field, the establishment of the con -fraternities

The Power of Preiudice

There is a well known London physician
who has the greatest possible aversion TO
smoking. He is medical referee to two lie
insurance companies, and a gentleman who
applied to him for inspection little while
ago. came away much depressed because his
life" had been rejected The matter wfs
a serious one, inasmuch as the appli-
cant was a professional man, with large
income, that would die with him, AMI he
was the father of a numerous fam
lily. He made known his grief to a med
cal friend, who thoroughly examined him
and pronounced him sound as bell
"Whom did you see?" said the friend. "Dr
:" replied the applicant. sob, I see
and he asked you whether you smoked"
Yes" swell. DR.. - is referee for anoth
er oftlce; apply to be insured there. Dr.
never recognizes faces; he won't know you;
anu when he asks you if you smoke, you
NEEDN'T tell fb, but you can put him off in
some way" The applicant appeared Sec
ond time before DR.. =, who did not in the
least recognize him. At the end of the ex-
animation Dr. - said: 'EDo you smoke 2"
Its filthy, disgusting habit" replied the
applicant. Il have great pleasure in recon-
needing you as a perfectly sound and healthy
nfe, said DR. to the applicant, whom a
fortnight before he had refused to pass.

cortland and Osdensburs Railroad
Meeting,

At the meeting, which is to be held this
evening at City Hall, and over which the
Hon. John B. Brown will preside, it is I'M
derstood addresses will be made by Israel

c. P. KimbaIl, T. G. Hersey, Neal Dow,
Geo. w. Woodman, VIM. l.. Putnam, Geo.
f. Shepley and others of this city; by Hon.
Chas. j. Gilman of Brunswick, Hon, David

county, Vermont; and it is hoped, by Hon.
John G.. Sinclair, Geo. A. Bingham and
Ossian Ray, Esqs. of New Hampshire. The
galleries will be reserved for ladies and gen
tlemen accompanying ladies.
The call which we published yesterday
morning, with its hundreds of signatures
shows that our citizens are anxious for exact
information respecting the condition and
prospects of this enterprise. 1t is a settled
fact thas the harvests of the West will only
take land carriage from the eastern terminus
oflake navigation. These harvests are now
shipped mainly from New York because New
York is nearer Lake Erie than Boston. A ship
canal around Niagara falls will make Lake
Ontario the great receiving basin instead Of
Lake Erie. Ogdensburg will become as i'm
portant point as Buffalo has long been. By
the Notch route Portland is 81 miles near
er Ogdensburg than Boston. Judge Rich
ardson of Mo ltpelier, in his remarks here last
Wednesday, said frankly that the people Of
Montpelier preferred the Wells river to the
Notch route because by the latter they were
compelled to come to Portland" while they
wanted new route no Boston to compete
with the Central for their business. That is
1.-The advantage which the Notch route has over
every other; it conapels business to come to
Portland.
Can it be built? That is the only question
which remains to be settled. If it can, we
want it. How much will it cost? What
grades are to be encountered? What assist
ance is to be expected along the line? These
questions have been partially answered here
tofore, but the full and authoritative explana-
ton is to come Tonight, and to that explana-
ton the attention OF the people of Portland
is seriously invited When we are in possess
ion of the facts we shall be prepared to judge
whether the prize is within our reach.

Our NEW PUBLIC BULDINGs.-A matter
OF great interest to our readers everywhere is
the erection of the two splendid government
buildings in our city that WILL ere another
year has passed, be in such state of forward
ness as to attract much atteption and rank
am ong the first of our many costly and beau
tful structures. The Post Office and Court
Room, going up on the lot owned by the Uni
tie States fronting on Exchange, Middle and
Market. streets, is to be first class fire-proof
building of brick and iron, the exterior of mar
bic. 1t will have a total frontage of fifty nine
and half feet ON Middle street and depth
of 128 including the portico. 1t will be three
stories high with basement under the entire
building. .=.--
The Gus tom-house on Commercial street
will also be a first class fre-proof structure
of brick and iron, and the exterior of granite.
1t is being erected on the block owned by the
United States fronting on Commercial, Gus
tom House, Fore and Pearl streets. 1t will
have a frontage of So feet ON Commercial street.
a depth of 100 feet, and will be three stories
high on Commercial and two stories and a
base on Fore street; the ground rising
from the former to the latter. The building is
to be surrounded by areas ON all sides save
Commercial street.
During the convocation of Masons in this
city next week, the Grand Lodge of Maine
will lay the corner stones of these public
buildings and the ceremonies will take place
on Wednesday forenoon. 1t is expected that
there will be one of the finest Masonic dis
plays that has never occurred in this State
The escort on the occasion of laying the cor
ner stones will be furnished by the Portland
and St. Adams Communicates Joined by
such visiting Sir knights as may volunteer
for the purpose.
1t is understood that the ceremonies dedica-
ting the public buildings are in accordance
with the wish of the United States authorities,
and we have no doubt the display will be fully
equal TO the Importance OF the occasion. Our
citizens cannot fail to take pride in the beauty
and soidity of the permanent buildings in our
midst; and it is gratifying to see the immense
care that is taken in the finish of even the
plainest work upon them.

MORE TESTIMONY ABOUT GRANTS HABITS

MORE TESTIMONY ABOUT GRANTS HABITS
Who would have supposed after Vicksburg, or
Chattanooga, or Richmond, that within five
years the hero of those great achievements
would have been attacked and slandered,
falsely and without even shadow of cause,
by partisan hate that does not stop to consider
how much we all owe to him whose skill and
courage gave us united country The
charge of intemperance has been refuted
often enough, but the following extract from
the National Temperance Advocate, the official
organ of the temperance people of the country,
ought to set the matter forever at rest:
Having thoroughly investigated the matter
we give it as our deliberate opinion that Gen
Grant does not now drink-that is, anything
alcoholic. The Hon. VIM. e. Dodge, Presi-
dent of the National Temperance Society,"
than whom no one can be more hostile to
everything approaching Incorporate habits in
public man, has been to Washington, recent
~ While there, in company with General
Howard, he had long interview with General
Grant. The conversation was candid, straight
forward, and ingenious; and though it would
not be right to repeat all that was said, Mr..
Dodge has reported to us enough to convince
US that no friend of tempera nee need have
any cause for anxiety as to the temperance
principles of Gen. Grant.

SHOCKING is the lack of decorum and even
decency on the part of the Impeachment man
ayers, say the Democratic papers. We do not
breaches of good manners ON the part of the
Presidents counsel They let Nelson, the old
Tennessee war-horse, breathe out threatenings
and slaughter against Butler without rebuke
That gentleman is in special and peculiar
sense the Presidents counsel. He has all the
infrmities of temper which are the usual char
acteristics of Tennessee politicians. When
charged with threatening to fight duel with
Butler, he at once owns the soft impeachment
without apology or expression or regret. Even
Mr.. Evarts, that very pink of professional
courtesy, is beginning to show the effects of
accidental Democratic associations. On Thurs
day, he defended the Presidents circle
speeches on the singular ground that the i'm
parchment managers had not always been
strictly observant of the prophecies, and quot
ed from debate in which Bingham spoke of
Butler as man who lived in a bottle and
was fed with SPOON" and Butler replied by
accusing Bingham of numbering Mrs. Surratt
This was not very lofty legal ground to be
taken by such prodigious lawyer as Evarts
is said to be. Washington correspondents
differ widely in their descriptions of the effect
of this rehearsal upon the honora BILE managers
One says they both laughed, two others that
they both looked glum, and the fourth that
they severally INDUCED in smiles or 1rowns,
according as the one or the other was salts
fed -

CAPITAL PUNIHsMENT IN ENLGANp.-Some
good things happen in England under laws
authorizing the execution of criminals as
well as in the Kingdom of New Jersey,
where they hang idiots and women. Four
executions took place in England during the
first week in April. One woman, who was
condemned for the murder of her stepdaught-
er, went into Mysteries and the wardens were
obliged to support her to the drop, where
she was hanged without delay. Another exc
cution was attended by twenty thousand
spectators, who are said to have been "order-
ly and decorous during the tinel scene''

MRS. BLooMER.-The Council Bluffs (Iowa)
Nonpareil says: "There is a story going the
rounds of the papers stating that Mrs. Bloomer
is lecturing and giving public readings to the
Mormous in Salt Lake City. This statement
is without foundation in truth. Mrs. Bloomer
is a resident of this city, and has been for
dozen years and over; and has never been
nearer Salt Lake City than the Missouri Riv-
er. She is not in the lecturing feld-has not
spoken in public for many years, except in one
lecture called out by our people over year
ago."

MTRGINAL RAILwAYs.-We cut the follow
ing short essay on the advantage of marginal
railways from yesterdays Boston Advertiser:
Western shippers are finding that our down
east neighbor, Portland, has better facilities at
tide-water than Boston, and contracts have re-
from Chicago to Portland by the way of the
Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain railroad and
Newmarket junction, thus leaving Boston
"out in the cold" Our merchants can draw a
useful moral from this little item.

the hands of Deputies Wentworth and Irish,

meet, and then went ON board the inward
bound train and found the parties they were
after. They were brought to the city and con-
fined in the lookup. Officers from Bangor
