THE SERMONS YESTERDAY were earnest,
thoughtful and suggestive. Mr.. Beecher dis
cussed the law Of association and presented
strong plea for federation. The Rev. MIR. Alger,
with Decoration Day in view, described the
virtues and characteristics of the good soldier.
DIR. Chaplin pointed out the interdependcnce of
mankind, and the Rev. Mr.. Hatfield pinned his
faith to the story of Jonah and the whale, which
he declared to be not less credible than that of
the telegraph and tho telephone. Mr.. Tamage
made plea for peace, taking the ground that
tho funeral OF the politicians who want to be
President would be the spcediest way to bring
it about. Mr.. Swectser asked and answered
the question, "ls Professionalism a Failure r.
The efficacy of prayer was enlarged upon by
Father Hogan, and hopeful view Of the world
was taken by the Rev. Mr.. Hayden. DIR. Hep

did take place when he came to Washington
to command the armies and met Mr.. Lin
coin and Mr. Stanton for the first time.
The whole scene comes out as vivid as any
scene from the historic pen of Gibbon or
Victor Hugo. We have Mr.. Stanton meet
ing the new general in cordial manner,
anxious only to beat Lee his warning
General Grant not to tell Mr.. Lincoln his
plans, because Of the Presidents gentle
and tender nature and his proneness to
confide in politicians. We have Mr.. Lin
coin meeting the new general in q
manner more nflable and gracious than
Mr.. Stanton, rs we can well believe. We
can hear Mr.. Lincoln tell the comic story
about anaconda policies and see him 60
gravely to his map and point out his pet
line of ADVANCE line between two creeks
or rivers" We can imagine the new general
saying nothing, but thinking, as he now con-
fesses he did think, that If he had taken MIR.
Lincoln's line he would have been bottled
up as effectually as General Butler on the
james that che could do no good to his
own side and no harm to the other" And
SO the interview ended, and ''tho question Of
my plans" says the General, "thcir wisdom
or unwisdom, was never aiterward subject
Of conversation or correspondence" And
SO the fearful story of General Taylor and
the narrowing narrative of Mr.. Welles vanish
into the air like O summers cloud. General
Grant expressly says that oil that Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Stanton ever required Of
him was that ho should find Lee and.
beat him, that they never knew his
plans and never craved the knowledge,
that they put behind him all the power Of

Would BE Jail Breakers,

:, During the present criminal term of the
Superior Court, Charles Brown, arrested for
picking pockets on the circus grounds when
Barnum's show was here aud indicted by the
grand jury, was sentenced to the county Jail
but, at his request, his sentence was changed to
Thomaston as he said he wanted to learn
trade. Owen G. Bryant was sentenced at the
same time for series of burglaries in the
town of Casco this summer.
The two men, after their sentences, were
taken down to the Jail and placed in different
cells in the western wing. They have con-
Quoted themselves admirably, and, as is usual
in such cases, have been allowed the liberty of
the corridor. For some time past, some of the
people in the Jail have noticed that when
Brown and Bryant were at liberty they ap-
pearsd to spend considerable time in the closet
at the southwesterly corner. The closet con-
tains window guarded by iron bars, each
nearly il inches thick. The window is on the
ground floor and looks out on Lincoln street.
If bar should be removed it would not be
difficult for man to squeeze through and
make his escape
Finally suspicione were aroused aud the
officers were notified. Examination revealed
the fact that one of the iron bars had been
sawed nearly off, SO that it could be broken
with little noise, and another sawed nearly off.
The gaps in the iron were filled with wheel
grease and putty. Farther investigation dis
covered in Browns possession on old case
knife, the edges of which had been transformed
into saws with which the job had been accom-
plished. How, or where they procured the
knife is unknown. Mr. Stewart, the county
commissioner, visited the spot yesterday morn
ing and thought the job well done as far as
they went.

Alleged EmbeZzlemc u (

On May 17tb, it is alleged, Frederick L. Hall,
postmaster at Waldo station, about six miles
from Belfast, distracted from the mails of his
office a registered letter containing sum of
money belonging to, and directed to P. E.
Luce, student at the Kent's Hill Seminary.
The letter failed to come to hand and the mat
ter was put into the hands of special agent of
the post.offioe. Tuesday the authorities pro-
ceeded to Waldo Station and there arrested
Mr.. Hall as the guilty party. Mr. Hall strong
ly proclaimed his innocence, but was brought
to this city, and Tuesday afternoon appeared
before Commissioner Rand. he pleaded not
guilty and was committed to Jail to await his
trial at p. m. yesterday.
AS at 8 p. m. yesterday the counsel for the
defence was not ready, the case was adjourned
to 10 a. m. Friday. The story is that the
money was handed him to send. He put it in
a common envelope instead of registered
money envelope, and paid the money after
wards over, having made the mistake through
ignorance.

DEATH OF PIONEER REPUBLICAN.-Maj.
John A. Willard of Wilton died recently at the
age of SO years and 6 months. Prior to 1854
Major Willard was Wing. When, however.
anti-slavery and temperance became the lead
ing issues in Maine, and the Republican party
was organized in Franklin county, at con-
vention held in Strong in the summer of 1854,
he took an active and prominent part; and it
was upon his motion that the new party, then
and there formed, was given the name of the
Republican Party of Franklin County" This
party composed former members of the Wing,
Democratic and Free Soil parties. was the first
Republican organization in any of the states,
being in advance of the general organization Of
the Republican party throughout the several
states which followed in 1866, and which be-
came national party in the year last named,
when Gen. John G. Fremont was put in NOM
ination for the Presidency. Major Will lard is,
therefore, entitled to the honor of proposing
the name adopted by the party which became
SO great and accomplished such mighty results
that must ever stand out among the most i'm
portant in the history of the nation.
