f. b. WASHBURNE.
A Pen-Picture of a Distinguished Man now
i'm this CITY

Ex-senator F.. b. Washburne is in the city.
He arrived this morning from New Orleans
and is staying at the Hotel Maverick. His mis-
sion sOcly for the benefit of his health and
he may stay here some time. In the course of
an interview this m1T.ling he declined to speak
on any of the subjects now engrOsSing the at
tcntion of the public and declared that he had
permanently retired from the political arena
His attention, he said would be devoted en-
tircly to his health, which had been impaired by
bronchial affection. His visit had nothing at
al to do with politics and he knew nothing
on the subject. save what he had CLEANED from
the newspapers,
Mr.. Washburn was here in 1873 and delivered
an address on Paris during the reign or the
Commune, while he was United States minis
ter to France In appearance ran he is of about

His smooth-shayen face and white hair give
him patriarchial air. This hair, by-thc-way,
seems as stih as bristles. Like wig would, it
fringes his neck, and each hair appears at an
angle from those next to it: But Mr.. Wash

firm chin and the massive Notwithstanding

peculiar to Jefferson. jackson and others who
were noted for their clrcfuness of speech
Altogether Mr.. Washburne's appearance con-

added to by his atiability. There is something

HALLOwELL.

The quarterly session of the trustees of
the Maine Industrial School for Girls was
held at the office of the manager and treas
urer in Hallowell on Wednesday. and the an
nual routine business was transacted. The
institution was found to be in very prosper
Gus condition, and the girls appeared to be in
the enjoyment of perfect health and content
ment. The demand for admission greatly
exceeds the capacity of the building for ac-
commodation, and the necessity for speedy
and substantial aid in raising the balance of
the funds for the erection of new
school building is painfully apparent
to those most familiar with the press
ing wants of the school. Mrs. NJ. A.
Sargent of Augusta, one of the committee ap-
pointed at former meeting to solicit funds
for the erection of new building, reported
second donation of $1,000 fiom Mrs.
Mary 7. Erskine of China, whose interest in
the institution is demonstrated by heartfelt
sympathy and practical philanthropy. 1t is
to be hoped that before the next meeting of
the trustees. other members of the committee
may be able to report Ike success with
Mrs. Sargent and that the desired fund NAV
all be available for immediate use. R.
