THE GRAND CONCERT MONDAY NIGHT
The highly satisfactory concert the Varian-
Hoffman combination gave last fall in Port
land, is still fresh in the minds. OF those who
were present, and we are sure the coming
concert will equal it. The performance is .
splendid one, and we can safely say Madam
Varian as singer is Portland favorite. She
always sings admiralty, and looks charming
ly. Her assistants are also artists of merit
Mr.. Simpsons fame as tenor singer has pre-
ceded him. He is excellent, and Mr.. Hofi
man is very popular as a pianist and compos-
er. We trust our citizens will give these
really meritorious artists an oyerfowing

Express trains, one due here at 6 35 p. M,
and The other at 8 Is P. M, bei0g behind
time several hours, were united The train
consisted OF two locomotives and eleven cars
besides the baggage aid express cars.
The accident was caused by the breaking of
rail in two pieces. The engines and baggage
and express cars passed over in safety. The
smoking car and six coaches were thrown off
the track, two OF which were precipitated
down an embankment into ditch, where the
water was two or three ieet deep. Two pas

To-day Sheridan's officers and soldiers pre-
sented seventeen captured flags to the Secre-,
tary OF War. 1t was a very pleasant affair,
and will be fully noticed in the papers.
At a visit to the Capitol this morning, we
found that some alterations, very much for
the better, were about to be commenced.--
The old "Hole in the WALL" which has so
long ministered to the spiritual necessities Of
man, will now furnish food for the mind. l.,
with the room attached, used as the Senate
Post Office, is to be thrown into the Law L.
brary, and it is much needed improvement.
1t may not be generally known that we have
for its size, one OF the best selected Libraries
in the country. The Law Library is part of
it, though detaehed-yet its benefits are con-
fined to select few; BY law, none but Mem
bers of Congress, Heads of Departments and
Bureaus can take books from it. This is a
great privation to the many. True, during
the session, one can go daily and read; and
in the recession Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays; that is not sufficient Strange to
say, there is not single other Library in the
city-not even respectable secondhand cir
culating one. In conversation with Mr..
Spoffard, the new Librarian, we learn he in
tends to recommend to the next Congress to
allow citizens to take books therefrom, on de-
posting the value thereof. 1t will, of course,
entail large amount of extra labor upon him
self and assistants, and even if it required the
outlay of thousand or SO dollars, it should
be done; for there are thousands here who
would gladly avail themselveso of such a privi-.
lege. We trust it will be done.
The Opera Of the .Huguenots," last night,

Esq, City Marshal of Portsmouth, N. Fl.
yesterday arrested in that place Joseph H,
Kennedy, one of the soldiers who deserted
from Fort Preble last Sunday night. Ken
nedy escaped with three others. He says that
they walked to Kennebunk and there separa
ted, he taking the cars to Portsmouth, where
he arrived Thursday evening.
Yesterday he went to the Provost MarshalS
office in that city for the purpose Of again eu-
listing. FIonf the sharp manner in which the
officer eyed him he thought he was known,
and therefore lett the Office and went to dis
reputable house for concealment. Some
words that fell from him were told to Mar
shall Dresser, who determined to arrest him as
descitsr. Taking with him policeman, the
Marshal went TO the house where the fellow
was concealed, but the inmates declared that
he had left. The Marshal sent his policeman
away, but remained himself, and then search
ed the premises. In room up stairs he
found Kennedy engaged in making bargain
with two substitute brokers to enlist in some
other place. The Marshal arrested him as
deserter, buthe denied 1t. Finally he owned
up, told how he and his comrades escaped,
and offered the Marshal $1,000 t. let him CO.
saying he had family and friends ia Canada
who would furnish him with any amount Of
money. The Marshal was not to be bribed !;
he ironed his prisoner, brought him to the
city last evening and delivered him up to our
