Attorney General Williams presented the res

the late Chief Jnstice Chase and in the course
of the remarks he made, said: "Posterity will
know him through his public service but we,
his associates and friends know and can appre.
ciate as we'll, his private virtues. PHYSICALLY,
Intellectually and morally, he was all that a
Chief Justice ought to be. Impelled by what
has been termed the infirmity Of noble minds
he pursued with untiring zeal his lofty aim,
and wbateverselse may be said of his aspira.
tions, ,ihappily no one can say that they marred
the excellency or purity of his personal charac-
ter. He went down to the grave crowded with
years and many honors and left to his children
and his country the record of life rich in the
worlds opinion and mems praise and full of
all we could desire but days.
Associate Justice Clifford in response review
ed the public career of the deceased. saving,
'.Men find it easy to review others but mncb
more difficult to criticize and review their own
acts, and yet that is the very summit to which
the upright Judge should always be striving.

CARS ON THE STREET The occupancy of
Commercial street as a sort of yard for the
loading of cars gives rise to much complaint
From State to Maple street there are double
tracks, filled large part of the time with long
rows of cars which seriously obstruct the street
and make crossing matter of much difficulty
and danger. Some measures should be taken
to relieve this street, The necessary occupa-
ton of it for the passage of cars and the stop
pages to unload before stores is sufficiently
annoying and cars should be left on the street
the least possible time consistent with business
interests

"The State of Maine" from an industrial
standpoint. Capt. Knight has for more than
year been gathering statistics, facts and notes
of all the industries of the State, and these he
is working up in the form of an attractive lee

character may lack interest," but jud ging from
what the author has done in years gone by in
the field of journalism, we hazard nothing in
predicting that under his facile and genial pen,
the important subject will be clothed with fac

LAST SENsATIoN.-This evening Music Hall
will undoubtedly be crowded to repletion.
Washburn's last sensation is to appear for the
first time before Portland audience, and judg-
ingfrom the uncommonly favorable notice given
them by the press generally, they must give an
exhibition of rare merit. This is what Wor-
cester exchange says of them: Washburn's
Last Sensation at Harrlngton'S last night, de-
lighted a large audience, which gathered, de-
spite the unpromising weather, and the per-
formers won the most enthusiastic manifesto
tions of satisfaction. The entertainment
throughout is rich with excellent character act
ing, musical gems, artistic dancing, surprising
gymnastic feats, and other very attractive fea-
lures, which at once pleased the audience, and
called forth their generous plaudits. The nu-
merooS artists form powerful combination of
talent, of rare versatility of irresistible attrac-
ton, and the managers in their tour of the
States, can, we think, safely rely upon profta-
Bile business such as greeted them last evening,
LowELLs New SToRE.-The old Emery &
Waterhouse store, No. 152 Middle street, has
been rebuilt and fitted up especially for Abner
Lowell, Esq, who has transferred his extensive

this store. 1t is double the ordinary width and
very deep; and is finished with black walnut
shelves, massive in character and elaborate in
design. 1t is handsomely frescoed and presents
altogether one of the most elegant establish
ments in the city. The class and variety of the
goods kept by Mr.. Lowell are too well known to
our citizens for more than a passing notice.
Jewelry and silver ware of every description
and cost required by his class of trade, may be
found there. The magnificent windows attract
especial notice and are we'll worth stopping to
examine.
