lister of foreign affairs, replying in the Senate
today to q question by Due de Broglie, Oleanist

tablishing blockade in Addsmese waters, but
France would certainly do SO ii any other pow
er should supply AMMAN with arms and am
munition Treduc had not declared war
against France, on the contrary he had avowed
respect for existing treaties between France
and AMMAN. M. Challemel Lacour believed it
untrue that Treduc had asked the assistance OF

Fryeburg Academy.

AlbertF Richardson, A. M, has been chosen
preceptor Of Fryeburg Academy for term of
years from large number Of applicants. Mr..
Richardson has been principal of the high
school in Bridgton for more than ten years,
and with his past success and his present popu-
iarity he could retain his place indefinitely, or,
occupy still higher positions which have been
recently rendered him; but as former pupil
of the Academy, and as graduate of Bowdoin
College, his loyalty to both institutions induces
him to take charge of this newly chosen fitting
school for the College, in order that he may
aid in promoting their united prosperity.
Candidates for admission to the College, who
fit at this school, will hereafter be examined
at the Academy, instead of the College as
formerly. Mr.. Richardson's position as trus-
tee of the State Normal Schools, and his fa-
miliarity with their approved methods of in
struction, will be of great service to the stu
dents In his own normal classes.
The fall term will begin on Wednesday,
September 9th, and continue twelve weeks
Although this institution has now reached its
ninety-first year, it may be regarded as only
entering upon young and vigorous manhood.

William Widgery.

10 We E0f0T o. tHe fTeSS.
At the "Thomas banquet" Gen. Mattocks
made the statement that the Hon. William
widgery was the only member of Congress
from New England who voted In favor Of the
war OF 1872. This is not in accord with the
facts. The yeas and nays upon that question
show that the Hon. Samuel Shaw Of Vermont
and Francis Carr OF Me- sssachusetts voted aye
with Mr.. Widgery. Mr.. Carr lived in Bangor,
believe, and his son, Hon. James Carr, was
in Congress from the same district later.
That Mr.. Widgery was actuated by the most
exalted motive none who understand the situ-
alton of his prorarty at that time can doubt
He endured not only great loss of wealth by
his vote, but what was worse, the hatred and
abuse Of his neighbors. Time has shown the
correctness Of his Judgment. w. Fl. S.

The Hanlan.Ross Race.

Courtney says, in regard to Ross defeat:
Ross boat was insufficiently rugged. There
was too long slide 10 the seat, which had the
effect of cramping the oarsman's lower limbs
and also of causing the percepible backward
jerk to the boat itself at each recover. The
wind sail was practically useless on account of
its diminutive size in the breeze that prevailed,
and this explains Ross complaint that his
right wrist gave out in the second mile an
extra effort being required on that side to
steady tho craft in the prevailing wind and
current. Another Of his reasons is that Ross
had been compelled to do his hard work with
in recent period, and was consequently COM
paratvely tired before he started.

The Washington Post says: "The only dip
lomats left in Washington-the hot weather
diplomats, so to speak-are the Chinese.
They seem to like the sun-they are like
sunfowers, whichever way the sun is they
turn their faces. In their gay-colored smock
frocks, pantalets, and pettcoats of wind
tangling sea-grass material, they scud down
the Avenue like fleet of junks under full
sail, just in time to catch the IL o'clock sun
in their faces, and return to catch 1t on the
other tack. They seldom ride; they prefer
walking. They walk out four or half doz-
en- in company, and straggle down the street,
never keeping together in their walk, but
scattering themselves all over the pavement.
They are true philosophers, however They
think everything was made for something,
and If the sun was not made to enjoy, what
was it made for? They proceed to enjoy it,
and they never say anything which you
might interpret to mean that it is hot "

James M. Edwards & Son, on the corner of
Portland and High streets, and stole 200 cigars,
fifteen pounds of tobacco and $2 or So in
change. They also entered the store Of Plum
mer - Chase, on the corner of Paris and Port
land streets, and stole about 100 cigars, some
candy and small amount Of money. The
