Senator Hoar's Oonceit.
Washington letter.


1t is q conceit of George Frisbie Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,, that he would be taken for a
twin brother of Horace Greeley. There are
some points of resemblance of facial devel-
opment, and Mr.. Hoar has intensified the
likeness by sssiduously cultivating the be
nign expression which constantly mantled
the counIenance OF old Horace. But there
is sinister CLEAN in the eye OF the Msssa-
chusetts statesman which affords a painful
contrast to the unsuspecting and benevolent
glance of Greeley. Nevertheless, there is
enough similitude to afford much comfort
to Mr.. Hoar. Talking on this subject the
other day, one OF his constituents said: "If
you want Hoar to do you favor tell him he
looks like Horace Greeley. That's about the
only way you can influence him. Why, he
would wear short trousers, boots and an old
white hat like Greeley's If his family did
not prevent him. Hoar is a very pious man,
but dang my buttons il haven't heard him
swear like trooper, and he did it just be.
cauke Horace Greeley did it."

Pre.ids emit Cleveland kissing the Bible.


There wss DO intention of the Chief Justice
10 open the book at any particular place. and
no desire of President Cleveland that there
should be anything presrrsnged ABOUT the
ceremony In any way. The particular place
where he kissed, therefore. was the result OF
accident entirely. As the type Usad in the
b bic is small, the lips of the President
touched six verses Of the 18TH Psalm, from
verse to verse 10. inclusive. They are as
follows:
good man shOweth favor and lendeth he will
GUIDE his affairs with discretion.
Surely ne shall not be moved forever; the
righteous shall be in everlasting remembra
He shall not be afraid OF evil tidings; his heart
is fixed trusting in the Lord.
His neart is established. he shall not be afraid
until be see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed. he hath given 10 the poor.
his righteousness elduTcth forever his horn shall
be exalted with honor.
The wicked shall see II, and be grieved he shall
gnesh his teeth and melt away; the desire Of the
wicked shall perish.

has actually decreased On the other hand
the use OF coffee has considerable increased.

Governor and Council.

Yesterday afternoon William Emery, ESQ.,,
and Ira T. Drew, Esq, of York county, ap-
peared before the Governor and Council in
behalf of Communication of sentence of Mrs.
Barrows. The arguments employed we're
that Blaney's testimony was prepared for
him by Detective Wood and tn. truth was so
interviewer with untruth that it was difficult
to separate the two, and more credit was thus
gwen to 1t than it deserved. Again the coun.
eel for the prisoners were not allowed to see
Blaney before the trial, while he was repeat
eddy visited by the county attorney and De-
tective Wood. During the trial Mr.. Yeaton,
counsel for Blaney, would not consult with
the counsel for Mrs. Barrows regarding the
defense Of the prisoners, or the trial would
have resulted differently. No new evil
dence was offered, though especial emphasis
was placed upon the fact that Blaney and
Barrows several times had serious disagree
ments, and it was claimed that these resulted
in Blaney's decision to commit the murder.
There was no evidence to prove that Mrs
Barrows had anything to do with his reaching
that decision. A letter from Judge Virgin,
who tried the case, was read by the Governor,
in which that gentleman urged the commu-
tation of Blaney's sentence and the matter
was laid upon the table until the next regular
meeting of the Council. The Bath special
constable case again came before the board
Charles E. Patten, j. C. Leyard, C. F. Hay
den, A. c. Palmer, Bath, appeared in favor
of James Bailey as constable. They pre-
scented an affidavit from Mr.. Maberry, for
merly of the SsRadahoc House, and attempted
to cisprove the charges against Bailey. They
said Bailey was the only man in Sagadahoc
county suitable for constable. hearing
was arranged to occur at the next meeting of
the Council when all parties will be heard,
and it was voted to present Mr.. Wakefield of
Bath with copy Of the papers offered by the
petitioners, that he might have an opportu-
nifty to reply to the same. In Wilkinson's
case it was voted not to take any action. By
laws prepared by Hon. w. W. Bolster, trus-
tee of the Maine Reform School, for the
school, were presented to the board and ap-
proved.
