Mr. EDITOR, -Please notify our people that
after being dead and buried, SO far as the pub
lie were concerned for two years and ahalf
and well nigh forgotten, the Portland Society
of Natural History has burst its cerements;
and that at last we have the very evil
dence we have been waiting for so long, to
prove that even two CONGREGATIONS have had
no more effect upon the liue members. than if
they had been fashioned of asbestos, or had al
ready reached that condition where fire itself
cannot harm what is really worth saving
The second part of their new volume is
enough to show THAT the officers of the Ipstitu
ton have been both jealous and faithful.
working literally night and day for a large
portion of the intervening time since tho fire,
without fee or reward, or the hope of reward,
other than that which ever accompanies praise
worthy effort in the cause of education
But if our people would like to be amazed
without cost-let them go up into the third
story of our City Building, enter the large
handsome, and well-lighted rooms of the soci-
ETY., and see for themselves what has been done
for them by few undiscouraged, earnest and
jealous members in secrecy and silence, while
they were asleep. They will find cabinets and
collections which would have been thought
worthy of high praise after the society had
been in existence ten years, and the eoncho-
logical and chronological specimens, so beau
tifully arranged as to satisfy the most unred-
so'aabte expectations-to say nothing of other
departments.
And what then? The society want money;
and must hd0e It, But how? Shall thew 90
upon the high way, with double barreled ex-
postulators and persuaders-w with stand and
deliver, or trusting that 'still in their ashes
live their wonted fires," appeal to the earlier
friends Of the Institution? What say you?
Bear in mind that our people mast be ed,s-
Gated; that after they get through with their
b c's they must educate themselves; and that
if our young ones are to be kept out of mis-
| chief only by giving them something better to
do and that in short if our grey boards do not
help educate them, after they leave school, by
| providing amusement and wholesome instruc-
| ton, they will educate themselves, each in his
own way and at the cost of coming genera
| tons.
With view to what must follow, if these
opportunities are neglected or abused, the
managers intend to throw open their rooms to
the people at large, call public meeting, and
try to stir anew the sluggish pulses that used
to be heard beating aloud in their behalf, with
the regularity Of a six hundred dollar chro-
nometer and the undated strength of ma
chine, which, never running down, never
needs winding up-like the ocean ITSELF

Morten's Amendment 20 the New Recon-
atruCtfO0 Act.

The Democratic papers are vigorously but
professionally attacking the amendment to the
new reconstruction act for the authorship of
which Senator Morton of Indiana is RESPONSE
BILE. That amendment makes the ratification
of the 18th constitutional amendment condi-
ton precedent to the admission to the union OF
the three States of Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas. The Democrats ought to have learned
from an uninterrupted series of events since
1850 that it is useless to resist the ratihcauoH
Of the 10Th amendment. They res'seeo 'no
war, the 18th and 14th amendments, anu Tue
Congressional policy of reconstructon. Inc
sovereign people, declaring their VIII at the
polls. have in each case supported by three or
four different ballots the policy of Congress
and condemned most emphatically that of the
opposing party. But our modern Bourbons
have the old Bourbon trick of learning moth
ing, while they are destitute of the collateral
Bourbon faculty of forgetting nothing, since
they forget everything,
The objection to the Morton amendment is
that it is a new and unprecedented usurpation
Of power for Congress to assume to control
rebel States in the matter of ratifying or re-
fusing to ratify a change in the fundamental
law The answer to the objection is that it is
not fresh assumption of power and that it is
not an unauthorized one. What Intelligent
man can have SO soon forgotten that the very
basis of the rejected johnson scheme of recon-
struction was tae ratification Of the amend
ment abolshing slavery, and that all Of John
sons Democratic allies supported this usurp
ing Executiye-this one man power-in fore
ing by his individual fiat an obnoxious meas
ure upon sovereign States?" Indeed, the
seven States that have been reconstructed
came in after the ratification OF the 14th
amendment in compliance with requirement
Of law Now the establishment of similar
provision for Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
is received with new shrek of horror, as if
not only precedents were lacking but also rea-
son and Justice.
I'm vain, alas, in vain, We gallant few, the
great world win revolve in spite of you, and
changes will come-benefcent changes, max
ing men wiser, more just and more humane.
FAN into the rauks of progress, or be drowned
in the rising foods, as you choose! Old fogy
Conservatism is always sooner or later swal-
lowed up, like the typical Conservative and
reactionist Pharaoh in the Red Sea.

THE SALE OF MMK.-A correspondent says
I wish to inquire if it is not the duty of the
city authorities to appoint milk Inspector
Some of the milkmen say that they will pay
40 attention to the laws, passed by the last
Legislature in regard to the sale of milk. 1
for one prefer to pay eight cents per quart,
wine measure, and get good milk rather than
pay eight cents per quart, beer measure, and
get half -ch Tx and one quarter lime and the
other quarter milk; and think if there is a
milk inspector appointed, it would be for the
benefit of the city,
The first section of Chap. 26 OF the laws of
1869 is as follows:
The mayor and aldermen of cities, anc the
selectmen of towns, may annually appoint one
or more persons to be inspectors of milk, pro-
vded such city or town contain not less than
three thousand inhabitants, who shall, before
entering upon the discharge of the duties of
their Office, be sworn. Each inspector shall
be given notice of his appointment, bv publish
ing the same, two weeks in a newspaper, pub
lshed in his city or town, or if NO newspaper
is published therein, by posting up such no.
tice, in two or more public places in said town.

FREs.-An alarm of fire was sounded from
box 46 on Monday morning, at A Ia o clock
after our forms had gone to press. 1t proved
to be a fire in the rear of barn, near the cor
ner of Spruce and Clark streets, on the prem
Uses owned by Mrs. Phebe Paine, and occupied
by VIM. II. Morse. AS it was surrounded by
wooden buildings, several of them caught fire,
and it was only owing to the extreme efforts
the fremen and the absence of wind that
there was not most destructive confagration.
The barn was totally consumed and the house
occupied by Mr.. Morse was badly damaged.
The other buildings caught on the roofs, bnt
the flames were extinguished before they had
received much injury. We understand the
fire was discovered by policemen Hammond
and Parker, who did great service under di-
rection of Deputy Marshal Perry.
In the afternoon, one of the lady inmates at
Mrs. Waite's boarding house, in Tolman place,
discovered smoke in room in the second story
Of the house. An investigation revealed that
quilt in the closet of the room was on fire.
The fire was extinguished without creating an
alarm, though word was sent to the Machi-
gonne Engine house to be in readiness if need
ed. How the quilt happened to take fire is not
known. The room had not been occupied for
two weeks. Had this occurred in the night
much damage would have been done.
About IL o'clock in the evening fire was
discovered in the upper story of the large three
story brick building on franklin street, occu-
pied by the Portland Packing Company, a cor
poration which puts up meats, fish and vegeta-
bles in Theoretically sealed cans. An alarm
was Immediately given, but the flames gather
ed Roadway and the fire was not extinguished
until the attic and upper story had been de-
stroyed The rest of the building was not hurt
except by water. There was large amount
of canned goods, valued at $40, 900, we are told,
stored in the building, which was badly dam
aged. The room where the fire originated is
used as the workshop for the manufacture of
the cans. How the fire took is not known
The loss was not estimated last evening, but
we were told there was insurance on the prop
erty amounting to $4,000, which would proba-
bly, cover all The partners in the Portland
Packing Co. are w. G.. Davis, James Baxter
and Samuel Rumery.
