Game In the Olympics.

Game was plentiful and easily killed. the
wild animals seeming scarcely TO be startled at
the approach OF man. Elk. deer aud bear were
met with In great numbers. OF the latter they
met species unknown elsewhere-sn animal
larger than the ordinary back bear with an al
moss red coat OF short hair; a timid creature
when first approached but ferocious and fierce
when angered. TIE black Canada grouse were
quite Plentiful but their flesh tasted strongly of
spruce buds on which they seemed to live.
There was also much small game.

pronounced reprimand in the course of remarks
made before the French Senate the other day.

rights within certain well-dehned limits a. to
the fisheries, and had enjoyed them for go
years. that the British government had given
formal assurance that 1t would now and hence
forth. as heretofore, respect those rights. aud
he gave notice that France had no occasion to
treat or negotiate with the province on sab
ject which had been settled By treaty with the
mother country. England cannot shift nor New

France and Europe Since Ia4a.

As may be seen by advertisement Prof.
Alonzo Trip Of Boston, the well known
traveller, author and lecturer on Europe,

course of his descriptive stories on the
latest great epochs of French and European
history with personal "reminiscences of the
prominent actors, including the mementous
eastern question, threatening the peace of
Europe illustrated by large colored maps.
Prof. Trip has made his grand theme a life
work In circumstances of rare advantage for
fresh and exact information having been
al eye witness of the great Paris revolution
Of February and January, 1S4S, as we'll as of
other memorable events included in his
series and his graphic descriptions have been
delivered before brilliant audiences In all
parts Of the country.
1t may be remembered that Prof. Trlpp
made highly successful lecture tour in
Maine In 1873, and was warmly commended
by such gentlemen as President Chamber
lain Of BowdOin, Prof. Angel of Bates Col
lege, REV. DR.. Sheldon Of Watervlle and
Rev. DIR. Talcott of Bangor. The Professor
also gave full course in Fluent Hall In this
city to a large and cultured audience, in
trodUced by Mayor KingsbUry, and received
warm letter of commentator from the
late John Neal. Esq. Since then, as we
learn the productions have been greatly i'm

MR., REEDS ELECTION.
What "Webb" TeIegraphed the Ros-

webb" of the Boston Journal, tele-
graphed that paper Monday night from
Washington:
"There was great interest manifested here
tonight over the election returns from Maine
This was especially true as to the district
represented by Speaker Reed. The Demo-
Gratis have been predicting his defeat, or at
least great reduction in his plurality. The
Post newspaper had made arrangements for
displaying the election returns, and large
crowds. of Democrats gathered in anticipa-
ton of a triumph. Their disappointment
was great as the news came in. At the head
quarters of the Republican congressional
committee a despatch came quite early In
the eve ming to Mr.. Clarkson. stating not on
ly that Mr.. Reed was elected. but that his
plurality might reach 1000 The despatch
was discredited, and 1t was not until late at
night that dispatches were received showing
that the plurality in fact was not far from
5000. 1t Is unnecessary to say that the Re-
publicans Of the House will be as elated as
the Democrats will be detected. The Repub.
licans of the House claim that it is yindi
cation of the policy of Mr. Reed"
