STATE OF MAINE TEACHERs.-The Boston
Traveller has this to say about Maine teach
ers:
The cause Of education is receiving a new
impetus in the state of Maine. Many Of her
teachers are ''called" to other states, Massa-
chusetts having large share, while Boston
counts as among her best instructors those that
come from Maine. The recent Maine State
Teachers Association meeting at Lewiston has
revived the interest and renewed attempts will
be made to offer sufficient inducements to keep
competent teachers at home. The New EGG
land Normal Association, recently organized in
Boston, comprising the principals Of the differ
ent State Normal Schools, recognized the value
of the services of the principal of the East
era Normal School at Castine by electipg him
President. Mr.. Fletcher is strong man and
is doing noble work in training the young
people in that portion of the state for the i'm.
portant profession of teaching. The state OF
Maine is reaping the benefit Of this work.

MAINE STEAMSHIP CoMPANY.-The annual
meeting of the Maine Steamship Company was
held at their office on Franklin wharf yesterday
morning. There was very full attendance,
President Bailey presiding. The election Of
officers was postponed until future meeting.
The statement was made that owing to the
great fire in 1873, which destroyed so much of
the company's property, and the subsequent
opposition from the Cromwell line, debt had
been incurred which it was necessary to wipe
out.
A committee con- posed of Messrs. Philip 81.
Brown, w. X. Wood and w. L. Putnam was
appointed to get the consent of the stockholders
to an assessment in proportion to each ones
amount of stock to cover the Indebtedness, said
committee TO report at an adjourned meeting to
be held in two weeks.
1t is generally understood that all the stock
holders will favor this plan. If they should
not, It is thought that the property will have to
be sold at auction to pay the deb, and will
probably be purchased by some of the present
stockholders and new company formed

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST;
We chronicle the success Of an expert
ment made here in lowering boats from
the canal dowa into the Potomac, a
height of thirty-six feet, by means of
machinery, instead Of the usual old
fashioned lock. The mills of George
town are so extensive that the entire
capacity Of the canal is taken in supply
ing them with water, hence the ordi-
nary outlet lock is impractieable. Pat
terning after a lock in Scotland, the
citizens of Georgetown resorted to ma
ehinery, aud have met with deserved
success. a track Of heavy railroad iron
is laid on an inclined plane, extending
from the level Of the canal down iE.o
the river. on this runs an iron box, or
caisson, supported by strong car tracks
large enough to contain canal boat
which is flOated out into it from the
canal. There, by means Of an immense
capstan, rugged with heavy wire ropes
and operated by large turbine wheel,
the caisson is easily lowered, with a waste
Of water probably not one-thousandth
part of what the ordinary lock would
require. Boats are lifted quite as easily
from the river up into the canal by s
reverse process.
Our colored people are taking step
to relieve themselves from the pecuni
airy burdens imposed by their charItabl,
societies. It is simply wonderful th'
number Of associations they have, anC
