Mail Facilities for Oastine.
CAsTINE, Dec. 8, 1888.


Editor Of the american:
Too little public notice has been taken Of
the Inconvenience which the discontinuance
of the FIVE p. NJ. train on the Bueksport
railroad has caused in this neighborhood.
After much difficulty We had succeeded in
getting our mail schedules so arranged that
We bad tolerably convenient connection with
the trains as they had run for several years
under the management Of Mr.. Lincoln.
About two months ago, without previous
notice, and apparently without care or con-
sideration for connections, that train was
taken of and replaced by one that connect
ed with nothing and threw our mails out Of
joint, making them often nearly twenty four
hours on the way to Bangor, and practically
delaying them day in the passage to Bos-
ton Recently the Postoffice Department
has ordered earlier times Of starting, giving
US connection indeed the same day-but on
ly by leaving at inconvenient hours-the
same as when the whole distance to Bangor
was made by stage, and unnecessarily delay
ing our mails there several hours. Travel.
which would be inclined to take the land
route, at least in winter, is diverted from it
by this delay and the early start required.
If We again go through the painful process
of securing the best possible sche Jules to
connect with the present trains, we have no
security that another change will not be
made by the railroad in few months which
will again leave US out in the cold.
Much opposition has been expressed in
many quarters to tie proposed lease Of the
Eastern Railroad By the Boston 4 Name,
on the ground that it would put the Maine
Central into the hands of foreign corpora
ton, which would be regardless OF the in
terests and convenience of the people of this
state. In this matter the Maine Central has
shown disregard for the convenience of a
large part of the travelling community here
abouts, and of some twelve thousand people
Of Hancock county. which il is not probable
any so-called foreign corporation would ex-
ceed. G. II. W.

Washington Letter.

For the past two weeks, Washington has
come back her winter residents. Every
body" accompanied by wife, daughter, sister,
or niece is here and the season is fairly IN
augura,ed. Monday, the day Oh which Con-
gress met was perfect DAY. 1t was cooler
than many since have been but clear and
bright. and before eleven o'clock A. NJ, every
seat open to the public, in the galleries of
both House and Senate was occupied, while
crowds filed the corridors and ihronged
each doorway, each intent on securing
place that would afford him a glimpse of the
new members.
AT 1l:3O the Senate Chamber presented
busting scene Nearly all the members
were on the floor exchanging greetings and
congratulations, and pages were dartlng IN
and out bringing to the more popular Sena-
tors baskets and bouquets of flowers from
their admirers. Some of these floral trib-
utes were of novel design. On Senator In
gals desk lay floral sword, its blade COM
posed of blood-red flowers, which suggested
the query "Who is Ingalls, going for now ?"
Mr.. Blair was the recipient Of a choice
basket of flowers from the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. large cornucopia
was sent to Gen. Ransom. and the desk of
Mr.. Riddleberger was literally covered with
flowers. Senators Harris, Maxey, Camden,
Laphar, voorhees,, Malone were not for
gotten by their friends. At - o'clock the
Senate was called to order by Acting Vice
President Edmunds, and prayer was offered
by Rev. DR.. Bullock, after which the new
Senators were sworn in-the republi-
cans first. the democrats next and the indie
pendent, Mr.. R:ldleberger, last. Resolu-
tions were then agreed to notifying the Pres
ident and House of Representatives that the
Senate is ready for business.
The corridors leading to the House were
packed and every seat in the gallery occu-
pied long before clerk Mcpherson raped
the House to order and proceeded to call
the roll. Three hundred and sixteen men,
bers responded to their names. Nomina-
tions for Speaker we're then in order, and sf-
ter the election of Mr.. Carlisle he was es-
cortex. to the chair by Messrs. Randall and
Kiefer. On entering the House he was
greeted hy loud applause and responded in
i. brief address. Several floral offerings
adorned the desk Of the new Speaker, one
Of which is described in the Ercning Star
