Mr.. Conkling concluded his speech on the
Caldwell case.
Mr.. Schurz, abiding to portion of Mr..
Conkling's remarks, asked the Senator from
New York whether he had read in the Wash
ington Chronicle an article severely CRITICS.
ing his (SchurzD late speech, and saying it
was well known fact that this immaculate
reformer had received two hundred dollars
fee for each speech he made during the late
political campaign, and said he was little
surprised after the friendly discussion here
that the Senator should have made such on
allusion to him. lie characterized the story
as an absolute and unmitigated falsity. He
not only did dot ask pay, but never received
q single cert.
Mr.. Conkling inquired whether the Senator
meant the last or previous canvass.
Mr.. Schurz said that a year ago there were
similar charges against him in the New York
Times, ane he then pronounced them base
and unmitigated falsehoods. He would ask
the Senator from New York what he would
think of him had be repeated the rumor that
the Senator from New York had received
SIC, 900 from the Central Pacific railroad
company to represent its interests, and if he
had made allusion in such way as to point
to the Senator from New York, would he not
in such a case have raised question Of pro.
priety and decency.
Mr.. Conkling replied that he would deny
il and call the statement lie and authorize
the Senator from Missouri to say to the man
who made the statement that he was liar.

Mr. Wilson has recently added to the at
Effectiveness of hia spacious hall by introduce
ing elegant stage scenery for the accomInoda-
| ton Of exhibitions demanding this feature for
| effective success. There are four scenes
kitchen, parlor, street and lake-perfact in
| their variety and attractive in style. In one
corner of the kitchen hangs family clock,
| marking with precision the passing hours.
Near the center, suspended from peg in the
partition, is a ham, from which several nice
| slices appear to have been recently cut. The
window is partially boarded up, and to fill a
| missing pane Of glass an old hat is stuffed
| through the sash. a big broom, and other
kitchen interests are scattered about proms-
cuously; on the whole exhibiting faithfully a
kitchen of "ye olden time" of the poorer class.
The parlor scene is exquisitely neat and home
like, and the street scene q gem of its kind.
The landscape lake scene, which is painted
on the rear wall as permanent fixture, is
one of the finest Imaginable, beautiful in col
oring and perfect in perspective. The work
was executed by Mr.. William NJ. Hall, r
young and talented artist from Belfast. We
learn that company of resident amateur &C.
tors are now rehearsing for an exhibition in
this hall at an early day, when the new i'm
provements will be subjected to an inaugural
test-and they will not be found wanting.
The plan of the new Classical School build
ings in this city, is one of decided merit, and
when carried into execution will furnish ac-
commodations ample for present necessities.
The building committee are now receiving
proposals for erecting the buildings according
to the plans furnished. 1t is expected the
work will be pushed forward to completion
by September next, SO the buildings may be
occupied for the fall and winter terms Of the
school. A large brick structure will be pre-
yided as soon q, the interests Of the school
may demand.
Some forty or ffty stone cutters from the
quarries marched in procession to the city on
Wednesday, for the purpose of adjusting
some difficulties with regard TO boarding ar
engagements. We are not posted as to the
merits Of the case, but understand the affair
was settled to the general satisfaction of most
of the parties concerned.
1t will be seen by advertisement: in another

well and Augusta horse car has been changed
leaving Hallowell at S and 10 \. NJ, and

has become one of the permanent fixtures Of
the Kennebec Valley, and is doing a thriving
business.
The vote on Thursday, in public city

are concerned.

A'good wood pile at a farmers door when
the spring thawiugs begin, has always been
regarded as indisputable evidence of indus
try and prosperity. A person going through
the country to-day would have to find some
thing besides the time-honored wood pile on
which to base the evidences of prosperity.
Those farmers who got up their wood in the
early part Of the winter were truly fortunate,
but these are exceptional cases, as at the be-
ginning of winter other things are to be
thought about, of far more pressing import
ance than the next seasons wood. Aud so
the snow drift has taken the place Of the wood
pile in many farmers yard.
