A DISCOUNTED REPoRTER.-Can it be that
Portland holds within her borders one of those
persons possessed of devilish invention and
cruel malignity, in whose eyes crest-fallen
reporter is pleasing spectacle. We fear so,
else that winged Mercury who gathers up the
gossip of the day would never have set extra
feathers to his feet yesterday and INDUCED in
frantic rush for Bracket street in search of a
dog which swallowed kitten, was afterwards
cut open, the kitten rescued, the dog sewed up
and both animals left as frisky as ever And
yet this fiend gloats over his triumph. Stories
OF weary reportorial legs fail to touch his
heart; and even when he hears that the re-
porterial passion is wrought up to that frenzy
which vents itself in English forcible, but per-
haps not elegant, he only smiles sardonically
and whispers-Sold. M

Model Carriage rranufactory

The well-known and enter prisng firm of
Martin, Pencil g. Co. (Enoch Martin and
Israel p Waterhouse), now doing business on
Preble street. are erecting a handsome and
commodious brick building Cor their occupancy,
corner of Cumberland and Elm streets, which
will be finished about the first of January 1876
Knights, Redlon & Co. are doing the mason
work. The dimensions of the structure are 90
feet Oh Cumberland and SION Elm street, having
hollow square in the center, the area being for
repairing purposes. The building is of four
stories on Cumberland and three on Elm street.
1t will be furnished with the most approved
machinery for carriage building, run by steam
power. and will have two elevators. The base
ment will be used for storage, the first floor
for blacksmith work, the second for wood and
upholstering work, and the third for painting.
The first floor of the rear portion of the build.
ing will be elegantly fitted up for an Office and
repository. 1t will unquestionably be the best
carriage factory in Maine, and there are very
few in New England that excel it in size and
facilities for turning out approved work.
For many years Martin, Pencil & Co. have
enjoyed first-class reputation, and for substan-
tial work, not surpassed by that of any carriage
manufacturer in the state. They build light top
carriages of various styles, the Martin and
Pencil wagons" (widely known as such) and
sleighs. Their production per year is from 200
to 800 carriages, wagons and sleghs, worth
in the market from $4,000 to $50,00O besides
which they do a large amount of carriage re-
pairing. In the new factory they will have
facilities for turning out work to the amount of
100000 yearly. About twenty five men are
employed in their establishment the year
round. Martin, Pencil s. Co.'s carriages find
a ready market all over the country, from
Maine to California Many of their handsome
sleighs are sold in Boston, and they supply a
good share of the home trade.
Such industrial enterprises as we have above
described are of material benefit to our city's
welfare, tending to promote its progress and
permanent prosperity, and hence the duty of
our citizen lies in the way of aiding and en-
couraging all our manufacturing interests.

Our Daily Bread.

A farinaceous diet may be we'll
enough adapted to long-sustained plod-
ding in fields, the monotonous life of a
country shop-keeper, or, in fact, any
sedentary life, but to the busy bee of
the great metropolitan hive, plenty of
animal food, as we'll as vegetables, is
absolutely essential. In the one case
the roll, if long and severe, is equally
distributed and wholly muscular; in
the other it may be all this one day,
while the next day may demand the in
Simultaneous promptitude of thought and
action so characteristic of the we'll
trained sailor or soldier. The graceful
herbivorous springbok of the African
wastes can, In long chase, easily out
run the fleetest carnivori, but the hunt
ing cheetah, whose food is blood and
quivering flesh, must overtake the deer
during the first sudden rush, or its prey
escapes. Mile the purely vegetable
diet of the springbok enables it to put
forth long and well-sustained exertion,
the animal food of the leopard fits it fol-
concentrated and sudden effort. The
moral deduclble from these illustrations
is obvious Feed the people accoi, ing
to the exerticu demanded-thea gricuit-
ural laborer AID unintellectual country
squire with bread and vegeta, bes the
sailor chiefly with animal nutriment
and the braln-worker of the city with q
copious supply of both.
