Harvey Bound Over.

The hearing in the case of Foster Harvey,
accused of illicit distilling, was continued in
the Commissioners Court Saturday morn
Ing. Osway S. Heal of Waldoboro. q mer-
liant tailor, testified that he saw a hogshead
molasses delivered at Harvey's door on
the 29d or oath of last May, and that
about three weeks later he saw at the station
in Waldoboro tierce containing a copper
or brass can, and coil of lead pipe, directed
to Harvey. Harvey has since moved his res
ldence to point about one mile from the
former.
The court found probable cause against
Harvey and bound him over in the sum of
$1,000 to appear at the next term of the Dis
trict Court at Bath. Harvey's father and
brother furnished bonds and he was re-
leased.

TO-DAY 5 GAME.
To-day the Portlands play the Providence league
team and lovers of the sport VIII turn out in good
" numbers to witness the game. Shaw win pitch
for the Providences.
THE MISREPRESENTATION GAME.
The directors of the Portland Association. deem
ing the day on which General Grant was buried
untitled for game of ball, requested the New
puryports to postpone the game scheduled for that
Jay Thls the Newburyports refused to do, and
the directors of the Portland Association tele-
graphed that under the circumstances they should
forfeit the game. The NewburypOrts appeared on
the field Saturday, and umpire Quinn declared the
game forfeited. The Portland management in
refusing to play ON Saturday offered to play the
game scheduled here for next Saturday in
Newburyport, thus giving the Newburyport asso-
citation game on the day of the week they con-
slider to be the best financially.
The action of the Portland association will be
heartily endorsed by the public here and else
where. The great majority of Portland people
who believed game of bali to be improper ON
such day will find ample opportunity to show
their appreciation of the course taken by the di-
reetors and of the frmness with which it was fol
lowed. The Newburyp0rts unless they see fit to
Withdraw their claim TO the game, will find when
they visit Portland that decreased attendance at
the games, and most unenviable reputation will
attest the displeasure Of the public. 1t is how
ever, quite probable that the NewburypOrts, when
they become aware of the light in which their ac-
tiou is viewed, will be only too glad to play the
game at some future time. Saturday, President
Hobson telegraphed Secretary Wiggin that he for
feited the game under protest, and at its next
meeting the association may refuse to ratify The
action Of the Newburyports.

Through thee, nation richly blest
Marched on to higher life.
Honored of man, thy living worth
The world has recognized,
And thou, in passing from the earth,
By Love art signaized.
The troubled heart has ceased to thrill,
The soul gone forth unstained,
Whose wisdom grand, whose matchless will
For us the conquest gained.
A man of silence, stunning praise,
Yet mighty to command,
How set thou Freedoms torch abaze,
Through all the waiting land!
Born Chief, yet valiant servitor,
Our standard to maintain,
Honored alike in peace or war,
We called on thee to reign.
And thine answering rectitude,
Thy ministrations just,
wrought out for us lasting good,
For thee, peoples trust.
The king may glory in his crswn,
And rule from coast to coast,

from the rocking-horse OF kidhood to

1.rana and His ta,roa,s.

From an anecdotal and reminiscent
article on Grant, General Badeau, in
tho May Century, we quote the follow
ing: ellis relation with the troops
were peculiar He never made
speeches to the soldiers, and OF course
never led them himself into battle
after he assumed his high commands.
But in every battle they saw him GER
tainly once or twice far to the front,
as exposed as they for there always
seems to come time in each engage
ment when he was unwilling to use
the eyes or ears of another, but must
observe for himself in order to deter
mine. The soldiers saw all this they
knew, too, that when he rode around
in campit meant action, and the
sight of his blue overcoat, exactly like
their own, was a signal to prepare for
battle. They found out his character
and respected his qualities. They felt
that he meant we'll, although when
the time came he spared them not,
for the cause. Thus, though so un-
demonstrative, he awoke. a genuine
enthusiasm. After the battle Of the
Wilderness he rode at night along
the road where Hancock's veterans
lay, and when the men discovered it
was Grant, and that his face was
turned toward Richmond, they knew
in u moment they were not to retire
across the Rapian as SO often before
and they rose in the darkness and
cheered until the enemy thought
it was IL night attack and came out
and opened fire. When the works
were carried at Petersburg, theil
enthusiasm was OF course unbounded
and whenever they caught glimpse
of him in the Appomattox campaign
the cheers were yociferous. After the
surrender of Lee they began without
orders to salute him with cannon, but
he directed the firing to cease, lest il
should wound the feelings of thC
prisoners, who he said were once
again our countrymen.
"This sentiment he retained, SooI
after the close of the war | was pres
ent when committee of congress
headed by Charles Sumner, waited OF
him to propose that picture SHOULD
be painted OF the surrender Of Lee, t.

er consent, so far as he was concerned
to any picture being placed in thu
capitol to commemorate n victory il
which our own countrymen were tn,
