Washington, Feb. 6. 1 ne chair laid before the Senate the ere demial-i of the re-election of Senator Ingalls ot Kansas. A resolution was offered by Mr. Sewall, calling on the secretary e and growth from small proportions to great. It had made progress, he said, that had bene fitted all and injured none. He conclude 1 by expressing the conviction that not only was it right, desirable and expedient that women should vote, hut that the dangerous political conditions which were perhaps about to confront us, rendered it our duty tor the safety of the nation, no longer to deny to our political life the strength to he derived lrom j the conscience and moral worth of wom.*n. A resolution offered by Mr Sherman w*a» agreed to, providing that on and alter Mon day next, the hour of the daily meeting of the Senate will be 11 o’clock. The hill to regulate the fees of pension agents and attorneys was then taken up, and after an explanation by Mr. Jackson, was passed without division The consular and diplomatic hill was then taken up and passed. I’he chair then laid before the Senate the anti-silvt r coinage bill, hut without turther action the Senate went into executive session and when the doors were reopened, adjourned. HOUSE. The House of Representatives met at 10 o'clock this morning m continuation of yes terday's session. There whs not more than half a dozen members present, and a further recess of 10 minutes was taken. After recess, the House went into commit tee of the whole f Mr. Hammond of Georgia in the chair) on the river and harbor loll. The pending amendment was the one provid ing that no part of the appropriation of $100, 000 for improving a national harbor of the first class at Sandy Bay. Mass., shall be ex pended until a new hoard of three engineers shall decide that that point is the best loca tion on the coast for such a harbor; agretd to—82 to 30. Mr. Oates of Alabama moved to strike out the entire paragraph relating to Sandy Bay harbor; agreed to—74 to 42. Mr. Spooner of Rhode Island offered an amendment increasing from 812,500 to $20, ooo the appropriation for the improvement of Newport barb ir: b>s'. Mr Spooner of Rhode Island offered an amendment appropriating $15,000 for tin harbor at Block Island; lost. Mr. McComas of Maryland, offered an amendment providing that no monev appro priated by this act shall he expended except for such works as the secretary of w ar, under direction of the President, shall deter mine, and in no ease shall the expenditure tor any one purpose exceed the sum desig nated by this act for that purpose. Mr. McComas sai 1 he wished the responsi bility tor the expenditure to rest elsewhere. The engineer corps disclaimed any responsi bility-. and the committee on rivers and har bors was not united on the policy of the main items of the bill. Mr Thomas of Illinois opposed the amend ment. on the ground that it attempted to set up the judgment of the executive against that of the legislative, and make him a verbal dic tator, saying when and where improvements shall be made. Tending the action. Mr. Willis moved that the committee rise and on a viva voce vo’te, the chairman decided that the ayes hail it and disregarded the demands for tellers. Speaker pro tern. Blackburn having taken the chair. Mr. Willis moved that the House adjourn, and the speaker, also disregarding the calls for a division, declared the motion carried. The House was instantly called to order and the legislative day of Friday began. Alter the reading of the journal, the House proceeded to the consideration of business under the new rule. Mr. Thomas of Illinois, from the commit tee on naval affairs, repotted adversely a joint resolution tendering the thanks of Con gress to Commanders Schley and Coffin and Lieut Emery; laid on the table Mr. Randall of Tennsylvania said the House would not be free from public criti cism if the appropriaiion hills were not all sent to the Senate by the 25th of the month To accomplish this the committee on appro priations was of the opinion that it should have the right of way after Saturday night, and a serious effort be made to pass next week the postotHce, legislative and sundry civil service bills. The private business having been dispensed with, the House at 1.45 went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill, and the pending amendment, offered this morning by Mr. McOomas of Maryland, was rejected. An amendment was adopted appropriating 810,000 for the improvement of Oak Orchard harbor. Mr. Cox of New York offered an amend ment. directing the U. S. harbor board herein provided fur to report a plan and estimates for obtaining a permanent thaunel sufficient for the wanta of commerce over Saody Ilook Bar. the entrance into New York harbor; adopted. Mr. King of Louisiana, offered an amend ment appropriating -8150.000 for the improve ment of Sandy Hook channel. Mr. Hiscock ul New York said he had seen in the public pres* the statement that he w as going to make an assault upon the jetty sys tem at New Orleans, and denied that he had ever »uch an intention. Mr King—The allusion of the gentleman directed against me Mr. Hiscock—I beg the gentleman's par don 1 say unqualifiedly it was not directed against the gentleman. Mr. King—And I say unqualifiedly it was. I understood the gentleman from New York himself to state in private conversation that it was his purpose to say on this tioor that the jetties had been of no commercial value to New Orleans. Mr. Hiscock said I desire to c ontradict the statement that I have ever advertised that I had that purpose. Just so tar as 1 can go within the rules of the House I desire to go, and do go in saying that 1 never said that 1 was going to do any such thing. Mr King—And I state, so tar as l may go within the rules of the House, that that statement is false. Mr. King’s amendment was rejected. Mr. Young, of Tennessee, offered an amendment appropriating 875,000 for the improvement of Memphis harbor and he made some remarks reflecting upon Mr. W iili*. which brought that gentleman up.and another tilt ensued similar to the one just preceeding it. The cunfu>ion became s great that the the r-peaker was compelled to request the sergeant- it arms to see that all of the mem bers were in their seats which ended the quarrel an I Mr. Young withdrew his amend ment. The committee then rose and the House I took a r- cess until 8 o’clock. The iloust, at its evening session, passed -b pension hills, including one granting a pension of 810 each to minor children of the late Lt. Kinslingbury and one increasing to 8J0 the pension of the widow ot the late (’omrnodore Killebrown. FOREIGN EW* THE EGYPTIAN WAR.

The London morning papers contain no farther ii formation relative to the fall of Khartoum. Nothing seems to he known at Cairo except the news telegraphed there from London, I’he papers can find room fur nothing except the tail of Khartoum. There are columns upon columns of the history of the siege and of the efforts to relieve the place bv means ot Gen. WoNley’s futile ex pedition up the river. and there are whole pages devoted to letters and dispatahes show ing the country in regard to Gordon’s fate. 1’he Times, in a leading editorial this morning, says that the shock the news of the fall ot Khartoum causts has no parallel in the experience of the present generation. The Daily News says that seldom in the memory of living men ha> the news been re i eeivtd of >uch a disaster to England. The cry of Too Iat« against the g ivernment is unjustified. Th»* News thinks that Colonel Wilson’s steamers might have arrived at Khartoum earlier than they did. It feels convinced that a national calamity will not be utilized in the furtherance of party feeling. The Daily Ttlegraph says that the situa tion is one of grave and complicated diffi culty. It is right that all should wait for the I decision of the ministry upon whose shout ders the responsibility rests, and who must possess the most complete military informa tion. Nothing can be gained by .wild re proaches for bygone delays. If the govern ment cannot rescue Gen. Gordon, l.-t it dally no longer, hut retire The Maiidi must be brushed. The government has a great mis fortune to repair, but it has no disgrace to lament. All now needed is that our states men rise to the heroic level of our soldiers. A despatch from Suakim states that friend ly tribes have managed to revictual Kassala and have parsed 2o0 camels loaded with grain into the tow n. A successful sortie was leeentlv made from Ghair on Steltit river Another attack was lately made by a friendly tribe upon hostile tribes of Gallabad countr>. The latter were defeated with a heavy loss All these occurrences are from one to five weeks old, but they are just now given out bv the war office. General oiseiey telegraphed from Korti to t it? war office tins afternoon that a courier had arrived from the British camp near Metemneh who reports that the rebels at Met fimicli have become defiant since hearing of the fail of Khartoum. The courier also says an attack on Gubat may he looked for at any tnomont as the rebels expect reinforce ments from Khartoum. Lord Wolseley states that he will remain quiet pending fur ther orders from the government. The cabinet met at 11 o'clock this morning to consitler what course should be taken in regard to the present Egyptian emergency. It was decided to send telegraphic orders to India for a dispatch of Indian troops to Sua kim and meanwhile to reinforce the garrison at Suakim by drafts of troops from England and the Mediterranean. The opinion of the ministery is in tavor of a strong, active and vigorous policy. The ministry will sanction any demand of Lord Wolseley which will aid in the defeat of the Mahdi and will secure the release of General Gordon, if alive, or wreak vengeance upon the Arabs if he is slain. Telegraph lines between London and Korti are entirely occupied with despatches between the cabinet and Lord Wolseley. Lokdo*, Feb. 6. From Cairo, all the military advice coun sels an immediate dispatch for the whole British force in lower Egypt, for the capture of Berber, and the sending of not less than 14,000 reinforcements from England or India to Suakim to ensure the retreat of the other troops, or the chastisement of the Mahdi> Arabs, whichever shall be decided on. Gen. Wolseley says it will take five weeks to reach Khartoum. Astonishment has been caused by the re port that the cabinet at its last session, today, considered a dispatch received from Lord Wolseley, asking for instruction. In this dis patch Gen. Wolseley informs the government that he will be unable to reach Khartoum in less than five weeks, when the hot season will have commenced. He assures the ministry that be feels still confident of his ability to successfully attack Khartoum and defeat the Mahdi. but says the operations necessary to achieve these results will now be difficult and hazardous. Advices from K mi state that a number of spies have been dispatched to Khartoum to ascertain the fate of Gen. Gordon. o l*. M —The cabinet council has adjourn ed after having been in session three and a quarter hours. The residence ot Gladstone has been placed under special police protection. Paris. Feb. t>. French newspapers, in comments upon the misfortune at Khartoum, at most without ex ception. agree in opinion that England will prove herself fully equal to the situation, bad as it is. Losi>os. Feb. C. Lord Wolseley telegraphs Igte this after noon. that he has been informed that Col. Wilson had one man killed and five wound- ed while returning down the Nile from Khar toum. A messenger from the Mahdi sum moned Col. Wilson to surrender and at the same time stated that Gen. Gordon was wear ing the Mahdi’s uniform. The general opin ion in military circles is that Gen. Gordon is dead. It is understood that the cabinet council today decided to give Lord Wolselev, carte blanche, to take any measures he deems nec essary for the rescue of Gen. Gordon.if alive, and to make use of such military operations as he considers advisable,to regain the ground lost in Soudan by the tall of Khartoum. Among the many alternatives suggested by Gen. Wolseley are the immediate recapture of Khartoum, and the employment, if neces sary, of India troops to reopen the Berber route. Col. Worthy, in charge of one Col. Wil son’s three steamers which succeeded in reaching CJubat from Khartoum, the two oth ers having been wrecked in the Nile between the two places, furnishes a detailed report of the expedition. This shows that the three steamers in command of Col Wilson, reached Khartoum, Jan. 28th, following the course of the Nile On reaching Khartoum it was found to be utterly impossible to land truups Then follows a description of the firing by the rebels as given in yesterday’s reports. Continuing, Col. Wortley says I lie government house at Khartoum ap peared to be wrecked One man was killed and five others wounded during the attack on the steamers. Col. Wilson’s steamer was wrecked tour miles ai>ove the enemy's posi tion. The second steamer was wrecked Jan. -'Jth. We reached Gubut in small floats the same day that Khartoum fell, Jan. 2t>th. It is certain that Gen Gordon's fate is still in doubt. Some say that he is with the Greek* in their church at Khartoum.

A Meritorious Bill The New Age of the .Oth inst. requests the Kennebec delegation to procure the passage of a law placing the City Marshal of Augusta and Judge of the Municipal Court on a salary. Such a measure would be a send one, but the New Age is late in its advice. Saturday, January :11st, re presentative Heath of this city introduced a measure more sweeping than the idea of the New Age. The Heath bill compels all cities and towns in Kennebec county, having municipal courts, to place their Judges, City Marshals, and Chiefs of police on fixed salaries. It further pro vides that no police officer receiving a per diem shall draw fees from the county. This bill was discussed at length at the meeting ofthe delegation Wednesday eve ning. Feb. 4, and met the approval of every member present. The County Com missioners and County Treasurer Hollins spoke heartily in favor of the bill. The hearinsr was continued to the adjourned meeting to be held next Tuesday. Mr. Heath expressed the opinion that the bill would result is quite a saving to the coun ty, without doing any injustice to the cities and towns to be affected. Knowing that this bill was pending be fore the delegation, the New Age with its usual hypocrisy rushes in and pretends to start a reform already started by others. At some pains we have looked up the dates of this matter, that we might expose the humbuggery of the New Age. The people will soon learn that our members from Kennebec county are as anxious for good government in this county as the gentleman from llangor who edits the New Age. The House yesterday passed resolutions in favor of restoring General Grant to the rank of General ol the Army on the retir ed list. Speaker Hamlin and representa tive Hale of Portland supported the re solves in brief eulogistic speeches, which are reported in our eolums devoted to the regular proceedings of the House.

On motion of Mr. Young, bill an act to incorporate the citv of Brunswick was taken from tee table anti passed to be engrossed. Mr. Weeks was called to the chair. The Senate resumed consideration of the bill to establish an agricultural experiment station, the question being on the motion of the Senator front York [Mr. Tapley] to amend. Mr. Heath though* the bill loosely drawn and asked for an explanation of some of its provisions Mr. Parkhurst, in response, explained in regard to the section referred to. Mr. Heath «aid that if it was satisfactory to its friends it was eminentlv so to him. He had been instructed by resolutions passed bj the convention which nominated him. to vote for the measure. Notwithstanding this he had had some doubt as to the utility and wis dom of the hill until the remarks of the Sen ator from Piscataquis [Mr. Lebroke], He was now satisfied that haste should oe made to pass it, for that gentleman had shown the great devastation wrought all over the face of the earth, which he [Mr. Heath] sup posed was on aceuunt of the absence of these fertilizer stations. He had heretofore sup posed these changes due to geological wars that had been working since the beginning of time. But it seemed not Tamerlane could not have been a very far-seeing statesman or be would have saved all of this by such a bill. He could have pursued some such course He could have instituted an order of grangers to start with, and then by getting hia resolutions into his county conventions, where they do the most good, he could have secured a liberal appropriation in his legislature, and established a fertilizer control station, and perhaps an agricultural college. Armed with these tremendous en gines, he could have arrested all of these forces of nature and kept that great country of Asia in a state of fertility. Here after all we shall have to do will be to take our little basket of potatoes, go to these fertilizer stations and swap them ofl for the potash, and there you are! All ills and troubles are healed, and he had no doubt that the hill should pass. Mr Tapley said his purpose in offering his amendment was to bring a little more direct ly to the attention of the Senate the two lead ing elements in the bill One of the elements is to protect the pur chaser of these fertilizers and to punish fraud in the manufacture. The other seemed to be to provide a means for analysis. His amendment left the bill in full force so far as to prevent fraud upon purchasers and struck out the provision for a station for an alysis. There was no call for this hill in the western part of the State. The natural rea soning would be that sufficient time has not elapsed to ascertain whether the bill passed two years ago lias proved efficient. The present law,through the licenses,makes the system self-supporting. while the measure under consideration goes to the annual expense of &">,000 to ac complish what can be done with the law we have. He could not see why such recent legislation should be abandoned at such an expense as called for here. For these rea sons he should vote against the bill Mr. Marble suggested that the amendment be withdrawn inasmuch as it left the bill pre cisely as the law now is. Mr. Taplev, by consent, withdrew the amendment. Mr. Marble replied to the Senator from Piscataquis [Mr. Lebroke] and further op posed the bill. In regard to the argument tliat a large number of petitioners ask for the law, he said petitions could be obtained for almost anything, and gave several instances to show with what little thought people sign them. To sliow the effect ot commencing with a new institution lie instanced the In dustrial School for girls which started in 1871 with ail appropriation of $100, and which, up to the present time, has had appropria tions amounting to more than $00,000. He declared that the present project was notiiing more nor less than a robbery of the farmers in whose interests it is claimed to be. Mr Simonton said, being anew member and not having studied thoroughly the sub ject. he had not intended to take part in the discussion, but lie had been somewhat stirred bv what had been said in relation to the far mers He knew what a farmer’s life is. In his boyhood he knew what it was to live on a farm where tortv acres had to he mowed over to get thirty tons of hav. The discussion called up the associations of his hovhood, arid lie could not sit still and hear this class of our p ipulation spoken of as if (hev were of no importance The gentleman from Lincoln [Mr. Marble] had said that taxation had lost Charles the First hits head and George the Third his colonies. If lie [Mr. Simonton had read history aright it was not taxation alone, but it was the ignoring of the right of petition as well. And it hail been said that the farmers didn’t know what they were signing, as though they had signed at the dictation of some men of high or low degree in the grange! He did not believe ttie accusation He did not like the course of the gentleman from Kennebec [Mr. Heath] after the instructions he had had from his county con vention. That gentleman had made the most hitter speech that could be possibly made against the measure, disregarding the instrm tions that lie received before he was elected. What were Senators here for? They were not chosen kings, but servants or agents of the people, who have a right to instruct by votes of their conventions, petitions or other wise, and it they were good agents they gen erally obeved their instructions. If he selected a man to do for hint a piece of work and he didn't do it as instructed, he would be expected to give some valid rea sons for his course. Mr. Ib ath: It the gentleman had listened to what I said he would know that I stated that on account of that resolution of instruc tion and certain other things that hail trans pired here, I proposed to vote for the bill Mr. Simonton Then the gentleman comes in here with a speech that stabs to the death this bill which he lias been instructed to sup port. and then proposes to vote for it! By this course iie Kerps the word of promise to the ear. Hut breaks it to the hope.” But he [Mr Simonton] would pas this. He did not think the gentleman from Piscat aquis was out ot the wav when he drew illus trations from the old world. We sometimes have to go beyond our own limits tor the knowledge we obtain. We are a new coun try. yet our farms are deteriorating, and our young people are leaving their.. If this matter had been taken in hand fifty years ago we should now have more good farmers and fewer poor lawyers, doctors and minis ers But the farmers of to-day are not an jgnorant class that are to have no con sideration. As lias been so well said, they are the bed-rock of our prosperity, t enators remember Emerson's hymn in which he speaks of our defenders at Concord where the "Embattled farmers stood Who tired the shot heard round the world.” Who does not remember what they have done for the defence of this country in the Rebellion They left their homes and went forth to defend that old Hag when the attempt was made to trail it in the dust, with a full determination to bear it aloft in triumph or find beneath its beautiful folds honorable graves. He stood here in defence of the farmers among whom he was born and reared, and their number, over 81,000, entitles them to respeet when they come here and ask for legislation, and no re monstrances against it. The time had not come in this country, as in England, when the owners of the s iil shall become the underlings of the moneyed men. We have, since we came here, heard of the terrific ex plosions in London. We do not justify those methods: but men are poor students of the philosophy of the history of the world who do not recognize them as the out-cropping of a disease that has cursed England tor ages. It is their landed estate* oppressing and bowing down these people, until, they are mad dened in their brain and are ready for anv remedy The proper course for England to-day is to rlevate tier laboring das*, her farmers, and accord them the man hood and pride which the people in this coun try enjoy, so that they shall look upon their government as a beneficence and not as a curse. Mr. Simnnton then discussed briefly tiie merits of the bill, but space will not ad mit of a further report ot his speech. Mr. Kimball moved an adjournment, but tiie motion was lost Mr. Young remarked that the subject had been very productive of rhetoric, and if the bill produced half as much grass as it hail rhetoric it would be a great benefit to the State. He said he wished to call attention to the fact that no point had yet been made showing how the bill was to advance the interest of the farmers. The arguments had seemed to be to show what a fine race the farmers are, a proposition which nobody had denied. He desired a short explanation as to how the bill was to affect the fertility of the State. Mr. Eehroke remarked that if the gentle man had been present during the whole dis cussion tie would have known all about it. Mr. Young: 1 call the gentleman to order. I was sent, by the legislature, to the Reform School- [Laughter.] Mr. Lebroke said he would stand corrected. The gentleman was at the Reform School. He further said he would not reply to the rihaldrv of tiie gentleman from Kennebec [Mr. Heath] for he cared nothing ah mt it, but he would reply to some of thp criticisms of the gentleman from Lincoln [Mr. Marble] which he proceeded to do. In his opinion the present law in regard to fertilizers is uncon stitutional, because it interf res with the commerce between States, and he argued briefly to show that the proposed bill would result in the saving of at least $100,000 an nually to the farmers in the purchase of fer tilizing materials Mr. Goodwin opposed the bill. His coun ty [York] was the third in the State in popu lation and wealth. It had its full share of grangers hut no petition came from it in fa vor of the bill. There were 84,000 farmers in the State; but the petitions that had com in represented only about 15,000. and it was not certain that all of ttiese were farin' rs. Mr. Stubbs moved to adjourn. Lost. A yea and nay vote was then taken on the passage of the hill, resulting in the atfi-ma five, as follows Yka—Messrs. Allen, Austin, Bearee liragdon, Cole, Cutler, Heath, Hume, Lebroke, Llbb- y.

Order requesting the Committee on State Prison to furnish an itemized bill of ex penses attending their visit to the State prison came from the Senate, that branch refusing to concur in the passage of the order. Mr. Mayo of Hampden sai I Mr. Speaker, inasmuch as other like oill« have been pre sented and accepted bv the House without an itemized account, and inasmuch as I believe it is a little uncommon to call for an item j izul bill after a eommittee —a compp i tent committee selected by this House i —ha> performed its duty, I deem it but cour ts sv to this committee that the House should i recede, and therefore move that the House recede in its vote and concur with the Sen ate.

I do not intend to enter upon an encomium of the maenifleent services rendered by General Grant. For those services, this Nation, now reunited, cannot make an adequate return. As com pared with the recognition accorded and lav ish gifts showered upon Wellington and Marlboro by the Old World, what the United States have done for their Field Mar shal pales into nothingness Passing by all these considerations, these resolves ask for a restoration to his former rank of General of the Army, on the retired list, as an act of justice. Sir. I believe impartial his tory will record the fact that General Grant gave up his place at the head of the army and assumed the Presidency, not from motives of personal ambition but rather in obedience to the will of the people. It would, therefore, be but an act of justice for Congress, as the representative of the people, to re-instate him in the position he won by bis military genius and achievements —theposition which the people desire to see him occupy and which we believe accords with his own sense of fitness. That many members of Congress, who served in the confederate ar ny, favor the de sired legislation, frees the question of all criticism on the ground of sectionalism or animosities arising out of the war of the re bellinn I he I resident of the United States, In a recent message,called the attent ion not only of Congress, but of the people of this country to the imp irtance of this subject, in the follow ing words “I may pertinently advise the pending leg islation in the Senate and Hon»e of Represen tatives looking to a national recognition of Gen. Grant's eminent services, by providing the means for his restoration to the army on the retired list. That Congress, by taking such action, will give expression to the al most universal desire of the people of this na tion is evident, anil I earnestly urge the pas sage of an act similar to Senate bill No. 2530. which, while not interfering with the Constitutional prerogative of appointment, will enable the President in his discretion to nominate General Grant as General on the retired list.” Mr. Hale of Portland, said Mr. Speaker I second the motion of the gentleman from Bangor [Mr. Hamlin.] I am glad to add mv voice and my vote in favor of the motion and of the resolution*. A philos optier ami historian a great many years ago said that the nation that neglects to do fit honor to its great men, neglects its own honor. I do not fear that tins nation will neglect to pay a tribute even though it be a late tribute to the great services of that great man. I do not fear that the American people will be unmindful of the justice of the case. I do not fear that Congress will fail to do some thing within the purview of the order. The most eminent statesman of the British Umpire, just after our War closed expressed the senti ment of the civilized world when he said tltst; (Jen. Grant was the greatest citizen of Amer ica. and the greatest soldier of the world Now, it is not within the spirit snd geni. of our institutions to pile up titles and landed estates upon our heroes, and upon their chip dren; but the American nation cannot afford" to hare the people of the world believe they forget; they eannot afford to have th# civilized world believe they would neglect forever an act of justice. As my friend froni Bangor has said, think what other nation, have done for their military heroes; think of what the British people did for Wellington think of the enthusiasm ot the French peopl, for the memory of Henry of Navarre; ttiinkof the slight services rendered by either of these men to his country as compared with ths services of Gen. Grant for the people of the United States. Gentlemen, it is never to late to do justice This is a late tribute, hut the statute of limitations does not run sgain>t memory an.1 against gratitude. The Ameri can republic caan.it afford even at this late hour to be unthoughtful and ungrateful [Applause J Mr. Walton of Skowhegan. inquired i„,» tlie vote should be tnk -n. and Mr Hamlin of Bangor moved that the vote he taken by ris ing.

It was located beneath tlie gallery at the right of the stage. Blue satin draperies constituted the wall', the entrance being hung witli white satin handsomely dec orated witli moss paper of varied hues. The interior presented a surface of old gold, ma roon and pink draperies. Tlie floor was carp ‘ted and the furniture consisted of chairs and sofas upholstered in damask. The hall was attired in a costume tilting for the occasion and T hr ■m’limiiwH" were profuse and of much beauty. They w ere designed for the Charitv t>all in Boston and had never been used. Beal was the dec- orator and the appearance ot the halt last evening attested to the preeminence of this firm in the art of hall adornment. Halt of the stage in the rear was fitted up tor a cotlee room. To the eye it presented a groundwork of maroon velvet faced with three brilliants, one of which was six feet in diameter and us companions three. The calcium light was thrown upon these, which was reflected back into the hall in varied colors. The entrance w the room, which was built in the torn, of j an arcade, was garlanded with violet, white, and green mass paper The brilliant, were also surrounded by moss paper. A shield on whic t was emblazoned the coat of arms of the State hu g suspended from the proscenium from, flanked bv pendant, of pink, white and green ,„oss paper. The stage front was taeed with pink and red draperies, trimmed with moss paper, and surmounted bv the flags of all na ,,ons Red. white and blue bunting depend ed in graceful curves from the crown ot the ceiling and were caught up at the cornices. The cornices were also faced with red. white and blue bunting, while the gallery walls be neath bore American shields. A mammoth American coat of arms covered large space L the gallery wall in the rear, facing the Maine coat of arms on the proscenium front. The gallery front, were faced with waving moMe, of sheeny red and white draperie. surrounded by a border of pink mo„ paper. The window, were also hung with bunt ing.

The committee, which consisted of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Whitehouse, Mr. and Mrs Thomas Lambard. Mr. and Mrs. Selden Connor, Mr. and Mrs. J.

For the first time in the histo ry receptions in Augusta,tile music was fur nished by home talent. Pullen’s Orchestra of thirteen pieces and leaj hv Prof. H. M. Pul len, were stationed on the platform. The music furnished by this effective orchestra was perfect, as all who took part in the danc ing can attest. Over the moving throng on the floor, over the crowded galleries and out upon the wintrv air, floated the captivating strains. One hundred and fifty couples yielded themselves to the pleasures of Terp sichore and her attendants, ami for over four hours tripped lightly to and fro in the mazes of the dance. To add to the beautv of the scene, colored calcium burners of much pow er Were arranged at the rear end of the hall, throwing a flood of light of many hues upon the fl tor and over the costumes of the ladies. The effect was very striking and drew exclamations ot admiration front the spectators. The gaytoilets of the ladies made a pleasing contrast with the more sober garb of the gentlemen. It was as though some highly variegtted fabric with constant ly changing figures had been unrolled before the company. The order of dances was neativ printed on card hoard. It was as follows: 1 Promenade 2 Lancers. 3 Promenade. 4 (Quadrille. 5 Promenade, ft Lancers. 7 Waltz. N Portland Fancy U Waltz, Kedowa and Polka. 10 (Quadrille. 11 Waltz. 12 Waltz. Mr. Silas W.

(uticura Mrs. Smith's Case, *lift what the Kev Mr. MrKinstry has to say about It. To THE PUBLIC. I have been a fearful sufferer tor fifteen years, most of the time with what has been called Eczema or Salt Rheum, Psoriasis and l.epra, and the like, and have always been told that there was no cure for me, anil have been so discour aged that I had a* soon die as live. I have been so badly affllc’ed some times that there was not the smallest spot from the crown of my head to the 8*dea of my feet that was not diseased and a- red as crim son. It would commence in small white spot-* which had a silvery appearance, but were not deep, but if I attempted to heal them, or soon after thuir first ap pearance, they would burn and run together until there was a complete dry, red scale, which would be come so inflamed as to crack and look fiery and angry, and the burning sensation would be almost intolerable. I wa* at times so lame that I could scarcely get about, and could not dres- myself without assistance. I have tried many remedies, and have paid $100 in a single instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief. Although helped for a tim*-, I -oon relap**-d aga n to be as badly troubled as ever, and during the winter of 1881 and 1 x*2 I suffered so much as to be entirely discouraged. Last June, however, I was advised by Elder and Mrs. L. C. Mc Klnstrv, who are well known in these r* gions, to try your Cuticuka Remedies; and I felt somehow a little courage, from their favorable opinion ol them, to try their virtu*-. About the second week of July last I commenced taking the remedies, and within fix weeks I began to «ee a permanent improvement, until now (Oct.l) I am about as good as new and ray flesh is as the flesh of a child MRS. BENJ. SMITH. I certify that the above statement of my wife is correct, and I join wit- her in expressing my grati tude for the great benefit she has received. I certify that the above statement is correct. Mr. Smith is a prominent man in this community, where he lives, tie is a well known dealer in stock, and his statement, with that of his wile, is fully entitled to ere tit.

Y. Dr. Kkxxkdy, Uoxoorr, N. Y. DKAK MR My daughter was afflicted with a se. vere growth of Fungus. To remove it we had re sorted to almost every remedy and consulted the most prominent surgeons and physicians. Dr.-, of Troy, said that a surgical operation would be nec essary, but fearing fatal results I hesitated. Some of the physicians claimed that it was caused by one thing and* some by another. The Fungus was prom inent and disfigured her looks. Having heard of Dr. Kennedy’s FAVORITE REMEDY working so thoroughly on the blood I determined to try it, to see if this medicine could do what doctors hail tailed to do and surgeons had hardly dared to undertake I can say in truth that the result ot this trial was the complete cure ut my daughter ot this dreadful malady. l)r. Kennedy’s FAVORITE REMEDY alone effected it. We used nothing else, for other things had completely failed. My daughter to-day enjoys vigorous health and to Favorite Remedy alone is the credit due. My wite also was very poor in health, due to some liver difficulty with which she had suffered a long time until she became very much reduced in flesh. A trial of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy lias resulted in the complete restoration of her health, which she had not enjoyed for years. She had gain* din flesh and strength, and thus se cured perfect health, and this is DDK ENTIRELY TO KENNEDY’^ FAVORITE REMEDY. As for myself, being engaged in the grocery and commis sion business, which makes it necessarv for me to test the quality of different articles, like bufter, etc., my sense of taste and my stomach were seriously in jured. Everything seemed to nauseate ine, and fearful of dvspepsia in its most severe torm, I tried 1 DK. KENNEDY’* FAVORITE REMEDY. The first bottle afforded immediate relief, ami from that day to this J can say that Favorite Remedy has re stored me to pertee- he Ith. These are filets which I claim prove that D Keune-y’s Favorite Remedy is the best medicine in the world tor those afflicted wi»h the above difficult!

A Petite Married Woman Who Wears a Child's No. 13 Shoe. A correspondent of the Phillips Phono graph gives the following account of the adventure whicn he met with recently dur ing a trip to Aroostok county After traveling one day by a road through the woods until well into the af ternoon.I came to a clearing which proved to be a fine farm with a good set of build ings. Wishing to know how far it was to the next house I called up to the door and knocked. An old man opened it whose gray hair and general appearance would at once tell the story that he had een not less than 75 winters. In answer to my inquiries, he told me it was four miles to the next house and 15 to the one the way I had come; and they were full snug enough at that. By this time what I took to be a little girl made her appearance. She looked me over and then began to question me. Was I a hunter? Where did I come from? And what had I been doing there? Where was I going to hunt and how long was I going to stay Then telling me that there was the best hunting about there that there was any where in the country, and that they some times took boarders, and boarded the cheapest of any one on the road and set the best table ot any one, they asked me in. 1 stood my rille up in the corner and before 1 had time to pull a chair up to the stove the old man informed me that they “did not keep any money in the house, sent it right awav, did not dare to keep it bv them a minute, and always kept armed right up to the handle.there were so many of these critters coming around.” “Yes sir,” chimed the young lady, “one of them came along the other day pre tending to be a hunter. lie wanted a drink of water and while he was drinking he looked the room all over and then said, ‘You don't stay here all alone do you?’ •Yes sir,’ said I ‘me and my revolver.’ “What are you talking about?” said I, "a little girl like you could not shoot a revolver.” “A little girl like me!” she squealed. “What do you take me for? I am 26 years old and his wife into the bargain.” 1 don’t remember what 1 said, but l should not have been more surprised if she had said she was his grandmother, I look ed first at her and then at him, then back at her again. “Well, you are a bouncer for a married woman. You are as much as three feet and a half tall, aren’t you?” “\res, sir, I am four feet.” “Weigh about eighty pounds when you are fat, 1 suppose.” “No, sir. 1 weigh just seventy-two, and I wear a child's number thirteen shoe. Yes sir,” she vvent on, “1 am twenty-six and Eben is seventy-six. He is the best looking old man on the road, and he is as smart as a cricket.” “No doubt of that, but you are the -ruallest thing that 1 ever saw for a mar ried woman.” “Well. I'm smart, just the same.” “So that makes you a smart pair.” “Yes, sir, it does.” Bv that time Eben bad got the old gun down for my inspection, and as he passed it to me, he said, “There she is, just as you see her; she hain’t handsome, but when I point her at anything, instant death is always sure to follow.” I stood her up by the side of me. The muzzle just touched the top of my ear. “Oh, she has got length to her,” he said, and as I stuck my whole thumb into the muzzle, he explained. “Carries ten to 1 the pound, round butts, slugs four.” I found tiie date on the lock. 17*11 that was j what you might call an old settler. By this time an idea struck Ella (that was what Eben called tier). “Think I haven’t got a revolver, do you?” and away she went into the bedroom. In a moment she was back with one of Smith A- Wesson's, the latest improved self cock ers. :lg calibre. I reached out to take it, when she drew it from me quickly, cling- i ing to it with both her ltttle iiands, which would have been small for a girl ot ten. As she held it at a safe distance from me, and turned it so I should be sure to see it was loaded, she squealed, “There, sir. I can lire that just as last as you can wink vour eye.” Alter slit* was satisfied that I had had a good look at that, she darted into the bedroomagain. and came out with j one of the largest sized Colt’s. I also had the satisfaction of seeing at a safe dis tance that the six barrels ot this were all loaded while she explained, "I sleep every night with these right by my head. Then, il I hear any racket, going on in the night 1 know right where to put my hand.” 1 made up 1113' mind at once that if there was any racket going on in that house af ter hours it would not be by me unless 1 had an attack of somnambulism. i passed a very pleasant evening with them. Kila sat in her baby rocking chair and yanked a piece of gum that Eben “started” for her while he told me many a bear and deer story. But geology was bis bobby and he would go from a bear’s back 10 it at one jump. In this he carried me along pretty well until he got me to where a “horse-back bolted into the main ridge with a gully between.” and a “whirl wind picked up a rock that weighed ten ton,” and there he lost me. Ella made me up a fine bed in the best chamber and I slept well. The next morning I paid my bill and went on my way. Where I put up the following night the people on my telling them where L passed the night before, seemed surprised. Said that generally they would not put, up people there and usually people did not like to stop there, especially if thev did not like their looks tor if stories and their shooting irons did not start them, he would bring along a human skull or two. As he did not show any of these things to me I felt quite flattered. Poor Eben! not. a day passes but that I think of him and wonder it he is still alive. In my mind it is only a question of time and a short one at that, before he will wake up some night and find that his ner vous little witqh ol a smaller halt has made an air hole through his body or blown his head half off 1 hope not for I should like to go that way again some time and find him hale and hearty as when 1 last saw him I can recommend the place to any traveller that happens to strike it. and has good nerves, as one ol the most interesting stopping places on the road. High Praise. One of the editorial writers of the London, Daily Sportsman, in an interview with the Australian cricketers, oarsmen, athletes and gymnasts, ststes as the confirmed opinion of all that St. Jacobs Oil, for the cure of pain, aches and all bodily ailments, has no equal and its reputation as such is recognized wherever it is known.

It Is a delightful dressing for the hair, arrests the tendency to baldness, is agreeably perfumed, and is an effective remedy for all diseases of the hair or scalp. Mrs. D. N. Parks, Clio, Mich., writes: “One bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor has entirely restored my hair to its natural color, and giveu it a beautiful, soft, silky appear ance. I am fifty-seven years of age, and was quite gray. By the use of that one bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor, the original color was perfectly restored, and I now c y tc a 7. 2 its 3 O S3 cs 0 ui 2 i i511 «fs®2 III I c f 2 co icpi 0 2 t. .b -3 3 3 3 U |«aS5 5 p x Si a J i 3 o (0 (0 I 111 OC -3| D 11 O 1 |'t *5 X «s have as hue a head of hair as when 1 was sixteen." Bessie II. Bedloe, Burlington, Vt., was troubled with a disease of the scalp, which caused her hair to become harsh and dry, and to fall out so freely that she scarcely dared to comb It. A yer's Hair Vigor restored the scalp (o a healthy condition, cleansed her head of dandruff, and made her hair beautifully thick and glossy. This preparation is approved and recommended by physicians. AYER’S Hair Vigor Restores Vitality. When the hair begins to fade, grows gray, becomes weak. thin, brittle, and harsh, the vital forces of the organs, on which it depends, may be reestablished by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It will cause a new growth, presenting the lux uriance and color of youth. Every woman who has arrived at the middle ago, and who wishes to retain the original y O x* ■j' Cfn "J T rt SS B> S Q 7? y X beauty of her hair, should use this incomparable remedy. Mrs. o. O. Prescott, 18 L’lin st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: "Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned rapidly, and I was fast growing bald, tin using Ayer’s Hair Vigor, the falling stopped, a new growth eonnnem ed. and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. My hair lias continued to grow, aud is now as ample as before it fell." IV. IV. Wilkins, Windsor, III., says that erysipelas in the head left his scalp as bald as an infant's. The u-e of less than a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor produced a tine growth of new hair, of the original color. PKEPARKD BY Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., (Analytical Chemists), Lowell, Mass.
