Joseph Church & Co. are having built pre-

Pond the scale of which Is one-fourth OF an

and SO arranged as to work satisfactorily at the

TYPE WRITING MACHINE.-For three or
four days lady at the store of Loring, Short
& Harmon has been exhibiting type writing
machine, which has attracted great many
visitors and received most favorable comment.
The machine is so simple that any person can
easily acquire its use. In offices where large
amount of writing is required, particularly IN
the West, the machine has been introduced,
and after trial elicits warm commentator. 1t
is so simple that it cannot easily get out OF re-
pair, and will in time occupy the same place IN
offices, and even in families, as the sewing
machine. A fair operator can easily write
double the words that skillful and rapid PEN
man can make with a pen or pencil. A re-
porter of this city who thinks he can write as
rapidly as the ordinary run of his crowd, on a
trial with the lady at Loring, Short u Har-
mons, was easily beaten three to one. +. A.
Wilson, ESQ.,, of Bangor has one in his office,
and uses it entirely for his own letter writing.
He is very much pleased with it. In families
it will prove not only means of amusement,
but of improvement, for with it children will
most readily become more careful composers
and accurate spoilers. 1t is already being
introduced in lawyers offices in cities, and will
not only prove labor saving machine to them
but save their distressed clients from the
proverbially bad chirography of that respect
able profession.
Messrs Loring, Short s. Harmon will take
the agency in this city, and will doubtless have
one of the machines on exhibition ere long.
Pamphlets, explaining its operation, may be
obtained at the store of Loring, Short & Har-

Smelling Matches.


The large vestry of the India street church
was crowded last evening on the occasion Oh
the first spelling match held there. imo
classes spelled, the words being given by me-
A. E. Chase of the High School. Rev. Mr.
Bcknell and M. P. Frank, ESQ., were 'no
umpires. -.
The first class was composed largely OF
scholars belonging to the North ochoo'' anu
they certainly acquitted themselves admirably
Jennie z. Sargent, aged II, took the prlze'
one dollar greenback, but the spelling book
was nearly conquered when her associates
went down, and she left without missing
word. The next class was MADE OF oiu anu
Young. and was rather more exciting tthan the
first. A we'll known physician, VINO mas 100
much every day work to do to be thumblng
miserable speller, was the first man to go out,
making sad 'havoc' of that word. A young
lady went out on "trow sers." "Scarlatlna"
was fatal disease, and the last little girl went
down on "boatswain" because the master gave
If the old salt pronunciation of "bo' SON." In
fact, the two last of the class went down with
this word. A little girl named Susie DeDnison,
aged about IL years, took the first prize,
beautiful volume of poems, while Dr. Ordway
was declared to be the winner of the second-a
primer The door keeper took $35. 1t was a
very pleasant occasion.
CONGRESS STREET CHURCH.
The spelling match at the Congress street
church lsst evening was grand affair. The
yestry was crowded, and the spelling remark
ably good. The first prize was taken by Mr..
Thomas Quimby. Mr.. G. A. Black was the
next to the last down, failing on the word
'beuquet." Towards the last the match be-
came very exciting, as it stood between Bow
doin and Bates, Bowdoin proving the winner.
The prize for the second class was taken by
Miss Lucy Duffett. Mr. Wm x. Neal acted
as word giver, and Mr.. Edward GoddIng
umpire to the satisfaction of all. 1t is eX-
pected that next Monday evening an entertain
ment will be offered that will surpass anything
given this season.

THAT substantial and successful company, the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States, so favorably represented in this city by
lothian F. Clark, has just issued publications
exhibiting the actual results of its Tontine pol
icies.
Calculations have been made showing the
experience of the past seven years, which prove
that the accumulated surplus on policies of this
class is larger than the dividends heretofore de.
clared by any company on any plan of insur-
ance on policies of the same age.
The following example exhibits the exact
condition of policy issued July 9, 1869, at the
age of 81, and on the fifteen-year term:
Policy No. Al, 1O3, for $4,000, annual
premium, S1od'1 ~
Total amount paid in five years, LAOS 30
Accumulated Cash Surplus 1858
OVER 80 PER CENT. OF THE AMOUNT PAID.
Further illustrations and explanations may
be obt aimed from the state manager of the
company at No. 65 Exchange street.

THE WHY.-It has been frequently asked
why the Maine Central directors have created
the new officer, solicitor, etc. 1t is said that
this has been done to cut down legal expenses.
For nstance,-the Maine Central is sued for
some loss or other and the case entered on the
docket. Thereupon two or three lawyers who
NAV at some time have been retained for the
road put their names down as appearing for
the corporation, and as they get SO for a con-
tinuapce these cases are deferred as long as
possible, so that in many instances the attor-
ney's fees amount to more than the claims. 1t
is the purpose of the directors to settle every
possible case without going to court, and to
have tie balance looked after by Mr.. Noyes,
with the aid of few lawyers in different To-
| califies

THE MUsEUM.-We venture to say that the
major portion of the large audience at the Mu-
scum last evening were very agreeably sur
prised. Sad experience has taught amusement
seekers to distrust the genus 'Tnfant Phenom-
enon." Many of those who went to the
Museum went for the sake of saying. II told
you So, this morning. But they came away
singing quite another song. The "Bertuccio'
of Mr.. Byron was really a powerful piece of
acting. The biting humor of the court fool in
the first act, and the sustained passion in the
two following, were rendered with discrimina-
ton and strength. 1t might be easy to find
blemshes if one were SO minded, but taken as
whole the Characterization was a mastery
one, worthy of warm commentator, and as
good piece of acting as has been seen in Port
land for many day. Lack of space compels
us to dismiss the performance with this brief
mention, and to pass over the meritorious sup
polt given by some of the stock company.
Mr.. Byron's Petruchio was quite as happy in
| it's way, aud deserving of quite as warm COM
mendation. The bill is an excellent one, and
should draw packed houses while it is coDtin-
| ued.
Some good seats remain for Miss Victoria
| Cameron's benefit. This actress has contrib

ers this season and should receive substantial
