THE PORTLAND COMPANY.-We loitered foI
a half hour yesterday in the shops of this cor
potation, and were agreeably surprised to ind
so much activity here while business generally
in the country is SO depressed. The company
is now employing full complement of $50
men, and every department is crowded with
work, the gangs frequently working over
hours. Among the contracts for locomotives
now on hand are one for the Portland and
Rochester railroad, which will be out in about
three weeks; and two for the Midland Railway
Canada, one of which is nearly completed. A
foe engine for the European and North
American road was delivered yesterday, and a
few days ago one was sent to Canada. Other
contracts of the same nature are in prospect at
an early day. Several engines belonging to
the Maine Central road are in the shop being
changed from the broad to the narrow guage
In car work there is an order for platform and
box cars for a road in South America; fat bsx
and baggage cars for the Bangor and Piscata-
quis road; fiat cars for Berlin Mills Co.. %
dump cars for Boston contractors; and box and
platform cars for the Portland and Ogdens-
burg road. The company is also putting pow
erful machinery il to new excavator for Cur
tbs, Fobes & Co., of this city, who have gov
ernment contract for dredging in this harbor.
New machines for the Portland Rolling Mills,
for manufacturing steel-facediIails are also in
process of construction. There has been also
this season great deal of steamboat repair
work for the different Portland lines; as we'll
as good demand for miscellaneous job work
The monthly pay roll of the company keeps
considerable money in circulation, and the in
dications are that the present year will be a
profitable one for the stockholders

A FINE PICTURE.-The passer-by Schumach-
er's window finds his attention attracted by a
small cabinet picture by Miss Haley that is
highly creditable to the artist. The scene rep
resented is landscape, belonging to no partic-
ular locality, but possessing all the beauty that
Imagination can impart to the painters brush.
On the right high bank diversified with large
elms, through whose dense foliage the beams
of the sun penetrating cast deep shadows upon
the velvet turf beneath. The bank slopes
gracefully to the waters edge, except at one
point, where narrow strip of land runs out
into the placid waters of beautiful lake, whose
mirror-like surface is here and there dotted
with the broad green leaves of the water. lily.
On this narrow point a group is assembled
evidently wrapt in admiration at the charming
scene spread out before them. On the left OF
the picture is small island, from the centre
of which rises a clump of trees, while in the
perspective the land gradually melts away in
successive chains of mountains, the final range
hardly perceptible in the distance each and all
delicately yelled by that faint blue mist SO Pc
culiar to lake and mountain scenery. 1t is a
charming midsummer landscape full of quiet
beauty, and although the fair artist makes
fruit pieces her speciality we envy the owner
of this representative picture that might per
tain to many OF our New England lakes, and
trust it will not be the last of Miss Haley's
efforts in this direction.

Butler in its way, but the Transcript says the

the people of this Commonwealth have never
evinced much confidence in Gen Butler
They may have consented to use him for GER
tain ends, but all the time, there has existed an
instructive feeling that he would be true to

not been weakened by the Congressional ca
