This distinguished soldier, after his brief yis
at Portland, sojourned for i time among the
White Mountains, and on the 10Th reached
Littleton, accompanied by his wife. In the
evening serenade was given them, and in
response to a call from the assembled people
the General came upon the balcony Of the
hotel and spoke us follows

thanks for your presence here tonight 1t has been

The Hancock County Railroad enterprise
is exciting great and growing interest in
that section. There is an evident determine
ton to have the advantages of communica-
ton by rail with the great railroad system of
the State. The most feasible plan, we Judge,
and the one likely to be adopted, is to run
from Ellsworth to Buckport and thence on the
bank of the river to Bangor-thus making
Bucksport the outlet for the county to steam
boat communication, and Bangor the point Of
connection with railroads west and north.
1t is believed that the road will be eventual
ly extended east from Ellsworth to the lire of
the State. Parties who are moving in the
matter have assurances that Bangor will
build a considerable portion of the road to
Bucksport.

At the last election in Texas, Throckmorton
was fairly and honestly chosen Governor, but
carpet Dagger was juggled into the place by
Congressional machinery. In consequence
of fight in the radical party in the State,
Throckmorton is pretty certain to be again
elected over both the opposing candidates.

A man with large amount of money about
him is nearly as safe beyond the limits OF
civilization as he is in the streets of New
York city. The most daring robberics and
murders are committed daily with impunity
The case of the robbery of Mr.. Simonson, that
occurred last week, is a sample. Mr.. S., who
is Paymaster of the Harlem Railroad was
going along Third Avenue, with bag con-
tanning $4,000, when he was knocked down,
beaten severely and his money wrenched
away. The robbers, three in number, cscap-
ed in a butchers cart that was driven up by a
confederate. Even in the cars of the street
railways passengers are robbed by cutthroats
in league with the conductors Society seems
to be resolved into its original elements, and
q mans only safety appears to consist in the
ready use of his own good weapons, as in the
plains and deserts of the far West. Society
there has realized Macauley's idea that the
refnements of civilization might bcget the
outrages of barharism, and the two co-exist
in the same community.

A new version of the difficulty between
Lord and Lady Byron is going the rounds OF
the press. 1t is related by an officer said to
have been born in Spain, and who was a
member of the Byron family, that Lord By
ron, when on visit to Spain, secretly mar
ried a Catholic lady, whom he deserted The
marriage was void under the existing laws
of England and Spain. From this marriage
a son was born The deserted lady's pride
would not allow her to prosecute a suit which
could have no result This fact having be-
come known to Lady Byron, was made the
ground of her abandonment and separation,
burying in her own bosom the secret which
would make her morally, if not legally his
paramount. Major Byron, by whom the story
is said to have been related to an officer late
ly serving on the staff of Gen. Fremont,
claimed to be the son referred to and to have
been present when Lord Byron's journal was
destroyed. However this may have been, it
is certain that he had many relies of the poet
and bore strong likeness to him. 1t is claim
ed that the poem to his son, published in some
editions of Byron's works, as well as his al
lusions to lady in Spain, are thus account
ed for. The story is a peculiar one, but the
editor of the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, by
whom it was given to the public, writes as
though he believed it. True or false, it
would make splendid magazine article, and
Harriet Beecher Stowe Or Ben. Butler could
make sensation over it, if they would

We might fill this paper with paragraphs
like these. Indeed we have never failed to

Elbe. Why, then, are we robbed of our
commerce? Why are we beaten even by
the miserable lazzaroni of Italy? The
hardy Scots and energetic Genocse might
perhaps be competitors, but they now drive
US from the seas and the cause is the taxing
policy of the Government, which is making
our commerce tributary to the third-class
States and Governments, of the Old World.
Take off all taxes from hip-building matcri-
ais, and all undue taxes from our commerce,
and we will guarantee that as fast and as

whereof we are speaking, and desire to see

Upon fearful summons
Let it not be afraid. The bird is chiv-
alrous one and well behaved, with no inten-
of hurting anything except the feelings of
radicalism. The Free Press says
There would be just about as much sense in our
wheeling out our big gun to fire salute over the
edfeat of the democratic party in Waldo County,
which has been buried so long that it may well
despair of resurrection.
Has the Free Press consulted the returns
to see how badly we are defeated in Waldo /?
Last year the radical majority was 11SS-this
year it is 112! Don't that look like coming
resurrection? In Knox on the contrary, the
Democratic majority is almost double that of
last year. If the Press brings out its big
cannon for either of these results, it will be
firing minute guns over its own grave
We are sorry the Free Press, in copying the
epitaph, should have left out the hint to
