THE GUESTS.
While the members of the associations

guests and their wives and daughters
were chatting, pomcnading on the beach,
or watching the steady stream of arrivals.
So great was the crowd, that four tables
had to DO set, and thus four hundred
persons were well accommodated. There
was no crowding, no rushing. no hurry
ing; the walters were careful and at
tenlive. and those who supped at eight
Jared as well as those who sat NJ the first
table, at five.
Elhotts Ocean House Band played
during the afternoon, and after supper

had now been increased by the arrivals.
among whom were many of the Maine
Association and several more of the in

The Washington Star has leader on
Maine Politics, in which il says that Hon.
Sidney Perham seems likely to walk over
the gubcrnatorial course without serious
opposition. The Star adds that Mr. Per-
ham is specially deserving o! the earnest
support Of the soldiers. as he was one OF
the hardest workers in behalf of the SOL
diers in hospital that Maine had. The
Star says that the Maine Senatorial con.
test is absorbing general attention, and
that the chances are strongly in favor OF
the re. election of Senator Morrill,, who
has proved himself one of the ablesl,
purest and most influential members of
the Senate. The Star says that Mcssrs.

Our Mexico correspondent writes that
'Mr. Samuel Budwell has confessed to
setting fire to the poor farm buildings
in Rum ford last week. He was arrested
Saturday by Deputy Jackson of DiSfield.
Mr.. Budwell, man Of very strong con-
stitution and one of those who cannot
we'll brook the name Of pauper, has for
long time been suffering from disease
in the head, which has wholly untitled
him for labor and which Gin the minds Of
many made him unaccountable for his
act, making him more subject for the
Insane Asylum than an inmate Of pris-
on. All admit that he should not be at
large"
Ere shets, floods, tornado and drought
all together, makes it discouraging times
for the farmers, and their injury is felt by
all classes. In Mexico, Roxbury and
Byron not one ton more than half crop

THE BEAVER.

A stroll along the banks OF the small
rivers revealed many fresh beaver tracks.
The beaver, when forced to leave his
house by the Spring freshets, which fill
it with water, seeks his living along the
banks of the small river, unit! the waters
subside. He is gregarious and playful
animal, fond of gymnastics for their own
sake When he finds steep, smooth
mud bank, he usually amuses himself BY
crawling up and then sliding off into the
water. repeating the process many times.
apparently enjoying the fun as much as
boys do coasting. He is nocturnal in his
habits, and very timid. Taking the small
canoe, Kurilla padded patiently up and
down. making as little noise as possible,
and scanning the water near the banks
for the beavers nose Thi. is the only
part visible, the rest being below the sur
face. A crack, followed by shout, told
me that my Scotch rifle had done its work,
and Knrilla soon appeared in triumph,
bearing small beaver. The flesh of
this animal is to most persons disagree
able. A slight odor and flavor which ac-
company it frequently produces nausea
with those unaccustomed to it, l never
ate the meat but the the paws and tail l
found very good. The former are COW
cred with black skin. with only hair
near the junction with the arm or leg
when thoroughly boiled they resemble
pigs feet. The tail is composed of mus
cular fibre containing large amount of
peculiarly : sweet fat in interstices. The
skin which covers the tail has the appear
ance of scales, but there are no real scales.
The skin readily peels of if scorched in
the fire, and the tail when boiled is de-
licious morsel. The muscles and inner
skin are reduced by boiling, to kind of
Jelly, and the whole is so rich that one
cannot eat much of it. The castoreum
which is used in medicine, is contained
in two glands that open near the tail
Their use is not clearly understood. but
is probably similar to that Of musk glands
in the musk rat aud the musk-deer. A
favorite amusement among the kutchin
Indians consist in taking the humerus in
the hands aud endeavoring to break it;
as it is very short and strong. this re-
quires considerable strength. After skin
ming the beaver. and stretching the skin
on a hoop of green willow, we pushed off.

DUBLIN, Thursday Night.-Andrew
Carr. convicted of numbering his para
mour, was executed this morning within
Richmond Bridewell. The drop allowed
was fourteen feet from the trap, and when
the bolt was withdrawn the jerk was so
great that the head was instantly served
from the body. and the rope recoiled with
force to the trap. At the inquest which
followed the Governor of the prison de-
posed that the Surgeon Of the prison was
responsible for the length of the rope
used. 1t was used against the Governors
own opinion.
A witness, after the drop fell. observ-
ed the recoil of the rope. and believing
some accident had occurred went and look
ed into the trap and saw the body lying
in the yard beneath decapitated. The
head was lying several feet from it, and
the blood was pouring in torrents from
the head and trunk. The surgeon, DIR.
Minchen, deposed that he feared that the
rope was fastend too tight around the
neck, and this gave greater force to the
fall. He would not attribute the accident
to the thinness of the rope. although the
head was as cleanly severed as if by knife,
but he rather attributed it to the tightness
of the fastenings. There was no disease
of the neck. The machinery was in per-
feet working order.
The chaplin deposed that the prisoner
complained of the tishtness of the rope.
saying, "Will you strangle or choke me
before my time ?" The jury returned a
verdict that the mishap was the result Of
accident.

recreation continued for six years. Then
at last. a great political event opened
suddenly the doors of his prison. The
Count had just scattered his pins. but he
would not leave his cell without taking
with him his little Instruments of his own
preservation from despair and madness.
He soon found them, for now the clear
bright light of day beamed in through
the doorway of his dungeon. As the
Count related this sad story to the
Countess she seized the pins with holy
eagerness. These crooked yellow brass
pins. which during six fearful years. had
been scattered aud gathered alternately.

SINGULAR ORNAMENT.

A brooch worn by the Countess Of
K has recently been the subject Of
conversation in an eminent company OF
polished nobility who are now exiles in
Paris. Encircled by twenty brillants
upon dark blue ground lapislazuli and
protected by a glass in front, may be
seen-whatl A portrait ? A lock Of
hair? No, neither the one nor the other,
but only four bent pins. which are
wrought together in form Of a stare.
The history of this singular ornament is
contained in the following communica-
ton: "4
The Count was some years ago,
in his own country, suspected Of being
too much inclined to politics. and was
consequently one night. without esamina-
ton or further inquiry torn from the bo-
som of his family by police officers, con-
veyed to fortress in distant part Of
the country. and thrown into damp,
dark dungeon. Days, weeks, aud months
passed away without his being brought
to trial The unhappy man saw himself
robbed of ever succor. In the stiffness
Of death and darkness of the grave. he
felt not only strength failing him. but
also his mind wandering. And unspeaka.
BILE anguish took hold upon him. He
who feared not to appear before his judg
es, now trembled before himself Con-
scious of his danger, he endeavored to
find something to relieve himself from
the double misery idleness and loneliness
and thus preserve him from terrible in
sanity.
Four pins. which accidently happen
ed to be in his coat. and fortunately es-
capped the notice Of his jailor. Those
were to be the means of deliverance to
his spirit. He threw the pins upon the
earth, which alone was the floor of his
gloomy dungeon. and then employed
himself in seeking for them in the dark
ness. When after tiresome search, be

Underneath the church yard mold;

Whom Queen Autumde Mowers blossom,
And she stoOps in pity down,
With a white flower for her bosom,
Taken from Der royal crown!

In the gra sses o'er our heap

When the Spring times glad smile linger
On tho meadows far and wide.
And she. drops with rosy fingers,
Bloom and leaf on every side,
Who will come with tender yearning.
To the graves of those they miss:
Who will sigh for our returning
To their presence and their kiss
Who will care.

Who will think of white hands lying
On still and silent breast,
Nevermore to dream Of signing.

But if rest and peace befall,
Will it matter if they piss us.
Or they miss us not at all.
