Are Straining Every Nerve for Adjournment—TheyWaufcto Got Into the Presidential Eight—House Has Little Business in Sight. Washington, Feburary 16.—Tho ooming week in the Senate will be devoted to action on the appropriation bills and a dlsoussion on our gelations with foreign powers. The bettor part of the week, not counting unexpected matters that may be rejected during the morning hour will be given to the consideration of the military aoademy bill, which new has the right of way, and the pension nnd consular aud diplomatic appropria tion bills. These will exhaust the appro priation bills so far reported tu the Sen ate by the commit ee. As the consular and diplomatic bill may cause a general disoussion of foreign affairs, it is as sumed that tho entire week will be oun sumed In disposing of the appropriation bills now on the calendar. It is doubtful if Mr. Morril will en deavor to call up the tariff bill again this week. The Republicans who have care fully canvassed toe situation, say any such motion would tend to com plicate matters, and no good can grow ->ut of it, until they have brought about a COHESION OF SENTIMENT In their own ranks, and seoured the neo sssary one vote from the ranks of tho Populists. This, at present, seems im pussiuiB. air. juorrui, 11 is believed, will out renew bis motion until be is sure jf succo ss. Tomorrow, Mr. Pavls, of the foreign relations commit tee, and author of the resolution reported from the committee, anunointing the Munroe dooti iue, (which has not yet, and possibly nover will be passed) will addresB the Senate upon that resolution. This speech has been anticipated for some time,' with a great leal of iuterest owing to the advunoed ground taken by Mr. Davis, and his well-known familiarity with his subject. Mr. Davis Is one of the closest students in the Senate, and his speech is expected to set forth the position of the ultra radicals upon the subjeot in a clearer light than has yet been cast upon it. The Cuban resolution, supplemented recently by an additional report from the loinmittoe on foreign relations, deelar ng it the opinion of Congress, that this fovernment should REMAIN NEUTRAL md grant all parties in the struggle pending In Cuba, equal rights, has the right of way as unfinished business and temporarily displaced by the appropria tion bills, it will doubtless call cut a cumber of speeches during the time the appropriation bills may be under consid jratlon. Mr. Mitchell, chairman of the commit tee on privileges and elections, will to morrow submit to the Senate a majori ty report on the Dupont, (Delaware) Dr.se, in favor of seating Mr. Dupont. The minority report in the hands of Mr. Gray,will gonn follow. This matter, in volving question of the highest privilege, md may at any moment be called up for consideration. Though early adjourn ment is talked of, few senators are hope ful that Congress may get through by (he first of June. Among some Hepub- i lioan leaders,every nerve is being strained to accomplish this resnlt, so nothing nay interfere with their attendance up >n the national conventions and cam paigns that will immediately follow. Phflra 4a rmt.'Mnr* 4r» f IN THE HOUSE jut appropriation bills. When the House c idjourned Saturday afternoon, general lehate had just been concluded on the igiioultural appropriation bill, and chairman Wadsworth expect* that a day 1 ir two more at least will be consumed n the discussion of the bill. Other bills, ootibly the post office and lava) bills, are so far advanced that the douse will have scarcely any opportuni y this week to consider any other class 1 if legislation. Air. Johnson, chairman of the com nlttee of elections, No.3, before the week lose, may call up the report of the com nlttee in the case of Van Horn-Tarsney ontest, though tha probabilities are ■gainst its consideration at present.

London, February 15.—Some remark able applications of Prof. Roentgen’s dis covery have been made this week. There is at the Vienna Museum of Natural History an Egyptian mummy wbloh has human form, but from the inscriptions it was taken to be chat of an ibis. It is fo rare and valuable that it was not pos sible to do the durnage of opening it. It was taken to the Soliool of Photography i pd photographed with X rays. The pioture obtained snows the outlines tf the large bird’s skeleton and proves jeyond doubt the nature of the contents. Prof. Von Bergmann, the famous sur jeon, performed his first operation, with 'he assistance of the Roentgen rays on rusday, removing twenty small shot :rom the arm of a young man. The pro fessor made this important statement: “There are many arts and sciences to which Pi of. Roentgen’s discovery will be if greater value than surgery. Its appli cation to surgery will lead to many ibuees. Everybody wbo has a bullet or ether foreign object in his body expects it to be found by the new method and wishes to have it removed. “After many years of practice in peace ind war, I maintain chat foreign objects, the presenoe of which in the body is not is source of trouble or danger, ouvlit to be left whore they are. The conscious ness of having an extra bit of lead, for Instance, in one’s body, especially when it causes no inconvenienoe, does not in she least counterbalance the danger of the operation necessary for its removal, sspeoially is this the case in war. USED ICE OEIbbLEK TUBES* Photograph of Bones in the Hand at a State Normal School, Kingston, N.

The test was intirely suoooessful, and the photograph ibtained is one of the best yet produced >y this process. Those who have seen :he pioture are astonished at the clear, less or the linos. At the Normal school, ■esort was had to an ordinary bichromate lattery of ton cells. A novel feature o! the experiment was ilie substitution of the Geissler tube foi ;he Crookes tube. The Geissler tube is in apparatus in which light is produced or an electric discharge through rarefied jases.

Did Cleveland Write an Anti Silver Tetter to a German Statesman? German Min isters Witness Exhibitions of tlio Won derful X Kays—Prof. Speiss Waxes Facetious. Berlin, February 16.—Eight iucendiary fires have ocourred within a short time in the populous Moabite district of Berlin and the inhabitants of the city are great ly alarmed thoieat. Seve ral arrests of supposed incendiaries havo been made, but as yet there is no direot ovidenoe against them. In each oase, combustible material, saturated with petroleum, sat the buildings on fire. The fires are at tributed to auarohists, and the police believe incendiaries are working con jointly with a number of their associate who act as claimants for the 300 marks reward, given for the disoovery of the fire. Baron von Buol-Berenberg, president of the Reichstag, issued invitations last week to ministers and members of the Reichstag, Burndestratt and German press, to be present at the speoial exhibi tion of the Rostengen rays, which was given by Prof. Speiss in the session hall wj. wuo uDiuusung, luumuay. iue great hall was crowded and most of the min isters were present. Prof. Speiss, after making a number o f experiments, de livered an explanatory address in which be suggested that science would soon be so developed that they would be able to photograph contents of seoret documents through letter boxes. The only means of safety ministers had, he said, was to use letter boxes made of lead. In connection with the silver debates in the Reichstag, Herr von K ardor IT as president of the Bimetallic League of Germany, has sent a letter to President Cleveland asking whether the statements recently made by Dr. Theodore Barth, the eminent German monometallist member of the Reiohstag for Berlin, that Mr. Cleveland assured him he would veto any silver bills Congress might pass, were true. Dr. Barth, Herr von Kaidoff wrote President Cleveland, bad protended ho had received the authority of the President upon one of the visits be made to the United States of late, to ex press his views upon the silver question. Herr Ven Kardofl’s lettor was forward ed to Washington through the United Sates embassay here. The Paris Crisis. Paris, February 16.—Prime Minister Bourgrois this afternoon visited the Palace of Klysee and informed President Faure that the cabinet had deoided unan imously not to resign in consequence of two votes in the senate blaming the government for the appointment of Judge Poitevin to oondvct the inquiry into the southern railroad scandals The ministers hold that the vote of con fidence adopted by the chamber of depu ties on the same interpellation that led to the adverse vote in the senate is suffi cient justification for them to remain in office. POOR LIEUT. DOE Died of Hydrophobia After Terrible Agony—Patrolman Bussell (joes to the □Pasteur Institute. Lynn, Mass., February 16.—Lieut. Nel son H. Doe, after suffering indescribable agony for 48 hours, died at 6.05 this evening at the Lynn hospital of hydro phobia. His end was peaceful, as the horrible spasms with which he was con vui6ed during most of the time rinoe the disease teaohod an acute stage, ceased a short time before death. Up to the time be was bound, at midnight Saturday, the patient was lucid daring intervals be tween the attaoks and was delirious most of the time for 13 hours preceding his death. None of hls'family were Dresent at the time of his passing away. Patrolman Joseph Russelhaocompanied by Dr. Little, the oity physician,will go to New York tonight to the Pasteur in stitute to undergo treatment He was one of the officers attending Lieut. Doe when it was discovered that the latter had a knife with whioh he avowed 1 is intention of putting an end to his su ff erings. In the struggle for the possession of the weapon, Patrolman Kussell was slightly scratched on tb e thumb it is supposed by the nail of the maddened patient. The wound was immediately cauterized. In view of recent experi ences, noithor City Marshal Wells nor any medoioal men oounected with the hospital felt it prudent to neglect any precautions. It was at once decided to have Patrolman Russell go to the Pas teur institute for treatment. The ap plication of electricity which was to have been tried Saturday evening had to be abandoned on aocount of the intrantibill ty of Lieut. Doe. He was iudnoed to tako electrodes in his hands and a cur rent of perhaps half the intended voltage was passed through his body, when he threw the electrodes away and the ex periment had to be abandoned. Prof KUhu Thomson said the application would have been purely experimental, as eleotrloity had never to his knowledge been applied in a hydrophobia case. Men Wear, Women Wear.

Dr. Gardner Ludwig Passes Away Earley this Morning. Succumbs to Pneumonia, the Disease that Killed His Wife a Few Days Ago—The Aged Couple Had Just Celebrated Their 60lh Wedding Anniversary —A iirief Sketch of His Life. Dr. Gardner Ludwig died at his resi dence on Congress street at half past two this morning. On the 38ch of January Dr. Ludwig and Mrs. Ludwig celebrated their golden wedding, and on February 9th Mrs. Ludwig died from an attack of pneumonia, resulting from a cold caught, as was supposed, on the ocoasion of the celebration. Dr. Ludwig was quite feeble at the time of the golden wedding, and the death of his wife weakened him still more. He was stricken with pneu monia and also at his advanoed ago was unable to rally. He grieved exceedingly over the loss of his wife who had been his constant companion for sixty years and wanted to go. There is something very pathetic in the death of the aged couple, so soon after celebrating a wedded life of three soore years. Death only parted them for a few days. It is singular that the deaths of Dr. and Mrs. Ludwig and Mr. Oren Ring, who was a next door neighbor and had been a life long friend, should have ocourred within a few days of each other. Dr. Ludwig came of German ancestors, being the grandson of Capt. Jacob Lud wig, one of the German emigrants who settled in Broad Bay, Waidoboro, in 1748. Jacob Ludwig was a sturdy man, and orderly sergeant in the French and In dian war and a captain in the Revolu tionary army. After the war he wa s the first representative from Waidoboro in the General Court of Massachusetts. His son. C!nl. .Tnonh Tjiiriwlcr Hr father, was for many years a represen tative of Waldoboro, both in the Massa chusetts legislature and also after Maine became a state. He was 25 years a select man of Waldoboro and over 30 years a deputy sheriff in Lincoln county. Dr. Ludwig was born in Waldoboro in June, 1812, being consequently 84 years of age at the present time. He was edu cated in the tnwu schools, studying med ioine and graduating from the Bowdoln medical school in the olass of 1833. His five brothers were all physicians. Dr. Ludwig went first to Rockland where he was in active practice nealry twenty years. About forty-live years ago he came to this oity where he has since lived honored and respected by all who know him, and always standing high in the ranks of the medical profession. Dr. Ludwig’s long life has been a sin gularly quiet one. He has held very few, if any public offices and has never been very conspicuous before the public. In war times, Dr. Ludwig was an ex amining surgeon for recruits, and many a soldier owes his military record to the dootor’s recommendation for service. Many years ago Dr. Ludwig wbb struok by a train while crossing the tracks of the Grand Trunk railway and had part of one of his legs so bad ly injured that amputation was necessary. On January 28tb, 1836, Dr. Gardner Ludwig of Rockland was united in mar riage at the home of the bride’s pareuts in Seasrport, to Miss Elizabeth Lot hr op, grand-daughter of Thomas Weighty. The ceremony was performed by a Methodist olergyman, then at Searsport. The Dr. leaves no children. Notice of the funeral will be given hereafter. MAJ. BRYANT BURIED. Imposing: Military Funeral of the Rate Major of the First Regiment. Biddeford, Me., February 16.—Col. L. H. Kendall and staff of the Biddeford Light Infantry, First Regiment band and the four Portland oompanles of the state Guard, attended the funeral of Maj. George W. Bryant of the First Regiment this afternoon. The local tiro companies, Granite lodge of Odd Fellows, Maroshen lodge, Knights Pythias, and delegations from the Masons and Patriarchs Militant also participated in the oeremonies. The funeral was In the Pavilion church and was conduoted by Rev. F. P. Estabrook of Biddeford and Rev. C. S. Cummings, Augusta, chaplain of the regiment, and was very impressive. MRS. MANLEY VERY ILU Mr. Manley Summoned From Washington and Arrives to Find Her Dangerously 111 of Pneumonia. Augusta, Febuary 15.—Mrs. Manley, wife of Hon. Joseph H. Manley, lies dan gerously ill at her honje on Hoslptal street of pneumonia, and very little hope is entertained of her recovery. Mr. Manley has been confined to the house for a week with a bad cold, but as no dangerous symptoms had developed Mr. Manley started for Washington last Sunday. Yesterday she appeared to be worse and [Mr. Manley was telegraphed for, ns well as their son Samuel and daughter Mrs. Chase Melien, who lives in New Yoik. Dr. Weeks of Portland arrived last night, buCgave very little encouragement, as a bad heart trouble hns set In. Mr. Manley left Washington ut 12 yes terday, and accompanied by his son and daughter, arrived on a special trains at 2 this afternoon.

Mr. Rogers Preaches One of them at the Pine Street Church and Rev. Mr. Kimmell Addresses a targe Congrega tion at the Cliureli of the Messiah— Dr. Blanchard On ^Lincoln, at Congress Square. Rev. F. C.Rogers, pcstor of Pino street Methodist ohurch, delivered a sermon last evening on temperance, one of the course that is being delivered by the different Portland castors. Mr. Rogers commenced by Haying that the addresses made recently by some o( the clergy, had thrown un electric light on the disgraceful scenes of the liquor traffic. Sensation, is better, however, than apathy. Liquor selling, said he, is a greater crime today than it has ever been. He spoke of the facilities for modern travelling and the crowds whose lives were in the hands of pilots and engineers, who if given to drink, placed these Jives in jeopardy. Fifty years ago few travelled and each stage or vessel carried but a handful of passengers. Now long trains and great ocean steam ers are tilled. Turning to the liquor traffic in our city and state, the speaker made these points First,there should be a division of blame. We are apt to censure the pulpit for its silence. Beyond educating ana warning very much. An abstract from a Lewis ton paper was read, telling of the liquor sellers of that city, fearing a police raid on aooount of an enforcement meeting, sending their liquors away, and when they found it a false alarm, they returned the liquors and opened the bars to catch tho 10. ao o’clock, home theatre goers. The church is not wholly blameless. It’s members should not vote lor men who will not favor protection laws, and for admitting liquor sellers into good society. But if the pulpit and general publio are not blameless, that doesn’t lessen the culpability of public officials. No ory of “lack of publio sentiment” should direct censure from meD win have sig nally failed to do their duty. We need law for the elevation of the people, tn protect them against themselves. If the law is only partially successful it is because it is spasmoulo. Th news journ als mast bea* some measure of blame. Let our city press give more aid to hon est efforts to oreate publio feeling. Third—There is more need of common I sense in dealing with drinkers. Manu fa. turers and merchants would surely prefer sober men than drinking men for employes. They would be safer, more capable of endurence and in everv wav, better for business. Think of the thou sands of dollars that And tbeir way into the till of the run;seller every pay day. One firm paid out to employes 400 marked ten dollar bills and tho next Wednesday they came into the banks where they wore deposited by saloon keepers. There is a way to stup' this. The railroad companies and trolley com panies do make sobriety obligatory upon their employes. That rules, looking to the employment of only sober men are adopted by great factories, mills and foundries, I am aware, and “not only does public opinion from upon intoxica tion in the closing years of this country as never before, but Ihe whole develop ment of the industrial world has opeiat ed to deter men from druukenntss. The railroad companies become temperance organizations of tremendous influences when they debar from employment the man who even patronize the saloon, and is then liable to cause disaster and immense loss of life and piopeity.” Iu temperance is becoming moro and moro a barrier to suocess. Kven the managers of the greatest liquor trust in this ooun tr.v rooentiy adopted an ironclad rule to employ none but strictly temperanco men. But the railroad companies arid other corporations do not insist upon this _ l work and places in which men are not likely to endanger property, men are em ployed by subordinate officials though ocey aie intemperate. And if merchants, builders, painters and publishers em ployed only temperance men, the saloons would have little patronage. The saloons of this city are supported largely, is it not so? by the wages of workingmen. The Civio league stands for the best of ideas, for best eduoation and agination and for the eleotion of tine men to office. WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED. Impressive and Eloquent Tem perance Sermon by Rev. W. M. Kimmell. At the church of the Messiah last ev ening Rev. W. M. Kimmell, delivered an eloquont and impressive sermon on teraperanoe, but a great pressure of mat ter prevents the giving of more than an imperfect abstract. A large audience was presont. Mr. Kimmell said that even slavery was not without its one bright spot. There were kind hearted slavo owners, who tried to make even captivity lead to ultimate good, but intemperance lias not even that little bright spot, but is without a single redeeming feature. It breaks up homes; it turns joy into sad ness; life into death. If this traffic that costs ns 60,000 lives and 1600,000,000 every year was so methiug new, a wave of righteous wrath would sweep it from the land. When England did something that was light and trifling when compared to this, there was a rushing of men to arms, and for seven long years men and women endured nil the horrors of war, until England ceased to have dominant atlon over us. It makes the heart beat quioker to read that story, and yet we are giving to the liquor traffic a degree of toleration hard to understand. In some of the states the liquor sellers are li censed, and are even elected to positions of trust. It is true that liquor is sold to freely even here In Portland, and it°may be true that a man with money need not g o very far before being able to purchase liquor, but still we may thank God that forty years ago under the leadership of an honored citizen of Portland, Maine de cided for prohibition. It is said “proiri tition is failure.M An absolute success it icay uofc bo until this woiltl is peopled with a rodeomed race, but to a large de gree it is a success, it may uot have ful ly driveu tho liquor traffic from our midst, but it has made a great c*Hference botween Portland and other cities. It is not that a glu.,;s of liquor can not be obtained in Portland, but that the liouor traffic is not seen everywhere; that it is not freely and boldly an nounced. There are no open saloons; no gilded signs; no outward indication of tho business; no invitation to come in aud drink. And while it is true, as is often said that the law has nut wholly crushed and entirely extermiriated the traffic, it has driven it out of sight, and has made it hide itself like a wild beast in its den. It this iaw is not effective, why are the liquor sellers in favor of its repeal? It is heoause it is so far effec tive that the liquor seilors must keep men at the door of every saloon to watch for tho coming of the officers. A lioense system means allowing men to do with o ur consent something we know is wrong and ought not to be done. It means the making of tho traffic semi respeotable. It is a recognition of the idea that this Belf-indulgenoe is neces sary, something the church of Christ can not do. A manly man should do nothing to disgrace his manhood. Prohibition is the on!y safe and right way. Ail law should be enfoiced. It Is said, “The public sentiment is not iu favor of en forcement.” That may not be true. A hundred men seem sometimes to be moro than a multitude, and what seems t> he the sentiment of the majority is iu reali ty that of an aggressive minority. But we must show to evil doers that back of the law is a strong moral purpose, and there is no more Impressive moral teach er that the rigin enforcement of a right eous iaw. It is doubtless true that thero is great need for an educational cam paign, but side by side with it should go the rigid enforcement of law. He said he hoped much from the Civic League, and much from the present series of tem perance sermons, and bent wtih rever ence before the work of tho W. C. T. U., but still tlio officers of the law must do their full duty. But while we should hold to a strict accountability every officer, the officer who is doing his best in the discharge of a hard duty should hear the ‘‘Well done” of his fellow citizens. And wo should expect no speedy viotory. It will not come in our day, but there can be no question ns to tho final result. God’s spirit is in tho world and he will bo with his people in their tight agaiust forward, never doubting the final vic tory of right over wrong. We will not be satisfied with life ns it is, but we will he content with slow gains in God's cause. THE TRANSFIGURED PRESIDENT. Dr, Blanchard’s Lecture at Congress rqunre Church. The Kav. Dr. Blanchard preached a sermon yesterday morning in Congress Square church, on “The Transfigured President.” The text was taken from the CXII. Psalm—“The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.” Dr. Blanchard spoke in substanoe as follows: It is of the gravost importance to the welfme of the American people that they should have over before them command ing examples of noblest character, 'i hey arc to bo congratulated in having two ot these—Washington and Lincoln. He would speak of the latter. His birthday had been celebrated, during the lust week in many parts of tne country. The South now venerates him. The partisan who once reviled him, now, as. a patriot, reveres him. If there had been too much of eulogium, iu these celebrations, of living statesmen east and west and too little eulogy of Liucoln, as was almost inevitable, then it is the duty of the pul p.t to concentreta attention on this greatest of Americans, The theme, then, “The Tran-figured President,” is a fit ting one for ilia hour. i o transfigure is to transform into something elevated and glorious. The character oi Lincoln was transfigured before no died. It now over reaches the work! for men who can see greatness. The need of such an example is very great. It is over thirty years since Abraham Lincoln passed into the higher world. Our population ami wealtli have increased vastly. But illiteracy, in proportion to litoraoy is larger now than ttion. Wealth is massed among unscrupulous getters. Nobility of manners has lessened. There is de crease of religious home instruction. There is w idespread municipal corrup tion. Too muuy nowspapers are guided by low motives. Difebmief iu God widelv prevails. mere is not a mgn standard among public men. These evils aro ex aggerated by the demagogue, but they exist. What shall overcome them The church, the college, the scieutifio asso ciations, aft, music, but divine us aro all these agencies the influence of no Ido character is el! important. To know Lincoln fully is to receive inspiration to noblest living. Dr. Blanchard hare dwelt at length upon the leading elements of tiro trans figured President’s character. He showed how passionate was his desire for tuo welfaro of all men—how great was his love of truth—how profound was his de votion to justice—how large was his magnanimity. Born among the lowly, ho rospeoted every individual being. H a saw some spark of tho divine in all mer. He longed to help them all. He wished, therefore, that all men should have free dom The Hungarian and Polish and English nobles talked of and fought for liberty, but it was the liberty of their class, not of the poeplo. Lincoln would have all men free. His love of truth was ;o great and so evident, that all who knew him loved him as “Honest oUl A.be.” He hated a lie He stood for truth always and everywhere.

Stanton in the ►oeition ot secretary of war—bis over looking of evil speaking against liiinseif, by men who, he believed, iilleti their piaous well, snow the greatness of his loul. He was willing to retiro from the santost for a second term in favor oi Bov. Seymour ot New York. He pro posed this, only asking his assistance in leouring tho enforcement of tho drafting fcf men lor the army. H is oner was re fused. Ho proposed to Hen. McClellan, Whom ho greatly esteemed as a 6oldier &nd a tnau, that he should withdraw his Bandidaoy, since the signs showed the certainty of his own triumphant ieelec tion. He believed that such au act as this would hasten the end of the war. MoClelian’s noble heart responded to the proposition, but the politicians dissuaded him irom doing so. All tho new material for Lincoln’s biography now being brought to light, show his glorious mag nanimity. bucb a man, believing in Hod, longing to help man, ready to saori nce himself for his country’s good, is an example most gravely uesded by tho sel fishness of mankind. pr. 1.lap chard made strong appeals for a thorough study of this noble life in hemes and sohools and oolleges and political oircles. The young need to know him to receive baptism from his great soul. Parents, teachers, professors, ministers should solicit all whom they could reach, to see how Lincoln towers above all oilier Americans—that lie is greater even than great Washington. Hr. Vincent will have a “Hall of Christ” in next summer’s Cliatauquau assembly. There, in a library, there will be all the lives of Christ over writ ten. There, in a hal! of paintings, there will be inspiring piotures of His deeds. In Washington, there well may be a Hall of Lincoln. In it should he placed all the lives now written and all those which yet shall be; in it should be put pictures of his great deeds. Then may they who, disgusted by selfishness of politicians, w sh to turn away from this, enter into this hall and seeing and studying may ha refreshed by this great soul—may be made to feel how Hod raises up great men for great occasions. “The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. A! ’aba'it Lincoln was a, righteous man. His fame shall be in everlasting remem brance. Others who toiled for self will p,i into oblivion. He shall live resplen dent in posterity’s mind. The transfig ured President shall be an inspiration to toe present and coming generations. EDUCATION. A Brilliant Address by Prof. Bavidson at the First Parish. It is impossible to reproduce the quick wit, the keen humorous asides, and the 1 unique personality of Prof. Davidson, but one may at least indicate a few of the salient features of his admirable lec ture at the First Parisli church on Satur day evening. The obvious and fatal de feat in the education of the present day, is its want of unity and the fact that we ourselves have no dear idea of the way we ought to go, hence, difficulty in direct ing the intelligence of the average man or woman. Seeiey says of the English people, “\Vh3t pursuits do they desire for tram (their children).” Eioept that v hen they grow up they are to make or a livelihood and take a satisfactory i n: in society, aud in the meanwhile, it would be hard for them not to i,’ themselves heartily, (Ametieans f.uM say, under any circumstances have a "food time”), most parents would be 1 d to say what they wish for their children. And whatever they wish, they wish so languidly that they en trust the realization of it almost entirely to strangers, being themselves so they say—and indeed the Philistine or irre ligious person always is—too much en gaged. The parent from sheer embar rassment and want of an ideal, has in a manner, abdicated and it has become necessary to set apart a special class tor the cultivation of parental feelings and duties. The modern sohoolmaster should charige his name for he has become a kind of standing or professional parent. The aim of all human life and culture is the realization of the free self-direot ing man. Bondage assumes four forms: i j physical neeus, to passion, to estab lished institutions and to unseen pow ers. The savage or barbarian is in reality the least free of all creatures. The unity of tne human being, lies in his end, which is freedom or self-realization. Life, in so far as it is human, ia the way to this eud, the process by which it is reached. Education is the guide of such life. When is a man free. When ho knows his own end and the conditions under which it can be reached, thus obeying the soc'atio imperative. When he values these conditions truly, obeying the command of Christ, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all thy soul and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.” Vv hen be acts strongly under the in fi uence of this knowledge and this love, if knowledge fails, he is a slave to blind ness. to tradition, to prejudice; if love foils or is falsely distributed, he is a slave to passion; if will fails to act, he is the impotent slave of weakness and in decision, as well as of the external world of things and institutions. Education mu3t elicit in the man, knowledge, Jove and wilL The body is the first de partment of education; the care of the nutritive, muscular and sensitive sys tems. We seem to have no special name for the care of the sensitive system, all *.oreo involve care of the nervous system. Children are allowed to eat improper things and at improper times above all, in condemnation, they are allowed to eat f r i n pleasure of eating instead of for of health and freedom.

Address HOUSE. lebl'Jti MORTON AND THE SEEDS Tne Subject of Hot Talk in the Sen ate Saturday. Members, Republicans and Democrats Denounce the Course cf the Sec’y. ol Agriculture—Boatner of Louisiana Is Extremely Indignant. Washington, February 16.—On motior of Mr. Draper, Republican of Massachu setts, the House bill directiug the secre ary of war to revoke the acceptance of the resignation of Lieut. John C. Cuttei “for the good of the service,” in January 1864, and to Issue him an honorary dis charge as of the 6am e date, was passed. Mr. Call, Republican of Tennessee, from the committee on accounts, report ed the resolution authorizing the com mittee on ways and means to investigate the workings of the reciprocity treaties. Mr. Grosvenor, Republican of Ohio, presented the petition of 8.662 member; ef the G. A. R. praying for a gradec service pension law. The House then went into committee of the whole apon the agricultural ap propriation bill. Mr. Baker, Republican of New Hamp shire, whose controversy last summei with Secretary Morton over the refusa of the latter to distribute seed in a ccord ance with the appropriation law and the intention and desire of Congress, was exploited at the time, addressed the com m it tee. He quoted largely from formei speeches in Congress and from reports bj departmental effioers to show tuat the secretary could have car/ied out the law as passed by congress to the advantage of the country generally and farmers in dividualiy in the DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS, as it had been done for more than thirty years. Mr. Baker asserted that there was absolutely nothing in the opinion of the Attorney General, upon which the secretary of Agriculture said he basec his action, to warrant that official in re fusing to execute the law of Congress it relation to the distribution of seeds. L»t?uiuurai oi ueorgia, 101 lowed Mr. Baker In denunciation of the course of the Secretary of Agriculture. Air. Boatner, Democrat Gf Louisiana, was the next to attack the secretarv. His manner expressed the deep indigna' cion he said he foit over the fact that the refu-al of the Secretary of Agriculture to expend the seed appropriation madi by the last Congress was based upon t sort of false pretence. Said he: “The individual who has found the way intc the agricultural department under tbit administration (laughter) considered it not inconsistent with the dignity of his position to allow reports to go out through the press, scattered broadcast through the Union, that he had discov ered great FRAUDS AND ABU3E3 from the distribution by members ol the seeds allotted to them under the ex isting law. 1 do not know whether these statements are true or false, but dc know, and assert, that the publication ot any suoh scandalous charges against a body of gentlemen, without the designa tion of tte names of the individuals whc have been found so small and so oorrupt and so unfit for the positions they occupy, was not inly an insult to the Congress of the United States but a cowardly at tack that was inconsistent with the dig nity of any man who occupied a cabinet position. For one, as a member of the S3rd Congress, I resent and denounce at in infamous slander the imputatior i hat thrt body, as a body, or the prcced ing Congresses of which I was a member, were addicted to that use of the seeds which were allotted to them for distribu tion among their oonetituents.” Mr. Livingston, Democrat of Georgia, followed in tho same line, bpt first criti cized the commissioner oj agriculture, whom he said, the House and the coun try would hold responsible for the con duct of the Department of Agriculture. The committee then rose and the House adjourned till Monday. HAVE BROUGHT THEIR NAMES. Foin Kwan Soh and Bong Sun Fak Are Here. Washington, February 16.—Poin Kwnn Soh, the new Korean envoy extraordi nary, accompanied by his secretary, Bong Sun Pak, arrived here this after noon, 7 days after leaving Seoul. Ho was rather surprised on reaching the location to learn of the reported over throw in the past few days of the cabi net of which he was until r«oently n member, but declared if the news was verified it would not alarm him for no harm other than momentary ever oame to Korea from suoh affairs. There was a iong step in advance on each occasion and it was eventually found that re volutions did not go backwards. When lie left the country, the last of the old year, the whole people were showing the beLefioial results of wise reforms and he did not believe any back steps would be taken.All the officials from the king were warm admirers of the United States; American models were sought for Korean institutions and upon the friendship of the government at Wash ington Korea, in a great measure, relied for the preservation of her independence and general advancement. Secretary Olney was informed of Mr. Soh’s arrival this afternoon and will make an appointment to present him to the President next week. Mr. Soh, who has spent 10 years in Washington and speaks English fluently, is about 35 years old. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler Do., W.

THE BRIDE WAITED But Bennett the Groom of a Month Came Not—A Sensational Case in the Oxford Court, South Parle, Me., February 15.—This was criminal day in the Oxford Supreme Court and the grand jury reported 15 in. diotments, among them being the follow ing: FernaDdo S. Bennett, cheating un der ialse pretense; Gao. A. Hodgney larceny of a horse, carriage and robes .James McGJade, malicous mischief Charles F. Beals, laroeny; Charles R. Lyman, Frank Robinson and James Stone,breaking and entering and laroeny, Alphonso Biiledeau, transportation of liquor. Hodgncy pleaded not guilty and Hon. George E. Wilson was appointed as bis counsel by the court. Beals pleaded not guilty and Hon. James S. Wright was appointed ills counsel. Lyman and Robinson entered the store and post office nt Andover and have served the 15 months sentence imposed by the United States Court. Consequent ly this oourt ordered the indictments for breaking and ontering no! proseed and sentenced each to 60 days in the county jail for larceny. Jam es Stone pleaded guilty and was sei tonoed to ten months in the oounty jail. Bennett pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four months in the connty jail. Biiledeau pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days and to pay $50. McGlade pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 45 days imprisonment. One of tbo most unique and roman*},, cases before the grand juiy was that cf F. S. Bennett of Bethel. While at work In Norway last October he married a young lady who had recently been di vorced. They lived together in an appar ently happy manner about a month. Then Bennett one day suddtnly arose from the breakfast table, jput on his hat ana went from the room as if to get an armful of wood or something of the sort. He did not return, but his young wife was not much larmed at first as she supposed he had gone to the village, especially as he took no over coat. When he did not return during the evening, she became perplexed and when no was BHii ansenc tne next day, she went to her father’s house, about two miles away. She returned that night, got supper and waited for her husband with a bright light in the window most all night, but he didn't come. She waited in vain another night. Then it was reported that Bennett had bought a horse on the instalment plan, making only one payment; borrowed a carriage and harness and, accompanied by a friend, had gone on a trading tour. Ho swapped horses, carriages, etc., several times, driving through sparsely settled towns so fast that tho officers had no difficulty in tracing him. After an ex citing chase, the officers overtook him near the New Hampshire line. A wom an is reported to have teen driving the team, with Bennett and his male com panion lying on the bottom of the car riage with a robe thrown over them for concealment-. The reason for Bennett’s strange disappearance from his new wife, his peculiar conduoc and the iden tity of the mysterious woman, were not brought out in court, owing to his plead ing guilty.

The Good Old Bowdoin—Mr. Geo. Thomas called upon to load in the Old Bowdoin hymn. Prof. MoDonald in his response ex plained the needs of the college and spoke of the relations of tho alumni to the college. Col. Bradbury paid an eloquent tri bute to our country closing with Scott’s linos: Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said This is my own, my native land. Mr. Thomas, a classmate of Thomas B. Reed in coliege, pointedly alluded to the fact that Maine numbered somewhat less than 700,000 in population while the United States numbered some 70,000,000 ODd that the graduates of Bowdoin stood somewhat in the same proportion to the graduates of all tho other colleges, only one in oue hundred. Yet in spite of the fact that Maine and Bowdoin were oniy one per cent, the United States came to ibis little down east state and college for men to preside over the Supreme Court of the nation, and over the Senate and the House of Representatives. More than this, this year the oountry will ask for a son of Maine and of Bowdoin to preside over the Exeoutive Mansion and __11_.lA-llniAA 1U:__1 _ ill And this because wo have in Maine a statesman that in honesty of purpose, breadth of view,and in brawn and brain, towers among his fellows as some forest glaut among the “whispering pines*’ of Old Bowdoin rises high among the surrounding woods. Surely it was he, our own T. B. Heed, whom the great dramatist of the English race had in view, when he uttered the immortal words: T. B. or not T. B. that is the question? (Great applause and laugh ter.) But brother alumni this is the English view. With ua Americans there is no question about it; the next admin istration is to bo T. B. you be sure of that. Judge Putnam in his response to “the Law,** spoke of It as a hard mistress in her many and varying demands upon the best efforts of her votaries, but over and above the technicalities of the law was the earnest and honest effort of every ad vocate that right and justice should triumph. Hon. Geo. M. Seidern, the prsident of the Senate, spoke of the many and exhaustless resources of Maine in its forests, its quarries, its harbors, and the unrivalled water power of its rivers. Horace Greeley said: “Go West young man,” and in consonance perhaps with that mandate, the people of Maine, a decade ago, had sent their money west for investment. The result was the peo ple of Maine had had an object lesson in investments of a sorry nature which they would never forget. Maine investments were now made at home and as one grand result thereof he could point with pride to the fact that today the savings if the people of Maine, deposited in Maine banks, exceeded the amount de posited in tbo savings banks of any two oi the greatest states of the West. Dr. Cummings spoke pleasantly of the luties of the physician of today which were to anticipate and prevent disease rather than to endeavor to cure when pcxhftps it was too lata. __MI8CX1XAMOUB.

Prof. Files, of Bowdoin, spoke elo quently of the needs of the college for better appliances for gymnastic exeroises.

Data News Gives Seat of Perpetual Dis turbance—Tlie Transvaal Difficulty and Disturbances iu Egypt. London, February 15.—Tbe tone of tbe Conservative and Liberal spceohes in tbe debate last night in the House of Com mous-and the consequent commonts to day of the newspapers of both parties, disclose the fact that there is a ourrent of opinion favorable to British Interven tion in the Transvaal on the pretext of defending the rights of foreign residents of that republic. The cjyuotator says that the possibility of a terrible war underlies the declara tion cf Baron Jlarschall von Bierber stein, the German foreign minister, that Germany will not abandon her resolve to interlere iu the niiuirs of the Transvaal. The paper deoiares it thinks rhat if Great Britain was lairiy roused, there would be no danger of Parliament refusing ihe de mand or the government for munitions of war, but anus that it is uoubtlui if the country even now is aware of the Ureau iui suudenness with winch an extreme emergency may unse. The latest despatches from Cope Colony confirm tna view generally entertained here that the V oikshraad of the Trans vaal will decide that it would not he wise or expedient for Piesident Kruger to make a visit to England. The news papeis of Natal say they expeot that the negotiations between Great Britain and the Transvaal will end in u rupture of diplomats relations and that this will be followed by hostilities. According to the Natal Advertiser only a miracle can avert a war. Lord Cromer, the British agent and consul general in Egjpt, will makes visit to England iu April. Reports from Cairo associate his journey with a new deal regarding the British occupation of Kgpyt. It is said that Lord Salisbury, tonowing the hrenun policy, will offer to evacuate the oountry and have it placed uDder joint European control. The Ger man and Beer trouble influences a settle ment of tue question of the dispute be tween Great Biitain and France regard ing the bouuuaries of the Niger terri tories is on tue eve of being arranged. The debate in tbe House of Commons on the address iu reply to the Queen's speech wiil close on Thursday. Aeooruing to the Pall Mail Gazette the debate on the Venezuelan arbitration amendment will elioit trom the ministers a declaration that there is a cordial entente with Wash iukiuu iegaruiug one preoeuure to te tal lowed In deciding the claims ot Great Britain. The representative of the United Press has learned from an official source that the war office, acting unoer orders from tho government, has made every prepar ation to send an army corps of 110,000 men to South Africa. Despite the silence of the English papers aud in th e face of tho possible denials, tire absolute acouraoy of this statement can be relied upon. The war office was consulted by the government tno week after Emperor William sent nis despatohes to President Kruger as to how lnug it would take to laud a fully equipped army in Natal. Plans were prepared between the war officer and the admiralty with the result that it was reported that an expedition could be ready within throe months. Tilt details of the scheme are known only to the beads of the war offloe'aud the mem bers of the inner cabinet, but the infor mation received by the representative of tho United Press points to a large con tingent being drawn from India’s caval ry, artillery and infantry, including Sikhs and other native troops. THE FRENOH SCANDAL. Dissolution of th® Government Is Again Threatened at Paris, Paris, February 15. —In the Senate to day, M. Monis, Republican, again inter pellated the government regarding the appointment to conduct the investiga tion into the Southern railroad scandals, of Judge Poertvein instead of Judge Rampler. A long debate followed. Min ister of Justice Riard repeated the de fence of the ministers, previously made and advised the Senate to weigh well tho result of the vote in opposition to the option of the country. The Senate however, 161 to 71, oonflrmed the vote taken in that body on the 11th inst, placing the blame in the matter upon the government. After the voto on the interpellation, the ministers held a lenghty conference. They decided tl:at Prime Minister Bourge ois should lay the situation before Presi ient Fare. There is great agitation and uncertainty in political oiroles and tumors of a dissolution of parliament 1 ind revision of legislation gain credence.

The alleged confirmation of the story of the discovery of the North Pole by Dr. Nansen is quite as lacking of details as was the original story. How is the story confirmed, Instinctively asks the reader, and he finds no answer whatevor to his inquiry. Evidently a good deal more confirmation will be needed, before peo ple will believe that Dr. Nansen has reached tho pole. The PRESS hug received the following: I wish to ask a few questions about government for information. The gov ernment issues a hundred dollar four per cent 30 year! bond; how can I afford to offer 110 for it, aud how oau anyone offer me 120, how, when and where do I get my margin, or does this man who buys of me? How much gold does the govern ment get for the hundred dollar bond T bought? I oannot understand how the government and the purchaser both make monsy. Neither the government nor the pur chaser makes money out of this transac tion in the ordinary acceptation of that phrase. The transaction is one of borrow ing and lending The government says to the public: “Lend me $100,000,000 for thirty years, and I will pay you four per oent interest annually foi the use of it and return the principal at the end of that time?” As the seourity in this case—the promise of the government—is regarded as the very highest kind, the rate of interest, in view of the seourity, high too, a great many people offer their money to the government. Not only is the public willing to lend its money, but anxious, bo it comes about that there is competition among the people who have money to loan to get the gov eminent to txko their money; and they begin to offer induoemants. One man Is ready to say if you will take my money l will let you have it at 8 1-2 per cent interest; another, I will letiyou have mine at 3, and another, I will let you have mine at 2 1-2. But the government says that under existing law it must pay at least 4 ter cent interest on its notes, or bonds, which is merely another name. Theu the competitors resort to another method of induoing the government to take their 1,V»nOV. Orft RRT. Tf Wrtr. money, I will give you 105 for your promiso to pay 100 with 4 per cent inter est on the $100. Another offers 110 and another 115. This premium is simply an indirect way of reducing the interest that the government has to pay. If a man pays $100 for $100 bond, bearing in terest at 4 per cent, the government pays 4 per cent interest upon it; but if be pays 110 for it then the government does not ia reality pay 4 per ceDt interest, but a l.ttle over 8 per cent; If he pays $120, then the government pays only 3 1-3 per cent. Whether a man own afford to buy government bonds and give 110 for them or 120, depends simply on whether he thinks ho can afford to be content with the interest they will yield him. It will not of course be a high rate, but it must be tiorue in mind that the securi ty i3 perfect. He is sure of getting his money back, with interest. At ft premium of 10 per cent the government will receive $110,000,000 gold.for $100,000, 000 of its notes or bonds Our friends, the Democratic enemy, have had their blood quickened a little by the sharp contests in the Republican o mouses. A week ago to all appearauces, they were dead. They are not very live ly now but there nre some indications of animation about tbem. A vision of Republioan dissensions has in spired them with a little hope, and ao condingly they have opened their eyes. Whether they relapse again into a coma tose state, or oontinuo to revive, depends entirely upon whether Republican differ ences end with the caucuses cr are car ried into the election contest. The Demo cratic party of this town uuaided, are abie to accomplish nothiug. All their successes in the past iiave been due to the aid that bas come to them by reasou of Republican dissensions, and that is the only condition on whioh Democratic success is possible today. Jt ljpS there fore entirely with the Republicans to detormico the outoome of the pending election. With the Republicans united, Democratic success is impossible. Witt dissensions existing among them it ma; oome. What has any Republican to gain by i Democratic viotory in this town? W had one a few years ago. Can any one o the Republicans who helped bring i about remember any benefit direct or in direct that acorued to him in oonse quenoe of it? Does any one of those Re publicans who have no personal axes t grind, hut simply desire that their vote shall make for good government local any improvement in municipal adminis tration that came from that Demoorati victory? Does he not recall that that ad ministration was signalized by a suoces sion of petty eoandals and wound up wit: an attempt to perpetuate itself by a mis erable conspiracy, oontloned if not eon nived at by prominent men in the party to falsify the count in 'Ward 1? With tb recolieotion of the conduct of the las Deraooratio administration fresh in hi mind, how is it possible for any Repub lican who simply desires good govern ment to vote to place the Demoorati party in charge of the city government Has the Democratic party shown an; signs of reformation during the pas three years which would entitle It to bi trusted after its outrageous abuse of pub lie confidence during its last administra tion? Are not the men who engineerei the Ward 1 count out just as promlneu as ever? How is it with Republicans who ma; be affected more or less by selfish mo tives, if th6re be any such? Are the; likely to derive any personal advantag from a Democratic administration? Di( v,“v j Atopuuiiuai out of office that it possibly could, anc did it Rot put Democrats ouly on guurd It acknowledged tliat its victory wa due to Republican assistance, but it n sooner got power thau it kioked ever; Republican out and tilled their place with Demooruts only. After electioi the victory was nothing but a Demo oratlc one, and no Republican had anj standing whatever. It will repeat it performances this year if it gets j chance. Republicans will be coddled be fore election, acknowledgments of obli gations to them will be made on paper but it will be on paper only.

Yaw, and her company, (oomposed ol jsir. uioe, the weii-Kuown violinist, and Mias Lay, pianist) arrived at the Fal mouth hotel on Saturday. An exchange says of Miss Yaw: “Her method bai evoked as much comment as the wonder fill attitude and lyric sweetness of hei voice. It is faultless. Her* tones ari produced without the slightest physioal eftort. Her cadenzas are astounding The most intent observer will not dis oover the slightest breath movement, si perfectly does this wonderful organ pro duce its fascinating strains. The audito naturally wonders from whence the sil ent power of propulsion comes and liov the slight and lissom girl expresses thi charms and volume of tone for whici her lower and middle registers are fini examples of perfect voice placing. Either get tickets at Stockbridge’s to day or at the hall in the evening. Taluage. Tomorrow night Rev. Dr.Talmage will deliver the next lecture in the Stock bridge course, and tickets should be se cured at Stockbridge’s. The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “An audience cannot sit unmoved In Dr. Tai maga’s presence. It cannot but learn new evidences of the truth of the Bible and the worth of hu man kind. It cannot but be impressed with the wonderful fashion in which he weaves science and biblical lore, history, experience, and travel into one command ing harmony of intelligence, truth and devotion. For two hours Dr. Talmage poke, but so rapidly that he easily wove into his address a more ordinary sermon and a remarkable lecture.” Stockbridffe Course.

Schooner® Making Port for Shelter—A Quiet Sunday for Graud Trunk People— Charles Q. Goodhue's Picture Recall® Old Times to Capt. E. P. Flckett. Nothing bad been heard up to 6 o’clock yesterday from the Labrador, and the in ference is that she is having a hard win ter passage. The fishing fleet is slowly coming in. The Albert W. Black arrived yesterday with 15,000, the Mcses B. Linscott with 6,000 and the Fairy Queen with 8,00C pounds of cod and haddock. The Gloucester schooner Fredona ar rived yesterday with 50,000 pounds of ood and haddock, and Captain F. T. MorgaD said they had a very rough trip of just fourteen days. They encountered much bad weather and high winds, and lost anchors and fore gaff. They were foroed to go into Shelbourne wheie they repaired damages. The schooner is the first of a series of fishermen designed by Burges® and is regarded as the best of all his fish ermen. She was frequently washed during the heavy storm she passed through. There is a considerable number of schooners in for a harbor and several coasters made the run down from Boston and other points yesterday. At the barge ofltioe yesterday Captaiu E. P. Fiokett, who Is the great authority on all things anoient as far as marine matters go, said that the ploture by Mr. Charles A. Goodhue in Guenihner’a win dow reminded him how greatly Portland has changed in a life time. It shows Clay oove years ago, with Spring bridge, the Dyer house, and other landmarks. The tar shops were there, and Captain Fiokett said he tended the tar kettle many a day and assisted in tarring many a good ship hauled up on the old railway to be repaired. The picture is striking ly aoourate and will interest many old citizens. __ 1 Mr. Haskell, the truckman of those days, and his four big truck horses. He used to wear a white frook and was employed to haul vessels up on the old marine rail way. He was one of the well known 1 characters of Portland then, veryfpositlve in his convictions, and apt to let the faot be known. He was a temperanoe man, and would never consent to draw liqnor. 1 On one ocoaslon a merchant who wanted to have some casks of new rum moved from the wharf to his store, applied to him to do the work but the sturdy tem perance man roplied, “No sir. My team 1 is a temperanoe team and as long as I live will remain so. He lived up to his 1 convictions, and when he died many years after was greatly regretted. “Then Mr. Goodhue’s picture," said Captain Pickett, “brought to my mind Master Lemuel Dyer, the veteran ship builder. In those days his ships were found almost everywhere and no ship builder had a higher rpeutation. I re member a ship he built where the laun dry of the Portland Steam Paoket com pany now stands. It was the c Upper Bertrand, and was later commanded by Captain Arthur Smith. Mr Dyer was a very honest man and a great ship builder. Ho has pasted away like the swift ships he built, but Mr. Goodhue’s picture shows how things looked when he was turning out ships for the mer chant marine of this state. “In 1843, the brig Ariel was built by William Robinson, the ship builder who had his yard near the head of Pranklin wharf, at that time called the old rail way wharf. Her bowsprit extended over into Fore street. She was a beauty, but foundered on her way around Cape Horn. I remember a vessel that was built t£ere and rigged with double topsails. The kickers among the sal lore said she would be a failure, but she proved a perfect suc cess. Mr. Goodhue’s picture will reoall all this and much more, to old residents of this city.” vvirn omy uue steamer in pore ana with n great amount of freight on hand it was a quiet Sunday with the Grand Trunk people, about the flsrt of the sea son. The steamship Parisian will make one trip to this port later on In the season. The wrecked sohooner Luoy Wentworth was n packet between Boston, Portland and Machias, was on her way to this port at the time she was lost, and was in command of Captain Hill. The great tug Right Arm, the largest tug built up to within a short time, will be eclisped when the largest tug in the world gets here, and she is on her way with a three master. She was launohed only a short time ago and this is her trial trip. REED AGAIN. Four Votes For the Maine Statesman in II linoig.

The Light Fingered Brigade made a raid in and around Portland Friday night. Mr. Ira C. Stockbridge was nearly knocked down by two of them who were in a hurry to leave as Rlr. Stockbridge came in. In Westbrook, the thieves, there is reason to believe, rode around in a team into which they loaded their booty. An attempt at robbery was made in Peering and a man seen there is suspected to be the man who bred sov oral pistol bullets into the Westbrook eleotric coar. The robbeiies in Peering and Westbrook supply a plausible theory to account for the bring into the car. It is suggested that the man with the pistol may have been one of the burglars and had mistaken the niotormau’s friendly salutation for a request tor him to stop and toll who he was. The store occupied by the M. Steiuort Sons oompany and the Stockbridge Music company on Congress street, was entered by burglars Fridey night be tween the hours of 9 and 11 o’olook, and but for the timely arrival of Mr. Ira Stookbridge the thieves would have made quite a haul. Entrance was gained by climbing to the top o(J a fence In the rear of the store, breaking out a pane of glass and turning the catch on the window. The thieves then entered the store and found a bag of tools belonging to Mr. George Foster, a piano tuner, employed by the manager, Mr. JVlcGouldrio. With some of these tools they pried open every desk and drawer in the store, and after ransaokina them thoroughly, threw the contents on the floor; scatteiing them in every direc tion. The thieves seoured about $15 in silver from Mr. Stookbridge’s money drawer, and about $5 worth of valuable tools belonging to Mr. Foster. They also took a bunch of keys from Mr. MoGoul dric’s desk, one of vvhioh was the key to the front door. A valuable guitar and several high priced musical instruments had been gathered together, evidently to pass out through the window, when the burglars were ready to go, and if they had not been scared away there is no telling what they would have got away with, as it seemed their intention to make a clean sweep of everything portable. Mr. Stockbridge, who was at the Maine Cen tral ball at City hall, came out about 11.80 o’clock and thought he would go to his store and see that everything was all right before going to his rooms. He opened the Casoo street door of the store when two men suddenly flew past him, almost knooking him over in their hurried rush to escape. The oleotrio light at the corner shines fully on this door and Mr. Stockbridge got a fairly good look at the thieves. He describes them as being young men, well dressed, one being about 18 years of age and the other about 25. Mr. Stookbridge immediately notified the police station of the buiglary and the officers are on the watch for the men. The thieves are believed to be part of the gang who hare made the breaks in this city and vioicity within the past few days. Westbrook came in Friday night for its visit from the burglars, who have been making themselves so conspicuous in different parts of the state the past few months. The work was done in a wholesale manner and the amount of porpeity oarried off was considerable. K. S. Raymond’s drug store and Kim ball Eastman’s and C. H. Keisen’s gro cery storos were the objeotive points. An entrance was effected into Ray mond’s drug store by cutting out a large piece of the plate glass window. His place was relieved of the entire stock of outlery, inoludiug kuives, razors, etc., a number of boxes of oigars, and his en tire line of leather goods. Mr. Raymond estimated his loss to be $200. At about 1.15 a. m., the proprietor, who resides over his place of business, heard a noise below but supposing it to be his clerk, who Is often called out in the night to supply the wants of the doctors or a cus tomer, did not investigate. The next place entered was Kelson’s grocery store on Brown street. An en trance was gained by eutting the glass in the door and turning baok the bolts. There was svidenoe that they baoked a vehicle up to the door and then proceeded to load it. The booty seoured here was a quantity of tobaooo, cigars and groceries and a slot machine that Mr. Kelsen had purchased the day previous. Saturday morning Mr. Kimball Kast man found that an attempt had been made to enter his plaoe of business.. He found that they had gained an entrance to his stable in the rear of his store and had raised a window leading into the store. They were evidently frightened away at this time. A quilt was taken off from a clothes liue at the rear of Waterman’s confeotiouery store. This evidently was used in their manipulation a3 it was found about a quarter of a mile from the Town house road crossing in Deering on the Portland and Roches ter railroad. The shop at 57 Preble street, ocoupied by Mr. J. A. Drake, a watch repairer, and Mr. Isaac I.uwe, a harness maker, _ —h; vps i

forced an entrance through a window in j a paint shop which Is in the same build- j ing as the two shops that were robbed, and kicked down a looked door that sep arated the two apartments. Mr. Drake fortunately oarried home with him all his best watohes and more expensive tools, but the thieves took everything else of value they oould find, inoludlng watoh material to the value of $300, tools and old watches. Mr. Lowe lost all his harness making tools. The oaso was put Into the hands of the polloe Saturday morning. The thieves left the plaoe as they entered—by the rear. The loss is a severe one to Mr. Drake, for he bad just started in busi ness and had been aooumulating valuable watch material and tools for year s. An attempt to burglarize the grooery store of E. E. Rand of Oakdale was made Friday night about 11.30 o’olook. A large square of glass in the door was cut with a diamond, whioh fell into the store, making a noise and arousing the family who live over the store. Upon looking out of the window they saw three men running up Forest avenue toward Woodfords, one of whom had ou a light overcoat. When the 13 o’olock special Deering car in charge of Conduc tor Bowdoin readied Noyes street a stranger boarded it and at Clifton street another wearing a light overooat, who was reoongized by Ct n due tor Bowdoin. This man left the car at Woodfords and was later seen loafing nbout. The first man who boarded the car left it at the Maine Central station. They both asked if there was another oar from the city. The man with the light overcoat an swered the description of the man who tried to hold up the Westbrook car and fired two or throe shots at it near the oity poor farm about three-quarters of an hour later. THE HERRING DUTY Causes Joy in lire Hearts of the Yankee Fishermen. St. Johns, N. F., February 16.—There is general satisfaction among the mer chants and fishermen here over the de cision of the American government that Newfoundland herring entering Ameri duty. Now tbe duty 1m only exacted on flsli carviod by Newfoundland ves sels. This decision enables tbe latter to oompete with the Gloucester and Bos ton vessels on an equal footing. The newspapers urge the looal dealers to pre pare vigorously to compete with the Americans next season in forwarding herring from Placentia and B'ortune bays. All Quiet at Haverhill. Haverhill, February 1H.— It has been very quiet at tbe labor headquarters to day and tb6re is good outlook for a peace ful settlement of the turned work price list. It is not believed that a strike of any magnitude will ooeur. It is possible that a strike may ooeur Monday in one or two factories, but it is very doubtful, as both sides soeni anxious to have the troubles adjusted by a committee of the board of the conciliation. The manu factures are closely scanning the price list,and in many instances they find that the prices asked are not very much high er than those they are now paying for the same work. The list will probably be accepted by a large majority of the turned work manufacturers. BRIEFLY TOLD.

He was glad to see 60 mu3h patriotism manifested by the resi dents of Westbrook and stated that he believed there was as much need of patri otic aotiou in dealing with the liquor traffic today as thero was in ’61 in deal ing with issues of slavery and secession. He then called upon the Secretary of the league, Mr. E. J. Bragdon for his report. A list of the legal proceedings instituted by the league since its orga nization was read. They had. brought seven suspected liquor dealers before Judge Tolman’s court and had secured a conviction in each case. The cases were all appealed and carried to a higher court, where five were thrown out. The other two oases have nob been settled. The causes for the cases beinj? thrown out were either an unsufliciency of evi dence or a defect in the warrants. Mr. H. K. Griggs next addressed the meeting. Me opened by arraigning the ijib ttuuuMuuuju uuubuu manner. He said it was not ae abstract thing, but a living, lighting force. He believed in divorcing the temperance movement from politics. He thought when this was done, there would no long er be heard the cry of a lack of public sentiment to baok up the enforcement of the prohibitory law. Protection, was the subject of a paper read by Mr. W. K. Dana, vioe-presideDt of the league. He stood for the protec tion of the home from the evil of drink, and stated that he was doing all in his power to make the borne secure from this destroying power. He hoped that everything of a political nature would be excluded from the meeting as it was being hold in a house of worship on the Sabbath. The interest centered in the next speak er, His Honor, the Mayor. Mr. Cutter is known to be a sincere believer in tem perance and there was no doubt in any one’s mind but that he would so declare himself. Just what line of action lie would recommend as the best means of scouring this end was what his political friends and enemies were anxious to as certain. That his present position or future aspirations did not in any way influence his remarks, was vory evident and those who had hoped to gain noliti oal cupital out of liig remarks were doomed to disappointment After condemning the use of liquor in the strongest terms, and point ng out the potency as a factor in oruna and pauperism, the Mayor said: MAYOR CUTTER’S REMARKS. “It seems to me that the prime factor— the most powerful auxiliary in the con test is home influence. Surround your sons and daughters with an atmosphere that breathes of temperance and sobrie ty; lead them by precept and example to a life of virtue, aud their future when out from under the parents’ care is assured. Of oouisu there are exceptions. As it seems in some cases as if parential teaching went for naught, for the child becomes disaspated and destroys his own happiness and much of that of his rela tives and friends, but I do not believe this the rule; it is the exception. “Education will tell, and a temperate people will certainly make less demand for liquor, and the matter of supply and demand enters largely into this question in its commercial aspect. Lessen the domand and you will certainly reduce the production of liquors. There is uo conflict jn this world that proves more clcariy than this oue, the ti otli of the old adage—that ‘eternal vigilance Is the true price of sucocss. “There is a financial or ecnomic side of this questiou that should engage the tiLLouLiun ur everyone, r.r is inis—reach your children to practice eoonomy in the use of money. A boy given to saving his money, isrnuoh easier to keep within the hounds of a temperate life than one that has the free, open-hearted ways of a spendthrift, ft is the duty of every parent to impiess upon the mind of every child the necessity of practicing economy in the use of money. By calling a hoy’s attention to the immense amount of money than is worse than thrown away in the purchase of liquor, you can show him the harm and uselessness of such an expenditure; and by showing him how much good lie can do with his own few dollars,you may lead him away from the danger of investment in alcoholic bover ag es. “Home instruction and public agita tion upon the the temperance question has accomplished much, even within my own recollection within this community as well as iu the oountry at large. There was a time, not within my memory, however, when those that were considered the loremost men aud leading citizens of Westbrook, sold and drank liquor. It was, 1 have been lold, as much ail ordi nary article cf sale in these days as flour and sugar, and was in common and daily use in the majority of the house holds cf the town. It was thought al most nil impossibility to do the season’s haying, to ereot a house, or to move a building without the free and almost un limited use cf liquor. These were ‘the good old times’ that we read about. As good as they were, such a condition of things would not ho tolorated in any community in New Kugland today. The good new times of the present are much pleasanter to live in, as the people as a whole, are infinitely better, more relig ious, mole temperate, more intelligent, and better to associate with in every way. “I wish to touch upon a little local history, as it is frequently asserted that there is more drunkenness in this city than ever before,and that liquor is being sold to as great un extent as was ever known. Now to me such a statement is so extravagant as to be absurd. It is too severe a criticism upon the results of the temperance tnaoliings, publio and private, that has been going on Imre for years.

Even the in dividuals that make the statements know better when they make them. But to return to the matter that 1 came across recently that refers to the liquor traffio. It is a petition signed by some 50 or more citizens, many of whom we remember with feeling of esteem and re spect, requesting the selectmen not to grant licenses for the sale of liquor for that municipal year. Before reading this old petition I wish to state that by tne treasurer’s report for 1833, I find that tiere were 8i licenses granted for the svle of liauor in this town that year, and that the town reoeived *181.75 by grant ing such licenses. It was neoessary even after granting these licenses to deny the privilege of purchase to some persons, hence a list vtas presented and is recorded in the selectmens.’ records of 34 habitual ly int mperote people who were sup posedly unable i o purchase liquor from these 33 licensed rumsellers in the year of grace 1838 in the respectable town of Westbrook. “For the municipal year of 1837, the one referred to in this petition in regard to money paid for support of poor, the total expenditures of the town were *7,393.09, about one-tenth of the amount expended today by out city for all pur poses. “Farts could be presented in regard to the ssle of liquors here in more recent yearp. To every one, however, who has candidly looked over the temperance con dition of our town even from those early days into the present, it is evident, tbat liquor has been sold here in gradually diminished quantities, until the sale ii decidedly limited and luuoh restricted in every way in this year of 1696. And I haven’t the least d„ubr but what there are many persons in this audience, not particularly aged ones at that, who oan bear witness to the laot unit tue nuiiioer of ‘habitually intemperate men’ in this town has very perceptibly decreased within their recollection. Which shows a decided gain in the temperance senti ment of the people? law ever ac complishes in fullest measure the ends at which it is aimed, anil to adequately en'oroe any law requires the moral sup port of the people That the prohibition law dors as much for the purpose of the suppression of the liquor traffic as any law, every fair-minded man will admit. But back of all Jaw is the intelligence and conscience of the people. Educate the young in every way, in temperance, manners and morals,and you have struck the key note of the finally successful effort to overthrow the liquor power.” The names of the remainder of the members of the city government were called, but Aldermen Knight and Mc Lellan were the only ones to respond. Alderman Knight stated that in his ox pierienee he had known a vast amount of evils to result from iutemperanoe, and that he favored all movements that ten dered toward its suppression. Alderman MoLellan did not like the report submitted by the seoretary. He thought the officers should be sure of their evidence and the validity of their warrants before instituting proceedings. Rev O. C. Phelan closed the remarks. He scored the officers of the league along the same line as Alderman MoLellan. He said they should be sure their guns were loaded before they fired upon the enemy. X fiCA. W11SS A. L.

FARRINGTON WILL, Important Questions Discussed in Su preme Court. Tile Bequest to tlie Eye and Ear Infirmary CSS—A Great Array of Counsel Who Take Part ill the Arguments. Thera was a preliminary hearing in the Farrington will ease Saturday berore Judge Sirorit, Hon. Orviliu D. Baker ol Augusta aud Clarence Halo, Esq., ol Portland, represented the heirs. Hon. Joseph \V. Symonds, the executors, Hon. Win. L. Putnam, and Hon. Thomas H. Haskell and Hon. Charles F. Libby re presented the Maine Eye aud Ear Infir mary. The plaintiffs claim that the institu tion is not capable of taking more than $100,000, its charter limit; that that sum was readied before the death of Mr. Far rington; that such being tho ease the Klim of $300,000 left by Mr. Farrington to the institution belongs to the estate, and is not to be administered under hit will, hut constitutes intestate property which belongs and must descond to the heirs at law. The usual injunctions were askod for. Judge Symonds 1 egan his argument at 10 o’clock and made a very thorough review of liis side of tile case. He said that for the purposes of the present pro ceedings the hill admitted the probate of the will, the appointment and quali fication of the executors, the affirmation ol the Supremo court of said probate and appointment, and that the executors have entered upon the discharge of their duties. The protate court of this county has therefore at this time complete jurisdic tion over the will, the estate and the par ties interested therein. Judge Symonds claimed that restrictions imposed by the charter of a corporation upon the amount of property it may hold cannot be taken advantage of collaterally by private per sons, hut only by a direct proceeding by tho state which created it. Moreover, the gift in this will to the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary is A GIFT IN TRUST for oharitable purposes and to a corpora tion which has been recognized by repeated resolves of tho legisla ture of the State of Maine as a public charity. The real beneficiaries are those who are enabled by tlie bounty of the testator to receive treatment at the in firmary,either free from charge or on fav orable terms which would otherwise be impossible. It is one of the common and familiar principles of equity that the court will not allow such a trust to fail by any defect in the character or capaoity of the trustee. All the purposes of this trust, the precise charitable intent which the testator had in mind, can just as well be served with an individual or another corporation appointed by the court for trustee iu place of the infir mary. Hon. C. F. Libby argued first the sev eral grounds presented in the demurrer tiled In the case, maintaining that the hill does not present any equitable ground for injunction as it does not seek the construction of the will, but rathei to enjoin administration, a matter with which the probate court is competent to deal, and which consequently makes the relief here suod for unnecessary. Boond, Mr. Libby argued that the neces sary parties are not before the ooiirt. If the amount bequeathed to the Eye and Ear Infirmary is to go as intestate estate, then the widow, there being no ohiid, is entitled to half that sum, this without reference to whether the dootrrine of c.v pres is applicable. It may well be oon tended.also that by. the codioil, Mr. Far rington only intended to revoke the be quest to the Maine General Hospital in ease his additional bequest to tbe Maine Eye an? Ear Infirmary became opera tive and for that reason the MAINE GENERAL HOSPITAL has such an interest iu the estate that a court of equity should require that cor poration to be made a party to the bill. Third, Mr. Libby contended, the bill itself presents no ground for equitable relief for tho reason that if the bequests to the infirmary are in excess of the amount limited by statute whioh it is entitled to hold, only the state can take advantage of this limitation whioh is not open to the heirs-at-law. This is the doctrine of the United States Supreme Court, the Massachusetts oourt, the Illi nois court and the Maryland court, as shown by decisions cited in the brief. The oouuW for the infirmary also con tended the intention of the testator as shown ny both the will and the oodioil was to givo the sums therein mentioned to the Maine Eye and Ear luflrmary, not for general purposes of the Institu tion, but for the charitable purposesjwith wiiiob he was well acquainted, aa it is well known that from its establishment Mr. Farrington was identified with the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary as one of its principal officers, the president of the board of trustees, and was well acquaint ed with its large and important chari table work. That the purposes of this infirmary falls within the definition of “charitable uses,” is well settled by the decided cases, whioh are not affected by the doctrine of perpetuities. In this oase, it is for the “treatment, free of charge, of poor porsons throughout the State, suffering from diseases of the eye and ear.” The oharity is definite, and even if the trustee who is to dispense the oharity ounnot take, the dootriue of cy pres applies, and the court will ap point a trustee to administer the trust. This doctrine is recognized in this state as well as generally throughout the United States and in the Federal courts. Mr. Baker and Mr. Hale in exhaustive arguments claimed that the statutory prohibition of the holding of more than $100,000 by the institution prevented its acceptance of the Farrington bequest. They also cited decisions in support of their contention that the points raised by the other side do not apply. Mr. Baker argued that corporations are the creations and creatures of the law, und have just such rights and pow ers as the law gives them, and nothing more. In this case it is settled. The law says that the corporation can hold property to tne value ot guuu.uuu nna that is the limit, beyond which it will not be allowed to go. Pie read the soo tion relied on and said that Judge Symonds entirely forgot to cite that. He argued that the executors ought not to object to the caso going to the Su premo Court. There is and there will be uo conlliot between the probate court and this, the Supreme Court of the state. He reviewed at great length the New York case on which he strongly relied and said that of the more than 50 cases oitcd by Judge Symonds not more than throe or four at the most touched on this very important point, never be fore this court and but seldom raised in any court. The case is one of great interest, not alone on aocount of the large sum ot money involved in it, but also beoause of the importance of the legal questions whloh it raises. GASOLINE EXPLODED. It Wrecked a Sleeping Car and Injured Several Persons. Pittsburg, Pa., February 15.—At 11.4c today an explosion of gasoline ooourred on the Pullman sleeping oar Windham, in the Pennsylvania railroad yards. Laura Foss and Sadie Conroy, car clean ers, and the car porter, Janies Richard, colored, were injured. Their injurioa consist of cuts and bruises about their heads, hauds and faces.

Two Men Badly Hurt—The Engine Com pletely Demolished. A terrible accident occurred ou the ex tension of the Rumford Falls Railway near Byron, Friday. From the particu lars reoeived here, it appears that a train on a branch road loaded with logs was going up a steep incline when the train parted and the rear car, heavily loaded, ran down the track at a tremendous rate of speed. The switobman saw tlie car coming and turned the switch, throwing the car on to the muin track. It happened that a wild engine was coming up the main track, ami as the logging car was seen approaching the wild engine plungod into it. The fireman jumped and escaped with severe bruises. The engine was completely demolished. It was turned into old iron in short order. The engin eer of the wild engine, Mr. Fournier, was stuok in his oab and terribly injured. His right arm was fearfully orushed, and he received a terrible blow over the eye. It is a wonder that his sukll was not fraotured. A log also pierced his right side, crushing the ribs into the lungs. The brakeman, named Belmont, had his right leg crushed. By the suggestion of physicians that went to tlie spot from Rumford Falls, the two men were brought to the Maine General hospital in this city yesterday noon. Here the arm of Fournier and the leg of Belmont were amputated. It was not expected that Fournier would sur vive, but that Belmont had a good chance for recovery. Bast night a reporter for the PRESS inquired at the Maine General hospital as to the condition of Fournier and Belmont and was told they were both doing well. Funeral of John V. Bradley. Tlie funeral services of the late John V. Brndley were held Saturday afternoon from his late residence on Mayo street. Rev.

There is some talk of getting up a pe tition to the government to appropriate $25,000 to blow out Willis Gut and make a ship ohanuel out of it. Certainly, suoh a plan would be of great value, not only to Harpswell and Phippsburg, but com merce in general. All kinds of vessels in rough weather could avail themselves of this route to Portland by passing through Willis Gut to this city. Deering Oaks. Park Commissioner Smith had the ice on the pond at the Oaks scraped Saturday so as to give the boys and girls some skating, and, if necessary, will employ the departm snt to flood the pond, so the children can have some skating vacation week.

The knew a good thing when they had it said the speaker, and the conventioi laughed aud applauded. Aud I am glsi to believe that my native city of Portlam proposes to do the same thing at least for four years. In pui suance of such good intention, it give me great pleasure to nominate as oandl date for Mayor of Portland, a man wh was reared among us, who has made hi fortune here, and who having made hi fortiine, has not hoarded it like th miser, but has devoted it largely to beat trfying our oity by some of the statelier buildings that adorn nur streets, one c which be has presented to tho oity as i free gift. The candidate I present if no untried man, for three years he ha devoted his whole heart and strength t the best good of our oity. He has intre duced new and improved methods c transacting the city’s business; he ha entered upon plans for Improving an beautifying our community and makin it a still more desirable place of resi dence, and has proved himself in al things a model Mayor. I desin the cit fortunate in being able to seoure bis set vices for another year, and I therefor with great pleasure nominate for Mayo of Portland, that tried and true publi servant, Hon. JamesP. Baxter. (Urea applause.) Hon. Charles F. Libby said he oam from the court room, where he bad bee engaged on a oase for the purpose c seconding the nomination of Mayor Bar ter. He did it because be believed it wa an honor to a oity like Portland to havi 'Mr. Baxter In tho Mayoralty chair. H knew Mr. Baxter’s versatility and oa paoity for usefulness. He stands alraos alone in his reputation for public spirit He has not kept his wealth to himse: till the time should arrive when h would have to part with it, but had pr40 Per month salary. ?A few energetic la Vflr dies and gentlemen wanted t o canvass. £5>°aVeT salary guaranteed.

A Des Moines woman who has been troubled with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy In a new way, and accordingly took a tablespoonfu! (four times the usual dose) of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy just before golug to bod. The next morning she found that her ooli had almost entirely disappeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teaspoonful at a time) and at night again took a tablespoonful before golug to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptom of the cold. ISince theu slio has, on sev eral occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over tier discovery of so quick a way of curing a coin.

Whenever in the future any reference is made by any one to the lack of public spirit In Portland, the history of the labor of the gentlemen who have solicit ed tho tunds for the opera house will be forever an answer that shall ridicule the idea. The fact is established beyond question that Portland is the most pub lie spirited town in Maine at least. The following is the result of the labor of the committee: Seventy-seven subscrip tions of $1000 eaoh thirteen of $500 each mid the balance, $7,000, is made up of ma ller sums. There are many of Port land’s most prominent citizens and ilrm’s that have nut been interviewed and there is no doubt that tho balanoe will be raised today, but in view of this uprising and generous subscription to the stock of the opera house and remem bering that three busy men have given their time for a week to this matter, and that they must now give their own busi-j ness a little attention, let every one who has not subscribed and who is willing to do so, notify by postal either Mr. Wright, Mr. Winslow or Mr. Coi, so that today may close the matter up, as the eity is certainly under great obliga tions to these gentlemen and in no other way can a generous public render so muoh assistance.
