mail car is now in process of construc-
ton at the railroad companys works in this
city, which for style of finish, size and gen.
eral workmanship, will surpass any article of
the kind in the rolling stock line ever put
upon the Portland 4 Kennebec road. The
car is 60 feet long, 10 wide, and 0 high in the
centre, with monitor top. The inside work
is brown ash, which is oiled, presenting a
rich and neat appearance. There are three
divisions, making ample room for the United
States mail, express and baggage. In the
mail department the sheating is of brown
ash, doors of cherry, and trimmings of doors,
windows, apartments for mail matter, &c., of
rope moulding. The top is to be painted
light blue color. Uncle Sans officials should
be proud of such beautiful and comfortable
home while they are on the road This room
is completely sheltered from the weather,
there being an enclosed entrance to it from
one side. The apartment for the express
business is neat and convenient, while the
baggage room is in every way fitted for the
purpose to which it is constructed. This car
is now receiving the finishing touches in the
paint shop, and will be put upon the road
early in April. Messrs. Trussell, Haskell
and Hill, the superintendent of the different
departments of the works, can certainly de-
sire no better evidence than this finished car
presents of their skill as master workmen.

are ofteper the victims Of misplaced conf

reluctance than any other It goes harder
with them to expend a dollar on a valuable
newspaper than ten on gewgaw; yet every
body ayails himself of the editors pen and
printers ink. How many professional and
political regulations and fortunes have been
made and sustained by the friendly, though
unrequitted pen Of the editor? How many
embryo towns and cities have been brought
into notice and pulled into prosperity by tho
press? How many railroads, now in suc=

for the lever that moves the world In
short. what branch of industry and activity
has not been promoted, stimulated, and de-
Tended by the press?

exceeds IN affectionate devotion the following
incident, which was told Us few days since
by the soldier to whom it occurred. The mar

his arrival in America, Sheridan's brigade.
1t was in one Of those forced marches, when
they had driven back the enemy, and had
been inythe saddle for several consecutive
days and nights, that this trooper availed
himself OF a temporary halt to slip from his
sad4leaqa strechshin,self upon the turf-his
horse, meanwhile, browsing in the immediate
neighborhood. Il had slept for some little
time when he was suddenly awakened by the
frantic paving Of his horse at his SIDE. Fa-
tigued by his long ride, he did not rouse at
ONCE but Jay iin that partially Conscious state
WHICH 50 frequently attends great physical
prostration. Soon, however, the faithful an
ima perceiving that its efforts had failed TO
accomplish their object, licked his face, and
placing his mouth close to his car uttered loud
snort. Now thoroughly awake, he sprang up,
and as the horse turned for him to mount,
he saw for the first time that his comrads had
all disappeared, and that the enemy were
coming down upon him at full gallop. Once
mounted, the faithful beast bore him with
the speed of the wind safely from the danger,
and soon placed him among his companions
