The tanner of Galena" is this day to be SOL
emnly inducted into the office of President of
the United States. He whose name but eight
years ago was hardly known in the obscure
city of his residence will to-day be spoken of
and applaude1 in every civilized land of the
world, while in his own country his name will,
be on every lip. Wonderful as is the rapidity
with which he has risen from complete and
apparently hopeless obscurity 10 the proudest
eminence that man may by any possibility at
tain, our astonshment does not equal our
qualification 1t is a most satisfactory thing
to reflect that the practical workings of our
republican institutions is such as to bring men
of Grants character into position and power

to the first place in the government such men

dence that hereafter integrity, patriotism and
unselfsh devotion to the State constitute the
only safe path to preferment. The type of
CuardCtcI Vi WHICH AlnCOll anu Grant fur0lSn
examples is hereafter to be that which will re.
ceive the popular endorsement. Coming after
great civil war, with its demoralizing ten
dencies, this is peculiarly satisfactory. In
other times periods of similar disturbances
were sure to be followed by the accession to
power of unscrupulous and unsafe men, whose
ambition alene gave direction to their public
policy. With more ignorant corrupt peo-
pie ii would have been Butler and not Grant
who wonld have been inaugurated to-day.
One cannot help wondering, in view of the
history of the past four years, if the new Pres
ident will be able in any considerable degree
to fulfill the expectations Of his friends, who
are to day all the people of the United States.
More than superhuman wisdom is expected of
him and that, Of course, he does not possess.
But SO far as an honest man, with an eye sim

and with powers tried by circumstances of al
most unparalleled difficulty and Importance
can fulfill reasonable expectations, General
Grant will certainly do so. Long live Presi-

ENTERTAINMENTs.-We presume there is
hardly city of any size in the United States
which will not celebrate the Inauguration Of
President Grant by either public or private
ball. The Portland Mechanic Blues, whose
dances have been so successful the past winter
have, most appropriately, taken the matter in
hand and tonight City Hall will be crowded
with brilliant assembly. The list of manag-
ers is a very fine one. embracing leading men
of both political parties so that this affair will
as elsewhere, lose all partisan character. Ev-
erybody will go in for good time and every
body will have it, and the bouquets will have
faded andthe lights paled "before the glory of
the morn" ere the devotees of the dance will
have sought their homes.
At Lancaster Hall the Forest City Band
will also give an Inauguration Ball. Owing
to the patronage and encouragement of the
public this young organization has made long
strides in improvement the past season; their
sociables have been attended every SATURDAY.

be no exception to the rule. Both brass and

DEPARTURE OF AN OCEAN STEAMER.-The
M. s. s. "North American" Capt. Bake
well, sailed from this port for Liverpool at
IL o'clock, A. NJ, yesterday. She has re-
mained three days beyond her sailing time
awaiting the steamer special train with pas
ssngers and mails which left Montreal, Satur-
day morning. On Saturday this train got as
far as Brompton, the other side of Island
Pond. Sunday it reached Island Pond. At
10 A. M. Tuesday it arrived at Berlin Falls
and at P. M. was at Gilead. On reaching
Yarmouth the axle of the Montreal baggage
car broke and the train was detained till 10
P. M, arriving in this city about ten minutes
past one o'clock Wednesday morning. Four
days on the road from Montreal to Portland is
pretty hard experience and gives one an idea
of what banks of snow have been piled on the
track by this winters storms.

Letter from Lewiston.
LEWISTON. March 9. 126!


To the Editor of the Press:
Two of our young business men, Mr.. F. P.
Day and Mr.. T. M. varney, propose to con-
struct building for velocipede school in this
city. So you see that progress is the order of
the day in Androscoggin.
A BUSINESS PROJECT.
But what we all would most rejoice to see is
the erection of a new cotton mill the present
season. understood that no definite decision
for or against building has yet been reached; !;
but doubtless the matter will be determined
Immediately after the Inauguration of Grant
Ifanything is done, it will probably be upon
the Continental Mill. In order to complete
that there must be an addition Of some 10000
spindles, which would make the Continental
the largest mill in the city and one of the
largest in the world. 1t would have capaci-
ty of some $4,000 spindles, requiring 1000 horse
powers for driving the machinery
BAD NEWS FROM THE WOODS.
Owing to the great depth of snow which has
fallen in the woods, our sawmills will not se-
cure the amount of logs they anticipated few
weeks ago. They then expected to obtain
some eighteen or twenty million for this year,
but will now probably come several million
short. This is not good news for those who
contemplated building, and their number is
quite large.
ss PLEASANT EXCURSIONS.
There are frequent evening excursions from
here to Danville junction, where Clarke's
Dining Hall is brought into service for recre-
alton and refreshments. A party from the
Universalist Society in this city go down to-
highland another party from the Congregation
al Society in Auburn will go down on Thurs
day evening. Afeer supper come tableaux and
other kinds of amusements.

CAPITAL PUNIsHMEET.-To-d day the House
will probably reach a decisive vote on cap
ital punishment, and we hope Mr.. Reeds bill
will pass. If the session were to continue a,
month lorger we are quite sure it would, as
the friends of the abolition of the death penal
ty have been steadily gaining ground Their
opponents, though seeming to have the sup
port of the church, have failed to show peo-
pie claiming to be governed by the humane
spirit of the gospel of the Saviour, that the
gallows is either Christian or civilized in
stituuon. They have been able to prove, what
naroly any one has cared to dispute, that at
some 'lmes and in some places, the death PEN
atty has been properly resorted to for the pro-
tection oil society This is clearly shown by
our correspondent W." on the first page.

ART.-We yesterday met gentleman of
this city, who possesses very cultivated taste
in art matters, who had just returned from
trip to New York, where he had bean visiting
the studios of the different artists. Among
the many interesting details of what was going
on among the fraternity he spoke of the great
promise exhibited by Miss Mary Rolfe of this
city. Miss Rolfe is studying with Mrs. MUIR
ray, the celebrated artist in water. eolors, hay
ing Joined one Of her classes. The taking of
pupils is new thing with Mrs Murray, she
having steadfastly refused, until very lately, to
do SO. But so great an interest has been taken
in water-color painting recently, through the
formation of the Water Color Society and the
remarkable ability shown in Mrs. Murray's
works, that the pressure upon her to form a
class was too great to be resisted. and we are
happy to be able to say hat we have no doubt
that our country may at no far-distant day
boast as celebrated q list of painters In that
branch of art as it now possesses in oils.

THE WRECK OF THE HALA FRANK.-We
have already noted the abandonment of the
Boston Barque, Hala Frank, of Boston, on
Sunday. The following particulars we learn
from the Boston Journal:
The barque Hala Frank, of Boston, Capt
Merrill, which left Portland last Saturday on
a voyage to Buenos Ayres, sprung aleak on the
afternoon of the next day and was abandoned
fishing vessels we're close at hand, and one of
them, the schooner Grenada of Gloucester
took off all hands, including seven passengers,
two of whom were ladies, and proceeded for
Gloucester, Mass, where they arrived all well
on Monday. The other two fishing craft re-
mained by the barque, and putting portion
of their crews on board, took possession of the
Cape Ann, with the intention of taking her
into Gloucester, if possible. As the wind and
weather is quite favorable, and they being not
far distant from the land, it is considered quite
probable that they will succeed in bringing
her safe to port. The barque is partly freight
ed with lumber, which will give her greater
buoyancy, and render the undertaking easier
of accomplishment.
The following are the names of the passen-
gers who were taken from the barque: DR.. f.
A. Prince and wife, DIR. d. B. Webster, and
Alonzo Cartlan of Portland, Me-; E. o. Jack
son and wife and Frank Chapman of East
port, Me. They saved most of their baggage
Intelligence has since been received in this
city that the vessel was not abandoned. The
captain refused TO leaue the vessel. He employ
ed one of the three fishing vessels which came
alongside to take off the passengers, and thu
other two to tow the Hala Frank into port
