The Maine Register.

The Maine Register. compiled by Mr.. G.

been published, and is for sale at $1.50 per
copy. The Register has now become book
OF over 800 pages. The first number issued
In 1870 contained less than 400 pages. This
increase represents in some degree the
growth of the state, but 1t is chiefly due to
an increase of subjects included in the book.
At Its first publication 20 years ago, in its
then diminutive form, it was very valuable
work; 1t has now grown to be almost indis.
pensable. 1t contains great fund of infor-
nation about the state, so arranged as to be
readily found, and the information is of a
most reliable character. This years issue
contains several new features, manly: the
census of 1880 by towns, the new state valu-

governor and congressman of each town in
the state. 1t contains 20 more pages than last

humed at st. Helena for transportation to
France. With that likeness, somewhat
CHASTITY but very true to life, many readers
OF the PRESS are doubtless familiar through
pictures taken from the mask made at the
same time, and widely copied. 1t was said
at the time Napoleon's body was exhumed
that the embalmer had been very successful
In preserving 1t from dissolution. Louis
Philippe, then Emperor Of France, ordered

most famous portraits of the great Corsican
The daguerreotype which Mr.. Green has is
an exact representation of the painting. So
true Is 1t to life that when it was shown by
Mr.. Green to the late DR.. LeP rohon, the lat
ter, with the enthusiasm of true French
man, threw up his hands and exclaimed:
1T looks exactly as Napoleon looked as he
lay in state In the Tuilleries after he had
been brought back to France. 1 saw the

He brought with him the painting of Napo-

leaving the painting In the care of Captain
Drummond. with the request that it be for

city, who was going to France. But DR..
Cummings failed to find Louis Phillippe's
old attache, the country then being In tur-
