al od «t. Jlowdoln CoHegpo at the curly flips of sev¬ 
en toon, tn l«27 was ml m it tod to the bar, and two 
years thereafter moved to Portland. In 1681 ho 
wag elected tn the Legislature, and although the 
youngest member of the House, noon rose to 
distinction, both ns u debater and as a legislator. 
Declining a ro-olootlou, ho Applied himself very 
closely to the duties of his profession, and soon 
attained A very high rank. In Jkw fie was again 
chosen lt> the bogisluturo, and although the 
House was largely Democratic, mid Mr. Fessen¬ 
den an uncompromising Whig, was placed upon 
the Judiciary Committee, ami was tumlo ehufr- 
man of tho House Oomnilttov to revise the stat¬ 
utes of the State. In 1840 ho was elected toCou. 
gross, aud In 1864 to tho Somite, in 1.8(H he was 
appointed Secretary of tin- Treasury by Presi¬ 
dent Lincoln, with the understanding lluitf.fi©

was inadequate to his holding the position for 
any great length of time. Upon his retirement 
lrom this Secretaryship, ho was elected to tho 
Senate for tho third time, and immediately 
placed in his old position at the head of the Sen¬ 
ate Con mitteo on Finance. 
PROF. Constantine Tisoiiknoorf, the great 
Iliblical critic, is a largo and remarkably flno 
looking man, with toll lace, high bald forehead, 
and light hair and side whiskens. Besides the 
long list of honors which have been conferred 
upon him by Institutions, societies and sover¬ 
eigns in every hind, and which probably out¬ 
number those conferred upon any other living 
scholar, he has recently received a title of nobil¬ 
ity from his illustrious patron, the Emperor 
Alexander of Russia. Tho eighth edition of his 
Greek Testament, which may well be consid¬ 
ered the crowning work of his life, has already 
reached the conclusion of tho Tour Gospels, and 
tlio seventh part, to contain the Acts and Oat ho¬ 
llo Epistles, is promised for this autumn.

itc lias lived in comparative retirement.

A REMARKABLE feature iu the Androscoggin 
River, in Maine, has been brought out in the 
hydrographic survey, just ended, namely,—tho 
feasibility, at a low cost, of a “cut” from the 
Uinbagog Lakes to the Ellis branch of the An¬ 
droscoggin, through which the surplus of sixty 
miles of lakes can be made available, wholly in 
Maine, for the purpose ol power and log driv¬

from six hundred feet in their course to tho

An interesting discovery has just been made 
in Russia, namely, of a By7,anUno cameo in 
onyx, dating from the seventh century. The 
gem, which is Imbedded in a golden cup, pre¬ 
sented to the Cathedral of Ousponski by Cath¬ 
erine IL is two Inches iu length and of an oval 
form. Tho relief represents a cross surmounted 
by a medallion bearing the elligy of the Savior, 
accompanied by two figures of angt-is. An in¬ 
scription in Crock characters contains the name 
of the Emperor Loonilius, who reigned at By¬
