Der who escaped from Libby prison
and got safe to Washington, where
he met General Starkweather, who
was there for the investigation Of
Rosencranz' mishap at Chickamau-
ga. General Starkweather asked
him what he was doing there, and
colonel Hobart said he came for
orders, as the last order he gave
him was TO fall back on the second
line of breast and he did so,
but could not find any until he got
to Richmond, and it took hard
work to dig out of them.
After our brigade got in the Gap,
we marched to Chattanooga and
took position at the mouth of Bos-
well Gap for about a day, and then
fell back in the city behind the
works which were built by the
other corps.
After a few days, Rosencranz
effected an exchange for our wound
ed. Our wagon and ambulance
trains were filled with wounded
who had laid several days on the
battle field without food or drink,
and at every arrival of train we
would hunt for our wounded com
rades.
The time we were at Chattanooga
we were requested several times to
surrender, but there was no sur
render, as there was hope of as
sistance from Grant.
When the boys from the Poto-
mac came to our assistance, we
cleaned the rebels out at Lookout
and Missionary Ridge.
During the time we were penned
u, we had hard fare-three small |
crackers for two days, and, during
he same time, we were engaged in /
breastworks from morn
Nc till night.

Buy a Home.

Gen. George Barstow gives good

advice in a speech on the subject
of "Home." He said every man
should own his own home,if he can.
That philosophy which tells a man
to drift over the uncertain life
without a home, is like ship out
in the open sea, at the hazard of
the storm. A man that owns his
home is like a ship that has arrived
in port, and is moored in a safe
harbor. One man should be no
more content to live in a home
that is not his own, if lie can build
one, than one bird should take the
risk of Matching in another ones
nest and for my own part, l
would rather be able to own cot
tage than to hire a palace. | say
to every man, buy a home If you
can, and own 1T. III wlndfall mas
come to you, buy a home. Do
not let any one tempt you to put all
your earnings back into the pool.
Take out enough to buy a home,
and buy it. Put the rest back if
you will; gamble on it if you must
but buy the home first. Buy it,
and sell not. Then the roses that
bloom they are yours the clematis
and jasmine that climb upon the
porch belong to you. You have
planted them, and seen them grow.
When you are at work upon them,
you are not working for others.
If there are children, there are
lowers within the house and with
put Buy a home.

FIRE ON POTTER'S LANE.
Lamson g. Swasey's New Pottery Quilted.

The alarm of fire, about 7.15 P. M. last
evening, was caused by flames issuing from
Lamson & Swasey's new pottery, located on
Potter's Lane, between Green and Canton
streets. The pottery fronts on Potter's Lane
and is in the centre of perfect nest of wooden
tenements and there is large stable near at
hand. The lower story is devoted to the burn
ing-kiln and the manufacture of the earthen-
ware; the second story to the storing of the
ware. The fire is supposed to have taken from
the burning-kiln. 1t was just about the time
the fires are started up for evening work. The
first known OF the fire was the flames shooting
up from the kiln, in the rear of the building,
and shooting through the roof. There was a
large pile of birch wood and birch-bark near by
which caught and sent sparks and flame in
every direction. The smoke was dense and
rolled up the streets into the upper part of
the city.
The department was quickly on hand and
saved large portion of the pottery. The
building was erected by Stiles, not very long
ago, at cost of $1,000. 1t is one hundred feet
long, fifty wide-with low side addition
and two stories high. The stock was probably
ruined by water and breakage. VIM Allen,
Jr., had $4,000 on building and stock; $3.50 each
in the Buffalo German, Revere, New Hamp-
shire and Prescott. The loss will probably be
covered by the insurance. One of the hands left
suit OF clothes, with a silver watch in one
OF the pockets, hanging in the pottery. The
watch was recovered pretty well blackened up,
and the clothes were ruined.
A two stored tenement, close by, owned
and occupied by Mrs. Kavanagh, caught fire
and was partially burned at one end and some
of the roof burned off. She is covered by an
insurance policy of 81, 800 with Rollins & Adj
ans in the Franklin of Philadelphia. Her
furniture was got out in more or less dam
aged condition.
The alarm struck every way for Sunday, be-
cause it was pulled in from two boxes instead
of one. 1t would always be we'll to remember
in striking an alarm that only one box is
needed. The new horses belonging to the de-
partment behaved splendidly at the fire. Mr..
Lamson was away in Massachusetts at the
time of the fire, and Mr.. Swasey had gone to
his home in Deering.
At about half past 10 another alarm was
sounded from the same locality. A pile of
wood near the pottery caught fire, and some
excitable person instead of throwing pail of
water on to it called for the engines. No dam
age of any consequence

Canon HAYES and His Successor

Last evening, at a vestry meeting of St.
Luke's Cathedral Canon Hayes sent in his
resignation which was accepted. He is the
next Oldest priest economically resident in this
diocese, having come here in 1868 from west
ern New York, to which place he now returns.
He has been the Secretary of the Diocese of
Maine for many years, Secretary of the Stand
ing Committee, member of the Board of Ex-
aiming Chaplains and an invaluable official
in the Diocesan Conventions. He has also
served as Corresponding Secretary of the
Maine Historical Society for a number of years.
His friends in Portland and throughout the
State will feel deeply the loss of his society,
and the clergy will miss the influence of his
exemplary Christian char acter.
Rev. G. Morton Stills, who is to assume the
duties of the position vacated by Rev. Mr..
Hayes, comes from Halifax, N. S., where he
has been curate of the cathedral in that city
for the past few years. He has been appoint
ed resident canon of st. Luke's by Bishop
Nicely and will enter upon his duties in a few
weeks. Mr.. Stills is young man in the prime
OF life and comes with fine reputation as a
preacher and pastor from that important
church of the Diocese of Nova Scotia.

The proposition advanced by Prof. Bartlett
of establishing sampling and smelling works
in Portland will possibly be carried out. The
works will probably be located near the Curtis
ship yard beyond the Eastern promenade if es-
tablished. There is talk of forming company
with capital of 100000 all of which will be
put in the treasury for working capital. This
will be divided into $500 shares of par value
of 500. Subscriptions will be received in due
time for 1000 shares at ss25 per share. The re-
manning 1900 shares will remain in the treas
ury until such time as the company may re-
quire them for enlarging the works. The bust
ness of the company will be buying, asserting,
sampling and shipping ores. They will at
present erect only small smelling furnace for
the purpose of working up small lots of ore
such as almost any mine might wish, say ten
tons, in order to prove what the ore is actually
worth. Several parties, it is said, have al
ready offered to take from $500 to $4,000 in
stock, apiece

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

HAvERLY's CoLoRED MINsTRELs.
The tickets for the performance tonight at
Portland Theatre have been taken up rapidly.
The Boston Globe says
'Seldom does travelling combination open
an engagement under more cheering auspices
than did the colored minstrel troupe. organ
lied by the indefatigable Haverly at the Bos-
ton Theatre last evening. The elements
could not have entered into much more for
home, yet the spacious parquet was crammed
to its utmost capacity by an audience which
came in damp but went away aglow, The
balconies also had their due proportion, and
even standing room was hard to find. The
programme was brilliant one, and its per-
formance far exceeded even what the fame of
the manager would lead one to expect. The
end men, ten in all, were almost numerous
enough to form an entire minstrel troupe of
ordinary old-fashioned pattern, and the special
ties were original, captivating, marvellous, and
surprisingly 'ludicrous. Each feature of the
programme merits especial mention. but the
praise would be so uniform as to be come tire
some. OF such an entertainment the critic
must content himself with saying that there
was nothing to condemn and everything to ap-
prove"
1t is unn ecessary to urge Lotta's claims to
consideration, judging by the demand for
IChotS. ono VIII appear IN Zip at Portland
Theatre Saturday night.
THE IDEAL UNCLE TOM.
At Stockbridge's the tickets will be found
for the matinee and evening performance of
the Hyers Sisters Uncle Tom troupe who ap-
pear at City Hall at that time. Mrs Harriet
Beecher Stowe has written a prologue for
them. The Providence journal says:
The "Ideal Uncle Toms Cabin Company"
including the Flyers Sisters Combination and
complete white dramatic company, gave
very realistic and successful presentation of
that drama last evening at the Opera House.
1t can be truly said that the company follow
the text and original arrangement of events
more closely than any other company. Sam
Lucas has made a careful study of the charac-
terstics of Uncle Tom, and his impersonation
of the faithful, noble-hearted negro is worthy
of the highest commentator. Miss Louise
Flyers, as the mischievous, untutored Topsy,
threw into the portraiture such abandon and
vivacity of merriment and gesture that the
audience were oftentimes convulsed with
laughter at the cleverness of her acting The
plantation sketches in choruses and part songs
formed pleasing incidental features, and the
performance was one of the best ever given in
this CITY.
