GREAT SLAUGHTER OF THE MILITARY AT
BATH.-From the Bath Times we learn that
the visit of the Light Infantry to Bath was an
event of great local Importance. The Times
reporter speaks in most fattering terms of the
whole affair. In regard to the ball we read the
following rather startling paragraph:
On every hand was to be seen beautiful faces
and elegant toiettes. Costly Jewels wed in
brlllancy with flashing eyes. With the fair
ones brass buttons were in the ascendancy,
of partners. "They are such good looking
men," said one pouting beauty, shat why
shouldn't they have our preferences" "They
have captured my heart" said another, and
she followed the remark by bestowlng her
fondest smile upon a gallant officer, who re-
turned the look with military salute But to
attempt to describe the scene is useless. 1t
was one of unalloyed pleasure and dazzling
beauty, and it was not strange that so many
"bould soger boys'' went down before the hal.
teres Of Baths loviiest daughters, n sav l
standing they stood up bravely before their at
tacks.
The Infantry returned to this city at 2 -
p. M. yesterday and presented most soldier
ly bearing as they marched down Congress
street to their arnory to the music of their
drum corps. They numbered forty -four rank
and file, and were commanded by Capt Mat
tocks and Lieuts. Webster and Reeves. In the
rear of the company we noticed two "bum-
mers'' with hats that looked as if they had
been slept in. We understand that the police
of Augusta and Bath have kept sharp on
these said "bummers" during the trip of the
Infantry, several of whom were prepared to
swear that they had seen one in Jail in Port
1an nd and "a for the othar ypbu Uh;r1s Of a
feather" you know.
We are glad to hear that the company have
had such a good time despite the storm, and
that they have upheld SO we'll the credit of the
city in their absence.

l.. M. MUTT AND OTHERS of Pembroke are
petitioning the Legislature for an amendment
to the constitution that shall permit women
to vote. This is the first evidence of any in
terest on this subject that we haze recently
seen in Maine. All the other New England
States are now far in advance of us on this
question, though Maine seemed to lead in the
start. One reason for this is that so few
prominent men residing here have openly
expressed an interest in the subject, though
many have privately declared themselves ia
vorably disposed toward the reform. Anoth-
er reason is that the woman suffrage agitators
nave seemed to regard Maine as beyond the
field of their efforts, and have done no mis-

GOLD INVESTMENTS incopveniences to
investors arising from the fluctuations in the
value of the currency appear to be well under
stood by the promoters of our new railroad en-
terprises. In many instances the bonds of the
new roads are made payable, principal and in
terest, in gold; which has the very important
advantage of enabling the holders to ascertain
precisely the vo'ua of the income he ia tn de-
rive from his investment. In another column
will be found full particulars of loan of this
character, issued by the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Minnesota Railroad Co., which de-
serves the attention of investors, not only for
this partiular feature, but for the general
merits of the enterprise. A large portion OF
the road has already been built, and is now
earning the interest upon It's debt. Upon the
sections to be built no bonds are issued until
the road has been put in running condition.
The line has the further advantage, that in
stead of running through wild country and
having to depend upon commerce which it.
self creates, its route is through we'll settled
region, needing road for the transportation of
its products.
