IT is to be hoped that it was an "opposi-
ton paper which published the statement
that during the past week thieves had infest-
ed the trains on a certain railroad terminal
ing in Washington. But even an opposition
editor should not forget thas the number OF
Democrats in the present Congress is nearly
double that of any preceding one for some
time, and possibly some bigot of radical
may imagine that this fact alone accounts for
the sudden manifestations on the trains in

territory on the Red River of the North, to ex-
tend from Minnesota to Montana, and from the
forty-sixth to the forty-ninth degree of north

expenses. The residue and the larger portion
of the required funds will be secured by pri-
vate subscription. We do not think this pro-
posed action need make suggestion to any
mind, of municipal aid to manufac-
lures. The special service had in view,
and outlined above, is rather in the nature of
general advertisement of our city, than of any
thing else, and under the circumstances of our
industrial condition appears entirely legitimate.
1t is very doubtful, indeed, if public resource
will ever need to be applied to the direct foster
ing of special manufacturing enterprises in
Portland. Should the emergency, however, ever
arise that million of dollars, for example, adj
vanced by the city would secure the investment
of five millions, or such q matter, of new capt.
tai, then the question of municipal aid would
! come up for discussion practical concern.
| At present it is mere abstraction. Our crcum-
| stances are very unlike those of towns possessed
of immense water-power whose development
| requires large outlay. With such towns NUM-
cipal aid oftentimes Is vital and imperative
! issue,
We can, in conclusion, but express the de-
cided conviction that if the work in hand be
prosecuted with energy, manufacturers can be
| drawn hither with their money, their Skill and
! their markets.

THE TESTIMONIAL TO MINISTER WASHBURNE.
The Tribuqae's Paris correspondent gives the
following account of the presentation of a ser
vice of plate to the American Minister:
On Thursday evening, the I'd of November a
handsome service of plate was presented to Mr.
Washburne at his private residence in the Av-
enue de PImperatrice, or Avenue Uhrlch, as 1T
is now called This testimonial was offered to
him in recognition of his great services, not
only to American citizens, but to all who had
the slightest claim on his protection during the
Prussian siege of Paris and the two months of
the reign of the Commune. The testimonial was
manufactured by Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of
New York, and consists of 213 pieces, forming
a complete dinner and breakfast service, valued
at $4,000. On large silver plateau forming
part of the service was the following inscrip-
tion:-"Presented to His EXcellency Elihu B.
Washburne, Minister of the United States, by
his countrymen in Paris, as a token of their ap-
probation Of his distinguished services during
the war of 1770-71." A select party of Ameri-
cans resident in Paris met to formally present
Mr.. Washburne with this well-earned tribute
to his merits, but there were no speeches, as
Mr.. Washburnes acceptance of the gift had
been already obtained.
1t is not necessary to speak here of the energy
and care with which Mr.. Washburne fulfilled
his duties, but it may be worth while to mem
ton that, during the war, Minister Washburne
issued more than 10000 passports to Germans
tney having Deen put under MS protection.
Even natives of Colombia and Mexico, and
some unfortunate Japanese, also received pro-
lection from Mr.. Washburne. During the
reign of the Commune our Minister'S duties
were, if possible, more arduous than when the
Prussians were besieging the city. No one was
responsible, and no one thought fit to obey any
one else. l believe the unfortunate Paschal
Grousset, the Foreign Minister of the Com
mune, really did what he could to protect the
property of foreigners, but he had the greatest
difficulty in getting his orders obeyed. Mr.
Washburne told me he had over 400 apartments
full of furniture, pictures, &c, to the value of
many millions OF francs, and for the most part
second siege. THANK God, it is over,' he
said, 'and not one apartment of an American
has been pillaged Mr.. Washburne's strenuous,
though unavailing, efforts to save the Arch
bishop of Paris are well known. l have not
heard when the English residents in Paris in
tend to present the porter at the British EN-
bassy-their only protector during the siege
with q testimonial.

FIsK's Mrs. MANsFIELD-The developments
in the course of the legal investigation OF the
rola+ions between Jim Fisk and the celebrated
Mrs. Mansfield, at YorkviHe, Saturday, were
not so startling as have been represented by tel
egraph. Fisls counsel subjected the woman
to a cross-examnation of three hours duration
without eliciting much that would show her 10
be a disreputable character. 1t appears that
she was born in Boston about twenty years
ago When she was sixteen she went to Cali
fornia, where she married man named Labor.
She afterwards came to New York with her hus-
band. She afterwards went to Albany and sep
arated from Labor in 1866. She tried to obtain
divorce in Boston, but being unsuccessful went
to live with her husband in Philadelphia until
he ran away with another woman, when she re-
turned to New York and obtained divorce
Her intimacy with Fisk seems to be of recent
| date The following is the New York HeTdtds
| description of Mrs. Mansfield's appearance:
Mr.. Mansfield looked so lovely that she Great
ed quite flutter in court by her appeaaail re-
| is now well known from Maine to Oregon from
her connections from Mark Anthony Fisk and
Octavius Caesar Stokes. She is much above the
medium height, having pearly white siln,
| dark and very large lustrous eyes, which, when
directed at a Judge, jury or witness have terri
| bic effect Her delicate white hands were en-
cased in faultless lavendar kid gloves, and over
her magnificent tournure of dark hair was
perched a jaunty little Alpine hat with dainty
green feather perched therein. Her robe was
of the heaviest black silk cut q la Imperatrice,
and having deep fiounces of the heaviest black
| lace over Milanaise bands of white satin. AT
her snowy throat the only article of jewelry on
her person, smald pin glistened and height
| ened the effect. Her hair was worn a la Cleo
| patre, and a superb black velvet mantle covered
| her shoulders. Sitting there this superb woman
was the representation of GOODNESS and PROUD
disdain as She looked every now and then witt
fiery glances of contempt at the agonized Fish
and his cross-examiner, Charley Spencer, who
made every endeavor to badger the fair witness
during long three hours examination, which
would have tested the patience of a saint, but
which never ruffied or discomposed the serenity

THE TASK UNDERTAKEN.


Your memoralists further and in the second
place represent, That the task undertaken by
this Board will require no little of energetic
and persistent labor. Portland has hitherto
been known almost exclusively as CONNER
cal or trading mart To enforce upon the
mind of men of means and of manufacturers
and artisans elsewhere residents, that natural
conditions and favoring municipal policy now
conspIre to make it a great naanuftcturinq CEN
ter also, is the duty before u.s. This duty will re-
quire the collection, the statement, the repeti-
ton of facts To ascertain what property is now
specially available for manufacturing purposes.
such as well-situated vacant lots, unoccupied
buildings, halls, chambers and lofts; to learn
the views of their proprietors as to the use
thereof with power adequate for required pur-
poses, and as to cooperation for their improve
ment; to prepare and put on record a lucid
statement OF such information; to diffuse it
widely when secured, by circular and newspa-
per; to attend to correspondence; to arrange
with interested parties from the outside for a
visit to our city and an inspection of its facili-
ties; TO lay before our own public such PROPOSE
tions as may be made for Investment here; to
secure by special personal interview the interest
and cooperation of our own citizens in propos-
ed enterprises; and above all to set forth with |
iteration and reiteration the natural and artifi-
cial advantages of this locality for successful
industry, and by all available means of agita-
ton and reminder to associate the name of |
Portland with manufactures, so that whoever |
In this line thinks to move his place. to enlarge |
or change his business, will feel obliged to in
vestigate at Portland before settling elsewhere |
1hls is the great end to be attained.
THE CITY ASKED TO HELP.
, In reaching this object the Board of Manu-
iacIufes propose to do, individually what they
can. But 1t is obvious that the whole time and
service of at least one person will be necessary
to carry out the details of SO varied a labor. II
seems entirely just that part of the expense of
securing competent person to take charge of
5he proposed work, and part of the necessary
Incidental outlay, should be borne by the same
general public who will be benefited in proper
ion as success is obtained; the rich and the
Door alike, both those who have property to
ell, and those who have only their labor to
ell, and to whom it is of the highest conse
uence that they be able to sell that labor We
SIX, accordingly, the passage of the order an

- Tree planting in Nebraska is pros
ecuted at lively rate. One day sixteen
thousand young trees passed over sim
gle line of railroad. A company of
Swedes had contracted for twelve thous-
and cottonwoods to set out on their farms.
This tree planting is now a regular rou-
tine of agricultural settlements, and can
not fail to produce the most beneficial eff
tects upon the climate and productive
power of that young State.
Mr. H. B. Clafflin, senior partner in
the great New York house of H. B. Olaf
lin d Co., has started on tour through
the Southern States. When the wal
broke out he had debts aggregating over
a million dollars due him in that section.
At the restoration of peace lie told the
Southern merchants to make their own
terms as to paying up. The result is
that his Southern trade is more extensive
and lucrative than ever. 1t is said that
this one house does more business than
all the dry goods houses of New York
put together did 80 years ago.
