Cheering News from Mainc!!,
SYMPTOMS OF THE REVOLUTION


/ The election in Maine for Governor
members Of Congress, and members o
tho Legislature, took place OH Monday
last. The Boston Atlas, of yesterday
contains the following cheering nc,
counts ofthe progress Of the whig rcvo-
luton.
II MAINE ELEcTIoN:CuEERING News.
We are indebted to our friends ia York
aud Cumberland counties for returns OF
votes given tor Governor and members
Of Congress at The election which took
place on Monday, The result. so far
as we have heard, exceeds our highest
anticlpatlons. Albert Smith has lost his
election TO Congress in Cumberland
district by about 100, and WILLIAM
PlTr FEssENDEN, u gentleman and a
Wing OF the highest order OF talents, is
chosen to succeed him. In addition to
this joyous intelligence, we have the
pleasure to announce that the Wings
Of Cumberland have succeeded, for the
first time since the election OF Andrew
Jackson to the Presidency, in elcctng
their candidates for the State Senate,
which secures a WnIG MAJORITY in
that branch Of tho Legislature. The
defeat OF Albert Smith and the asccn-
dancy Of the Wings in the Senate is
glory enough. The chances are about
even for Wing majority in tho House
of Representatives, and also the cleo
ton OF Kent us Governor. York gives
about 500 malority for Fairfield as was
expected. Cumberland about go for
Kent. These two counties give 90
majority against Kent, which is just
about the same that they gave against
him in 1881, when he was elected.
The returns from Lincoln and Ken
nebec look well. There is a very hand
some gain for Kent, in the towns heard
from in these counties, compared with
the vote for 1888.
We make no prediction about the
result of the vote for Governor. If
Fairfield be reelected, it is by the skin
of his teeth, and it is rendered certain
Tint the Presidential vote for Maine
will be given to General Harrison in
November.
Mcssrs. Evans and Randall arc re-
elected to Congress by very large ma
jorities. Clifford, Loco, is reelected
in York by about 800.
The importance of Wing Senate
will be understood when we state that
"a U. S. Senator is to be chosen by the
Legislature. As each branch elects
separately no Locoioco can be elected.
The Senate consists Of % members,
and the following Wings are certainly
chosen-Cumberland 4--Lincoln A.

A QUEENS FAREWELL.
A Sketch from French History.

"a NNCt'H iioil IicHtn History.
An immense crowd was assembled before
the door of the Hotel of st. Paul 1t was
evening, and the light of a thousand torches
CLEANED upon a covered litter, and up
on the mingled arms of France and
England, embroidered upon the violet
cOlOred mantles of numerous retinue
of pages and men at arms. Several
of the latter, who wore the arms Of
England, were sitting on horseback
like so many statues, gazing mournful-
y upon the litter which they seemed
guarding. A deep and solemn silence
pervaded the whole crowd. When a
casual observer stopped to inquire the
meaning of this assemblage. The an
swer was invariably the same awe
are waiting for the widowed Queen of
England, Catharinc of Valois, who is
returning with the body of her hus-
band to his own merry England, there
to take up her abode for ever. Her
Majesty has come to bid a last fare
well to King Charles W., her father
and our master. May God have mercy
on us ALL"
His curiosity gratifcd, the idle in
quircr would wend his way, gazing
with equal Indifference upon the litter
which was waiting the pleasure of the
youthful widow, and upon the brili-
antly lighted windows of the palace,
in one room of which was assembled
group of heart-stricken mourners.
The room was small, overlooking the
Seine; and was lighted partly by n
small silver lamp suspended from the
ceiling, and partly by the pale and m
certain light of the moon, which was
in its wane. An elevated seat was
placed near one of the windows, and
beneath its heavy canopy, cmbroider-
ed with the lilies of France, stood two
female figures in the attitude of deep
afiliction. The glimmering light of
the lamp, and the silvcry rays of the
moon, while it softened every feature
of their faces, seemed to add deeper
tinge of melancholy to their whole ap-
pearance. AS they stood in the sha.
dow of the window they seemed about
the same age, and yet were they mot.

far-famed Isabella of Bavaria the 9TH
err, kneeling at her feet, was her
gentle daughter, Catharine of Valois,
the youthful widow of Henry v. of
England.
There was long pause Catharine
buried her face in her mothers lap,
while the queen leaned out of the open
window as if for air, while her fast
falling tears mingled with the rapid
and flowing Seine. Suddenly she bent
down her head till her lips touched
her daughters check, which she COW
cred with tears and kisses. Alas alas
Henry ", King of England, Regent
of France, sOn-in-law, and, by act Of
parliament, successor to Charles W.,
had Just expired at the castle of Vim
cennes, at the early age Of thirty.six
and in his grave, the grave ofthe con-
quCrOr of AgincOurt, were buried the
warm affections Of the gentle Cathar-
inc and the ambitious hopes Of her
more daring mother. Weary with
weeping, the youthful mourner at last
raised her head, and threw back the
raven ringIets that clustered round
her brow. She gazed upon the star
spangled armament, upon the flowing
Seine, till deep sobs again convulsed
her frame. Her mother, with her eyes
fixed upon the changing expression of
her child's face, now covered her fair
face with kisses, now bathed them
with a mothers tears.
And this was Isabella of Bavaria, in
whose breast glowed all a mothers
love, unsubducd by the stormy pas.

bane of the kingdom of France. Gull

and a mother betrayed in her affec-

others, and detested by all lulling
by sOphistical reasonings the remorse
which at times weighed heavily on her
heart; returning contempt for con-

yet one redeeming spot, one touch of
womanly feeling amid this whirlwind
of passions, and that was her intense,
devoted affection for her lovely and
gentle daughter. She loved and rev.
S'Cp hSi do iIiCi lONC anu revere virtue.
All her hopes were centred in Catha-
rne and to see her happily married,
the wife of the heroic Henry of Eng
land, had been the dearest wish of her
heart. But one crown for her daugh-
ter was not enough, she must be queen
too of France, and though crime
alone could secure the diadem of lilies
to Catharine, her ambitious parent did
not hesitate. The Dauphin must be
disinherited and, though he too was
lsabela's child, she needed it not. The
Danphin was disinherited, and his SIS
ter's bridegroom proclaimed as the
successor of the weak and imbecile
Charles vi. But Of all this Catherine
was guiltless. Wicked and reckless as
she was herself, Isabella had watched
over the purity, the unsuspecting inno-
cencc Other daughters character, with
all mothers vigilance and all moth
ers love. And when all her ambitious
projects were destroyed by the early
death of Henry, she felt as ifher dnugh-
ter were now her only tie on earth, her
only apology in the sight of heaven.
But here too her hopes were doomed
to be blasted.
