The proposed railroad from Bucksport to
Bangor is not a new scheme. The meeting at
the former place last Monday, had for its pre-
siding officer Col John N. Swasey, who in
1889, 30 years ago, was one Of the projectors Of
a road to Bangor. A charter was obtained al
that time, and the scheme was even carried sc
far that surveys were made. We find report
of this meeting in the Ellsworth American
which closes as follows: "On motion a COM
miltee of ten was appointed by the chair
whose duty it shall be to appoint a committee
of threeE as a business committee, to make all
the necessary preliminary arrangements to
build d road That sounds like business.

RAuRoAD AocIDENT-THE PRESIDENT IN
PERIL Just north of Annapolis junction,
"Wednesday night, the railroad train convey
ing President Grant and family, Secretary
Boutwell, and many other passengers, ran
over cow, in consequence of which the bag
gage and first two passenger cars were thrown
from the track and smashed. The statements
as to the injury to the passengers are very con-
fiictipg, butit appears that no one in the
Presidents car was injured, and it seems
probable that no one was killed, though many
were injured. sns 3slNi24'2 t-ia As@i y

s RAISING TEA IN AdERIcA.-The leading
point in Mr.. Greeley second essay on politi-

ZIONIST theory by adyerting to the possibility
that he alleges to exist of cultivating tea in
several States of the American Union, and
the advisability of doing so. Whether or not
his position is wen taken, he is unfortunate IN
the selection Of an Illustration, because IT gives
all the free trade hunorists an opportunity to
ridicule his theory in a very effective manner.

PREsENTATIoN.--A farewell social meeting
of the pastor Crew. E. G. Bolles) and congres
cation of the Congress Square lUniversalist
Church took place in the spacious and elegant
vestry last evening. After a couple Of hours
spent in social converse the society was called
to order by gentleman of the Parish, after
which Mr.. Charles p. Kimball, in behalf of
the society, presented beautiful painting by
H. B. Brown, Esq. to Mr.. and Mrs, Bolles in
a few brief but felicitous remarks. He dwelt
upon the bonds Of affection that had existed
SO long between pastor and people, and said
that this token had been chosen because it ex-
pressed Mr.. and Mrs. Bolles' we'll known love
for the fine arts, because it had also been paint
ed by one of Portland's gifted sons, who was
at the same time personal friend Of the recip-
tents. and because it represented spot where
some of their happiest moments had been
spent-Pride's Bridge; and that when they
were no longer with their old congregation it
might serve to recall many pleasant memories.
Mr.. Bolles remarked in reply, that it was
difficult for him on an occasion like the pres
ent to find the language to express his feelings.
That there were times when the readiest brain
and tongue will fail, and this was one of them.
That they might rest assured that, no matter
to what fields he might be called, he should
often find his thoughts turning hitherward,
and that he should always delight to grasp the
hand of one of his old Portland friends; that
he should haug that picture in a favorite place
on the wall of his new home to remind him of
the thoughtfulness of those who had so appre-
ciated his TASTE He closed with most touch
ing allusion to their future, which viii not bear
reporting.
The picture is one of Harry's best efforts,
and was procured at a cost of three hundred
dollars s. l913 b0

LATEST FROM CHTNA.--A cable despatch
which we print this morning, dated London,
the 18th, informs us Of a terrible struggle
which had taken place at Swatow between the
Chinese inhabitants and the crew Of the British
gunboat Grasshopper. The fight seems to
have been desperate and bloody. Which party
was to blame we are not told. The presump-
tion, however, is that, in spite Of Mr.. Bur.'u-
game and his gospel Of peace, the Chinese W Z
have to accept the new civilization at the can
mons mouth. Events point in that direction.
The Chinese, we fear. are a little too slow and
good deal too stubborn.
The New York herald., 1869-02-16

ALL WORDS AND No IDEAs.-We have re-
ceived an invitation TO subscribe for the
Basic Outline Of Universology,' whatever that
is. At first sight Of these big, far-fetched
words we thought they might be the name Of
some new Yankee invention, fresh quack
medicine or something TO give perpetual life !;
but on looking over the prospectus we found it
70 be the title Of q book which the author has
brought forth from the deep recesses OF thirty
years Of abstract contemplation. Only think
Of the ordeal Of reading thirty years abstrac-
tons OF any man! We have an impression
that this Is one Of those interminable and pro-
foundly metaphysical works which the moro
aud longer = person reads the more he be-
comes befogged and the ess he knows The
would-be philosophers and metaph ysicians Of
the present age have surprising faculty for
stringing together words without ideas. We
suspect the author Of this book is about as
accomplished in this respect as the rest. We
live In practical age-an age Of telegra lhs,
steam power and ideas--and these men Of
mere words are out Of time.
The New York herald., 1869-02-16

The report we published on Saturday of the
action of the republican and democratic Ger
mans upon the subject of revision of the
naturalization laws is suggestive. These an
tagonists in the political arena unite for the
purpose Of influencing Congress to adopt their
views, which are calmly but firmly expressed
as being: That the European immigration is Of
the utmost importance to the country, and
should be fostered in accordance with the in
terests of the country; that naturalization
should be facilitated in the liberal spirit of the
times that the term Of probation for citizen
ship should be shortened, and that the power
of the State courts to naturalize should not be
currence with all proper guards that may be
adopted to prevent Illegal or fraudulent natu-
ralization. These views are so far unobjection-
able; but that they are now presented by the
representative bodies Of the Germans of both
parties shows conclusively the truth Of what
beginning to be aware of the political influence
they might exert by their increasing numbers
and acknowledged intelligence. They seem TO
be resolved TO abandon the leadership of Pat
and strike for independence within the po-
ltical lines Of party. This movement, begun
here, viii not rest here, but is soon to extend
over the whole country. When the time for
a new formation of parties shall have ar
rived the increasing influence Of the German
clemens will have to be more largely taken into
account than ever heretofore
