^873. Tb? HTaiM? Election. I - A State election yrlti! take place In Mefne, on Monday next. The canvass thus far has proved to be a very quiet one; indeed, the indications nil point to a very general politioal apathy. Maina has been in the possession of the Radi cal paVy since the year 1854. The Badioai majority for Governor in 1870 wm 9,506; in 1871, it was 10,681, and in 1872 it was 17,316 votes. In 1868, Pre? sident Grant carried the State by 28,088, and in 1872 he carried it by 32,355 votes. From these Agares, it would seem that ocr Democratic friends have Hitie or no hope of redeeming the State from Badioai rule. The Boston Advertiser, a strong Badi? oai sheet, speaking of the candidates of the two parties, says: "They are, men whom their respective partisans may support with pride and with pure conscience No accusation was'ever made against the public or private character of either. Mr. Ding ley, the Bepublioan candidate, though a yonng man, has had a long experi? ence in public life. Mr. Titoomb, who is considerably older,--bus had scarcely any experience. Both are gentlemen, both are honest and upright, and both deserve the Honor which has been done ] them." Beatj Hickman.? That the world owes every man a living, is the favorite theory of the idle man. To oolleot this debt, is a more difficult matter. Few men have succeeded in this undertaking as | well ?b did the so-called "Beau Hick man," whose death has just oocurred. In his earlier years, Hickrnan was in the receipt of a small inoome supplied him by his family, on the condition that he ehoald keep his real name concealed. He was thus enabled to array himself in the typical purple and fine linen of the fop, and to display his "deportment" for the benefit of his leas elegant fellow orcnturcs. Every visitor to Washington knew him, and he snocessfally parodied the position onoe held by Bean Nash at Bath. Bat years brought poverty on Beau Hiokman, and latterly he became dependent entirely upon charity. He made open levies Upon all whom he met, and apparently considered that in exchanging his aeremonious manners and his endless reminiscences for the shillings of his bar-room audiences, he was giving a fall equivalent for the money. Outwardly, he seemed to enjoy his curious position; bat he ooald not have failed to*feel his humiliation. The . poor old man died penniless and friend? less in the hospital; and with what misery of utter loneliness must he have watched his wasted life slowly gliding from his grasp 1 ' B. S. Brans, Grand Master of Masons in the State of South Oarolina, has ad? dressed a very cordial letter of thauks to Deputy Grand Master' Ellwood E. Thorne, requesting him to express to the fraternity of New York and adjacent cities the warmest feelings of gratitude for the courtesies and honor tendered to the memory and remains of the late James L. Orr, Fast Grand Master of South Carolina, and late Minister of the United States to the Court of St. Peters? burg. At a recout meeting of the "Boston Grange of the Patrons of Hasbandry," Mr. Amiasa Walker, of Massachusetts, with a practical banker's perception of the necessities of the oase, very dearly showed that the farmers, in looking for relief against railway monopolies and extortions, mast look to Congress, and that in looking to Congress, the first thing to be done "is to eleot men to Congross whom you can trust," and uext you mast have specified measures upou which to bold them to a strict account? ability. The groat social event of the season occurred at Newport, yesterday after? noon, it being the marriago of Gharles E. Gregory, the millionaire of Jersey City, to Miss Fannie, daughter of Dr. J. Marion Sims, of this oity. The cere? mony was performed at All Saints' Chapel, (which was packed with the aristocracy of the Bummer population,) by Bev. Dr. Potter, of Graoo Church, New York. It was the most brilliant! affair of the kind that bos' ever occurred in Newport, and had been the promi? nent theme of conversation the entire morning. The ceremony was followed by a grand reception at the residonoe of Dr. Sims, on Key street, and the bridal ?arty took their departure for New ork, last evening, and from thero will proceed tc/Europe. , \New York Herald, 3d. At an election held at Graham's, on Monday, 1st inst., the following gentle? men were elected Intendant and Ward? ens of the town of Graham's, for the en? suing year: Intendant?Oliver Hewitt; Wardens?H. 0. Bide, G. W. Turner, H. Mima, B. G. Center. A new Democratic Executive Com? mittee has organized at Philadelphia, and dec tod Benjamin L. Temple Chair? man. IYjjmha, Ausnua, August 9, 1873. I had promised you a abort descrip? tion otTOfmfiflter^ suadenl^ere,|thop^ it> wottld |? mere investing, to give a retime of what LHoftce Ida!the -j?urno* hels, aid towels?-my letter on the Abbe until my return. The first place, wo landed was the old city of Antwerp, or Au v era, whore, for the first iico, I realized that English was not the only language in the world. ??-Ecgliau epoakiug man is t? nttiiy for whioh yau have to pay very high, einoe they are all commissionaires or interpret? ers, whose sole occupation is to swindle English and more especially American travelers. Any one who speaks even the least bit of French is perfectly in? dependent of them, because all the natives understand and converse ?uently in that language. A large portion of Antwerp is of recent build; the houses are magnifioent, especially on tho boule? vards, whioh are very wide and beauti? fully shaded with trees. The old or city proper is completoly?ntorsected with oanala and docks. In this part of the city the houses, are more squalid end the streets narrower and dirtier. Seve? ral parks, beautifully ornamented with statuary and miniature lakes, adorn the sity; but. its chief attraction is the Ca? thedral, whioh is very old, but is kept in suoh a good state of repair that it Booms of far more modern date than it really is. The chimes are said to bo one Df the finest in the world. The chim? ing is done by figures whioh play upon the bells with their handa and foot. The interior of tho church, like all old Catholic CathodralH, is very' massive. Ihe pulpit is of one solid piece of oak, most beautifully carved. Tho wholo is supported by four virgins, representing Europe, Asia, Africa and America. In tront of the main altar are two of Poter Paul Rubin's finest paintings?tho ele? vation of the orosscud the resurrect ion. Sere, too, is an old painting on ivory, ay Divinci, said to be the finest repre? sentation in Europe, but to my unap preciative eyes it seems too effeminate. The old Dutch women hold their markets in the opon air in tho middle of the streets, whero they sit tho wholo lay, some knitting, others sewing, while ihey wait for custom. This city is fortified with high embankments and a moat, which, though very grand, and sven beautiful, would make very poor show against modern wnrfaro. Brussels, or, as the Europeans call it, "Petite Paris," is like its foster mother, the most oharming place on the conti? nent. Every one speaks French, whioh renders it very easy to wander through the streets without getting lost. Belle Vue, the finest hotol here, is built ad? joining the Eing'e palace, which is a massive old building, continually guard ad by soldiers, although the King is at present at EmB, with the German Em? peror. Opposite the palace, through a magnificent old park, is the Belgian House of Congress, which, like ours, is divided into a Senate and Houso of Re? presentatives. The building is large, but nothing in comparison to ours. They have deoorated it very handsomely with painting and sculpturing. The celebrated painting of the bottle of Wa? terloo is in one of the principal com? mittee rooms. The chambers of both the House and Sonate are arranged like those of the House of Parliament, only far more convenient. Here tho King is -worn into office. Unlike other kings, he is not crowned, but takes an oath si? milar to that of the President of the Uuitod States. While here, we visited one of the largest laco manufactories in Brussels. To describe the making of it, would be as intricate as the lace itself. I can only say, they' sit with a large four-cornered cushion, literally covered with pins, to whioh are uttaohed the thread for weaving the lace. The thread is wound on little sticks. Theso are taken and thrown helter-skelter, and the iaoe seems to form itself from the posi? tion of the pins; not the way in whioh the bodkins aro throwu. One of the greatest objects of interest in Brussels is Wiertz'a gallery. Wierlz, one of Eu? rope's best artists, was said to have been deranged, and to havo painted these celebrated representations from his vivid and disordered imagination. Whether this be so or not, his paintings all show a certain wihlnoss of jubjoot and depth of imagination, but seldom equalled nnd never surpassed. Ho bus never sold any of his works, but at his death bequeathed them to the Govern? ment. His paintings arc in a Urge room in tho rear of his house. On the walls, in different positions, ho has painted some magnificent pictures, at which you have to stop and examine closely to see whether they are painting* or realities. Ho seetned vory fond of these surprises, which nioet you at every turn, and for which ho is so celebrated. The Cathe? dral at Brussels, though very large und grand, is not to bo compared to those of most European cities. Its chief orna? ment is a vory handsomely carved pul? pit; it represents Adam nnd Evo covered with Bhame iloeing from tho gardou of Eden. Around tho whole pulpit is coiled a largo serpent, whoso head is crushed by tho Virgin Mary, holding in hor firma the infant, Jesus. All in all, it is one of the most superbly carved pieces of wood-work I havo ovt>r seen. The streets of Brussels are daily swept by the Bolgiau women, dressed in largo wooden shoes, uud hence are so noted for their cleaulinoss. Tho buildings aro mostly large, and are tastily ueoorated with statues, carvings, edgings, &o. On tho boulevards, the beauty of the buildings is not marred by smaller houses, as moat of our fashiona? ble streets are. Belgium is densely populated, and every acre of ground is in its fullest otato of caltivution. The soil, though naturally poor, is so highly manured and so thoroughly worked, that it yields a mobt abundant harvest. Most of the labor is done by tho women; the men all enter the army, or are en gaged fnTOr?Vp^?fe^ is very level, even as mnoh eo, i should judge, es on oar. prairies of the freak .

At every action and aloDg the road are stationed troops; fortifloations and forte arebeingbuilr with the Frenoh money; in fine, every .preparation is being made for the war which, sooner or later, must ocour. Like all powers that have grown too great for the oa'ety of the neighboring nations, a combination mast be formed and the power overthrown. Prussia foresees this, and is spending the $5,000,000,000 of French debt in fortify? ing her frontier. The struggle will be j great, bat nevertheless fatal. Gologne, onr first destination, is oue| oi Germany's oldestfortified cities, with its moan and walls yet"'remaining. It is most celebrated for its Eau de Cologne manufactories, and the Cathedral, built here about the Bixth oentary. Here we took .the steamer for Mayence. The Rhino, like all glacier streams, is of a pale, muddy color, and not of tho beau? tiful blue we have been taught to be? lieve. Tho most interesting purt of the j river, both for its scenery and its his? tory, iies between Coblenceaud Bingen. The rest of Germany through which it flows is Ouly uiudo beautiful by tho lux? urious palaces built on its banks. Pic? ture to yourself the scenery of the upper | Mississippi, united to that of tho Hud sou, with a river largor than either flow? ing botweon its mountains, and you will have tho Rhine, with half its interest. Tho sides of the mountains are green with vineyards, aud the tops occupied by some old castle, tho legend of which tells us some romantic story of passed chivalry. A great inauv of the cuHtle.s havo been repaired, and ore now the resideuces of tho Germau nobility, but most of tbem stand nu ink rest for their past and u history for the present. There is littlo to be observed between here and Vienna, save that you never sec a house standing off tu itself. They build in little towns of from 200 to 500 houses, in order to drink their beer to? gether in the evoning. These little vil? lages are built mostly near the railroad, about every two miles, ou an average. Vienna, Austria, or Vienna or Wien, is at present the chief attraction of Eu? rope.. Ioun only say in this, that out? side the houses aro incomparably the finest in Europe. Everything is built in the most superb manuer; but more of this again. The Paris American Register, of the 18th, contains the following items: Senator Robertson and boo, who have been making an extended tour through Europe, arrived in Paris yesterday, from Vienna. The awards at the Vienna Exposition are to be distributed on Monday next, in the Imperial Riding Sohool, that be? ing the only place in tho city adapted for the purpose; Contrary to expecta? tion, the Emperor will not be present, but will be represented by his brother, the Arohduke Carl. Only a limited number of tiokots have been issued to exhibitors and to tho press. At the reception at Sohonbrunn, on Tuesday evening last, Governor Jewel], Minister to St. Petersburg, aud the Hon. Mr. Robertson, United States Senator from South Carolina, were pre? sented to the Emperor by Mr. Dulap laine, Secretary of Legation. ALPHA. House Struck dy Lightning.?The residence of Mrs. Mary S.
