The ladies at City Hall ser away Yesterday
in addition to the materials before forward.
to the West, one case of goods to the Mayor nj
Detroit one to Rev. Robert Collyer, CHICAGO
one to Edward Barbour, same city. and one to
W. ~ snort, Manistee. These were all large
Jokes, crowded as full as possible with good
serViceable clothing, much of it being new
made up by the benevolent ladies' of Portland.
these goods will be properly distributed
among the sufferers by the persons to whom
| they are sent. Mr.. Barbour, who is well-known
as native of Portland, was great sufferer by
the Chicago fire. He lost his business and his
home, and ne and his family saved nothing
| but the clothing they wore and the little
| money in their pockets The box sent to him
| contains supplies for his own immediate
| wants and quantity for distribution.
Reception Room, where these ladies have
| their headquarters, is now ore of the most in
| teresting places in Portland. For ten days
past steady current of relief for the destitute
has flowed from that upper chamber, and in
stead of diminishing its volume appears to
grow larger every day. The Executive Com
mttee met on Monday, the 10th inst, and
spent three days in peIfecting their plans and
preparing work for the large army of workers
that was TO collect on Thursday, W hen the la
Dor began to take shape. And now from fif-
teen to twenty ladies meet there every morn
ing and spend the whole day ia work, bring
ing tier dinners often, and only ceasing work
at nightiall. A perfect system is observed, and
each lady has charge of some department. of
labor. A certain number are employed in
cutting garments, ar oth.r lot prepare it for
giving out; third attend to the selection aud
purchase of materials; others pack the cases
and take account OF their contents. Every ar
tiele manufactured or received is appraised and
he value entered upon the books, and the
work is conducted with as much method and
system as the affairs of merchants counting
room. There's woman's rights exemplified.
We hope the ladies WILL when they have fin
ished their labors, crafty the public with de-
tailed report of their operations. 1t will form
a valuable and interesting part of the city rec
ord ir behalf of the unfortunate.
The ladies have also made their system sub.
serve double purpose of helping some of the
working women of our city and Fastening the
completion of the work. Garments are iur-
nished to sewing women, who make them up
and return them to the rooms, receiving an
agreed price for the work; generally less than
the regular rate, the women contributing the
deficit for the benefit of the fund.
Mr.. George w. Whittier, at the junction of
Congress and Free streets, has also been very
efficient auxiliary to the Ladies' Committee.
His box for penny contributions has yielded a
considerable revenue to the fund, and Mr.. w.
has made his store station for the delivery of
unmade material and reception of finished
garments. For this active benevelence he de-
serves recognition.

THERE is no accounting for tastes, is an old
adage that is iorciby illustrated wbt Il Gotha-
mite refers to the Tammapy ruled, ballot-box
stuffing city of New York as the ideal of !civil-
izaton. Thus dscourseth New York cor
respondent who had been TO the E. & N. A.
railway opening:
Il seems good TO get back TO any kind of CIV
ilz4tion-even to Boston -Boston with it's big
organ and Bunker Hill monulneut-Boston
with it's crackers, brown bread, and its prohibit
tory liquor law. Men here with red noses talk
loudly of temperance. They do not expound
their theories before the Boston bar but away
in behind it-in cubby holes and out-of-the way
places. Regular drinking as we do in New
York is harmless recreation to this Boston
habit of drinking between drinks. This is the
way unused when Mr.. Adams asked me in
behind the Revere House bar-to see the Bos-
tonians drink!

DUPREz & BENEDICT.-The second perform
ance of this favorite company drew another
large audience at City Hall last evening, and
nearly every act on the programme received an
enthusiastic encore. The principal features of
the entertainment were the great burlesque of
the Peace Jubilee, with the Anvil chorus; the
fine ballard singing of Mr.. Charles Haywood,
the double clog by Messrs. Fox and Ward and
the comic singing of Lew Benedict and George
H. Edwards The performance of this com.
pany is far superior to that of the average
travelling companies, and they will always be
heartily welcomed by our citizens. No per

Chicago. The Tribune says:
cit appears that out of the 10000 buildings
in Chicago, only about - 500 have been de-
stroyed, and that while $4,000 persons have
been driven from their homes, over 245,000
have not been affected in that way. The whole
immense area OF the West Division, with its
miles of dwelling houses, its stores and its
business blocks, is almost intact, while the
south side retains the great mass of its dwell
ing houses of the better class, many manufac-
tories and the finest business blocks which
have been erecting on Twenty -second street

of its finest churches, and the inpImerabe

THE LATE SENATOR FEssENDEN.-Monday
we had the pleasure of a private view of bust
of the late Hon. VIM. Pitt Fessenden, which
is being modelled in clay by gentleman nam
ed O'Brien, stranger to Portland, but an ar.
fist of decided talent. The work is being pro
duced entirely from photographs of tee deceas
ed Senator, Mr.. O'Brien having never seen
him, but he has been fortunate in obtaining q
splendid likeness, not only in outline, but in
catching the expression of the man. So accu.
rate is the work that one familiar with Mr.
Fessenjen will be struck at once with the i'm
pressiveness of the figure. Quite number oil
gentlemen of good judgment in art matters
have visited Mr.. O'Brien and speak in the
highest terms of the wonderful fidelity of the
work. The artist has not quite finished the
details, but we hope that when the work is
complete the public may have an opportunity
to see it. Mr. o. Bren has improvised a studio
at Sheridan & Griffith's on South street.
