A GIANrEss APPEARS ON THE SCENE.
The fat men of Maine held convention
at Lewiston, on the 21st. The corres-
pondent Of the Portland Argus says:
Near the hour.to adjournment, the con-
vention was startled and amazed by the
entrance of woman who looked down up
on them all, and the little fellows who only
weighed couple of hundred or so looked
badly discouraged. The lady was Miss
Emma Hardy, Of Wilton, the Maine giant
ess. This woman stands six feet eight
inches high, aud weighs 375 pounds, which
was taller and heavier than any man in
the crowd. She looked as though she
might eLjoy her rights if she wanted to -
The fat men, however soon recovered their
wonted spirits, but it was rather rough on
them to have woman step in and carry
off the honors

LAST MOMENTS OF EX-SECRETARY OF
WAR STANToN.-He sat propped up by
pillows in the chamber where he died, his
checks hol ow, his hands attenuated. his
eyes lusterless, and there was nothing to
indicate the mighty nature OF the m N but
the broad intellectual sphere which doomed
above. The day was tempestuous and
gloomy, and the wind h0wled Violently
around the angles of the building. After
some conversation we noticed this by say
ing that doubtless such dismal noises HAD
the effect of making him feel unusually
sad. "Oh, no. he answered, mot at a J.;
on the contrary | derive IA peculiar pleas

reviving light, and his voice strene ethened
into joyful volume-''but the boys are all

the exquisite tenderness with which this
was said, or to explain the emotion which
we felt when, as he concluded, we saw a
tear break from each nd aud quietly roll
down his cheeks We had witnessed the
same exhib ton from Mr.. Stanton once
before. when he was in the full Of his
health, at the War Office, and it occurred
in the midst of an impassioned description
Of the barqarities which had been perpe,

can easily imagine what antics such a man
would cut in that angus, body" Let us
for moment. draw aside the curtain from
the darkened windows Of the future, and
witness not improbable performance OF
this rising statesman when the dream of
his youth is fulfilled:
I he question before the Senate is the
location Of lighthouse at Santa Cruz
Senator Lewis has the floor He speaks
OF the fitness of the proposed location in
glowing words: Not merely in time of
peace will the light from that friendly
beacon warn the richly freighted barks
from oil the rocks, but when wars die d
alarums resound through the land when
the Cinnamon in California rebel and their
brethren from over the sea come to their
aid when iron-clads are sent from the
ports of Asia to desolate our commerce,
then will his lighthouse at Santa Cruz
serve to show the way Of safety to our
storm driven and cooliefrightened marin
ers. Yes Mr. President, this lighthouse,
at the particular place designated, is indls-
pensably necessary: the interests Of com
merce demand t; the safety OF the Repub
lie demands it; the'-Ju-t then his
colleague, VIM. NJ Gwin, Jr., pulls the
speak, RI coat tail, and whispers in his
ear; That id KoJser lives at Santa
Cruz Don't you remember how the fellow
rdiculed your pretenslons to the Senator

sides. The next day he rises to "ques
ton OF privilege, and addresses the re-
assembled wisd IN as 70 lows:
| must confess was IN favor of select
ing Santa Cruz as the location for
lighthouse, until | ascertained that one
Kooser lives III that town, and publishes a
paper there which has most numerically
abused me. Now | am opposed to it =
