Monday and Tuesday, April I'd and Sd, will
long be remembered as red letter days in the
annals Of Sherbrooke, the geographical center
OF Steele county. The week opened with the
county fathers in session attending 10 the well
fare OF the county. In the afternoon Judge
Winslow was occupied in hearing the first
lawsuit ever tried In the town, In a case
brought By well known artisan against an
equally we'll known granger. The services Of
a jury being necessary to disentangle the legal
knot, 1t was with difficulty found without
securing the country al lound snd impressinp
every eligible man. As 1t was, only fve citi-
zens eligible to jury duty could be found, In
cluding the county treasurer. The deputy roy
lister OF deeds Was also selected, but as his s,l-
perior officer, with his usual bland smile, good
judgment and learning of the law, argued
against his sitting as juror, he was, with
consent of the parties, excused by his honor.
Tuesday, the county building was graced
with much more pleasant gathering than tho
previous day. The school "narIns" were out
In full force attending the regular examina-
ton In the county commissioner room. The
county ''dads," in order to do Justice to county
nffairs, thought best to leave their room in
possession of so much beauty, future pro-
fessors and mesdames superintendents, and
hied themselves to the Office of the Judge Of
probate, there to attend to county affairs and
listen with unbiased opinions to the arg tments
Of all who wished justice at their hands.

TRousLE IN THE LEAGUE.
The PapaI Rescript Creates Bitter
ness Between Bishop Ronacum
and Egan.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 27.-A meeting of
the executive officers of the international al
League of the various States, Is called by
President Fitzgerald to convene in Cleve-
land June II. The Papal rescript is the in
direct cause of the meeting, it having stirred
up much bad feeling among the members
of the League. Many prominent members
among whom was Patrick Egan, regarded
Rome's interference as entirely unwarrant-
ed and uncalled for. Egan publicly declared
that the interference of the church and &C.
cesiastical dignitaries with the political
management of country and race of which
their knowledge was necessarily superficial,
was deserving no attention. This declara-
tion brought storm upon Egan's head and
in few days Bishop Bonacum published
cards in which he called the delegate at large
a political trickster and denied him an au-
dience until certain offensive words should
have been recalled Egan came out in a card
in which he stated that Bishop Bonacum Is
acting entirely on false information and Is
allowing himself to be used as tool of de-
signing men. He closed his card as follows:
For my part, / ask no favor. | know my
rights as a citizen of the United States. as

Something More About the Adven'
lures Of Young Stain.

AUGUSTA, May 26-Recently evidence has
come to light locating young Stain In Sep
tember, 1877, shortly after his experience in
Gardiner, where he droyeoff bridge and
obtained damages from the tow, of West
Gardiner. The evidence comes from no.
torious horse thief whose operations have
been quite extensive in Maine and who is
now serving out term of three years in the
Charleston, Mass, State Prison. Recently
he was visited by Detective True of Halo
WELL who obtained the following statement
from him: "The day that Stain got out Of
Thomaston State prison he went directly to
Augusta. He boarded with Mr.. Furbush
on Water street two weeks While Stain
was there he worked in the card room of the
mill under an assumed name. He hired a
shop for shoe shop near the foot of Rines's
Hill, stole key and carried it away. Stain
at one time went under the name of Frank
White. He went to Wateryille the last of
February or the first of March, 1881. Ware
says Stain did not get out of State Prison
February 5. as he testified. lie was in Water
vile until June 1st when he left for Lewis
ton. In September, 1877, young Stain, my
self and Slippery Pete" broke into store
at Crowley's Junction, stole cigars, tobacco,
some Johnson's linimeDt and essences We
sold the cigars and essences to "Big Mary"
of Waterville. In the forenoon Stain and
"Slippery Pete" went into the store and got
luncheon of crackers and cheese, having
an eye to what they would steal. After en-
tering the store they went to Lewiston and
hired room which they occupied for some
time"
1t has been learned that young Stain, when
when he was about to receive his sentence
for horse stealing in Auburn, preferred to
be sent to State Prison as that would dis
grace his father more than simply term in

How the Queen of Italy Received the

[London Despatch to the Boston Globe.
/ have heard from an American lady, who
is a member Of the court colony in Rome.
some of the particulars of the presentation
of Mrs. Blaine, her daughters and Miss
Dodge to the Queen of Italy The Queen,
wishing to honor the family, S ent word that
she would receive them in private audience,
thus avoiding the formal dress and rigid eti-
quette of state ceremony. The dress worn
by the ladies calling was, therefore, the
same as worn in calling upon any lady. Mrs.
Blaine had been given all needful points Of
court etiquette. She was to wait for the
Queen to speak, and in no case to volunteer
any leaking remarks. The members of her
family were to be formally presented in
turn. When the Queen indicated her will
lingness to receive them, Mr.. Blaine accom-
panied his family, but as the special au-
dience was in Mrs. Blaine's honor, she came
first. The Queen received them in her pri-
vate audience chamber. She was seated up
on a sofa, and rose as the party entered.
The Queen Immediately asked Mrs Blaine
10 take seat at her side Mrs. Blaine here
presen ted each member of the party, as if
she were paying regular call, and this act
at once relieved the situation Of all formali-
ty. The Queen appeared to be especially
pleased with the informal character of the
interview, and chatted very freely, asking
the main questions. She speaks English
with great tiuence. She complimented Miss
Dodge upon her writings, with which she
professed familiarity, and was as cordial as
was the King in his special audience with
Mr. Blaine.
