THE LOYAL LEAGUE.-The military order
of the Loyal League will celebrate WashingJon's
Birthday at the Academy by pubic meeting.
The purposes of the organization are thus set
forth:-
Article 3. The object of this order shall be to
perpetuate the memories and associations OF the
war waged in defense of the unity and ndivisi-
bihty OF the republic; to strengthen the ties of
fratenal fellowship and sympathy formed from
comnanionship in arms; to advance the best
interests of the soldiers and sailors of the
United States, especially OF those associated as
members OF this order, and 10 extend all posi-
BILE relief to their widows and children to foster
the cultivation of military and naval science; to
protect everywhere the rights and liberties of
American citizenship; and to maintain always
national honor, union, and Independence.
Article 4. Section s. The fundamental princi-
Piles of this order being recognized as the only
test Of loyal citizenship the discussion of secta-
rian or partisan topics within the precincts OF q
commandery is forbidden.
In the order there are three classes:-First,
officers and honorably discharged soldiers OF the
army and navy; second, the sons Of such mem-
bers, or of officers who were honorably dis
charged; and third, such civilians as we're Of
eminent service to the Government during the
war in connection with the army and navy. OF
these latter there cannot, we believe. be more
than one to each eight members of the first
class; and as honorary members they are not to
be assessed for either initiation fees or annual
subscription.

f The WORLD WE LIVE IN.--Last evening,
at the Academy OF Music, Professor r. Il.
Rodgers, NJ d.. of the University OF Pennsyl-
Tania, delivered his eecond lecture for the benefit
ot the Soldiers and Sailors Homo. Professor
Rodgers briefly stated the actions of the various
forces Of nature, as explained IN the report OF
the fret lecture, He declared that in all combi-
into new compounds nothing existing was de-
stroyed, the materials simply being turned into
new channels. To Illustrate his statements, Pro
fessor Rodgers exhibited series of experiments
of unparalleled brlliancy.
A little rubber balloon, inflated with oxygen
and carbon, was suspended, and by the applica-
hon of heat the gases we're made to unite, caus-
ing great expansion, so that the balloon was
rent, a vacuum made into which the air rushed
with q loud report, and a little drop of water
the fruit OF the union. BY this was explained
the theory of thunder; the lightning or electric
fash passing through the atmosphere caused n
vacuum into which rushed the air with the loud
report. TO the ladies were revealed she secrets
OF the rich Magenta, Solerino, and Royal Purple
dyes that enrich their woollens and silks and the
dark coal oil was made TO give its color to the
hank OF wool In chemical union tnat dehed
separation.
Electro-maenetism revealed much to delight
Bars OF iron and huge magnets were acted on
by the electric current, and clenched to their
embrace nails and spikes innUmerable insepa-
rable until the wire connection was severed.
The idea Of the telegraph was striklngly por
trayed, calculating how the chemical action Of
the acid and zinc, producing an electrical action,
was diverted into motion by passing around a
bar of ssft iron rolled with wire so that the bar
was made to strike upon a prepared surface.
The like motion was applied TO car which ran
upon It's circular railway at a speed directly con-
trollable at pleasure. Other experiments fol-

AMIABLE.-Here is specimen of the kind
of talk which most Democrats are ashamed to
utter publicly, but which flows from Tom
Florence, one of the Presidents special friends,
as easily as water runs down hill. We quote
from the Washington Union of the Sd inst.
These men had better beware. They are
not legal Congress, but an unconstitutional
body OF jumpers. The country feel that the
one great error Of the President was in ever
recognizing them at all, in their self-imposed
rump condition. They had no claim for rec
ignition as an official body, from any honest
man, or any other branch Of the government.
We doubt whether the Supreme Court will
ever affirm any Of their statutes to be valiJ.-
This thing of Congressional fanaticism and
treason ought to be done away with. The
American Congress now is the fac sinaile of
that Bump Parliament which stank in the
nostrils of all good men, and which Cromwell
kicked out of doors and served them lust
RIGHT. A little Cromwelian pluck is the
thing Just needed now, and there are taoenty-
t,co hundred thousand democrats IN the North
Ubo acould back that kind of pluck aoith
good deal of relish just now. The issue
should be Joined at once.

Some of our readers, whose good opinion
we value, have been kind enough to Suggest
that the Press is publishing too little matter
just now, to satisfy the community. we Gu
treat our friends to remember that advertisers
have rights as well as readers. In ehoeavoi-
ing to strike the balance between the conflict
ing claims, we do not expect 10 please every
body. but only to do our best. Some OF our
friends who complain that the amount OF read
ing has been diminished OF late by the press
of advertisements, would complain still more
bitterly and with at least equal right, II we
were TO refuse to publish notices important to
their business interests. We have turned
away advertisements of no pressing imp0r-
tance day after day. There are others which
we do not feel at liberty to decline-which we
could not decline without inficting direct
injury upon our patrons. We are bound also
by contract, to publish advertisements receiy-
ed before the influx began.
But while we regret that our news columns
have been somewhat contracted of late, we
nevertheless desire readers to remember that
we furnish as much news every day as any
other newspaper in Maine. A falling OIL is
noticed, simply because we have heretofore
been in the habit Of publishing much larger
variety of news than any other journal this
side of Boston. We invite the attention OF
readers to the following table. exhibiting the
number of columns of news Including OF
course marine news, market reports, every
thing except advertisements) in the three
morning papers of this city for Friday and
argus Advertiser Press.
Friday St
Saturday 103 223
The columns of the argus and Advertiser
are 23 inches long; those OF the Press 25. 1t
will be seen that on Friday the Press publish
ed more than the Argus and as much as the
Advertiser, within small fraction of col
umn, which was more than made up by the
use of smaller type for many articles. We are
not aware of any circumstances which render
the comparison of Friday unfair to either pa
per. On Saturday we published in our regu-
lar edition and supplement as much matter Of
general interest as the Argus usually publish
es IN three daysi 1t must be remembered that
% IL columns of the Press are equal to "a of
the argus.
In conclusion. we have only to say, that we
shall continue to use our best endeavors to
serve both the business and the reading COM
munity. Weshall publish as much news ev-
cry day as any other paper in the State, and
until we can publish more, we shall continue
from time to time to issue supplements.

Progress of Civilization in the East.


Somebody who writes for the Philadelphia
Press, has been looking over batch of Con-
stantinople newspapers, and is surprised at
the evidence they contain of the rapid prog
ress ofthe Turks in the path of Frankish civil-
cation. A great many newspapers are now
printed in the dominions of the Sultan, in the
Turkish, Arabic, Armenian, French, Italian
and English languages. The Lecant Herald,
published at Constantinople every Wednesday,
contains eight pages the size Of HarpeTs
Weekly, and is supplied at eight dollars year.
1t contains reports of proceedings in the Brit
ish parliament, leading articles from London
and Paris papers, a summary Of European and
American news, a trife of literary criticism, a
fair quantity of "locals," a few columns of Cos
sip, and some general political comments,
chiefly on European matters.
The Press writer says:
"Here, as elsewhere, good deal may be
learned from the advertisements. We perceive
that these include the usual announcements
of steam travel by sea and land-quack medi-
cines, with the usual puffs, warranted to cure
all diseases-notices from fire, lite and marine
insurance offces-American cotton ginS-ven-
doris of drugs and wine-the Roberts College
(English) at Bebek, now in its third year, with
a Doctor OF Divinity for its principal-ammu
milton for sportsmen-a new plan OF gas-llght-
ing-GiLL0trs metallic pens-LeG and Perrin's
Worcestershire Sauce-a new volume on Iur-
key, and uis-d-uis with certain Turko-French
and o-English textbooks, the new illus
trated edition of Webste's Dictionary, ION
sale, in various bindings, at the Protestant
bookstore, STEAMBOAT; at Messrs. MindssiGn's,
Galata, and at Messrs. Kgtter and Weiss,
Pera." We should not omit to mention that
Day G. Mdrtin's "1eal Japan Backing" Is also
Observation-Disclosures it would appear that Corr
stantinopie does not yet rejoice in patent-leath-
er boots.
In addition to these there is an official an
nouncement of the kinds of valuable matter
which may be transmitted through the imperi-
al post Office; programme of the spring
meeting of the Smyrna horse-races, and thea
trical criticism upon the playing of Othelto by
Ira Aldrilge, the American tragedian. From
all which it is quite evident that European
and American civilization is making astonish-
ing strides among the followers of the Proph-
ct. Such an infusion of Western ideas and
manners can hardly fail to be beneficial. 1t is
like the introduction of new blood into the
epfeebled veins of the "sick man" whose case
has of late years interested the wise doctors
of Europe, and if carried far enough may pos
sibly work a cure.
