trained horses the men who were apparently
born without any back bones, the tumblers, the
leapers, the famous riders, and the lovely wo-
men in short petticoats who jump in and
through balloons and realize the story of Jack
the Giant Killer and the Miser of Bagdad
Please ask Col Lent to send me dozen free
tickets as compensation for the good influence
of my presence and receive my blessing and

THAT SATcHEL.-Mr Clark little satchel,
which went all the way to San Francisco and
back alone, was ON exhibition at the Merchants
Exchange yesterday and attracted good deal
of attention. 1t bore its own testimony to the
truth of the published statements in regard to
the passage. The Thomas check, by means of
which the double transit across the continent
was performed is something of curiosity 1t
is of brass ana bears it's number and the name
of the road issuing it. A small plate fits into
it, on which was stamped 'St John, n. B., to
San Francisco with the initials of the differ
tern route. At San Francisco the plate was re-
versed On this Side were the words "San
Francisco to St. John, n. B." with the initials
of the roads over which it came ON its return.
Ii is a very simple and ingenious discovery,
costing but little more than the ordinary bag
gage check, and ought to be adopted by every
railroad in the United States.

RELIos-Wewere shown yesterday at Kinds
apothecary store under the Preble House two
relics that will be regarded with especial rever-
ence by the Masouie Fraternity. They both
pertain to the gallant Commodore Tucker of
Revolutionary fame The first is his ''lamb-
skin or white leathern apron" ON which are
blazoned the emblems of the craft. 1t looks
as if it had done good deal of service, but is
nevertheless in an excellent state of preserya-
ton. The other is diploma, and sets forth
that Bro Tucker was made q member of st.
Johns Lodge, No. /, Boston, New England,
Jan. b. 1879. 1t bears in the margin the auto
graph of the old hero, and is signed and coun-
tersigned by Nath'l Patten, NJ; VIM. Burbeck,
S. w; Rd. Salter, J. W.. John Corther, S. G..

ODD FELLowsHIP.-Machigon and East
ern Star Encampments have voted to go to
Providence, Il. L. on an excursion on the Sd of
June. They will be accompanied by the Port
land Band, and expect to turn out about 200 re-
gaias This will be a delightful excursion and
we know that they will beI.warmly welcomed
by the citizens and fraternity in Providence
Machigonne Encampment has given Schu
macher an order for new banner, to cost about
$500, and doubtless Mr. S. will produce some
thing that cannot be surpassed in New Eng
land.
REV. DIR. BoLLEs' LECTUREs.-This gentle
man will deliver his first lecture at City Hal
this evening" The subject is the microscopic
study of life, illustrated by new pictures o.
living animals and specimens of microscopic
preparations. Much interest is felt in the sue
cess of these lectures, both by the friends o
the lecturer aud the gentlemen who are endeav
oring to impart to the people the best informa
ton on scientific topics in form that canno
fail to delight the beholder. Mr. Bolles ha
been eminently successful in his studies an
experiments, of late, and some features will b
introduced never before attempted in Portland
