publican ms and Democrats at Portland
The Figures OF tho Last Presidential
Election.
PORTLAND Me-, N0v 4, 1872
The only indications Of political life that have been
shown In this city since the September election
was tonight, when both parties made grand closing
demonstrations. The republicans occupied the
City Hal and held one OF the best meetings OF the
campaign. General James d. Fessenden presided,
and speeches were made by Hannibal Hamln
and Josiah H. Drummond. Before the meet
ing the republican campaign clubs OF Port
land, Ligonia and Ferry Village united IN o grand
parade, with music and fireworks.
The democrats held an outdoor meeting at Mar
ket square, which was fnely lighted. The demo
cratic campaign clubs OF this city and Cape Eliza
beth paraded, with band OF music and torches
The crowd rallied to the hau of the Greeley Zou-
aves, where speeches were made by number Of
local politicians.
The vote tomorrow is not expected to be very
heavy, horses being needed to get the lukewarm
and dilatory to the polls. The vote OF Portland for
President in 1858 was-Grant, 3272; Seymour ,905
Grants majority 1857, the largest republican ma
JOrity ever given except once, when Mr. Lynch was
q candidate Tor Congress.

Yesterday afternoon the busy tongue OF rumor

than that Of idle tongues. visit by a HERALD

after the reporter arryed Ysa told bf the report,
and ne treated It with the same contempt as the
gentlemen OF the Committee. In . conversation
with Mr.. Murphy as to the prospects Of the eec-
ti0n he spoke with the greatest possible confidence
or the election OF Mr.. Havemeyer. He said that he

candidates for the Mayoralty. He put Mr.. Have
meyers 1Ssys .n., vote At 600 and he dia not
would be- be much over over thirty 0auuussIsl thousand

aninquily as to how he expected the reform vote,
he said that at the last election the reform vote
was about forty Thousand and he believed that

Quence, as between the two men, Mr.. O'Bren was

In this country this year. The modern stove
represents the result of many experiments
and much scientific investigation. The old
fashioned stove was nothing but an iron box,
with no special principle designed to econo-
mize heat. Some little convenience was Sc
cured in cooking, but nothing more. But
during the past twenty-five years science has
turned its attention to the stove, and the
wide range of investigation into the nature Of
heat has been taken advantage Of to perfect
the instrument so important in household
economy. Now, the heat is to large ex-
tent imprisoned and made serviceable. The
saving of fuel, as compared with the early
stoves, is from a half to three-fourths, but
the best result has not been attained yet
The full economy of the stove is yet to be
wrought out. There is also an economy of
labor which is no small item to be passed to
the credit of stoves. The desideratum now,
Is cooking stove which shall economic fuel
and at the same time keep the fire to warm
the room during the night. There is a
difficulty, owing to the debris ofthe Goals used,
but we do not despair in time of seeing per-
feet stove. Science is working at the pro-
blem with will.

AneCdOte of Grant.

Mr. Hoar told an anecdote Of Grant in his
speech the other night which does not appear
in the published report, printed from his
manuscript. He remarked in introducing it
that he felt some hesitation for obvious rea-
sons in repeating the story, but there would
perhaps be no improperly in relating to his
friends and neighbors what had appeared to
him remarkable illustration of the modesty
and generosity of Grants character. The
anecdote is so fresh and interesting that we
take the liberty of reproducing it in our col
umns; we see no reason why it should be
left buried till some antiquarian, so years
hence it may be, digs it out from the musty
correspondence of somebody who happened
to be present with Mr.. Hoar on the occasion.
Mr.. Hoar related the story substantially as
follows:
81 had the honor a short time ago of din
ing at the home of a friend then and now
member of the Cabinet, in company with the
President. There were about twenty guests,
but they constituted, perhaps, the most dis
tinguished assemblage it has ever been or
ever will be my fortune to see. Several
members of the Cabinet, several Of the most
distinguished members of the State, the Chief
Justice of the United States, Generals Sher-
man and Sheridan, some officers of high rank
in the navy, two or three eminent men of
science, and perhaps the most famous poet of
the country, Mr.. James Russell Lowell, were
of the company. Commodore Alden re-
marked, half in jest, to a gentleman who
sat near him that there was nothing he dis
liked more than subordinate who always
Obeyed orders. what is that you were say
ing, Commodore? said President Grant
across the table. The Commodore repeated
what he had said. There is good deal of
truth in what you say said General Grant.
'One of the virtues of General Sheridan was
that he knew when to act without orders.
Just before the surrender of Lee, General
Sheridan captured some dispatches from
which he learned that Lee had ordered his
supplies to certain place. l was on the
other side of the river, where he could not
get communication from me till the next
morning. General Sheridan pushed on at
once without orders, got to the place Is
minutes before the rebels, and captured the
supplies. After the surrender was con-
Guided, the first thing General Lee asked me
for was rations for his men. / issued to them
the same provisions which Sheridan had cap
tured. Now, if Sheridan, as most men would
have done, had waited for orders from me,
Lee would have got off, l listened with
wonder to the generous modesty which be-
fore that brilliant company could remove one
of the prOudest laurels from his own brow to
place it on the brow Of Sheridan. '-Worcester

SUNSET.

Slow sinks the sun-god in his ocean grave,
Flushing the sonlbre clouds with light,
Scorching the crest of each ambitious wave,
In the vain vengeance of his falling might.
From the dark waters of the stagnant fen,
Far as the oozy marshland lies,
Like some fell serpents from their reedy den,
The curling wrcaths of shadowy mist up
rise.
And now, aiiiwart the suns face, redly-dark,
Some lines Of cloudy blacilness lie,
Like q brow tortulre-knit by woe, To mark
The dying monafeh's spcechlcss agony.
So he sinks slowly; and when, at the last,
Lost il The unknown regions OF his rest,
Still the fierce flames his dying t!iroes had
cast
Fade only slowly from The heavens
breast:-
Still clistcn-alt'lough al is gloom below
On the green summit of yon tree.
Like hand thrust from ont the waves to
show
Another victim of the si,rging sea.
And on those leaves the radicnce fingers
Till. with the last expiring ray,
Eve, with tender, trembling fingers,
Close the sad eyelids of the dying day.

whelming woes. No sooner had he imbrued
his hands in the blood of vengeance the
second time than he, too, fell under the sus-
picion of the violent men at that time guiding
the destinies Of Mexico. One morning the
suspected Earl was conducted to the frontiers
and mercifully exied from his native country.
Instant death was the threatened penalty of
setting foot on Mexican territory again. Es-
Gaping to the Sandwich Islands, he was
there for years "noble military attendant"
of kekuanoa, Governor of Oahu, till the cry
of "Gold!' startled with its echoes enter
prisng spirits from Yerba Buena to Timbuc-
too. Thither, too, went young Earl. VI
his Mexican friends he heard nothing, and of
course less, if possible, from Dona Luscinda;
but they in Mexico, however, knew of his
every movement. The old padre, through
means at his command, constantly commune
Gated with the priests in Honolulu and Yerba
Buena, and so was enabled to correspond
closely with both Madame Iturbide, the En-
press, and her ward, Dona Luscinda. Time
with its noiseless foot was stealing by,
robbing-
'Poor pensioners on the bounty of an hour"
when Dona Luscinda began to discover she
was no longer young; would he ever come
to claim her hand? He had promised to do
so !; he had even written to her to beware OF
anything that might be sad to his dlsadvan-
tage by the padre, her constant correspond
ent, and this was the last letter, dated years
before. The day came, at last, when the
padre, too, wrote her his last letter, announc-
ing the death of William Earl. Rest had
come, at last, to that turbulent soul, and his
ashes long reposed in the Yerba Buena GEM
etery, his grave undistinguished beyond a
small wooden cross, bearing the initials, "W.
E." Not ten years ago, the unforgOtten
ashes were solemnly transferred to Lone
mountain, and there lovingly deposited in a
sequestered vale far from the beaten track of
vulgar sight-seers. The sad inscription was
traced by the hand of the single mourner that
would still believe in the injustice of fate,
that had seemingly done its worst to ruin the
happiness of not only him under the lonely
sod, but also wrecked the fOrsaken one, who
could not forget the past, nor learn the ever
new truth that sail of life is not to live-all
of death is not to die" When the melan-
choly ceremony was at an end, who could
describe the silent agonies of that broken
heart, as the pale-faced mourner turned away
to seek her distant home, desolate and alone
with God and her own faltering heart? Sor-
row soon claimed her. l saw her name, not
long since, engraven upon the narrow house
of death. 1t was "LUsCINDA in pace"
