To the Manufacturers of Portland.

~ the Nzanufacturers OIL fOrtAahu.
The Board of Manufacturers respectfully an
nounce to the manufacturers of Portland that
an exhibition of all the goods and wares manu-
featured in our city, or elsewhere, under the di-
rection and control of our citizens, will be held
in May neat at our City Hall, to be called 1.-THE
Portland Industrial Exhibition" provided, suf-
ficient encouragement is received to warrant SO
important undertaking by the Board,
Few people in our city, and none out of it,
have any adequate idea Of the amount, variety
or value of Portland manufactures.
The object of this proposed exhibition is, to
gather together specimen products from all our
factories and work shops under a single roof;
advertise the wares of all who exhibit; increase
the sale Of Portland manufactured goods; draw
the attention of capital and labor to our city;
and demonstrate the Importance of Portland as
a manufacturing center.
The Board have no doubt that steam power
can be procured for running machinery, so that
nearly all kinds of manufacturing may be put
in operation in City Hall before the eyes of
visitors
There will be no charge to exhibitors for adj
mission, or for space in the hall, nor will prizes
or diplomas be awarded.
The expenses of the exhibition are to be de-
frayed by small admission fee to all visitors
other than exhibitors.
To determine the feasibility of holding such
an exhibition as is herein suggested, public
meeting of the manufacturers of Portland is
hereby called to meet in the Common Council
Room, City Building on Wednesday evening,
Feb. 18th, 1874 All persons in the city interested
in manufacturing here or elsewhere, are cam
estly and cordially invited to be present and
lend the aid of their personal counsel to an en-
terprise which it is believed cannot but prove
to all interests represented. and
enhance the business prosperity of all our citi-
zens.

in the interior of Africa. He died of dysen-
terry. while travelling from Lake Bembe to IN
ganicembe. His body has been embamed and
is being conveyed to England. 1t will come by

Disraeli ON the British Situation.
LONDON, Jan. 26-The Right Hon. Benia-
min Disraelt, in an address to his constituents
in Buekinghamshire, seeking reelection to Par
Lament, strongly condemns the course of the
government. The Premier is charged with
having violated the constitutional law by per-
sisting for several months in the occupation of
seat to which he was no longer entitled and
OF the action of the Ministry in inaugurating
the Ashanthe war without communicating
with Parliament on the subject is severely de-
nounced. Disrael says that he finds nothing
definite in Mr. GladstOne's address regarding
the policy OF the latter except that he intends
to apply large surplus to the remission of tax
alton, which wonld be the course of any ministry.
The principal measures of relief spoken of BY
MI Oldustoue nave always Deen favored by the
Conservatives. 1t would have been better for
the country if within the last five years the for
eign policy of the government had been little
more energetic. Disraeli characterized the ar
gument for extension Of household suffrage to
counties as fallacious, and says that no one has
more strongly opposed the contemplated as
simiation of the franchies than the Premier.

of young ladies in the city whose judgment u
such matters is indisputable. No tickets will

The Washington correspondent OF the

lows: There Is ludicrous aspect some
times 10 the department; clerks life. lie
actually has the audacity sometimes TO
fall in love, and pcrpctrate matrimony
with some girl no better of than him
self. She, too, has been in the depart
mcnt, and grows - weary of the monot-
ony Of her life, and there Is something
80 sweet in the whispcrings Of love, that
she forgcts prudence, and after pinching
herself for months, she saves enough OF
her salary for silk dress aud few hits
Of finery, and has the ecidi Of a wedding
Time nics very rapidly, and you can
scarcely realize that II Is year since
the event when you met the once jaunty
girl-now a rather sickly.looking woman,
who, with the now faded silk skirt and
naples velvet, sleeveless jacket, Is trund-
ling a laby-carriage along the street.
The baby is darling, aud the mother
has utilized many Of those garments that
she spent 80 many hours Of the night
making for herself, When die was IL be
married, for the baby's Use. A dainty
blue afghan covers the little cherub, and
this is the only way that mother aud
child can get an airing, for nurse Is
out Of the question with their small sal
AIRY. That poor little mother finds life
very hard, for what is harder than Ia
have the sole care Of an infant both day
and night? There is no one to offer.
even f,s an hour or two, 10 relieve the
poor, tired mother And then they must
be content with such poor, common
lodging such insufficient food, and such
uncougenial society. She now looks
with envy upon her late companions a'
they wend their way to the departments,
and work there now seems 50 light and
pleasant. How nice il was TO have money
Of her own, no matter how little IL was,
yet it was hcr own, and she managed "a
dress and hook nicely all the time. Then,
too, she occasionally had an invitation
TO some place Of amusement; but now,
even though she were asked, she would
not leave the baby! Oh no, far from It,
That baby Is the most precious object In
life, and she would not part with Il fol
a kingdom"
