Porcine IVculiariiit a.
It would 'ie a good disciplinary exercise fot
certain politicians that might be named, tc
devote themselves to a cursory examination
of the works of Robert Burns, i>oet and agri
culturist. They would find therein interpo
lated between love-songs a tritle passionate
and liberal for this church-going generation,
and tales ol banshee and goblin, a few lines
devoted to the case of a fine lady over whose
lasliionable a'lire an unregen ‘rate and aban
doned louse was travelling at bis own sweet
will, in church time. The dame, ou account
of her unconsciousness of the ruthless iuvader,
continued tb put ou airs which would have
been speedily laid aside bad she )assessed the
power to “see herself as others saw her.™
The fact is tbe politicians to whom we re
fer glory in their shame, being unable to dis
tinguish between proceedings that might
righliully be regarded as commendable ami
those which, in the opinion of the judicious,
are calculated to consign them to lasting dis
honor. They boast that the Executive, assist
ed by a coterie of politicians, the peers of tbe
famous “Cabal” of tbe reign of tbe Stuarts, in
point ot duplicity and dishonesty, has six
times tli warled the designs ot the |>eople clear
ly expressed through their representatives.
Six times, they say, you have framed a law
that you regarded as sure to establish justice
in the South, and six times has the residen
tial coach and six been driven through it,
with Stanbery ou the box, and Biuckley and
Judge Black up behind, and even now you
are tiukering your unstable work lor the
seventh time.
Let it be admitted that Congress is amend
ing its work for the seventh time. There
was only one ulternat ive (or this— impeach
ment. The Democrats wete ol course op
posed to that plan, and tbe majority cf
the Republican party, too, thought it moie
expedient fox Congress to be at band, con
stantly warding off the President in his un
patriotic devices, lather than to remove him
out of the way. The political problem grow
ing out of this state of things is strictly anal
ogous tb that which arises iu bucolic affairs
when a farmer undertakes to drive an obsti
nate pig—a situation that is proverbially en
vironed with greater perplexities "than any
nu«.u auaca in lUlllClIUlU^ Willi puy
sical difficulties. The ordinary sagacity cf
the race is of no avail here. The orbit ol a
comet can be calculated; tbe moods and va
garies of childhood stay, iu some degree, be
antluxrated and provided for; winds, waves,
temperatures, and all tilings unsettled and
changing, are partially within the scope ol
human foresight. Future contingencies in
all cases but one may be the subject of in
telligent speculation. Uut who can tell
which way a swine-will turn when circum
stances allow him the exercise of any discre
tion. This association of Mr. Johnson's
name and character with so unlovely a mem
ber ol the animal kingdom should not be re
garded as disrespectful, tor tbe strongly
marked .individuality of the porker and his
grotesque, eccentricities, make him, to the
naturalist, an object of resxrectful admiration.
And this is how it haxrpeus that Congress
is continually “ tinkering” its rccohstuction
laws. It eudeavors to give the President
only a straight path to travel in, but ever
and anon his porcine excellency discovers
some by path, some concealed and narrow
alley-way, or some abandoned and overgrown
thoroughfare, up or down wbieb, with many
a premonitory squeal and grunt, he endeav
ors to turn. The only way to avoid the ne
eesSity of constantly meeting him at these
places, and turning him back, is by impeach
ing ami politically sticking him. It having
been decided that this shall not be done, it
only remains to keep closely on his track,
: till the 4th of March 1889 adds another to
the number of old public functionaries of
Concord, Lancaster and Buffalo.
Ket re u chine at.
A spedou3 proposition has been made In
th^Legislature to give the State printing to
the lowest bidder. The objections to Ujis
plan are that the lowest bidder may not be
pecuniarily responsible, or if responsible may
not be qualified to manage tbe business, or if
qualified may not be honest, and in general
;bat the first object is to get the work dons
and well done, and the second to get it done as
cheaply as possible, and that the committee
on printing should be allowed sufficient dis
cretion to secure and hannon^gc both these
purposes. In reply to Mr. Bradbury (Dem.)
of Hollis, who-delended. the proposition as a
measure of retrenchment and economy,
Mr. Foster (Rep.) of Portland, chairman ot
the committee on printing, proceeded to il
lustrate the character of Democratic economy
as follows:
The gentleman claims that he makes this
pimposition lot the sake of retrenchment and
relorm. It is only when his party are in a
minority that they are anxious for this.
W hen they were in power contracts were far
less stringent on the printers than now. You
will find that many changes have been made
since the I epnbiicau party came into power.
Scarcely a year lias gone by that Lite .contract
lias not been more favorable to the State
than the preceding. It was hardly expected
that we eonkl come to our present prices from
those left us by our political opponent* at one
jump. I hold iu my hand the annual regis
ter. This is a matter which under Demo
cratic administration was printed lor both
branches, with the same ty;>e, with the single
change hi the title. The Slate was iu the
habit of paying lor composition once for the
House and once for tire Senate when one
composition was used lor both. The same
wa3 true in regard to ail ordeis ordered print
ed by both branches. When the same hill
was ordered printed by both brandies, ibe
Senate paid lor composition and the House
paid for composition, while the House docu
nicn was struck from the same type that
IVI eu«. ucuavc UUI.UM1CIU.
Changes have been made since the Repub
licans cauie into power. This hits been one
pf >lie changes, They liave cut off this un
necessary expense. '£he large amount for
merly paid for printing lias'been very materi
ally reduced. There was a sort ol' legacy of
large prices, which came down to tHe Repub
licans from their predecessors. Greatly liave
they been reduced year alter year. It was
under that rule that double prices were paid.
Now the work is done quite as cheaply as it
can be afforded. The last contract was at a
les.3 rate than that usually charged by -print
ers throughout the State—at a less sum than
the prices set iipby the Printers’and Publish
ers’ Union in the State.
My judgment is that if the matter is lelt in
the hands of the Committee, they will be able
to make such a report to this body as will be
saiislactory to it. If not so satisfactory, it
will be in the hands of the House.
''■c||m ul Immii.”
Horace Greeley, in his last installment ol
“Recollections of a Busy Life,” shows how
widely at variance a man’s theory may he
with his practice. It Is notorious that
Gteeley has always kept himself poor by
the constant drain upon his purse by begga s
and borrowers whom he has always encour
aged. But he does not defend his conduct in
this respect, believing unlike CharlesLamh.tbal
it may be proper ‘ to rake into the bowels ol
unwelcome truth to save a half-penny.” Ut
says:
1 hate to say anything that seems caieu
laled to steel others against the prayers o:
the unfortunate and necessitous; yet an ex
tensive protracted experience has led me te
the conclusion that nine-tenths of those who
will solicit loans of strange]s or casual ac
quainlances arc thriftless vagabonds who
will Dever he better . off tliau at present, 01
scoundrels who would not pay if they were
able, lu scores, if not hundreds, of cases, 1
liave been importuned to lend liotn $ 1 up to
$10, to help a stranger who had -come io the
city on some errand or other, liad here fallen
among thieves, (who are lar more abundant
here than they ever were on the road from
Jerusalem to Jericho.) been made drunk, and
plundered of his last cent, and who asked
only euough to take him home, when the
money would he promptly and surely return
ed. Sometimes I have lent the sum requir
ed; in other cases, I have refused it; but I
cannot remember a single instance in which
the promise to pay was made good. I recol
lect a case wherein a capable, intelligent
New Engiand mechanic, on Ills way trotn an
Eastern city to work two hundred miles up
the Erie Railroad, borrowed of meTlie means
of saving bis children from famine on the
way, promising to pay it out of his first
mouth's wages; wliich he took care never to
do. This ease differs from many others oulv
in that the swindler was clearly ol a better
class than that irom Which the great army of
borrowers is so steadily and bounteously re
cruited.
I consider it all but an axiom, that lie who
asks a stranger to lend him money will never
pay it; vet 1 have* known an exception.
Once, when I was exceedingly poor
and needy, in a season of commercial revul
sion or “pauic,” 1 opened a letter Irom Utica
and found therein $.< which the writer asked
me to receive in satisfaction of a loan of that
sum which I had made him—a needy
stranger—on an occasion which lie recalled
to my remembrance. Perplexed by so un
usual a message, and especially by receiving
it at such a time, wlieu every one was seek
iug to borrow—n« one condescending to pay,
—1 scanned the letter more closely, and at
length achieved a solution of the problem.
The writer was a patient in the State luuatie
asylum.
A gushing youth once wrote to me to this
etiect :
‘IJKAR Slit: Among your literary treasures,
you have doubtless preserved several auto
graphs of our country’s late lamented poet,
Edgar A. Poe. If so, and you can spare out-,
please enclose it to me, ami receive the thanks
of yours truly."
I promptly responded, as follows;
I)KAit Sir: Among my literary treasures)
there happens to be exactly one autograph of
our country's late lamented poet, Edgar A.
Poe. It is his note of hand for $50, with my
endorsement across the back. It cost me ex
actly $30.75, (including protest), aud you may
have it for half that amount. Yours, respect
fully.
That autograph, I regret to say, remains on
my hands, and is still lor sale at the original
price, despi te the lapse of lime and the de
preciation of our currency.
T.iiue and Patrol I.imr Kilag.
Rockland, Jan. 15,1808.
To the Editor 0/ the Prest:
1 have hesitated fifteen minutes, my deal'
sir, whether it were Dot presumptuous to otter
a lew lines on the above-named topic, for the
reason that most of the aforesaid kilus are
Just here in Maine, not In lar-distant Catu
liania or Sitka, and that there is really much
less of intrinsically and practically valuable
knowledge to he acquired In the consideration
of out domestic industrial processes than from
reports about open polar seas. On the other
hand, it b evident, from the columns of your
excellent daily, from the number of those
wflio arc willing to fritter away precious time
in writing you of what different parts of our
State are doing and how they do it and from
your apparent willingness to publish mailers
which iulerest only us, it is also evident that
many of our people will spend hours in con
templating things within their reach: things
unmagnitied by misty distance. I must con
fess, Mr. Editor, to a domestic and national
pride,—to leeling, for instance, that I wouldn’t
he auything hut an American and a native
Americau, especially in case 1 should visit
England. I am proud, too, of any trade which
we Ciiu monopolize, and of the place, countrv
toivii or eity, where it is monopolized; and I
like to write you of such a trade.
The right we have to monopolize lime traf
fic comes of our might to do so; and the proof
oT out might is to he seen in .Southern and
Northern storehouses, or a mile from our own
coast in that exhaustless i ib of blue rock which
is forever being taken from Adam (the earth)
d o ing ” the deep sleep” which tails upon ev
erything else but limestone quarrying, lime
stone carrying, lime burning and lime mar
keting.
The rock, dug out of the quarries which
sink deeper year by year—so deep that
in some places engines to pump are as
necessary as axes to cleave—is constantly
brought in on teams throughout the twelve
month, rock as blue a3 the lips of the patient
teamster. It comes in lumps as large as
Morrissey's fist or as large as Andy’s head
and quite as hard. The hands that handle it
are shod in leather, not in leather gloves but
•in “ palms,” which term signifies all ol the
glove but the back; and the palms are sus
pended by a cord to the wrist, so as easily to
be cast off or put on. This limerock, says
Chemistry, contains carbonic acid which
must be expelled by the heat of ardent
flames, when oxygen attacks the rock with
the zeal of a proselyter and converts it into
the protoxide of calcium. It is of course a
very simple matter to heat a rock; hut very
Yankee geuius was required to devise the
best and quickest method of heating Jarge
quantities. Our old-fashioned forefalheis
didn't realize so fully as we do the difference
between the expectation of life in Methuse
lah’s time a id in ours, for we have more in
surance companies. lienee they werepatieut
to reach a given result in days—we count the
seconds. A mau who lias doue nothing hut
bum lime knows this. Fourteen years ago
the best place to buili^a lime kiln was on a
steep slope, tor the pit could he dug down be
low the surface of the ground and a wall
erected at one end, affording couveuieut com
munication between the woodpile and the
furnace. The wood was put in at the mouth
of the furnace, lock .piled In Irom- above and
when time enough had beeu allowed for thor
ough burning, the fires were let go out, the
lime became coo^ and was removed. No*-,
this was very, well for men fourteen years ago,
because th?y couldn't do better. But it has
been fouud that the fires may keep on pretty
busily at work while the lime is removed.
The patent kilns are, I should judge,eigh
teen feet square and twenty lieet high. They
are built of any durable stone, with walls
three or four feet thick and are covered on
the top with wooden roofs. Dark blue smoke
arises night and day and colors the roof and
corrects the atmosphere. At least, it is be
lieved that the mortality of the city is much
less thau it would be if we had fewer Iiiue
kilus and poorer physicians. The lime must
still be thrown into the kilns and tires kindled
beneath. But the fire once kindled need not
he allowed to go out, until the owner fails or
his wood gives out.
Tbeowuer of some ol our kilns ha; in
formed me that he kindled his fires February
second, 1SH17, rod that they have kept burn
ing ever since. I don’t think this is a- very
rare case. Tbe sheds which reach away from
the kiln cover a third ora half of an acre of
ground, tinlcss there are two or more kilns
connected in which case the sheds are larger.
At the end of the shed nearest the kiln,
wood is corded; at the farther end, casks of
lime. On each side of the kiln is a door open
ing into a large lurnace, where corthvood is
converted into heat, and you may look in, if
you keep far enough aloof to save your eye
lashes from beir.g singed. (>ne can be easily
persuaded, when he finds himself very near
the furnace dcor, that “the flame of (lie fire
slew these men who took up’’ the three
worthies at Nebuchadnezzar’s command.
These aiches are made of fire bricks, for
nothing else will stand the intense heat.
From the furnace escape is made thrbugh
dues in different directions, so that the two
tires will penetrate with their influence every
part of the whole mass ol rock. A little low
er than the furnaces and on the front side of
the kiln is what is called the “hopper’’, which
our lexicographers, had they seen the lime
kiln, would not have defiued*‘<i place for fuel.”
This hopper is the reservoir ol the burned
lime. So long as tbe hopper is full ol lime,
the tire acts upon the stratum aliove. When
six hours from the last “drawing” have beeu
tolled, tbe door of the hopper is thrown open
(not by a “clock-lock”) and the drawing com
mences. that is, a man will) a ioug-bandled
shovel draws ont the burned lime lump by
lump and throws it upon a slone floor around
him anil at some distance. He throws it
some distance, lor tbe natural reason that it
would be decidedly unpleasant, to be near
such red-hot masses, ior the lumps look
more like burning summer than blue. Novem
ber. The stratum above the one which is,
being removed keeps its place submissively
being expanded sojby heat as to be unable to
force its way dowuwaril, like an eager
crowd at the door of a lecture room. Win* 11
the lime lias been removed and more rock
added above, this stiatum tumbles to tbe bot
tom, no doubt, f>r it is there punctually at
the end of aix hours.
What w;is blue rock, is now red hot lime
and will.soon be cokl for barreling. There is
skill displayed in barreling. Tbe employee
catches up a shovel-full, gives It a toss lu mid
air and, like hungry Oliver, ladles again. The
largest pieces of rock are broken enough by
the time they reach the cask. The cask la
headed, and branded with the uauie of the
burner and thou stored till the vessel comes
lor her cargo. I.imestone when brought fast
er than burnt U “corded ' up around the
kilns.
The only disadvantage in the use of these
kilus is the high cost of their linings and the
need of hauling the rock up ascending plat
forms to tire lop of the kllus;-theiradvantage«
are the immense savings in time and materi
als. When they were introduced here from
New k urk, the old burners of lime grumbled
and predicted their failure; but they are emi
nently successful and profitable. I should
add that the New Yc rk kilns have been so
improved upon here, that our burners claim
the honor of new invention.

Changed his Mind.—A Congressman re
lates the following conversation as having
takeu place between himself aud Gen. Han
cock, just before tire latter’s departure for
New Orleans:
•Speaking to him, as I knew him well for I
fought by his side iu the field, I said to him,
“Well, General, youaiegoiugtoNew Orleans,
are you?” “ Yes,” said he, “ and some people
have got an idea that because I am sent down
there to relieve Sheridan, I am a copperhead ;
but they will tiud themselves greatly mistak
en. I fought the rebels too long in the field
to be their tool now.”—or words to that ef
lect. I had a right, therefore, to be surprised
when X read the first order which he issued,
and still more when I read the second.

them tire joyful message of tho gospel, Cer

ly. One ot them atiast wished to have given
him a picture, ami when he received a ‘Nativ

properly to these pictures, shall I catch a great
many animal* when hunting?’ When I had
tried in a great many ways to make it quite
plain to him that he was not to pray to these
pictures at all, and particularly that he must
pray to Jesus to have pity on his soul, he In
quired again,‘If I then pray to Jesus, shall I
catch a great many animals?”’
—Bicrstadt, the American artist, has been
