portland Society Of Art.

The collection Of American portraits now
on exhibition at the rooms of the Portland So
ciety Of AIT, numbers about three hundred
specimens. They have been collected chiefly
for their interest to students Of history and BIZ
ography, and more especially to those interest
ed in the political, civil and literary history OF
this State. Among the early engraved por-
traits are the copperplate portraits done by j.
Norman in Boston, about 1865. ContraSted
with these are the fine engravings done for the
U. s. Government at the Bureau Of EngraV-
ing, in Washington. Three interesting exam
pies of fine work in portrature are the crayon
full length portrait of Mr.. Ryan, Of Boston, by
Johnston; the etching Of Mr.. Hart, Of Phila-
delphia, by Mr.. Stephen Ferris, (who is by the
way native of Maine), and the fine line and
stipple head of Longfellow, by Williams Of
Boston There is also fine etching of Forrest
as the Gladiator, by Hall, Of New York. The
collection will remain but three days longer.

LIE rwo UTILIZATION.

After brief and brilliant introduction rela-
ting to the selection Of Memorial Day on
which TO honor the memory OF the fallen
heroes the orator stated 1t was very signif-
cant fact that about the ever memorable year
1920 two distinct and entirely opposite Systems
OF civilization and development were planted
on our American shores; the landing of the
Dutch ship at Jamestown in 1919 with twenty
slaves on board who were sold into seryitudo
to THE colonsts, and four months after the
landing of the Pilgrims on the bleak New
England scoast with as brave and deyout a
band Of men and women as ever went forth TO
subdue and settle the earth in any time or
place. The orator then proceeded to show
how those two institutions developed and
flourished, slave labor and its fruits on the one
hand, carrying with it great wealth and poll.
teal Influence, and Northern thrift on the
other and yet owing 20 the Constitution the
South had q relatively larger representation
than thu North in Congress. Then grew up
that noble class Of men, led by Ggrrison and
Phillips, Whe, in decided political minority,
prepared to agitate until slavery was abolished,
since they saw its power and abhofrsd 1t.
There was another class OF political anti
slavery reformers and statesmen, such as Sal
mon 7. Chase VIM. III. Seward, Joshua II.
Giddings, Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson,
John G.. Whittier, James Appleton, Samuel
Fessenden, John L. Hale, Horace Greeley,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, John A. Andrew,
William Pitt FessendeB, HANNIBAL Hamlin
aud many others, as grand aud true set Of
men as any OF our Revolutionary statesmen.
These labored In the political field for many
years by Constitutional METHODS, and were
prominent in 'the sharp conflicts and heated
discussions Of the days of strife" which pre-
coded the war.
The speaker then proceeded to Etouch upon
the main features OF the great reformatory and
political struggle which for some years pieced-
ed and led up to the conflict Of arms; the an
nexatiOn OF Texas in 1916; the great agitation
OF 1850, including the fugitive slave act; and
the abrogation OF the Missouri ompromise.
The formation Of the Republican party in 1855
was dwet upon, whose doctrine was the non-
extension OF slavery into territory then free.
The precipitating cause Of the war was the
breaking up OF the Democratic party and the
utter refusal Of the extreme S0utherners Of
that period to eoncede anything whatever to
the North. Then came the election Of Lincoln
which was the pretext by the South for seces-
sion, dsunion and rebellion.
III this connection, said the speaker, will
mention o very singular circumstance, as

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
1t runs from a point on the Gulf OF
Liantung, an arm of the Gulf of Pc
chilli in Northwestern China, westerly
to the Yellow river, thence makes a
great bend to the south for nearly 1OC
miles, and then runs to the northwest
for several hundred miles to the Des.
ert of Cobb. It's length is variously
estimated to be from 1850 to 1906
miles. For the most of this distance
1t runs through mountainous coun.
try, keeping on the ridges, and winding
over many of the highest peaks. In
some places it is only formidable
rampant, but most of the way it is
composed of lofty walls of masonry
and concrete, or impacted lime and
clay, from twelve to sixteen feet in
thickness, and from fifteen to thirty OF
thirty-five feet in height. The top OF
this wall is paved for hundreds oil
miles, and crowned with crenallated
battlements, and towers thirty to forty
feet high. In numerous places the
wall climbs such steep declivities that
its top ascends from height to height
in flights of granite steps. An army
could march on the top Of the wall fol
weeks and even months, moving ir
some places ten men abreast.

A. correspondent of the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER says that the railroads Of
the world have grown from a, 400 miles
of road in 1910 to 249,59O miles on De-
cember 81, 1881. The system, which
in 1910 was confined to the United
States and few countries of Europe.
| is now spread to all quarters of the
globe. Of the 249,590 miles of road at
the close of 1881, North and South
America are credited with 122,1S6 !;
Europe, 108,002. The United States led
all other countries many fold, having
at that time 1O4, 1871 miles of completed
road. The second country in extent of
railroad is Germany, which had 81 ,466
miles, Great Britain coming next with
1921 miles. In the United States not
less than Il, 900 miles viii be completed
in 1882, and it is estimated that in less
than three years there will be more
