The Late George N. jackson

1t seems but Proper that some notice should
be taken by the press of the death of this gem
tleman, who had many friends in Portland, as
well as in the eastern portion of the State. The
Chicago papers appear to be unanimous in
their expressions of sorrow at his sudden
death. The Times, to which Mr.. jackson was
contributor, gives the following brief biogra-
phical notice of him.
''Mr. Jackson was born in FoXcroft, Me-. in
1888. His father was a farmer, and is still liv-
ing, a hale and hearty old gentleman of eighty
four years. After spending some years on the
farm and attending the village academy Mr..
jackson went to Bowdoin College, where he
was graduated in 1859 He came to the West
as agent for an eastern publishing house, and
settled in this city in 1864. For some time he
was secretary of the projected Chicago, Mil
lington and Western Railroad. Mr.. Jackson
was close student of political economy, de-
voting great deal of attention to the currency
question. He was one Of the organizers of the
Bi-Metallic League, and wrote several tracts
in favor of double coinage. For nearly two
years he was secretary of the association"
Mr.. jackson was a man of firm principles
and sterling integrity, and by his rare social
qualities and unselfsh disposition made friends
of all who came in contact with him. as is evil
denced by the many notices, all of most fiat
tering character, with which the papers of Chi
cago abound.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
HON. GEORGE wENpL1NG.

HUN. GEOhGE WENDIlNG.
The Burlington Hawkeye speaks as follows
of Hon. George Vending, who will reply to
Ingersoll at City Hall, Monday evening"
Burlington never had a greater outpour OF
genuine oratory and mastery argument COM
bined than the large and respectable audience
at Union Hall enjoyed last evening, in listen
ing to Mr.. Weniling's unanswerable reply to
Col. Ingersoll. 1t was the most complete ex-
hibit of the utter failure of atheism, whether
ancient or modern, to furnish a satisfying sub
stitute for the ideal of God and religion Mr.
Vending has magnificent oratory, and holds
his audience entranced from beginning to end.
He certainly is not an over-advertised man;
the lecture is all it has been represented by the
press, and those of our citizens who did not
hear it have occasion to regret the loss of an
intellectual feast. Mr. Weddings announced
determination to settle down to the practice of
law in st. Louis next autumn, cannot be
viewed otherwise than as matter of public
regret, and we may justly add, national cal
amity, if the decision is not revoked. 1t is o
lecture that vitality concerns the millions; and
the people of the United States who love their
country, its free institutions and sacred privi-
leges, have a right to demand that Mr.. Wend-
ling shall devote at least one more season to
the delivery of the masterpiece answer to the
infdeity of the age

THE ALLEGED FRAUDS.
A Statement from the Attorney OF Wash
ington County

County Attorney Rounds publishes the fol-
lowing in the Calais Advertiser
hereby certify that there were several cases
presented to me for violation of the election
laws of the State, at the late session OF the Su-
preme Judicial Court at Machias. But no case
coming from trial justices or otherwise charged
bribery in any form. More than two-thirds OF
the complaints were presented by Republicans.
After spending considerable time upon them,
the grand jury, with great unanimity, dis
missed all the cases, and then, and not till
then, 1 discharged the witnesses. Every case
presented to me was taken by me before the
jury and L acted throughout by their direc-
tons A large majority OF the jury was said
to be Democratic, but in no case did they di-
vide politically. They were controlled, in my
Judgment by their convictions of right and
duty, and did what other sensible men would
have done under like circumstances
The above is the exact statement of the facts
SO far as my action before the grand jury is
concerned, and challenge the Calais Times
and the Machias Union, not for assertions, but
for proof to the contrary.

A Warming to Newspaper Thieves

In the Municipal Court yesterday, before
Judge Knight, boy by the name of Logan
was arraigned for stealing the PRESS from the
store of S. A. Pierce, IA Market street, and
sentenced to the Reform School. This, we
trust, may prove wholesome warning to all
engaged in such petty thefts.
There appears to be systematic stealing OF
papers carried on in this city, and we are de-
termined, if possible, to break it up, and we re-
new our offer of So reward for the conviction
of any parties engaged in stealing the PRESS.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

THE DRAWING ROOM NOVELTY co.
The Drawing Room Novelty Company gave
a very pleasing entertainment at City Hall
last evening. All the various features were
good-in fact among the best of their kind
OF course the feature of the entertainment
was Balabrega, the illusionist, whose various
tricks were very skilfully and artistically per-
formed. There was nothing specially new
presented in his feats but they were among
the hest nrasantad tho
tours of the day.
Miss Nav Legion showed her skill in the
second sight act, reading with ease, while
blindfolded, from a book opened at random by
the audience, and telling what articles gath
cred from the spectators by Balabrega were
held up to test her supernatural powers.
Mr. Darlington, the drum soloist, was de-
tanned in New York, but will be present at the
matinee today. This was pleasant miss to
us, not but what Mr.. Darlington is an admira-
BILE drummer, but his absence AFFORDED a
chance to hear Miss Nellie f. Brown, the
reader who pleased much by her humorous
selections, and by the clearness and sprightll-
ness of her rendering.
The suspension feat was very attractive and
called for loud applause.
There should be crowded houses this alter
noon and evening.
Monday morning, at o'clock, the sale OF
seats for Fatinitza, to be given at City Hall,
Dec. 9th, will commence at Stockbridge's.
Among the cast will be Adelaide Phillips,

bee, Dixey, Kammerlee, and rockingham,

Here, Boys, Read This!


Some thirty years ago the New York
and New Haven railroad had just begun
running on a single track. One afternoon
a country boy of about fifteen was standing
near the track at cross road half way be-
tween Stamford and Darien. He heard
train coming from the latter station just as
New York train came in sight in
the opposite direction. He ran TO the
track and, waving his hat, caught the at
tention of the engineer, and by his earnest
manner and his pointing in the opposite
direction, convinced him that a train was
coming around the bend. He instantly
applied the brakes and stopped his train
Just in time TO escape disastrous collision.
The railroad company expressed its
gratitude at the time BY the present Of
valuable silver cup and a life pass over the
road. But this was not all; a year or two
later the boy. was taken into the employ of
the company and instructed in mechanical
engineering, for which he exhibited abil-
itv. He was an industrious worker, hon
est, intelligent and ambitious, and rose to a
responsible and lucrative position with the
company.
He settled in New Haven, where his
worth was recognized, and he was chosen
to number af honorable offices, all of
which he filled with the same honesty and
efficiency. Then the Stamford manulac-
turing company, one Of the largest and
most profitable concerns in the state,
sought his services, and here too he con-
tinued his successful career. To-day he is
a director and general superintendent of
this establishment is a director OF the Yale
national bank of New Haven, is interested
in half dozen or more profitable manu-
factories, and is one Of the most prominent
and respected, as he is one of the best, cit
izcns OF the Elm City and Of the state.
lie represents the city at present in the
general assembly, his name being John H.
Leeds, and his native modesty will proba-
bly, cause him to object TO this brief sketch
which is written because the lesson i!
teaches is a valuable one.
