Dear Press:
was asked by Portland gentleman at the
Hop given at the Ocean House on Saturday
evening, "How we passed our time? pre-
pared to answer him but the celebrated flight
OF Cinderella was slow compared to the time he
made after one glance at his watch, and in

One hardly knows how time flies through the
day. After breakfast is over, we lounge around
on the piazza and walk on the beach until the
bell rings for bathing. Then everybody throws
aside every idea of individuality and make
themselves look as hideous as possible. Ladies'
who would be dreadfully shocked at gentlemen
seeing the tips of their toes at home, walk very
lnditferently down to the beach before hun

kies, safe in the knowledge that bathing suit

The Potomac Steamer Disaster.
Sixty-Seyen Bodies Recovered.

WASHINGTON The steamer Vanderbilt arriv-
ed last night from the scene of the Wawassett
disaster with six more bodies of the victims
who persisted on the Inflated vessels Five of
them were identified as those of Geo. w. Cook,
q grocer of Washington, Richard Murray,
cOlored passenger, Geo. TIbbs a colored deck
hand, Mary Blackwell, colored passenger and
little girl about twelve years old, supposed to
be the daughter of Mrs. Lucinda Grant. The
sixth body was that of a colored wonon not
yet identified
Another steamer went down last evening
and IS expected to-day with more bodies. The
latest estimate of the number of those lost on
the Wawossett is that it will reach seventy at
least Many of tn ,se will, in sll probability,
not be identified, particularly in the case OF
cOlGred persons.
The Supervising Inspector of steamboats, for
this district has arrived, and will, by order of
the Secretary of the Treasury, commence We'd
nesday a full examination into the recent
steamboat disaster on the Potomac.
A thorough count of the number of Dead
bodies already recovered puts the list at 81.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1l.-Boatmen living on
the river say that the screams of women and
children on the Wawassett could he heard for
miles; that all boats available were put into
service and every effort made to extend relief
Or the way to Chatterton several bodies of col
ored men and women were passed which had
been dragged ashore. The wreck of the steamer
lies about $50 yards below the landing, and
PROBABLY l50 yards from shore. The boiler,
smoke stack and all metallic portions seem to
rest firmly on the bottom, and nearly all the
machinery is exposed to view at low water.
Not particle of combustible material remains.
Between Boydshall and Chatterton the shore
is lined with pieces of wreck, and half way be-
tween the points named was the Inflated life
boat with her entire stern tout. Shreds of
clothing, bonnets, hats, fans and smaller arti-
Giles were floating promiscously about in the
surf. A young woman rescued from the Wa
wassett states that she saw four little children
hanging on by their hands to the waist of the
burning steamer, and one after the other drop
ped into the water, the flames driving them off.
The colored people were perfectly Wild and no
remonstrance on the part of the officers was
needed. They jumped into the boat pling it
full and declared that it was the colored peo-
pies boat. refusing all whites admission.
When it went down, all were dumped into the
water together and many others followed, being
pushed overheard. Both white and colored
stragglers plundered and robbed the dead as
they foated ashore. Yesterday several instances
of this kind were noticed but could not be pre-
vented, by Mr.. McClelland, who alone was au-
thorized to take charge of the valuables found.
Owing to the long extent of shore, many bodies
could not be reached by him till they had been
rfled and the guilty parties escaped,

THE FAT MEN.-The President having been
invited to attend the clambake of the 'Fat Men
of New England" on the 2Sth of August, the
New York Post gives the following reasons for
his attendance:
The reasons why the President should give
an official sanction to fairness may be briefly
stated. In the first place, it is needed in New
England, which has never given any serious
attention to the subject of obesity. For want
of fairness, hereditary or acquired, the New
Highlander is rapidly degeneratng into an ex-
ample of nervous attenuation, and more or less
of this tendency has been everywhere dissent
mated through successive migrations. AS the
annals of the association have abundantly
proved, there is nothing like honorable emula-
ton in the pursuit of an aim SO important.
Like all deeds of heroic sacrifice, getting fat
needs the continual stimulant of rivalry and
the sanction of illustrious example. In the
second place, the quality of good nature, in
which SO many people are sadly wanting, is al
most invariably in exact ratio to the fatty Sc
erection. If you want a good-natured public
you must encourage fatness, and the President,
as politician, can not be Indifferent to this
aspect of the question. On every account,
therefore, patriotic and personal, it seems de-
sirable that the President should eat baked
clams-not too mauy-with those famous and
long-suffering men, the extra.fat men of Con-
necticut, on the 18th of August.
