Captain Charles Deering, commander
of the steamer Portland running be-
tween Boston and Portland. will this
month complete 80 years of steam
boating. having commenced as pilot on
the steamer T. F. Secor running be-
tween Bangor and Ellsworth. May Is,
iS46. He was three years on the Secor
and then ran as pilot on the steamer
Boston. between Bangor and Boston.
He then assumed command of the
steamer Creole. and ran her between
Boston and St. John. after which he
bought the T. F. Secor and ran her
from Boston to Machias. He was then
captain of the steamer Governor run
ming her for some time in Long Is
land sound. He was then pilot between
Portland and Boston. and later be-
came master of the steamer Daniel
Webster. engaged in carrying troops.
After the war Captain Deering re-
turned north: and established the
steamboat line between Portland
Mount Desert and Machas. continu-
ing with this line for 20 wears, two
years in command of the steamer City
of Richmond, and IS years in COM
mand of the steamer Lewiston He
was then sick for a time. after which
he chartered the steamers Forest City
and John Brooks. running between
Boston and Machias. Then he was
pilot for one year on the steamer Ken

consideration of the joint resolution ior
an amendment of the constitution pro-
viding for the popular eiectioh oi
United States senator's.
The river and harbor bill was taken

(which directs that all persons employed
on the public works of engineering en-
trusted 10 the engineer department
shall b. selected and hired by the of1i-
GERS OF corps of engineers In iocai

Icussion Involving the question or civil

Frye, in charge of the bill. spoke of
the fidelity with which the engineer
officers conducted these internai I'M
lprovement works free from politicai IN
fluences. and expressed the desire that
the amendment should be retained AT
least until there was time 10 examine
and understand the scope OF Mr. CieVe-
lands recent order. After some nis-
cussion the point of order was sus-
tanned and the amendment struck out

AS a seaside resort Petit Manan is
designed to be an improvement on Bar
Harbor where land which was sold in
1872 for SO per acre, has recently been
sold for s217, 900 PER ACRE.
Its advantages over Bar Earbor are
many. From no point in the most
thickly settled part of Bar Harbor can
a view of the Atlantic Ocean be OBJ
tained. Bar Harbor has no safe
anchorage for yachts, and the water Is
too cold for bathing. Petit Manan, on
the other hand, is directly ON THE
OCEAN. while its bays and coves
afford safe harbor for craft, and 1t has
a bathing pool ten acres in extent. of
naturally warmed sea water; the only
one on the Atlantic Coast.
A deer park in area nearly as large
as Central Park, New York, stocked
with several hundred deer. Norway

at slight advance over cost and will
sell lots with houses at from $1,000 up

send on application sketches of cot
tages ranging in price from $500 to
