When I first heard that a reeeetion was to be tendered 1 thouoht it would be contined to frietais and neiglitairs. It is so. I thought, as I had lived here since my a-Ith year.

as my public history began aud centered here. that those who had known toe for thirt y-tive years night extend a eoraial welcume- but I had no conception that men from all quarters of the State, from the extreme corner of the Commonwealth I love so well and which I have tried faithfully to serve in pulille stations, would have been here. Applause. You can have no conceution how it impresses one who has been for a year beyond the seas an exile from home. to meet a weicoine like thisunbounded in extent, unlimited in its cordiality, and beyond human speech to respond to.

Cheers. But you must take the will for the deed, for my words cannot reach the borders of this vast assembly. I am deeply indebted to you who come from other towns and cities. But greeting at a mans own home goes to his heart more than any other and it is to you of Augusta, and of almost ad Maine, who have done me this great honor I pour out my thanks. Applause.

I have seen muell in my last year, much of many countries beyond the sea. but I have seen notning in any kingdom of Europe which did not give rue a deeper and more profound appreciation of my own country. lApplause.1 I have seen everything to make an American thank God he was burn under the soyereiunty represented by tne Stars and Stripes. I have seen nothing in European industrial systems that did not confirm me in the belief that the system of the United States is far wiser and more beneficent to every workingman and citizen than any we could borrow or imitate.

Gentlemen, this much I could not help saying outside that which was personal to the occasion.

For all you have none fur me. and for all the testimony the eloquent gentlemen have borao to toe kindly relations between myself and my fellow citizens of Augusta, without distinction of party, I give you my profoundest thanks. There is to me no Slate like Maine, no valley like the Eennebec, no city like Auguata, and no home like that home (pointing to his house). applause.

an imperfect estimate cart be made regarding the loss occasioned by the convent fire of last night. Dr. Callanan, the chaplain of the institution, is absent in Europe, but Father Evers, who is acting in his stead. said today that the total loss Wee not far froip Experienced builders who viZted the smoking ruins during the day said that a similar set of could not be put up for less than $500,000. Judging from Information gleaned from the different fathers conuected with the conveut the contents must have cost Over $250,000.

The convent library was a rare and valuable one, consisting of some 15,000 historical and religious volumes. It cannot, of course, be duplicated, and probably cost Mieie, for many of the works were exceedingly rare aud valuable. The large organ in the chapel was lost, as were fifty or sixty pianos. Many precious relics were destroyed, the collection of which has occupied nearly litty years. All of the clothing and personal effects of the sisters and resident scholars were also lost.

Out of the large number of valuable paintings owned by the convent only a few were rescued so rapid was the progress of the flames. Little of the furniture was saved, and it wilt be of little use or value wheu gathered together from among the trees, Where it is now scattered. The altar furniture and plate, together with the rich vestments, were fortunately removed in tune. The insurance is at present unknown, but Father Evers said he believed it to be in the neighborhood of There appears to be lime doubt that the fire originated from a tuners' sheet-iron stove. THE CoN VENT PROPERTY VALUABLE.

The Manhattanville Convent property. where the convent burned last night. was Purchased from Pierre Lordlara, the tobacco man, about 1e40. By a covenant regularly made between the Order of the sacred Heart and the corporation of the City of the New York the convent grounds, embracing the immense area of ninety acres and running without a break for more than twelve city blocks, reckoning from south to uorth, are to be forever intact from disSection by the city authorities. The value of the convent: grounds is almost incredible.
