Navy Yard will demonstrate against the 20 per

in consequence of the decision of Attorney
General Hoar that proper construction of
the eight hour law gives to the EMPLOYEES of
the government only eight tenths of the nav of
persons employed elsewhere on similar kinds
of work 1t will be remembered that Mr. Ey-

The PORTLAND PENSION OFFICE.-The COM
mendation bestowed upon the United States
Pension Agent in this city in the following
article from the Biddeford Journal is richly
deserved:
There are few buster places than the pension
once at Portland during the months of March
and september and If there is any place where
business is transacted with more precision ae-
curacy, unfailing courtesy and prompt dis
patch than there, we have got to learn the
name of the place.
Since the appointment of M. A. Blanchard,
ESQ, as a pension agent, it has become a gem
uine pleasure to do business with the office.
He has proved himself a model business man.
and from the day he took charge of the Office
until now, he has SC conducted its affairs as to
extort praise from everybody having occasion
aware of the amount of business transacted at
large agency, and still less of the innumera-
BILE humber who transact it.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid
out annually to invalid soldiers, widows or
phans and mothers. The amount paid ont tn
involves vast amount of writing and the ut
most care. With the rooms thronged day af-
ter day, each one anxious, and many clamor-
GUS to be served first it takes no little skill so
to attend to each that he thinks himself a
special favorite. But we incline to the opin
ion that Mr.. Blanchard leaves the impression
upon the minds of most of those who leave his
Office that their cases have received his earliest
attention-in short, that they have been at
tended to first. And in addition to this he has
the happy faculty Of keeping sweet" No
amount of needless questioning, no extra
trouble, and not even the innumerable mis-
takes oecasioned by the ignorance or haste Of
persons who send vouchers to the Office, have
yet caused him to grow sour. The milk OF
his nature never curdles. He is faithful, eff
ficent, prompt and courteous public officer
and deserves the reputation he now enjoys, by
reason of having earned it.

The MISSION OF THE FAIRIKs.-Ths little
play, in rehearsal for the 22nd, of April by
members of the First Univsrsaist Sabbath
School bids fair to be one of the most pleas
ant entertainments ever presented in our city.
To the original plot as printed, some addi-
tions have been made in. the way of sprightly
songs, tableaux sc, which will materially add
to the beauty of what was already most sx
ceilent in its design and execution. In our
cnangeable and samswhat Arctic weather,
there is possibility that April may bring
nights too damp and chilly for Fairy
gamoois' OUT Tor the sake of the "home Fai-
res VINO are interested in this exhibition, we
hope that the evening may be propitious for
Tily and Pipkin to welcome to their court

MUsIcAL.-At the second rehearsal of the
Creation last Wednesday evening, the number
attending had SO much increased that the hall
over the Reception Room was not large
enough to afford sufficient accommodations for
all who wished to take part in the performance
of the grand Oratorio. There were two hun
dred present, and all could not be we'll seated,
The Executive Committee, in order to have
ample room and verge enough, have engaged
Congress Hall, where the rehearsal next
Wednesday evening will take place, and the
singers will govern themselves accordingly.
We think the Committee have acted wisely in
making this change. 1t is very desirable that
all who intend to help along this musical en-
terprise should be present next Wednesday
evening. This music is great study and re-
quires much practice in order to correct
performance; therefore those who wish to Join
should have the benefit of the rehearsals, and
not come in at the eleventh hour. We hope
to see in the neighborhood of three hundred
present next Wednesday evening. Gilmore
must look to his laurels. True, we don't ex-
pect to make SO much music as our Boston
friends, but then we may make quite as good
music. A letter has been received informing
us that Madame Parepa- a-Rosa is now in New
York, having much improved in health She
will not sing anywhere at present, bui expecst
to be with us some time next week. B,

A NEW CoNGREGATIoNAL CHURcH.-On
Sunday the 21st of March a Welsh Congrega-
tional Church was organized on the camp
ground, Cape Elizabeth, by the Rev. r. b
Jones of Utica, New York The number Of
members is thirty five eight of whom were
converted during the past two months. Mr.
Jones has been here for two Sabbaths during
which time he delivered two lectures, one in
Welsh on "Roger Williams, and his Times .
the Reverend gentleman making some very
excellent remarks on liberation as allowed in
this great and free country without dictation
or interference from civil or ecclesiastical au-
thorities His second lecture was in English,
the subjects being, Glove, Courtship and
Marriage, The principal point dwelt upon
were the origin, design, influences and attrac-
tions of home, the mutual relation of husbands
and wives, parents and children, brothers and
sisters, and the means to be used in order to
render home truly happy &c. These means
consisted in keeping Satan out of our homes
and in inviting and welcoming the Saviour to
enter and dwell within them. This excellent
lecture received marked attention from those
who were privileged TO hear it. We hope that
our good brother may repeat it many times in
different localities again. ROLLING MILLS.
