An appeal is hereby made to the women of
the State for help to decorate and fill Names
allotted space in the Woman's Pavilion at the
Centennial, a vast and beautiful structure, to
be devoted and dedicated to Woman's Work,
the last, best gift to the Great Exposition.
1t is to be hoped that systematic organization
has been already effected in every town in the
State, in response to frequent and earnest So
licitation, that we may accomplish the collect
ing, forwarding and displaying of our contri-
button, which must comprise everything rich,
useful or curious that has come down to US
from the historic homes of 'Our Grandmother
DAYS." the home products of our own every
day life, and the rarest accomplishments and
conceptions of our varied artistic skill. 1t will
be wonderful spectacle, and a wonderful sea-
son, and the daughters of Maine should aid
and honor it with the best results of their gifts
and genius, to the end that the Centennial year
shall show aggregated gifts and joys OF ma
tional household. The Boston Post thus hap
PLY expresses our views upon the subject:
The breaking of the ground for the "Wom-
ans Pavilion" at Philadelphia has made the
Centennial, as it relates to women, topic of
conversation, and stimulates the inquiry as to
what is being done among women to make the
representation a respectable one. 1t is consid-
cred high time that women bestirre them
selves in the matter, and, setting aside the fact
that republics have been and are uUgratefu',
set themselves instantly to work everywhere to
collect whatever can be discovered representa-
tive of the special labor of women for the past
lscentury, make list and apply to have it adj
mitted and classified. Lace-work, embroidery,
books, pictures, sculpture, engraving, orna-
mental articles. arrangement and preservation
of leaves, painting. objecr-work of all kinds,
exhibition of processes, or comparison of the
differences between processes hundred years
ago and to day, bridal outfits in 1776 and 1876,
would all find place. A piece Of work exc
cuted by the Empress Josephine has been put
in the hands of one lady, who has also foot
stool worked by the fair hands of the Empress
Eugene. People who have patent corsets, ex-
traOrdinarys fris, and amazing furDelows are
already active, and are anxious to place them
on exhibition; and there is tendency on the
part of the dress reformers generally, TO Haunt
their favorite devices in the face of the uni
verse. The Philadelphia papers do not extend
and there is hope tn. the chemioon will be
declared centraband; that the baggy trousers
will be accounted felonious. and that the
Women's Department will be devoted to
women's work as it appears in the myriad ex-
| celent articles of use and beauty which are the
| fruits of honest toll and not of reforming
| foolery.
There is no time to be lost, and we ask the
public press, by kindly publishing this appeal,
| u bring it to the notice of every woman in the
| State interested in the Great National Exhibi-
| ton. Mrs. BIoN BRADBURY,
Vice-President of the Women's Centennial
Elk. Com. for the Stale of Maine.

NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.-Mr. Hayden
gave his third discourse on the Sabbath Day,
taking for his text. 'Six days shalt thou labor,
and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God" He spoke Of the
symbolical sense in which the earlier chapters
of the Bible are written, and said that the six
days are those in which the mind is given to
worldly things, and the Sabbath is the time
given to the consideration of heavenly things.
But man cannot continually dwell on high
mountains apart, land tits necessary to labor dill
gently six days attending to the duties of the
world to fifty enjoy and improve the Sabbath,
as life of diigent well-doing is essential to
the realization of the Sabbath of the Lord in a
better world. This is particularly worthy of
consideration at the present time, when relig-
ion is everywhere well spoken of, but ill-doing
everywhere prevails. Honesty and integrity
are what is wanted. Hard times will prevail
until we return to economy and thrift. We
must remember that communities exist where
hard times always prevail But it would not
be we'll for mankind to be ever prosperous; they
would ascribe it to their own merit and not to
the goodness of God. The overmastering love
of gain, the desile to grasp sudden wealth is
hurtful, while dilgent and constant labor is
healthful So with spiritual greed which
grasps at instant holiness; the distance from
Egypt to the promised land is too great to be
passed in day, and goodness must be obtain
ed by daily accumulation, eating the daily
mama, and being content to eat the old corn
of the Ian until the new can be grown.

woman,s rempsrauce Union.

Mr.. Editor-Under obligation to the Wom-
ans Temperance Union of this state, organized
last summer as auxiliary to the National I'm
ion, we are interested to know what is the
prospect here for local auxiliary? OF Port
land with her antecedents on this and every
line of humanitarian effort, much is expected
A beacon light fed by woman's hands ought to
be blazing in her citadel, not such an one as
will 60 out in night but one that many a for
lorn and ship-wreched brother SEEING, shall take
heart again.. A breath from the land of Beu-
lab has set the "tops of the mulberry trees"
agoing little in New England, but the sweet
prophecy was strangely interpreted, and is
waiting better apprehension. 1t was some
thing different, and more than the whisper of a
street raid. The true spirit of the Woman's
Crusade is significant of advantages never be-
fore reached, set to an enduring strain of hope
and victory like that which the immortals
know To consider the situation, and with
definite and earnest endeavors to work toward
the better feeling and brighter day, in the near
future of our country, when intemperance
shall be put away, is pow our recognized privi-
lege and duty. "The thoughts of men are
widened with the process of the suns" but the
ideas of patton are also subject to swifter
revolution; sharper methods bring US often to
position and relative influence, and He is turn
inc and oyerturning, whose right it is, that He
NAV reign Beside cur relation to the children
of this generation, and the conventional privi-
leges Of the social circle, there is 10 this nspi-
ration the thought of a wonderful mission to
the hopeless and the helpless of every rank in
society, and for the true and the wise it is walt
ing
The cause.cannot be sacrificed 10 weak ex
pertinent. To fiud out if there are those
among us who would shape and direct such
work as the place and the times may suggest
and If there is general interest which would
support an organization, is the object of this
venture, and l beg leave to propose that the
ladies OF every religious society in town who
would give themselves to this cause in any
| way report themselves, before the fifteenth of
this month, to the pastor of their respective
| societies, or to me at Ill Oxford street.

A WEDDING ToUR.-On Saturday morning
a gay Young couple started from Boston to visit
the "nstural seaport" on their wedding tour.
They were very happy, as wedding parties al
ways are, and attracted some attention on the
train for the first few miles. At one of the
stations short distance out of the city the
gentleman left the train for moment, and in
returning got on one going into Boston. He
was somewhat excited and did not notice the
mistake until the train was we'll underway,
and be was obliged to return to the "Hub " In
the meantime the bride came on (not rejoicing)
to Portland. On arrival here she found a dis
patch awaiting her from her husband, which
explained the situation. She went to hotel
and diligently waited for the arrival of the next
Boston train, which brought her beloved
spouse. They are much pleased with the city
now they have all rot here

THE MUsEUM-To-pight the spectacular
drama by Robertson, entitled "Ours," will be
put ON the boards at the Museum with splen-
did scenery by Richards and mechanical eff
fects by Page. TIE drama is in three acts, the
first introducing the spectator to the elegant
English park of Sir Alexander Shendryn, the
second to drawing room in Sir Alexander's
mansion, from the windows of which is seen
regiment OF soldiers setting out for the Crimea,
and the third the interior of soldiers hut at
the Crimea, with the country covered with
snow and the hghlandsin the distance. Great
attention has been paid to the scenery and it
bids fair to equal that of the Two Orphans.
The musical effects will add greatly to the at
Effectiveness of the play, especially the militia
ry quickstep by the regimental band when set
ting out for the Crimea, which will be per-
formed by Coles Band. Between the acts the
orchestra will render Bolillon's overture, "La
Flandre," Labitsky's Waltz, "Spring Greeting"
and Rossinis overture to William Tell, No
expense has been spared to render the presen-
tation of this play worthy of the museum and
the high encomiums which resulted from the
excellent manner in which the 1.-TWO Orphans"
was brought out, and it will doubtless become
as popular as that play. The following is the

The IeweIry Thieves.

As will be seen by the municipal court re-
port, Haney and Bean, the two jewelry thieves.
were brought before Judge Knight Saturday
morning, and waving an examination, were
held in the sum of $1,000 each for their appear
ance at the January term of the Superior Court.
They were unable to furnish bail and were sent
to Jail. Deputy Bridges found six more rings
Saturday, which had been pawned in this city
for money. The person who received them had
no suspicion that they were stolen, and took
them in good faith. This is probably all that
will be irecovered, as Dryer says that he
dropped several OF them in passing out of the
store, which were probably picked up by the
passers-by, either that evening or the next
morning.
1t seems that officer Lynch of Boston had
double reason for visiting this city last week.
He was in search of a valise containing about
$4,000 in notes and checks which DeWyer had
taken from the man whom he knocked down
and robbed in Boston. The officer had infor-
nation that person in this city knew where
the valise was, but he was unable to find him
at the time of his visit. The valise was of great
Importance in order to convict DeWyer of the
Boston robbery, as it was about all the evil
dence that there was against him.
After Deputy Bridges returned from Boston,
Friday night, he discovered man who knew
where the valse was, in Boston. He visited
him and obtained the exact place where the
valse had been hid by Dryer, after the rob-
berry. Bridges at once communicated with
Capt Ford of Station g. Boston, and gaze him
a description of the place where the stolen
property was TO be found, and in a short time
received an answer that it was found all right.
This was sharp work for Deputy Bridges, but
it will be very strange if the Boston officers are
ever able to do as much for him or any other
Portland officer.

A LARGE BoILER.-Not long ago the PRESS
contained an extended account of the large so
ton boiler building by Quinn & Co. for the
steamer John Brooks of the Boston Steam
Packet Co. The boiler is now completed and
is fine piece of workmanship. 1t was remov-
ed yesterday from the shop on Franklin street
to Portland Company's wharf, where it will be
placed on board the steamer early this week.
1t was necessary to do this work on Sunday as
it was the only time the railroad track was not
in use The removal was quite an undertake
ing and required large force of men, The
boiler is the largest ever built in Maine, and
for fine workmanship will compare with any
ever built in the United States 1t is worthy of
note that Portland is prepared to do such good
work

HAzING AT BowDoIN.-Despite the efforts
of the boys, it has leaked out that the Sopho-
more class at Bowdoin gave the Freshmen a
pretty severe "hazing" on Thursday evening of
last week. 1t appears that the Freshmen
were holding class meeting for some purpose,
but before the exercises, were over the ''Sophs"
appeared, "just in fun" without masks and
caused the Freshmen to sing. That over they
proceeded to have them toss their own MEM
bers by turn in ablanket They were proceeding
with this exercise and had young Davis of this
city, son of w. G. Davis, esq, in the blanket,
when one of the fellows let go and Davis fell
to the floor, receiving SO painful bruises that he
came home, and is said to be quite severely in
jured. We are informed that the exercises
did not end there, but that the members of the
new class were compelled to 60 through va
rious exercises for the amusement of the gen.
Hemen of the upper classes.

experiences. Mr.. g. F. Todd of st. Stephen
said that on one of his farms he cuts some 800
tons of meadow hay--having removed his
sheep to another farm he feeds it to his oxen
and young stock. During the present season
he had sold forty head of cattle from this feed
ing and from grass, which the drovers pro-
nounced unsurpassed as beef by any sold in
Maine or New Brunswick. A good deal of
brown-top is found on his meadows.
Mr.. Geo. F. Hill of New Brunswick
gave some account Of the recent sale of
cattle by his government. Some $4,000
had been expended in in buying choice
stock, mostly Short Horns and Ayr
shire, few Jerseys, one Hereford and one
Holstein-also Leicester and Cotswold sheep,
and Yorkshire, Berkshire and Leicester swine,
and four Percheron horses. These animals were
sold at auction at a loss of four or FIVE thous-
and dollars upon condition that there are to be
retained in the Province for five years for the
improvement of stock. Nine-tenths of them
were bought by the different agricultural socle-
ties, and will be scattered over wide district.
When will Maine have the courage and en-
terprlse to go and do likewise?
1t will be remembered that the session was
one day shorter than usual and therefore there
is less material for report Good results,
however, will follow the meeting-cheese fac
tories may be looked for in Washington Coun-
ty, more attention will be given to raising fruit
aud very likely a Horticultural Society will be
started in Calais.

came subsequently by boat, and will be vain

Several applications were received for the
next meeting Brunswick may be the place, il
suitable arrangements can be made for the
transportation of the students of the State Col
eye.
The Members of the Board will not soon for
get the Inequalities and 'courtesies extended te
them by the citizens of Calais.

afternoon. The exercises were peculiar, but
not intensely interesting to the non-believer
Miss Leslie went into a trance. The experience
could not be pleasant one for she seemed to
breath with difficulty and pressed her head
with her hands as if in pain. Her part of the
program me consisted in going from one to an
other in the audience and delivering them
messages from friends in the spirit world.
These were delivered in SO low a tone of voice
that only those in the immediate vicinity could
hear. Several did not recognize their spirit
friends, but the lady who was presiding at the
melodeon stated that friends in the spirit world
often crowded so fast upon the view of the
medium that she was confused and could not
describe them to the person to whom the mes
sage was sent. Soon after the lady at the Or
gan had concluded her remarks, not very
pretty woman with profusion of auburn curs
stepped upon the platform, took off her hat
and shawl, and said that she would tell her ex-
perence. She spoke with the greatest readi-
ness and an abundance of gesture. She had
been medium number of years. and was at
that time engaged in the inculcation of the
truths of Spiritualism. She was from Boston.
where the cause prospered. In Portland it did
not flourish. She then declared that she was a
social reformer This class of spiritualists
were not understood. Some thought that they
advocated the breaking up of families. Such
was not the case. When she found trouble
between husband and wife, she sought out the
difficulty and by adjusting it, bound the family
together She got great knowledge from the
spirits. They called on her on one occasion
when she was preparing lecture for public
occasion on the political aspect of the present
crisis" They gave her all the information she
needed and then o5lgingly accompanied her to
the audience room and aided her there. One
lady said that the spirits wept-she had seen
them-when they could not make their friends
understand them.
