PEBsoNAL.-A writer in the Boston Globe
abiding to paper lately read before the Fra
terulty Club by Hon. Geo. T. Davis, of this
city, and afterwards published in the PRESS,
justly speaks of him as "a gentleman scholar,
statesman. publicist and man Of letters, even
more widely known in Massachusetts than in
his lately adopted State" And still more
happily this writer continues: 'It is always
pleasant to read anything which Mr.. Davis
will condescend or consent t. write; for all
the friends who appreciate the freshness, full
ness, richness aud geniality of his mind are a
little vexed that what he SO freely lavishes in
conversation should find such scanty record
in literature. That he is one of the most
brilliant men in the country, that his pres
ence in company of cultivated men and wo-
men is, as Emerson finely said of Agassiz,
"a festivity,' is generally acknowledged by ev-
cry person who has the honor of being classed
among his acquaintance. Occasionally he
deviates from talk into type, but the devia-
ton is always on some minor matter which
he has specially investigated, and which he is
impelled to print. The probabilities are
strongly against the possibility that what Mr..
Davis is, and what Mr.. Davis knows, will
ever find an adequate expression in what Mr..
Davis will consent to write.

Miss Grants Marriage.

Miss Nellie Grant, the only daughter of the
President, is to be married on the 14th of May,
to Mr.. Sartoris, a young Englishman of for.
tune with whom she became acquainted on her
last visit to Europe. The fortunate groom is
son of Mrs. Adelaide Sartoris nee Kemble, a
nephew of Mrs. Frances Kemble Butler, and
grandson of the famous Charles Kemble of
histrionic renown. The fair iancee has had a
great many admirers on both sides of the
ocean, her winning manners, and perfect free
dom from self consciousness having made her
very captivating. But love, which laughs at
locksmiths, defies geographical boundaries also,
and this fair young American having given her
heart to a foreigner is about to take up her
home in the British capital. The happy couple
are to sail on the 10th. Those who know the
depth of the Presidents attachment to his
home and household will realize how sadly he
will contemplate even such parting with the
"sole daughter of his house and heart" There
is not family within the limits of the Repub-
lie in which closer unity and devotion prevails
than that of the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton. In the domestic circle, Gen. Grant is a
model of kindness and affection. Every wish
of his wife is law to him and his foDdness for
his children is one of the most beautiful traits
of his noble character. There is nowhere on
the broad earth happier home than that
which gives grace to the Executive Mansion in
Washington.

The Portland daily press., 1874-04-07

OF late the Calais Times has appeared in
an cratic condition and, among many 9TH
er things of a tanciful nature, has stated on
the authority of two Washington correspon-
dents whose names were not given, that Mr..
Hale and other members of the Maine dele
CATION signed recommendation in favor of
the appointment of Mr.. Whidden to be Su-
pervisor of Internal Revenue. The state
ment OF the Times had an appearance of thin
ness which one associates with July ice: We
now commend the following Washington
special OF the Boston Journal signed ''Webb''
TO he Times and others interested:
The reports in the Maine papers that SEN
ators Hamlin and Morrill,, with part of the
Maine delegation, had some time since signed
recouin,cnda,iv,, i.~i.-,~.- .l-.- 81.
ment OF Charles r. Whi4den as Supervisor
OF Internal Revenue, are absolutely untrue
No such recommendation was ever made
Mr.. Hale neuer requested any of his COL
leagues to sign such a paper, and the report
ed conversation between Repr .sentatlves Hale
and Frye in RI gard to Whidden are pure in
ventions Of imagination. The whole Maine
delegation cordially united in recommending
Gen. Sewall. This dispatch is based OH the
most CON- etent authority, ami is undeniably
accurate.
10 put 1t automatically, the statements of
Mr.. Whidden's organ are colspicuously mex
act.
The Portland daily press., 1874-04-07
Whidden on the Rampage.

To the average mind there is comic sort of
pathos IN the recent attacks upon Mr.. Hale by
men who, until very recently, apparently deem
ed no one in this district worthy to loose the
latchets of his shoes. Prior to the removal of
COifcctOr vvhiduO,s sss,St &ss sesa to be
said of Mr. Hale by that gentleman and his
immediate political friends At Hale's last
election none were so loud in his praise, none
SO verbose in condemnation of his opponents
who opposed him, simply because they did not
like Mr.. Whdden. WHAT has MIR. Hale done
since the ex- Collector ibid more than any man
IN the district to elect him." as he claims?
Simply this: He very wisely and properly re-
fused to retain Mr.. Whidden in office because
constituents ever since, more than two years
ago, clamored for his removal Whether or
not MT. Hale or any one deemed him unfit for
the place mattered not It was sufficient
ground for his removal that the peonje de-
manded it, and certainly Mr.. Whidden's
friends wE0uR;ged his appointment as being
the desire oil hpeople should not complain #
the same powef procured his removal-and for
this the excel ector-heaven save the mark
endeavQrs TO get up an opposition to Mr. Hale,
wbifh; H6N present indications, will prove as
idle as-tne motive that prompts it is discredit-
able. N6one doubts that had Mr.. Whidden
been retained, he would now be in favor of Mr..
Hale's denomination. Having been removed,
he is now opposed to it, and this is the kind of
man who sets himself up as wonld be leader
'6f the Republicans of this section.-Whatever
slight following he may gain in Waldo will find
itself totally without aid from this county
Calais Advertiser.
