Both houses Of the Virginia legislature have
passed the readjustment bill, much to the dis
appointment and disgust OF the debt-payers. 1t
was believed that Hamllton's substitute would
command the support of the colored members,
and thus deprive the readJusers Of a majority
but, with the exception OF Hamilton himself
every one of the colored republicans voted for
the population bill. This bill reduces the state
debt from s33 900 to $50 900 OOO and fixes the
interest at three per cent, but the veto of the
governor will prevent it from becoming law.
The readjustsrs and their colOred allies COM
bined lack four votes in the senate and twelve
In the house Of the number requisite to pass the
bill over veto. The interposition Of the veto
will make 1t necessary to submit the bill to a
vote of the people at the election next fall. II,
then, 1t should be ratified by majority vote it
will become operatives if it should BE rejected
1t will devolve upon the legislature TO frame
debt law that will be acceptable to the people.

Though the Senate committee on appropria-
lions have not reached a vote upon the star
service deficiency, their probable course OF
action has been defined in their discussions. 1t
is virtually conceded that they will recommend
increasing the House bill to an amount suf1i-
cient to continue the service upon existing
routes ana under present contracts throughout
the fiscal year. The department now estimates
that 81 100000 will accomplish this. There is
no reason to doubt but that the Sanate will
promptly vote to carry out the recomme ndation
OF the committee. The consideration that out
weighs all others in this question Is the necessity
OF keeping mail facilities up to the present
standard Congressman do not desire to face
constituents who have been deprived OF their
regular service OF letters and papers.

1t is not strange that the public feeling over
the series OF atrocious outrages committed in
this city should have reached a white heat OF
wrath, but 1t will not do to resort to lawless-

The Universalist society at Yarmouth OBJ
served Children's Sunday at their chapel last
Sabbath with exercises appropriate to the &C.
casion The chapel was profusely decorated
with elegant flowers and evergreen, presenting
an appearance not often witnessed in this
town. The sanctum was completely packed
with rare and beautiful plants, while at the
rear OF the platform was erected an arch bear
ing golden cross and the words "Jesus, our
Shepherd and from the centre hung a basket
OF rich flowers. Immediately in front of the
pulpit were two stands bearing lilies. which
were very handsome and noticeable, as was
also the dove perched in an evergreen wreath
suspended from the ceiling. Evergreen and
baskets containing trailing vines hanging from
the chandeliers and wall lamps were very pref
ty Bouquets of flowers were numerous and
ornamental. Crosses, stars, anchors and
wreaths were erected ON the walls in memory
OF those who have died during the wear. Ca
nary birds In handsome cages hanging at the
windows were attractive, and their gentle
notes were often heard throughout the SER
vices. The choir consisting of Mrs. Hamilton.

Buxton, tenor; A. III. Humphrey basso; with
Miss Carrie Baker, organst furnished some
fine music.

preaching by the pastor, Rev. Geo. G. Hamil-
ton, who took for his text Galatians 9th chap
I'd verse-"Bear We one another's burdens, and
SO fulfil the law of Christi The sermon was
very interesting and attentively listened to by
the large congregation present. The afternoon
exercises consisted of Sabbath School con-
cert which drew crowded house. Recita-

and gentlemen, which were all finely render

A Splendid Double Harness.

Some time ago we had occasion to remark
upon a splendid set of double harness manu-
featured by the well known harness maker T.
B. Sheehan, at No. IS Preble street, for the
fine truck team belonging to Twitchell, Cham
pin & Co. Yesterday we had an opportunity
of seeing what is claimed to be the best made
set of double harness ever made in Portland.
They were made by Mr.. Sheehan for Mr. H .
N. Jose's private carriage, and are of splendid
stock and workmanship. The harnesses are
gold mounted and English lettered, while all
the parts are double and the plain leather
stitched fourteen to the inch The patent
leather is stitched eighteen to the inch. The
brides have the sweled front, which is the
latest style. The bit is of the Hanoverian pat
tern with English bar-something entirely
new for this city. The brides are also orna-
mented with rejecting rosettes. so that the
initial letter j is brought out in strong relief
from its crystal setting, contributing greatly to
the beauty of the whole. The harnesses have
the Princes rim collar, the pads have folded
body parts and, in a word, nothing seems
lacking that can give strength, lightness,
beauty and durability to the set.

The Best " Altering Place

Year by year the fact is more and more gen.
orally accepted that of all the MANY summer
watering places in this country, the most en-
joyable, possessing the greatest variety of at
fractions and the widest range of real comforts
is after all, our great metropolis the CITY of
New York. 1t is, therefore, matter of serious
interest to families contemplating Temporary
residence here in this season to know the best
hotel to which they can come, the one to which
they can look with confidence as Offering at
very reasonable commensurate cost all the
comforts OF a luxurious private home. That
house is, beyond a doubt, the famous Buck
ingham, on the southeast corner of 9TH Ave
nue. and 5Oth street. Located upon very high
ground, the crown of Murray Hill surround
ed by spacious, breezy streets; erected with
such perfect arrangements for thorough ven
tilation and such solidty that the heat of the
dog days can scarcely penetrate its interior
there can hardly be imagined conditions under
which summer would be less Objectionable
than here. Another very important feature of
this hotel, to all who possess refined tastes, is
the artlstlc elegance of its furnishing. In
stead OF resembling the ordinary so-called first
class American hotels in the glare and glitter
that makes them seem escaped fragments of a
theatrical spectacular transformation scene, all
here is subdued in tint, full of harmony in
color, charming in outline, as in the interiors
OF the most aristocratic private mansions The
Buckingham is conducted upon the London
family hotel plan so that its prices are on a
sliding scale, adapted to almost all excheauers
yet always economical in consideration of the
luxury and comfort offered.-Boston Journal

Maine HarbOrS,


The following suggestions have been made
by the engineers in relation to Maine harbor
improvements
Bath Harbor-The most important remain
ing to be done is the removal of the sunken
lodges from the channel north and east of
Marsh Island; recommended that $1,000 of the
appropriation be used for the removal of the
most important of these lodges. Other mis-
ceilaneous work will also be completed.
Belfast Harbor-It is reported that to make
the present Improvements permanent it Will
probably become necessary to build a stone
jetty out from the north shore of the harbor,
SO as to divert the force and direction of the
tidal currents upon the dredged areas, and by
their securing effects prevent the reformation
of the shoal The estimated cost of rubble
stone ietty is $4,000. AS the appropriation
for the present year is only $4,000 it is recon-
mended that work be not commenced until the
appropriation of next year is available.
Richmond Island Harbor-To complete the
breakwater 5000 tons more of rubble stone will
be required. 1t is estimated that with the
$4,000 appropriated this year, $500 tons of stone
can be purchased and delivered.
Lubec Channel-It is recommended that
the bid of Moore & Wright for dredging be &C.
cepted as they are the only bidders.
