says an audience, composed of between 300 and
400 ladies, assembled in the chapel of the Church
of the Strangers Monday afternoon to Ii stem to
lecture given by Mrs. Susan Everett M, D. Of
Portland Me. who desires to tell the New
York ladies how to eat, sleep and live. The
lady is very pleasant spoken M. d. with dark
hazel eyes, very white teeth, and profuson of
dark hair. She was dressed in in itch black
MORE silk, devoid of overskrt but with plenty
of soft lace at the wrists and throat. She
claimed that women need not be sick. She be-
ieved that God intended we should live long
and be happy, and said that if women lived as
they should live-ate, drank and slept as they
ought and might-a greater and better race of
humanity might be given to the world, as the
mother stamped intellectually and moral
worth upon the unborn infant She believes in
increase of population, and assured the women
that they only did sheir duty in adding to the
statistics of the city. She alluded to the fact
of some diseases having increased fourfold
among which she classed paralysis, epilepsy,
and SO on. Quaker lady in the audience
looked mp from beneath her modest bonnet with
inquiring eyes and a self-satsfied air when the
speaker denounced corsets as an abomination
and told of the weakn ,ss of the New England
women of to-day in lot being able to nurse
their children. She also believed that chris
ianity and morality were were conducive to
health, and closed by giving notice of series
of four lectures wherein she should display her
"mannikin'' and Skeleton with suggestive
hints and instruction such as she deemed her
audience might need. At the close of the
speakers remarks the dollars were handed up
to the lady freely, and tickets given in return

Mr.. Reeds Remarks before the Judiciary
Committee.

AUGUSTA, Jan. %, 1874.
In your report of Mr.. Reeds remarks on
Capital Punishment there were some inaecura-
cies which should be corrected. Mr.. Reed did
not argue that all brutal murderers were in
sane but only that some of them were shown to
be to the satisfaction of juries and all parties.
sssssass mat r We were 70 sdessroy men seeaus1
they were noxious animals these would be the
very ones we would select for they are beyond
reformation and perpetual source of danger
Bnt all men are agreed that these criminals
should not DO destroyed Hence 1t cannot in
all cases be said that when men are dangerous
to the community we have right to rectify, by
extirpating them, the mistake some people in
innate God has made in sending them here.
On the subject of the law of 1885 Mr.. Reed
said that while it might be indirect it really
satisfied the people and was very little objected
to except by gentlemen who cared more for
logic than results HOUSE.

right to convert all of the 1925 into gold tooth
picks if they choose. Senator Morrill, desired
to have the offices administered that there
would tbe ,no chance for scandalous reports
very difficult to accomplish, remarking that he
would be greatly delighted if this and every
other office in the Capitol could be SO conducted
that lies about it would be impossible.
THE ALABAMA AWARDS.
The Committee on the Judiciary, to-day,
had before them the question of the Alabama
claims. Mr.. Dudley Field addressed the COM
mittee in behalf of the Columbian Insurance
Company, which failed on the 22d of January,
1866, owing debts of very large amount, and
having means to pay but small amount of
the indebtedness. The principal asset, and
one that was then most relied on, was the
Alabama claims. The company had paid
away to insurers, under war risks, very large
sum of money for losses arising directly from
I acts of vessels hostile to the United States
during the late war. This sum, about S632,
| 900, was due to the acts of the Alabama,
| Florida and Shenandoah, the three vessels
| which were selected by the Geneva tribunal
as being those for whose ravages indemnity
| should be paid. The amount upon these three
vessels alone, including interest, would there
fore amount at present, to sum which
may be stated at $l,OO0.0O0. Mr.. Brainard
of New York argued in favor of in
Guiding losses by the Shenandoah before
| the period fixed by the Geneva arbitration
| William M. Evarts argued in favor of including
in the distribution of the award the rights Of
| insurers who have paid their losses. He occu-
| pied an hour. The committee adjourned till
Friday, to give him an opportunity to conclude
his remarks Mr.. Evarts, in the course of his
argument, reviewed the proceedings before the
general tribunal, showing exactly what classes
| of claims were and what were not considered
| by it, and was listened to with marked atten-
ton by the committee, from the fact that he
had been one of the counsel for the Govern
ment at Geneva, and his personal knowledge
of the DEL berations of that body threw much
light upon the points used in his argument.
PLANS FOR NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
There are two schemes before Congress pro.
viding for the organization of National Board
of Health. One provides for the creation of q
new Bureau composed of the Surgeon Generals
of the Army and Navy, and the Supervising
Surgeon of marine hospitals. 1t is urged
against this bill that it creates an additional
bureau and would inevitably greatly increase
the expenditures. Another plan provides that
the Secretary of the Treasury shall have charge
of the matte, inasmuch as it is especially re
lated to commerce, and he can attach the pro-
posed machinery to any of the existing bureaus
of his department suitable for that purpose
without large additional expenditures.

Several patent inventions of Maine men for
the benefit OF railroads ero commended.
1t Is suggested that all returns from Railroad
companies shall be rendered by December for
each year ending September 3d.
The Commissioners give as the totar mileage
in Maine 900 IA miles.
PORTLAND AND oGDENsBURG RAILROAD.
This road is steadily and surely advancing
toward completion. The receipts from passen-
gers, freight, etc., have been $144, 1882 26; ex
pense of operating, (estimated) $95 ,9O7 %, say
66 15-100 per cent. of earnings. Mileage-pas
senger trains, rs, 1854; freight and mixed trains,
1868; ballast trains, 1904; construction trains,
moved by contractors, 1870.
CONSOLIDATED MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
On the Portland and Kennebec division the
road has been repaired und improved On the
somerset aud Kennebec division the track is in
Iair condition. The bridge across the Kenne-
pee at Waterville is not considered safe, and
the commissioners are convinced that trains
ought mol 10 DE and Will not be allowed to RIM
over 1t another season. Improvements and ra-
pairs have been made on the Maine Centre,
division. Nothing has been done in the w.,,
of repairs and Improvements on the Re,fa.t
and Moosehead Lake branch. This road is
leased by the Maine Central Its cost was
about $780, 900; bonded debt, $3.50, 900; its liza
bility beyond is upon stock The Dexter and
Newport branch is a pecuniary success. 1t is
leased by the Maine Central; 6per cent. being
paid on its entire cost, which was $500, 900;
town of Dexter bonds $4,000; town of Cor
rnna bonds, 900; stock, $125,000. That
portion of the Audroscoggin division between
Crowley $ Station and Iced is not in so good
order as the other portion of the line, and will
require extensive repairs the coming season.
In consequence of the burning Of the Ken
dalrs Mill bridge, a new line has been built
from Winslow lat the easterly end of the old
Waterville bridge, to point of junction with
the line OF the old Maine Central road in BEN
ton, four miles in length. A new iron bridge
is being built near Hollands Brook across the
Kennebec, one and half miles above Water
vile which is expected to be ready for the
crossing of trains by the 10th of March.
The rolling stock of the road now consists of
81 locomotives, S8 passenger and baggage cars,
and 1119 freight cars
