bonded debt of the Grand Trunk is t2o,-
coo per mile, that OF the Lewis and hcn-
ncbec is but IS 300. and the total amount
required TO pay the interest on the bonds
issued for the first section, is but Il 900
per annum. 1t certainly augurs well for
the future success of the road that its con-
struction cost but S2j 200 mile as OPP
posed to 100000 on the Grand Trunk
and similar lines
The facts presented above ought to
stimulate our people in Augusta and other
towns along the route from the boundary
line to Wiscasset to active efforts for the
completion of the roads in this State which
will connect with the Point Lewis and
Kennebec Railroad. We understand that
some aid will be afforded from Canadian
sources if necessary towards building
through our State, but Of course it will be
demanded of Us that we do what we can
for ourselves. In two years more, at
most. the Canadian end of this important
international thoroughfare will be com
pleted, and we ought at the same time to
drive the last spike of the finished road
from the boundary to tide waters at Wis
casset. There has always been an intell:-
gent knowledge of the advantages of this
enterprise to Maine among the most dis
corning of Maine people. but they pre-
ferred to await action in Canada before
moving in earnest. Canada has now gone
so far and so well in the undertaking,
that the completion of her part of the job
is assured, and we are invited by her eX-
ample to prosecute with energy our share
of it. The organizations and individuals
interested should at once exert themselves
in determined effort to 60 ahead. 1t is
time to talk boldly and earnestly, to agi-
tate the subject by all possible methods,
to leave no stone unturned in the path of
progress, and the result will be success.

A SPECIMEN CASE.
How the Second NJ. p. Court is
Run.

In August last, about the 9Th of the month
Raymond Joseph Hortaire, negro man, was
locked up ia the Fifth Prec not Station for steal
ing box of shoes from Jos. Laux, whose store
is at the corner of Chartres and Barracks streets.
The case was transferred to the Second NUM-
cipal Police Court, over which Judge Eug. Staes
presides, the day following the arrest, and before
this court Mr.. Laux made an affidavit charging
Hortaire with larceny.
Hortaire. was released on bond. The case WAS
fixed and continued five times, and each time Mr..
Laux was on hand with his witnesses. The con-
tinued postponement of the case caused Mr..
Laux considerable annoyance and loss Ut time,
and it had the appearance Of an attempt to weary
him OF the prosecution.
On Wednesday last, however, it was called and
disposed OF, and the prisoner honorably dis
conclusive evidence against him.
Mr.. Lowe testified to have seen the accused and
another man drop the box of shoes in the middle
of the street and run, and other witnesses estab-
lished the fact that it was necessary for the
officer who made the arrest to knock Hortaire
down before he could stop him and secure him.
There has been considerable talk about the
style in which Justice" (?) is administered in this
court, and this is cited as a specimen case.
Hortaire with consumate cheek has enga led
lawyer and through him has notified Mr.. Laux
that he considered himself damaged to the tune
Of $500, and unless that amount is paid he will
institute suit,

on the characteristics of the people of their

becoming little piqaed at the witty sallies
OF her companion, exclaimed Mr.. -,

must be remembered that more latitude was
accorded to the language of ladies at that
time than at present. The statesman, pre-
serving his equanimity, quietly wrote the
following, on the back Of q card, and pre-
sented it to his fair disputant:

RECOLLECTIONS OF FAMOUS MEN.

I doubt if there are fifty persons in the United
States who know that John Quincy Adams and
Robert Barnwell Rhett, were cousins. These two
men, representing the extreme Northern and the
extreme Southern doctrines, and who hated each
other with intense bitterness were near relatives
as shall now show. The Rhetts Of south G arc.
lima having become extinct, their relations, the
Smiths, of Beaufort, South Carolina, took the
| name of Rhett in the year 1886. These Smiths
were from North Carolina. The brothers, Henry,
James, Robert Barnwell and Albert, changed the
name to Rhett, as I have stated.
Their cousins, Abigail Smith, of North
Carolina, married John Adams, and was the
mother OF John Quincy Adams. The partisan
acrimony of these two men was so intensely bit
ter that in 1888. when the South Carolina Nllli-
flying Convention was debating the policy of &C.
cepting the compromise bill just passed by Con-
gress, and favored by Calhoun, Robert Barnwell
Rhett said, that "before accepting that compro-
mise he would be shattered into bloody Pigments
on the battle-ield!" And John Quincy Adams,
in letter to some old woman in Massachusetts,
named Thaxter, in 1874, asserted "that slavery
should be abolished if it cost the lives of five
hundred thousand men!" In fact, it may have
been said of John Quincy Adams, in the last
years of his life, as Antipater said of some old
orator, that he was like sacrifice, there being
nothing left Of him but his tongue and his
paunch."
In the year 1927 1 saw the celebrated Aaron
Burr. He came to attend the examination at
Partridge's Military Academy, where he had Q
ward named Francis Burdett. He came with an
other ward-he was always educating some
body-who was young lady. just grown to
womanhood. and who, believe, subsequently
married Gov. John L. Wilson of South Carolina.
he had the classic outline of face which is por-
trayed in his likeness prefxed to his "Life Of
Davis" the once celebrated "Spy in Washing
ton" Col. Burr was about five feet six inches in
height, and wore his hair in queue.
When Calhoun was dying, young preacher,
named Butler, called to see him. When Calhoun
heard the name, supposing the caller was his
colleague, Judge Andrew Pickens Butler, he said
to his private secretary, Scovil "Show him up
it is his privilege" But imagine his amazement
when the young minister was ushered into the
chamber and announced his object being to con-
verse with Calhoun on religion MIR. Scovil saws
that Mr.. Calhoun became very angry, and he
heard him muttering ga boy-a boy-without q
speak about religion subject about which
have been thinking all my life " When / recall
this scene, and remember the matchless pre-
eminence OF Mr.. Calhoun, l can not help repeat
ing the line Fools rush in where angels fear
to tread" '**
