ventured away from home. The experiences
of Martin Chuzzlewit, the younger, in the
reception business, depicted by Dickens with
such delightful humor, could hardly be re-
peated now in America, unless it were IN
some very new portion of the country.
There is no good reason why distinguished

Journey of business or pleasure undisturoed
and the Presidents visit to Maine at this
time is purely private journey. He will be
entertained in Augusta by Speaker Blaine,
whose guest he is, and will make some plea
ant excursions along our coast and among
our hills. 1t is to be hoped that he will be
permitted to make his passage from place to
place in peace as he desires. His visit has
no possible public significance and surely our
Chief Magistrat should have the privilege
of occasionally travelling as private citizen.

New England Conference, preached sermon
in the tabernacle, by which he attempted to
prove that specification is instantaneously re-
ceived, and not as many believe a process -
From preacher, occupying the position he
does, the sermon. compared in point of ability
unfavorably with those that have been preach
ed on the grounds during the continuance of
these meetings. Last year the clergy of this
State generally remained in the back ground
and allowed with few exceptions, the repre-
sentatives of the National Society to occupy the
time. But it is a fact, patent to those who
have attended the meetings this year, that the
ability of our own preachers compares favora-
bly, with any who preached last year, if we ex-
cept that man of such wonderful personal mag
nitism, Mr. Inskip. Leaving him out of the
own preachers dozen men, any one of whom
may be ranked as ADLER in every sense than any
member of the national committee
To-day Mcdonald created no enthusiasm, and
called forth no applause. Indeed, the crti-
cisms heard upon all sides upon his sermon
would be hardly relished by himself should he
hear them.
This afternoon Rev, DR.. Steele of Boston de-
livered an able sermon from Psalms 119: g.
His subject was obedience to Gods commands
Mr.. Steele is man of medium height, slim
built, with dark hair, a high, broad-forehead
side whiskers cut close, sprinkled with gray, a
quick manner and gentlemanly appearance
He possesses good clear voice, well handled
One would judge him to be thinker in the
synthetic school. His reasonings are clear
pointed and convincing. He is evidently a
man of fine scholarship and q strong thinker.
At the close of the forenoon meeting COL
lection was taken up amounting to S383.49 to-
wards paying off the debt on the ground. At
joint business meeting of the State and local
committee to-day, it was decided to vest the
| control of the grounds in tho State committee
for the future. This action results from dis
satisfaction caused by closing the gates on Sun
day, some of the local committee favoring
their being kept open on that day. 1t is un-
derstood that the State committee decidedly

Among the things classed as sin and strongly
denounced at these meetings is tobacco. From
the growing tendency of the clergy of this de-
nomination to preach against the use of the
fragrant weed, CHASING it among the grosser

special action will be taken by this church

Tomorrow the meetings close. Already

The management of the fire department
on occasion of the Portland Company fire,
ana that OF Saturday, is the subject of some
criticism, and little discussion may be whole
some. About the personal exertions of the
members Of the department, but one opinion
Is possible-that they did everything within
the bounds OF human power to restrain the
hames ana save property. 1t is alleged, how
ever, that sufficient use was not made of the
MIGRANTS, that the steamers were attached to
Them when water was readily attainable else
where, and that the streams from the bv-
drants might have been used as additional
and supplementary to the streams from the
steamers, instead of being exhausted to sup
ply water for them. 1t is said that in case Of
both fires, sea-water-much better for extin.
gushing fire than fresh-might have been cas-
lily obtained, while streams from the hvdrants
might have been directly use and thus very
much greater volume of water applied to the
flames. 1t is also suggested that teams should
be absolutely prohibited from driving over the
hose, as much of the bursting is attributable
to this cause.
we make these suggestions in no censori-
Gus spirit but merely to call attention to an
opinion which prevails among some of our
cluzens' with view to the future avoidance
OF sacn mistakes. 1t is very easy to indulge
IN criticism after the event and if 10 fair 70 90
sumo that the chief engineer conscientiou.,v
did the best be could in the heat rush ~
furry of the gr at fires.
The lessons of the fires should be wei, s.na
led and no error should be repeated. In hi.
connection it may be well to renew our prom
osition that the fire department be enlarged
by the addition of boat engine similar to
those which have done so good service at Bos-
ton and New York. The large masses of val
liable property on and about the wharyes and
along Commercial street, demand this special
protection. An ensine of this kind will throw
four powerful streams which can be RAPIDLY
applied at any point of our whole waterfront.
The owners of property in that part of the city
should interest themselves in this very import
ant matter.

De MOrtuis Nil Nisi Bonum,

7 lie convention of yesterday was not cal
cul tied to arouse rancor or partisan opposi.
tiol; the feeling of the Republican spectator,
on the contrary, was tinged with sadness at
Sc, ng wreck so hopelcssly dilapidated,
w Itch gentle sensation could be INDUCED in
freely without apprehension of danger to the
community from the success of any possible
struggle 10 rehabilitate the old hulk with
view to fresh piratical excursions. The
power-the vitality the capacity for harm
OF the old organization are gone forever;
and the sturdy old hunkers who have stood
up to the work from habit-from prejudices-
from love of an historic name now come 10
the scratch, not smiling as of yore, but sad
and hopeless. They go through the customary
m ,tions like automatons and have not even
heartlness enough to make the time.worn
claim OF possibility of success in the pres
ent. or of hope for the future.
Hitherto, for ten years, lhe Democracy
have resembled the traditional Irishman's
turtle, who, though dead, was not conscious
OF 1t; now they seem painfully aware of their
condition, and profoundly conscious that any
movement on their part is purely and simply
galvanic. To the younger men, with futures
before them, the situation is specially disa-
greeable, and vigorous effort was made by
them to finally break up the organization,
declare the party dissolved, make no nominal
ton, and wait for something to turn up.
Prior to the convention, these aspiring youth,
with some elderly confederates, were quite
hopeful of success, and announced openly
that such action would be taken; but when
the sold guard" as the reactionsts delight to
call themselves, appeared on the scene and
marched into the hall with the determination
TO die in harness imprinted ON every Inca
ment of their hard drawn features, the hopes
of the young "reds' faded, dew-like, away
And when f. 0. j. Smith, the chosen apos-
tie of the new faith, was unceremoniously
hooted down and not even allowed hear
ing, the last faint hope ceased and mingled
disgust and dependency took full possession
of the baffled and disconsolate agitators, who
had presumed to lay violent hands on the in
animate body of dead Democracy. Procul-
