Lord Chelmsford.
New York sun

Lord Chelmsford is probably the
poorest Peer of the realm. His pri-
vate means do not certainly exceed
$4,000 a year, and he has no expecta-
tons. His second brother is cavalry
officer, married, and with children
The next is a Judge, with Il salary of
$50 900, aud childless the only aflluent
member of the family. The fourth
son Is one Of the Lord Chancellor's
secretaries. The late Lord Chelmsford
had for over twenty years an income
of $4,000 to $50 600 from his practice
at the Bar; then became Lord Chancel-
Tor with salary of $4,000, and IA pen
sion of S25 600 on retiring. Yet, al
though he lived to Sc, he lett but $3.50.
600. He was domestic man, and de-
void of vices but he had wife who
was resolved to vie in the fashionable
world OF London with persons having
hereditary incomes Of $3.50 900 and
upward. OF three daughters, two
married men with "A few hundreds n
year, and the tuird is single. The sons
have not larried women of fortune.
A position about the Court yielding
perhaps 81 900 a year is all that Lord
Chelmsford can probably pow look
forward to. Probably the next poor
est Peer to Lord Chelmsford may al.
so be found in ZuIuland in the person
of Lord Clifford, grandson of another
w-lord, a gallant young fellow who
won the Victoria Cross in Ashantee.
The British army contains very few
wealthy men past 40. Numbers Of
rich youths enter the Guards or crack
cavalry regiments, but retire ut their
fathers death. Wellington and Mari
borough were younger sons.

Prince Napoleon's Morals.

A correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian writes Of Prince Jerome Ma
poleon and the cause of his personal
unpopularity " it is not so much that
he is immoral--in this respect he is
probably no worse than many another
royal parsonage; for instance, his late
father-in-law, the king of Italy-but he
llaunts his vices before people and acts

Countess G; a short time previ-
ously had appeared at II concert IN the
same city with another woman of loose
character, and the estimation in which
his highness is held in places where he
is known may be guessed from the fact
that the proprietor Of the house IN
which he was staying requested me not
to mention the circumstance, lest 1t
might injure the reputation Of his es-

a few days after the newspapers of

UP to the adoption Of the new consti-
tuition, mortgages in California contain
ed clause providing that the borrower
should pay any tax which might be
imposed on the value Of the mortgage.
The new constitution made it felon
to insert this clause in a mortgage and
imposed tax OF 2 per cent. on mort
cages, but capital protects itself IN
California as it does everywhere else;
the rate Of interest on mortgage has
been advanced by the savings banks
and other lenders 2 per cent. and the
borrower pays the tax as he did before.

Sebago Lake. Songo River. &c.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Every one knows that there
is no true enjoyment without health, and it is
the duty of all to embrace that which will con-
tribute the most effeetually toward the acquire
ment of that blessing, especially when it can
be done at a small expense. 1t is generally
conceded by everybody that a change is condu-
Give to health as it never fails to impart re
newed vigor and strength. And for change
would advise all who cannot afford a more
lengthy and expensive trip to take a ride on
the Portland and Ogdensburg road to the sta
ton at the lower end of Lake Sebago, and
there take the steamer which leaves on the ar
rival OF the cars to cross the Lake for Songo
River. The passage up this narrow, crooked
stream is beautiful and exciting. After sail
of live or six miles you arrive at the Lock which
is curiosity After sailing a short distance
from the Lock, you enter the 'Bay of Naples"
Two miles across the bay you enter Long Lake,
and after nine miles sail you are at Bridgton
wharf where the coaches are in readiness TO
convey you to the summit of Mount Pleasant.
where there is one of the finest views IN the
State The view far surpasses that offered
from Mt. Washington. You have fine view
OF the whole range of mountains besides large
tract OF country. The Mount Pleasant House
is fine, large eommodious house, well fas-
tened or bolted to the rocks, to render it safe
in case of sudden gale. They set good table
well furnished with all the Injuries of the sea-
son.
Those who cannot afford the expense of Wis
iting Mount Pleasant, can, for one dollar and
fifty cents, extend their sale up to the head of
the Lake to Harrison and North Bridgton and
return the same day, the whole distance by
steamer across the lower Lake up the river to
the end of the upper Lake being "a miles. This
one days excursion will afford a person vari-
ETY. Of change, all of which will be most beauti-
full, and of great benefit to the general health.

Fryeburg Camp Meeting.

SATURDAY, aug. 70.
The threatening shower last evening did not
prevent the people in large numbers from as
sembling at the grove for the evening. Rev.
j. E. Budden of Kezar Falls preached on
"The deliverance from bondage, from John
$50. eff the Son make you free, we shall be
free indeed.
In the morning at an early hour the people
began to gather in force, so that at the begin
ming of the service at the stand there were
more than at any preceding service, save the
one on Thursday afternoon.
The first service held at the stand was So
cial meeting at s a. M, led by MI. Jaques,
at the close of which, being called away, he
appointed Rev. L. o. Adams of Peaks Island
to take charge.
At 10 o'clock Rev. L. w. Smith of Conway,
N. H, preached very timely and instructive
sermon from the text in Judges, 7,21, every
man i'll his place.
At p. m. the people were again called to-
gether and listened attentively to the solemn
words uttered in the sermon delivered by Rev.
o. Ell. Stevens from the words "Say unto them
as live saith the Lord. / have no pleasure
in the death Of the wicked, but that the wick
ed turn from his way and live. Turn We, turn
We from your evil ways: for why will ye die,
0, house of Israeli"
Though the storm prevented us from gather
ing as early as usual, yet the prospect is that
there will be great good accomplished ere the
meeting shall close.

Messrs. Springer and McIntire Fail to


SEBAGo LAKE, Aug. 23d.
Mr. ED1ToR:-The time was 2 O'Clock FRI
day afternoon, the place was Standish Corner,
the occasion was a Greenback meeting, and
the man was l. d. Sawyer, proprietor Of the
Greenbaek circus here and manager of the
Democratic side show at present attached to it,
Isaac was mad as he ever was, which is putting
it strong enough. For week his lackays had
been canvassing the surrounding country and
drumming up recruits for this meeting. The
time had come. The people from Owlsboro
and from Foxhollow, and from Pudding Hill
and from all the regions around cabbage yard
were coming and the streets Of Standish were
getting as full as ON Republican caucus day,
but no signs of any speakers.
The train had failed to connect with the
agile gentleman from Illinois and the two
hunters that had been put on the trail OF Nc
Intire the day before had not returned with
their game. And right here Isaac got mad.
But there was no help for it, so they waited.
Three o'clock came and still no signs OF any
speakers Half past three brought telegram
from Springer saying that he was coming and
wanted them to hold the people. "Hold HI"
said Isaac, who had been trying to hold the
people for nearly two hours, and they were
slipping through his fingers like SO many
creased pigs and leaving for home.
At half past four Springer came and the two
hunters, but they had not been able to find
McIntire; he had entirely disappeared, pro-
badly had taken to the woods.
Springer was wound up and set agoing,
which set the geople running for home tas ter
than ever, and the warm day soon put an end
to Springer's talk and the meeting.
1t is talked among the Greenbackers to-day
that there ought to be some legislation to COM
pei railroads to run their trains so as to con-
meet with Mr.. Springer OF Illinois. NJ

A Modern Romance.
TWO WORLDS FURNISH THE FIELD
OF ACTION.
The Final Result Of a Maine Mans Nego-
tiations.

The readers of the PRESS may remember that
about year ago this journal published a story
to the effect that Mrs. Hill, who was quite a
belle in Syracuse, N. Y. married Charles e.
Hill, who originally came from the vicinity of
Naples, in this State, where his parents reside
Hill went to China long time ago to engage
in business and there amassed fortune, While
visiting Syracuse he met the lady who, in Feb
ruary, 1865. went to China and married him.
She is about 40 years old now, highly accom-
plished, fine face and figure. One child has
been born to the couple. In the winter of 1878
Mrs. Hill, who was in this country at Bridge
port, Conn, which she was making her home
received visit from Capt Henry McGilvery of
Belfast, in this State, an intimate friend of
Mr.. Hill. who came as a negotiator under in
structions from that gentleman to see if Mrs.
Hill would accept certain handsome sum to
keep a divorce suit Mrs. Hill had instituted
out of court. Mrs. Hill was so enraged at the
offer she went for Mr.. McGilvery with an ice
pitcher-in the parlor of the Steting House,
Bridgeport-inficting considerable injury. The
ground she brought for her divorce was said to
be adultery lat the time the article was publish
ed, while Mr.. Hill retaliated with like accusa-
lions. Mrs Hill attached property of Mr.. Hill
in Bridgeport worth $4,000. Last week the
case came on in the Superior Court at Bridge
port. Mrs. Hill alleged her husband had held
improper relations with Sallie f. Wyman and
Miss Lowry on shipboard during various
trips from California to Japan; that for three
years preceding the application for divorce
he treated her cruelty; that he is worth not less
than 100000 in property in China and in
Bridgeport, Conn.,, and in conclusion she asks
divorce, and that one-third of her husbands
property be awarded to her for her support.
Mr.. Hill, in his legal answer, asserts that he
can produce evidence showing his wife's I'M
faithfulness with no less than ten different
men, including Baptist clergyman in China.
and men in several European countries where
his wife has travelled since her marriage He
further affirms that she deserted him in May,
1870, and has since pursued an unwifely course.
Last Friday the court adjourned for three
weeks to await Mr.. HILL who is en- route from
China On the witness stand before the court
adjourned Mrs. Hill was subjected to an ex-
tended examination, in which she recited sew
eral instances of abuse by her husband. She
denied the improper intimacy with one itch
ard Neff in China, alleged in her husbands
answer A similar denial was made regarding
an intimacy with man in Naples.
On the subject of general conduct Hill puts
in his answer that he has led sober and chaste
life; that he has always treated his wife fond
ly; that he has made her numerous costly pre-
sents and that he has frequently complained
of her refusal to maintain the connubial rela-
lions. Much stress is also laid upon her refu-
sal to return to China with him when he last
visited the United States
