Messrs. George N. Colby & Co., we'll known
as the publishers OF several county aliases,
have in contemplation the publication of an
atlas of Maine, which shall be much superior
in fulness of detail and accuracy to anything
Of the kind which has been done for this State.
The work for this city and section is in charge
of Mr.. FL. E. Halfpsnny. The work will be
published by subscription, and will not be un-
dertaken unless the encouragement warrants it.
Many of our citizens have expressed an inter-
est in the scheme, and it is much to be hoped
that it will be prosecuted to completion. A
really good atlas of the State is greatly needed.

He was one of the most neatly dressed
men in the congress, his closely fitting

| bly, with the red cap, while it displayed a
well knit and rounded figure.
The representative on behalf of Den
mark, Mr.. Carl Steen Andersen de Billie,
who was to have been here, was unfortu-
nately detained at home. His absence
was much regretted by members Of the
| congress, as it Will be by many people of
Washington, where he has been for some
time as Danish Minister. 1t is stated that
he will not return to this country.
The Liberian representative in the con-
gress was man who has probably done
more to make Liberia what it is than any
other now living, Col. Coppinger, the Lii
berian Consul General here and Secretary
of the Liberian Colonization Society," He
has been connected with the association
for more than quarter ola century, and
under his auspices thousands of cOlored
people of this country have found homes
in Liberia.
An interesting and much interested
man in this congress was Prof. Kikuchi,
Dean Of the Scientific department Of the
University of Toxic, Japan. He came
here solely to attend the conference. ard
though he had never been in this country
before, is spoken of by those in attend
ance constantly as one of the most fluent
English-speaking members. He is re-
ferred to in the highest of terms by those
who met him socially as well as in the
congress, as man of fine intellect aud
thorough training. Another interesting
figure and face was that Of the Hawaiian
representative, AhOlO, native of that
kingdom and Privy Counsellor of the
kingdom. He is the darkest skinned of
the entire number, though there were
several whose compilations bore evidence
as to their nationality Or residence.

interview with the conductor and began
to back into his seat again. The little
