with an artists eye, he soon gained the
well earned name of being one of the best

youth, as son OF my fathers sister. /

my instructor, and my seyenty-eighth
birthday with him, when We both needed

faith in Gods Holy Word.

Wadsworth Longfellow, as an enduring
expression OF admiration and love for the
illustrious man and poet, in remembrance
of the affection which he cherished for the
scenes of his youth and of the honor with
which his life and genius have crowned
his native city aud State.
IL would be a strange neglect OF beau
tiful and approved custom. both OF ancient
and OF mo6ern times, If tho traveller, Ia
miliar with the poets life aud works, with
the sculptures which preserve his face and
figure and attest his fame and influence III
other cities and lands, were 10 find, at his
birth place, no worthy memorial of him.
The clear perception of au imperative
duty In this respect, as well as common
interest in the subject, have led TO the
formation of the Loagfcllow Statute Asso-
citation.
The statute, which II will erect will be
of artistic excellence, an honor 10 the city
and the State, a source OF interest and
pleasure To all.
The organization OF the association IS
now completed, aud contributions to its
funds are invited from the people of Maine

A Bachelors Love Romance-The Buff
falo Girls After Him.
Buffalo Letter to The New York Journal.
Governor. elect Cleveland just now
is the most interesting parsonage in
Buffalo. The men ell admire him;
everybody on the streets stops him
and says, "How are you GOVERNOR
L congratulate you on your great sue.
CESS" The women are still more
enthusiastic; no mau 30 lovely as Gov.
Cleveland was ever seen before. He
is an old bachelor who has eschewed
society all his life; why, has been the
theme of the gosslps for years past.
Somebody has started the usual
sterotyped story about an unfortunate
love affair, followed by a disappoint-
ment and a broken heart, q resolution
never to marry and that general sen
timental smash-up which is supposed
to accompany an unrequited affection.
However this may be, 1t is certain
that Gov. Cleveland's farm has not
wasted away under this canker sup
posed to be gnawing at his heart.
He is, perhaps, next to congressman
elect Dorsheimer, the finest and state.
lest looking politician of New York,
Unlike Mr.. D~orseheimer, Gov. Cleve-
land only weighs 221, but there is
something undescribably portly about
his ma estic form which gives you the
impression of much greater weight.
The governor is 4G years old, and a
man at 4G is usually considered as
having been wanting in his dlty to-
wards society if he has not taken q
wife to his bosom. II is not the fault
OF the Buffalo beiles if Governor
Cleveland is still a bachelor, for they
have been setting their caps at him
ever since he became sheriff Of the
county, with an income of $50, 600
per year, of which he saved $40, 900.
The governor is probably the moEt
economical man who v o entered the
executive mansion at Albany, and
when he ia president we may see such
an era of economy and retrenchment

able President Cleveland to retire

The Only "FeIler" on His Side.

Peck's Bun.
Judge Davis ussd TO tell some ad.
mirable stories of an old Illinois
judge, one of which we chance par
ricular]y to remember. One Of the
judges was rather remarkable for con.
veying to jurors in his charge to them
his own opinions with regard to the
merits of the case. Iu ono case he
had done 30 with great plsinnese, but,
to his amazement, the jury hung out
for hours without coming to Az agyeo-
ment. The judge inquired OF the
bailitf what was the matter, and
learned from him that one Juror was
hanging out against the other eleven.
He Oent for the jury at once, aud
stating to tho jurors that he had
plainly intimated how the case ought
to be decided, and he understood one
juror was standing out against the
other eleven, he proceeded TO rebuke
the juror sharply. Tho obstinate
juror ~aa a little man, aud
as soon as the judge was done he
rose and said: Judge, may 1 say a
woroY'
"Yes, sir" said the indignant judge:
"Wbat have you to say?"
"Well, what l wanted to gay is,
I am the only Teller that's on your
side"

However, as there aro several very

thus prepare his way fer tho fulfil

is still regarded as not at all unlikely
that political success will soon be we'd

How Il Harvest Home Festival Was
Celebrated.

In a little suburban village near
Now York, there was q harvest festi.
val recently, in which many fashiona.
BILE ladies took part, and this is the
way they decorated the church. They
dressed tho font with white clematis
and pyracoulhes berries and placed
two sheaves Of corn by the entrance.
They filed tho windows with little
sheaves of corn, relieving tho spaces
with scarlet and blue flowers and white
marguerites. Small apples and leaves
were disposed of about the lectern, at
the foot of which was a group of large
marrows and fruit intersperaed with
beet root and the feathory foliage of
carrots. Poles of hops, just as they
came from the garden we're placed
against the wall, from which sprang
the ehancel arch, and long trails of
blackberries dropped from tho cupi.
lots. The pulpit was dressed with
corn and scarlet and blue flowers. A
sheaf of corn stood on each side of tho
entrance to the chancal and there wau
on each aide of the lower step to the
altar two sheaves of wheat. Laurel
wreaths crowned the reredos, aud the
altar was decorated by q line of white
grapes, corn and bouquets of corn and
scarlet. This outdoss the thanksgiv-
ing decorations of Talmaga's taber-
nacle on Thanksgiving day. 1t is not
generally known that Talmage has Il
stock of properties His sexton ig his
property man, and he has in his keep
ing q number Of things intended for
the setting of the gymnastic preachers

aud mineral specimens come forth
year by year. This year there 10 to
