by a New York Tribune correspondent in q
long gray robe, something like surtout, reach
ing from the chin to the feet, closely buttoned,
and giving the impression of an inmate of a
medisval religious ihouse. OF about the mid
die height, he stands firm and erect His head
is not of unusual magnitude, his brow broad
rather than high, and his dark eye of brilliant
vivacity. His hair, to great degree retains
the color of youth. The expression of his face
indicates self-reliance and decision His voice
Is clear and animated, rising in conversation
to the highest notes, and with strong Scot
fish accent. Mr.. Carlyle descanted freely upon
the condition of America. GAS sure as the
Lord reigns," said he, "you are rushing down
to hell with desperate velocity, the scum of the
world has got possession of your country, and
nothing can save you from the devils clutches.
Not, perhaps" cried he, raising his voice to its
shrillest notes, "a hell burning with material
fire and birthstone, but the wide weltering fiery
chaos of corruption in high places, and the
misrule of the people. A fine Republic, that!
England follows in the train, and is even now

The ENcANPMENT OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.-
Yesterday being the last day that our citizens
would have an opportunity of witnessing the
encampment on Cushing's Island, it was very
generally taken advantage of, and the Ella and
Gazelle went down and returned loaded with
passengers. 1t was a splendid day and the stiff
breeze was welcome visitor at the camp
ground as it served to mitigate the intense heat
of the sun. We should judge there must have
been some $500 ladies and gentlemen on the
parade ground at the time of the review, and
from any of the numerous little eminences in
the vicinity the scene was charming one. In
the distance the spires and prominent buildings
of the city stood out in bold relief, so clear was
the atmosphere; the blue waters of the harbor
danced in the sunlight, displaying their white
caps under the influence of the wind; the white
canvas village was in front, from the centre of
which up rose the banner emblazoled with the
cross, the symbol of the order, while the level
green plain, with its background of dark pines,
presented moving panorama in the different
Communicates marching .hither and thither,
clad in their magnificent and peculiar uniforms,
and the groups of lady spectators in their ele-
CANT attire. ,41z l-l.-.
The review was a very fine one and took
place about 1-2P. M. At its conclusion the
Portland Band marched to headquarters, where
a number of ladies and gentlemen were assem-
bled, the guests of Grand Commander McClel-
Ian and staff, and played several of their choic-
est selections splendidly. We don't want to
overdo the thing, but the music of the band
improves every day, and is only another sign
of what results may be expected when you give
to your own. ivt.
The yacht fleet lay off the point where the
camp is pitched. with all their colors flying
and as they stood off for home, after the review
and dress parade saluted the Order with gun
after gun. We have omitted to mention that,
on the arrival of Commodore Churchill, the
band greeted him with music.
Tents will be struck to-day at - IL o'clock
and on returning to the city the battalion will

THh Check Lists. I'VE understand that the
check lists prepared for the coming election are
remarkable for the number of names of Repub-
hcan voters who are omitted. Well known
citizens who have lived here twenty years will
be surprised to learn that they have been coolly
DISTINGUISHED in this way. We feel it necessa-
ry, therefore, thus early in the campaign to
warn Republicans that no one is warranted in
presum!ng that his name will be on the check
list unless he attends to the matter personally

City Liquor Agency.

All persons who may have occasion to use
liquors of any kind for medicinal or mechani-
cal purposes, are informed that the City Agen-
cy is supplied with articles of excellent quail
ty, selected expressly for these purposes. No
liquors will be sold at the Agency except those
purchased of the State Agent, and they can be
relied on as pure and Of standard proof, as GER
titled in the certificates OF analysis from the
State Assayer. The price list has been revised,
and only sufficient profit will be charged to
meet current expenses. We think this mode
of conducting the agency cannot fail to receive
public approval. Per Order

The Gettysburg Reunion is not great sue
cess. Only about eighty persons participated
In the ceremony of stalking out the battlefield
Wednesday. But two Confederate officers
were present. Gen. Lees letter declining to
attend is very curt. He says: 81 believe, if
there, could not add anything material to the
information existing on the subject. 1 think
it wiser, moreover, not to keep open the sores
of war, but to follow the examples of those
nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks
of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feel
ings it engendered." 1t is creditable to Gen.
Lee, after all, that he desires to forget the
fields where the Confederacy was overthrow.
