The POlVOrana

large audience attended the Polyorama
at the State street Congregational church last
evening, and appreciated the merits of it as
scientific entertainment. Professor Chandler
gave some fine illustrations of the wonders of
modern astronomy, notable among which was
one of the solar system in motion. By it all
the planets were shown as travelling around
the sun according to the fundamental laws of
the solar system, thus presenting before the
popular eye miniature of the great scheme
of worlds of which our own humble planet
forms SO insignificant a portion. This, with
the interesting views of the laws of the
heavens, was succeeded by some fine scenes
illustrating spectrum analysis Though this
science is of modern growth yet it is hercuean
in results. BY mathematics we learn the size,
distance and motions of the heavenly bodies,
but spectrum analysis reveals even the very
nature of their composition. The nliseellan
eous views were very interesting Professor
Chandler we'll deserves the great success he
meets wherever he goes

THE LOYAL LEAGUE.
An Organization that Deserves Support.

An Organizati on that Deserves Support
Tonight will be held the first annual meet
ing OF the Loyal League of Portland A lit.
tie more than year ago several gentlemen,
residents of this city, came together, moved by
a just indignation at the attempt made by
Gov. Garcelon and Council to cheat the people
OF Maine out of the results of the preceding
September election.
One meeting led to another All felt the
need OF organization. In consideration of the
state Of. affairs at Augusta and the important
issues involved in the national campaign, it
was determined to form permanent political
organization, to which the name of the LOYAL
League of Portland was given. The purposes
for which the League was formed were stated
to be:
l. For consolidating and harmonizing Re-
publican sentiment and opinion in this city,
2. For giving moral support and encourage
ment to the Representatives of the Republican
party in times of emergency.
B., For giving an opportunity for free in
terchange OF views upon the current political
topics.
4. For the entertainment of distinguished
citizens of this and other States.
That the objects of its organization might be
faithfully carried out, and suitable place for
rendezvous be always open for the use of the
Republican party whenever needed, the
League leased the very pleasant and commodi-
Gus suite OF rooms on the corner of Brown and
Congress streets and furnished them with the
leading newspapers and periodicals of the
country, and all things necessary to make the
rooms an attractive centre for political and
general news.
During the summer and fall, as every Re-
publican can testify, the League did noble ser
vice in advancing the cause of the party. AS
long as the campaign absorbed the minds of
the people the League found plenty of work to
do. But when the results of the November
election were made certain, it became appar-
ant that some new feature must be duced
into the affairs of the League to secure it from
death by inactivity. The executive commit
tee, after careful canvass of the situation,
determined to give course Of lectures. The
first of this series of lectures will be delivered
at City Hall next Wednesday evening by the
Hon. Albion W. Tourgee, author of the
"Fool's Errand,' "Bricks Without Straw"
SC. Other lectures will be given by gentlemen
equally celebrated.
Judge Tourgee has made himself so well
known by his writings that he needs no espec-
ial introduction to the people of this city.
That he will have crowded house there is
not a shadow of doubt. The tickets for the
lecture will be on sale at the League rooms to-
night and afterwards at Stockbridge's music

Aged Pensioners in Falrno nth.

AT the last quarterly payment of pensions a
justice of the peace in Falmouth visited nine
pensioners all living in that town, to take the

age, and the youngest r. Their aggregate ages
amounted to 1852 years, and the average age 81.

The following resolutions of respect to the
memory of Mr.. Brown have been passed:
In the Board of Trade Mr.. 7. G. Hersey
presented the following preamble and resolu-
tons:
Mr.. President-The business community
has never, perhaps, received such shock as
was caused by the announcement eff the fatal
injury and subsequent death of Hon. j. B.
Brown of this city, and it is due to his memory
that some testimonial should be offered by
this board. 1 present therefore the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas An all wise Providence has removed
from our midst the Hon. j. B. Brown, who was one
OF the original members of this Board of Trade
first President, holding the office for nine years,
The Portland daily press., 1881-01-13

His first partner, Mr.. Smith, was, on the other
hand, man who wanted to work every thing
out mathematically, land two such men together
could not fail to succeed. SO enterr rising was
Mr.. Brown in former years that people got an
idea into their heads that he ought to do every
thing. If q hotel was wanted, or a theatre,
or a horse railroad, it was Mr. Brown who
should build it. They seemed to forget there
were other rich men in Portland as we'll as he.
By his investments in real estate in Portland
he improved many sections Of the city, and
even up to the day he was stricken down he was
engaged in devising plans that would help
Portland, not the least of which was the es-
Enlistment here of a new elevator and wharf
property by the Grand Trunk. IT is a nota-
BILE circumstance that on Saturday Mr.. Brown,
speaking to Mr. Fassett, the architect, said
that the Lancaster building would be the last
he should build and he wanted it to be the
handsomest His loss will be severely felt,
not Immediately perhaps, but in due season,
and he was one of the men we could least
spare.
AS husband and father Mr.. Brown was one
of the kindest and most generous of men, He
was very fond of his grandchildren, nephews
and nieces. and nothing delighted him more
than to see them all happy. He rarely gave
himself a holiday till recently. He made two
trips to Europe, and as result his gallery of
paintings contained some of the finest efforts
of European artists. He was generous towards
native talent and possessed pictures by the
leading men of the Academy of Design. He
was a constant attendant at the High street
church and one of the chief donors in the
handsome testimonial to its former pastor, DR..
Chickering.

JOHN B. BROWN.
THE LAST RITES OVER THE REMAINS
Sketch Of His Life and Character.

For an hour previous to the time appointed
for the funeral services yesterday High street
church was the objective point to a large num-
Der of citizens DESTROYS of paying the ir last
tribute of respect to the memory of repre-
sentative man. At p m. the sacred edifce
was densely packed. The High street bell
tolled funeral knell, and not only the mer-
chants on Commercial street, but also the
retail trade generally throughout the city,
closed their places of business. The flags on
the public and private buildings hung at half
mast, and the Falmouth Hotel was draped in
black. Inside the church the demonstration
was remarkable one. Not only was almost
every man of any note in Portland present,
but large numbers of old employees, with their
wives and children, many of whom had prob
ably never before attended Protestant
church. The directors of the Eastern Railroad
came by special train from Boston. Bowdoin
College was represented by President Cham
berlain and Prof. Young. Bath by Arthur
Sewall and Thomas M. Reed.
The ushers at the church were James E.
Carter, Charles Davis, Jr., William H. Ander-
son and Horace Anderson. The body pews,
on the right, were reserved and occupied by
the ushers, pall-bearors, family, Maine Central
officers and directors, Eastern Railroad officers
and directors, City Government, Portland
Savings Bank, First National Bank, and other
city bank directors. The pew of Mr.. Brown,
No %, together with the pews directly in
front and in the rear were prettily festooned
by the ladies of the church with wreaths of
smiax, intertwined with white camelias and
azaleas.
At p. m. precisely the remains enclosed in
plain black casket with silver trimmings was
borne by the pall-bearers into the church.
The pall-bearers were Mayor Senter, repre-
senting the city, T. G. Hersey the Board of
Trade, S. j. Anderson the Portland & Ogdens-
bury, H. j. Libby the First National Bank,
Jacob Mcclellan the Portland Savings Bank,
j. L. Chamberlain, Bowdoin College, G. E.
B. Jackson the Maine Central, H. N. Jose the
Maine General Hospital, S. E. Spring the
Portland Company, W. w. Thomas, John
Rand and W. L. Putnam. AS the procession
entered Rev. W. II. Fem commenced the
reading of the funeral service which was con-
tinued until after the casket was placed in
front of the reading desk, the congregation
standing. The casket bore a broad silver plate

WIN. Z. CAMERON, few years ago
asked the question do you want to
break up the Conservative ascendency
in Petersburg, aud have negro police
men, and carpet bag officials, and an
irresponsible Council, and cOlored
teachers in the free schools ?"
To-day that same VIM. E. Cameron
is trying to lead an army Of $4,000 ne
groes against the willie people Of Vir-
GINA. He is dependent upon the ne
eroes for his election. The $1,000 that
voted the bogus ticket lastyear cannot
be held together. Many Of them were
deceived by the cry of the strongest
ticket and will not be deceived again.
The carpet baggers have left and ano-
Their mOnerel party are now try ing to
sohdlfy the blacks against the whites.
They can't succeed. The white people
of Virginia will not surrender Their
property, their honor, the custody o.
their families and the education Of thei,
children into The hands Of a mongrel
party composed of horde of negroes
and few white ofice-seekers.
