The proclamation of President Grant is a timely notice to the Fenians that they will not draw this government to the sup port of their plans, and entangle it in troublesome complications with England, to end in no one could tell what or how. The recent movements of the Fenians in-. dieate something more than a fright to the Canadas, and perhaps may have im portant results. Mr. Dawes effectually silenced Mr. Brooks on the Know-nothing (juestion, when the former appeared in the' House with documents to prove the connection of the latter with that secret order. He had only to send to the clerk’s desk a copy of a Knownothing speech made by Brooks at Columbus, Ohio, to bring the latter up on his knees, and make him admit that there was good authority fur charging him with Know not hingism. The discovery by the retrenchment com mittee that President Juarez of Mexico' aided the rebels by allowing them to smug gle arms ami atuunition through his terri tory in exchange for cotton, while at tin same time he was being upheld in his; position as President of the country by our government in opposition to Maxi millian, opens a chapter of black perfidy w here we had a right to expect better tilings. He ought to be classed as an other Judas. General Hancock ha1 ing seen fit to treat President Giant with inci vility because the j people elected hint President, lias no tea-1 son to take offence, nor liis friends for hint, because the Pi t iilent says in the re-! cent correspondence that the relations which Hancock shows toward him official ly and privately absolve bim from re- j gardktg that officer's personal preferences. The President could not very well, in jus tice to himself, say less. At a meeting of the Concord Railroad corporation on Tuesday, resolves wore adopted denouncing the former manage ment and the contract with the Northern Road as illegal, and a new board of direct ors was elected opposed to the contract. An injunction from the Supreme Court was served on the new hoard restraining them from taking possession of the road, and a lively contest is anticipated. hince January 1st, up to Saturday last, there have been about fifteen hundred deeds registered at the Cumberland Registry of Heeds. 7MIL R OA D COXS OL IDA TIOX. The meeting nt Portland on Tuesday even ing in relation to consolidation was well at tended. Mr. John Neal introduced a resolu tion declaring that the proposed consolida- j tion, involving a change of gauge, which the meeting had come together to consider, would be a breach of faith with the Grand Trunk llailway and its British stockholders, alarm ing and preposterous in itself, and dangerous to the business interests of Portland. Mr. John A. Poor spoke against consolida tion and in favor of the resolve. He gave some history of the railroads of the State, and showed that he desired to advance the inter ests of Portland and secure a broad gauge line to Halifax. Hon. Woodbury Davis replied. He said he was drawn into the meeting Monday even ing out of curiosity to see what counsel the citizens of Portland proposed to take with re gard to a matter with which they had no more concern than with his private affairs. He could not ascertain what the meeting was for. The subject discussed was not the one named in the call. Mr. Poor had discussed the pro cess by which our most eminent citizens had obtained possession of the Portland and Ken nebec railroad. Are we to enter into a quar rel with Messrs. Brown, Shepley and Jose, and to allow ourselves to be dragged into the gentleman’s private quarrels? He had ap-! peared for the old corporation and had reason to believe his clients were satisfied with his action, though he did not find it necessary to denounce the ten men referred to as thieves. Nice legal questions were involved, and all his clients desired was justice. They de nounced no man. No one has nnything to say against the Grand Trunk road, under its OJU Ur IlfW IIIMlin^tTIlUIW A liv cutniaev IV with the Maine Central road will expire in a year or two and it has no claim beyond. The business it derives from the Maine Central is extremely small. It can have no ground whatever for complaint. Is it not for the in terest of Portland to have the Maine Central extended into the city? Why should we not have another line of communication with the interior rather than be dependent on the Grand Trunk? Who shall say we may not doit? Is it for the interest of Portland? So much talk has been made that very few know what consolidation really means. No one knows the terms of agreement between the two roads; in fact, as yet there is no^ con tract. In a few days the meetings of the stockholders will beheld, and the whole thing will be made known, lie denied that there had been any intentional mutilation of the records as inbinuited last night. He thought the meeting was designedly called to talk about the matter before anything was known about it. He showed how the Portland and Kennebec road, burdened with a debt of two million dollars, came into the hands of the present directors, and dwelt upon the advan tage# of consolidation to the roads. The Legislature did not see fit to authorize it and the present proposition is not for consolida tion,but the lease of one road to the other, which is an entirely different affair. The leasing of roads was the commonest thing in the world. As a citizen of Portland he asks what objec tion there could be to this. If there were any objection what concern is it of the business men of Portland? Only one thing can result from this opposition. Certain men who have had quarrels with all the roads in the State Irish to enlist the public in their quarrels. It is our interest to be on good terms with the people of the State, not to revive old quarrels. Our business does not depend on guages. The business of the narrow guage Portland and Kennebec road, in spite of its connection with Boston, has more than quadrupled under its present management. He showed the great benefit to the city the road had been and how absurd it was to supposq that men with us much invested here as Messrs. JWown, Jose and Shepley would do anything to injure the business of the city. He replied to Mr. Poor's explanation of the third rail business, refer red to his suits against the European and North American road and his opposition to the Portland and Ogdensburg road, from its commencement to the present time. LETTER FROM WALDOBORO'. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: Waliiuboso’ Maine, May 1870. June is almost here, and with June comes green fields, green pastures, and greens for dinner. The season so far has been con sidered by farmers as very favorable to plant ing and the grow th of grass. Every field wears a garb of green. The farmers are very busy getting in seed of all kinds. When business is good in the country though, it makes business, so far as trade is concerned, extremely dull in the village. Uur shipyards as yet do not present a very busy aspect, con sequently “old settlers” are wont to speak very enthusiastically of the “good old times” and are apt to speak disparagingly oftheirown place and think some other place the El Dor ado. It is always so, “distance lends en chantment to the view." The people here are waking up to the im portance of having manufactures. Although a company was chartered last winter no move ment has been made as yet towards carrying out the project, and owing to this dilatoriness the towns would w illingly vote any day to buy up any claim or wat i privilege and give the same to parties, inside or outside the town or State that would erectacottonfactory. Grim visaged Death—Death whom none can escape, none conquer, our last foe—has been making fearful strides amongst us lately. It is not a common occurence, except w hen there is an epidemic raging, for a village of but 2000 souls to have three funerals in one day, but such was the cuse here a short time since. A lew weeks ago an energetic business man, following his vocation in an adjacent State, was smitten down without a moment s warning with paralysis. lie lingered a few days and died. His remains were brought home to a bereaved family and in terred in his native town amongst friends and kindred. A young lady, much beloved by this community, and one who possessed a philanthropic heart even in these days of greed and gain, was suddenly stricken down w ith heart disease, much to the surprise ot all. And now to cap the climax, we have just placed beneath the sod a young man who possessed every element to insure him suc cess in the bright, future and who promised to be one of Boston’s smartest business men. He came to a sudden and sad end by taking an overdose of morphine. There have been a number of other deaths which I shall not enumerate, but these I have mentioned be cause so sudden and unexpected. In a former letter to the Journal, in speak ing of the old German Meeting House here, I omited to mention a particular feature in re gard to the pews. The pews are of the box pattern, very high, and are about four feet square, that is, they are just as broad as they are long. A person of medium height sitting in one would have merely the head visible, while a child under twelve years of age would be entirely out of sight. And. as there are seats on three sides of the pew. the pew be ing full, three persons would face the minis ter, two wuuld sit side to him, and three would sit back to. The Lincoln Agricultural and Horticultural Society hold their fair this year the 4th, 3th and 6th of October, at Jefferson. A new trotting park is to be made, and the prepara tions already going on speak of an extensive show of the products of this peninsular county. Iimox. GENERAL NEWS. One hundred females are now studying law in the United States. A London stenographer has used one pen constantly for twenty-one years.

Private letters from Southern Kansas and the Indian Territory say the smallpox prevails to a grent extent. 1\ T. Barn uni lias been lecturing the Mor mons at Salt Lake City on the “Art of money getting." Ice thirty-three inches thick, and so clear: that a newspaper can be read through it, is a product of Minnesota. An editor in Michigan offers a PresliTtcrian church and graveyard as a premium to the getter-up of the largest club of subscribers for his paper. Secretary Boutwell has ordered the revenue cutter Lincoln to the Alaska Islands to look after certain vessels which have gone there to obtain the skins of fur seals. There are 518 inmates in the Indiana State Insane Asylum at Jacksonville—a larger number than was ever confined there before. The ntral Pacific K ilroad Company has finally purchased the California Pacific Hail road, and will take possession in June next. The average annual production of beer in I England is 25,000,000 barrels, of which four filths are cousumed at home. A St. Louis man hung himself because his third wife wanted him to buy her son a new coat. The white man’s party has broken out in Alabama. It is of a mild type, and will not create much excitement in political circles. The estimate of the gold crop of the conn- j try for the year 1889 is $83,500,000, of which j California produced nearly one-third. The proposition to impeach Judges Field j and Hoffman creates much indignation in San Francisco, w here the charges against them are not credited. A democratic editor in the interior boasted that the result of the New York state election was a “great moral triumph.” Miss Dorothea L. Dix, whose labors in be half of the insane have been equal to John j Howard's for imprisoned convicts, is seriously ill. Cuban robbers approach a cottage on the run, cry, “The troops are coming!" and when the family have fled pillage at their leisure. Excursion parties will be far more numer ous this year than ever before. The Pacific coast will be largely visited and many of the western roads arc organizing excursion trips. Railway carriages in Sweden are warmed by means of hot sand placed incases along tin side of the car and heated and renewed at each terminus. About ninehundred thousand dollar’s worth I of eastern railroad tickets and half a ton of mail matter were among the items destroyed at the late fire in I.a Crosse, Wisconsin. A boy named Gardner Brown, son of Am brose Brown, of Dover, N. H., was killed on Friday, while playing base-ball, by the ball striking his head. A little boy hid, the other evening, in the mash-tub of a Cincinnati distillery, and was boiled to death when the scalding fluid was let in. During a thunder-storm recently at St. John, N. B., the lightning struck the wires of the fire-alarm telegraph, which are connected with some of the bells of the city churches, ringing them in two or three instances. Shrewd Chinamen have been smuggling opium, spit es and tea into San Francisco by throwing overboard waterproof packages w ith chain and buoy attached, just before landing from incoming steamers. Confederates ashore pick them up at night. Hereafter, according to the laws of Miss ip pi, any person sending or accepting a chal lenge, or second carrying one, or any petson going out ol the State to fight a duel, w ill be forever disfranchised. Governor Bullock publishes a letter review ing the investigation into the alleged bribery of senators upon the Georgia case, in which he congratulates himself that nothing was proved, anil asserts that the whole affair may bc traced to the personal influence of Joshua Hill. There are rumors of a combination between those who advocate the importation and reg istry of foreign built vessels, and those who urge the payment of drawbacks on materials used in the building of vessels in this country. This arrangement, if successful, will be more profitable to the shipbuilders of Scotland than of New England. Miss Mitford, writing of a certain author ess, says: “She is ugly, of course; all litera ry ladies are so. 1 never met one. in my life (except Miss Jane Porter, and she is rather paisce) that might not have served fora scare crow to keep the birds from the cherries. It’s a prodigiously strange and disagreeable pecu liarity." General Eaton, Commissioner of Education. is preparing a report to show the advantages of education ns a preventive of crime, and for this purpose desires to receive reports from the principals of reformatory and other schools, which may he sent to him free of expense by mail. Many applications have been address ed to the Commissioner on the subject, which, with the aid he now seeks, he hopes soon to supply. A country deacon went home, one evening, and complained to his wife that he had been abused down at the store shamefully. One of the neighbors, he said, called him a liar. Her eyes flashed with indignation. “Why didn’t you tell him to prove it?" she exclaim ed. “That’s the very thing—that's the trouble!” replied the husband; “that's just what I did do; I told him to prove it—and he did prove it!” Miss Annie D. Green bids farewell to May in the following beautiful lines published in Harper's Monthly: Among the falling apple flowers The mated robins sing; a The hyacinths arc fading fast— It is tlic last of Spring; Its sweet, last day Oh, why, Fair Maiden May," we sigh, •Wilt thou not linger?” llusli! for dune Delays until she goes; And we must see the violets fade Belore we pluck a rose. ‘Tis only losing we can win And giving we can take; Our pleasures, tarrying too long, Our sorest trials make.

The editor of the l’rcsque Isle Sunrise re cently saw passing that office a large load of shingles, walking by the side of which was a woman, holding in one hand the reins and in the other a whip, seemingly^ts proud of her station as though she was holding a silk or satin garment from the dust.

Sawtelle, Esq agent of'Chase Bros., refers to the subject of mortality in the county of Aroostook, as follows “Not one of the six hundred subscribers for fruit trees in Aroostook county, last autumn, has deceased. A very remarkable cireumstanee. And I will add, not more than five in a hundred have changed their place of residence, all of which speaks well for Aroostook county.” Mr. John Butler, a Halloweli boy, and who has many friends in this city, has estab lished himself in business in Germantown, Philadelphia, as a partner in the firm of San born Butler, Druggists and Apothecaries.

Th. ducks of Mr. Peter Breen “troubled the waters" which Mr. Peter Doyle had provided for watering his cows, and riled the temper of Mr. Doyle as well. The ducks were driven into the yard of their owner, with an earnest request on the part of Mr. Doyle that they be confined and kept away from his premises. Somebody's temper was “riled," and Mr. Doyle went home with red ears. The case was settled in the police court by the payment *of a nominal fine. The Panorama of the streets of Boston will open this Thursday evening at Granite Hall, for a brief season. The exciting scenes put upon canvas are illustrated and explained by a Detective who has been in the police service for many years. It has decided merits as a work of art and has been well tested and re ceived with approbation wherever exhibited. Besides the panorama with the luc id descrip tive lecture, the exhibition each night closes with the performance of the celebrated Italian Fantoccinni, life-like mechanical figures, that move and appear like human beings. “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march ing.'’ The police are still after the violators of law.

Augusta, May25th, 1870. Dear Journal After reading the communication of the Bev. J. F. Bingham in Tuesday’s paper and the replies made by the Bev. Samuel Upjohn and “A Citizen,” X feel compelled in behalf of the widows and orphans to add a few words to what has already been said in regard to the “memorial services" which are to take place on the next Sabbath. Among the graves of the soldiers on yonder hillside, are two which I hold most dear, be ing those of my husband and brother, who fell defending the “old flag.” I have always been in the habit of visiting these graves on the Sabbath, that seeming to me the most fitting and appropriate day for solemn and earnest thought, and contempla tion. That a servant of God, ordained to preach his word, should for a moment con sider the decoration of graves a service un suitable for a Christian people to engage in on the Sabbath, is a singular idea. Can Mr. Bingham have had any sympathy with the, war? Or can he note have any sympathy for the thousands of widows and orphans which the war has made It would seem not. Has he ever attended a “memorial service,” and was it a place! where loafers congregated? In this city it has always been a most solemn occasion, as much so to those who had not’ suffered by the ravages of warns to those who had lost their all. We do not contemplate making it a day of festivity, but simply paying our tribute of love to those who in the hour of their country’s peril rushed onward to the conflict: and if there be any w hose lack of patriotism would prevent their attending such services, they should not dictate to the loyal and patriotic citizens of this city. I remain, Very Respectfully, A War Widow. The Reason Why.—The immediate cause ot premature fading or blanching of the hair is an ob struction of the oil vessels which afford the coloring matter. The remote cau-e- mar be general ill health, trouble of mind, etc. Hence, in order to re store it- natural color and beauty, tin- oil vessel must be restored to their normal condition. It is on this principle that NATURE'- HAIR IT'TOHA TIVE is compounded, and it has proved a complete success, wherever faithfully applied. It is not a poisonous dye, consequently the effect i gradual, and in severe cases two or three bottle- are neces sary to produce the desired result. Set* advertise ment. i-HarricU.
