or rather by those who keep an eye open,
that Congressman Bowen will be ousted

William Pitt Fcssenden, United State
Senator.


Mr.. Fessendep was q son of Hon.
Samuel Fessenden, and was born, Octo-
Der 16, 1906, at Boscawen, Merrimsc
County, New Hampshire. He graduated
at Bowdoin College in 1928; studied
law, and was admitted to the bar in
1877; opened an Office at Bridgeton,
Cumberland County, Maine, where he
practiced for two years, when he re.
moved to Portland. Mr.. Fessenden was
elected to the Legislature in 1881, and,
although the youngest member of that
body, he rose at once to distinction both
as legislator and a debnter. From 1882
to 1889. MIR. Fessenden devoted -himself
exclusively to his profession, in which he
very soon rose to the first rank, both as
q counsellor and advocate In 1889 he
was tho second time chosen to represent
Portland in the Legislature. In 1910 he
was elected to Congress, where he parti-
cipated in the current debates with
honor. He declined the nomination
which was rendered him in 1843, return
ing to his profession. In 1856 he
was again in the State Legislature, but
declined to serve after that time.
he was defeated for member of Con-
gress in 1850. In 1854, he was again in
the Legislature, by which body he was
chosen United States Senator, and in
1859 he was reelected for six years, dur
ing which term he was appointed by Mr..
Lincoln as successor to Chase. Secretary
of the Treasury, to accept which office
he resigned his Senatorship, and Mr..
Farrell was appointed to succeed him for
the une1pired term. In 1865, he was
again elected to the Senate, where he
distinguished himself by voting for the
acquittal of President johnson in the
impeachment trial, in the face of the
threats and blandishments of his party,
which failed to move him in the slightest
from what he regarded as the path of
duty.
Mr.. Fessenden was sixty-three years of
age, of commanding personal appear
ance, and was always considered one of
the finest looking men in the Senate.
His unspotted purity of character gave
him great weight in the deliberations of
the Senate, and his abilities made him
one!of the leaders of his party. =;

The death of General Rawlins natural
ly awakens more or less speculation in
regard to his successor Among the
prominent gentlemen talked of for the
office, the name most dwelt upon is that
of General Dodge, of Iowa, for eight
years a member of the House of Repre-
sentatives. and always prominent on the
Military Committees. The known de-
sire OF the President to avail himself Of
the services of Mr.. Wilson, Of Iowa,
who successively declined invitations to
accept the positions of Attorney General
and Secretary of State, has led to the
supposition that General Cox, the Sc
cretary of the Interior, might be trans
ferred to the War Bureau, and his pre-
sent department be given to MIR. Wilson.
These speculations, however, so far as
we know, rest on no official basis.

THE PACIFIC RAuRoAD.-Wh it
may become in the future the Pacific
Railroad at the present is great conve-
niehce, and compares favorably with the
very best roads of the Eastern States;
mean as for as comfortable cars, easy
travelling and substantial meals are con-
cerned. Your correspondent has re-
Gently travelled over the route from San
Francisco to Louisville and back, at q
cost of $40, in greenbacks. He speaks,
therefore, simply from the experience of
paid-for travel and not as n "dead
head" The sum mentioned above for
the round trip, of course, includes Sleep
lng-oar charges, meals, porterage and
omnibus tariffs, which are no more ami
mated than on other rail routes; and
while this is the case, they are certainly
no less moderate. The world moves the
same out West as it does in East. The
boot-biack, the omnibus runner, the
hotel-keeper, and the baggage porter
have religion concerning charges to
travellers everywhere alike. The fare
from Chicago to San Francisco has been
reduced, since came over, from Sl53
to $3.50; but I beg that none who may
read these few lines suppose that S13O
comprise all the money it requires for
the trip. AS Mrs. Scott is reported to
have once said to the General, "on the
contrary quite the reverse" Any one in
doubt has only to try it. But while the
road is good one perfectly agree with
Commissioner Isaac N. Morris, when
he says 'it is one of the most stupendous
monopolies the world has ever known-a
monopoly which wields more power and
has brought more politicians to its feet,
perhaps, than all other monopilies in
the United States. EXCHANGE

Isabella's Manifesto.

The Paris journals a few days back
published a manifesto purporting 10 be
addressed by Queen Isabella to the Span
ish people, but which was afierward de-
clared to be forgery. At present the
real document has made its appearance,
and is thus worded:
The Cortes illegally convoked, and for
the most part elected by violent and
fraudulent means, are about to assemble
on the invitation of four ambitious men,
who, having seduced the army and
called even criminals to their assistance,
succeeded in substituting, through the
terror they inspired, their cowardly and
disastrous tyranny for the constitution
they had nearly all sworn to defend, for
the religion, laws, usages, and customs
of the country which they reduced to an
archy, and are running day BY day.
The moment has arrived when you,
gentlemen, Senators aud deputies OF the
legitimate Cortes and the entire nation

scapaal--ought to hear my voice. The
beiress of Pelsgins and St. Ferdinand

without az least raising her voice in pro.
test. Be il known, then, TO al, that l

cal manner. declare ell that has been

The Inauguration Ball.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore american, writing on Sstur-
day last, says:
The Inauguration Ball Committee
have engaged the bands of the Marine
Corps, Annapolis Naval Academy and
the Twelfth and Eorty-fourth regiments,
numbering in all one hundred and
twenty pieces. The tickets OF admission
have Just been issued, the engravers
being Messrs Philip & Solomons, OF this
city. The one admitting ladies measures
seven by ten inches. Iu the center is
bust of Grant, laurel crowned, with his
motto in rays of light behind his head.
at the foot of the bnst are sprigs of csk
aud laurel, and American flags or each
side. On the right is peace, with her
palm branch and wings, strewing the
earth with blessings; returning com.
merce represented by ship under full
sail, and at her feet the plough and other
symbols of agriculture covering up the
effects of the strife, represented by de-
serted gun half lost in the growth; atthe
opposite side is Columbia, severe and
assured, with the cap of Liberty and the
horn of Plenty. In the distance the cap
itol arched by the bow of promise in
token of better times.
The committee have extended invita-
tions to oil the ministers of foreign
legations, who, it is expected, will attend
in court costume. These, with those
sent to the President and Vice-President
elect, and their families, are all the invi-
tations the committee intend to issue.
The demand for tickets is very great, and
the indications are an unusually large
and brilliant ssscmblage.
Mayor Bowen, of Washington, who is
Chairman of the committee for the sale
of tickets to the inauguration ball, has
informed colored inquirer that no per-
son of respectable character and good
standing will be denied admission, what
ever his color, so far as he (Mayor
Bowen) is concerned; but the question
never having come up before the com.
mittee he cannot decide for them.

New Orleaps. which has for SO many

New Orleans, which has for so many
years accustomed itself to consider the
suit of Mrs. Gaines sort of romance, is
about discovering it to be reality. and
very serious one at that. Mrs. Gaines
holds the key of the position, she has
passed the skirmish lines of the courts,
high and low, and is now in an attitude
to demand an unconditional surrender.
This ladys claims, with interest for
thirty four years, cover real estate TO the
amount Of more than two and one-half
millions, which sum she can recover from
the present possessors or from the city.
The municipality is liable as warrantor
of ali lands sold under the title before
1856; but it is claimed that the pur-
chasers of the Gaines property bought
under cloudy title, paying less than
sound price and accepting the risk. ln
this complicated state Of affairs, Mrs.
Gaines shows herself considerate con-
queror. She proposes 10 save the city
and all interested parties from expen-
sive and tedious litigation by executing
her deed for the whole tract in question,
resegving two squares, one for herself
end the other for an orphan asylum, If
the city will pay her Sl,600,000. Con-
sdering that this sum is nearly million
less than she can justly claim, the prop
osition appears fair and generous. The
city attorney and the committee of the
council, however, seem 10th to accept the
situation; but can they do better 2-Bos-

Tho Last Moments of Aaron Jones.

During the last illness Of the pugilist,
Aaron Jones, he stated that he had been
poisoned some twenty one weeks before,
and requested that his body should be
opened and examined after his DEATH
He had dropsy and hemorrhage, and his
feet, legs and stomach were very much
swollen. Two days before he died he had
smothering spells, and did not seem to
realize his condition until the day be
died. On Tuesday morning, as be was
sitting in his chair, he clasped Mr. Os-
trauder's hand and cried, oh, Jiml My
God I'm gomez He sent for Mrs. Os-
trander, and requested her to write to his
wife. Writing materials we're brought,
but it was some time before he could
speak. When asked for his wife's ad-
dress, he could scarcely get breath to
gasp, Charleston, South Carolina" the
place of her residence. Five minutes
later he was attacked with hemorrhage,
and fell from his chair dead, bis face to
the floor. His body was opened by sur
geons after his death. The liver was
found to be entirely eaten up, and the
lungs much diseased.

Tho Almie hty Dollar.

The New York Democrat chronicles
as follows the latest instance of Yankee
cruelty and greed of gain:
Five months since DR.. Ridley, of
Boston, amputated the leg of a fve-year
old son of his, who had beeu injured by
being run over by an omnibus. For this
damage to his son he collected $4,000
1t now turns out that the boys great and
next to the great toe were alone injured
and this not sufficient to require more
than two splints, bandages and little
care. But, to recover damages, the
Christian father gave his child chloro-
form, amputated the leg below the knee,
and recovered pay for the damages he
alone had caused. 1t is not long since
the inhuman monster was making
speeches against the Southern people for
whipping negro servants. What regu-
lar loyal Yankee will not do for the
almighty dollar God only knows.

Invited to His wifs's Wedding.

A day or two ago q letter directed to
the postmaster of this city, bearing the
signature, "Your Friend" was received
The letter was mailed at Winchenden,
Massachusetts, and was in the words fol-
lowing, to-wit:
"Mr. O. BID, your wife is soon to be
married. if you wish to come to her we'd
ding, come soon"
And then followed, on the reverse, the
following request:
"Please to hand this to BID if he can
be found in the place. He is machinist
by trade"
We do not know where to find BID
just now, but would say 60 him that the
least he could possibly do, under the cir
cumstsnces, would be to accept the
invitation and attend the nuptials. If
man won't accept an invitation to his own
wife's wedding, we'd like to know what
he would accept. According to our way
of thinking, it is the best thing he could
possibly do.-Bufalo Commercial

peued to be veritable cockney, with a

"hedge" for edge, aud the like. On ar
irving at the place, Miss Logan was indig-
nant at finding that no room had been

his voice: miss Logau's room is hell !

of the lady was at once restored; for she
knew that he referred to the room marked

Few women ever bore the perilous

more hearty happiness or more unss-

they should remain. If be was satisfied,
