A NEW SUMMER STEAMBOAT RoUTE.-Mr
Thomas Symonds of this city has contracted
for the building of a neat and staunch steam
boat to lun from the foot of Sebago Lake to the
head of Long Pond, on the route of the old
steamer Fawn," so well remembered by ma
ny of our citizens. 1t is to be a propeller, six
ty feet long with twelve feet beam and is a
model of swiftness and strength. 1t is propos-
ed to have the steamer ready for the route
by the middle of June, which will be in abun-
dant season for the opening of the summer
travel. Connecting with the steamer will be
stages to, all points desired to reach from any
of the landings, while on this end of the route
close connection will be made with the Port
land and Rochester road at Gorham. The ves-
sci is being built at Gorham, a few miles below
Chadbourne's Landing" by the Messrs. De-
guio of Portland and the boiler and engine are
being constructed by Messrs. Chas. Staples &
Son. To all the travelling public and to the
community at large this enterprise is impor-
tant.in many regards, while it will be an espe-
cial delight to every lover OF the rarely beauti-
full scenery of this magnificent chain of lakes,
and we hope Mr.. Symonds will be literally
aided by our own citizens as he has by the
public spirited gentlemen on the other end Of
the route and all along the whole line.

A CURIOUS BIT OF HISTORY Tho Edin-
burgh Review publishes two letters, not here
tolore printed, written by Madame de Lafayette
to George Washington, one in October 8, 1892,
and the other in March, 1898. These letters
consist of most fervent appeals to Washington
in behalf oil the lady's husband who had at the
time been overborne by the madness of the
revolutionary spirit in France and was in pris-
on, while the writer herself with the children
was under military surveillance. She appeals
to Washington in the name of friendship, and
refers to the aid that her husband gave to the
patriots of 1776. Tho Review says that it is
not known that Washington ever paid the
slightest attention to these letters, but in the
absence of any proof that he did not respond
his countrymen will hardly be prepared to be-
lieve that he was guilty of so ungenerous an
action.

ANOTHER REPORT ON THE PACIFIC RAIL
RoAD.-C. ii. Snow, one of the Government
directors of the Union Pacific Railroad, has
made report to the Government which goes
even beyond the two previously made in de-
nouncing the unsatisfactory manner in which
the work has been performed. According to
Mr.. Snow every conceivable form of incompe-
tsncy, careIessness, recklessness aid extrava-
gance has been the accompaniment of the cor
ruption and plundering of the capitalists who
have obtained the entire control of the enter
prise and of the funds belonging to it. The
construction has net anywhere followed
the requirements of the Government board
that sometime since fixed standard of excel
lence that was to be reachi d before the pay
ment of the Government subsidies. These re-
quirements have been entirely ignored by the
government commissioners themselves, who
have accepted section after section of the road
without the proper cnlverts, without ballast,
without adequate equipment, and with heavier
grades and sharper curves than any other good
road in the country. As for the mismanage-
ment Mr.. Snow can hardly find language ade-
quate to express his Indignation. The general
superintendent knows nothing himself, and
has made it the basis of all his appointments
that no one shall know more than himself
With the misappropriation OF the funds by the
directors, who are at the same time stockhold-
ers, trustees OF the bondholders and contrac-
tors, the public has already been made familiar
by the late judicial proceedings in New York.

SOME NEW MUNICIPAL REGULATIoNs.-The
Police visited the Billiard room proprietors
last Saturday evening and requested them to
close their places at o'clock P. M. This
morning an order was issued fixing the time
OF closing at 10 instead of 6, which is in accord
ance with the new ordinance.
We1earn, ALSO that it is seriously proposed
to punish all persons guilty of being intoxicat-
ed upon the streets or in any public places
though they may not be disorderly to the ex-
tent of making public disturbance. We
think this is more in the right direction and
have not the slightest doubt that sound prohi
bitory policy demands that notice should be
taken of the results as the alleged causes of
drinking strong beverages

A RHINocEiRos AT LARGE.-A few days ago
rhinoceros belonging to travelling menage-
rie, while at Carmel Putnam County, New
York, got away, and seeing convenient pond
it concluded to try bath. The animal cost
about $40, 600, and the keepers were aghast at
the prospect of losing that sum in the person
of the huge and intractable beast The dog
" Jack" OF the menagerie was sent into the wa
ter after the monster. The rhinoceros imme-
diately disappeared under the water and
remaiued some time, but finally came up some
distance off. The dog Immediately made for
him, and he for the dog The dog lodged and
got the rhinoceros by the ear A sharp wran-
gle ensued, the rhinoceros believing like a
bull calf. For many minutes the combat ragged
furously, till finally the huge beast neared the
shore, where he was shared with ropes and led
ba ok to his cage.
