At the recent annual meeting Of the Trustees
Of the Massachusetts Agricultural College at
the State House, the Hon. James S. Grinnell
appeared in a suit of woolen, which was Of
cloth made from the clip of Oxford Down wool
from the flock of Secretary John +. Russell.
The price of wool being low, Mr.. Russell sent
it to a neighboring mill, and special pains were
taken to make it into cloth of the same weight
and finish of that made by Mr.. Welcome Far
mum of Blackstone for a suit of clothes for
Henry Clay, fifty years ago. Mr. CLAW wore
his cloth with unconcealed pride in the Senate,
in making his speeches for protection to Amer
lean industry, and, it must be added with yis-
BILE effect. The cost of this cloth worn bv Mr..
Grinnell, taking the wool at the best rate cur
rent at the time, was $1.54 per yard, and 1t is
pronounced by experts to be the equal of i'm
ported cloth at $3.50 per yard.

the special correspondent of the New York Her

President and the Senate. The article is the
more significant from the fact that the Herald
and Mr.. Nordhoff have been staunch support
ers and admirers of the President. as well as
decidedly ant-Republcan. In later despatch
the Herald correspondent says that if the pap
ers asked for become public ''certan Demo-
cratic Senators will cut a sorry figure before
the public" He continues
1t will become known that Democratic SEN
ators have secretly asked for and secured the
retention of Republican friends and allies in
office. 1t will become known that Democratic
Senators have pretended to be soliciting Office
for one man while in fact they We're secretly
persuading the President to appoint another.
1t will be shown that Democratic Senators and
Representatives in their secret intrgues in
dorsed and pushed for Office men of notorious
ly bad character. 1t will be seen that Demo-
cratic Senators went in for offices for their
workers with the undisguised plea that unless
such men-their creatures-were put in Office
they (the Senators) could not be reelected.

During the four years of the civil war Maine
sent to the front thirty one regiments of in
fantry, three regiments of cavalry. one regiment
of heavy artillery, and seven batteries Of light
artillery, besides many men included in other
organizations. These. with the recruits con-
stantly sent to reinforce the ranks in the field,
and the naval establishments, made an aggre-
gate Of II 5SS men, more than one tenth of the
population of the State, and the bravest and
most promising portion of its youth. They did
their work and gave up their organization more
than 20 years ago. Recently there was mus
ter of survivors at Skowhegan and an enumer-
alton of the veterans. They were not reckoned
by regiments or batteries as in the early COS,
nor yet by individual names, as they are count
ed on the faded muster rolls in the adutant
generals office at Augusta. They were count
ed by the living and by the dead. And the
enumeration, though sadly incomplete, is no
less interesting. In the 147 posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic in the department OF
Maine. there are over II 900 men. These are
not all the living. Some do not belong to the
organization; many more are in other States or
other lands. The dead lie in eight hundred and
forty-eight cemeteries in Maine. Seven thous-
