IMPORTANT RAILROAD CoNsUMMATIoN.-We
learn from the Troy Times that the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga Railroad Company have just eff
iected most important arrangement, whereby
they acquire the sole ownership of the con-
Meeting steamboats, on Lake Champlain and
Lake George, and obtain exclusive control of
the route as far as Plattsburgh and Rouse's
Point. Indeed, the purchase of these boats,
five in number, virtually extends the road to
those two places. The amount paid for the
steamers, some of which are new and all OF
them elegant boats, fitted up for the summer
pleasure travel, has not transpired, but it is
rangement are very advantageous to the COM.
pany. The Times says several gentlemen in
Boston were negotiating for the steamers
when the Rs s. road stepped in and made
the purchase as stated.

We forbear printing the Presidents veto oil
the hill admittino the State of Arkansas, con-
Guiding the more readily to pass it by because
we have already published 1T several times, and
it may be found in our files, paSsinl, with very
slight notifications and adaptations to the
subject matter calling it out. There was once
a man in the British Parliament who made
but single speech; that was good one, and he
was not at all disgraced by the nickname, SIN
gle-speech Hamilton" which he bore ever al
ter Mr.. Johnsons veto of the first freedmens
Bureau bill in 1866 was comparatively an able
state paper and killed the measure against
which il was directed. If he had then rested
from his labors in the direction of vetoes his
reputation would have been much better than
it is now after his incessant reteration of the
hereses that the Southern States have never
lost any of their rights, that their practical re-
lations with the Union have never been Inter
rupted, and that thev have ever since the close
of the war been entitled to representation in
Congress.
II there are slight verbal differences between
the last veto and it's predecessors the advan-
tage in respect to ability and force is with the
latter. Perhaps the fact may be accounted for
by reference to the interruption of the friendly
relations existing between the responsible au-
thor and his alter ego, Jerry Black. The I'M
grateful Pythias refused to give his Damon the
paltry boon of Alta Vela for writing him down
an ass in numberless veto messages, and Da-
mon, irate, refuses to write more.
Two things in connection with this last veto
show with most unhappy conclusiveness that
Johnson's heart is unchastenec by the severe
discipline from which he escaped on the TWEEN
ty-sixth OF May. In the first place how does it
happen that he has so soon forgotten the
promises of amendment and good behavior
which Mr.. Stanbery made with almost patEet-
ic earnestness in his behalf when pleading be
fore his Senatorial judges. IT'S still the same
A. J. "My opinion" says Mr.. johnson, has
undergone no change, but on the contrary has
been strengthened" Was ever so incorrigible
rascal? There have even been well anthem
ticated rumors that he pledged himself to Sen
ator Henderson to make very large concessions
to the Republican party in case he was acquit-
ted; is fresh veto, or the old one emphasized
little, his idea Of concession? Again, il
has been stated repeatedly, and once on the
authority of his private secretary, that the
President wonld not veto the Arkansas bill
but allow it to become law without his sigma
ture. This impression became SO firmly fixed
that we, in common with the greater number
of our editorial brethren, fell into the mistake
of supposing that the ten days allowed for a
veto had already elapsed but the usual fulmi-
nation from the White House comes at the
very last hour and Congress is forced to pass
the bill the objections to the President to the
contrary notwithstanding. All this proves thai
A. j. is still the nations "bad boy whom it ii
impossible to reclaim and whose action can
not be predicted one day in advance even by
himself.

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.-The Kingston
murder case excites almost unprecedented in
terest in Massachusetts. There seems to be a
disposition on the part of many persons to be-
lieve Andrews strange story because of the

in an article discussing the case:

The mother, as has already been stated, gave
him birth in an insane asylum. For many
years his wife has been a confirmed and help

The OPERA LAST NIGHT Notwithstanding
the mouraful representations of failure on
the part of our Portland Cassandras and Gu
rious combination of adverse circumstances,
large audience assembled at City Hall last eve
ming to welcome her Highness, the Grand
Duchess of Gerolstein. Unhappy they whom
rain, or prudery, or sickness, OR any other ca
lamity kept at home! The most impecuniOus
grudged not their money; the stoics learned to
laugh; the prudes were not shocked; and all
were delighted.
Apd first, the Grand Duchess-that majes-
tic little lady, as represented by Mile Tos-
tee. has never been adequately described. The
fquirks of blazoning pens" fail to do justice to
a very rare combination of vocal power, per-
sonal beauty and dramatic ability. The long
continued applause that followed the singing
of LIE Sabre de mon Pere and Dites Lui was
sufficient evidence of the estimation in which
the audience held the first quality. Bnt it is
the dramatic element after all that constitutes
the distinguishing characteristic of the Grand
Duchess, and it is as an actress that TOstee
gains her brightest laurels If there is one
English word that describes better than anoth-
err the general impression produced by her act
luS3 IL 10 TOyUtStucSS. Liz Sly SituCtS VI the
eye, the free and graceful movements, the ar
tistic poses the piquant facial expressions, the
sudden transitions from glee to affected dig
nifty and severity, combined with French
vivacity and abandon, make her simply mimi
table.
The secondary parts, notwithstanding the
intense interest centering in the principal per-
sonage, were by no means without due appre-
citation. NJ. Guffroy, as Fritz, was the ideal of
goodnatured, devil-may-care fellow, little
clownish, terribly unsophsticated and terribly
in love, suddenly elevated to high rank
In the wooing scene, where the Duchess striv s
to convey to him knowledge of her regard,
he is particularly felicitous OF his singing it
is no disparagement to say that it is less meri-
torious than his acting Prince Paul, Gen.
Boum and Baron Pnck, represented respect
lively by Leduc, Duchesne and Lagrifoul, are
as comcal triumvirate as one often sees.
The scene in which they plot the destruction
of the hated Fritz is exceedingly humorous
1t may be said of all these gentlemen that they
take high rank as vocalists. Mile Long
champs, as Wanda, was especially admired both
for her singing and her appropriate and
vivacious action.
The Opera Boufe is separated from the Ital-
ian Opera by as distinct lines as it is from the
regular drama, but it is calculated to please
those who enjoy more classical music as well
as those who delight in comedy, uniting as it
does many of the excelencies of both. To-
night there must be a crowded house at the
presentation of La Belle Helene, for there are
in Portland lovers of music and of the drama
enough to fill the hall, in the absence of extra
ordinary obstacles. If this prophesy does not
prove true, farewell to all hopes of an Opera
House, for it does not happen once in many
months that an entertainment is announced
that is so well calculated to draw out large
audience.
