Our ot the most agreeable entertain ments o| an epicurian kind which is given at Washington is that of Dr. Ninian T*tok ney, who stands second on the list of med ical directors, and is the nephew'of Wil liam 1’iekney and brother of itishop Pick ney. Dr. l'iokney's quarters are at the Washington navy yard, and he is celebra ted for feeding tinkers on English walnuts —administered whole, shell and all, with out cracking. A few weeks ago, I had (lie pleasure of attending a dinner given by ibis hospitable epicurtis to l’ay Director unninglmni. A turkey reposed in the centre ot the (able, of remarkable size, and ot a flavor not equaled by the most delicate capon, timbre we put the knife into tiiis dish for dives, another turkey was brought up to the door, and the process of feeding him was achieved, fourteen lull, large walnuts, whole, were put in the wondering fowl’s bill, and slipped down the gullet by the fingers, outside. As the first walnut went down, the turkey looked up with one eye, in a battled son ot way, as if wondering whether lie was assisting at a comedy or going to execu tion. At the third walnut, he turned up both his eyes, as if now assured that it wa* not (lie intention to kill him by starvation. At the iiltii walnut, his inquisitiveness was unbounded, and as lie wore the look of a man who had been reading a thrilling ston in the Ledger, and hail very suddenly Imniped up upon the words, ••To be con tinued in our next." f'outinued it was: and, alter the seventh walnut, Sir Turkey gave up the conundrum, closed his eyes resignedly; and. when the fourteenth wal nut slipped down his gullet, and they were all rattled by the hand, so as to pro duce from the bird’s interior sounds as of a macadamizing job going on there, his expression was plainly to be road. “Gen tlemen, you know wliat this is for, and 1 presume that your consideration lor my self will enable me to reflect upou the performance with the eye of faith." it takes about three weeks to fatten a turkey in this way, for the animal, unlike the mills of the gods, grinds exceedingly small but very fast, lie undergoes considerable digestive wakefulness, but the secretions come to his rescue; the shells are melted down, and the walnuts are assimilated, so that lie matures in a fractional part of the life he had been destined to. It seenis that this trick had been discovered on the way round ape Horn on certain naval vessel which contained many turkeys, and nothing to eat. A humorous officer said that, sooner than see his turkeys starve, lie would feed them on the table dessert. A few of the animals died, but the major ity survived, nmtjprovcd to be palatable beyond all previous experience. The ex periments made with turkeys are said to demonstrate the fact that fourteen walnuts is the limit which a bird can stand, and that less than eight will not produep the flavor attainable.— II'ashington letter to L'hienyo Tribune.

Wo apprehend no harm to the interests of our .State on account of whatever has been or may be done in accordance with plans de veloped. The managing power will have the means in their hands to improve out railroad facilities. That they will do it we have little doubt. The same enter prise which has prompted them to the un dertaking already entered upon will urge them to make all improvements necessa ry to public convenience. It will also he for their interest to be liberal and pub lic spirited in their management, so that the people will feel that their needs, rights and comtort are duly respected. A selfish, narrow policy would prove disad vantageous to all concerned. The Maine Central lias done a great deal to improve our means of travel. It had difliculties to encounter which will lie removed under the new management. With its opportu nities it did well. We hope that the new arrangement into which it has entered may prove one of the best measures of the company. But u it be as we understand the pur pose of the Eastern Ballroad to remove the offices and shops of the Maine Central from this city to Portland, we think it will do an unwise tiling. There are many reasons against such a change, some of them of the greatest importance to the company. Blit they have a right of course to do what they please with their own. New rulers make new laws, but it docs not follow that all changes are wise. Those who have had the management and know the history of pie Maine Central would never consent to such a change we be lieve. The plan which the movers in the new enterprise have in view lias already been shadowed forth in our columns. The de tails of it are stated quite particularly in the following editorial which appeared in the New York Evening Post of Thursday last, with other schemes or conjectures of the writer. A correspondent ot the Kreuing l‘oat at Middletown, Conn., has several times referred to the negotiations ol certain railroad compan ies for the purpose of securing a new through line between New York and Boston, and re ported rumors to the effect that the ultimate object was to make a further grand combina tion for the purpose of securing an unbroken railroad connection between New York and Halifax. Ilis conjectures seem to he con firmed by the reports which we find in the Maine and Massachusetts newspapers. The plan on this end of the line is fur the New York end New England Railroad Com pany, formerly the Boston, Hartford and Erie, j "hose terminus was originally established at Newburgh on the Hudson, to lease the New Haven, Middletown and Willimantic Rail road, which will be completed in a few weeks, and establish an “air line" from Boston lu New Haven. Beyond Boston there has been much talk of a consolidation of the Eastern Uailroad from Boston to Portland, the Maine Central from Portland to Bangor, the Euro pean and North American from Bangor to St. John, and finally the railroads from St. John to Halifax, which are now rapidly approach ing completion. The central figure In this grand combination appears to be the Kastern Railroad, and the newspapers assert confi dently that in a few days the Maine Central road will formally come nnder its manage ment. The Eastern we believe, Is one of the moel seooeesful of the New England roads, and if it baa taken hold of this enterprise it “meana business.” it is said that cars will run through without change by means of a marginal road around Boston if the scheme succeeds. It will be seen that such a combination may be of extraordinary importance in the future. When the railroad connection is finally made between New York and Halifax, undoubtedly a good deal of the travel and some of the trade of the European steamers will take this land route, saving much time and the annoy ances of a long sea voyage, which is especial ly objectionable in the spring and fall. To most persons who visit Europe, either for pleasure or business, the saving of two days of the ten or twelve now required to cross the water would be a decisive argument as to the route. The tourists between the Western States and Europe will be particularly pleased with this saving of time, giving them an op portunity to stop over, if their business re quires it, in eastern cities. The new route, however, will suggest other improvements for the benefit of the North- western Slates and Canada. There is no, reason why these sections should not be con nected with Halifax by a direct railroad line from Dotroit through Canada, Northern er- mont, New Hampshire aud Maine. Indeed, this line might linve been far under way but for the selfishness of the Canadian politicians and financiers. It was proposed several years ago, before the European and North American Railway was finished, to construct a railroad from Quebec to Halifax. Of courso it was ex pected that this line would take the shortest route, which would cross Maine at least one j hundred miles soutli of its northerly bounda ry hut the Canadian statesmen selfishly j consented to assist the enterprise only in con sideration that it should he confined to Ca»n da. The consequence is that this Intercolon ial Railway-, taking a long circle around the state of Maine, lias ever since been vainly struggling to obtain an existence. But another and a more feasible plan was proposed three or four years ago, and will probably be revived when the other roads shall be open to Halifax. This is for an ex tension ot the European and North American Kailwav across Maine from a point on the Penobscot Hirer above Bangor to a point near the northern border of New Hampshire, and thence connect with the Canadian railways. The fact that the European and North Amer ican Company have within a few days leased the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad, which might constitute a part of this line, encourag es the belief that they propose to undertake this enterprise at an early day. With the success of all these combinations. Halifax would at once become the great port of entry and departure for European travel, and the tour to Europe would he vastly more agreea ble than now. THE AUGUSTA CAUCUS. The caucus held in this city on Saturday evening bears upon its face an appearance of something worse than Modoc treachery. Two divisions of the same political family —members of the same party—met in caucus under an arrangement generally known days before the time appointed, by which the delegation to he selected lo represent the city at the State convention was to he divided equally between Ding Icy and Stone. A ticket was prepared on which one-half the names were the friends of Dingley and one-half ihe friends of Stone, the Dingley men selecting their names and the Stone men theirs. At the caucus all the Dinglev men who voted supported this ticket faithfully and accord ing to agreement, presenting no other ticket. A few of Mr. Stone's friends vot ed this ticket, but nearly the entire strength of Stone was cast for another ticket, com posed entirely of Stone men, prepared without regard to and in defiance of the arrangement into which his leading friends had entered. The Dingley men trusting in the good faith of Mr. Stone’s friends, made no effort lo rally any strength at the caucus, while the Stone men were out 'in full strength. Under such circum stances of course there could he but one re sult—tho election of the Stone ticket. X'o flag of truce ever protected a Modoc in his treachery more effectually than the union ticket aided tho Stone men to slaughter Dingley in tho caucus. lhese arc tho simple facts. There is this apology made by some of the Stone men who disregarded the arrangement for the union ticket, that they were not consulted about it and could not rightfully be bound to accept it. AA'e recognize the force of this argument. No one will insist more strongly than ourselves upon the right of a voter to free choice and action in caucus. The Dingley men have no fault to find with those who honestly base their action on sucli grounds, but those who knew ar.d consented to the plan of dividing the del egation, and then gave their influence di rectly or indirectly to the support of the Stone ticket, are justly chargeable with deception and want of laitli. Some of the Stone men kept their faith nobly, but some we regret to say were as treacherous as Captain Jack. 1 he eaucns then gives no indication in its results of the relative strength of Ding ley and Stone in this city. That is as much unknown to-day as Saturday morn ing. Mr. Stone will have the delegation, hut not the strength which attaches to a fair and honorable expression of the voters in rations assembled. Mr. Dinglev will not need the delegation at llangor, Mr. Stone will. Mr. Dingley's friends are happy in having acted the honorable part, and will he ready to extend consolation to their Stone triends when the news of Mr. Dingley's nomination comes over the wires next Thursday.

Thvksdav, June 12. There ha:; been -omc inquiry for domestic fleece the past week, and but for the meagre assortment* from which to make selections, the sale- of this description would have been much greater, small bales of choice Ohio of the new clip have been made at 7>2e, and unwashed have been made at ,’Wr. Kentucky combing has been sold at l7c but tins is an extreme price obtained lor choice staple. The demand for California haw qcen active, and the re ceipts have been taken at grade prices upon arri val. Carpet wools have been more sought for, and prices have ruled in buyers* favor. The market generally is unchanged from last week, and the condition of the market is such as to import a feel ing of confidence to manufacturer-, that at present iales there will be a g od consumption ot wool. Our advices lrom the wool growing sections esti mate the lip at la-t year’s figure*, but there is a strong deposition to sell at short time. We hear of some choice lips being taken in Ohio at but they could not be sold in this market at any margin over cost, and whoever buys at that price will run some risk, as tin* large quantity of California wool coining to the eastern seaboard, will tend very much to check high paices. The total receipts of wool at this port for the week comprise 271s bales of domestic and 2102 hales foreign, against 2107 bales domestic and Yo2:l bales i foreign for the same week last year.

Tlic volume of trade with agents and jobbers has been small, and the dose of the season is clearly indicated. The city retail trade is good, and some descriptions have been in request from jobbers for immediate use, but there is no disposi tion to purchase in anticipation. The stocks of goods in jobber-* h inds is very light, and the inte rior have bought their goods so cautiously that throughout the country i- unusually small. Agent have a fair -i.iq Iv of standard goods, and oil some light weights iliere is perhaps some little ac euimiluiioii but wijh an ordinary demiud next -ea-on all good will be wanted. There have been some -ales ol Brown l otions, and single bale lots and small parcels have been taken by the jobbing trade, but generally the mar ket i- dull and languid. Jobbers are not dn-po-ed to purchase Bleached Cottons fur future u-e. and s les are limited in extent and mainly con lined to the best makes. Drills are quiet, and there is little doing either with the home trade or for export. Cambrics are without change, and are taken by the trade as w anted. Denims are Urm and the market is but lightly .-tucked wi hlhe-o goods. Fancy stripe continues in fair request, although the demand is mainly tor the latest designs of the freshest goods. Ticks are in in ‘derate demand and price- are fully sustained. Fl ints are dull except for job lots, which are still taken readily. Dress Fabrics*have been quiet with agent-, but there has been a bettor retnl dema.d. which lul led to more getix ity with jobbers. lilnghams are unchanged, and price- remain as previously noted. There is rather more inquiry lor Casi-im. re-, i Beaver- and cloths adapted to the use of the cloth I mg trade, and manufacturers are hopeful of an ei ive sou son. The best grade- of Overcoatings and Ca-simciv are in limited -apply, and are gelling at remunera tive rates, but medium cloth- are paying but a small prollf. Carpet- are quiet ami unchanged. Flannels nie quiet, and there lias been tlivift far I but little demand._ Wagner’s Story. The following is the story of Wagner, as told by him in his own defence, on Friday “I am 28 years old have been in this coun try 7 years; I lived or 10 months witli John Hontvet at Smutty Nose island; as l was being carried to the police station in the city of Boston I lir-t heard of the muider at Smutty Nose island the day before the mur der L was in the city of l’ortsmoutli; board ed at Mr*. Mathew Johnson's; f remained in the house until after six o'clock in the eve ning; at four o'clock in the afternoon I went down to the whart; there 1 met Mr. John Hontvet coming alongside the wharf with his little ichooner; we had eonremtlon there; he aaked me if I would bait trawls for him; I answered him if I was not employed some where else; I asked him how he made out fishing, whether he made any money; he said yes; bis stock was about #C00; I asked him the reason he brought bis brother-in-law with him; he answered he brought him to Portsmouth once in a while, and the women were home to keep the house safe that night; I left him and went home to Mrs. Johnson’s; remained until C o’clock and had my supper; about a quarter past C I went down again on the wharf and met Mr. Hontvet at Hooper’s store, on the corner of Water street; we were standing there about five minutes and I left him; he walked up the street and 1 walked down to the wharf; I remained on the wharf a minute or two und then returned to Mrs. Johnson's house and put my bine jamper on and went out again I went down to l'ier wharf, to Caswell ltandall's fish store I was standing there about 20 minutes when a man came and spoke to ma; he asked roc to help him load four or five boxes of fish; I did so; by putting the boxes on the team I skinned my two knuckles; after the fish was on the team I walked up town it was about ten minutes past seven; in Con gress street I went into a house and got a glass of ale; I don’t know the man that kept the house, hut I know the house when I see it; from there I walked down to the wharf; a little after H o'clock a man spoke to me on the wharf and asked mo if I baited trawls; I told him yes; ho told me he had trawls to be baited, and was on board a vessel; he showed me the vessel and where the trawls were; I went on hoard and baited two top trawls, about nine hundred hooks; I re mained there about an hou> and half; I then went up town about half an hour; my feet were frozen on the boat; on the way home went into one saloon; I remained a few minutes ami had a couple glasses of ale; I paid, 1 think, 20 cents for it before I left the house; utter leaving the saloon 1 com menced feeling had on the way home, on the corner of Court street, I stopped; I stood about half an hour, and was heaving up (the witness here blushed and showed difficulty in finding the proper expression); then I walked up Court to a little pump; around the pump was water, and it was slippery and I fell down 1 hurt my left knee a little by drop ping on the ice; my head felt so bad I stopped and lay down; I dropped to sleep; I raised up and I was hardly able to stand; my feet were frozen; I managed to walk down Court street and went through Liberty street to the back door of Mr. Johnson's house; I walked up to the back door and found it open; I went into the house; I walked from that room into a little room where there was a sofa op posite the door; 1 crossed over to the sofa and saw a light in the shop; one light was against the wall and one hanging up in the room; I saw John Hontvet baiting trawls; 1 did not speak to him, because 1 was nut j well anil did not want him to bait trawls; 1 was sitting down on the sola and fell asleep; i I woke again; it was not daylight; there was no light in the room it was all dark then Mr. Hontvet was gone too; it was 20 minutes past 5 o'clock I felt bad, and walked out; I went down to the wharf and sat on a fish box halt'nil hour; from there I went to a landing place where the navy yard steamer used to land from there to Daniel street and crossed a little narrow street; I do not know its name; I walked down State street and down to the wharf; I remained there a few minutes and went to Johnson's back gate: and when crossing the yard saw Mrs. Johnson coming out the hack door; site said, “Louis, where have you been last night?” I answered par: of tiie night I was asleep and part of the night baiting trawls; she walked into the wood shed and I walked into the house. When I came into the room I saw 2 men sitting round a table'; one man's name was i Kenniston and the other Moore; Kennislon asked me where I was last night; 1 gave him the same answer, that I was baiting trawls part of tile night and pari of the night sleep ing; 1 went into the bar room and looked at the time; it was 12 mirutes past 7; 1 walked up stairs, pulled my jumper off and came down again and washed myself; after I had done that i went to the breakfast table; I did not eat any: I had no appetite; I feit sick 1 went up stairs again into the hack room and pulled my white shirt off, because it was dir ty; when 1 came down stairs I found Mr. Johnson in the barroom; lie said, “Halloa, here is our lost sheep, where have you been last night?” I toll him that 1 was baiting trawls and had a little beer; lie asked me it had tu t beer) home that night; I told him I was asleep on the sofa from 3 to 5 o’clock he said, “Have you not seen John Hontvet?" then I told him yes; I told him I saw him and another man baiting trawls; lie said: “Didn't you held him?" I said no, I felt awful bad. 1 didn't feel like baiting trawls.

I left Marv Johnson and went over to Lau ra Juhnson, n little girl, and put my right arm around her neck and kissed her; it was not the first morning l did so 1 had dona so every morning; I then left the housa and walked to a baker's shop and ate a piece of pie I paid 10 rents for it; 1 gave the man 35 cents in paper money; he returned to me a 3 cent piece, n 3 t ent piece and 10 coppers I then walked to the depot, where I used to dune every day; twice when 1 caiue there I heard a train whistle; 1 asked a man where the train was going to; lie said to Boston; 1 made up ray mind to take the train for Bos ton and return next morning or that evening; it was 10 minutes past 9 when the train start ed visited a ship in Charlestown; 1 came to Commercial street and passed a little barber shop; 1 thought as my beard had been grow ing three weeks l would go in and have a shave; I found a colored barber there; he shaved me and cut my hair I paid him 35 cents; l gave him 40 cents and he returned me 5 coppers back; I walked to Hanover street; I passed by a clothing bouse; I knew it was a Dutchman's I went in there and bought a pair of pants, a coat, a hat and a pair of braces and paid him 810 for them then went to a shoemaker’s where I had been known for the last 5 years; when I came in there himself, wife and servant girl were 1 pulled off my overalls in the (hop; the shoe maker's wife and girl (aw me: the pants I hud on under were five yean old and had holes in them; I pat the new panta over the old ones, and took my overcoat off and put on the little coat; as I was leaving the (hop the shoe maker called on his wife tn give me a glass of kimmell; I then called nr three cigars.
