Some time. since We gave an account Of
the building Of an immense dam across the
James river at Sand Lake, manifekly for
the purpose of flooding the large, tract OF
land lying in the bed::of said lake, Ind the
result which We then predicted is bsAlnnin5i
to be felt. u !

for the simple purpose Of conceaitng from

consider it a secret society. All we'll regu-
lated corporations and societies have their
private business, and the fact that they
maintain this'ptiyacy does not render them
secret organizations. For instance, l was al
one time an officer of a bank, and l took an

Art


Mr.. c. f. Davis has on exhibition, at his art
store on Elm ST., some paintings that call for
special attention from all art-lovers.
Weeks, whose "On the road to Fez'' attract
ed so much attention a short time since, land
which has been sold to Mr.. Malcolm F. Ham
mond for S225) displays a Moorish interior that
is worthy of close inspection. The picture is
delineative of a Moorish bear. The thick
adobe walls with their narrow pointed win
dows and arabesques, the heavy double doors
thrown open from the arch that separates the
outer from the inner apartments, all display
that strength and finish peculiar to this style
OF architecture The rich coloring of the arti-
Giles exposed for sale on the doors, and of the
stuff that can be seen piled up in the inner
apartment; the delicate tinting and exquisite
coloring of the pottery, are in striking contrast
to the background of the walls Perhaps the
feature which will enlist the greatest admira-
ton is the two Moorish figures, one seated,
the other standing. Both exhibit the indiffer-
ence and repose of the Oriental type in high
degree, while the faces are so admirably drawn
and painted as to be life like. The costumes
are historically correct. The tiled floor is also
NOllhy VI pidlSO. Liz OIL The picture
in places is little weak but that is a minor
defect when all else is so good.
Fred Kimball presents "View on the Saco'
in his best vein. At the foot of gently slop-
ing hill whose grasses have been somewhat
burned by the summers sun, runs the river,
almost brook just here, and as placid and
mirror like as a lake, its water overshadowed
by the dense foliage of noble tree. On the
other side of the brook, are the wild luxuriant
grasses that are always to be found in such To-
calities, and beyond them the woods fill in the
life background. The least praiseworthy part
of the picture is the sky, the blue being too pro
nounced in color, and the clouds not quite what
we could have wished.
Hewes exhibits little landscape sketch and
a small marine.
Kimball also displays pretty rural scene at
Stroudwater
7. Clarke Oliver, exhibits "Sunset on the
Beach,, a picture that in its representation of
golden light striking through the haze and
flooding the water, reminds one something of
Tilton.
Miss Skeele presents two portraits in the win
dow that are executed in her best STYLE The
lkenesses are said to be perfect.

Excursion to Burlington.

Portland Encampment, No. 10, /. o. 0. F.,
will go on their annual excursion this
year to Burlington, VT, leaving this city on
the I'D inst and will be gone three days.
They will be accompanied by Chambers
Band. The Patriarchs who intend joining
this excursion are requested to be at the hall,
in line in full regalia, at 7.30 a. m. sharp, on
the 22d inst. From Odd Fellows Hall the En-
campment will march to City Hall where they
will receive their invited guests, and from
thence march directly to the station where
they will embark on the a. m. train The
train will pass through the far famed White
Mountains and thence into Vermont giving
the excursionists glimpse of the Green
Mountains, arriving at Burlington at p m.
AT Burlington the Encampment will march
directly to their headquarters at the Van Ness
and American Houses. An elegant dinner
will be served Immediately after their arrival
such as the Burlington hotels are famous for
The evening will be spent in looking about the
city while Chambers Band will give concert
on the Park, and also favor several of the
prominent citizens with serenades The 23d
will be passed in viewing the objects of inter-
est about the city and sailing on the beautiful
waters of Lake Champlain. There will also
be a parade through the principal streets.
The Encampment will be nnder the mar
shalship of Patriarch j. A. Locke, with B. f.
Andrews as first assistant. We think our
Burlington friends will be pleased with the ap-
pearance of the Portland Patriarchs as they
embrace many of our best known and most
substantial citizens. Among the distinguished
gentlemen who will accompany the excursion
will be His Hon or Mayor Walker, Alderman
B. f. Andrews, ex-Alderman Winship Mr.. S.
R. Small, Councilman j. w. Robinson, ex-
Alderman Walker and Others There is no
doubt that this will be one of the grandest OK
cursons that ever went out from Portland.

The State of Business

The Auburn shoe factories were shut down
two days this week on account of the Fourth
of July. and the shipments are somewhat
smaller than last week. In all, 765 cases have
been sent off, and about thirty-eight tons of
leather have been received. Only 442 cases
were shipped in the corresponding week, last
year
The two shoe factories in Richmond, Morgan
& Dorr, and Hagar RIOS, are running now on
full time. 800 hands are employed in both.
There is a short supply of leather in the
market, so it has gone up in price. There is,
consequently, rise in the manufactured goods
which dealers are rather 10th to pay. These
two firms think business is pretty well out of
the slough of despond.
