Emma, Lady Hamilton, Her Origin.

She was the offspring of poor parents,
and was born at Preston, in Lancashire,
in 1854. Her father, Henry Lyon-a
laborer, it is assertcd-died while she
was still an infant. His widow then re-
moved to Harwarden, in F%lintshire,
where she managed to support herself
and her little Emma. Rags, bare feet,
and hard fare, We're the child's portion;
and n can imagine her romping with
the village companions, little thinking
what experience awaited her in the dim
future. Her childhood fled. At 10 she
entered the service of Mr.. Thomas, the
local apothecary, as nursery maid.
After three years (by some accounts,
unhappy ones) she left her situation.
She had often heard of London, its
wonders, its attractions; and London
wards her thoughts were now directed.
Accordingly, We find her next at Black
friars, attending on the children of DIR.
Budd, q physician attached to St. Bar.

beauty too was of q superior sort, which
hard work could not alter. A lady,
coming n day TO the shop where she
was employed, was SO struck by her
appearance that she offered to take her

ed. Emma's duties in her new place
seem to have been light. She had
learned to read, and her many leisure
hours were passed in d~evouring the
silly romance then in fashion,. which
formed the favorite intellectual aliment
of her employer. OF an evening
she went often to the play
for her a scene Of enchantment.
Her power of mimicry was astonishing,
and she could initiate all the actors and
actresses she saw to the life. She had
also an accurate ear for music, and a
fresh voice. Her fellow servants
thought highly of these gifts; her mis-
tress then regarded them less favorable.
The mimic was dismissed. Emma

FOR PREsIDENT. JAMES G. BLAINE, of Maine. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. JOHN A. LOGAN, of Illinois.
THE CAMPAIGN IN afAINE,

Universal interest is of coarse felt in the campaign in Maine this year. There are many indications that the contest will be one of the hottest every known. There have been reports that some of the Republican workers are disgruntled, but even if this is true there are enough who are not to make things very lively. Isis declared that the organization of the Republican party in the State was nev- CT better than to-day. and in shat it has a great advantage over the Democrats, who confess that they have practically no organ ization in most of the towns. The erganiz- ing part of the campaign is in full blast. At this date Republican elabs are forming all over the State, and from this time to election the members will be active in this work, and when the speaking begins they will be ready to take active part in the meetings. It is not possible at this time to give the date when the formal open ing of the campaign will take place, nor will 1t be possible until Congress adjourns and an opportunity is given for consultation and to procure speakers. Besides, the Maine Congressmen will take an active part, and until they have returned from Washing ton no time can be fixed or definite arrange ments made. The next meeting of the State committee is to be held July IS, and the com mittee will then be able to decide fully upon the conduct of the campaign. The campaign will not be opened by 8 single meeting, but will be by meetings held on the same dav At the four greet political centers of the State Portland, Augusta, Bangor and Lewiston. Tha1a fnnP upon, but the dates, as before said, cannot NOW be given. It is not likely that they will be held before the last of July CT the first of August. Many of the most noted campaign orators of the party will participate, and from that time the campaign will be pushed vigorously.
 Tho Republican State committee have au thorized a Blaine and Logan badge for the campaign, and this badge is unique thing: At the top is gildsd pine conc To the stem of the cone is jed red ribbon, with the words, '"The woods are full of them.'' Below this is white ribbon, with the words. "Blaine and Logan" At the base of the cone is a broad blue ribbon bearing the legend: ''We mean victory for the man from Maine and the black eagle of Illinois" proud bird of victory supplies the words "black eagls," either stamped in black or with metal eaE le.
 The Democrats of Maine will of course work hard. but they will net make much headway against ''the piumsd knight" es. peciaily as they will net have as much help from the Greenbacksrs this yaar as they have had in some years. Mr. Blains's ma. jority in his own State will probably be 8 large one.

Veto Street.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A commYnication in your valued paper few days ago in relation to this street should receive attention from the city authorities, and also from persons who have paid their assessments for an attempt to open the street. Either the street should be opened as by the layout or che work should be done over again. There has been 8 contest about that street for more than fifty years. It was supposed to be finally ended and large sums of money were assessed and 8 considerable portion of it paid by parties supposing the street was to be properly opened. A large sum was assessed upon the property of the person who about fifty years ago threw open his land for the street. The person now rep resenting that property utterly refuses to pay the assessment laid thereupon, and deffes the city authorities to attempt the collection of it.
