.4s& !: PARKER HOUSE, Nov. 10Th, 1886.
M, Editor Having arrived in Portland,
and beirg an entire stranger, and receiving a
very pressing invitation to make the Parker
House my home during my stay in your city, I
very readily complied with the invitation,
where 1 met the very gentlemanly landlord
who keeps the house, and found him well quail
ifed to entertain his guets. We therefore
concluded to make that our home for the pres
ent, and on learning that great preparations
were making there for the Thanksgiving din
ner, we concluded to note the guests on that
occasion. So, at the signal fol, dinner, we took
our stand in a conspicuous place, for observa-
ton, while the guests were taking their places
(for dinner). Among them we noticed Rev.
John Sullivan and Rev. d. r.. Carter (who
have been transferred from their former field
of labor to the diocese of Portland), Admiral
James McGuiness british Navy, Hon. A. L.
Brown Mass. Legislature), Col. J. j. Driscoll
(temporally hors du combat, from recent en-
gagement), Lieut.. William North, Capt. James
Kelley, Adjt Mark Reach, Commodore John
. Holland, Gen. John Sullivan; the distinguish
ed explorer Melvin Keniston, Count Thomas
Bradeen, George F. Baker, wholesale clothes
dealer, Brig. Gen. B. s. Waverley Dan. W ebster
LID; the Duchess Mary Caudly, the Abbess
Martha Mason, the actress Annie Atkins, Rev,
Joseph Russell, John Murry, A. NJ, Professor
Charles Reynolds, Gen. James Brown, Sec
Stephen Phinney, Admiral Charles Cove, Col.
John Cripps, Rear Admiral Mark Sullivan,
Hon. Augustus Moore MASS. Legislature, Hon.
James Storer, Gen. Charles Sawyer, Rt. Rev.
j. Fl. Sullivan, with twenty five other distin-
guished persons, who did ample justice to the
turkeys served up on that occasion. We no.
ticed the landlord, who appeared to be every
where present, and paying strict attention to
the wants Of his guests, who appeared to be
from every State in the Union, and every
Kingdom of the EARTH
After all had partaken plentifully Of the lux
uries prepared for them, and candid consul
tation of the merits of the same, it was unani-
mously decided by the guests that the dinner
served mp at the Parker House for the present
Thanksgiving, was the best dinner given in the
city. el-l s. sal.- tzslsa i...
We would observe that the Parker House is
strictly temperance house, and boarders are
accommodated with rooms and board at the
shortest notice.

ID NEW YORK, Nov. 80.
The scanty intelligence furnished through
the cable, of the rumored rising in Ireland, is
causing great dissatisfaction among the Feni-
an portion of our inhabitants. 1t is believed
the British Government has placed an embar-
go purposely on the cable, so that no news of
an eqcitable nature may be transmitted here
until the rebellion if at all commenced is
stamped out. -r r-I.ra
The headquarters of James Stephens is kept
in state of continual hustle and excitement
by the solid supporters of the c. I. f. R., many
of whom called on Col Kelley and Gen. Hal
pin to-day, and rendered contributions to a
considerable amount Concerts balls, and all
sorts of conceivable means are being used to
raise money, and there is no doubt the war
fund will be augmented at least fifty fold be-
fore the end of next week. Hundreds of
young fellows who have served with distinction
in the Union and Confederate armies, called
upon Colonel Kelley during the day and oger-
ed their seaviees in the coming struggle for
liberty. 80 "a.
