Edmund Hudson In the Washington
Capital.


I stopped in Albany a few hours
in order that | might pay my re-
speets to the President-elect and
see for myself what manner of man
this memorable campaign of 1884
has crowned with the greatest
of earthly honors. At o'clock
in the afternoon l found the Gov.
ernOr sitting in the vast and splen-
did Executive chamber in the new
Capitol building. How many Kings
or Emperors ever received their
subjects l wonder in such a noble
apartment as this in which the
chief ruler of the Empire State
meets his fellow-citizensi The
White House will seem to him very
poor and cheap in comparison
when he comes to occupy it. Per
haps the contrast will be great
enough to make him an earnest sd-
vocate of new Executive Man
sion, or rebuilt one at any rate.
That would be something to be
thankful for if it should happen.
The Governor sits in a cane.seat-
ed swivel chair before one of
number of large red-topped desks
the others belonging to his Sec
retaries. Troops of visitors are
constantly passing through the
chamber; and those who care to do
so walk up to him and pay their re-
spects. He asks no one to sit, but
when there are ladies in the party
he rises and shakes hands and ex.
changes few pleasant words with
them. The Governors greeting is
a apleasant one, but very simple and
with no excess of cordiality of
voice or manner. His voice, one
notices instantly, has none of the
sauve and fascinating quality Of
Mr.. Blaine's. 1t is not voice that
has been used to magnetic or at
tract men and women. 1t is not
the voice ola man who asks favors
of others, nor is it the voice Of an
orator. But there is criticism and
emphasis in it, and, while not a soft
voice, 1t is not hard nor rough.
The first impression one gets of
Gov. Cleveland 10 that he is a
young man. There is a bald place
one sees afterward that goes we'll
down on the back of his head, but
the face is the face of a man in the
freshest health; a man full of life,
who has never greatly abused him.
self nor overdrawn upon his vita
ity. Tall and stout he is, it must
be confessed, but not an obese, and
while one would not expect him
to prefer an active life, his power
of work must be enormous. He
looks like q man who could work
for twenty four hours without rest
and then begin a new days work,
If need be, with more vigor than
the average man possesses after a
good nights sleep.
In conversation the Governor
speaks with good deal of anima-
tion, and the strongest impression
one gets from him is of great firm
ness and force in adhering to o
course once it is adopted. One
would say, "Here is man, surely,
who cannot be driven, but who will
do the driving himself whenever it
is necessary" One might ask a
good deal of such man, but to
demand, should think would be a
losing game,

partment has forwarded to the
officials of that road at Milwaukee
one Of the most ingeniously con-
trlved specimens Of decoration it
was ever our privilege to see. Mr..
Moses engaged Mrs. j. NJ. Palmer,
Of this county, to prepare design |
of some kind aud decorate it with
the product of Dakota soil.
The figure was that of a lady Of
medium height and well propotion.
ed. Upon her head was a crown, the
band Of which was made of flowers
and buds, and it was about two
inches in width. Rising above the
band was a crest of grass.heads of
various kinds and collors, tasteful.
ly arranged so as to blend the diff
ferent shades, beneath which the
unbounded tresses of golden hair
hung full down to the waist, aud
were composed of fine grasses, al.
most as fine in texture as human
hair, while over the forehead the |
fastidious ''ladyn allowed her
"bangs" to drop over her eye
brows. The eyes were of hazel
color, and remarkably bright. Her
basque was made of oat straw, with
the full head Of oats on each straw,
which formed a trimming about the
bottom of the basque. Over the
shoulder dropped cape of wheat
heads. Let it be borne in mind |
that all the wheat and oat straws
were united by threads, and laid |
close one to the other, presenting |
the appearance of q closely woven
fabric. Over each shoulder was a |
spray of colored grasses, sur
mounted by an epaulet of black
sunh0wer seeds. A flchu OF fine |
colored grasses was thrown
around the neck and bound down
at the waist by belt Of gray.col.
ored sunhower seeds. She wore
o necklace and pendant of the
same kind Of seeds of natural col.
or. A boquet of light-colored tlow-
ers was pinned to the left breast.
The skirt was indeed beautiful,
made with three founces, the low.
or one wheat, over which was one
of oats, while the upper one was
composed of wheat. On all three
of the founces the heads of the
grain formed a border of trimming.
The front was reviered by colored
fine grass, each reyier being held
back by a buckle eisenhower seed.
The sleaves of the basque were of
oats, and the full heads dropped as
gracefully about the fair arms as
do the richest laces which adorn
the devotees of fashion, In her
left hand she carries a boquet of
wild flowers and forms. The right
arm is bent at the elbow, bringing
the hand directly In front Of the
figure. In this hand is a bunch of
fax buds, while perched upon the
wrist is a prairie pigeon, taxider-
mized by Mrs. Palmer. Grain.
houses, engines and passenger
coaches are completely outdone
by this piece of decoration, and we
doubt if anything which will be ex.
hibited at the Milwaukee, Chicago
or Louisville expositions will at.
tract more attention than Mrs.
Palmer's "grain.lady." The figure
was perfect, the adornment taste.
full and the colors so arranged as
to blend perfectly, and we but state
q fact when we say we saw no room
for Improvement in any portion of
the work.

native of Old York. the daughter of the late
John Sewall, who came from that tom tn
Hallowell, where for many years he success
fully pursued the profession of teaching. At
the age of about 20 years she married the
late Capt. Joshua Gage. who died in this
city in 1862. and who will be remembered by
our older citizens as retired ship master
and merchant, residing in the house built by
him on State street, and now occupied by the
family Of the late S. Caldwell, Esq. Her
married life extended over a period of more
than 80 years. Although for the past quar-
ter Of a century an invalid, living retired and
secluded from society, Mrs. Gage was a
woman of rare strength of character. more
than usually well educated, and during her
long life, proracted far beyond rhe ordinary
human limit, kept herself veil informed upon
most subjects Of public interest, having strong
opinions, with the ability to give them intelli-
gent and forcible expression, and vet, in
the sharpest differences, always dignified and
womanly in her intercourse with others. She
took keen interest in the recent presidential
conflict and the unexpected defeat of Mr..
Blaine, her old neighbor and friend, was a
hard blow to her. Her health, for some
time, had been gradually failing, and from
that moment, her lamp Of life, feebly flicker
ing. went rapidly out. For many years Mrs.
Gage had been devout communicate of the
Congregational church. and although preclu-
ded by her physical infrmities from atten-
dance upon the minstrstions Of the sanctuary,
her walk and conversation was ever consis.

made her home since her husbands death

pathway. The funeral services were per-
formed by Rev. Mr. Skeee of the Congrega
tional church. on Friday afternoon, and tn,
remains were conveyed to Hallowell, to b,

most of the day yesterday, the Governor not
being present until O'Clock last evening.
Routine business was transacted mainly.

killing man in drunken row in Rockland.
D. NJ. Mortland of Rockland, will appear as
her counsel. The pardon OF Lawrence, the
Bangor murderer, will also be asked of the
Council and hearing given in the matter.
The agents OF the Passamaquoddy and Pc
nobscot Indians will be present during the
day and settle with the Council. The com
mittee on the enlargement of the State House
will probably report two plans, one of which
is for an addition oa the west side and the
other an almost entire remodelling of the
ddifice. The latter contemplates locating
Representative Hall in the addition and
changing the present Hall into committee
rooms, etc. Architect Fossett will arrive to-
day with the plans. Both plans will undoubt-
cdly go to the legislature, which will take
such action as it deems advisable. The Coun-
ell will endeavor to dispose of as much of the
business before it as possible, before another
Council is elected

Messrs. Linneus Cheethsm and +. A. CO.
nant of the Lewiston city government, were
in the city yesterday and called on Governor
Robe. Mr. Ceetham represented the factory
operatives of Lewiston and asked the Gov
vernon TO take some action to aid in bringing
about the enforcement of the ten hour law
in cotton factories, and especially those of
Lewiston, so that the operatives should be re-
lured to work but ten hours day instead OF
eleven, as at present. They say that the law
now in the statutes making ten hours a legal
working day, is practically a dead letter, be
cause it is not enforced; that there are no
penalties for the infringement of the law. A
bill will be presented to the legislature from
Lewiston, the coming winter, which, if pass
ed, will bring about the enforcement of the
ten hour law throughout the State.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of examin-
ing collection of curiosities brought from
Peru by Mr. Randall Sylvester of this city.
Mr. Sylvester visited that country two years
ago last spring and in the course of his trav-
els, stopped at Msgdalens, & ruined Inca city,
on the Peruvian coast. three miles from Lims.
Here are the remains Of what once was a
thriving and populous city, inhabited BY a
now almost extinct race. MFR. Sylvester
dug in the ruins and the relics found
he brought home. We were shown
the following; dark brown cloth
coarse and loosely woven. The material
was evidently some variety of vegetable
fibre. Fragments of mat evidently made
of matted tufts of white and brown wool
loosely Joined together by hard twisted
thread, A net of dark brown color for
wearing on the head. 1t was composed of
soft silken material, gathered up with cord
on the outside and had evidently been woven
by machinery. The meshes were half an
inch square. A corn cob in a perfect state
OF preservation. Two human jaw bones, some
evidently that of a female and the other a
male. The smaller one contained three
teeth. There was also large
quantity of other human bones in
the collection, consisting of ribs, thigh
bone sections of the spinal column, etc. Mr.,
sylvester also has large number of photo
graphs of Peruvian inhabitants, an exam
,'"7 of which is very interesting.
