hi STEAMSHIP ONTARIO, the pioneer OF
the American steamship Company's Boston
and Liverpool line, has made a trial trip
of twenty-five hours, leaving Boston Monday
afternoon and returning Tuesday, The capac-
ty OF the Ontario is about 5000 tons; length OF
keel, 322 feet; breadth of beam, 43 feet 0 inch
es; depth of hold 20 feet; length over all, $50
feet. Her motive power will consist of two
vertical engines of170O horse power, with cyl
inders of "a inches diameter and As inches
stroke of PISTON She-wi have four main
boilers and one auxiliary boiler with a CRATE
surface of 500 feet, and heating surface of
1900 feet. She will accommodate 125 cabin
passengers and upwards of 600 steeraee pas
sengers; but the company do not intend to
convey passengers of the latter class, it, as ex-
pected, they obtain sufficient amount of
freight for which the steamer has capacity of
1900 tons weight On her trial trip, with the
application of four ffths of her power, she
made the distance between Minot's Ledge and
Boston Light-about 71-2 miles in 40 min
utes, a rate of IL Ia knots.
The Ontario is the first steamer built in the
United States for the English trade since the
launching of the Adratic, of the Collins line,
about ten years ago. This fact, while not cred
liable to the general commercial enterprise of
the country, should be considered in awarding
their just due to the Boston merchants who
have enabled the American Company to build
two capacious and magnificent steamers with
which to compete again with Europe for the
steam commerce of the Atlantic. The COM
mander Of the Ontario, Captain Farnk Hallett,
and her first and second officers, have had the
advantage oflong service in the American and
Liverpool trade.

THE LORD BOND RoBBERY-Who Restored
the Bonds. 1t appears that such arrangements
had been made by the detective police in this
country and in Europe that none of the miss
ing Lord bonds could be put on either the Eu-
ropean or American market without leading to
the detec tion of the man who dared the under
taking. This being the case, in due time
there came the astonishing announce ment
that 81 100000 worth of the bonds had been re-
turned to MIR. Lord by certain parties in New
York, who had received them from another
party in Europe, with an order to hand them
over to the rightful owner. But who these
parties were could not be learned at the time,
and much talk about the compromising of a fell
ony by the detectives ensued On Monday
last, however, this part of the case was made
clear by the revelation of the fact that the par
ty on this side of the Atlantic who had re-
ceived the bonds was the firm OF James q.
King & ons, banters, of New York, and that
the European party was the well-known bank
ers, Barring Brothers of London. 1t appears
that the latter firm obtained the bonds from a
lawyer in the English capital, who received
them direct from those parties who had come
by them in an unlawful manner He, of
course is now the sole possessor of the secret
as to the identity of the guilty parties who
held them. The total amount received from
this lawyer by the Messrs. Barring Brothers,
which was transferred by them to Mr.. Lord
through the firm of James G.. King & Sons
was about 81 400 600, 5000, 600 more than was
at first reported as having been restored a
month ago.

The Argus calls "The Grand Army of the
Republic" political society Our neighbor
ought to "take the papers" 1t has been af-
firmed, over and over again, by men who be
long to the order, that its objects are purely
social. The Argus also speaks of the Good
Tempars and Sons of Temperance as political
organizations. As they embrace members OF
both political parties, and do not allow politi-
cal topics to be introduced at their meetings.
that allegation is rather wild. Our neighbor
also speaks of the Wide Awakes as Republi-
can secret society. Is it possible that the Ar
gus doesn't know that brass band would be
as properly designated a "secret society" as
these Republican clubs! These are corrections
enough for one paragraph. As to the aLoyal
League" which was founded in the Border
States in time of war; and still continues to
flourish in disturbed Southern communities,
the exceptional circumstances of its origin are
its only land in our opinion sufficiently excuse
1t has never had any vitality in the Northern
States. Where men are prescribed for their
political opinions, it may be necessary for them
to unite for self-protection in secret societies:
but with freedom of speech and action perfect
as IL is here and now, We must regard the ex-
lstence OF secret political associations &c nm
necessary and dangerous.

ONE of the apostles left off writing what is

such scruples respecting the Globe. Having

the stenographer's labors are lightened, and the
Congressional Globe approximates more and
more nearly to the proportions of the great
globe itself. Virgil directed bis executors to
burn his great epic after his death, feeling that
its unfinished state rendered it unworthyof the
attention of mankind. But honorable mem
bers are troubled with no morbid seLsitiveness
of this kind. If they lack the ability or the
leisure 10 produce neat and appropriate
speech in the retirement of their own cham
bers they go where merchandise of this kind
is for sale and buy an Grafton as they would a
mutton chop. Thus they are enabled to make
arespectable appearance in the published de
bates and to,increase their fame among an ad-
miring constituency. This method of obtain

Gus. Many biblionaniac, who has paid an
exorbitant price for some rare old book, some
Elzevir or Aldine, believing it is to be the only
one in existence, has gone mad with rage at
finding the dishonest tradesman had duplicates,
and had sold the other volume to Jones who
lived in the next street. But he has only been
swindled, while the publisher of duplicate
speech finds himself the subject of 'inextin-
guishable laughter" forever. The latter mis-
fortune is rare one, but it sometimes occurs.
In the debate last Saturday concerning the
publication of speeches ON the veto message
Gen. Schenck called attention to the fact that
two Ohio Democrats. members of the thirty
seventh Congress, once printed the same

other in March. He revealed by accident tie

DEATH OF SEWARD MERRILL.-Mr Seward
Merrill the well known bridge and wharf
builder, died at his residence in this city on
Tuesday, after long protracted and, at times
very painful illness, at the age Oft years. Mr..
Merrill was born in Falmouth, and was in his
early years, engaged in ship building. After
wards he came to this city and established
himself in the grocery business with his brother
Charles, and subsequently went into naviga-
tion When the system of railroads was start
ed in this State, he entered upon the business
OF bridge building, and was engaged upon the
P. S. & P. Railroad bridge to Cape Elizabeth
When the Atlantic & st. Lawrence Railroad
was started, Mr.. Merrill became an important
contractor in building the bridge across Back
Cove, and for some other structures. He was
one of the contractors that built Galt's wharf
He was an enterprising and energetic man,

MIR. EDToR:-1n yesterdays Press you
copy from an editorial in the New York Trib-
une Horace Greeley's statement that his NOM
inaton as Minister TO Austria took him by sur
prise, and intimating that he would not have
accepted the appointment, if confirmed.
Nowl SIR, may do Mr.. Greeley inJustioe,
but do not believe him. On the contrary
suspect that when he consented to do the res
idents dirty Job of bailing Jefferson DAVIS anu
thus divided the responsibility OF the asgrace-
full act of setting at liberty the arch-traltor'
whose rebellion had cost the country $4,000
Oo, nOO and half million lives, and whose APP
nrehers sion had cost the nation 100000, he had
promise of a quid pro quo. also suspect him
of deep malignity against the Republican par
tv of New York for refusing to make him
United States Senator last winter. ssaS.
In order to aid your readers in arriving at a
correct conclusion about Mr.. Greeley's de-
signs, will you print his letter first published
in 1860 or 1861, wherein he notifies Mr.. Sew
ard OF the dissolution of the firm of Seward,
Weed and Greeley, and gives his reasons?

MIR. Crosby Clements of Kenduskeac has
shown the editor Of the Bangor Wing some
corn stalks fully fifty-seven inches high. This
is the growth of only forty-six days., and Mr..
Clements says his whole field shows more than
a growth of an inch per day. Such weather
as We are having now after the cold rainstorm
must push the corn up two inches per day, and
the squash vines will run rapidly.
The Lewiston Journal says that the Off
GERS in that city report that the sale of liquor
is almost entirely stopped. Even the most
| desperate rumsellers don't like the looks of
Jail life M
The Halowell Gazette, speaking of their
quarries says: We understand that the de-
mand for this granite would now give constant
employment to two or three hundred men. and
as its superior qualities become more ex-
tensively known, this demand will be great
ly increased. 1t is said that no stone that
goes to market hammers so nicely and
easily as this, and the most experienced build
ers in Boston pronounce it in all respects SUI
peror even to the Concord granite which has
been 50 much used in Boston and vicinity"

bees. From one hive he obtained four strong
swarms. The amount of surplus honey stored
by his bees this season, Mr.. Haywood estimates
at $50 pounds, which at 25 cents per pound
would amount to 5000.

their husbands can have warm drinks which
are better for quenching thirst than cold wa
