General Manager Tucker, Of the Maine
Central Railroad, has already begun to ar
range for the trains which are to bring
stock from all parts of New England to the
fair to be held in Bangor. Aug. 81, Sept. l.,
.. 3, and 4.
Entries Of herds Of cattle owned in other
States have already been made. The Maine
breeders of fine cattle desire to see large en-
tries from the other States as they believe
that the cattle raised in Maine are as good
as any in the country.
Hon. J. II. Bodwel, of the firm of Bod
well 4 Burleigh. of IiaIlowell, one Of the
largest importers Of fine bred cattle in this
country, is enthusiastic over the success of
the New England Fair, and says that the
exhibit Of cattle at this fair will be the fin
est ever seen in the world The splendid
cattle of Messrs. Bodwell 4 Burleigh will
be an attraction in themselves. Probably
no man in New England is better posted on
cattle than Mr. Bodwell.
Improvements at the Maplewood Park
will now be rapidly pushed, and everything
will be done to make the great fair a sue
cess. \ large number of very fine horses
have already arrived a, the park.

The Baagor merciH speaks very
highly Of the recent legislation Of the Do
minion Parliament in behalf of the trunk
line soon TO cross the State of Maine in or
der that the Canadian Pacific may secure a
winter port. II says that as the resolu-
tons were passed without a division it is
evident the scheme meets the general appro-
baton Of all sections Of the Dominion, and
will tend to allay the jealousies existing be-
tween Quebec, the historical centre, and
Montreal, the commercial centre of Canada
The distance by this route from Montreal to
ST. Andrews 430 miles as against SIS from
Quebec, via St. Roch, the shortest all Cana
dian route. 1t was stated in the debate
that the survey shows it does not vary at
any point twenty miles from straight line
with easy gradients and favorable curves
for large coal trains. During the progress
of the debate Sir John Mcdonald said pro-
vision had already been made for grant to
line through Cape Breton to either Sgd
ney or Louisburg, and the government in
tended to ask Parliament for a grant for an
instrumental survey, and Mr.. Stephen and
Others were sanguine that Louisburg. being
the nearest port to Europe, would be the
great point of departure and arrival for
American and Canadian passengers. The
Commercial advises General Manager Tuck
er of the Maine Central to keep sharp eye
on the new road in order that any over
flow Of traffic NAV be diverted toward Bar
Harbor where Mr. Tucker is DESTROYS Of
establishing a great seaport.

Mr., Blaine's Eulogy on Gen. Grant.

OF the many eu!ogies pronounced, on
Saturday, on Gen. Grant, that spoken by
Hon. James G. Blaine, al Augusta. is per
haps the one possessing more interest than
any other, coming. as it does. from our fore
most civilian IN honor Of the Nations great
est soldier. Want Of space prevents our
giving more than the salient features of this
most excellent address.
Mr.. Blaine said Public sensibility and
personal sorrow over the death Of General
Grant are not confined to one continent. A
profound admiration for great qualities, and
still more profound gratitude for great ser
vices. have touched the heart OF the people
with true sympathy, increased even to ten
der emotions by the agony Of his closing
DAYS and the undoubted heroism with which
he morally conquered last cruel fate. The
world in It's hero worship is discriminating
and practical. if not, indeed, selfish. En-
inent qualities and rare achievements do not
always insure lasting fame. A brilliant or
ator enchains his hearers with his inspired
and inspiring gifts but if his speech be not
successfully used to some popular recollee-
ton. bis only reward will be in the ftfui APP
plause of his forgotten audience. A yIcto-
rious general in war of mere ambition re-
oeives the cheers of the multitude and the
ceremonial honors Of the Government but
If he brings no boon to his country, his
fame will find no abiding place in the CEN
turtles that follow. The hero for the ages is
he who has been chief and foremost in con-
tributing to the moral and material progress,
to the grandeur and glory of the succeeding
generation. Washington secured the free
dom of the Colonies and founded a new Ma
ton Lincoln was the prophet who warned
the people of the evils that were undermin-
ing our free Government and the statesman
who was called to leadership in the work of
their extirpation. Grant was the soldier
who, by victory in the field, gave vitality
and force to the policies and philanthropic
measures which Lincoln defined in the Cab
met for the regeneration and security of the
Republic.
The monopoly of fame by the few in this
world comes from an instinct, perhaps from
deep-seated necessity of human nature.
Heroes cannot be multiplied The gods OF
mythology lost their sacredness and their
mower by their numbers. The millions pass
INTO oblivion the units only survive. Who
asked the great leader of Israel to conduct

At Rest.

While the body of Gen. Grant was living
in state at City Hall in New York, it was
viewed by over 100000 people. Saturday
witnessed such pageant as was never be-
fore seen in this country. Over $4,000
men, including many of the more prominent
men Of the country, were in the procession
which followed the remains to the grave,
while hundreds of thousands lined the
streets and avenues, through which the SOL
emn procession wound its way. About 430
the car on which the remains were borne ar
rived at the tomb. Two companies were
formed in hollow square between the tomb
and hearse. The family carriages drew near,
the occupants alighted and passed TO the
foot of the steps of the funeral car, and
when the casket was borne through the hol-
low square toward the vault the relatives
followed on to the door Of the sepulcher and
the casket was deposited therein. Meade
Post OF Philadelphia, of which Gen. Grant
was member, represented by Is men, en-
circled the caske, The commander took
his post at the head Of the caskst, with Of
fcers and past co nmanders. The chaplain
stood at the foot, and colors were placed in

formed.

service for burial Of the NJ T.. Church, and
du.ing these ceremonies the family as named
stood at the foot Of the casket. Directly
behind the funeral party stood Gen. Han

"Why, Hooker was as brave as Grant,
said one man excitedly. "But Grant was a
very near man." said Buekner. "And
Mcclellan was a greater strategist," said
another scoffer. "But Grant was famous
for his nearness,' said Buckner. "He may
not have been brave, but he was always
near" "What do you mean by nearness ?'
asked another scoffer petulantly. "Why,
when | looked around at Fort Donelson for
some one to surrender to, Grant was right
there handy and notice when General
Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Grant was
the nearest General to take his sword.
