In less than month The orty-N.nth
Congress will be in session on Capitol Hll
Quite number Of it, members are now IN
the city, busying themselves about their
winter quarters, and matters relating to the
re- organization of the next House.
As no contest is expected over the Speak
ersh!p, the excitement of a contest is avoided
this year Mr. Randall is not candidate
for the office, and the majority in the
House will at once re-e!ect Mr..
Carlisle and most Of the other old Of
ticers. Mr.. Carlisle is expected to arrive
daily.
As usual no important legislation is ex
pected until after the Christmas holidays,
but there will be many matters Of interest to
demand the attention Of the law makers up
to that time. After that there will be suf-
fcient number of important questions pre-
sented to keep both branches Of Congress
actively employed until late in the summer.
The chances are, however, that seven or
eight months will be given to civil service
talk, silver talk and tariff talk, and that
the session will end leaving all these
questions just where they are to-day.
There is much braggadocio among Demos
cratic Congressman TO the effect that there
will be perfect harmony in their ranks in
support of the President. That will depend
entirely upon the position Mr.. Cleveland
takes upon several leading questions. 1t is
not possible that majority Of his party in
Congress will stand by his silver policy, as
formulated in the letter that created so much
commotion in the House last spring. Then
there are several other issues upon
which the Democratic party is sure to
clash.
The elections Of the past week in New
York and Virginia are destined to form an
important factor in shaping the policy of the
Administration, and the action of
political parties. The Administration
Democratic victory The wholesale
removals made Of Republican officials
in Virginia, and the appointment of
Democrats, dictated by the bosses of the
state, gave the Democracy power it had
not enjoyed since the war. The President left
the high plane of his inaugural address and
descended to practical party politics. By
his example he said "if you want to win a
political victory, you must vote and put up
your money voluntarily, without assess
ment." He taught government clerks
everywhere that it was neither violation of
the civil service, nor was it offensive partis-
anship to leave their public duties, 60 home
to vote, and back up their choice with their
money.

IN regard to the early settler. in Ellsworth
(Which n,ended TO do before) from records
Of some Of the first settlers, and remin-
lscences Of the de.ceaIants Of Others, which
substantial these published in tie Mount

First, vii. notice the FIRST statement Of
tie correspondent Of he AMERICAN. He
says We've utterly failed TO find scintiIla
Of evidence Of early settlers or settlements
at Ellsworth SO early as 1863" I'VE suppose
he means spa, king "esidence"l. To show
how dligent hs researches and sparkling
evidence" have been, We will refer the read
ers Of the AMERICAN to the annual Reqis-
Ter Of Maine, published by Hoyt, Fogg <
Donham These gentlemen have spent
great deal Of time in past years to obtain
correct statistics and facts, from the records,
and archives at the capitol Of our State, and
it is admitted BY all that they give the best
aid most reliable information of the first set
Elements in every section Of the State. We
will quote The following from the Register,
Ellsworth was first settled in 1863. In
corporaied 1900"
Benjamin JOY Sen, was one Of the first
settlers in Ellsworth in 1903 These state
ments give, learned from him, and from
my mother, his daughter, also from his son
Benjamin JOY, Jr, and from records kept by
them, now IN the possession of granddaugh-
ter in her SD year. There is also a grand
son living, in his S1th year who will relate
menv of the past events clearly and FULLY
Benjamin Millihen was another Of the
first settlers and | will give the statements
of some Of his descendants nearly in their
own words, which concur with those in the
Mount Desert Herald. Benjamin Milliken,
Sen., first came to Ellsworth in 1862. with
small company Of young men. Among them
was Benjamin Joy. SEN, and man named
Fly (those three were connected in bus-
ness for sveral years.. They were looking
for place TO settle. and also for timber
lands. Being much pleased with the country,
they agreed to return the next year, and did
return, in 1868, and made a permanent se;-
tlement there were fifteen Young men, with
small families, and ten or twelve Young
men, bachelors, most all from Saco, Maine.
The descendants Of Benjamin MiIliken
first. claim that Benjamin Milliken second
was the first child born in Ellsworth, and
perhaps with good authority. There is
tr;fing difference in the dates ia records of
the birth of Benjamin Joy first, and Benja-
min second, but it is nothing strange in
events that passed more than 100 years ago.
Milliken, Joy and Fly built the first ves-

\ CHAPTER n CHRONICLES.
j.. l.. NJ.

1t was in the ninth month OF the year Of
our Lord, lN>j, and under the reign Of one
Grover, whose surname is Cleveland that |,
living IN the western country, was induced
BY worthy citizen Of Beddington to travel
East and sojourn there for time. And it
came TO pass, after many days, that | ar
rived at the end Of my journey, and pitched
my tent in Beddington valley. But 10 :
when | arrived, there appeared 10 me a man
Of the tribe OF Judah, who had come up
from the land Of Jericho, 10 sojourn with me
in the forests of the hill country, and he was
comely in appearance and withal a worthy
representative of the country from which re
came. And We sojourned together for a
season and behold one day he arose up and
departed into his own country, and another
man came up from the same country as a
guide to pilot me through by and for
bidden paths, which i1tersect this hill
country. And We departed in northery dir
ecton to place called Bakers Brook and
the same day mighty famine arose in the
valley, and no deer meat was to be had to
feed the multitude. And there was a
great murmuring an ongst the deer hunters,
and they said amongst themselves, I'VE will
arise up on the morrow and depart for Bakers
six and twenty 6eer to appease their raging
appe,ites for venison" And it came to pass
on the morrow that the guide and myself
were wandering away from camp, when be-
hold we heard a great noise, which pro-
ceeded out Of the depths of the forest, and
was afraid, but the guide said, "Fear not. for
l am with you." l looked and behold, four
men appeared to US out Of the depths of the
forest, to whom said, "Who are YEP" and
they said, 1--WE are deer-slayers who have
come up out of great ;fibulation and there
has been mighty famine in the valley.
Now, therefore, the ruler there has de-
tailed US, his greatest hunters, to go into the
hill country and slay six and twenty deer
The guide and myself went on our way, re-
joicing ttat we had escaped failing into their
hands. Ahd soon after we listened, and 10
we heard the roar of nu,sketry aod the clash
ing of resounding arms; bullets flying in all
directions, and verify methought that the
Rebellion had just commenced. The guide
concluded he would have no dee- to slay on
the morrow, as the deer-slayers had oil they
wanted. When we arrived in camp, we look
ed and looked in vain for venison, but none
met our longing gaze and being surprised
thereat, we actually rubbed our eyes thinking
there must be some trouble with our optic
nerves, and looking again, we saw none. And
upon entering the camp, behold it was besieg-

THE Vicksburg Post, Mississippi
has level head. In referring to the
removal Of Meade, the red-handed post
master of Hazelhurst, Copiah County,
he says the assassination of Print Mat
thews in November, 1883, undoubtedly
had decided effect upon the election
for President in 1885. He thinks that
very few people in Copiah County
cared to vote against Cleveland, and to
that extent at least was the electoral
vote Of the State affected. He promises
when the time arrives to more fully
oiscuss this question before the people
and says he shall maintain his opinions
and views regardless of the opposition
and threats Of his own or any other
party.
Hs says Mr.. Meade and his com.
patriots contributed greatly to Cleve
lands success In Copiah County, and il
the electoral vote of the State had
hinged upon the vote of one county, nc
doubt Mr.. Meade would have beer
found equal to the emergency. II,
thinks 1t looks inconsistent for Mr.
Cleveland to demand Mr. Meade's re-
signation, and in this he agrees per
fectly with the jackson Clarion, the or
thodox Democratic organ of the Safe
+, that it amounts to an Indictment of tn,
whole people-the very people who's
votes were necessary to Oleveland's sue
cess, and without which he never coul,
have been elected.

raving maniac. 1t sent young hus-
band TO a murderer's cell there to await
trial, and from whence he will no doubs

expiate his crime If there is any use of
having gallows in Delaware. The gal

children Of the murdered man have
