PERSONAL.

James Russell Lowell says that he is going to spend the remainder of his life in this country.
 Private Secretary Halford has not wholly recovered his health but is feeling better than he did some weeks ago.
 Keziah Randall of Mattapoisett, Mass. was one hundred years old on Wednesday. She attributes her longevity to outdoor activity. "When I am gone," she says, "they cannot say I rusted out"
 Black Bart, who is known to fame as s'the lone highwayman of California" has, it is thought, gone to China or Australia. Over thirty robberies of stages and express trains are attributed to this Napoleon of the stand and-deliver game.
 Says literary gossip: "I chanced to see few days ago letter written by one of our large publishing houses, addressed to Jay Gould, in which the offer was made of $50.- 900 cash and royalty of 40 per cent. on all volume of "reminiscences to be written by the noted tinancier. I say 'written-I should have said 'dictated,' for the use of compe- tent stenographer was included in the offer. But proposition involving $5O,ooO is prob ably very insignificant matter in Mir. Gould's eyes, and he has Tot yet even ventured reply to the letter."

Walker, the eldest son, is bachelor, but being thorough club man the Blaine household sees little of him. The mothers with marriagcable daughters who make Washington their rendezvous dur ing the society season-and the town is full of them-have had Walker Blaine on their list for long while, but they find him hard fish to catch. Walker is not more than thir- ty-tiye and from the way the married men who belong to the club talk he is led to feel that man at his period of life is better of single than married. He thinks he can see ahead of him ten or fifteen years of good time before he begins to look around for wife,

Sixteen Monuments Dedicated on the
 Battlefield.
 The 16 monuments erected by the state of Maine on this battlefield have been christ ened. The county court house was crowded with the 400 veterans of the Pine Tree state and the usual quota of citizens to witness the formal exercises of dedicatiOn.f Gen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain, eX.GOvernor and colonel of the 2Oth Maine regiment, made the opening address. Rev. Theodore Gerrish of the 20th Maine regiment offered prayer, after which Gen. Chamberlain of Bangor, chairman of the executive committee and assistant adjutant- general of the 2d division of the Sd corps and inspector of artillery, made the address pre- senting the monuments to the Governor of the state. Gov. Edwin c. Burleigh accepted them in a few appropriate remarks, and then transferred them to the Battlefield Memorial Association, J. M. Krautz, the secretary, receiving them. An eloquent memorial ad- dress was made by eX-Gov. Seden Connor, and Rev. G. R. Palmer of the 18th Maine reg iment closed the exercises with the benedic- tion.
 The monuments are of granite and are ap- prOpriately inscribed. They are located as follows: Third infantry, in the peach orchard 4th, at the devils den; 9th, at Little Round Top; 9th, at Wright avenue, near Taney- town road 7th. at Wolf hill; 16th, at Rey- holds avenue; 17th, in the south wheat field; 18th, at the clump of trees: 20th (two monu- ments), at Little Round-Top and Big Round Top; 1st cavalry, four miles east of town; Halls battery, on the Chambersburg pike Stevens battery, on Culp's hill; Dow's bat tery, at Hancock avenue; Sharpshooters, on Snyder farm.

SELLING EXAMINATION PAPERS.
Serious Allegations Against Civil Service
 Officials Repeated.

Omc18ls Repeated.
 Some time ago the. Washington Post charged that the civil service law was being violated by the civil service commission. It charged that the commissioners, while requir- ing all department clerks to be appointed after examination and certification by the commission, nevertheless appointed the clerks to the commission without requiring them to pass an examination, and alleged fa- voritism in their appointments. Subsequent ly it made more serious charge, viz, that examination papers were being stolen and sold by clerk in the commission who had been retained in office and promoted, not withstanding his guilt had been discovered. The Post has four-column article in sub stantiation of this latter and more serious allegation. It says that lady who went to teacher in Washington for instruction preparatory to taking the examination was furnished by the teacher, for consideration, with 8 copy of the questions subsequently asked. These questions, it says, were in the hand- writing of Mir. Campbell, one of the clerks to the commission and brother-in-law of Commissioner Lyman. The matter was mans attention, and the published account says that the next morning Commissioner Lyman told MT. Oberly that his Uyman's) wife was perfectly overcome, that a public exposure would kill her, and that Campbell was as penitent as he could be. The matter was then hushed up, although called to Presi- dent Cleveland's attention, and Campbell was subsequently, promoted at time when Mr. Lyman was the sole commissioner. A long interview with former officer of the commissioner, now holding another govern ment office, is printed in support of the charges made, together with corroborating letter.

20 (MASS0 BRIGADE AT LYNN.
Twenty-Five Hundred Men Mobilize, Marc1
 and DemOlish an Imaginary Mob.


 and Demolish an Imaginary Mob.
 The 2d brigade, Massachusetts volunteer militia, mobiized at Lynn the 30th inst. The stars and stripes and every symbol of unity and liberty endeared to the heart of the loyal American citizen were thrown to the October breeZes. The announcement that the forces would concentrate in that city awakened more than local interest, and from early morn until noon, and even after, the incom- ing trains brought throngs of visitors. From the arrival of the 9th regiment at 10 o'clock martial strains resOunded throughout the city. The civic gave way to the military, and even the very streets and houses took on an aspect that suggested to the veteran the days of '61, when the response was made to Pres ident Lincoln's call for troops. The sight of the men accoutred, equipped, armed and prOvisiOned, was a novel one to the local pop ulace, and one long to be remembered, as outside of Boston no such a demonstration has ever been seen in the State, with the eX- ception or the camp at Birmingham.
 A feature of the days duty which was of great interest was the attack, capture and destruction of street barricade. This bar ricade was constructed at the southwesterly corner of Market and Liberty streets, and was a much more formidable affair than could possibly have been raised by any ordinary mob. It was constructed of at least IS dumpcarts, such as are in the city's service, and they had been most elaborately. joined, making barricade that would have delighted the heart of the most enthusiastic communist. At this point an immense number of specta- tors had gathered, hOusetops and windows being covered with human beings.

Are Dined by Secretary Blaine and Start
 on Tour of the Country.
 The first of series of elegant banQuets which are to be given in many of the princi- pal cities of the United States. in honor of the nations guests from Central and South America, to the Congress of American Ma tions was given by Secretary of State Blaine, at Washington, Oct. 2. Covers were laid for 54 guests. Secretary Blaine occupied the central place at one end of the table, with Secretary Windom as his vis-a-vis. Mir. Blaine had on his right the Brazilian delegate, Counsellor Lafayette, and on his left the ChiE ian delegate, Dr. Varas.
 The dinner lasted from 7.3O to after 10 o'clock. There was no speechmaking save few remarks from MT. Blaine at the conclu- sion of the banquet. In few happily chosen words he dismissed the company and pro- posed toast, which was drunk standing. He said: ssBefore we part for the excursion, which to large number of this company will begin tomorrow morning, and hope will terminate happily, will offer single toast-the perpetual friendship and pros- perity of all American states.
 The delegates next morning made their way to the Pennsylvania Railroad station, where the yestibule train was early an object of admiration by great crowd of sightseers. The delegates were received at the station by MT. Wm. 10. Curtis, the special agent of the State Department ill charge of the excursion. Many friends of the delegates accompanied them to the station, and the scene was an animated one. At quarter past the warning s'all abroad" was given, and prompt ly, on schedule time, the train started on it's long journey.
