THE New England delegates to Chicago are
"faring sumptuously every day" on their way
westward. Upon arriving at Niagara Falls
tney held a meeting at which resolutions were
passed favoring the conviction of the Presi-
dent, and the same were forwarded to all the
New England Senators. A dispatch to the
Boston papers says that the delegates have
thus far had very pleasant, uneventful Jour-
ney, saving few hours detention by gale on
the Sound. After taking the train on the Erie
line, they were the object of constant and I'M
Wearied attentions on the part of its officers
and agents. They were provided with free
passes to Niagara Falls and a sumptuous din
ner at Turner's Station. The commodious
cars, the splendid engineering of the road and
the perfect system with which its running is
managed commanded their admiration. A
resolution rendering the thanks of the Joint
delegations to the officers and agents of the
Erie railroad was adopted unanimously 1t
should be stated that the Fall River and New
port line, and the Great Western and Michi-
gan lines tof railroad, have united with the
Erie road in rendering free passes to the dele
gates to Chicago and return.

Political Notes.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says: "The image
of an ideal Democracy, which moves in the
minds of the present Ohio Legislature, seems
TO be government where no schools, nor
school houses,nor teachers are tolerated. They
oisiranchise those who go to college. They
wouid gladly disfranchise all who have ever
been to college"

The VERY THING.-Mr. s.. f. Conant, of
Skowhegan has patented very neat and pref
ty but simple invention which will certainly
meet the approval of the ladies. This is the
"Ocean Wave Hair Crimper," which impal is
pretty and graceful wave to the hair, leav-
ing it glossy and smooth, and without fray
ing or otherwise injuring its texture. When
worn it looks like pair of pretty gold side
combs; and the young lady who is inclined to
make herself perfectly destructive for an eve
ming party can wear the "Crimpers' all day
without denying herself to visitors because
she is "such fright

Miss PETERS BRNEFrT.-It will be seen by
reference to our Amusement column that the
complimentary benefit to Miss Peters will be
given by the Portland Amateur Dramatic Club
on Wednesday evening next. The success OF
"Pauls Return" and "The Spirit of '76, or the
Coming Woman" last week, was such as to
render it unnecessary to say word to excite
the interest of persons who attended the per-
formances at that time The latter piece has
everywhere met with an enthusiastic recep.
tion and no amateur club in the country Is ca
pable of doing it better justice than our friends
who will repeat it Wednesday night. The qui-
eter character of PauPs return does not de-
tract from its interest in the least.
The active exertions of Miss Peters in afford
ing a series of charming entertainments for
the public, and in securing by that means large
additions to the funds of a benevolent insttu-
ton. deserve the most generous recognition
but aside from any consideration of that kind
the nature of the promised entertainment it.
self will insure as large an audience as City
Hall can hold.

MANAGER MURRAY, we are happy to learn,
has re-engaged Miss Kate Fisher for this week,
and the lady is to appear in number of new
pieces, in all of which she will introduce her
wonderful horse aurora" She has had both
the bad weather and the political excitement
to contend with, yet she has drawn excellent
houses, and this week we predict the theatre
will not hold the crowds who will flo TX to see
her. Tonight she appears in lockwood, which
is sure with the assistance of Mr.. Murray's fine
company to prove success. The splendid
spectacle of The Cataract of the Ganges is un-
derined, and we understand that Manager
Murray intends bringing it out in splendid
style.

THE MISSING LETTERs.-That box of letters
which went from this city to Boston on Mon
day suddenly turned up in the Boston Post
Office Saturday morning. That Office reports
that it went to Chicago, and that the box was
wrongly labelled, and, in order to prove this,
sent a label to the Portland Office, which they
assert was upon the box. The label is marked
"New York" Chicago" Now this is disproved
from the fact that the Postmaster of Chicago
telegraphed to the Postmaster of Portland on
Friday that such box had never been re-
ceived at that office. Moreover, the Portland
Office never had any such labels as the one
sent from Boston, mentioned above. The
probability is the fault was in the Boston
Office, but they do not like to own it,

FILE AND WooDwARD.-The mysterious col.
llquy between Woodward of Pennsylvania
aud Pile of Missouri, reported in our dispatch.
es of Saturday, is explained by the fact that
Woodward had offered a resolution demand
ing an investigation of the conduct of the Mis-
souri, Republicans in their correspondence
with Henderson. What occurred is thus de-
scribed by Washington correspondent:
Pile of Missouri brought his right thumb to
point of contact with his nasal organ and ex-
TENDED his tour fingers. Judge Woodward see
ing the movement demanded to know if the
gentleman from Missouri designed to insult
hun by his cabalStc signs. Amid great ex-
cltement and confusion Pile replied in the neg
atlVe and said he was only ndulging in the
innocent luxury of scratching his own nose.
lGreat laughter) Pile then passed around to
Woodward's seat and offered an explanation.
but the latter declined receiving it, SAVING he
had better make his explanation in the hearing
OF the House, adding, that although preach,
er, your associations, sir have been with black
guards, while mine have been with gentle
men,"
This quarrel is as amusing as the one in Ro-
meo and Juliet between the servants of the
houses of Montague and Capulet:
