from this 800, 000 who are soldiers, sailors, students, in vauas, prisoners ana the like, we have some 36,000,000 persons in active life, thus divided: 210,200 without known callings ; 71,300 vag abonds and mendicants ; 2,151,200 stock noiaers, including iuo,uou Uovernment pen sioners ; 1,531,000 practicing or living by lib eral professions ; 3,827,000 engaged in trade, transportation or navigation, or supported thereby ; 9,274,500 occupied in or sustained by various industries, and 18,968,000 prac ticing or living by agriculture. Of these, 10,- 500,000 are owners of their land, nearly 6,. 000,000 tenant farmers, and 2,500,000 agricul tural specialists. By 4,000,000 proprietors or tenant farmers of whom 400,000 are women 82,000 men and 54,000 women ars employed as clerks, 590,000 men and 378,000 women as general workers, 922,000 men and GG3.000 women as day laborers. Ths families main tained by agricultural pursuits consist of 3, 800,000 men and 7,200,000 women : those maintained by industrial occupations embrace nearly 1,600,000 men and 3,000,000 women. Employers ia trade and transportation to the number of 784,000 have in their service 247, 000 men and 71,000 women. Ia no Euro pean country do so many women work as in Franoe, and it is said that the French are, on the whole, the most industrious people on the globe. Captain Eads, to be sure, favors Ino con struction of a ship railway across the Isthmus of Darien instead of a ship canal, but his criti cism of De Lsseeps' plan may not be less val uable on that account. It is, at all events, iu' teresting. He says that so loDg as the bottom of the canal is kept above the ocean level, the average rainfall at Panama will enable an ecgi neer to estimate with some degree of certainty the probable quantity of drainage wafer that must be taken care of to enable the work to progress uninterruptedly. Bnt when the ocean itself is tapped, as it must be in cutting the canal twenty-eight feet below its surface natural method of drainage become impossi ble and the quantity of water which will prob ably enter through veins and fissures below the ocean level in the uplifted and disturbed stratification of the Cordilleras, through which the canal is to be cut, is an unknown quantity which engineering science cannot determine in advanoe. Captain Eads also thinks, with many others, that the estimate of $ 168,000,000 as the ultimate cost of ths work is much too low. Another important question to consider in connection with the expense is that involved in the maintenance of the work after its com pletion. "Anyone who contemplates," says Captain Eads, "the proposed depth of tbe out through the several miles of the Cordilleras, and thinks of the incessant rains and tempests which prevail daring six months of the year, oan form Borne faint conception perhaps of the amount of material which would be washed down the sides of this immense cut, as well as from all the other parts of the canal, and which must be continually dredged out of it to preserve its usefulness." The narrow chan nel proposed would necessitate a very slow rate of speed for large ships through the canal, in order to prevent their "sheering" and thus receiving injury. The Captain will probably have ths satisfaction of seeing De Lesseps' plans fail, even if bis own do not succeed. EDITORIAL SOTES.

Beth Green, the famous fish cultivator, formally proposes Hon. Bobert B. Boosevelt of New fork as "a candidate on the Demo cratic national ticket for President of the United States of America."

We believe that there is no single system of mecanique for writing, and that a ohild belonging to the educated classes would be taught much better and more easily, if after being once enabled to make and recognize written letters, it were let alone and prais-d or chidden not for its method, but for the re sult. Let the boy hold his pen as he likes and make his strokes as he likes and write at the pace he likes harry, of course, being discouraged but insist strenuously and per sistently that his copy shall be legible, shall be cleau and shall approach tbe good copy set before him, namely, a written letter, not a rubbishy text on a single line, written as no body bat a writing master ever did or will write till the world's end. He will make a muddle at first, but he will soon make a pas sable imitation of his copy and ultimately de velop a characteristic and strong hand, which may be bad or good, but will not be either meaningless, nndeoided or illegible. This hand will alter, of oourse, very greatly as he grows older. It may alter at 11, beoauss it is at that age that the range of the eyes is fixed and short-sight betrays itself, and it will alter at seventeen, because then the system of taking notes at lecture, which ruins most bands, will have cramped and temporarily spoiled the writinc, but the character will form itself again and wiil never be deficient in clearness or decision. The idea that it is to be clear will have stamped itself, and confi dence will not have been destroyed by worry ing little rules about attitude and angle and Slope, which the very irritation of tbe pupils oueht to convince tne teacners are, irnm some personal yeouliarity, inapplicable. The lad will write, as lie doesanytning eise mat ne careB to do, as well as he can and with a cer tain efficiency and speed. Almost every let ter he gets will give him some assistance, aud the master's remonstrance on his illegibility will be attended to, like any other caution given in the curriculum. Fuu .On High Olympus. From tbe Burlington Hawkeye. 'Aoollo." said the god of the hyperion curls, in a wearv tone, "put up that tiresome lyre ; yoa make Minervas." "You want tne lyre, men, said adouo, "to be like yourself, unstrung. Well, it shall bo done : anything to keep peace bet Venus." "Yes. indeed," said fair Cytheria, "quarrel ing always Mars our pleasure. It puts me out to hear it." 'Yes. it is very pro Vuloan," began the god of the loud sounding sea, but the rest of tbe assembly immediately howled him into si lance, and he sulkily appealed to bis father if it wasn't kind of rough to be Saturn in that wav. Bat the old man told him teat if ne tried to ring him in on any of his pans he'd eat him up. "And serve him ngnt, said tne gay young Hermes, "don't Boreas with any puns.

The applause that greeted Minerva's effort aspired great Jove rumseii, ana ne saia us had a little one of his own.

Then be went on : "Why is Venus like Horace Grertey's daughter ?" And, of oourse, they all gave it up because none of them dared to guess it, " and then, while they were all whispering the answer to each other, Jupiter said : "Because she married a omitn. Then thev all said "Ha" three times apiece, and by and by Iris asked innocently : "J. omitn, ox omiurvuiB r And then sreat Sove ordered an adjourn ment, and told Iris that if he ever caught her sliding down the rainbow again when there was oompany at the hill, he'd marry her to some Indian god with nice heads and no legs, and a name that no Greek in free America conld pronounce.
