The Senate was engaged to-day for four
and half hours on the treaty. The pros
pect is that vote will be arrived at by Tues
day or Wednesday.
Prominent Senators say the debate on the
pending treaty has been conducted with per-
feet fairness. and that none of their fellow
members have shown the least disposition to
delay. The treaty has been considered as in
Committee of the Whole, and was yesterday
reported to the Senate. Tomorrow several
amendments will be offered, but according to
what the Senator's are represented as saying
no alterations will be made.
The Executive Department is anxious that
Minister Schenck shall have in his possession
the ratified treaty previous to his departure
for London, on Wednesday next. OF its rat
ification there is now no doubt, there being
some misrepresentation in the minds of the
Senators, as to the course pursued in Great
Britain with reference to the treaty. One of
them applied for information to Earl de Gray
who said that treaties in that country are rat
flied by the crown, and that the ratification
cannot be violated or set set aside by Parlia-
ment before whom the treaty is laid for their
information. Therefore the treaty of Wash
ington, after having been ratified by the Sem
ate of this country and the Grown of Eng
land, even though Parliament should be OPP
posed to it, will have the full force and effect
intended by its terms.

WHEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM loses its tone
and vigor the whole body suffers in conse-
quence, but frequently some one organ suffers
more than the rest; hence the origin of Heart

lies in restoring the vital principle to the

the other exercises, what shall be said Of the
dinner? 1t was one that very many per-
sons are not privileged in partaking Of oftener
than once in hundred years! Think, with
a sharpened appetite and good digestion, of
all the good things edible, in season and out
of season--of fat turkey and stuffing seasoned
just right, of cold meats in endless variety
and all the "fxins," of pies and puddings,
of cream cakes and cakes better than cream
cakes, of fruit and confectionery, nuts and
raisins, hot tea and coffee colored by rich
Jersey milk, for the production of which
Winthrop farmers are famous,-think of all
these things, and more too, and then remem-
Der that these things were all prepared by
the ladies of Winthrop, and some idea may
be formed of the amount of labor required
and the skill exercised. 1t was truly
sumptuous repast. eve saw but one person
who couldn't do credit to it, and that was
Owen Whitehouse.)
After those who stood at the first table had
been supplied Marshal Wing gave an invita-
ton to all to come in and partake. Indeed
''the multitude was fed, and there were
many baskets full of wholesome fragments
left.

~Rev. David Thurston.
tMr. Jabez Bacon, upwards of 80 years OF
age and the oldest inhabitant now living in
Winthrop.
Ex-Gov. Chamberlain asked to be excused
from speaking, but the crowd called him out.
He said he had most gladly accepted the invi-
tation to be present, and thus testify to the
great interest he felt in the prosperity of the
town, and to witness the joyous poisoning
of the century plant. He came to listen and to
see-not as an instructor but a beholder; but
in the presence of such an occasion, cal,
culated to stir the best feelings of the
heart, he should be sorry indeed if he
had no words to utter. Memories had been
stirred that had quickened the spirit within
him. He was happy to witness all these tok-
ems of progress on the part of those who had
been doing vanguard duty in the march of
improvement. He alluded to the value ofou
municipalities, as contrasted with the systems
of government in other countries. Our towns
were organized for the common good. The
loss sustained by one is felt to be the loss of
all. In the organization of these towns, they
took hold of hands, and, heart to heart, ell
bow to elbow, they formed the skirmish line
of our civilization. These occasions are
worth having once in a century, if not oftener.
The rights of the towns are the roots of our
civil liberty, and should be carefully guarded.
We think of the hardships which our faith
ers endured but it is a noble thing to strug-
gle and to win. In those nations OF the earth
where the abundance of the earth pours
plenty at our feet, you find those who ale the
slaves of slaves, servle to themselves even.
But those who have grappled with nature and
struggled hard, have blessed the world and
won that mighty victory, the mastery of self.
The stern things in nature make Maine and
New England mighty. Let us grapple with
them, and not fly off to some place where we
think we can win victory without striking hard
blows. We must walk the round and climb
the heights, day by day, hour by hour, and
win the battle. This morning he had heard
the booming of the cannon, and the clear,
sharp tones of the church and school bell.
That told the whole story of the success of the
fathers. Thus it was that they wrought val
lent deeds of manhood The church and the
school taught them the value of the rights
which IT was their duty and their high privi-
lege to maintain.
Gov. Chamberlain gave quite fine ora
ton, although he had previously insisted that
he intended only to speak informally.
This closed the exercises at the stand, and
at about three o'clock the company marched
to the mammoth tent near the Congregational
church, under which the tables were spread
for
