Honor to a FORMER Portland Man,

Captain John P. Wales was formerly captain
of the 18th U. S. Regulars, stationed at Fort
Preble, and resided here for some time after
the war. H. married one of the Portland
belles-Miss Nellie Woodland they took up
their residence in Wilmington, Delaware,
whore he resumed the practice of his profess
sion, that of surgeon-dentist. Wilmington has
just gone through an exciting municipal cleo
tion, and DIR. Wales has been elected Mayor by
the Republicans, after ten years unbroken
Democratic rule.i The Wilmington News says
After the returns had all come in, and the
Republican victory was assured, the Young
Mems Republican Club fell into line, four
abreast, and proceeded to DR.. Wales house,
at Eighth and King streets. A bonfire was
started, and the crowd called for the "next
mayor" Dr. Wales appeared upon his steps,
and in a few we'll chosen words expressed his
deep gratitude at the victory achieved.
H. Q. Conrad, Esq. was loudly called for and
responded at once in a happy speech of con-
gratulations. Levi @. Bird, ESQ., was next
called for, and made rousing speech to men
who 'fought for their victory" At the con-
clrsion of his speech he introduced Anthony
Higgins, Esq, who, after warmly congratulat-
ing his friends on the victory admonished
them to use it wisely. Remarks were also
made by TIeasurer-elect J. Elbridge Pierce,
Col. S. A. Macallister, and John G. Baker
After this the crowd dispersed quietly, and Dr.
Wales entertained few of his friends who
remained.

Feeling Tribute to a Brunswick Musician.

So never to the desert-worn
Did fount bring freshness deeper
Than that his placid rest this morn
Has brought the sbroudsd sleeper.
That rest may lap his weary head
Where charnels choke the city,
Or where, mid woodlands, by his bed
The wren shall wake its ditty;
But near or far while evenings star
Is dear to hearts regretting,
Around that spot admiring thought
Shall hover, unforgetting.
All who knew Tony Frank, while residing
ia Brunswick, respected him for his manly
worth, his generous temper, and fully appreci-
ated his fine musical skill and taste. Those
who knew him more intimately in his business
relations, (for years he led the band attached
to Forepaugh's circus when on its travelling
trips,) have only words of kind remembrance
of the man and the musician. 1t was with
feeling akin to that which is SO beautifully ex-
pressed in the lines above quoted, which
prompted people attached to Nathans & Col
wins circus, including the two bands, to visit
the cemetery on Saturday evening and pay a
tender mark of respect at the grave of Mr.. .
Frank.
The colored band played dirge, and then
Mr.. ID. G. Coombs, a member of the company,
read brief address. in which loving tribute
was paid to the memory of the deceased friend
After this the gentleman repeated the Lords
Prayer, the audience joining with the speaker.
Another dirge was performed, and the simple
exercises were over.
The testimony was worthily bestowed, and
by class of persons, of whom the unrefect-
ing too often speak as mere wanderers. But
zone touch of nature makes US all akin," and
the wider we roam the more endearing be-
come the delights of home, the livelier the
recOllections of the friends Of earlier days.

Leaders in the House.

For long time Maine has had the enviable
reputation of furnishing the leaders in the Ma
tional Hoyse of Representatives. Every one
remembers the time when the wise legislation
of the country was more directly due to Mr..
Blaine than to any other one man. When Mr..
Blaine was elected to the Senate. Maine still
held the front rank in the House, in the per-
son of Mr.. Halo, who was ably seconded BY
Mr. Frye nor did the reputation of the State,
as mother Of eaders, suffer in their hands.
They, in turn, ave been called to seats in the
Senate and az i Maine holds the front rank
in the persons Of Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Dingley.
From all parts OF the country the concession is
made that MIR. Reeds strength in debate, his
acurate knowledge in parliamentary tactics,
his commanding presence and his genial
nature, have already won for him the position
of leader in the House. In the short time that
Mr.. Dingley has been in Congress, he has
taken front rank, both as a clear and forcible
debater and an earnest and diligent worker in
all matters of legislation pertaining to the in
terests Of the country
