JAY 1 GOULD, Boston, Maa>. felOtUm THE PRE8S~ IRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 6. 1834 Gossip and Gleanings. Dakota Territory ha? only three-eighths ol a white man to an acre of ground. In China, two people of the same surname dare not marry. The Smith family would suffer in that country. A father in Wisconsin offered his boy five dollars to take a dose of castor oil, and then got a counterfeit bill off on the boy. A prevalence of the measles ii reported in Connecticut, but there is one town theie not at all alarmed. It-.? HaJdam. What is the difference between a farmer and a bottle of whiskey? One husbands the corn and the other corns the husbands. A hopeful toper looks for an early summer and a good, square, okl-fashioued cholera, to stop all this nonsense. Dio Lewis ventures to observe that “high living is the foundation of every cemetery.” His formula is accordingly a very simple one —diet or die. Are blacksmiths, who make a living by forging, or carpenters, who do a little count er-fitting, auy worse than men who seif iron and|steel for alining? “Aud did you hear him call her my dear or anything like that?” asked the lawyer." No sir! of couise not; why she was his wife,” answered the lady witness. The Waukegan (111.) Gazette speaks of “William Yager, nee conductor on the Northwestern Railway.” Now, was William really born a conductor?” A Pekin (III.) woman was asked by the preacher if her husband feared the Lord. She replied, “fear Him Bless you, he is so feared of Him that he never goes out Sun day without taking his gun along with him.” They’re singing these lines in Ohio now: Rouse, thee 1 O despondent brother, Cheer with hope these days ot pain; When '.his whiskey war is over. We’ll, O we’ll get drunk again. Said a pompous husband whose wife had stolen up behind and given him a kiss, “Mad am, I consider such an act indecorous,” ‘‘Ex cuse me,” said the wife, “I didn’t know it was you.” “I’ve helped bury every man that ever sold me a drop of liquor, except one, and I am ar ter liixiij night and day,” was the cheery good-natured remark of a temperance orator at Springfield, Mass., the other day. A watchman who lodged in the boiier-rot m of a factory at Flushing, was asked if he wasn’t afraid ot being blown up, and answer ed, with a sickly smile, “No; I’m a marneu man.” Mad dogs are chewing the calves of the Chicagoiins. We have been tryiug to think what we would rather h ve a mad dot do than chew a Ctdcrgoan'scalt, but we haven’t any time—that is, il time is really money—to follow the amusement to any result.—Mil waukee Sentinel. I.ittle girl—“Mamma, I don’t think the people who make dolls are very pious peo pie.” Mamina—“Why not, my child9” Lit tle girl—“Because you can never make them kneel. I always have to lay my doll on her stomach to say her prayers!” The travelers' book at an inn in Switzer land contains the following epigiam: THE TWO TEAVbLEES. I’ve lost my porLuianteau! “I pity your gilei.” All my sermons vreie In it! “I pity the thiel.” A gentleman traveling on horseback “down East,” came upon an Irishman who was t encing in a most barren and desolate piece of land. "What are you fencing in that lot for, Pat?” said he; “a herd of cattle would starve to death on that land.” “And sure, yer houor, wasn't I fencin’ it in to kape the poor bastes out av it Wheu the British ships under Lord Nelson were bearing down to attack the combined fleet off Trafalgar, the first lieutenant of one of the ships, on going round to see that nil hands were at quarters, observed one ot the men devoutly kneeling at the side of his gun. Such an attitude in a British sailor exciting his surprise and curiosity, he went and asked the man if he was afraid. “Afraid?” an swered the sailor; “no! I was only piaying that the enemy’s shot may be distributed in the same proportion as prize-money—the greatest part among the officers.” The Boston Saturday Evening Gazette tells the following story about a somewhat well known clergyman of the Hub, which it says “has the merit ot being ‘too true.’ A gen tleman invited the Rev. Mr. M—to drive, one day, and thought be would improve the op portunity for a little serious conversation, and broke the ice thus: “I sometimes think there’s something wanting in my life—” “Yes,” interrupted M—, “you want some thing that will get up and git, and just come on the road better than this old plug you’re holding the lines over now!” Old Ironsides. HER PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. The frigate Constitution, the “Old Iron sides,” is being repaired at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The design is to fit her for sea service, but it is supposed that during the cen tennial year she will remain at the Philadel phia Navy Yard to give visitors an opportu nity of looking through her. The Constitution is 1576 tons, carried orig inally forty-four guns and 400 men, and cost $302,719. She was built at Boston, between 1794 and 1797, by Edmund Hartt, under an act of Congress which provided for the pur chase or construction oi four ships to carry forty-four guns each, and two to carry thirty nix guns. The Algerine corsairs were depre dating at the time upon American commerce, and Congress was aroused to the irecessitv ot putting an end to their outrages. President Washington approved the act immediately after its passage, and the keel of the Constitu tion was laid in November. She was the only one of the forlv-tonr-gun ships complet ed The Algerines having made pe port of Boston, in 1834, indiBnati^of”^ wl|icli caused considerable lual^rahe'bosrouh01*1 t,,e counll7- Orig niented with the tW^cnf ba? been orna dub; subeeqnem“»mfia^r,?^ boldmg a substituted; P en' a hi,?'

Ad vertising is the royal road to business.—Bar num. “Advertising lias furnished me with a com petence.”—Amos Lawrence. The Frenoh surgeons announce that Con sumption is not incurable.

It has been in the main a very respec table assemblage and has not done much that is notably bad while it has done several very good things. It has regulated Savings Banks, made a thorough investigation of tbe State Prison, demonstrating the integrity and effi ciency of its management, has provided (or much needed improvements in the Reform School, has lightened the burdens of the gen. eral public oy the imposition of several spec ial taxes, has established an Industrial School for Girls, has made an appropriation of $25, 000 to set in operation the Maine General Hospital, has made a rigorous game law and has done many other things for the good of individuals and the people at large. Its most flagrant sins are those of omission. It has failed to pass a law regulating railway con nections and to make provision for addition al accommodations for the insane, two con spicuous lapses whi -h will probably be reme died by the next Legislature. Iii the component parts or the Legisla ture are found many men of high character, prominence and promise. The presiding of ficers have given excellent satisfaction in the dischaige of their important duties and have assisted in that facilitation of business which has given this the reputation of being a woi ic ing rather than a talking Legislature. Presi dent Butler brought to his place the training both of a lawyer and an editor, a thorough familiarity with parliamentary law and prac tice and a practical aptitude for affairs of great value to him and to the Senate. Speaker Thomas is full of all sorts of qualifications for this or any other office. His abounding vital force lent inspiration to the House and en couraged prompt action, enabling the House to do an unusuahy large amount of business for the time of their sessiou. If Hr. Thomas should return to the House next year he would be likely to be made Speaker without contest, but it is quite within the possibilities ol the future that the county may choose to send him to the Senate next year, in which case the Presidency of the year after is not very problematical. The leadership of the Senate may fairly be accorded to Hon. E. F. Webb of Waterville, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He is an able lawyer of high reputation, a good debater and thoroughly familiar with the business of legislation. He was Speaker of the House last year and all auguries assign him to the Presidency of the Senate for the next year without serious opposition. Hon. L. A. Emery of Ellsworth, is a gentleman new to legislation, and he has made for him self a most enviable reputation. He has been a most valuable member of the Judiciary Committee and a highly re spectable Senator. He possesses a thorough ly judicial mind and will soon or late in the natural order of events, adorn the bench of the Snpreme Court of this State. Hon. E. K. Boyle of Belfast, also on the Judiciary Committee, is a lawyer of marked ability. He has suffered from ill-health during the winter but has demonstrated in spite of all obstacles the possession of a vigorous and oiiginal mind and brillimt oratorical powers. It is rare to find three men of so much power, cul ture aud promise associated together in one Legislature. The Senate had good reason for pride in Us representation on the Judiciary Committee. The only other lawyer in the Senate was Hon. Enoch Foster, Jr., of Beth el. He was emphatica'ly the talking member of the Senate, making the mistake not un common to new and ambitious legislators. It may be hoped that he will learn wisdom from experience. Cumberland county had a strong representation in the Senate. Mr. Burgess of this city and Mr. Holbrook of Freeport, the seniors,taking the high stand which they have always done among legislators from the weight of their character and ability. The new members, Messrs. Cross and Goold,made an excellent impression and did credit to themselves and their county. Mr. Palmer of Bangor, is a sound, level-headed, big-hearted business man, shrewd and sagacious, and very fond of his'little joke. Mr Rounds of Minot, was the handsome man of the Senate and one of the best fellows in the world be side. Mr. Webster—Uncle Moses—ot Vinal haven, is one of those men whom everybody loves on sight, simple-hearted as a child but wise enough to have made a large fortune in the granite business. But we must stop, though there were many other strongly marked men in the Senate. It is generally conceded that this is the best Senate that has occupied the chamber for many years. In the House, Hon. Joseph H. Williams of Augusta, was readily accepted as leader from his posi’ion as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, but specially from his high reputation for abilitv, prudence, experience and integrity. The House always listened most respectfully to his suggestions and rec ommendations and felt that its financial busi ness was in safe bands It is the crowning honor of an upright life to be looked upon with such entire respect and confidence as was Mr. Williams bv his associates. Mr. Talbot of East Macbias, led the forces on the Democratic side of the House. He is a very eloquent and ready speaker and is full of wit and wisdom. He is an elderly gentleman and many years ago was Speaker of the House. He returns to the scenes of his early triumphs with all the fire of youth unimpaired by time, and has really achieved a no table success in his winter’s work. Mr. Knowlton ot Skowhegan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee on the part of the House,.and second on the Railroad Commit tee, was a very influent, member, dili t k. committee work, and effective on thefloor Otbis important services on the Special Committee on the State Prison investigation we shah have occasion to speak more fuiiy hereafter. The most popular member was P. A. Wilson of Bangor, who combines in one man about all the desirable qualities of hu man kind, ne is strictly upright and con scientious, scrupulouslyihonorable, a preemi nently able and sound lawyer, having the largest practice in Eastern Maine, a ready and forcible debater, and full of kindness liberality and bonhommie which endears him to all claeses of people. He will come back to the House next year, and if he don't, in due time, succeed Gen. Hereey in Congress it will be because he refuses to be a candidate. The wag oi the House was Mr. Hathoru of Cushing, a flower who blushed unseen, ex cept by a few favored ones, until the riotous scenes of the closing hours of the session, when he was brought forward vi et armia and placed in the Speaker’s desk to preside over the mock session. His very appearance was provocative of mirth-a long, loose jointed, awkward citizen, with a preposterous noae rendered more conspicuous by an injury received in the turmoil of lhe preceding “paper ball” session. He led the revels with wonderful tact, humor and brightness, turn in? every point in some witty way and re maining master of the situation after every encounter. He is a good deal of a mau and reminds one forcibly of tbe descriptions of Abraham Lincoln in his early days. He was the youngest member but one and will be hcaid from hereafter. There are many more belonging to the class known as “leading members,” but we have been able to mention only a few of the more conspicuous. It was a good average House, not much given to speech-making but with lots of good working capacity. Mcney is repotted to be unusually plenty in New York and other financial centers, yet there are meu in Congress who still demand more greenbacks as though the printing press and not the mines was the source of wealth. Tue military appropriation was reduced to $9,500 during the last hours of the Legisla tu c. ___ Current Notes. “A Boston Democrat” in the Bangor Com mercial, congiatulates himself that Grant and Butler are “coming back to the old Demo cratic ideas in which they were trained.” Gen. Butler has been interviewed by the correspondent of his Boston organ. He says there will be no split over Simmons in the Republican party of Massachusetts, only a splinter. The “Duchess of Geneva” is dead. She was a $40,000 Durham cow, owned in West ern New York. The Springfield Republican says that the Butler party in Massachusetts will not have a single paper in Massachusetts ot first class character. Of course not. The Aryus of yesterday calls some suppos ed aids of the sheriff to enforce the liquor law, very bad names. This makes us sad for we read the Aryus of Monday and got the im pression that it was in earnest for tbe enforce ment of the liquor law. Alas for human weakness. It is due to the sheriff to say that the fellows thought to be spies tvere honestly after a “drunk.” The Washington Republican says that Walker the Chicago Time* man whom Town send thrashed and who is the most reckless newspaper liar in Washington, was sent from the office at Chicago because he was such a thief. A good fellow to talk virtue. Evidently the Grangers have captured the Kansas Legislature. That body has formally resolved that Congress ought to pass a law declaring railroads common carriers, and reg ulating freight charges upou the same. “C^uite a number ot tbe West-.ru Massa chusetts towns which elected officers on Mon day, did themselves the credit of choosing women as members of the school commit tee, and it is pretty safe to say that there will be a good many more do tbe same thing next year. Where they were chosen Monday, it was not generally as the candidates of either party, but from a sensible conviction among voters generally that it was a good thing. —Springfield Republican.' The Maine Legislature, which met on the same day with our owu, has finished its busi ness and adjourned, while ours has hardly touched any of the more important matters which are to come before it. That the for mer has not had a dull session will be evident to any one who glances at the record of its doings. It was a hard-working session—with very little talk—but an amount of earuest devotion to business worthy of imitation by our own Legislature and similar bodies else where—Boston Journal. Sam Bowles, it is said, is seeking for new worlds or rather globes to conquer. The Boston Globe is what he is now negotiating for if rumor is true. The New York Times says there never was a time when the Catholic clergy had so little influence over the masses in Ireland as at present. The author of “Ginx’s Baby” says that the established church is the greatest im pediment to reform in Great Britain. The Senate refused to abolish the office of State Statistician but the Ways and Means Committee did not report an appropriation for that department aud none was made by the Legislature. The recent disclosures made in the Sunday Mercury of this city concerning the manu facture of syrups from old rags,spread conster nation far and wide among pan-cake eaters. At the Portland Argus office there has been on exhibtion recently some “golden drip,” which it is claimed, was manufactured with the aid of the necessary acids, from a couple of old towels and a pound of saw-dust.—N. T. Commercial. The fire in East Boston, Wednesday, again proved the efficiency of our fire boats, as well as of the rest of the department. It showed, also, the need of constant care against explos ive combustibles.—Boston Globe. Sews and Other Items Sir. Richard Wallace lost a set of armor worth $75,600 by the burniug of tbe London Pantechnicon. Bayard Taylor is leading a quiet life in Ger many, writing little or nothing for tbe Amer ican press, being busily engaged in collecting materials for a joint biography of Goethe and Schiller. How the Republicans of Michigan look upon the project of inflation is indicated by the fact that twenty-nine Republican papers in the State oppose it, while only eight advocate it, among the former being the most prominent journals in the State. It is asserted that some of the Western papers favor inflation in the hope that they may get a chance to emp loy their cylinder presses in the work of printi ng greenbacks. The Philadelphians who were opposed to the re-election of Mayor Stokelcy will not contest the election for the very sensible reason that the necessary investigation would probably last three years, cost from $20,000 to $50,000, and fad after all. The farmeis of Illinois appear to be assum ing a political oeganization preparatory to the fall campaign. In three Congressional Dis tricts of the State conventions have been called for the purpose of nominating farmers’ candi dates for Congress, and it is thought that similar action will be taken throughout the State. The leading men of both political parties in Philadelphia meet this week to revise the rules of tlieir nominating conventions. It is said that the Crawford county system, on account of its exposure of frauds, does uot give good satisfaction to the Republicans, who are likely to go back to the old delegate system. The fact is, without houest men in the ascendency no system wiil work well. Senator Morrill of Vermont wants it dis tinctly understood that je did not vote for the confirmation of Simmons. He was not in the Senate, but was paired against Simmons with another Senator. A young married woman in Lansingbnrg, N. who was recently called into mourning by domestic affliction, lias issued invitations for a masquerade on mourning paper. Richmond is worth capturing again. It is overstocked with pretty girls, and there are fewer eligible men there to turn them into good wives than in almost any other city of double its size in tbs whole country. European tourists now take excursion or re turn t'ckets, good for six or twelve months, which the steamship companies sell at reduced rates, Vive la Science! The result of the doctors’ examination of the Siamese monstrosities show that the world has made a great mistake in calling them Siamese twins.

THIRTY YEARS is certainly long enough time to prove the efficacy of any medicine, and that the Pain Killer is deserving of all its proprietors claim for it is a t:ply proved by the unparalled popularity it has at tained. It is a sure and effective remedy. It is sold in almost every country in tne world, and it needs only to be known to be prized, and its reputation as a med cine ol Great Virtue is fully and |>ermanently estab lished. It is the great Family Medicine of the age. Taken Internally, it cures Dysentery, Cholera, Diar rhoea, Cramp and pain in the Stomach, Bowel Com plaint, Painter’s Colic, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Sudden Colds, Sore Throat and Coughs Taken externally, it cures Bruises, Boils, Felons, Cuts, Burns, Scalds,Old Sores and Sprains. Swellings ot the Joints, Toothache, Pain in the Face, Neuralgia and Rheumatism,Chapped Hands, Frost Bitten Feet &c. Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor mortals as inevitable as death, and liable at any time to come upon us. Therefore, it is important that remedial agents should be at hand to be used on emergency, when we are made to ieel the excruciating agony of pain, or the depressing influences of disease. Such a remedial exists in Perry Davis’ “Pain-Killer,” the fame of which has extended over all the earth. Amid the eternal Ices of the Polar Regions, or beneath the intolerable and bnrning suns of the tropics its virtues aie known and appreciated. And by it. suf fering humanity has found relief from many of its ills The effect ot the Pain-Killer upon the patient, when taken internally in cases of Cough, Cold, Bowel Com plaint,Cholera, Dysenteiy, and other affections of the system, has been truly wonderful, and has won for it a name among meJical preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an ex ternal remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores and Sprains,Cuts, Stings of Insects, &c., and other causes of suffering has secured forit the most prominent po sition among the medicines of the day.

The friends of the Maine General Hospital are jubilant, and think to have the machine in running order by May. Those who attend Mrs. Anna Eliza Young’s ecturc to-morrow afternoon, may have the op portunity of meotingjMrs, Young in the ant room of the Hall,and asking any questions they choose. The Portland Company is forwarding railway cars to Buenos Ayres. The horse cars run on wheels as far as the M. C. M, A. building. At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade yesterday morning, it was voted to call a full meeting on the lGth inst., for the purpose of electin g a treasurer, Mr. Stevens having declined. That mock trial comes off atCongress Square Vestry this evening, and lots of fuu n ay be looked forward to. The snow drops have put in an appearance! Don’t forget the T. B. Y. assembly at Army and Navy Hall to-night. There will be a Religious, Temperance,Prayer and Conference meeting this eveuiug at the Allen Mission. Ex-policeman Scott and others will address the people. The public are cor dially invited. Should the industrial building be erecten in Lincoln Park, it is contemplated securing Gil more for a coucert. A baby show is alse thought of. The steamer New Brunswick will makeau e^tra trip to Eastport and St. John, leaving her wharf at the foot of State street at 5 o’ clock this afternoon. Next week and after, there will be two trips per week. A coat was found hangiug outside of the clothing 3tore under the United States last night, and was taken in. It was a winter coat, and it was thought perhaps there would be no further demand for such a garment Spasms.—This evening Rev. G. W. Bicknell delivers at Fluent Hall his lecture eutitled “Spasms." This lecture has been delivered to large and gratified audiences in various parts of the State and it seems hut fittiug that its author should give Portland people a taste of its quality. The effort is spoken of in high terms by those who have heard it, as contain ing much healthy thought,many effective blows at shams, and a deal of ridicule at those spas modic reforms which die in the pangs of partu rition. It is to be hoped a large audience will greet the speaker. Tickets can be obtained at Stockbridge’s. Sergeant Ambler’s Lecture.—Sergeant Ambler delivered his lecture on heroism iu the old world and the new, to a good house at City Hall last eveuing. The lecture was made in teresting by the Sergeant’s picturesque nara tive, quaint idioms, “sabre cuts of Saxon speech,” as some one calls them, and bits of personal experience. At the conclusion of the lecture the Sergeant and his son went through a combat with broad swords, in which some admirable swordsmanship was displayed. John Neal, esq., then made a few remarks on the Sergeant’s services to and clailhs upon the Re public, and the entertainment came to an eud. “Our Masquerade”—The ‘Masquerade at Army and Navy Hall last evening given un der the title of “Our Masquerade,” was an ex ceedingly pleasant affoir, heartily enjoyed by all present. Chandler furnished the music,apd a well arranged order of dances was gone thro’ with. Many of the costumes were very pretty and all were worn gracefully Previous to the unmasking there was much mirth and it was not diminished when faces came to light. Tak en altogether the dance was one of the best of the season. About fifty couples were present. Complaint.—Several respectable citizens liviug on Cumberland street complain that the Horse Railroad people are hauling ice, street cleaniugs, etc., from their tracks on Congress street, and dumping the same in Cumberland. They would like to kuow who has given au thor! ty to these parties to make their street a reception for street cleanings. Portland Indncfrial Exhibition. The Board of Manufactures met at the May or’s room, City Building, last evening, Chair man C. P. Kimball, Esq., presiding. The Secretary, M. A. Blanchard, Esq., read the list of applications of the different parties desiring space and, giving information as to the kind of goods they proposed to exhibit. The number of applications already reach 120 and there are some 7000 square feet of space asked for. At this rate the exhibition will unduobt edly attain a very large size and be in every way a decided success. The subject of the building in which to bold the Exliibtion was discussed at considerable length. Mr. Jose presented a proposition for a large building on Lincoln Park, some 250 x 100 feet in extent, running diagonally from near by Pearl and Congress streets corners towards the fjuutain, to be about 20 feet high, and to have the fountain enclosed in a separate building or tent and there establish a first-class restaurant and resort for the visitors. The proposed building will cost some $0000 or $7000. The restaurant can rent for $1000 or $1200, a party standing ready to give the last named amount. Also a party offers to manu facture and supply the gas necessary for said building, gratis. It could be used during the year for concerts and o her gatherings, aad thereby the expense be lessened. Whea taken down it’ean be sold f ir half price. The ideas of those presenting this proposition are that the City Hal', will be somewhat inappropriate and its use during the time for other paying purposes be prevented, as well as m t prove large or convenient. The Lincoln Park building can be used for as long a 'im,' as the exhibition will pay and afterwards be kept open for ether entertainments. The Executive Committee was instructed to present the ease to the City Council and ask permission to erect such a building on Lincolu Park for the proposed Industrial exhibition. The meeting then adjourned. Maine Spouting Association.—The Legis lature just adjourned passed an act incorporat ing the Maine Sporting Association, a body formed with a view to a more rigid enforce ment of the game and fish laws. The corpora tion is authorized to bold property to the value of $10,000. Last evening the corporators mined iu the charter, eight in number, gathered at the rooms of the Forest City Shooting Ciub, for the pur pose of taking preliminary steps in the matter of au organization. The Shooting Club also met. The corporators voted to associate with themselves all the members of the Forest City Shooting Club, aim a committee, consisting of Mauassah smith, Frank W. Smith, William Seuter and Jonas Hamilton, was appointed to draft a coustituliou and set of by-laws. Messrs. H. O. Stauley of Dixtield, E. M, Stillwell of Bangor, and J. P. Kimball of Batb, were ad mitted as members. The two first named gen tlemen are the Fish Commissioners. The As seciation then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman of the committee. The Forest City Club, at its meeting, judged it inexpedient to disband or to merge itself in the new Association, though its members ac cepted a membership it the State body. It is designed that the Association shall embrace sportsmen in all parts of the State. Its head quarters will bo hereafter determined. Overseen of lbe Pcor. From the annual report of the Overseers of the Poor we gather the following facts; The number of inmates of the Alms House aud the House ot Correction at this date is 130, composed of 75 men, 30 women, aud 16 chil drsn.

Rip.ey has also satisfactorily per formed all the duties of chaplain. The week day school is uuder the charge Mr. Sawyer, whose duty it is to hold two sessions each day aud the children are therefore kept under good subjection aud their improvement is all that could he expected.

Subsequently, after having preached in some of the churches of uon-Epis copal persuasion. Bishop Potter informed him that hereafter he must consider that he had no letter of commendation from him. Dr. Porte ous renlied that he was not aware of any action reflecting on the Episcopal church, to which Bishop Potter answered that Porteous had been guilty of delivering a comic lecture and preach ing in uon-Episcopal pulpits, thus violating their orders and customs, and also saying he could not renew his license until Porteous could produce a full and explicit letter from the Bishop. Subsequently a verbal message was sent to Porteous by Bishop Littlejohn, to wliieh Porteous replied, denying the charges that he (Porteous) nad threatened to leave and join either the Presbyterian or Cummins’s new sect; also holding that occupying other pulpits was no offenoe, and generally defends himself.

The persons preseut from New York were Jackson S. Schultz, D. C. Cobbins, John Austin Stevens, E. B. Eaton and Cephas Brainard representing the Chamber of Commerce. J. A. Stevens lias received a letter from Hen ry Vining of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, in which he says that Philadelphia is in union with her sister cities witn regard to the custom laws. As chairmau of the Committee of the Board of Trade he drafted a memorial to Con gress, which wall soon be presented. The mem orial is as follows: “The Philadelphia Board of Trade respect fully represent that the custom laws are cou fused aud difficult to understand and that the proceedings of iuformeis aud government offi cers acting uuder these laws have sometimes been high handed and offensive to the moral sense of the meroantile community, and conse quently injurious to the government itself, which has thereby been brought into disrepute. Your memorialists therefore pray Congress to revise said laws and amend them so that hon est importers may not be iujured in property and reputation by proceedings instituted at the instigation of moil who are actuated by the hope of pecuniary profit lo themselves rather than by a desire to promote the public good. Wm. E. Dodge, of Phelps, Dodge Co., made a long statement, giviug the history of the case in which tli"y pain $271,000 as a com promise, and showing the manner in whicli the firm had been treated by Jayne aud other gov ernment officers. The narrative was listened to with much interest by the committee. Mr. Dodge vindieted the firm from all charge or suspicious cf fraud. Statement of Wm Dodge. Wm. E. Dodge, in his statement before the Ways and Means Committee to day, said on the first iuteiview with Jayne, the latter said he was sorry the government was in possession of facts to show that the fiim was engaged in a deliberate attempt to defraud the revenue by a systematic series of forgeries, and secoudly by importing goods with false and duplicate in voices, and that he (Jayne) supposed that he (Dodge) knew very well what were the p‘uni ties involved under those circumstances, giving him to understand that every act of perjury of which he might be guilty subjected him to a fine of $5U00 and imprisonment for not less than two years Jayne also said that under such false invoices and under valuation, accord in »to the law of 1863, the firm bad forfeited $1,750,000 to the government, aud now, he continued, I have a warrant from the District Court to take posses sion of your books and papers. This came to him like a thunderbolt. He knew Judge Davis to be an honorable ant upright man, aud said to him: “This is a strange proceeding. It is entirely new to me. I defy this man Jayne to Secure a single duplicate used by Phelps, odge Co.” Jayue said: “I have affidavits to show that you tampered with officers of the government.” Dodge said to Judge Davis, “If .here are any books or papers to establish such cases they are at your service.” Going to his office. Mr. Dodge said to those present, “There is a fearful charge against us of defrauding the revenue and of perjury, and here is a United States officer to take possession of our books.” Jayne bad one or two officers with him. The fifty men in the store were at their desks and were astonished at the proceedings. Jayne took what books be wanted and a cart backed up to the door to take them away. Dodge remarked that Gen. Butler said that he had a single letter from Phelps, Dodge Co., which was sufficient to convict them in any U. S. Court. The firm learning what it was, laughed, ft'heu the firm for the firsttime imported tin for cheese vats, instead of put ting it in boxes, it was put in bundles with strips of galvanized iron arouud them. The appraiser called) their attention to the fact that the tin should have been in boxes. To avoid future trouble they wrote to their friends abroad to thereafter put the tin in boxes with marks of their weight and manufacture. The reply came they would endeavor to follow in structions but the manufacturer adds, “If in any respect we shall differ let us know and we will tix it.” Gen. Butler had it, “we will on this,” be said, “convict Phelps. Dodge Co., in any court in the United States.” w lieu lie (Godge) returned lrom wasning ton the firm decided that they had better pay tlie amount demanded than have a judgment of 81,750,000 entered against them in court. They settled and paid the money to get rid of the in famous charges against them, and being at that time in ignorauce of the real amount they owed the government. They were fools for payiug the money hut there was terror in this thing throughout. They fouud themselves dog ged by spies in any steps they took. They could not have a private meeting of the firm at night hut what it was known in that dark hole at the Custom House. There was no lawyer in their offica but what it was known. One of his partners in -January came round aud opeued his desk, culling out such letters as he wished to retain and burned the rest. They received a letter from their attorner informing them that Jayne said Phelps, Dodge Co. were burning up tlieir papers and he would have them all in Ludlow street Jail that uight.

Mr. Stockton moved an additional amend ment to the instructions submitted by his col league (Frelinghuysen) directing the committee to report in favor of holding an international exhibition so as to exhibit the produc ts of flthe United States in comparison with those of other nations. Mr. Stockton spoke at some length in favor of an industrial exhibition. Mr. Bayard also argued in favor of an indus trial exhibition. He wanted money for the ex hibition appropriated and its expenditure con trolled by an United States official. Mr. Stuart moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business. Mr, Cameron objected and said that yester day he made an appeal to the Senate to finish he centennial to-day. Mr. Sumner said that it was imposible to do so as several gentlemen wanted to speak. Mr. Cameron said that the Senator from Mass, never sympathizes with him.

Resolutions were reported from the Commit tee on Elections in the Virginia contested elec tion case, that Davis, the sitting member is not entitled to the seat, aud Thomas, the contest ant is. The resolution was adopted without de bate and Mr. Thomas was sworn in. The House went into Committee of the Whole on the legislative appropriation bill, Mr. Wocdford in chair, aud was addressed by Mr. Garfield of Ohio, the chairman of the Com mittee on Appropriations. Mr. Garfield of Ohio, said three questions presented themselves: First, If there was a deficit in the near future who was the cause? Second, Was there danger of snch a deficit? Third What was the duty of Congress? Ou the first point he explained that one cause of the deficit was a redaction of taxes. Every year since the war except two, 1868 and 1873, the taxes have been reduced to an amount in the aggregate of $1311,506,000 and yet at the cloee of the last fiscal year there was a surplus of $43,000,000 of receipts above expenditures. The Committee of Appropriations believed that if a cutting down of such as ought to be made for its own sake did not carry the tieas ttry through, it was the business of the House to provide ways aud means to make up the deficit. It was thejbusiness of the House to fix it when it came to the place where taxa tion was necessary to fill up the deficit. The Committee on Appropriations proposed that whenever there was an appropriation growing upoutofthewarorotuerwi.se that might be lapped off, to lap it off, and wnen an expendi ture couhl be postponed for a year wi thou' se rious injury to the great interest of the govern meni to postpone it. When the committee had done these two thiugs, they did not pro pose to cut another dollar anywhere. He then went into a detail'of the estimates and appropriations for the next fiscal year aud stated as the figur- of the reduc ion was $34, 300,000 below the gross estimate; aud his figure was liable of course to be diminished by va rious appropriations which might be made by Congress such as the appropriations for the Centeuuial and for tha Washington Board of Public Works. He thought, however, he was perfectly safe iu urging tbe expenditures for the next fiscal year exclusive of the sinking fuud, would be re duced to $370,000,000, provided the House should assist tbe Committee on Appropriations on ill its bills as it had already assisted it on the bills reported. He believed the revival of business aud tbe restoration of public confi dence would enable the government to go through this year aud next year without ad ditional taxation, but if at the eud of all efforts to bring dowu the expenditures to the basis in dicated, Congress found it necessary to tax. He had no doubts this Congress would stand up manfully and restore the taxes where it had been cut dowu. He did not believe that would be necessary. He believed ti at when they met next session there would be no deficit but a reasonable surplus. Mr. Beck of Ky, said he was prepared to demonstrate the fact that tbe sinking fuud was embraced in Mr. Dawes statement of ex penditures of former years as well as in that of the current year, and that when Mr. Dawes took back the statement lie had made in that respect, he did what the facts did not warrant. He was also prepared to prove the reckless ex travagances on tbe administration. Mr. Conger of Mich., said he had heard such premises many a time before from the gentle man from Kentucky, but he had never known them to be kept. The Committee rose and the House took a recess till the evening session for the consideration of the bill to revise statutes. At the evening session the House made some progress in the bill to revise the statutes. THE WAR ON RUM. In Western Pennsylvania.

The wing less Victory was personal to Athens: but the Victo ries with wings we may suppose the conquests in art, poetrv, amt philosophy, which from Athens flew everywhere, bearing the seeds of the world’s culture.] I. Think ye the grave shall truth imprison? Behold l tlie Lord of life is risen. Why kneel ye ibere betide that grave, Empty of him who came to save? Wby worship where the light is gone, Nor know behind you mounts the dawn? The living flower from heaven which fell Ye wear, an iron manacle. Salute not the dead truth which lies Lost In the cloudy centuries: Its withering chrysalis is there, But Psyche winged exults in air. O'er Horeb now the sky is mute: u Sinai burns no prophets foot; Its flameless bush beholds the God Pass on, and voiceless leave-* its sod; Pallas, tier choral maidens gone, Weeps o’er her crumbling Parthenon; The flamv which shaped each Pyramid The desert waste of years has bidI: It lies a silent smouldeiing brand. Cold in its winding-sheet of sand. II. Why cower ye there by outworn creeds? Why clothe your soul in faded weeds? Up! where the morning land displays Its splendors through the amoral base. And quivers in Its jewelled lire, The city of the world’s desire. There oqr sky brethren build our hope. And caHt the futureVhoroscope; There bloods the hour which promises Fulfil men to the eye which sees The climbing bir.bday of the skies,— Of larger love and cl arer sight. And ea th made spiritually bright, Where shining ones uusoiled shall tend Our steps.and with our being blend; And that loved day by saints foreseen Towards us out of heaven shall lean. III. The new birth, and the passing hour Of false and transitory power, The coming and the dying thought, On looms unseen by love is wrought. The hand that wrote the words of fate On walls «>f Babylon the great; Yet poiuts in palaces of kings The secret lutiuence of things, Ti'l dreams by fond ambition nursed Sleep unfulfilled at Cliiselhurst. Still where the wierd moui'ions sound, The gaping soothsayers surtound, Forbidding as did France's kii.g The miracle’s accomplishing. IV. Here, when man’s vision bursts in flower. Stoops the swift Proteus ol the hour: Its tears have fed, its fingers twine, Tne tendrils of the plant divine; Its breath shall bear the winged seeds Thfough other worlds and future creeds. In our free West, where truth can rise Unchallenged to the welcoming skies. It mi Iway meets the succoring host Come glancing from the immortal coast, Their Ju ulees in triumph rings. Its guard a myriad shadowy wings; And bridal peals the spirit hears Mix with the music of the spheres. T. G. A., Marcn Old and New.
