Hon. w. W. Thomas, Jr with the following
remarks introduced Charles 2. Kimball, Esq,
as the speaker of the evening:
Ladies' and Gentlemen This is the first
Industrial Exhibition ever attempted in Port
land-and this grand hall-the acropOlS OF our
clty-crowded with the varied and beautiful
products OF our workshops and manufactures,
and your presence mere Tonight in such goodly
numbers make the first Industrial Exhibition
a success and demonstrate the Importance of
Portland as manufacturing centre
This enterprise was originated, organized and
perfected by the Portland Board of Manufsc-
lures whose efforts have been actively and
warmly seconded by our mechanics and manu-
facturers.
1t has seemed fitting that this exposition
should be opened by an address. This will
now be delivered by the gentleman who origin
ated the idea of this exhibition, the President
of the Board of Manufactures, Hon, Charles
p Kimball, who, am sure, needs no intro
duction to Portland audience.

MR.. KDBALL's ADDRESS.
The city of Portland is widely known as a
smart entsrprising commercial city, containing
among its citizens, many of the most enter
prlsng, far seeing, public spirited merchants
and business men to be found in the United
States, ready at all times to take heavy respCn-
sibilites and strike out boldly for progress
to push forward to successful completion, the
grand enterprises necessary to make a prosper
GUS and hourishing CITY,
The citizens Of Portland have great conf
dence in the future of their city; hence no OBJ
stacle has been too great for them to overcome.
No calamity has thus far dismayed them. A
little less than eight years since the fearful
words flashed over the CT yilized world: ''The
beautiful city of Portland is being destroyed by
fire." 1t was literally true; large portion of
our city was on the morning of the 9TH of July,
1866, desolate waste. The sight was indeed
appalling; the stoutest heart was for time
struck with terror, but the sympathy and gem
crosby extended to us from our brother men
everywhere invigorated us. The noble spirit
that animates high, spirited, devoted Chris
tan people was not crushed, only awakened to
new life. and the heroism of Portland was
brought out in all its majesty, and our city was
rebuilt far more beautiful than ever before, in

VANDALISM.

We have heard of the devil among the tailorS, a bull in the China shop, and lot of young married women in vegetable garden, but for cOnsumnate dev. iltry commend as to certain quartette of young Worthies, (We
 will not call them hOodIums just nOw,) who invaded the sacred precincts of our Sanctum last
 Thursday evening, when we were gone to supper and our fore man and devil were both away. The young ScampS above alluded to, were a delr gation from the new Base BdU Club, and their caperS show that they are already proficient in the baxe part. We cannot attempt a description of their doings in our sanctum, for if we did, their governors would not send them any more remit tances, and they would not be able to ask us up to take some thing, as they now do sometimes Guess we'll keep little shady. Suffice 1t to say that they turned everything upside down, and put everything just where it ought not to be They even went so far as to pry into our virtuous couch and peep under it, where profane eyes are not expected to gaze. They put our dirty boots between our clean sheets, and turned the mirror wrong side out, put candles in ink-stands, and did some things nameles, here.
 Look out, boys. We'll not give your names now. but some of, you have pretty nice quarters and if don't behave yourselves, we'llj send our Danites some of these times, and you'll find the aboni. nation of dessolation about your camps. We've written to Brig ham Young for few destroying angels for your benefit.

CHEWING GUM.

Wherever or however the fash ion of chewing gum originated, we do not know; but We do know that it is a very common one, and to the locker on, not very inter esting one. Every--no, not every mother, we are sorry to say, for some mothers set this foolish eX ample to their daughters-but a good many mothers, have srOlded and cOaxed, threatened and Teas oned with their little people on the chewing gum question, but somehow it does not avail much Now we have found out what it is made of. and if, when We tell you, children, it does not stop your masticating continually with all vour might and main. then we'll give up and never say any thing more about c1eWing gum.
 What do you think it is? Does it come from some spice.tree, or is it made Of gum drops and In dia- -rubber-equal parts? It is too bad to tell you perhaps, and give your tired little jaws a rest, but we will. It is made of certain parts of gum-arabir, gum-traga- cath, and small quantity ofrosin and fat.

RIGHTS OF MEXICAN CITI-
 ZEWS.

Our Washington correspondent sends us the following matter of interest:
 Apropos of Mccormick, a few words about his bill to declare the rights of Mexican citizens whom we embraced at the time we gobbled up Mexico's fairest possessions. There has some times been a dispute concerning the rights of such citizens undef the treaties; and now, at this lat day, it is proposed to declar' them.
 The bill provides that all those Mexican citizens and residents who, at the date of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Gads- den treaty, respectively, were es- tablished as such citizens and res idents in any territories acquired by the United .otateS from Mixico through the said treaties and who have since continued to reside in good faith within the limits of the United States, ale, and shall be entitled to have, possess, exercise and enjoy all such rights, powers and privileges under the law as belong and are accorded 10 citi- zens of the United States. That every such Mexican citizen and resident having continued to re. side as aforesaid, has, and shall continue to have the right to sue and be sued, 10 acquire, possess, hold, enjoy, and dispose of proper ty, whether real personal or mix ed as fully as any citizen of the United States. That any such Mexican citizen and resident hay. ing continued to reside as afOre- said, and being desirOus of actual naturalization under the COnsti- tuition and the laws of the Unified States, shall be entitled to the same on proof of such residence and the other legal requisite in any cOmpe.ent court, withOl t a previous declaration of intention.
 The effect Of this bill, if it be- comes q law, will be very salut0ry in California and particularly in the southern counties and ArizO- ma. where there seems to be no established rule for determining who is entitled to vote. Your correspondent has seen men try ing to get in the votes of Indians under the plea that they were Mexicans" under the treaty This bill will correct abuses an aid the "MeXlcan citizen" who will become thereby really, tech. nically and practically an An1eri, can citizen. c A.

Therefore we will be unable to get anymore tel egramS to-day. from beyond San Diego. The flood has been un- precedented everywhere along the coast. Bridges have been swept away; in some places houses and ranches have been carried off; old dry aroyas have been convert ed into great foaming rivers il. e mails are completely checked, and the old fluvial deity seems to be having high old time of his own.

The indications now are that the Governor will repair the road himself, as the growing importance of the Japa mining district, from which the Mexican Government is already deriving d comparatively large revenue, makes good roads a ne- ceSsity.
