Ar THE INSANE HosPIrAL
The services were very interesting, and
suitable for Easter. They were held in the
chapel, which was filled with patients, who
gave close attention. Rev Mr.. Penney con-
Quoted the services in a thoughtful devoted
manner. His text was from Mark l6 :3-4
where Mary Magdelen and Salome visit the
sepulcher "And they said among themselves,
who shall roll the stone from the door of the
sepulcher: And when they looked they saw
that the stone was rolled away, for it was
very great" One of the chief and most
pleasing features of the services, was the
music, which being rendered BY selected
choir OF three ladies and three gentlemen,
and the Hospital orchestra, under the
dictatorship of Prof. Harlow, was very effec-
tive Christ our Passover" Praise the
Lerd, and GLORIA" were among the an
thems on the programme. The floral display
exceeded anything in the city. Ia the rear

which rested candelabrums, bearing lighted
candles and many vases of cut flowers and
beautiful foral cross of tea roses, hello

above the altar was clover leaf design,

PORTLAND June %, 1885.
DEAR JOURNAL: The Friends have held
their yearly meeting and scattered their seeds
of goodness and mercy. We love this people
not for their garb or speech, but their prayers
are backed by bread and meat. As we see
more of the people of this earth, the more are
we inclined to Il quiet religion that finds vent in
deeds, not words. The Quakers fill the bill
Their presence is a benedcton, for through
persecution. contumey and perfidy they are
ever the same patient, kind people. May their
numbers and principles increase.
AS we write, the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie are forming to parade. 1t will be of vast
proportions and every way success. Your
readers will have report. There is one thing
that strikes the beholder with surprise, viz,
the small number of aged men in their ranks
1t leads us to the sad conclusion that the hard
ships endured by these heroes has told heavily
upon the men who in their prime went to the
front. They sleep on the hill top and in the
vale. We enjoy the fruit of their labor. 1t ex-
cites our admiration as we meet the humblest
of them. Any party that ostracizes them will
die and ought to. They made us nation of
treemen. They will ever live in history as
emancipatOrs. Never more will the auc-
ton block witness the sale of human
flesh, nor the crack of the overseers lash
be heard. We are making rapid strides
in education. 1t will uproot cast, which
cannot face civilization. The South is fast
learning this. The black men are marching in
the way of progress there and bid fair to leave
the whites far in the rear. This has more to
do with the petty hate and brutal treatment of
the coored people there than all else. A half
century Is q small part of eternity, and the
next fifty years will witness some strange
transformations in the South. have no fear
for the colored, it is the white race that | am
apprehensive about.

munication for the reason that they are not

they can to make our guests fully understand
that Portland has no rival that outranks her in

The President and the People.

There is very general complaint in the Dem
ocratie and Mugwump press of the pg-headed-
ness of their President. Persons who have
had more or less to do with Administrations
for more than generation say that Mr.. Ceve-
land has undertaken TO do a great many things
that no other President ever did, and seems
not to desire the Judgment Of Others which as
rule, has been sought for as a great help.
This Administrations said one. .'has cut it.

desire its success, and would contribute toward
1t. don't feel at liberty TO make the offer. though
feeling confident that they could do so by sup
plying what it is obvious the Administration
stands in need of. a knowledge of precedents
and the results of experience"
Mr.. Lincoln" said another, was all the
while seeking the views of others. He priced
the ideas of plain people, and did not discard
those of politicians and leaders. Instead of
creating he was trying to avoid antagonisms,
lie wanted everybody's help, and largely got
1t. In this connection Washington cores
pendent of the New York Sun says:
l>its to Mr.. Lincoln were constantly made
by Wade, Fessenden, Wilson. Howard, Howe
Winter, Davis, Chandler, and others to consult,
sometimes to protest or eXpostulate. but al
ways with wish to find the right They were
always welcome. and their views were desired
If they did not prevail. the Presidents own
course was made clearer. Honest John Covode's
sturdy good sense was frequently instructive
and was always priced. Mr.. Lincoln felt that
he could not get along without the support
OF the people. and his own experience had
taught him that the political leaders and the
politicians AS rule fairly reflect their wishes.

man who generally keeps himself nearest to
the masses. When they said to Mr.. Lincoln.

had better listen. Judge Davis, who knew a
great deal of Mr.. Lincoln and his WAYS, has
said that herein was the secret of his bower.
''He was Il party man." said Judge Davis,
when it was most difficult to be one. While
having the support of men of all parties. he
who made him."
The same correspondent says that President
Arthur took counsel of others and was open to
suggestion, and that President Buchanan was
aware of the importance of studying the senti-
ment of his party and taking care not to offend
it. But President Cleveland is law unto him
self. and recent appointments have shown that
his Judgment is not infallible, while he is Great

which are giving the leaders good deal of
concern.
