Political Notes.

We see by the newspapers that the Massachu-
sstts delegates attribute Mr.. Wilson's defeat at
Chicago solely to the obstinacy of the Maine
men who refused to unite with them ON any
terms from the beginning. Considering the
friendly part which Massachusetts played in
the Baltimore convention four years ago, we
don't wonder that the Bay State considers her.
self ill-used. la s4-
Among the twenty-four speeches made at
Chicago by way of presenting names of can
didates for the Vice Presidency, General Shep-
ley's introducing the name of Hannibal Ham
lin is said to be the best.
The President doesn't like the Republican
platform, which is pity, and is confident
that if he is nominated by the Democrats in
July he can beat Grant at the polls. He is al
likely to be nominated as to beat Grant and
no more.
1t is singular fact that two Kansas Sena-
tors, the one the successor of the other have
committed suicide. One, Lane, is dead; the
other, Ross, is living.
A Wisconsin editor remarked last week, "Ii
Andrew johnson gets clear it will not affect
our politics, but it will give our religion an
awful strain"
The President has signed and approved q
bill making an appropriation for the expenses
of the trial of the Impeachment of Andrew

Railroad and other officials at York, Penn

LARGE DIVIDENDS AND ABILITY TO Paw
THEM.-We learn that the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co. have recently changed
their mode of paying dividends from four to
three years, and that it is now paving all its
members who have been insured four years a
dividend of 100 per cent. for the year 1868.
The liberal returns which this Company is
thus enable to make its members, are due in a
large degree to its low expenses, which we are
informed have for several years past been con-
siderably below any other Company in the
United States. Warren Sparrow, ESQ.,, 70

Patent Jump-Seat Carriages.

A LLOW US to call your attention to the KIMBALL
n JUMP-SEAr CARRIAGE-as used for two
four persons. We have made great number OF
these Carriages the past four years. ranging in weh
from 1856 to 425 pounds, capable OF carrying four
grown persons, and we believe they are universally
liked better than any Carriage before offered TO
the public. aaGff 7ef
In addition TO those heretofore built, which We
have greatly improved, have invented and patent
ed and are now making an entirely NEW STYLE
JUMP SEAT, with Buggy Top to fall back or take off,
making six different ways the same Carriage can be
used, each perfect IN itself, and manufactured by
other concern in the United States.
Finding it impossible to supply the demand for
these desirable ana popular Carriages in the old fac
tory, we have built large and oommodious factory,
corner Preble and Cumberland Streets Portland,
Tor the manufacture of these Carriages exclusively
and we are prepared to fill all orders at short
notice and GU reasonable terms.
We have letters from nearly One Hundred persons
owning and using these carriages, all stating that
they surpass anything ever before invented for
family carriage, and recommending all to purchase
them in preference to any other kind Cuts of the
carriages price list &C., sent by mail, applica
ton to the subscribers.
All persons are hereby cautioned against making
or selling the Kimbal Patent Jump Seat, as in
ventions and patents cover every possible movement
oi both seats.

MAUD's REvENGE.-The young ladies of the

interested all present in the highest degree The
extravagances of "Maud's Revenge are even
more laughable than those of "Pepita." If it
could be performed with the advantages of
scenery and the other usual theatrical acces-
saries its success would be unbounded The
novel features of the orchestra are especially
deserving of notice. 1t is to be hoped that this
charming operetta will be repeated sometime

A Busy PLACE.-We yesterday visited the
establishment of the American Water Works
Company on the corner of Lincoln and Preble
streets. There are in all about fifty workmen
engaged here now, and our first impression on
entering was that each one was trying to see
who could make the most noise,-and the
longer we staid the more convinced we became
that each mans endeavors was success.
Besides being the noisest this is one of the
busiest places that we ever visited About
seventy sections of this pipe are now turned
off daily and set away ready to be cemented.
The temporary building erected for this pur-
pose is 100 feet long by 40 feet wide, with an L
of the same width and fifty feet long. Thus
far all the pipe has been cemented at Sacca-
Kappa, but arrangements are now being made
and will soon be perfected, to do part of it
here. The process of making the pipe is quite
interesting: The iron is delivered at this es-
tablishment in sheets about six feet long and
three feet wide. A sheet of this is first taken
and trimmed the proper size, when two men
take it and place it under mammoth punch
ing machine, when at one motion the end is
perforated with holes about three inches apart.
1t is then turned and the other end punched
in the same manner. 1t is next run between
three rollers which gives it the tubular shape.
After this the riveters take it over the man
chills and the rivets are inserted and fastened
with sets. Three of these parts are then rivet-
ed together which forms section ready to be
cemented.
1t is all under the foremanship of Mr.. Buck

The ELASTICITY OF JUDGE CHAsE's
PLATFoRM.-The New York has the
following in regard TO the Chief Jus
tice:
"No Democrat need hesitate to
give his support to Judge Chase on
the score of principle. 'These sus-
penders," said an auctioneer, "are
elastic-long enough for any man,
short enough for any boy, and wars
ranted to fit" In short, Judge Chase
is willing to go as far as he can ID ev-
cry direction, for ever J thing, and
against everything, if he can only
be elected President. He does it,
too, with such dignity and such per>
feet consistency that no one can find
any fault. The Democracy cannot
have a more faultless candidate"

1T has been my good fortune to

took place on the bank section. The
bill as passed, is thus summed up:
Distilled spirits are taxed so cents
a gallon, besides suhdry taxes on its
sale in various stages, including one
of 81 per barrel extra on bonded
whiskey ; that the two varieties of
tobacco are reduced respectively to
16 cents and 80 cents per pound, and
the collectisn OF both forms of tax are
provided for by very efficient machin>

parties is that the revenue from dis
