Enquire oi Jy30TlOUS EHOLD. Drill Husbandry. With the single exception of grass seed, tbc farmer has little to do in the way of opening the earth and preparing it for the reception of seed for the remainder cf the season. Gardeners to be sure will be engaged for some weeks in lifting various plants and roots from the garden and nursery, and trans planting them into their proper locations, but so far as committing the seed to the earth i3 cuucerueu, iariuers in general can lay aown the shovel and the hoe.” and await in peace the coming of another spring. But now, while men are looking away from the seed to the fruit, from the earth to the harvest, is the right time to consider different methods, and arrive at sure conclusions and fixed decisions with regard to sowing aud planting seed, rather than encounter the pressure of an ad vancing season and the risks of hasty judg ment. Ordinarily it is sale to take lessons in the school of Nature, and to imitate her pro cesses, but iu the present case we prefer the artificial method of man to her own broad cast husbandry. As the result of experience and observation we do cot hesitate to recom mend the introduction cf drill cultivation for all tillage crops, whether in farm or garden. Conlormity to the command, “Cease to do evil and learn to do well” is all that is neces sary in order to arrive at pertection in moral ity and in agriculture we make long strides in progress, when we simply leave off bad habits, and rid ourselves of some practice which must have fastened upon our ancestors as a new fashion or conceit, or iu some other unaccountable way. We might advocate this method negatively, by saying that no good rea sons have been given for continuing the old way, neither can they be in opposition to this one which is comparatively modern; were it not that the self-evident arguments in its favor are sufficiently convincing. By the introduction of the drill system it has been demonstrated that a smaller amount of seed is required. In New England, where it is not much in use except in gardens, this statement will not be readily admitted, and yet we are sure that it has proved to be true in the case of carrots aud turnips, whenever it has been substituted for broadcast sowing. So far as potatoes are concerned it would hardly seem that there would he any percep tible difference between the two methods in heir cultivation; but we know some farmers who have succeeded in raising good crops from four or five bushels of seed per acre iu drills, while others, in the old way, were wasting three or four times the amount to ac complish the same result. But in England, where iu this matter the season o( experi ment has long since passed, and its successful practice is the order of the day, it is well known that in sowing wheat a bushel of seed per acre is saved, aud still more of barley and oats, In this country when grain has been sown and covered iu the earth, it receives no more care or thought until the harvest; and the necessary consequence of this neglect has been that there is a constant diminution in the amount produced by each acre, probably in the case of all the grains, but most notice ably and most alarmingly In respect to wheat, the most valuable of them all. By the drill method, the farmer is enabled to enter his field of grain and with the plow and cultiva tor and horse hoe, stir the soil and remove the weeds, and thus give the growing crop the full benefit of all the elements of fertility the earth contains. When Jethro Tull said to the agriculturists of England,—“You must not shut the gate directly you have sown the seed. You must sow your seed at such a distance apart as to allow a horse hoe to pass between it. Turn the particles of earth and let them have the action of the atmosphere, and they would have food for their plants;"’ he recommended a policy which has increased the productive ness of every wheat field. These considerations of themselves would not bring convincing weight, were it not that they are followed by the almost necessary re sult of an increase of yield, as statistical agri culture has already satisfactorily demonstrat ed. With the knowledge of this fact, we have not been able to account for the tenaci ty with which farmers cling to the Indian sys tem of planting conijin hills. Were a hired man to dig a hole ia the earth and therein plant together three or four shade or fruit trees, would he not be at once dismissed by any sensible employer for his incompetency, and at the same time informed that the roots of a single one required the entire space given 1 to all, that the given Space could only ail'ord sufficient nutriment fo- one, that the exter nal growth of each one would he deprived of its share of air and light and mo'sture by the proximity of the others, and not only would their full development be retarded and, per haps, prevented thereby, but their very exist ence endangeied by exposure to winds and storms Wherever drill-husbandry is introduced, we find, as a necessary consequence, that the la bor of animals and the use of the heavier ag ricultural implements are substituted for the man and the hoe, thus producing a marked saving of time and money. Years ago we read the account of the enlightened farmer in New York, who cultivated his field of pota toes containing, we think, eighty acres, from seed-time to harvest without using the hoe at ail; all the operations of planting, cultivating and harvesting were performed by this im proved method more effectually and with dis patch; while the weeds in the drills which were not smothered by the plow or cultiva tor, wore pulled up by the hands of his men. We always admire the courageous example of men who are willing to adopt new meth ods in the face of public ridicule; and it is delightful to see as a frequent result of the law oi compensation, that many improve ments which relieve the employed from grievous burdens, also bring increased re turns to the employer. We have referred to the example and expe rience of England, as affording instruction and encouragement to ourselves; and yet what dull scholars we are, and with what a snail’s pace we move! Thirty years ago, Henry Colman in his European Agriculture said, “The practice of drilling wheat is in my opinion greatly to be preferred to that of sow. ing it broadcast; first, in the much more equal distribution of the seed, next, in the better opportunity which the wheat has of spreading or tillering, and thirdly, in the op portunity of clearing and cultivating the crop, which latter is of great importance. I am of an opinion, borne out very strongly by facts which have come under my observation, fTinf nrknnt __1_1 n J v/l 113 ^ruwiu is as much benefitted by cultivation as any plant which is grown; and the injury which is done, both to the growth of the plant and to the sample of grain, by the weeds which ripen their seeds among it, renders the weed ing or clearing of the crop of great import unes.” We subjoin also extracts from a recent English writer, to show how uniform and consistent and convincing these toreign testi monies have been: By drilling in the seed, one bushel, at the very least, is saved ou an acre. That is to say—the briard, though looking thinner at hist, is tound to become as s'rong and luxu riant, and the crop to bulk as well, and in all probability better at harvest, by sowing a bushel less seed per acre with the drilling-in maebiue than in broadcast sowing. Now, how is it that less seed is required when it is drilled in In the first place, the seed is all deposited in the soil, none is by any chance left on or too near the surface to perish, or to be picked up by rooks and other birds. In the next place none of the seed is buried so hopelessly deep that it never comes to the surface; the seed is all placed at an uniform depth, it all comes to the surface at the same lime, and every plant has thus the same chance for life. Again, seed is saved by the drill depositing it regularly. No wind affects it as it drops through the close irou fingers of the drills, and although wind does not affect the seed to any appreciable extent as it drops from the broadcast machine, and it is not al ways windy weather at seed time, still irreg ularities on the surface of the soil prevent the seed from beiug equally scattered. This is the case more especially on land after green crops when it has been plowed early in the season, which will often produce a palchy looking briard, some places there will be little thick tufts, aud others again will be too thin, consequently extra seed must be allowed for this. So much for what may be called the practical answer to the question. Theoretically speaking, it is allowed that in rows the plants have more freedom and tiller better, and also have more chance of being well supplied with atmospheric food by the better circulation of air through the rows. Of course theories may be either true or false,but iu this Instauce it is of very little consequence. oim,u 111 1'iav.iuc it uon the execution ground of Canton—a narrow lane, or Potter’s Eield— where so many hundreds had been butchered per day during weeks together, the execu tioner requiring the aid of two smitns to sharpen his swords, tor many of the wretch ed victims were not allowed to be destroyed at one fell swoop, but sentenced to he “hacked to pieces,” by twenty to filly blows. I was informed by a European who had traveled much, aud seen most ot the fn.htiul -ale ot Hie. that witnessing Chinese executions was mure than his iron nerves could stand; and in soino of the details which he was narrating I was obliged to beg him to desist. And t ho saiii there was nothing solemn about it, and the spectators looked on amused. It was the horrible aud the grotesque combiu-d.— Temple Bar.

Poi sons in sugar and poisons in tea and poisons, too, in the very staffof life! Blue poisons and red poisons, white poisons and, especially, yellow and green poisons 1 Poisons lor the babe, poisons for childhood and poisons for manhood! The doctors say that the ordin ary dose of “soothing syrup” for infants is at least four times what they would commonly regard as safe to prescribe. And as for the poisons especially prepared for the stomach of childhood, under guise of sweatmeats, just look at this: “Specimen 31 was a yellow gi raffe with black spots, under a green palm tree, on a brown and green ground. The yellow color was due to lead and antimony, and the green, on analysis, showed the pres ence of arsenic and copper. Four kinds of mineral poison in this one piece of confection ery.” This quotation is from a report just published by Boston’s new Board of Health, which occupies itself, in part, very profitably in securing the chemical analysis of provisions and groceries. One would say very decidedly that a desire to avoid.the murder of innocent and defenseless human beings might well ex cuse precision and strict conformity to nature in zoological portraiture. But here is a de mon confectioner who deliberately belies na ture and wickedly introduces false and mis leading notions of natural history into the brain at the same time that his rascally yel low giraffes.amble on their green ground into the stomach. But j the giraffes are not the i worst of it. Children might be taught to avoid all animals of the cameleopard type, es' pecially yellow ones on a green ground, and in general to look with suspicion on all sac" charine representations of animate nature. But the same chemist from whom we have quoted declares that it is safe to say that from one-third to one-half of the; colored confec tionery sold, owes its color to injurious pig ments, sometimes introduced in large quanti 1 Ins So much for childhood. But suppose a fortunate being to have wrestled successfully with the soporific “soothing syrup,” and con verted his stomach into a menagerie and miu •eralogical cabinet at the same time, without permanent harm. His perils have in fact but just begun. If one drink tea he takes bis life in his hand. The Boston chemist exam ined eleven samples, only three of which were unadulterated. Iron, sand, clay, exhausted jeaves, silica, steatite and other foreign sub stances are freely admixed with the small quantity of genuine tea. So far as ground coffee is concerned, the adulteration is so uni form, so gross and so notorious, that the Board of Health seriously and gravely raises the question of morals as to whether the gro cer is really guilty of deception who sells his customer chicory, beans, peas and rye for “fine coffee” and “superior coffee!” It is a great relief to have it authoritatively stated that specimens of tea adulterated with mag netic iron ore and “lumps and filings of iron,’’ and coffee adulterated with Venetian red are hardly to be found in this part of the coun try. To get surely and speedily poisoned with drink, one must resort to whiskey or other spirituous beverages, the frank colloqui al designation of which as “fusel oil” or “pi" zen” marks the popular appreciation of their nature. But the Boston chemist declares that outside of U little harmless coloring, he regards the adulteration of ale and beer as of the rarest occurrence in this country. Among the articles mentioned by Mr. Mer rick as peculiarly liable to adulteration, is pepper, and among those from which danger may be anticipated, are yeast powders and canned fruits. The citric and malic acid of the fruit is liable to dissolve the metal of •which the can is composed, especially after the can is opened. It is desirable, therefore! to empty the can of its contents as soon as it is opened. We add from a sense of duty, though the fact is hardly germane -here, that of twenty-two specimens of kerosene exam ined, only two answered the requirements of the 100° “flashing test.’' The preparations for purifying and rendering kerosene safe, sold by pretentious itinerants,are of no elect what ever, and, since they encourage carelessness and ignorant security in the use of oils and burning fluids, should be sedulously avoided. Here we are, then, surrounded on all hands by dangers which we cau commonly neither anticipate nor avoid. Science may gradually open our eyes, and education and religion im prove the public morals so that poison will not be daily fed to innocence and helpless ness. Meanwhile it is some comfort to know that these practicers of adulteration are eat ing and drinking each other’s poisons. While the confectioner is administering yellow gi raffes to the grocer’s little boy, he himself goes home every day to the feast'of biting acids and corroding and griping minerals set forth forliim by the grocer. According to the correspondent of the Yew York Tribune, Col. Forney has opened a sort of branch office of the Philadel phia Centennial exhibition, in London. The newspapers announce that he is the accredi commissioner to Europe, with full powers, ted Gen Schenck has taken him up and has ad dressed a letter to Lord Derby, inviting his attention to the act of Congress approved j-v-x, pucvuug auu repealing tne in vitation of the American Government to oth er nations to participate in the exhibition. Forney is evidently determined to have a ceu tennial, and if the exhibition is a success he will obtain a reputation second not even to the “gteat American showman’s.” It appears from the annual report of the committee of the city council of Boston, on the public library, that though the opening of t hat institution on Sunday has not been a dis tinguished success, yet the trustees are con vinced of the propriety of the movement. A very considerable portion of the frequenters of the Boylston street reading room 0.1 that day are found to be persons who do not or can not visit the library on week days, such as reporters, mechanics and those who work early and late in their daily vocation, without the opportunity of any convenient access to the weekly and monthly issues proceedin'' from the press. Tiik dense ignorance of the average Eng lishman has received another illustration, a writer in the London News says the bad used in playing our national game “is not a formidable article.” Surely one of these in struments of torture, round, smooth and hard as a water-washed pebble and about twenty-five limes as large, has never sped “red hot” from the bat and*taken him under the jaw; surely a “bounding rock” never came in contact with his nose, twisting it up into a tip-tilted and Tennysonian shape surely a “white star” never multiplied itself a thousand fold before his dazed eyes as it struck him on the cheek while he incautious ly ventured between bases; surely he never attempted to take one on the fly only to come out of the conflict with four broken fingers, a dislocated thumb and a sprained wrist. If that journalist lingers about the “diamond field” he will be very rudely awakened to the folly of forming hasty judgments from in sufficient premises. Kathek late in the day Dr.Dio Lewis informs the public by letter that he is only seconda rily responsible for the statement that Bangor contains three hundred rum shops, but char ges the story on “a highly respectable gentle man” of that city who, on behalf of the tem perance party, had carefully collected the facts and who assured him that one hundred and sixty persons had taken out a government license and one hundred and forty were sel ling without a license. He says he men tioned] these statements in a large public meeting in Bangor, and was told by several that the statement was not exaggerated. These gentlemen, however, though the matter has been pretty thoroughly canvassed in the newspapers, have never, if we remember right, come up to the support of Hr. Lewis. News and Other Items.

This recalls to mind a section of the “Proverbial Philosophy” relating to “good out of things evil.” Some statistics of Creswell’s reign as Post master-General—he began March 4,1870: The number of letters transmitted in the year I860 was 602,000,000; in the year ended June 30, 1874, 900,000,000—a greater increase than has ever taken place in any country during the same number of years. In the preceding five years the increase was from 335,000.000 to 502, 000,000, or at the ratio of 50 per cent.,lwhile un der Mr. Crcswell’s administration, during the same time, it was 80 per cent. The cost of sending 502,000,000 letters under Creswell’s predecessor was §23,098,000; of sending 900,000, 000 under Mr. Creswell was about $34,000,000, An increase of 80 per cent, in the business of the department has increased its expendi tures but 44 per cent., while the deficit, which in 1868 was §0,437,000, in 1873 was only §6,188, Mr. Beecher at the Twin Mountain House. The region within a radius of fifty miles of the Twin Mountain House contributed an im mense congregation, Sunday,* at the services held in that hotel, in which the pastor of Ply mouth Church took part. The adjacent hotels were entirely depleted of guests, and there was not wanting a pronounced gathering of press representatives from New York and Boston. The singing was hearty and spontaneous, and was led Mr. Geo. A. Cheney, of Amherst a warm admirer of Mr. Beecher. The Scripture lesson comprised the fifth chapter of the Epis tle to the Galatians, beginning, “Stand fast therefore, in the liberty wherein Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” A flush of anticipation ruffled the serenity of the auditors as the words fell slowly and deliberately from the reader’s lips. A hymn in the same spirit followed, aBd then Mr. Beecher announced his text; “Never theless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal; the Lord knoweth them that are His.” Lack in faith in the power of Christianity was the subject of the discourse. In these days there are two classes of men who are antagonistic on all else except the single be lief that Christianity is being rapidly over thrown. One class devoutly believe in what they call real Christianity, and are bewildered by and scout the new exposition and tile new creed which accept Christ as their founder. The other class believe that Christianity has no present value, that it is a Stubble field, and that we are getting no scientific light on the way toward truth.- Mr. Beecher labored to show that revelations from God are capable of com binations in thousands of ways. The idea of a church stiffly modelled in the beginning was denounced. Churches are like men They were not born in full power, but have to "row toward perfection. Changes within them" are necessary; like infants they must have all their latent powers urgad into use. It is the vivitic Spirit of God which makes changes in the churches, yet the worshippers of modelled churches will not recognize that the first sect possessed the possibility of progress, and that Gods influence works upon this possibility, and they declaim loudly the downfall of Chris tianity. Every daisy, every harebell, every re nunculus has roots in life, but they must be stirred by this vivific power of the sun. The religions of the present, said Mr. Bescher in conclusion, may be defined as pocket systems provincial, and each having but oue true ele uiept. True religion is the fruit of the spirit, St. Paul defines as love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith; and it will never be out or crushed until the soul is quenched. The delivery of the sermon was pathetic al most to teuderness, and held the undivided at tention of the congregation throughout. In the evcuiug an informal religious meeting, mainly social in its nature was held, in which Mr. Beecher took no part. Moulton on Tilton. The side-lights which the publications in this disgusting Brooklyn business are daily throw ing upon the moral atmosphere in which its chief actors have lived, moved, and had their being ought not to be lost sight of. They are full of iuslruction for those who believe with us that the old-fashioned notions of social honor and decency are on the whole the safest foundations as yet devised for social peace and happiness. What a picture, for example, Mr. P. L>. Moulton, the latest gusher in| the (story unconsciously paints of himself in his own account of his behavior as a financial go-be tween! He tells us that his friend Mr. Tilton, on bis “hinting rather than informing hint” of the fact that Mr. Beecher wished to furnish some money for his (Mr. Tilton’s) use, “re pelled even the intimation of such a tliiug with the utmost indignation and auger.” If we are to believe what Mr. Moulton now tells us about the relations at that time of these two men, Mr. Moulton, when he •‘hinted” this proposi ll0It r" knew that he was asking a cuckold to accent pecuniary help from the man who had cuckolded him! Jt may be possible pamt himself in more despicable colors than these, but it would not he easy for a man to paint himself in more despicable colois than these, ihere certainly is no club of gentlemen in the world from which a man who avowed that he had attempted to induce his friend, and equal, to accept money from his wife s seducer, would not he instantly and definitely kicked out.—j\t. Y. World. Necrology. Sidney Dobell, the English poet, whose death was announced by cable yesterday, was born in 1824, in one of the suburbs of London. His father was a w ine merchant of some literary taste, and his mother the daughter of Samuel Thompson, the political and religious radical. Sidney was taken into his father’s counting room when twelve years of age. and remained there fifteen years. While serving as clerk he published under the nom de plume o£ “Sidney Yendes,” the well kuowu and at one time very popular poem of “The Koman.” In 1851 his mercantile life came to a close, and thenceforth he devoted thimsclf to literary pursuits. In 183G he published “Balder,” a poem which met with hut little favor, and which was merciless ly ridiculed by Aytoun in his “Firmillian: a spasmodic tragedy.” In 1855, in company with Alexander Smith, Dobell published a volume of “Sonnets of the War,” suggested by the Crimean conflict. From that time to his death he devoted his time to the writing of poems and pamphlets in advocacy of the democratic idea. Porllnnd and the West. Messrs. Baring Brothers Co., Glenns and other bankers of England, are buying the stock of the Atlantic St. Lawrence railroad Holders of this stock can sell to net them one hundred and five dollars per share. The writer has received this price. This is indeed a very great rise in this stock—many sales having been made as low as fifty dollars, and some at less. This important rise, and the very large expen ditures made here by tbe managers of the Grand Trunk railroad and the change of,its grade, are influencing nearly every port in England to share in the business growing out of the changes, and to establish lines of steam ers running to Poitland connecting with this great road. The managers are pressing these improvements with great vigor, so that there will be receiving and delivery docks for seven V- -l-,' V.MUO owuiuviO hUlu VT lill/Cl cars delivering their freight directly on board the steamers. Some of the steamers coming will take three huudrod car-loads of provisions and grain—or thirty thousand barrels. Such large and increasing imports and exports will necessitate a very great increase of water front in a few years extending quite to Long Wharf. The managers here have any amount of Eng lish capital for whatever expenditures they may choose to make. The last steamer brought one thousand tons of English steel rails. It is to be hoped that our excellent Mayor and the City Council, will afford all proper and needful facilities to the gentlemen connected with these great improvements.

Tho directions for the use ot this preparation in tins dis ease are those of Dr. Edwards, of the Calcutta and Bombay hospitals, and invariably result in a cure. CRAMPS AND PAINS Whether produced by indigestion, improper food, change of water or diet, too free indulgence in ice water, sudden changes of temperature are immedi ately relieved by it. CHOLERA INFANTUM. Tills most dangerous and fatal ailment of child nood is piomptly cured in the great majority of cases when this remedy is administered according te direc tions. When tlie first symptoms appear its° immedi ate use invariably prevents a serious attack. DIARRHOEA IN TEETHING.

Thirtv-First Anniversary ®f Maine Odd Fellowship. 3,000 MEN IN LINE. At an early hour yesterday morning the streets were alive with men, and resounded with the blare of many bands. The thirty first anniversary of the establishment of Odd Fellowship in Maine was celebrated with be coming pomp, aud by a larger street procession than has been seen in Portland for years. The night before brought several lodges and en campments to the city, and all yesterday morn ing the Portland organizations were busily en gaged in doing escort duty for the visiting brethren, who poured in on every steamer and train. Congress street, from State to Franklin, was filled with bodies of men, marching and coun termarching, while crowds of eager spectators pushed and jostled each other on the sidewalks, or swarmed on balconies or door-steps, or leaned from every window that commanded a view of the procession. The decorations were many and fine. The City building was draped with riags, bearing iauiasnc devices, wune Knignts ciau maimui of mail kept watch from thj: wings of the por tico. Flags and bunting were displayed along the whole line of Congress street, and the tri colored Pythian banner lazily waved a welcome from the flag-staff in Market Square. Other thoroughfares were not behind. Exchange street was gaily] decorated with bunting and mottoes, the gilt shield on Odd Fellows’ hall bearing above the clasped hands the legend, “Welcome Brothers.” Further down the me teor flag of England hung from the British Consulate. On Middle street many business houses displayed bunting in honor of the pro cession, and the green banner of Ireland and the scarlet and gold standard of Spain hung from buildings along tho route. On other streets, from the windows and roofs of private dwellings small flags floated, and floral decora tions and quaint emblematic designs attested the warmth of the welcome. The residence of O. B. Whitten, Esq., on Newbury street was elegantly and tastefully decorated by Col. Beals, numerous and appro priate mottoes and emblems looking out from a oloud of bunting. J. S. Bedlow’s residence on Cumberland street was embowered in flags. The Preble House portico was converttd into an archway, over which was the one word “Welcome.” N. G. Fessenden’s house on Paris street was completely draped in bunting, as was also the residence of Mr. Walden. C. F. Ingalls’ihouse on Congress street was tastefully decorated. At S. K. Leavitt’s residence on Cumberland street the decorations were numer ous and appropriate. Ou Locust street the house occupied by Messrs. Edward Hall and C. H. Pratt was noticeable because of its dis play of bunting and flowers and hanging baskets. On the same 'street Mr. Cox’s house was decorated, as was also that of Mr. Mount fort ou India street. Mr. Daniel Leavitt’s residence on Chestnut street was particularly noticeable. The mottoes of the Order greeted the eye from various parts of the house, while at the gate stood three ladies clad in white representing the three cardinal virtues ;of Odd Fellowship. At one window stood a boy clothed in regalia, while a girl at[another sym bolized the degree of Itebekah. As fast as the several lodges and encamp ments arrived they fell into line on Congress street. At ten o’clock there were fourteen en n oitinmonfo o nil fliivtir-firn liwlrrnc An tjin n mil n >1 Thauks to the efficiency of the chief marshal, Geu. Beal, these bodies fell into their proper places without the slightest confusion, and at the hour designated for starting line of march was promptly taken up. The published route of the proeession was gone over, and a few minutes past twelve the men were embarked in the boats en route for the islands and the clam bake. The streets were crowded with people all along the route of the procession. The number of visitors, exclusive of members of the order, was very large, the fine weather and the attrac tions of a great street march serving to draw people here from many miles arouud. The purple plumes and croziered gauntlets of the encampmeuts, the many-colored sashes of the lodges, and the gorgeous and diversified uni forms of the hands, conspired to make a bril liant scene. The order of procession was the same as that published iu our yesterday’s issue. Iu the rear I of Marine lodge, the post of honor, was a long line of carriages, containing the Grand En campment, Grand Lodge, and invited guests, in the following order: No 1 and No 2, Grand Encampment of Maine.

Chase, H. W. Hersey, William Weeks, A. Woodman, and Elisha Higgins. DOWN THE HARBOR. It took sometime to get the three thousand members of the order ou board tbe three steam ers, Lewiston, Forest City and Charles Hough t>n, lying iu readiness at Franklin Wharf. After quite a cruise among the islands, which was enjoyed by all and particularly by those who do not live by the sea and cannot every day or week take such a trip, tbe Lewiston first came up to Little Hog Island, closely followed by the others. Some one who appreciates so beautiful a spot has called it Diamond Island and we trust he and bis friends will ardently labor to bring about so desirable a change. The steamers had hardly touched the wharf not to say made fast, when the hungry crowd, like a demoralized and routeu army, mime lor the tables beyond and the smoking CLAM BAKE, the wonder of the season or of any other season, was the objective point. It was not many min utes before the hungry crowd had surrounded the tables, and hundreds with all kinds of dishes, from a pint dipper to a bushel basket, assaulted the long, smoking pile, where were clams, lobsters, green corn, eggs and sweet potatoes. The old clam bakers said it was a great succes, and certainly after a long march, the feast was fit for a king; then there were baked beans by the bushel, brown bread in pyramids, stacks of hard bread that re minded the old campaigner of ten years ago, and coffee by the barrel. For a half hour the viands sustained the assault of the three thous and strong, till at last the crowd fell back satis fied and still there was enough left jto feed a good sized multitude. Dinner over, about a dozen foot balls were produced, and for an hour there was lively sport for those engaged in it as well as for those looking on. Very dignified gentlemen on the street, cut queer antics down there yesterday after foot ball, and if some of them find contusions on their limbs this morning, they can easily recall the origin. Others, tried with the march and uncomfortable or perhaps over comfortable from a hearty dinner, sprawled out on the grass, smoked ten cent cigars, which a young man insisted on calling Havanas. There were those, too, who had enough of marching and wished that they had taken a deeper interest in the order so that they might ride barouches. The Germania, Edmand’s, Naval and other banas turmsheu excellent music (luring the two hours’ stay on the island. At half past four, the boats received their passengers and after another delightful sail, arrived at the city an hour later. The various bodies were quickly formed and went their respective ways, Maine Lodge No. 1 having the only special as signment—the escort of the officers of the Grand Lodge and other distinguished visitors to Odd Fellow Hall. [N. 15.] A mathemati cal friend says that the clam bake was 150 feet long, ten wide and several high, and contained 200 bushels of clams, 400 dozen of eggs, 1500 lobsters, 3500 ears of corn and 20 bushels of po tatoes. IN THE EVENING. The grand attraction the first of the evening was the band concert on Congress square. The square was literally packed with people, and it was with great difficulty that one could force his way through the press. The concert was, of course, fine; it could not have been otherwise, considering the noted band organizations, such as the Germania, the National of Providence, the Naval of Portsmouth, Edmands’ of Bos tou, the Bangor band, our own Chandler's, and others, represented. Choice and inspiriting airs were played, prominent among them Mul laly’s March, and the vast audience showed un mistakable manifestations of delight. After the close of the band concert the peo ple began pressing into Congre33 Square church, where the oration was to he delivered. In a short time the church was well filled, and soon alter the exercises opened with a volun tary ou the organ. The opening ode was then sung by tho audience. Prayer was offered by the Grand Chaplain. Tho oration was deliv ered by Past Grand Sire J". B. Nicholson of Philadelphia. He began by an allegory, in which was set forth the nature and purpose of AJI TA. 11_A n noon f lirna mean rvf n UUU I: eilOWSllip, XVU awuuui naa fciveu ui me origin of the order in the manufacturing dis tricts of England in the latter part of the last century, and its adoption iu American in 1819, at Baltimore. The material progress of the order was traced, and its moral progress during the last half century claimed to he as great. Some of the ohjections against Odd Fellowship such as the danger arising from it as an oath bound organization, the diversion of men’s at tention trom religion engendered by it, etc.i were met and refuted. The relief features of the organization, and its system of charity, were dwelt upon at some length. The oration closed with a warm panegyric upon the order, as based upon the cardinal truth of the father hood of God, and the consequent brotherhood of man. The exercises' closed with the singing of “America” by the audience. No sooner was the oration finished than the audieuce hastened to City Hall, only to find that place already filled to overflowing by peo ple anxious to participate in or witness the dancing. The crowd assembled there threw even a Theodore Thomas concert audience into the shade. The hall was elaborately and taste fully dtcorated. On entering the corridors, columns twined with flags and star studded blue bunting greeted the eye of the visitor. The hall proper was ornamented with hundreds of yards of bunting. Banners of mauy na tions hung from the walls. The gallery was draped with pink and lace, embossed with her" nlilin /I At’i on n f liftln mnaninor rlnno i n rrnlrl tinrl colors. Ou the stage was a miniature encampment. Before a tent of yellow silk stood two men clad in ancient armor, and armed with swords and battle-axes. Long bands of many colored stuff hung in festoons from the ceiling to the floor of the stage. The front of the stage was draped with the stars aud stripes, and ornamented with scutcheons aud Scottish buckles. The matter was in the hands of Col. Beals, the veteran decorator, and well did he fulfil his task. Many compliments were lavished upon his taste aud skill, all of them fully deserved. Very appropriately the three links, the clasped hands, and the hand and heart, favorite sym bolic emblems of Odd Fellowship, appeared prominently among the decorations. Chinese lanters, bearing the letters I. O. O. F., illumi nated the portico of City Building. Twelve dances were on the order, and many of the audience happily and religiously went through them all. The affair was a very happy one, aud hugely enjoyed by those participating. To day the three encampments of this city, the Machigone No. 1, Eastern Star No. 2, Port land No. Ill, will make an excursion to Old Or chard Bcacli with the Nanagansett and Mos hassuck Encampments of Providence, P. G. Sire Nicholson aud other distinguished mem bers as guests. They will leave by a special train ou the Boston Maine road at 10 a. m., aud will march to the Old Orchard Houre, where the regulars will be left. After enjoying tlie signt seeing ana amusements, at z..st> p. in., a dhmer will be partaken of at tlie Old Orchard House, with Hon. ISeuj. Kingsbury, Jr., of Portland as toast master. At 5 p. m., the party return to the city, and after supper at the United States Hotel the Providence guests will be escorted to the Poston boat. Tlie majority of the lodges will leave for home this morniug. All the visiting members of the Order express themselves as well pleased with their trip. A Seizure.— Last evening as officers Bice and Miles were making their usual inspection on Commercial street, they discovered two fellows with suspicions looking packages. The officers accosted the men, and asked them what they had. They replied champagne cider. The officers concluded to inspect the packages, when tliey discovered a dozen bottles of Hennessey brandy, which they took to the station, and with it the men, who hail from Lewiston, Mysterious Operation.—Monday night, about midnight, the watchman at the Bolling .Mills saw a carriage pass over Vaughan’s bridge, and go in the direction of the bridge of the Uostou Maine. The carriage was gone about an hour, and then it returued and came into the city. For some reason the watchman had his curiosity aroused, went a short distance in the direction that the team had taken and found a place where the earth had been re moved. He procured a spade and soon found a small box hurried, containing the body of a still born child. He notified Coroner Gould who removed the body to a suitable hurrying 1 place. mUCBLliANEOCS NOTICES. Anything desired in a Catholic Bookstore can be found at T. P.

POETRY. Song of the Flail. In the Autumn, when the hollows All are filled with flying leaves, And the colonies of swallows Quit the quaintly stuccoed eaves, And a silver mantle glistens Over all the misty vale, Sits the little wife and listens To the beating of thetbtfl. To the pounding ot the flail Bv her cradle sits aP‘*^8!je?,8 ‘To the flapping ol the flail. The bright summer days are over, And her eye no longer sees The red bloom upon the clover, The deep green upon the trees; Hushed the song of finch and robin, With the whistle of the quail; But she hears the mellow throbbing Ot the thunder ot the flail, The low thunder ot the flail— Through the amber air the throbbing And reverberating flail. In the bam the stout young thresher Stooping stands with rolled-up sleeves, Beating out his golden treasure From the ripped and rustling sheaves; Oh, was ever knight in armor— Wardor all in shining mail— Hait so liaudsome as her tanner As he plies the flying flail. As he wields the flashing flail?— The bare-throated, brown young farmer, As he swings the sounding flail All the hopes that saw the sowing All the sweet desire of gain, All the joy that watched the growing And the vellowing ot tbe gram. And the love tint went to woo her, And the faith that shall not fail All are speaking softly to her In the pulses of the flail, Of the palpitating flail. Past and Future whisper to her In the music of the flail. In its crib tbeir babe id sleeping, And the sunshine from the door All the afternoon is creeping Slowly round upon the floor; And the shadows soon will darken, And the daylight soon must pale, When the wife no more shall hearken To the tramping ot the flail, To the dancing of the flail When her heart no more shall hearken To the footfall of the flail. And the babe shall grow and strengthen, Be a maiden, be a wife. While the moving shadows lengthen Round the dial of their life: Theirs the trust ot friend ami neighbor, And an age serene and hale, When machines shall do the labor Of the strong aria and the flail, Of the stout heart and the flail— Great machines perform the labor Of the good old fashioned flail. But when, blessed among women, And when, honored among men. They look round them, can the brimming Of t heir utmost wishes then Give them happiness completer? And can ease and wealth avail To make any music sweeter Than the pounding of the flail? Oh, the sounding of the flail! Never music can be sweeter Than the beatiug of the flail! —J. T.

In short it is tlie SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above particulars. COLT’S ARMS CO. have spared no expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA CHINES with which to build these Engines, so tli*£ every part is made up to gauge, and are perfectly in terchangeable, the importance of which will be un derstood by all who are at all familiar with machin ery. Thus, every Engine of* a given size is an exact duplicate of every other one of that size, and m case ol breakage, the broken part can be immediately re placed by its perfect duplicate. The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its construction, the great need that exists tor a perfect Steam Engine—of small power—adapted to all kinds of light mechanical work, and that should also com bine all that is good iu Steam Engineering. The first point was, to secure a perfectly philo sophical Boiler and Furnace, in order to insure the most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest possible amount of heat in generating steam. The second point was, to make a perfect cut-off Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up the temperature of the cylinder to prevent loss by radiation or condensation. Tlie third point was. to combine and make the whole a mechanically and scientifically correct ma chine; all its parts being provided with means to lake up lost motion, so that it may be used for any number of years, and always run smoothly. In all these particulars as much care has been taken as in the largest and most perfect engine ever constructed. The result is—tiie greatest amount of power PROPORTIONED TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON SUMED—thus proving the fact—well known to men of science—that water is tlie best medium to trans mit the mechanical forces, generated in the com bustion of fuel, to the production of motive power.
