dependent Course of Lectures now in pro-

than 81 900, to the fund of this Commission.

active agency in the field and hospital, in Au-

the city 5000; since then they have raised
$500 in the city, making $500 in money. be-
sides large quantities in stores of various
kinds, the value of which they have not esti-

The city has made no speculation out of the

of public buildings charged is 1915 for city

To make out case against Portland 'He-

ment in Portland, from May Is to June 20,
1861, was S6,0SS.95. This is mere pop-cock,
for neither regiment went into camp in full
numbers, but single company or part OF a

mAxIMIIIAN SHORT OF FINDS.

MAMMALIAN, Emperor of Mexico, is in
trouble. Six months have scarcely elapsed
since he assumed his throne, but those six
months have proved to His Most Royal High
ness that royalty, like poverty, can suffer for
the want of the wherewithal to buy a roll or
a pork chop. To tell the truth "right out in
SCHOOL, MACMILLAN is short in pocket
before half year has passed by. He does
not know what to do. His credit is not of the
very best. His notes are not of the gilt-edged
character known on Third street, and his
promises to pay" are considered rather
doubtful even among the distinguished gem
tlemeh who occupy " first places" at the heads
Of nations in Europe. NAPOLEON has no
francs to throw away. France once made a
bad investment in Mexico. FRANZ JOSEPH,
Imperial Master of Austria, cannot afford to
spend anything more on his august brother 4;
and the RorHsCHILDs have no idea of going
extensively into Mexican bonds. MAXI
MILAN is in sorry plight and doubtless
realizes the maxim,
"Uneasy lies the head that weats a crown"
especially ii money is wanting to make it sit
well on the brow, and fill the imperial cellars
and larders with lile's good things.
But we have the idea exactly for MAIL
MILAN, in his dilemma Let him at once
apply to his brother autocrst, His Excellency
JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Lord RUssELI's $50
called Confederate States" Let him ask
DAVIS in a clever, cap-him-on-the-shoulde
style, for the loan OF few millions COntede-
rate money. DAVIS has an abundance on
hand and now that the Rebel Congress in
tends "rasing his wages" he will be better
able to lend a fellow-s1fferer the needed cur
rency. Richmond can appreciate the incoD-
venience which besets Mexico, and a gene
rous and chivalric ruler like DAVIS could
not refuse prompt and timely assistance. Be-
sides, he may need MAXISuLIAN's aid him
self one OF these days, and it would be nice
arrangement TO invest CARLOAD or two OF
TRENHoLN's Confederate pictures" in the
new Emperors Mexican enterprise AS
DAVIS is cut off from speculating in petro-
leum, this is about his only chance for going
into "a market" with his money.
We throw the hint out to both the "seedy'

LITERARY VIEWS AFooT.
George Alfred Townsend, in Harpcrs Magazine
for January gives the following advice to nOmsdic
young kHJate'vS;-"Let no young man be
tempted to put the sea between his home and
himself, how seductive soeyer be the experiences
Of book-mSkers and poetic pedestrians. One
hours contemplation of poverty in foreign lands
will line the boys face with the wrinkles Of years
and burn into his soul that witherng dependency
which will rankle long after his priyatons are
forgotten"
He details some curious experiences in the
attempt to sustain hmselfby writing in London -
"Had l been prudent with my means, and
prompt to advantage myself of opportunities, |
might have obtained access 10 the best literary
society, and sold my compositions for cores
pOndngy higher prices. Social standing in
Enpii-h literature is of equal consequence with

artists. Strange men were they to be SO far from

were quite destitute. Two of them only had per-
manent employment; few, now and then sold
design to a magazine; the mass went out

most part kindly to one another; and meeting In
their lodgings, where their tenure was uncertain,

.,,yp,AN.s NEW CAMPAIGN.
A nluy AyrEuNooN NEvsrArBR.

Tho newspapers Of the Sou.h are not only
soIcconadent enough to boast that all that
surRSAN has hitherto done is tor the good Of
the Coufederacy, but they are kind enough TO
furnish us with the plan Of the new campaign
he is inaugurating. SHERMAN, it seems, is to
start from Port Royal, and move straight for
Branchville, and then to follow the main lines
OF roads towards Virginia, "stealing and
numbering" as much as possible during
the march. But the grand congratulatory
idea, somewhat irreverent though it be-
is that "SHEBMAN proposes and LEE
disposes." The fine dispositions of LEE
have not hitherto shown 20 the very greatest
advantage. To our mind it is SHERMAN who
disposes Ho disposed Of Atlanta long ago.
Through his months march thence to the sea-
coast he disposed of an extensive belt Of towns.
Every gem in the baldrc which that knight
wears represents a separate victory. Now he
has disposed of Savannah, and is about to dis
pose Of Augusta, Charleston, and perhaps
Richmond. Were SHERMAN's measures in
spired by the recklessnes5 which comes from
success, be might adopt the profane one o.
Napoleon and exclaim, " l PROPOSE and dis
pose, too"

and to know how to say Il decently. If ne
cannot be profound, let him be brilliant; and
II he cannot please himself by utterng stupid
truths, let him fascinate his audience and de-
ceve no one by smart Inventions II some Of
our orators had more Of the actors tact and
self-poise, the deluded public would not be
treated to so many balks in the lecturing way
to such succession Of awkward attempts at
amusement and instruction.
In lecture we do not need a set Of gram
matcal phrases, whose tenor is that If we are
virtuous we shall be happy Our copy books
enumerated that pleasing fact long since.
Neither do we need a series of profound argu-
meDts, spoken in a tombstone voice, and
accompanied with gestures which hint that
the speaker has been educated in a graveyard,
and accustomed from his infant years TO
shrouds instead Of shirts. We are acquiring
the habit Of going to the lecture-hall less for
instruction than for entertainment for an enter
tainment altogether Of a different nature from
that obtained at the theatre At a church we
inyigorate the religious faculties. We want a
style Of lecturing which shall suit those who
are tired Of the bold hard style, which resem-
bles moral essays being read, and who think
they cannot conscentiously visit the theatre.
And the nation which is ahead of all the world
in everything, is developing this class Of lee
turers. The coming season will prove to tho
public how much innocent enjoyment they
can coudense in one short hour, and to the
racy humorist how many thousands a week
he can pocket toi fall back upon when lecturiug
as q fine art shall be exhausted.
