p. L. These letters stand for Portland
Light Infantry and "Pr. tty Lively Institution. p
both of which terms are synonymous The
Infantry have not appeared in print to great
extent of late for the reason that they have be-
gun their series of private assemblies which it
would not be right for us to mention except at
their request. But notwithstanding this the
boys are going to have splendid excursion to
Biddeford next Wednesday, with dance in
the evening at the Biddeford City Hall. The
ladies are be-stirriDg themselves in preparations
for the trip, and there will b, grand good op-
portunity on this occasion to compare orr Port
land bellies with the Biddeford beauties. The
Captain of that company knows what an ex-
cursion ought to be, if any body does, and all
who wish to enjoy one OF the finest balls of the
season should not fail to attend. The price of
tickets to the dance, and fares over the road
are placed at a very moderate price, and we
think the railroad people will have their cars

1t is satisfactory to know that Disraeli IS

that his star, or his good spirit, or his familiar
devil would enable him to make good his
words, though his statements were received
with derisve laughter. But he has retired,
and Mr.. Gladstone has been "sent for" at
Windsor. But the ex-novelist retires with no
common reputation. He took office Win an

Dou,t Worry Ab.u, Grant.

Whatever you do, don't worry about Grant
He Is all right, and sound as nut on all the
cherished Republican geese. He believes in
impartial suffrage, in keeping traitors at least
one seat from the front, in prompt return to
specie payments, in keeping faithfully the ma
tons promises and in an economical admins
tratiop. He is not perhaps red hot" but is
in a state of approximate incandescence salts
factory to those who are of the esoteric school
of his followers and know what he is thinking
about.
Many people do worry about him. When
they see that Northern copperhead papers eu-
logic and Southern Rebel papers tolerate him
their souls misgive. Many wiseacre shakes
his head and mutters "Tyler and "Andrew
Johnson" when he reads in some lying print
that Grant has invited Adams to take a seat
in his cabinet or that he has written to Gener-
al Slocum. All these stories are fabIes-de-
vices Of the adversary. The idea of his play
ing false-of his resorting to chicanery and
fraud to gain power with the purpose of be-
trsying his friends il absurd to auy one who
leads only such feeble lines as history has al
feady written concerning HIM Trust to
Grant, Every day it is made clearer and
clearer TO all whose eyes have been opened
that he il the great and good man OF our

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE now
in session-at Cincinnati is considering many
matters of interest On Thursday an excited
discussion was produced by the introduction
of a series of resolutions adverse to the practice
of commission merchants in selling grain,
flour, provisions and other similar property
consigned to them, on credit. The Western
members favored the resolutions but the IN
position of Eastern merchants was strong
enough to secure their postponement till the
next session. A resolution was passed favor
ing the importation of iron and also one in fa-
vor OF requiring of National Banks state
ment of their condition, not at stated times as
now, but at periods not less than four times a
year, to be determined from time to time by
the Comptroller and always antecedent to the
date of the notification of the required return
After much discussion resolution was adop-
ted urging the cooperation of Congress with
the legislative bodies of other countries in Sc
curing lmpunity for private property in time
of war; also resolution in favor of postal
telegraph.

The meeting then adjourned.

LOCALZATIoN.-Owinge either to the scarcity
of local items or the inability of the reporter
to be everywhere at the same time, we have
been thinking how it would do if in every fire
district box should be placed with wire
connecting with the editorial rooms. Said box
to contain a battery, which, by pressing ON
handle, would send an electric current to a bell
on the locals desk, and thus inform him where
the item could be found. For instance, man
cuts his throat on Washington St, and touch
on the handle summons the newspaper man IN
twinkling to the spot. Then, instead of walk
ing the streets like an uneasy ghost, he can
crouch quietly in his little den, and like a huge
spider watch the network of his wire web,
whose ramiications extend in every direction
Then could the unquiet spirit rest; then would
there be no necessity to stand shivering in the
nipping. eager northeast wind, watching the
dirty little ragged urchins stealing" 'lasses,
with the expectation of seeing the cruel myr,
midon of the law drag them shrieking to the

THE DEATH OF BARON RoTHsCHnD.-The
closing scenes Of Barop Rothschilds lite are
thus described by newspaper correspondent.
The Baron died during the night without
main. He was fortunate to the last. with
scarcely a shudder he passed from this world.
It was three in the mornng-the family, worn
ont with constant watching, had retired to
rest-there were but two servants near the
sick man. All at once the perfect immooillty
of the body attracted the attention OF tne ser
wants, and they ascertained that Lille was ex *
tinct Since then all the family have moi let'
the chamber where the body lies. Inc Iur nr
and. according TO the Jewish rites, the mourn,
ers sit there on bare floor Each morning anu
evening the friends of the family meet to pray
in that room. Their clothes are rent, the men
do not shave; in this disorder are the outward
signs of woe. As the Baron was mos. hiH u,
and affectionate father and husband, the IN,
ward sufferings of tho.e bereaved must, OF
course be From the see
and uerfnmed there, and then buried accord
ing to the Jewish ceremonial.

A CURIOUS AND DEPRAvED TAsTE.-A
gentleman residing iu this city, who has hith-
erto borne an excellent character and been
highly respected, has suddenly taken to disso-
lutte courses that will inevitably impair his
usefulness as a public officer and his good
standing as citizen. He informs us that he
employs his leisure time in reading the verba-
tim report of the impeachment trial recently
published in three large and closely printed
vclumesl His friends have warned him that
there is but one step from this to daily Pc
rusal of the accounts of the progress OF the
Erie litigations in the New York papers, but
such is his infatuation that he turns deaf ear
TO their entreaties. We suggest to them that
they bring the accused before Judge Kings

them to draw large audience. Tickets can
be procured during the day at Paine's Music
