When we are "ashamed of anything" we mean we shrink from It, because the perception of what will cause shame to us leads us to avoid it. There are many griefs, but that by which men feel that they are brought under the derision of their fellowmen Is the most acute and the most unbearable.

A man is not ashamed to steal until lie is ex-Posed before men, but the moment that he Is made to feel their scorn it arouses 'whim qualities that he bad not before. Shame arouses conscience. Many men never know what right and wrong are till shame interprets them. It this the soul with Imaginary spectres, arid draws the night through hideous dreams. Men grow desperate.

Often It dethrones the reason itself and drives Men to despair, and through aespair to suicide. Life Is full of spectacles of the terrible blight of shame.

When Judge Johnson was a student at Zanesville with Governor badly and Senator O'Neil he met Miss Ella Bloicam, his present wife.

At the same time a young preacher, D. H. L. Webster, was paying attention to Miss Ella, who was a member of the church choir. He was devotedly in love and proposed one clay while with Miss Bloxam at the home of her sister, Mrs.

Later on Miss BioxaM married Judge Johnson, who Was then a poor lawyer struggling for fame. She thus proved that her rejection of Webster was not for sordid reasons, but because she loved Johnson the more.

Lawyers, Poverty in the Tenn. How a Nan at DENNY8V1LLE, October of Dennysville is pleasantly situated on the western bank of Denny's river, eighteen miles from Eastport. When Maine formed a part of Acadia, a French officer named Denny was stationed in this vicinity, and many of the Indians became acquainted with him. The friendship be, tween the French soldier and the simple red then must have been of a very strong kind, for many of them have ever since borne his name.

On the banks of -the river which now separates Deunysville from the town of Edmunds there lived an Indian named Denny, more time 100 years ago. There was plenty of game in the forest, which wag' very demise at that time, and plenty of salmon in the river, So that Mr. "Denny" had a very comfortable home there. He floated up and down the river in his canoe, and camped wherever his fancy led him, under the great trees which grew all along on both of its banks, and he grew to be so fond of the place that lie left it only at rare Intervals. and at last the river became known as "Denny's" river, and the old Indian probably thought he owned it.

But an eel erprising white man saw the rich for-rests and the powerful watertall and that they might be used more profitably tnan ply as shade trees ano a fishing privilege for Indians, so that on March 7, 1786, the Conimonwealtil of Massachusetts. In consideration of :8910 28. gave a deed to General Benjamin Lincoln of Hingham, Limas Russell and John Lowell of Boston. of all time land which now comprises the towns of Dennysville, Pembroke and Perry. Sawmills were erected on the river and in a snort time a very pretty lithe village grew up in the place where old Denny's home had been.

Time present town was incorporated In February. 1818. and has been noted ever since tor its thritt and prosperity. Its population by the last census was 522, and its valuation $184,786. Down to the time of witat is known as time "Saxby gale," in the fall of 1869, the owners of the timber lands on Deuuy river had what was equivalent to a gold mine, for the Limber was right at the doors of the SaWitill18.

Millions of feet of lumber were sawed and shipped every year, and this furnished alinost steady employment to many men in the town. who worked in the woods in winter and "drove" the logs to the mills in the spring. Time gale, however. destroyed much valuable tilimhZr and since that time Dennysvilie has imot been so busy a town. But It is still the neatest looking and healthiest village -down east" and probably has the finest roads.

The banks of time river are very bight, and in most places very steep. This affords excellent drainage, amid consequentiy time air Is pure. The houses are nearly all surrounded by beautiful gardens. and are all far enough apart to permit a free circulation of the air. Every house is tastefulty painted.

the fences and hedges are Kept in good repair. the streets are entirely free from dust and mud and shaded by large trees, and the river carries the refuse and filth down to tide waters. For these reasons there is very little sickness in the village and time inhabitants live long lives. The oldest man now living here is T. W.

Alien, who was born in 1804. The oldest woman Is 88. There has never been but one case of small pox In the town. The man who had it caught it out of town, came hoine and died, but noon else took it, although he lived in the midst of time village. tiering sixteen years, 1865 and April 1881, there were floin seventy-five to ninety-five children of school age, that is, between the ages of 4 and 18 years; yet, during that period, there waa no death of any person between time ages of 2 and 18 years.

During the same period there were only two deaths of persons between 18 and 21. No person died and no grave was dug during the winter of 1883-84. There is only one government office in the town the post office. It was established In 1800 and has been filled ever since by only live postmasters, all members of one family, William Kilby, his two sons and their sons. No Lawyer Has Ever Located la vine.

The nearest the town ever came to having a lawyer was when "Judge" Lincoln settled there. He was not a lawyer, but having graduated at Harvard, lie received an appointment as judge of probate, but refused to serve In that capacity. There is very little litigation, but whatever there is. is taken Into the courts just as in other places. But there has never been a trial justice in the town.

Only three doctors have ever lived here. Ihe present village doctor practises in the adjoining towns and has a splendid farm. From these he seems to be able to pick up enough to eat, as be weighs 300 pounds. Rev. Charles Whittier, the only clergyman, came here more than twenty-live years ago ana has been here ever since.

ne never had any other parish. lie graduated at -Williams College In time same class, it is said. with the late President Garfield, and came to Dennysville a young, unmarried mail. Shortly after settling here he went away and brought tioine a young wife. They raised a family of seven children, all boys.

Only three other iniuisters ever lived here and only one at a tune. Only one frame dwelling-house was ever burned In time village. This happened about sixty years ago, and only three dwelling-houses have ever been burned within the limits of the town. Only one barn was ever burned in the town. and that in a novel way.

The owner of the barn had a horse which- died of glanders. Before venturing to put another horse in the barn. he poured kerosene in the crib and about the stall, and set a match to It. No building in Dennysville was ever struck by lightnIng. There was never a violent death in the village, except two from drowning, and never a suicide.

1 0 resident of the town has ever been Sent to the State orison, and only one to the county jail. There never was but one case of divorce In the town. At a young people's prayer meeting a few years ago, there were only thirteen persons, ten males and three females. Every one of these held one or more local official positions, amounting in tile aggregate to thirty-nme offices in alL Town meetings are well attended and much time is given to time consideration of questions relating to time business of the town. They are Conducted In a very orderly manner, the Citizens remaining seated except when speaking or voting, but they never wear their hats in the hall.

Voting usually occupies about half an hour. and It is a mere matter of form, for while there are 117 voters. Nine votes is the largest nuniber ever polled by the Democrats. and at one time, after the war, the number was reduced to one. This solitary hero held regular caucuses, nominated himself as delegate to the county conventmons, and on election day deposited his ballot for time regular nomiuees of his party.

The Democratic Party OfiDerittySVille is small but unwavering, and if the signs are true it will grow rapidly from this time, for there are already many Independent Republicans there who will not vote for Mr. Blaine. There are no drunkards there, although, strange as it may appear. two places exist where Intoxicating liquors are sold. one of which is the town agency.

A drunken man on the street is an unknown thing. At the late election, seventy-five persons voted "Yes" on the Prohibitory amendment, and only one voted "No." There would have been another -No" vote, but one man who Intended to vote against the amendment through aevotion to a lite-hing principle voted "Yes" through mistake, because he thought that "No" meant No ruin." Since the depression in the hunber business, consequent upon the gale of 1869 anti other causes. most of the young nien have moved away. itnd among the young people of niarriageabie age, there are three females to one male. And very pretty and well-dressed females they are, tot), well-eoucated and healthy.

In the summer they help their parents on the farms and about the house. and in the winter when the river is frozen they attend singing school and improve their immliids by reading. Many of them teach schools In adjoining towns. Only three or four families have coal stoves. Most of time houses are warmed by open stoves, and in some the old-fashioned fireplace Is still in use.

Around these open tires they gather in the fall and winter evenings to tell stories and sing songs, just as their grandfathers and grandmothers did a hundred years ago. Time only lintel in time town is kept by John D. Allen. who is said to be the best-looking hotel proprietor In Maine. The hotel is situated high up on the river batik, facing the river.

with a pathway leading down through large trees to the water. You can throw a stone from the front door of this hotel into the river, which at this point runs in a northerly direction, and probably any expert ball player could stand under the trees at Alien's door Time river Is so narrow at high water that a boy can easily swim it, amid at low water it may be waded at alihost any point.

Brooklyn Eagle Telegraph operators at police headquarters find much amusement in noticing the ignorance of sow A of the police whose duty it Is to send the messages from the station to which theyare attached. A few of the many messages, as actually received. are here given: "A haby.carriage was stolen this afternoon by an unknown man with black leather top and painted red, from the front yard of the residenee of Mr. No. Pierrepont street." "Mrs.

.1 October 13, 1884. Hon. W. E. Smith.

Chairman Executive Committee: Alir DEAR SIRillaSintich as there seems to be a technical question as to whether I can legally hold at the same time the office of shetiff of Richmond county and that of presidential elector, I have deemed it best to consult gentlemen standing high in the legal profession, as well as others of my friends upon this point. While the opinions they have expressed unanimously are that there actually exists no objection that honestly he held valid, at the same time, in view of the fact that a hostile United States and the desperate disposlition of our adversaries to grasp at any chance ot success, I have deemed it best, for the purpose of avoiding any such possibility, to tender my' resignation. While the probability Is very remote of the question being of any importance, yet in the con tincency of a close vote it might possibly become so; and I am too good a Democrat, and too earnestly desirous of the election of our ticket, to stand in the way for one moment of a consummation so devoutly to be wished as the inaugoration of a Democratic president. therefore withdraw my acceptance of tbe honor conferred upon me by the delegates for the tirst con. gressional district, and hereby tender you my resignation as such elector.

The overflow from this fountain was, as described. like a stream of petroleum two or three feet wide trickling over a bed of pitch or some such substance, which extended to a much greater width along the edge of the running 'stream at its contact with It; this material was of a very sticky nature, becombig gradually harder as it spread further out. assuming the appearance of asphalt whet it became mingled tvith the loose sand of the adjoining sob.

There le material enough for many a story hidden away among the smaller towns and hamlets of the Old Colony. Notwithstanding the proud boast that Massachusetts leads the States in the work of diffusing knowledge, and stands in the front rank of civilization, there are among ber people some who rank with the poor whites of the South in the scale of social development. 4 Just outside of Wareham.

nearly on the line between that town and Marion. may be found a little colony of phenomenally shiftless foMs who have successfully resisted civilizing influences for about half a century. Turning sharply to the south from the main road, a wagon trait leads through a scattering, second -growth wood, and for all that can be seed tile highway, It apparently leada to nowhere in particular and has no definite end in view. taking its characteristics probably from the people who made it and travel over it. but the wood proves to be only a narrow strip, serving as a screen to nod a dozeu straggling, decrepit habital ions standing in a clearing.

'Which IS not bragged about much as an attraction by the rest-dents of warehain. Some of the habitations are mere shanties, a roof and four sides being all that some of the settlers think necessary for the proper lodgment of a large and promiscuous faintly. but one or two aspire to a second story and seine general re- aemblance to eilliliZed dwelling places.

Straggling patches of garden and a few decrepit farming' tools scattered about indicate that the of Sneillown make at least A Feist at Farads. The predominant family names in Snelltown are Snell, Rogers, Bumpus and Tripp. Bumpus being universally out down to Bump. Tile original settler was old man Snell, a man of fair natural abilities, but utterly devoid of what is called education. Ile was Industrious and was employed to assist in farm work by the Wareham people, who found him strong.

willing and capable, and liked him. But following old Snell came a tribe of benighted toms who had be-. come a burden on some other town and had been Sent away as a good riddance. Tney built shanties and settled down around, Snell to get a living In the lqast laborious way, much to the discomfort of ntighboring They lived promiscuously, and the poorer ther were the more prolific they seemed to be. The two most prominent characters of Snelltown during the last fortyyears were Tom Rogers and Mary Ann Rogers.

Toru was a hard case for a long time. and by his superior strengtil of body and will acquired such mastery the tribe that be was known as the king or Snelitown. Be was addicted to drink, and when under the influence of liquor be was very. ugly and anxious to fight. In a quiet country town these characteristics gave him notoriety, and, as he was found to be not altogether lacking in better qualities.

the good people got hold of him and persuaded him that it would be beneficial for ohm to Join the church. Old Toni experienced lust enough religion to keep on good terns with the church people and accumulate a snug bit of property. When he died, about three years ago. be owned nearly the whole of Snelitown. and left his children enough to give them ail a pretty fair start.

Mary Asa Roger was even more notorious than Old Tom She war coarse and masculine In appearance, and when she worked she did a man's work with the axe or any other farm' implement, and dressed mind pally in male attire. Mary Ann's appearance was 4 terrifying to the farmers wives, but she never-, interfered with them, although it is said she. would fight anything or anybody whets aroused. Mary Ann bad a large, and a mixed one. It is not known that she had it, husband, but a troop of children of all shades, from coal black to white, called her mother.

Numerous efforts were made to civilize these and to help the older ones of the col-. ony, but without much success. Ladies who went to Snelitown on errands of benevolence were scandalized by the attire, or lack of attire, of the women and children. An old gentleman, who went down among them to estab. a Sunday school had his cane stolen the first Sunday and gobbled borne In gust.

It was useless to give the children good', clothing in the nope of making them presentable) at church. The duds woula last about a week, and not a soul in Snelitown could or weuld anything. So for many years tile efforts to reclaims the Billups and the Rogers tribe were abandonedit and strict attention given to the guarding ofq personal property from predatory Snelitowners. The Warehaulites declare that the tineillown' folk have one reassuring. If not redeeming, trait.

They are constitutionally afraid of dogs, every mother's son of them. It makes no difference what kind of a dog is kept about a house; the yelp of the most insignificant yellow cur is enough to drive a prowling Suelitowner away from pros-. pective plunder. There is nothing particularly vicious about any of these people, while seine of them are quite decent. so far as their know how to be so.

Ignorance and want of energy are the causes of their condition, and when one appears among them with energy enough to do more tbaa exist froneliand to mouth, as sometimes lie gets out of Suelitown, takes advantage of his opportuulties and becomes a useful citizen somewhere. Once In a while one of the tribe is enterprising enough to go fishing and eventually get command of a boat. But, as the Suelltowners refuse to send their children to school and let them grow up In a shiftless way, improvement Is slow among them. A few of the childreu have been inveigled Into the reading-room by -Mrs. Efigerton.

The trees have been cleared away, leaving a bare gulch Into which the sun pours for sixteen hours a aay with a fervor which seems to be designed by nature to make up for the coolness of the short July nights, when tires are needed. Stumps and half-charred logs encumber the streets arid serve as seats for the inhabitants.

Chairs can only be found in the principal gambling establishments. Every second building is a drinking saloon. Newspapers sell for two bits' (twenty-five cents) apiece. Descending the hill Into the town we encounter a procession of perhaps 300 men marching after a long board box. It was the funeral of a printer who had been shot by his employer, the editor of the local journal, for demanding his tay.

The propriety of lynch-lag the editor was discussed after the funeral, but as the judge of the district was expected next day to hold court, it was decided to let the law take its course. The town was full of men out of employment and out of money, who hung about the saloons and cursed the camp in all styles of profanity known to miners' vocabulary. Nevertheless. gold was being shipped out every day by Wells. Fargo Sz express, and new discoveries were constantly reported.

All time facts pointed to rich auriferious regions. The men who were making money kept quiet, worked early and late on their claims, and let the talking of the town be done by those who bad neither meaner to oven the claims, nor to live on while holding them." INTERRUPTED MEMORY. Some of the Odd Tricks the Beata PIAUI' Veen Those Who Overtax It. London Globe.) The brain plays odd ticks with us at times, especially when It has been subjected to a sudden shock. About a dozen years ago, a lad in the country was accused of throwing another into a pond, and he was put on his trial before a bench of magistrates.

HIS elder brother, who bore a high character in the village botti for conduct and for mental shrewdness, haa seen the previous struggle between the lads, and he was called upon to give evidence. Be declared his belief that the light was perfectly taut throughout and that the immersion in the pond was an accident. Questioned as to what toot place afterward, he could not speak to a single circumstance. "Did the prisoner attempt to rescue the deceased?" the chairman asked him. He could not say.

"The bench understands that you leaped Into the water and recovered the body." "They tell me so," he said, "but I have no recollection of It." "The constable has told us that you dived twice, brought out the body and carried it to the parents' house." "I have not the slightest remembrance. I only know that I was at home in bed at 8 o'clocksix hours the last thing I could remember was seeing poor Smith fall the edge." There could be no doubt that the witness was speaking the trutii and he could have had no object in doing otherwise. The shock which he had received on seeing the fatal result of his brother's quarrel had paralyzed his brain the memory was interrupted by those few hours, though in all other respects he had acted like a man in the fkl possession of his senses DUMAS AND SARDOU. Moth at Work on New PlaysDumas One of the Very Mick Men of Paris. tNew York Sun.) PARIS, September 1.9.Whenever Sardou announces a new piece, Alexander Dumas announces one, (too.

The two equally successful rivals cannot discontinue their rivalry, their immense riches. In a Conversation with a French journalist the other day, Dumas said: "I have yielded to the temptation to write one more drama. Yet I do not need to do It. I do not lack money. It would perhaps be more to my advantage if I Plieehl never write anything more, for I might then at least run a chance of passing for a master." The fact is that Dumas has a great dread of the press, and of late years the Paris press has not burnt so much incense under his nose as it formerly did.

On the contrary. he has many eneinies among newspaper men and among all kinds of people who have connections with the literary and artistic world. The reader may renieniber the Dumas-Jacquet Incident when the painter represented the author as "the Bagdad Jew." In the gossipy and scandal-mongering cafes on the boulevard dozens and dozens of stories are current about Dumas' avarice and about his skill and smartness in picture dealing. It is a well known fact that Dumas has speculated and still speculates in pictures, but why should lie not do so? Wily should he have so many enemies and detractors? The answer is to be found in phrase of Dumas Al in the interview already referred to: -I was brought up by 'a father who squandered the overflowing abundance of his intellect ana his heart, because lie produced without effort, as the apple tree produces apples. Enamored, above all thines, of my liberty, I comprehended that I could not possess it except by avoiaidg these shoals of conduct.

The only means of being independent was to regulate my life, and this I have done." Dumas has regulated his life so well that he has become one of the very rich men of Paris; This alone is enough to raise him up enemies. As for the piece on which Dutnas is at work, it is reported to be a dramatization of his novel, "L'Allaire Clentenceau," but the author, Who loves to surround himself with mystery, admits only that it is a comedy based on characters and situations; that it will be played next spring at the Theatre Tamils, and that the principal roles will be played by Coquelin ana Blanche Pierson. The new comedy, whatever it may be, will be the second great event of the theatrical season alter Sardou2s "Theodora," which will probably be produced at the end of January. Renewed Attractions at the Institute. An wha have not yet visited the Institute fair should beat in -mind that It Is soon to close.

Visitors of mature years as well as children are delighted with Professor Mohr's wonderful power of ventriloquism. and it is to many a mystery how the comical looking manikin, known so universally among the -little folks by his Christian name ''Jerry," can be made to assume such strikingly human facial expressions. and to talk, laugh and sing in so realistic a manner. The fact that Jerry's audiences always include as many of the attaches of the fair as can possibly be spared, and who are never tired of the rare wit and racy humor of this young scapegrace. is striking evideuce of his magnetic anti entertaining abilities.

On Saturday some 3000 children witnessed with delight the professor's three-fold entertainment of magic. ventriloquism and charcoal sketching, and the same programme will be repeated daily at 3 and 7.45 p. in. The artistic signs displayed this year at the Institute Fair are the work of Messrs. M.

P. Ward Co. of 29 Oliver street, and have received many compliments for their tine execution. Some forty excursions will visit the fair this week, and the attendance of city and suburban patrons will, undoubtedly, Burnam all precedent since the fair opened. What He Found Beneath His Floor.
