A long-felt want is being supplied by
the establishment of a first-class laundry
in this city. Mrs. I. L. Glazier has
opened a steam laundry at the corner of
Third and Federal streets, and it will be
no longer necessary to support a lot of
Chinese dives and opium joints under
the name of waBh. houses, or to send our
clothes, and therefore our money, to
Portland; but we can instead maintain
a home industry and employment of
our own people.
We need to loster all such industries
and encourage others to invest in any
enterprises that will employ labor and
make a pay roll, however small. We
trust the "Red Star" laundry will re
ceive the liberal patronage it deserves.
Champions.
Monday afternoon the oldest members
of the Methodiet church in this city
spent a very pleasant afternoon with
their pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs.
Wood, at their home on the bluff. The
afternoon was their's to spend as best
Euited their pleasure, and at 3 o'clock
they had a short prayer meeting, after
which they spent eome time in talkinc
over their religious experiences, some of
which were as followB :
Rev. A. M. Walker, who is aged 70,
was converted at the age of 12, and has
been a member of the church sixty-five
years. Mrs. Walker, aged 77, converted
when 12 years old, has been a church
member sixty-six years. Sirs. W. Ma
gee, 85 years old, converted at 20, when
she united with the church. Mrs. J.
Gorhain, who is now GO, was converted
when 0 years of age, being a member of
the church sixty years. Mrs. Eliza Mc
Farland, 81 years old, converted when
13, has been a church member since
that time, sixty-eight years. Mrs. I. N.
Sargent, aged 79, converted 111 her 13th
year, has been a member sixty-six years.
Mrs. Angel, 05 years, converted when 15,
has been a member of the church fifty
years. The average ago of those present
is 75 years; that of Uieir conversion 13,
and the total number of years' service
given to the church 440 years.
Then followed a light lunch served by
Mrs. Wood, which was as much enjoyed
as it could have been by those who are
younger and much more vigorous, and
the conversation which followed proved
that though most of them bad measured
up to the full three score and ten years
alloted, they were still light hearted aud
enjoying life, the more so in the hope of
a glorious immortality beyond, when
the last of such earthly pleasures are o'er
and they join in the pleasures which
never end. X

Audit Free Sneds.
We have been invited, along with tho
balance of the newspapers of the United
States of America, to express our opin
ion upon the free distribution of seeds
by the government, by and with the
consent and advice of tho congressmen.
We have been furnished with a collec
tion of newspaper clippings to aid us in
arriving at a conclusion on tho seed ques
tion, and yet we are forced to conclude
that none of tho papers seem to have
reached either the root or the seed of the
evil. We are told that our proud and
grandmotherly government expends
$150,000 a year, besides paying freight
bills, in furnishing free seeds to the
great Eeedless public. That even with
this grand outlay tho results are unsatis
factory. That there is no judgment
used in disseminating these free vege
table germs, and that those who receive
them, albeit getting them free, are far
from satisfied. This is in a measure true.
The man who wants to raise watermelons
opens his prize-package and finds that it
contains Kaffir corn, string beans and
lettuce. The lady who ex peels flower
seeds of infinito varieties and all new,
finds that sho must either grow Early
York or Flat Dutch cabbage and Mam
moth pumpkins in her carefully pre
pared beds, or let her flower garden go
bare. Theso little idiosyncracieu are
only to be expected and should be borne
cheerfully. It is tho pamphlets that are
prepared by the department, giving full
instructions concerting the planting and
cultivation of the seeds that lead one to
believe sometimes that the civil service
is not so civil as it is cracked up to be,
and that either tho clerks are inclined to
be humorous or else are not upon garden
truck.

It was only a year or two ago that a
neat little package of variegated beans,
together with some slips looking like
dessicated asparagus, reached ns through
the postoflice. Recognizing the package
by the frank expression where tho pos
tage stamp should be, we turned it over
to the sharer of our wealth. She, in a
thoughtless mood, opened it. We saw
her pick up the "directions," and then
we taw tho little wrinkles gather on her
forehead and we know there was some
thing in that paper that had set her
thinking. Experience has taught us to
Ijh on our guard when sho does that, and
we were just preparing to take a short
walk for our health, when she looked up
with a puzzled expiessiou on her classic
countenance and remarked, "I don't un
derstand this quite; do you?" Wo con
fessed at once that we did not, and
clinched it with tho statement that if
she could not understand it it must be
incomprehensible. We thought that
ought to fetch her, hut it didn't. She
passed the paper over to us, with the
command to read it, and this Is what we
read :
"The enclosed Blips should be planted
In May, also the ground. They should
bo Bet in a well made bed, tho soil being
worked until perfectly loose. Tho Blips
