This entire Maine coast 1s grandly beautiful, every mile, and it has over 2,000 miles of coast- line tn its geographic 200. But to me, this part of M, this farthest coast where folk of their own Kind live, love and pass away, apparently uncon- scious of the great world’s activities; where there Aare no towns of consequence, and no resorts what- ever where nature 1s shamed by the displays and Fivairies of the rich, and where ft veems at times that shore and sea bient in filimitabje reaches of Silence and grandeur, possess a rugged and ‘tremendous fascination of which few own con- sclousness or even hearsay knowledge. Traveling Perforce by sea in winter, along thts farthest Matne coast, a mild and dreary shore-line will con- stantly meet the eye. For scores of miles, nota hamlet, and scarcely a lonely habitation, can be perched upon some drear, storm-beaten, sea-gir- led rock or lonlier promontory, may be seen, but these only suggest daager aud intensify dreart- mesa.

From ‘sea all seems a3 if the spirit of desolation had retired here, impatient of its own maddening power, wild and distraught, for # winters fury, and had challenged the séa to mortal combat.

HABITS OF THE HERRING.

He was speaking of the two great American Jockeys, McLaughlin and Garrison. “That accounts for tneir quick wits and shrewd tactics, But the best jockey-im this country, is Jimmie McLaughiin.” McLaughlin had just ridden one of the Dwyer orses to victory, and Mike Dwyer, the heaviest Detter on the American turf, had added $50,000 to his bank account, Dwyer 1s as a rule tacitura, and he was only led to depart from his usual rule of silence because the excitement was very great. wut he was right, Friends and enemies alike admit that McLaughlin is the champion jockey of America.
