The Late Luther Severance.
The following incidents ’ connected ‘
with the history of Mr. Severance, from
The Rural Intelligenccr, will be read ,
with interest : '
ah yesterday—-We made the acquaintance
ofa flaxen-haiged youth who came to
this place, just out of his apprenticeship
to Gales 56 Search, publishers of The
National Intelligencer, Washington -
He came as an adventurer in the print-
ing business, and issued proposals for a
paper, there was none in Augusta—aud
called it The Kennebec Journal. ‘ He
printed and editedhis own paper, setting
the types at his case from the thinking
machine of his own head. He proved to
be the ablest editor Maine ever had. In
less than five years the people forc=d him
into a seat in our Legislature, then hold-
ingits temporary sessions in Portland.
Afterward lie was chosen to the State
Senate again and again; then he was
forced into the Congress of the United
States; and less than twenty years saw
the poor apprentice boy that left Wash-
ington in 1825, seeking his fortune ‘down
East,” now amember of the National
Legislature in the same city, one of the
most talented, efflcient, and honored mem-
bers of that body. Meanwhile, he con-
ducted his paper with as inuch readiness
and fidelity, as ever.‘ He neversought
office, eupremelyjmodest, it was always
forced upon him, the favor was done by
him, to the public, not by the public to
him, whenever he ‘accepted a public trust
It was he that made, Millard Fillmore
Vice President of the United States, and
the death of General Taylor made him
President. Retiring from Congress to
the editorial post of The Kermebeck
Journal, his health began to fail him,
and President Taylor offered him an ap-
pointment as a Commissioner of 'the
United State.-fro the Sandwich Islands.
He was there four years, and returned
last summer with a cancer upon his un-
der Iip, which has now‘ eaten out the
whole lower portion of his face and into
his throat, and has destroyed the power
of speaking and masticating food ,‘ and
yet, true to his “ruling passion,” be con-
trives‘ to write articles every week for his
old paper, The Kennebec Journal.
From the same paper, we copy the
close of a feeling obituary of the deceas-
ed 2 . .
He could communicate with his fami-
ly’ only by writing; and the last words
he ever wrote were on’h'i’s dying bed, un-
der circumsiances which showed the
preparedness of his soul for its ascent to
the spirit land. Beckoning his daugh-
terto his side, with a faint hand tracing
the request upon’ a slate, he signified his
desire that she would sing.’ The request
was affecting; and she asked what, if
anything in particular, he most desired
her to sing. He seized the pencil, and
with, a ‘trembling, dying grasp, wrote-—
“I, would not live alway, I_ ask not to stay.”
One can conceive how, amid bleeding
hearts and weeping eyes, a dutiful child
nerved herself to soothe the departing
spirit of a fond father with the melody
of that affecting song. At its close, he
beckoned to a faithful religious brother,
who had stood by him during all his suf-
ferings since his_ return to Augusta, to
kneel at his bedside and pray. He did
so; and God heard that prayer. Lutli
er Severance is. in more—-rather, he is
forever. No man could be taken from
among us m_ore universally beloved, or
more sincerely lamented. All feel to‘
be mourners. The City, the State, the
Republic, each has lost one of its most
valuable men. "His age was 57.
H? The editor of the Richfield (‘-Mo.)
Enterprise apologises for the non-appearu
ance of that paper, for three weeks in
the following manner:
« "‘ - ”" “At the‘time we should
have been procuring paper, we were in
the territory of Kanzas, doing, as we
consider, a good deal towards the ad-
vancemeut of pro-slavery. interest, and
giving to the territory institutions simi-
ilar to those of our own great State. We
hope this apology will be satisfactory,
and promise better things in the future.
We have failed to publish the Enter-
prise -for three weeks, which we prom-
ise to make up by way of extras, when.
ever necessary to do.”
In another part of the same sheet he
says:
“VVe have solemnly pledgedlour sa-
cred honor, one to the other, that the
North and East shall not dictate to us
concerning our institutions. If eastern
men choose to associate with and inter.
marry with negroes, they have the right
to do so, but they shall not force upon
us the necessity of following their im-
moral and ‘infamous example.
We do not intend to make a threat,
but we will say to the eastern and nor-
thern abolitionist aiid free soiler, that
we have in Missouri one hemp factory
employed to_ make suitable rope for hang.
ing negro thieves, and bypli-l we will
use them."
We infer from the tenor of these ar.
ticles that "by" in the last line should
have been printed "in,” but we give it
as we find it.-—N. Y. Post.

Europe Revisited.---No. V.
THE EXHIBI'gI}t:)gl INADGURA-
PARIS, May 16th, 1855.
The day to which the opening of the
“Palace of Industry” had been postpo-
ned——Tuesday, May 15--opened gloom-
ily and humidly, like all the days thus
far of this cloudy, rainy, chilly Parisian
May. Ifancied it poured harder from
daylight to sunrise or after than it had
done at any time during the two previ-
ous weeks, and the usually clean streets
of Paris were muddier at noon than I
'_had ever seen them. By 8 o’clock, a
throng, mainly of gazers, began to col-
lect about the Exhibition Palace; at 10
when the doors were advertised to be
opened for the admission of ticker-hold
ers, a long queue had been formed before
each entrance, and some thousands wai-
ted in the now moderate rain with vari-
ous degrees of patience for the doors to
open, which they did some half an hour
afterward. The several streams now
poured inward with such impetuous ea-
gerness that in ten minutes more than
ten thousand persons must have entered
but when the mob of: exhibitors or sea-
son ticket holders proceeded to follow
their nasal organs in quest of the ‘best
places for observation, they were quick-
ly repulsed by civil functionaries or sol-
diers, who told them quite decidedly
that those places were reserved for per-
sons blessed with rose tickets——persous
admitted on white or yellow tickets be-
ing required to fill up the background.
By this arrangement a very brilliant dis-
play of dazzling toifettes was secured
for the front rows of the vast gallery,
presenting, especially at the ends and on
the side facing the throne, the semblance
of a gay, bright parterre, and veiling,
for the time the general nakedness cau-
sed by the extreme" backwardnesss of
the fittings up and preparations. There
were individuals of the homelier sex in-
termingled here and there, but the gene-
ral aspect of the galleries, as viewed
from the ground floor, was that of two
or three rows of highly dressed women
seated in front, with three or four tiers
of men sitting or standing behind them.
Soon the ground floor, except the large
central portion reserved for the dignita-
ries and notables, began to fill_ with a
dark mass of men, with here and there
a woman among them, and thus were
some twenty thousands of us wedged
together by 11 o’clock, forbidden by the
order of the day‘to move-from our posts
until the performances should be over,
with no device for killing the two mor-
tal hours appointed to intervene before
the arrival of the Emperor, except the
poor resort of looking at the. dignitaries
as they severally arrived, and wonder-
ing whether this tall fellow in scarlet
was the Papal Nuucio or some Arab
sheik; or whetherthat new arrival in
court dress was a Minister Plenipoten-
tiary or-one of the lacqueys pertaining
to the Tuileries. I speak of this as the
sole. resort, without forgetting that for.
two thirds of the vast assemblage ‘it
was utterly unavailable, they being un-
able to see over the lieadsof those be-
fore them and through the various struc-
tures ‘interposed between their respec-
tive stand points and the central space
aforesaid.
-I had a back seat but a very good
position in the gallery, facing the main
entrance below, and affording an excel-
lent View (by standing up) of the cen-
itral mob of Ministers of State, Sena-
tors, Embassadors, Prefects, Sac. This
filled up steadily and rapidly from before
11 till something after 12, when the
supply of raw material appeared to be
exhausted. Each as he entered, was
conducted or shown to hisplace, the la-
dies receiving special attention as was
fit. Generally, Prince Jerome Napole-
on, (Chief of the Imperial Commission)
or some sub-master of ceremonies, was
waiting at the entrance to give an arm
to :1 lady or show his place to each
cavalier. This done there ensued
an awkward silence of expectancy for
perhaps half an hour. At length, some
ten minutes befor 1, the booming of can-
non from the Invalides gave the wel-
come intelligence that the Imperial cor-
tege was about to leave the Tuileries,
though in fact it did not start till some
minutes later. Boom, boom, sounded
the guns as the Emperor and his party
rode through double lines of soldiers
from his palaceio the door of ours, with
“cent guards" and curassiers before and
behind, forming an out door show that
entirely eclipsed anything that we en
joyerlinside. At length Napoleou’s su-
perb tumout-—-a chariot and eight horses
(the first six led by mounted grooms in
stunning livery) drew up at the grand
enuance, the Princess Mathilde and an
manner of sub-Imperial personages and
officers of the household having just
preceded in several six horse state coa-
ches. All were received and seated in
the order of their coming, the Emperor
and Empress entering last amid the loud
though not many voiced acclamatioiis of
their admirers, and the melodious strains
of "Partant pourla Syrie” from the or-
chestra seated in the gallery just behind
me, which had remained stubbornly si-
lent till now, though the rhousands_ who
had been painfully standing or sitting
consirainedly for the last two hours
would have been g1'€3”Y 0011390 for 3“
air 0, two meanwhile. I really do not
perceive that the Imperial dignity would
have suffered from this beguilement of
our tedium. Grant that the comfort of
such common clay. as exhibitors and
ticket buyers could not for a moment be
considered, it does seem to me that the-
crowd of Embassadors, Ministers, Bish-
ops, Senators and other bright plumed
birds, who had been invited expressly to
add prestige and eclac to the imperial
ovation, had fairly earned this courtesy.
Napoleou’s appearance was as unim-
posing and unprepossessing as usual,
Mathilde if ever attractive is no longer
so, Eugenie is one of the few women
whose beauty is not lost on the gazer
because of the injudicious exaggeration
of courtly idolatsrs. Few Queens can
with truth be characterized as even pret-
ty, she is all this and somethirfg more.

her comeliness, if she were defective in
form or feature, she would be driven to

his proper post. at the head of the cor-._

the procession, leaving out all theermino

without a very considerable demonstra-

to a dead halt at the barrier the soldiers

barriers with great difficulty; and ther-
upou a great rush was made inward by
the outsiders with considerable success.
At length by struggling and pushing it

actually went through his-. predetermi-

very good-natured and respectful,‘ but
still more intent on getting their nijoueyl
