PORTLAND GERMAN BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
We mentioned some time ago that the Ger
mans resident in this city were about to form
themselves into society for the relief of those
of their own number who might be in need or
suffering, and also to assist needy countrymen
who might be in the city or passing through.
This society has been organized, adopted con-
stltxtion and bylaws, elected officers, and are
new seeking for Headquarters The assoela-
tion numbers about twenty-five members at
present, which will probably be considerably
increased although we have not many Teutonic
citizens. The officers Just elected are Freder-
fek Behrens, President; A. G. schlotterbeck
Vice President; A. Ulmer, Secretary; y. Mat
thias, Treasurer; w. Kirscb, G. Jost and g. i.

FROM CUBA.-An Havana despatch Of the
10Th says:
The volunteers in the neighborhood of Los
Remedies roasted a man alive, first running a
stake through his body. The volunteers were
caught by Spanish officers while engaged in this
act Of cruelty and outrage, which greatly in
censed the people, and many murders on both
sides resulted.
-Four hundred persons mostly negros, who
recently surrendered at Puerto, have returned
to the woods, impeled by hunger. They
thought it preferable to die by Spanish bullets
than from want or small pox, which 10 raging

On Saturday Spanish gunboat left for Mas

TEMPERANCE MEETING.-City Hall was filled
last evening-foor, galleries and platform-and
many were obliged to stand for want of seats.
Cyrus Sturdivant, Esq, presided, and after
prayer and singing he introduced Mr.. Francis
Murphy to the vast audience.
The connection of Mr.. Murphy with the Ia
mentable occurrence at Bradley's Hotel, his
trial, Imprisonment, &c., are well known. His
term of imprisonment has expired, but during
his incarceration in our jail he protested to ex-
perience a change Of heart, and since his liber-
alton has expressed wish to do all the good in
his power to warn his fellow-men OF the dan
gers of intemperance His own experience
and that of his family, was, truly, an affect
ing story. His address last evening occupied
nearly-one hour, and for a first effort before a
publicIaudience was certainly creditable one.
He seemed to speak from the heart and to feel
all the words he uttered. He pointed out the
dangers to which all are exposed, who, though
they may not drink at first, are in the habit of
visiting drinking places with their companions.
1t will be but short timei before they become
drinkers themselves. The laws both against
drunkenness and rumselling he thought should
he strictly administered. without regard to par.
ty or person, but in spirit Of kindness His
experience in keeping bar enabled him to
relate many incidents that came under his OBJ.
.servation.
The address was attentively listened to by
the audience, and at its close the speaker was
applauded. At the suggestion of the chair
man contribution was taken up to aid the
family of Mr.. Murphy, consisting of six young
children, mott of whom were with him on the
platform. A generous sum was collected.
1t was expected that Gen. Neal Dow would
speak, but the hour being so late he thought
1T best to decline. After few vigorous re-
marks from Rev. Mr.. Vibbert of Rockport
Mass, the audience sang the doxology and
were dismissed.
Notice was given that on Sunday evening,
l6.h inst, Rev. Mr.. Vibbert would deliver a
Temp'erance lecture in City Hall.

The Exchange Of Government Bonds.

Inc EXchun8e Oh GOVefmment DOhus'
The Secretary of the Treasury is making
rapid progress in funding the Government six
per cents into bonds bearing from one to two
per cent. lower interest. Since the new loan
was first offered, about fifty million dollars
have been taken in the new five per cents, for
which. IT is to be remembered, either gold or
six per cent. bonds must be paid at par. With
gold at 11Oa111, and 520's at 111o112 it is there
fore evident that purchasers of the new bonds
must virtually pay 10 to IL per cent. premium
for them, and then receive but $50 annual in
terest upon each 81, 600 bond, or an actual re.
turn of but four and half per cent. upon the
capital invested. AH the outstanding Govern-
naent Bonds OiH be similarly retired for ne,o
to'o rate bonds as fast as the time arrives when
the option accrues to the Government.
what, therefore, is the wise plan for holders
OF Government bonds to adopt? Evidently
their interest lies in selling at the present high
prices, and re-investIng the proceeds in other
securities, which are we'll protected and which
pay higher interest But where shall these
secui tiles be found? The most prudent fnan-
ciers consider one OF the best forms Of invest
ment to be First Mortgage Bonds upon finish
Gu railroads, Wnicn are SO IavOraoIy lOcaleu
as to ensure profitable business. Prominent
among the new railroads Of the West is the
CENTRAL RAILROAD OF Iowa, which has been
built across that State to form short line be-
tween st. Louis and ST. Pau, passing through
portion of the Hawkeye State the local tariff
Of which alone is ample for the full employ
ment of the line. The road is now in full oper.
alton and earning largely. Its First Mortgage
Bonds are limited to $4,000 per mile. They
bear seven per cent gold interest, run thirty
years, and are sold at present at 80 and &C
crued interest At this price and rate they
pay nearly eight per cent. gold upon the in.
vestment, or about three and half per cent
more than the new Governments. Their profit
is thus apparent, while their safety is guaran-
teed by the fact that the road has been built;
that it is located in one of the best regions of
the West; that the amount of the mortgage is
very small; and that the Company is compos-
ed of strong capitalists, who must protect their
own large investments in the enterprise. The
agents of the Company will give to all inquir-
ers full information concerning the loan.
