Saturday afternoon was the time ap-
pointed for eulogies in the National
House on the life and public services
of the late member of that body from
the Third Maine district Hon. Seth L.
Millikcn. All acquainted with the
man will feel that those exercises on
Saturday We're characterized by a
depth Of feeling not always associated
with such occasions. Mr.. Mlliken' $
career in the House was long and
distinguished one. He possessed in
high degree those qualities which
win true friends and hold them fast
and abilities which commanded the re-
spect not only Of his associates in
Congress but of all those to whom he
was known. Realizing this we may
understand that the eloquent tributes
paid to his memory We're spoken I'm

The opponents of Hawaiian annexa-
ton persist in overlooking the fact
that the legislative branch of the
Hawaiian government was elected on
the annexation issue. Instead of re
cogizing this they moan that the peo-
pie of Hawaii are not to pass upon the
question at all. Well. the people of this
country are not to pass upon it any
more than are the Hawaians nor have
they directly done so whenever We
have annexed territory.

In the canvas of Mr. Mathews we find he has deviated from the common representation by painting Judith as going on her terrible errand.
 This is a very good example of Mr. Mathews excellent conception of Bib- lical subjects. His composition Is ex- cellent, his color scheme satisfying, and his drawing is a good illustration of his unusual skill. which MT. Seymore Thomas kindly scid was unexcelled in any of the artists of his acquaintance.
 This picture was exhibited at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, where it re- ceived a great deal of favorable atten- tion.
 The subject of Judith is a favored one with MT. Mathews, for hanging very near the one just described is an- other, a pastel. expressed with much feeling, and representing the heroine in the act of entering the tent. Here the artist has admirably sucC eeded in de- picting the strong will and determined purpose that are characteristic of the woman subject

AS she met him now, laughing, she told him she was just about to color dozen Easter eggs for him to take back to Washington but he had come too soon, and they were not ready.
 He might have turned her remark nicely by saying something about the impossi- bility of seeing her too soon, but the cap tain was too awkward for that.
 Instead he said, as he pointed to some colored cloth in her hand:
 What color will they be, Miss Kate?"
 Cray she responded promptly and ton of his innocent question. Tt is my color, Captain Leonard and to be knight of this lady you must wear the color she gives you. But why did you come so early to stop me at my work?" she added, still lightly enough. Papa was expect ing to return in time to meet you and do the honors, but here you are and what is ever to be done with you?'
 She looked at him ruefully, and he smiled. but there was a shadow In 1t.
 Tt was my only opportunity. Miss Kate," he replied seriously. II am ordered away to leave Washington on Monday and join my regiment before Richmond at once. Men are needed there. and 1 am only too glad to be able to do what I can for my country
 The lines in Rates face grew hard at his words, and she looked at him as if she would speak as she had often spoken before, but she restrained the first im- pulse and waited for him to go on.
 II thought I would like to see you once more before I went away" he continued

that's Yankee But I do wish sometimes that l was man so 1 could fight Captain Leonard
 Kate was fully in earnest, too. and her father was careful not to banter too far. seeing that he had done so once to his great discomfort, for the pretty Kate was not all angel.
 In the midst of the egg coloring Aunt Mary, the cook. came hurrying to the house as fast as she could

 But it was too late. for even as Aunt Mary was performing her errand of mercy, the captain rode up to the house and he saw Kate at the kitchen window as he swung round the corner of the lawn. AS Aunt Mary had said. he was two hours ahead of time and Kate almost lost her temper at the promptness of the man, for there was no one on the place to re- ceive and entertain him except herself and there was no escape. He had stopped beneath the shade of large tree in the yard and there Kate, like true house. wife in her working attire, appeared be- fore him with basket of eggs and color ing paraphernalia in her hands, and the captain thought he never saw her look ing half so pretty. That he was in love with her needed no angel come from heaven to proclaim to all the Eastern Shore It was in his eyes, his face, his hands his voice, his manner.

do us the most harm of any one, or all on earth; and, with her on our side. we need not fear the whole world. With her. then. we should most sedulously cherish cordial friendship; and noth- ing could more securely knit our af- fections than to be fighting side by side, purchase even her amity at the price of taking part in our wars. But the war in which the present proposition might engage us. should that be its conse- object Is to introduce and establish the American system of keeping out of our land all foreign powers; of never per mitting those of Europe to intermeddle to maintain our own principle; not to depart from It. And if, to facilitate this we can effect a division in the body of the European powers and draw over to surely we should do it.
 But am clearly of MT. Canning's opinion that it will prevent. instead of provoking Rrft war with Great Britain into that of our two continents, all Eu- rope combined could not undertake such war. For how would they propose to get at either enemy without superior fleets? Nor is the occasion to be slight ed which this proposition offers to pro- test against the interference of any one in the internal affairs of another, so aagitiously begun by Bonaparte, and now continued by the equally lawless alliance calling itself "holy."
 But we have first to ask ourselves question. Do we wish to acquire to our own confederacy any one or more of the Spanish provinces? I cordially confess that 1 have ever looked upon Cuba as the most interesting addition that could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida point, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico and the countries and the isthmus bordering on it, as we'll as those whose waters would flow into it, would fill up the measure of our. .po- litical we'll being. Yet, as I am sensible that this can never be obtained. even
