Wafer Pipes.

The. new water pipes at the west end are to
be only six inches in diameter, as the
papers say. That size is not sufficient for fire
purposes, as such pipes could not supply fully
two hydrants nor two steam engines in full
acton, especially if the length of the six inch
pipes we're considerable, from the hydrants to
large connection. The friction of water in
passing through small pipes is very considera-
bic, as experienced fremen know, and the
books teach. The difference in cost between
six inch and eight inch pipe, would not be
much, because the expense of laying them
Gown would be almost the same in either case,
while the relative capacity of thetyo pipes will
be as 80 to 81, nearly twice as much for eight
inch, while the delivering power of the latter
will be more than twice as much as that of the
other. 1t is pity that when done, this impor-

NEXT Wednesday evening Mr. M. B. Gilbert
will open his term for ballroom etiquette and
dancing at Array & Navy Hall. Mr.. Gilbert
is an excellent teacher, and his school last sea-
son gave perfect satisfaction to the fine classes
taught. l. is seldom that an instructor is
found who is SO proficient in his ait and has at
the same time so pleasing manner of impart-
ing it to pupils. he is eminently deserving of
patronage, and those desiring to learn to dance
cannot do better than put themselves under
his instruction.

THE RETURN.
The ever considerate railroad authorities did
not subject the party to the necessity forced
upon the general public Portland bound, of ris-
ing to take the early five o'clock train, on Fri
pay, but fixed the hour of departure at eight
which hour and drizzly morning found the
party assembled, all having had comfor table
breakfast, except few, who loving the silent
watches of the night not wisely but too well had
oversight themselves, and been obliged to rush
off to the train with hollow hearts. The train
now took thea short cut across to Cambridge
Junction, and noon brought it to the pleasant
village of st. JohnsburY, where,a long line of
carriages had been sent sby the expectant citi-
zens, to bring the excursionists to their arms
and to dinner at the st. Johnsbury Hotel
While the dinner was preparing, the time was
improved by making visit to the art gallery,
a gift to the city by the munifcent Mr.. Hor-
ace Fairbanks. This contains collection of
fine originals, mostly by native artists includ-
ing Bierstadt's 70 Semitic Domes, Gifford's
Catskils, and fine pictures by James and Will
liam Hart, G. L. Brown, Cropsey, Lambden and
many other celebrities, the selection showing
fine taste well directed. After dinner the
guests were taken about in carriages to view
the town and to visit the Scale Works, where
Governor Fairbanks was ready to receive
them. These extensive works have been thor
oughly described in these columns heretofore
At three o'clock the party was once more
aboard the.train, and moving off amid the ex-
change of cheers with the st. Johnsbury PEG
pie, were soon speeding swiftly towards home.
which was reached at half-past eight making
the sixty.seven miles from Upper Bartlett to
Cumberland Mills in ninety minutes including
four stops. The arrangements throughout had
been excellent, and everything was carried out
exactly as planned. Gen. Anderson and Su-
perintendent Hamilton were untiring in their
efforts to make the party enjoy themselves, the
General, with his admirable tact, attending to
the comfort and convenience of everybody.
Messrs. Bedlow and Mllliken of the committee.
were ever watchful and thoughtful, while Mr..
81. W. Ripley, who had planned the trip, re-
ceived the we'll merited commentator of all.
On the whole the excursion was a most graf
flying success. 1t has been delightful relax
alton to large body of our citizens and has
given them the opportunity to see for them
selves the beautiful scenery of New Hampshire
and Vermont, about which SO much has bee
said-and yet, as every one of the party will
attest, its beauties have not received half JUS
tice. The cordially of the citizens of Burling-
ton meets hearty response from Portland
and the pleasant intercourse thus begun be-
tween the two cities SO recently made neigh.
bors will result in many agreeable reunions.

aces to the summit. Two or three miles away
to the right the Children's Home, a building
erected and sustained by charity from the state
at large, showed to fine advantage. Follow
ing the curves of the shore, the boat reached
the Adirondack side, where the bills were
plainly seen, covered with their rich autumn
foliage, and, skiIting the shore closely, leaping
from cliff to cliff on high trestles, the new
railroad, built at great expense and with costly
engineering to carry coal and brlng back iron
from st. John to the Hudson. 1t was re-
marked that some of the blasts CT nitro-gly-
cerine which blew these cliffs apart, shook the
windows in Burlington, ten miles away and
across the water. On went the boat, making a
grand sweep around the bay, until the dazzling
horizontal rays of the SIM gave warning that
the day was closing, and after final circuit of
the bre akwater, the boat drew up to its wharf,
and the crowd OF excnrsioniss lied the streets,
in carriages, or afoot, seeking their homes or
the hotels, all saying as they bade each other
good night, "What lovely excursionp' Many
of our party sought their rooms to watch the
setting of the sun bshnd the Adirondaczs, and
to wonder how far it was into tn ose mysterious
wilds of which Mr.. Murray d!scourses so low

sunsets, and, as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
said about readug, 'No entertainment is so
cheap orspleasure.so lasting;" the city is SO
situated that all can er joy them, aud the ele-
ment of permanency is one of their marked
characteristics. every RESIDENT" remarked a
Burlington lady, thinks his house commands
the finest view" A Burlington sunset is a
thing of beauty, and to be emembered, like a
sunset from Pleasant Mountain. 1t would be
pleasant to say something handsome for their
sunrise, but nothing was ascertained on that
| point. A notable feature about the city is the
| neatness OF the cheaper habtations. The OPP
eratiyes, generally French and Irish, mostly
! buy little patch of land, and procuring lum-
Der cheaply, build themselves cottages. These
little houses, with their gardens attached, have
look of thrift which is not to be found in ten
ement houses, and it certainly must add much
to the moral tone of the population. The wa
ter supply of the city is from the lake, whence
it is pumped into reservoir upon the hill, 2SC
