have for two weeks been an inmate of
DR.. Gordon's private hospital which has
had during that time eight or ten patients;
and as it is in the same building as the
Maine Ear and Eye Intirmary, there
are about as many more patients from that
Institution. So we can really be called
the house of horribles, but, oh, if more
sufferers would only come here and go
home well as they indeed can, it would
indeed lessen the host of sufferers. want
to especially thank you for the copy of the

here. 1t was like seeing the face of IA

been to many others. l had pleasant

At length, to the great relief of the
public, the work Of erecting the long
talked-of Grant monument in Riverside
Park New York city, is begun. The Mon
ument committee has on hand about Sl54,-
600, which will be sufficient to meet the
expense of laying the foundation and per
haps erecting the first story of the struc-
ture. But the plan will require the ex-
penditure OF half q million of dollars, and
the hopeful chairman of the association
thinks that the necessary contributions
will quickly pour in as soon as the public
see that the enterprise has something more
to offer than an open palm.

Vessels Names.

We print on the first page of this issue
welI-written and highly interesting arti-
Gle on the subject of Vessels Names"
from the pen Of one of Hancock countys
most successful ship masters, who was, at
the time of his writing, in West India
port. Somehow or other-we do not know
just how-yessels' names are matter of
interest to great many people. During
the thirteen years which the writer of this
spent in I. S. custom house he made
quite study of vessels names, official
numbers, signal letters etc, and delighted
to pore over the annual list Of merchant
vessels Of the nited States. As boy We
found something attractive in vessels
name, and liked many of the names given
to the vessels in those days. Particularly
pleasing to our boyish ears were the Names
Armadillo, Amethyst and Leopard, borne
by vessels at that time. When We
we We're about ten years of age vessel
was built at Long Cove iu Sullivan, on the
premises on which we were reared. The
whole process of building was a very in
teresting one TO our boyish eyes, and we
connected with that vessel to which We
looked forward with the most ardent an
ticipation, was the naming of her, and
when we found one day that the name
''Grampus" had been painted on her stern
We were just little disappointed. 1t did
not sound quite right The vessel, though,
lived to a good old age, and proved to be
what sailors would call lucky vessel
The one name which charmed US most In
the years gone by was ''Vandalia," and
that was given to very pretty schooner
which was built at Sullivan by the late B.
f. ingalls,. She was afterward sold to
Ellsworth and is still. we believe, sailing
in and out of this port. When we ex-
anime the recent lists of vessels we notice
one fact with feeling akin to Indignation
and that is that no vessel has been named
for the one man who has done as much at
least as any other for the interests of
American shipping. We refer of course
to Representative Dingley of this State.
The absence of this name on our American
vessels must be due to thoughtlessness and
not to ingratitude or lack of appreciation
for great benefits by him conferred on
American shipping. We most respectful
ly suggest the one word "Dingley" as q
very appropriate name for some of the
vessels now on the stocks in Maine ship
yards
We print In this issue the prospectus
of that strong and able Maine daily and
weekly, the argus. 1t is bright, readable
paper, ably conducted, and-bating its pizen
politics-we wish it the most signal pros
perity.

Senator Hale's Address Before the Penob-
scot Bar on Hon. Hannibal Hamlin.

The memorial exercises of the Penob-
scot Bar in honor of the late ex-Vice Pres
ident Hannibal Hamlin were held at Ban
gor on the afternoon of the 25rd ult, in
the presence of a large attendance of
members of the bar and spectators. Chief
Justice Peters presided. Senator Eugene
Hale who had been announced as one of
those 10 speak on Mr.. Hamlin occupied q
seat inside the rail.
The exercises were opened at 1870 by
Hon 4. W. Paine, President of the Bar
Association, who spoke on the life and
character of MIR. Hamlin and introduced
the resolutions of the bar on the deceased
MIR. Paine was followed by Hon. ID. +.
Davis, Hon. 5. f. Humphrey and Senator
Hale all of whom spoke of Mr. Hamlin,
his character and career, in most eulogis-
tic and fitting terms. Senstor Hale's
effort, says the Bangor Commercial, was
particularly happy and well rounded one
and greatly pleased his hearers.
