There is a good prospect for the immediate
establishment of new weekly democratic
paper in Kittery.
The Biddeford Times is responsible for the
following: One day about week ago a wo-
man entered millinery store on Main street
and left an order for very expensive hat.
She said she wanted as fine an article as the
market and the milliner could afford, and it
was made up in strict compliance with her
wishes and directions. When she called for
the hat she told the proprietor of the store
that Mr.. So-and-So, mentioning leading
member of the democratic party in this city,
would settle for it. The milliner
was a trifie puzzled, but her mind was
set at rest BY the the woman. who said
that when the democrats celebrated the cleo.
ton, or Inauguration of Buchanan, and
forget which, ball from Roman candle
lodged upon her hat and caused its destruc-
ton. The candle was held in the hands of
the gentleman above alluded to. and when he
discovered the damage he had unconsciously
been the author of, he told the woman that
when the democrats elected another Presi-
dent he would buy her as costly hat as she
cared to order. He has fulfilled his promise,
and the woman is happy in consequence.

AT CHICAGO.

tHCAGo, I'LL, Aug. s.--Tlle procession
here to-day in honor of the obsequies of
Gen. Grant was very large and imposing,
and was Witnessed by such multinudcs of
people that the streets of the business
portions of the city were practically i'm
passiblc from before 10 O'Clock until ai-
ternoon. The government, county, city,
business and other buildings in all parts
of Chicago were heavily draped in mourn
ing, decorations of this character being
particularly noticeable along the line of
march of the procession on Lake front.
Guns fired AT intervals during the parade.
Business was entirely suspended and so
general seemed the respect for the mem
DRY of the dead general that very few
people, even among the laboring classes,
took advantage of the holiday To visit the
park or enjoy any kind of an excursion.
\ heavy shower lasting half an hour dur
ing the parade was the only circumstance
that occurred to mar the success of the
the obsequies, and that had Il very small
effect ON the order OF the marchers, Re-
grets are being received indicating that
throughout the West and Northwest in
all principal towns and cities programmes
similar 10 the one here were carried out
Business everywhere seemed to have
been abandoned for the entire day.
