Two of General Gordon's Anec-
dOfaes
Monroe Advertiser. I


With all the Generals gayety and imagina-
ton, he is and always has been sincerely pi-
GUS man, and never went into an engagement
that he did not ask Divine assistance and favor.
Once, however, he almost lost his gravity at
prayers held ON the eve of a battle--the battle
OF the Wilderness One Of the common soldiers
was called on to pray, and men could pray at
such times, knowing that within the next hour
or two one or more of them must be lying in
the dust On this occasion the soldier began:
so Lordl thou knowest we are about to engage
in terrible conflict, if you take proper view
of the subject" At this time the hearers lost
their gravity, and fought the battle of the Will
derness with their internal spirits giggling all
the way through.
At another time, when Gordon was about to
lead an attack at Petersburg, he and General
Heth and some others went into little school
room on the lines to pray Sol Heth, the Gen.
erals brother and adiutant-general, who was
always on the lookout for drink, was standing
little way off, and Henry Peyton, one of Cen
eral Lees staff, beckoned him to come to the
house and join them. Sol did not understand
their object, but totally misconceiving it, held
up his canteen and shaking it said, mo, L
thank you; I've just got hold of some"

Rernhardt,s Marriage.

The marriage of Sarah Bernhardt is very nat
urally filling the English papers with gossip,
and the suddenness with which the news burst
upon London has quite taken its breath away.
for apparently the utmost secrecy had been
maintained. The ceremony took place at st.
Andrews church, Wells street, in the parish
of st. Marylebone, on the morning of the 4th,
and was performed by the assistant curate. Da-
mala, it is found, had been living in lodgings
nsak Ry f9k s4M Ting hgt bgi6Pe rvs fah
som cabs drove up to the church doors at 1890
a. M, one containing Damala and Bernhardt,
and the other man and woman, friends Of the
parties, and these two, with the verger of the
church, were the only witnesses of the mar
rage. Bernhardt was clad in ordinary street
dress, with long, cloSe-ftting seal-skin cloak.
When the curate was about to begin the cere-
mony, it was found that Damala had left the
license at his lodging, and it had to be sent for.
By this time il was near the hour of mornin
prayer, and the marriage had TO be gone
through with on gallop. The service of the
English church was used, and both parties
made their responses in English, though Dam
ala hardly understood the language we'll enough
to know what he was saying. The four rode
off as unostentatiously as they came, but in q
little while Bernhardt sent back for copy of
the register, which she had forgotten. That
afternoon she visited the Gaiety Theatre with
her manager, as if nothing had happened, to
talk about her engagement there next June;
and in the evening she and Damala started for
the continent, on their way to Barcelona, where
both played few nights later. Bernhardt
was announced to play at Nice, the night after
the wedding, and had chartered steamer and
train to take her there but the delay in the
service made it impossible, and she telegraphed
back that she was not well enough to appear.
Some doubt has been expressed as to the valid
ty of the marriage, but 1t is found to be strict
ly legal in England at least, Damala having
lived long enough in the parish to conform to
the law. There is, however, said to be reason
for doubling the validity of the marriage in
France, though on what ground is not appar-
emit. Very little is yet known about Damala,
except that he is handsome man of 35-ten
years younger than his wife-and was attached
to the Greek embassy at Paris. He first
met Bernhardt last August, and fell in love
with her at once. He sought her out, and told
her that he wanted to become an actor. Bern
hardt heard him recite part of Camille"
and engaged him at once, and he played minor
parts for a time under the name of Daria By
and by Angelo had a misunderstanding with
Bernhardt and left the company and Damala
was promoted to his parts. What the course
of their courtship was nobody knows and ap-
parently nobody had suspected any such ten
der relations between the two till the marriage
announced it.

The Candidate for Governor.
RIVERSIDE, April 20, 1882.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is evident that the Democrats and Green
hackers are secretly at work doing all they can
to elect their candidate for Governor the COM
ing fall. Ii the Republicans go to work in
earnest, bring out the right man in the right
section, the good old State of Maine will once
more be in the front rank of Republican States.
I think the people are looking for the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, to be taken west
of the Kennebec. We are not limited for good
men for the important place; every section of
the State has them. think the wishes of the
people would be to see the Hon. w. W. Thorn
as, Jr. selected as their standard bearer. and
there can be no reasonable doubt but he would
be elected by en- old fashioned Republican ma
jority. The benefit he has rendered to the
State, his sterling worth, his honesty and in
tegrity to Republican principles commend him
to large majority of the good people of this
State. r.

Mr.. S. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess
Co.. N. Y. the son of Mr.. E. S. Hicks, whose name
may have appeared in this journal in connection
with article similar to this was, like his father
afflicted with Stone in the Bladder, only that his
case was more serious than his fathers. On the
appearance of the disease the father advised the
son to write to DR.. David Kennedy, of RondoEt,
N. T. who, he said would tell him what to do. DR..
Kennedy replied, suggesting the use of "Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy which had worked so success
fully in the fathers case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been
assured by the local physicians that they could do
nothing more for him, tried "Favorite Remedy at
a venture. After two weeks use of it he passed
stone ~ of an inch long and of the thickness of
pipe-stem Since then he has had no symptoms of
the return of the trouble. Here is a sick man
healed What better results could have been
pected? What greater benefit could medical science
confer? The end was gained; that's surely enough.
DIR. Kennedy assures the public, by a reputation
which he cannot afford to forfeit or imperil, that
the "Favorite Remedy does invgorate the Blood,
cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder complaints, as
well as all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar

Our Shipping interests.

The often repeated allegation that the de-
cay of American shipping. is due to the pro-
tective tariff of 1861 and the assertion that
our shipping can be revived by the unre-
stricted purchase and registry of foreign yes
sells, were vigorously met and successfully
refuted by Mr.. Dingley in the House Thurs
day in the course of the debate on the tariff
commission. He showed that the decline
began under a free trade tariff, that of 1916,
and made itself decidedly manifest as early
as 1856. 1t was measurably due to the great
change wrought in ocean tonnage by the in
vention of the propeller and compound en-
CINE to steamships. Following upon that
change came the civil war. during which the
Anglo-C Confederate cruisers had dealt de-
structive blow to our ocean tonnage, and
had swept from the sea one third of our yes-
sells.
The policy proposed by the free-traders,
that of allowing the purchase and American
registry of foreign built ships, he declared to
be suicidal, and asserted that it would sound
the death knell of the American shipping
industry. No nation had ever maintained its
commercial supremacy unless it built its
own ships, and any real remedy must con-
template the protection of our shipbuilding
interests. Ninety per cent of the cost of a
vessel consisted in the labor employed, and
only ten per cent was attributable to the ma
terial. Nothing could materially reduce the
cost of ship except the reduction of the
wages of labor The real difficulty was not
so much in the first cost of the vessels as
the expense of running them. He then pro-
ceeded to epumerate the burdens which
were imposed on American shipping, declar-
ing that the system of consular fees, compul-
sorry pilotage, the hospital tax and the law
which imposed an unlimited liability for
damages upon the American ship owner
were unjust determinations against the
commerce of the country.
The remedies Mr.. Dingley suggested are
these: Remove the burdens imposed on our
a different condss % as low
tax on our shl england did on
hers, give our steamships the same aid that
England gives hers in the matter of the mail
contracts, and, in short, make our naviga-
ton system one of protection and encourage
ment. Then, as he says, American vessels
will speedily regain the prominent place
they once held on the ocean.

wildering. 1t is enough to make one think
that the man must have been misrepresent-

THE nomination of Hon. Nathan Cleaves
to supplant Judge Libbey on the Supreme
Bench of Maine is an exceedingly adroit
move on the part of his very shifty Excel
lency, Governor Plaisted. There is nobody
of the other party whom the Republicans
would more delight to honor than Judge
Cleayes. He is suitable for the place,
good lawyer and most agreeable gentle
man. 1t will be very hard for the Council
to withhold assent from his appointment,
and this is the exact reason for his nomina-
ton. The willy Governor would not have
attempted to rebuke Judge Libbey for the
anti-steal opinions by the elevation of a gen
tleman who was equally emphatic in his
condemnation of the scoundrels who at
tempted the State steal in 1S79-S0, except
that such nomination would prove particu-
larly embarrassing to the Council. What
view of the case that body will take remains
to be seen. We are glad to put on record
our testimony to the personal worth and
legal attachments of Judge Cleaves.

TILE Toronto Globe thinks the office of
lieutenant governor of Dominion province,
corresponding to State governor here, is
almost useless and altogether too expensive.
1t says: Sin Ontario the governor receives
$4,000 out of the federal purse; it cost the
provinces an additional $4,000 to $4,000 a
year for his assistants and keeping Gov
eminent Eouse in order; the original cost OF
Government House was over 100000, and
since that large sums have been laid out up
on it. And then there is the block of land
where Government House is erected, worth
anything from 5000, 900 to $500, 0O0."

IT is an encouraging fact that Mexico al
ready buys American goods to an amount
fifty per cent. greater than it buys British
goods, and our total trade with Mexico is
double that of Great Britain. The value of
the cotton, iron and wood manufactures
sent from the United States is nearly equal
to the gross exports of Great Britain to Mex
leo. This business is largely of recent orr
gin, to be increased as the commercial con-
quest of the country proceeds by means of
the vast railroad enterprises now being
pushed by American capitalists.

THERE are two kinds of reticent men
the reticent man who is silent and the reti-
cent man who talks. President Arthur is
one of the latter kind. Perhaps his most

the rapidity and apparent freedom with
which he talks, while at the same time he
avoids with the greatest skill the expression
of his opinion on points on which he does
not care to commit himself.
