MIR. LooKE's SPEECH.

Mr.. President:
lem sorry His Excellency, the Governor is
not present. as has been expected he would be
until within few minutes, to respond for the
State on this occasion.
AS citizens of Maine we feel proud of our State
and her position among her sister States as an
integral part OF this nation. We feel proud of
her agriculture, her manufactures, her trade.
her commerce and her:wealt h. TheIindustry of her
people and her financial integrity are proverbial,
While we may not possess the fertile soil of the
sunny South or the far off West, we have soil
which returns to honest labor a fair and sure re.
ward, and to us as peoplesit gives something
more. 1t gives us men and women enured from
childhood to habits of frugality and industry;
HABITS which when once acquired fit them for
usefulness and future success in all the paths of
life whether at home or abroad.
Our manufactures are heavy and yearly in
creasing, our commerce is prosperous and grow
ing rapidly, and besides the sails of our mer-
chantmen are seen upon every ocean, sea and
gulf, and within every harbor and port of the
known world. Our system of education is equal
to any in the world. l remember on one occa-
sion when teacher in our High school in Port
land, that an Englishman visited the school, l
took him through the different rooms, and snent
some time with him in several of the classes
After being in the school about hour and
half, he said to me sand is all this free to the
children OF the poor man, as well as OF the rch?'
/ answered "yes." "How wonderful he exclaim.
ed. Thus 1t Is, that foreigners visiting our
schools are impressed with our system of educa-
ton, and returning home, are endeavoring to
inangurate the same among their people.
With such people, and such prosperity, with
good government, one that will stand the test
and be maintained against all assaults and
schemes OF visionary men, that may be brought
against it. While such is our condition at home
we have reason to feel proud of our standing
and reputation In the nation and abroad.
Our sons are scattered throughout every state
in this natiou-holding positions of honor and
trust, from the highest within the gift of the
people down through the scale. Even Massa-
chusetts has been obliged to take an Andrew
and Long from the sons of Maine to serve her
as Governors. Should you look into the halls of
Congress, what ADLER men will you find upon the
foor of the Senate House than Maine has
sent. Should you look over the names of those
holding portfolios in the Cabinet, you will find
Maine represented by men of sterling Integrity
and ability. Should you look over the list Of
United States consuls and ministers abroad you
will still find that the sons tof Maine have ire
quently held those portfolios with honor to
themselves and credit to their country.
Hence say we have reason to feel proud of
our state and her people, and | doubt not that
the good name Maine now holds will grow
brighter and brighter in the future.
To the toast "The Mayor of Portland"
Mayor Deering tersely responded in the fol-
lowing fitting remarks:

THE JAPANESE HE'LL.

From the descriptions have seen of the
Buddhist place of torment as delineated
by the aid of the artists conceits, they be-
lieve in actual torments of horrible char
acter in recompense for an evil life, though
just what they consider deadly sins is to
the affian5 as yet unknown. | have had,
through the courtesy Of friend who has
a collection of rare curios, the opportunity
of looking at series of nine Kakemonos,
formerly belonging to some temple in the
interior, which depict the horrid state that
awaits the condemned on the other side of
the river. The first in order of these nine
paintings is the central one, the other eight
thanking it, four on each side. This simply
represents the persons of four priests,
clothed ia their sacred robes, seated on
separate divans. Two are in advance Of
the other two. One of them holds in his
hand package resembling a closed book /;
another has in his right hand bead
rosary !; the third one has his hands
palm to palm, as if in prayer, while the
fourth one holds in his left hand two
feathers, and in the right is grasped
a double. ended trident. As my friend did
not have the key to the significance of his
treasure, / am unable to give it. On the
right hand of the top of this Kakemono is
mass of clouds, and on the left water
scene, with the sacred Mountain Full Yams,
in the distance. The other eight paintings
are ali devoted to showing the various
modes of punishment inflicted by the
demons of most revolving aspect. Horned
devils and hoofed ones-devils of all colors,
but all most beastly devils-are portrayed
as inhabiting a range OF Jagged mountains,
full of rent and chasm and deep abyss,
into which they are driving the reckless
ones, who crouch and shiver in their naked
ness. Each of these eight pictures repre-
sent mitred priest sitting in Judgment,
on either hand standing an attendant, and
in front of his dais are the crouching sup
plants for his favor. There is on some of
them grinning devil in waiting TO receive
in charge the doomed. One gives view
of demon, from his seat in his cave,
blowing a stream of fire from his mouth
and nostrils upon the victims that other
devils are driving into his place.
