The Successor Of Mr.. Fessen.
den ins the Senate.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 4, i864-Psrhaps brief
sketch of Hon. Nathan A. Fsrwell, the Dew
Senator from Maine in the national legisla-
ture, may not be out Of place.
Mr.. Farwell did not enter political life
until late. He has been for many years
identified with the ship building and ship
ping interests, in the section Of the stats
where he resides, and in that business has
accumulated quite large property. Ny
tirst remembrance of him in political cir
cles is 1860, when he came to Augusta a. Q
representative, or citizen attorney, fer the
interests Of Rocklsnd in favor of the pro-
posed county Of Knox. L 80
The new county was formed, and the
people Of Rocklsnd the following year sent
MIR. Farwell to Legislature. In 1860 he
served in the Senate from Knox county, and
being re elected, tho following ,year was
made its President. lie was again chosen
Representative from Rockland, and served
on the floor of the House last wintsr.--
Last month his constituents made him their
Representative again so that he would, il
the Government had not advanced him to
higher seat, have served 1--we successive
year Ia the Legislature.
Tie fading Characteristic in Mr.. Far
We" miLd is, perhaps, his strong common
sense have heard the remark from sew.
eral members of former Legislatures, that
Mr.. Farwelfs Judgment, his PERCEPTION Of
the rights and wrongs Of q case, were re-
markable. He sees two sides to ques
ton. and is apt in speaking to state the ar.
guments on both sides, as q judge would do
in charge to ajury. He weighs the con-
sderation advanced, pro and con, and then,
with great insight and foresight, comes to
decision.
In the duties of the chair, as President
of the Senate in 1862, he was supported by
this equality of mind. He would not be
called even in our Legislature, we'll in-
formed parliamentarian. In his place upon
the floor he never had recourse to the
shrewd tactical tricks which are the prin
cipal capital OF some legislators. But the
merits of the cases as they arose were easily
comprehended by his plain, blunt conn
mon sense, and he presided with n, little
credit.
Another hardly less important character
istic in bis frankness. doubt if Mr.. Far
! we'll could or would if he could, conceal bis
sentiments. He is always ready to express
his opinion of men or measures In add.
ton he is kind, affable, generous And sym.
pathetic .... -,
In personal appearance Senator Farwell
is large, stout, and broad shouldered ; with
q very large head, somewhat coarse features,
and coarse black hair. A photograph Of
him would pass for very good likeness OF
George Law. In speaking he uses plain,
ineligible language, aiming rather at
making himself understood than at dis
play Of oraortic Al power.

Saturday Night.

Once more the sun goes down into the
western ocean of time to usher In Sab
bath morning; Again has the wheel Of the
week rolled around. crushing the life out
of many strong man and loving WOMAN
the heart out of many true love, who,
alone, uncared for, and neglected, is left to
wander over the shoals and broken rocks
on times shore, to die broken hearted and
no loving hand to smoothe the hair and to
drive the death>damp therefrom. Saturday
night! Blessed night of all its brethren
Priced night of all the week-loved corpse
of all the six which have been lain under
the place of midnight. Night of respite
from labor and communion with the heart
Night of repose for the mind and the re-
suscitarion OF driven energies. Who Of
our readers does not Thank God for this
boon2 And how will it be spent2 We can
lock into its hidden leaves and see, as an
album, tull many picture.
Happy fresides and home circles, where
sit the loved snes of mature years, cares
sing each other with added love, and toying
with tho innocent gifts of God. How bles
sed is this night to such, and how fervent
should be the praoer of thanks for his merr
cies. And there are rooms where lovers
cit lip to lip-hand in hand-palm to palm
eye to eye-heart to heart-silently
threading the labyrinths of the weird future
which allures far more than it repays. And
there are deserted housewives alone,
weary virgils keeping-widows mourning,
for their hearts lie on Southern fields Of
death where even love is gildsd-
cottages and cabins where affection light.

The plot to release the rebel prisoners as
Camp Douglas, near Chicago, is being in
vestigated in that city. The commandaut
of the post, Col. SWEET, completely exone
rates the Democratic party from any com
plicity In the plot. and the Chicago Times
thus sums up the whole affair:
sThat there were seceesionists from abroad
who had pretty thoroughly organized plan
for an attack on Camp Douglas that there
was q secret society called the {. Sons a
Liberty" which at first had no evil d,
signs; that the secesrionists insinua'cd
themselves into the order; that after u
while some of the members became iDocu
lated with the desire to make raid
that they were principally men who had a
great deal to gain and to nothing to lose,
who were in fact. for the most part, hot
headed adventures some of them claimed
to be dem ocrats, and that finally, unprinci
pied men and journals, seized upon the
latter fact in the hope that they might cast
a stigma upon the democratic party. That
is the whole thing stated as briefly as is
possible. Fortunately the designs of fanat.
les, almost as despicable as those of the con-
spirators, were SO transparent that they
could not be misunderstood and now the
man who ought and doubtless does knowla
much about the affair as anybody else, has
added the testimony of his belief to the
self>evident truth that the democratic par
ty is in no wise responsible. No one will
question his loyalty, his devotion to the
government or the sincerity of bis state
ments. ~

Bear Hunting by - Woman.

One day Lapp woman went out to hsh
on lake, accompanied by her son, VINO
was fourteen years old. When they had
caught sufficient supply, they landed ona
part of the shore which was tbickiy over
grown with fir and underwood. Presently
the wonan's quick eye fell on large heap
of boughs, reeds, moss, &c, and on nearer
inspection she found large hole under.
meath the mass of rubbish, and ielt con.
vnced it was the entrance to bears "Hi,"
or cave. She was q courageous and reso-
Lutte little body, and, nothing daunted by
the discovery, nor rejecting that she was
alone, FASTENED back to the boat to fetch
her ak and rifle, (for Lapp woman gen
orally goes armed, and is usually an expert
shot) Now, her sisters in other parts OF
the civilized world would most probably
have been frightened out Of their wits, and
have beat a speedy retreat under such clr>
cumstances. Her only anxiety was lestthe
bear should get off,
On returning she proceeded to cut down
small fir sapling, which she pointed at one
end, and gave it to the boy to braddle about
in the hole to asc nrtaiu whether it was oc-
cupied or not, while she stood with uplifted
axe little one side. No sooner was the
pole inserted than out came the head OF
monstrous she bear, and down came the axe
on her skull with such force that it re-
manned sticking fast 10 the wound, and ac>
companicd Bruin as she retreated to the
farthest end Of the cave. Time being up
for round number two and her opponent
not putting in an appearance, she deter
mined to try the effect Of shot. No sooner
had she fred down the hole than out bolted
a cub about the size of sheep dog, when
her son cleverly managed to catch hold Of
it by the hind leg But it was too strong
for the little fellow, and, after dragging
him for some distance, managed u get
away.
Determined, however, not to lose him,
mother and son went 10 pursuit, and speed
lily overlook the animal, which had taken
to the water. A few well administered
taps with the end OF the oar soon rendered
him hors du combat.
Having secured him, the courageou, liz.
IT,. woman went back again to the "Hi,"
and give it another stirring up. But oil
was still. Next she fired a second shot,
but nothing moved. Concluding that the
bear must be dead, or else escaped during
her absence, she determined to dig her
out a WORK Of no small labor. Success
however, attended her exertions, for at
length she found the bear lying quite dead,
with the axe still sticking in her cleft skull,
and, by her side, another cub as big as tho
first. with bullet wound through the neck,
also dead. No mean achievement for, .
woman and her boy.-AN the Year Round.
