PORTLAND THEATRE.-On Monday evening
next the Portland Theatre is to be opened by
a dramatic and burlesque company, among
whom we notice the familiar name of Miss
Jennie Kimball and Mr.. William Scallan.-
Miss Kimbalps ability as burlesque actress,
together with her fine voice as songstress,
were fully displayed when she was here with
the Florence Burlesque Company some time
ago. Mr. Scallan is capital low comedian,
while la petite Corinne, the child wonder, de-
lighted all who saw her. We should judge
from the programme-which embraces, besides
a dramatic and burlesque company, gymnasts,
acrobats pantomimists and minstrels-that it
is rather OF the nature of a varieties company.
We have no fears but that the house will be
crowded too close for comfort

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-An arrangement has
been finally concluded between the Erie and
Atlantic & Great Western railways, by which
the Atlantic & Great Western road, by the di
rect sanction of the courts of the three States
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, is placed
under the control of the Erie railway, thereby
giving the latter complete control of an I'M
broken line between Cincinnati, Cleveland
and New York. The Erie company pays as
other respects the lease is similar to that of
last spring, with the exception that 80 per cent.
shall be applied for the benefit of the bond

AN ANTT-BULLoCK VERSION OF THE DIFFICUL-
TIES.
ATLANTA, Jan. 14-Hon. j. ii. Caldwell,
chairman of the Southern division of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, has written
letter to Hon. j. A. Bingham, giving full ac-
count of the case of the difficulty in organizing
the Georgia legislature. He says the question
dividing the Republican party is not political
and does not involve the rights of any class of
persons as such, but does involve the conscience
of all honest men who work for the interests of
the State against corrupt faction composed
of a few undivided seeking to entrench them
selves in position which will enable them
to deplete the treasury and ruin the credit of
the State.
He pronounces Attorney General Farrow's
opinion, procured at the instance of Gov. Bull
lock, without weight or authority, and says it
was demonstrated against by leading Republi-
can members. The appointment by the Gov
ernor of ore of his employees on the State
road, Harris, to organize the House, was the
next arbitrary step, and in violation of the act
of Congress and the code of the State.

Boston Root and Shoe Market.

DUSIONe
So far we are unable to note any improvement in
our Boot and Shoe market since the commencement
of the present year. The trade may revive to some
close of the MONTH We have some buyers here from
southern and Western cities eXamiDing samples and
pricing Spring goods, but they do little pres
emf. The jobbers busy with their books, endeav-
orpg to ascertain the profits of the last years bust
ness they do not seem to be in haste to increase
stocks. Manufacturers have commenced operations
in cautious manner, preterring evidently to make
up goods as they see the approach of demand, for
with the aid Of the machinery now in use they can
ali large orders in very much shorter time than
formery.-( Shoe and Leather Reporter

SURPRISE PARTY.-The other evening par
ty of about forty ladies and gentlemen of this
city took one of their gentlemen friends COM
pletely by surprise who resides in Westbrook.
They proceeded to the residence of his sister,
who occupies the other half of the double house
with himself, where they attired themselves in
fancy costumes and masks, and then forming
ing in procession marched into his house ac-
companied by several pieces from Chandler
Band. 1t was a complete surprise, and hap
pier, iollier time no party ever had. About IL
o'clock the masks were laid aside and capital
supper served, provided By the maskers, and at
late hour the party babe their host adieu, all
much delighted with the success of their un'

STEAM FUEL.-The advertisement Of Blan'
chard'S Pa, ut Steam Boiler, which We p int
in another column, is calculated to arrest the
attention of all who have to do with steam
power. Mr.. Blanchard, (who is a Maine IN
ventor, by the way, though now residing IN
New York } proposes to attach an improve
ment to any boiler at a moderate expense, by
which the waste heat can be utilized so as to
make saving of one half the fuel. If this
saving can be effected it is safe to say that no
recent invention of so great Importance has
been offered to the public. Our railroads are
extending and our forests are shrinking every
day. The Portland and Kennebec Railroad
Company's engines will soon be driven by
steam generated with coal. Every horse pow
er of steam involves now consumption of ten
tons of coal year, costing on an average S72.
A saving of $36 year on every horsepower
would amount on railroads alone to fabulous
sum. The smallest manufacturing establish
ments use five horse powers, and might save
$3.50 year. The Spragues burn 100" tons of
coal daily in their works in single town in
Rhode Island. At $3.50 a ton, their coal in
these works costs 1925 1850 year. and the saw
ing would amount to SIP $50, which is a for
tune OF itself. IF the invention is half as effec-
tive as it processes TO be, it will make its way,
and those who are wise enough to avail them
selves of it first will gain most by it. 1t will
remove serious difficulty in the employment
OF steam power for long voyages, not only by
reducing the expense of fuel but by leaving
more room for freight and obvating the neces-
sity for frequent coal stations. The ultimate
result will be cheapenipg of the cost of trans
portation and OF manufactures, but at first
somebody will pocket the saving as profits.
The improvement has been fairly tested in our
own harbor for the last five years by Mr.. Will
lard, who signs the advertisement as Mr..
Blauchard's agent, and is thoroughly satisfied
OF the value of the invention There are no
statistics concerning the amount of steam pow
er used in Maine, but at moderate calcula
ton it must exceed ten thousand horse-rowers,
involving consumption of 100000 tons of
coal yearly. In Portland and vicinity it is easy
to reckon up an annual consumption of 40 900
tons, and the remainder of The State will more
than make up the balance. A saving of one
half this fuel, at the low average of 81 ton,
amounts to $35O,000, which is the value of the
invention to the State of Maine for single
year. If any further tests are necessary, here
is margin which certainly invites the most
careful inquiry.

GENERAL SUTroN-We are told that this
gentleman, who represents the committee OF
citizens of the town of Peabody In this city,
was the first one to send aid to our sufferers
after the great fire of 1866. On the morning of
the 9th of July, 1866, man told him in Boston
what had happened in Portland, and the Gen
orai asked him when the train was going to
start for Portland The man said in thirty
minutes. The General managed to have the
train delayed long enough while he loaded a
car with provisions in aid of our sufferers

The people of Portland feel sensitive on ac-

Peabody obsequies.
We take notice of the paragraph only to say
that so far as the people and authorities OF
Portland are concerned, the statement is en-

also the nearest route from Central and Southern

This road is required by the wants of that section
where large and increasing traffic is waiting tor

OF these bonds is therefore, guaranteed by a great
business already in existence and has not to run
any OF the contingencies which always attend upon
the opening OF the roads into new and unsettled
country.
We offer these bonds for the present at 95 and
accrued interest. We recommend them to Inves-
tors and officers of Financial Institutions, who de-
sire to change their high priced investments for
security which presents every element of safety,
and at the same time yields much higher rate Of

MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PUEMIUM is STILL LARGE Gas the
Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil
lions in December) AND REINvEST IN TIE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is achile the Treasury is
buying, and Governments are at premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar. traffic as soon as com
pleted.
1t runs through the great coal fields of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dspensable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of n. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
ly half the amount upon some other roads,
Special security is provided for the principal
and for the payment of interest.
The New York Tribune says 'lhis is a splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal

The New York Lnder endent says, "We know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, SO that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
| State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
| try. We therefore recommend the Central
| Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. Tie truth is, that First Mortgage OF
| $4,000 per mile upon road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than safe"
| First Mortgage Bonds for SO small an amount
