THE FENIAN MOVEMENT A FAILURE.
The Irish Republic, Il staunch and
consistent advocate of the independence
Of Ireland, and hitherto a sturdy sup
porter of the Fenian movement, now
says:
Ninety-iive Thousand dollars were
spent by O'Neil's ewing" during the
last year. AID has it brought the
smallest crumb of comfort to Ireland?
BY heaven, the Irish people of Ameri-
ca are the most heartless and uncharita-
bic race in the world. Unless "hum-
hugv gives letter of introduction to
"knavcry," their heats cannot be
touched.
Gen eral O'Neil moves through the
country with staff larger than the
King Of Dahomy, on the money wrung
from the poor people, living luxuriously
while true patriot men are starving in
our streets, true patriots pining in dun
geons, and women and children starv-
ing in Ireland. All, foolish people J!
Oh, heartless knaves!
We have been long aware that the
Fenian organization has had no head
but We should dislike to believe that it
had no heart Heartless and headless
Heaven defend us from this conviction.

How Some of Our Merchants have
Risen.
From the n. Y. Republic.

Az Az ~ l. AA[EAAoAAAsl
A few years ago a large drug store firm
in this city advertised for a boy. Next
day the store was thronged with appli-
cants, among them a queer looking little
fellow, accompanied by a woman who
proved to be his aunt, in lieu ola faith
less parent by whom he had been aban-
doned. LOOkinga at this little waif the mer-
chant promptly said: Cant take him /;
place all full; beside, he is so small" 81
know he is small, said the woman, 'but
be is willing and faithful" There was a
twinkle in the boys eyes which made
the merchant think again. y partner in
the firm volunteered to remark that 'he
did not see what they wanted of such n
boy-he was.not bigger than a pint of
cider" But after a consultation the boy
was set to work. y few days latter a call
was made upon the boys in the store to
stay all night. The prompt response of
the little fellow contrasted well with the
reluctance of the others. In the middle
of the night the merchant looked
in to see if all was right in the store and
presently discovered his youthful protege
busy scissoring labels. "What are YOU
doing?' said he; 81 did not tell you to
work nights" 81 know you did not tell
me so, but 1 thought that L mighta as well
be doing something" In the morning
the cashier got orders to double that
boys wages, for he is lCiIIiRg.' Only a
few weeks elapsed before a show
of wild beasts passed through the streets,
and very naturally all hands in the store
rushed to witness the spectacle. A thief
saw his opportunity, and entered at the
rear door to seize something, but found
himself firmly clutched by the diminu-
tive clerk aforesaid, and after a struggle
was captured. Not only "a a robbery
prevented, but valuable articles taken
from other stores recovered. When ask
ed by the merchant why he staid behind
to watch when all the others quit their
work, the reply was, "YOu told me never
to leave the store when the others were
absent, and 1 thought I'd stay" Orders
were Immediately given once more:
Double that boys wages; he is willing
and faithful" To-day that boy is getting
a salary of $500, and next January will
become a member of the firm.

4 ssHesier Vaushan'' Case fn Portland
PORTLAND, May 13, 1869
TO the Editor Of he Press:

TO the Editor of the Press;
Some weeks ago the people of New York
and other cities of the country were holding
meetings and circulating petitions for the par
don of one Hester Vaughan, convicted in
Philadelphia OF the crime of numbering her il
legitimate child Her previous good charac-
ter and the heartless cruelty by which she had
been deserted by tie author of her ruin toucb
ed the hearts of the good people of the whole
nation who read her story, and an almost uni-
versal cry went up for her pardon 1t was
most sad and touching case in all its details;
but here in our own city was enacted ON yes
terday another scene quite as sad and deserv-
ing of consideration. A young lady from Var
notwithstanding to respectable family and
of previous irreproachable characterized also
fallen a victim to the base villainy of se-
ducer, and covered with shame and remorse.
had given birth to child which soon died,
though, as the Judge states, there was nothing
to indicate any agency of hers in its DEATH
She was so sick and feeble as to require assist
ance in coming into the court room, and when
sentence was passed she was SO completely ex-
hausted and overcome that with a cry of pain
she swooned and was seized with convulsions.
The "mild' sentence of this poor girl, thus ru-
ined and disgraced, is mine months in the
county iaip'-a term of imprisonment she can
never live to serve out. Now, are not the peo-
pie of Portland as humane and christian as
the people of New York-and will they allow
that cry of pain wrung from the broken heart
of wretched creature, more sinned against
than SHINING, to go unheeded? In the name
of humanity, and for the good name of our
city, let us take some measures to have her re-
leased from still further degradation and re-
stored to those who will more tenderly care
for and smooth her way down to that dark
river of death to which she is inevitably and
swiftly bound.

POPULAR FAVOR is as tickle as ever One
favorite crowds another from the stage. There
a little while ago was Anna Dickinson, capti-
waiting all hearts, filling her purse with money
and the country with her fame. But now
comes Kate Field, with her thorough culture
her wit, her modest and charming manners
and puts poor Anna quite in the shade So
Boston DEGREES, at least, and New York, as
usual in such matters, obsequiously assents
But the good public, ON second thought, will
hardly be willing to give up Anna yet. She
has done much good service for one so young,
and brought to the battle against wrong,
strength of intellect and fiery zeal, almost MAX
ing compensation for the imperfect training OF
her powers. Kate, the severely proper, the
learned and the Boston-schooled, may occupy
her own niche, leaving Anna the bold, gener-
Ous and valiant, still to reign in her own do
man, just as Wendell Phillips has been useful
in his own way, while George William Curtis
has found ample scope for his more fastidious
and reserved methods of agitation.

THE TEMPERANCE CoMMITTEE.-The action
Of the State Executive Temperance commit
tee which met in this city on Wednesday was
as we anticipated it would be. The programme
framed by the Good Templars at Richmond
was disregarded, and instead of calling a con
vention to meet before the Republican conven-
tion at Bangor, the temperance men have con-
cluded to meet in this city on the 29th of June
five days after the Republican Convention
The meeting is to be for the purpose of con-
sultation only, it appears, and the feeling in
the committee is understood to have been ad-
verse to the formation of new party, the ma
iority being in favor of confining their efforts
to work within the existing party organiza-
tioDs. The final decision, however, is in the
hands of the Convention ITSELF and what is
done at that time will no doubt be somewhat
dependent upon the action of the Republicans
at Bangor.
