And the HON. HANNIBAL tAMLlN was declared
TO be the republican candidate for the office OF
United States Senator.
Hon. W. w. Thomas Jr., of Portland, said
that in company with other members, he had cast
his vote for an honored gentleman of his own
city-one who had done noble service for the
country in the legislative halls OF the nation and
whose hands had guided the Ship Of State amid
the perls of civil war. But the convention had
by large majority selected another candidate
He deemed the success Of the republican party
the grand old party that had saved the nation
and that is now the hope Of the coun,ry-more
important. than the success of any man. 1t is no
smooth and pleasant road that lies before this
party of high hopes. but the way is be- et with
difficulties and danger; and in the midst Of these
dangers there must be harmonious action. He
would therefore move that the nomination of
Hon. Hannibal lamlin, the veteran statesman of
Maine be made unanimous.
The vote was taken by rising, and apparently
every member voted.
Mr.. Thomas brief but eloquent speech was
roundly cbeered, and the caucas adjourned with

Dancing a " Survival" {"

Moncure D. Conway writes from Lon
don; Somehow London seems to have
got tired of dancing. When the Shah
was here, no remark he made was more
relished than his question to the Prince
Of Wales while the dance was going on,
-" Why do you not employ servants to do
this for you" The perspiring Prince
could hardly explain, but society seems
to relegate dancing to the corps de ballet.
This has been especially the case this
season when the new fashionable skirts
have gone to an extreme from the liberia
ton of the ballet, A lady was recently
