The Temperance reform is by no means coz
fined to Maine. 1t is extending to all classes
even the most abandoned. We find the proof
of this statement in the fact that many New
York brokers have signed the following pledge,
which renders drinking a solitary practice that
only the real drunkard finds any in satisfaction
1--WE, the undersigned, deprecating the grow
ing evil OF intemperance, and believing that it
is in a great degree induced by mistaken idea
OF sociability and politeness; therefore, with a
view OF DISCRIMINATING the evil in practical
way, we hereby pledge ourselves to paw only for
the-liquor which we ourselves drink, and to
abstain from drinking any liquors which others

THE petition for an examination of the
route of the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad
now pending before the City Government is
very numerously signed by eminently respect
able citizens of all shades of opinion. 1t asks
for thing which seems particularly fit and
proper to be done. The matter of i'm
proved railroad communication with the
West is of such transcendent interest to all
citizens of Portland that nothing which will
tend to effect that object should be omitted.
If the estimates and figures of the managers
of the road are incorrect, that fact should be
at once and thoroughly known. If their
statements are correct, quietus should be
given to the charges of mistake and misrepre-
sentation which are so freely banded about
in certain quarters. If the friends of the
proposed loan believe what they say as to the
feasibility of the route and that the road can
be completed for the estimated sum and if the
opponents of the loan are honest in their de-
clared opinion that it is not feasible and can
not be completed for that sum, neither party
can fear the result of an impartial examina-
ton and both will join in advocacy of the pro-
PNSC0 ouifCy.
We believe that the citizens of Portland
wish to act judiciously in this matter.
As the most of them have no means to make
special study and examination of the sub
ject they must depend upon the statements
laid before them by those specially interested,
pro or con. These statements and the de-
auctions drawn from them differ so widely
and are naturally so far colored by the fervor
of partisanship, that the proposition to have
the facts settled by an impartial investigation
under charge of the city government is
natural result from the situation. We see no
real ground for opposition on the part of any
body, except those who have fully prejudged
the subject and fear the effect of examination
upon their pet theories.

RuMoREp RUPTURE BETWEEN GERMAN

RUMoRED RUPTURE BETWEEN GERMANY
AND FRANcE.-The following statement gives
the only authority and foundation SO far as as
certained of the reported differences between
France and Germany
The London Telegraph of Monday basing an
editorial article upon assertions made by Its
Paris and Berlin correspondents said, I'VE re-
greet to learn of the relation between France
and Germany the critical condition whereof
made known throughout these columns is caus-
ing the greatest anxiety to those by whom it is
best appreciated" The Telegraph further ex-
pressed the belief that it is "Only by the exer-
else of discretion at Paris and Berlin that grave
complications may be avoided.
The statements of the Correspondents upon
which the foregoing is predicted are in sub
stance that Germany distrusts the good faith of
France, is displeased at the extent of the arma-
ment and military organization, which the
| Theirs government is carrying forward, and
! that Prince Bismarck is about to enter for
| NAL protest against the course which France is
| pursuing, in which he will declare the necessity
of prompt and decisive action on the part of
| Germany, even to the extent of re-Occupylng
| the departments of France lately evacuated by
| German troops.
! The Telegraph asserts edtorially that it
| knows on the highest authority that the speech
! of Theirs at the adjournment OF the French AS
sembly creates grave impression at Berlin.
Neither the letters nor editorials in any Lon
| don newspapers give confirmation or cOunte-
nance to the assertions of the Telegraph, and
| while it has been limited that that journal is in
| some way in the service and interests of the
German Chancellor the more general impress
| sion is that the whole story is fabricated either
as sensation or with the design of aiding some
speculative scheme.

A NARROW ESQ APE. On last We'd
nesday evening. at the new saw mill of
Messrs. Egg, Allies & Co.. while they
were irving to draw up a saw-log. a
knot caught on one of the cross pieces,
OF the log way. Mr.. Paul Egg got a
.lack-scrcw and commenced raising the
log up. when the log was raised higl,
enough to pass over the cross-tie. the
log and Wagon started back knocking
MIR. Egg down, he falling between the
cross-ties; the carriage and log passing
over him with very slight injure. Mr..
Egg was very fortunate in escaping with
so slight an injure.
