Mr.. Reed and the shipping Bill.

The Washington correspondent OF the Ban
gor Wing in speaking of the shipping bill
says "Mr. Reed, at several points in the dis
cussion Of the bill, contributed valuable sug
gestions, and took the lead in fighting the free
ship heresies of the Democratic side. Mr..
Reed, by the way, has grown more than any
other man in this House, and he is reputed to
be the ablest debater on the floor. His power
OF condensation is marvellous, and his ten min
ute speeches are noted for the amount Of logic
ard information condensed in them. 1t was he
who finally led in the overthrow of the free
ship cabal after they supposed they had secure
ly fasten ed themselves upon the BILL"

The Bowdoin Alumni.


The Boston Advertiser gives the following
account of the meeting of the Bowdoin Alum
nj Association of New York Friday evening;
At the business meeting which preceded the
festivities, the following officers we've elected
for the ensuing year: President, DR.. Fordyce
Barker; vise-presdents,D DR.. daniel R. Goodwin
General Foster, Mr.. e. B. Merrill, and Mr..
Curtis Jewett; treasurer, Mr.. D. A. Eaton;
secretary, James McKeene; corresponding Sec
rotary, Charles E. Soule. These gentlemen,
with about twenty-five others, sat down to a
repast of food such as Demonico alone can
give, and of vii such as Bowdoin alone can fur
nish DIR. Barker presided with his we'll
known elegance of speech and manner. On
his right sat the many titled Chamberlain
general, governor, president, ETC., and on his
left the Hon. Cullen Sawtelle and Professor
Damn, formerly of Rutgers College, both class
mates of Longfellow, Hawthorne and Abbott.
Among others, who are quietly, perhaps, but
surely carving their names on the pages of his
tory, were Professor @. f. Bracket of Prince
ton; Professor Newman Smythe of kNew Hay-
en-, not of Andover; President Daniel r. Good
win OF Trinity College; Professor Goddard Of
the chair of medical jurisprudence at Bowdoin,
anu 0ou0rhi JOnn NJ. Brown OF fOIblauu, MO.
These gentlemen responded to toasts appropri-
ately offered, among which was one to Long
fellow, Fales and Allen, this year deceased,
which was drunk in silence and standing.
Among other toasts, especially appropriate,
were "Alma Mater" responded to by Govern
or Chamberlain; :'The Pine Tree State, Diri-
go Dirigere Direxi Directum," by General
John al. Brown; Theology Progressive
Science" by DR.. Newman Smythe; sScence
the Handmade of Religion" by Professor Cy-
rus 4. Bracket, in an especially characteristic
and entertaining speech. Professor Smythe said
we demonstrate prayers In theology as dog,
enss demonstrated motion--we get up and
move. Professor Goodwin's short illustrations
of progress in the study ofllanguage were both
entertaining and instructive. This dinner WINS
not completed, as no Bowdoin dinner can be
completed, without the customary tribute to
the much-loved Professor Packard, whom
every Bowdoin graduate remembered. One
O'Clock was not late enough to drive the old
est heads from the table, and so pleasant an
evening is rarely spent by young or old.
