Pic" in his "reminiscences of former times
IN Portland, Published in the Star, is mistaken
as to the time when the "rookery boxes on
Fore street, between Widgerys and Central
Wharf, were demolished. They were destroyed
ON the same night that Tin Pot was de-
molished. The mob destroyed the buildings on
Fore street first, and then proceedea 70 oprlng
street, where they Quilted and tore down the
piece of ropewalk that had been converted into
tenements of i'll fame. Dennis house, corner
of Union Wharf and Fore street, was not
touehed. Subsequently the dance hall of Jack
Evans which was on Centre street, near Cobbs
Court, was destroyed by mob. An the dam
ages that were obtained amounted to about
one hundred dollars, and this was on an exc
cution against Abel Sampson. The owners of
the ouildings sued some others, but never OBJ
tanned judgments against them. ......-
One curious fact in relation to the trials of
these causes should be mentioned. One of our
citizens was sued for being concerned in des-
troying the buildings. The jury returned a.
verdict of notguilty. The time limited by law
for commencing such suits having then expir-
ed, the same citizen went on to the stand the
suit against another citizen for the same Of
fense, testified that the latter had nothing to
do with it, for he himself was there directin g
proceedings, and he placed the first hook in the
building! This rather astonished the jury,
who, but the day before had acquitted him,
and they also acquitted the man on trial.

ceeded to ballot, which resulted in their unan-
imous election.

INSULT TO SOLDIERS IN RICHMoND.-A Wash
ington dispatch of Tuesday saws:

A messenger arrived from Richmond last
evening to consult General Schofield regard
ing insults to the troops stationed around that
city. 1t appears that while a small body of
soldiers were marching through the town on
the way to camp OH Saturday, the inmates of a
private house occupied by prominent rebel
displayed the rebel flag from the windows and
greeted them with jeers and :aunts
General r. S. Granger, in command during
Schofield's absence, at first determined to ar
rest the whole party and occupy the house; but
rejecting that under the Presidents orders
and the decisions of the Supreme Court the
military authorities have no further power in
the South he decided to report the facts to Gen.
Schofield. The latter was greatly incensed and
left for Richmond at once. .t rut

Prussia and the Recent German Wa,


Mr.. Cages lecture before the Army and Ma
interesting and instructive lectures which have
been delivered in Portland this winter We
say this deliberately, remembering that Agas-
siz and Curtis have spoken here during the
season. Mr.. Gage traced the progress of Prns-
sia from the times of the Great Elector to the
present day, drawing with rapid but firm
hand miniature word-portraits of the expensive
Elector, the brutal but sagacious Frederick
William, the Great Frederick, and the later
sovereigns down to the present handsome,
weak, tyrannous King. and his prime minister,
Bismarck the Audacious The key to the
struggle of the last few years between Will
liam and his Parliaments, lies in Bismarck's
stubborn determination to put the Pmssian
army on footing to overrun Germany, and to
wrest the money for this purpose from the
Parliament, without revealing and thereby de-
featlng his own purpose. Par lament obsti-
nately refusing to part with its money without
seeing into what gulf it was to be flung, the
King for the last three years has taken it with
out leave, Parliament contemporary waved
aside, army scrupuloLsly equipped and drilled
OSSioh 'oA 1udiiCl iuuuStTiouSly SOugnL ana
found in contemplate Schleswig- Holstein. and
all ending in the sudden, sharp campaign
which eliminated at Sadowa, and settled the
fact, once for all, there is to be German ma
ton, with the important scholium that Prussia
is to be that nation.
SO far MIR. Gage does not deviate much from
the Interpretation of recent German history
common in this country. He proceeded how
ever to speak of Francis Joseph of Austria as
apious, God-fearing Emperor, fallen into great
straits and sore misfortunes, forced into this
ruinous war by the Vaccinations of this bold,
bad Bismarck. Out of evil comes good, how
ever. Out of the robber policy of Prussia
comes United Germany, in which no vain
William, no weak Crown Prince, no daring
Prime Minister can long check the develop
ment of the democratic spirit which claims
and rejoices in German nationality. Mr.
Gage concluded by prOnouncing very high
eulogium upon the many sided German char
acter.
1t is to be regretted that the audience though
respectfully numerous was not large DR.
Gordon, who presided, explained that the un-
fortunate coincidence of time with the Christ
ian Association lecture was not discovered un-
TIL it was too late to remedy it. I'll 1
