I.arkin lcnd,s Romance.

The Chicago Tribune tells this story Of
the Vermont sculptor; Mr.. Mead was left
in charge Of the United States consulate Mt
Venice by his brothor.in-law, Mr. W. d.
lIowels, at present editor of the AHnhiic
MOnthlv during Mr.. lIowclls bridal "trip
home to America. Everybody who has
been in the quaint old city OF the Adria'ic
will remember the crowds that &C an eve.
ming promenade on ,lic beautiful piazza Of
San Marco. Will, in Venice the artist
met n lady who's perfect form, flashing
eye, ella, &c face nnl elegant bearing toward
her associates inAdc n case of desperate
love nj il.t sight. But the artist could
not speak word of her language; and how
to make lmsolf Known to the object &C his
ardent affections vas the problem. lis
promcna1cs ca sac piazza wc;c long and
frequent, and ever meeting With his in.
amorata only increased the ardor of his at-
iections. While at home Mr. Iowclls ac-
cepted the edto.laI chair OF the Atlantic
Monthly. In due time Mr. Lincoln appoint
ed Francis Cotton to the Venetian consul
late, and Mr. Mead returned to his studio
in Florence. But absence from his divinity
was ;ntoerahlc. He hed to Venice and
told his story to Mr.. Cotton, whose inter-
prefer aud assistant was member of one
Of the older noble families of Venice; and,
without at first knowing Of tho object of
the request, he was commissioned to find
out who tho lady was. She was found to
be in connections and culture all that could
be desired, and presently meeting was ar
ranged; but all the talking had TO be done
through an interpreter. 1t was courtship
only parallclcd by that of Henry V. (see
Shakespeare but it was successful. Then
there was new obstacle. The LADY was a
Roman Catholic; her intended was not;
and no priest could unite them in marriage.
The pope was appealed to in vain to grant
Il dispcnsation in their iavo-. But civil
marriage was performed in Florence,
and, soon after Catholic bishop in
England made their marriage complete
Mr. Cotton, Mr.. and Mrs. Mead met Tor the
first time in several years past Mt Spring
field, at the Inauguration Of the Lincoln
statute. 1t must have been proud day
for Mrs. Mead here were the highest civil
and military officers of great nation, to
dedicate a statute by her husband of a pa
triot who, next to Washington will fill the
highest place in American history. She
bore her honors with grace and dignity
worthy of daughter of the old Romans
Queenly in bearing. in figure, and in form
the peer of EugeBie herself she is most
worthy consort of one of Americas most
promising artists.

in the year 1869, we think, on the occasion
of the Democratic State Convention held
in this city, the Young Democracy concluded
that it was time for that "putrid reminis-
cence" known as the Democratic party to
disband. Those who were present will re-
member the hot words on that occasion.
Among the speakers was one W. G. Chad
bourne who said of the present Democratic
leader in this state: "Who is this Marcellus
Emery? What has he done for the Demo.
cratic party? The
Democratic party owes him nothing, but had
it not beenfor the loyal Democracy, he ,oould
haze dangle dirom Bangor lamp-posl in
the early part of the aoar! And
perhaps it would have been better for the
Democratic party if he had been hanged"
Since 1869 the Democracy have so far forgot
ten Mr.. Emery's political crimes that they
have allowed him to make himself the most
potential man in the party, but it is quite
otherwise with Republican soldiers in Bangor
and elsewhere. Neither his Commercial
or Mr.. Pillsbury's Standard will ever become
the recognized mouthpiece of that class.
When, therefore, they say that certain Re
publican soldiers in Bangor denounce the
"open letter" they say that which is false,
for we have seen letters from several of the
very men they name, warmly endorsing the
same. We have also seen more than score
OF letters from prominent Republican SOL
dsers IN different parts of the state, warmly
approving the same. When these gentlemen
speak they will not select those papers which
are the successors of JEFF Davis state papers
in Maine during the existence of the rebellion,
or select their editors, Emery and Pillsbury,
as their spokesmen.

The argus still insists that the biennial
official register of 1873 contains the names of
e6,66O ofice-holders, and says that it has a
copy of that work. Those, we insist, are the
figures of Fernando Wood, who stuffed the
register just as he has been accustomed to
stuff ballot-boxes. Now, Mr.. argus, if you
have that register, the number of civil off.
GERS in the service of the government can be
ascertained in two or three days; and to set
tie the question, suppose you hire some
Democrat at So day, let him take the regis
ter, come to our office and count the names,
and if the count shows that there were $4,000
civil officers and employees under pay at that
time, we will not only pay the counter but
frankly state the result. Bring on your reg
lister and YOUR man.

The assurance which President Grant has
given to frof Marsh that all existing evils in
Indian affairs shall be remedied is evidence
that the Government is determined in this as
in other cases to unearth all frauds and tc
punish those implicated in them. Whenever
an abuse has been shown to exist, it has
been fearlessly investigated. The admins.
tration will make thorough inquiry into the
management of Indian affairs, and correct
whatever is amiss, thus depriving the Demo

The Fourth District.

The Bangor Commercial is not at all
pleased because the Bangor Whig has practi-
cally taken ground against Mr.. Powers and
his pretentions. The Presque Isle Sanrise
and the Aroostook Pioneer, in this respect,
will ardently sympathize with the CONNER.
caat, for next to the personal followers of Mr.
Powers, the followers of Mr.. Emery are anx-
ious to have the Aroostook aspirant secure
the nomination and will afford him any assist.
ance within their power. 1t really appears
as IT Mr.. Powers, by the aid of few officials
and partisans, was attempting to force him
self upon the Republicans of the Fourth dis
trict, utterly regardless of the desire of the
majority of the rank and file of the party.
This might have worked to perfection a few
years age, but that time has now passed. No
man can rely upon large majorities to make
good the personal deficiencies and drawbacks
of the candidate. Gen. Butler imagined last
fall that Republican majority of 5000 would
carry him through with his immense over
weight of bad record, but it could not. Judge
Poland, whose general record was almost un-
Objectionable, was beaten principally be-
cause his constituents wanted another man.
He trusted to nomination, but found him
self woefully mistaken when the votes were
counted. The Whig very properly calls at
tention to the lessons of last year and warns
the gentlemen who are now so eager not to
fall into similar delusion and its possible
consequences.
There is also much feeling because the dis
trict committee have seen fit to fix a differ
ent basis of representation in the convention
than has hitherto been the custom. The op.
ponents of Mr.. Powers complain that this
basis gives Aroostook decided advantage
over Penobscot. If this is true, it is greatly
to be regretted as it will be likely to engender
bitterness which will not be easily overcome.
Discreet nominations will secure the Re-
publicans of Maine splendid triumph in
September. That line of policy has been
well begun by nominating Gen. Connor for
Governor. Oxford county has followed by
presenting the Republicans of that county
ticket made up of excellent men. Let other
counties and districts follow in the same
most excellent way.

Mr.. Charles OConor, in his long letter
addressed to Judge Noah Davis, Enthusiastically
expresses the opinion that the Court of Ap-
peals has been inconsistent in its action in
releasing Tweed, and quotes from its opinion
only three years ago in which it took the same
ground which Judge Davis assumed in the
Tweed trial in regard to cumulative SEN
tences. Mr.. O'Conor does not appear to be
actuated by the highest sentiments of respect
for the supreme judicial tribunal of New
York.

WHY in the name ofcommon sense do GER
tain Democratic journals continue to hunt up
aud print afidavits to show that Gen. Rob-
erts was good officer and brave man while
connected with the army? No Republican
paper has said to the contrary, and most of
them have declared he was. Why must his
political friends cast suspicion upon him by
these uncaled for affidavits and silly declara-
