A Washington despatch to the Bangor Com
mercial, probably from Mr.. Bass, contains the
following statement:
Hon. W. L. Putnam, Hon. L. d. M. Sweat,
Payson Tucker, Judge Goddard, ex-Gov.
Plaisted and others urge the appointment Of
Gen. Anderson for collector OF Portland. In
case Mr.. Anderson should be appointed, 1t ID
thought that Mr.. Bradbury will be appointed
to the surveyorship of the port OF Portland.
There is little to do and the snug little sum
of $4,000 per year makes it very desirable
office. 1t is well known that there are two or
three others who hope to come in as dark
horses, but it is safe to say that no dark horse
will succeed in getting the place. The sup
porters OF Gen. Anderson are strong personal
friends OF Mr.. Bradbury, but they at the same
time believe that as the latter is IA years old
and in feeble health, the Office of the surveyor
ship of the port for him, II the future Is to be
considered instead OF the past, would Ia the
end be for the best. Gen. Anderson Ia in the
prime of life, and is strong and vigorous, Mr.,
Bradbury has the respect Of bis party and II
the situations were reversed he wonld have
but little opposition.

holy Saturday and Easter sunday.


On Holy Saturday, or Easter eve, the first
part of the office will be the blessing OF the
new fre-which rite is very ancient--and then
the paschnl candle; also of the baptismsl
water. The church has been accustomed often
to bless most things the faithful make use of
in common life Hence in the most ancient
rituals can bs found forms of blessings for
new house, a new dwelling place, new bed,
new ship, candles, bread, new fruit, food of
every kind, water, etc.
The service on Easter Saturday at the
Cathedral, after blessing the new fire, the
paschal candle and the baptismal water, will
conclude with solemn high mass
Easter Sunday is the greatest festival OF
the church and is always celebrated with
great pomp and solemnity, throughout the
Christian world. 1t is the celebration of the
resurrection of our Lord and the church puts
on its richest robes in honor Of the event.
