A New Industry.

Mr.. w. S. Dyer has recently invented a very
useful and convenient camp-stool which can be
manufactured and sold at a marvelously low
price. He has received orders for and con-
tracted to supply one thousand per day for the
next two months. The work is all done by
girls, there being about twenty-five engaged in
painting, vanishing, riveting, soldering, etc.
Six run sewing machines, which prepare the
canvas seats. Mr.. Dyer says girls can do more
work and better than the same number of boys.
This is certainly a new departure in this kind
of business.

Trial Trim of the Minnehaha.

At the invitation of Capt. Knowlton about
fifty gentlemen went down the harbor in the
steamer Minnehaha yesterday afternoon.
70 thosc wiIe were fortunate enough to be
present it was an occasion of great pleasure
The day was pleasant, the atmosphere being
tempered by clear, cool breeze. The little
steamer ploughed through the waves at a
rapid pace, and in two hours returned to the
pier after having rounded House Island,
touched at Diamond Cove, and returned by
way of the outside of Peakes' Island. Capt.
Knowlton was, as usual, courteous and enter
tanning.
The Minnehaha is a commodious and beauti-
full little steamer, perfect gem in its way.
She is supplied with all modern improvements,
will hold over 200, and has a neat cabin AS a
steamer for private parties she is all that can
be desired and will no doubt prov favorite
for those who intend to go down the harbor on
moonlight or fishing excursions. She will
begin her regular trips to-day.

The Portland School for the Deaf

Yesterday this school was open to visitors,
both morning and afternoon, and we are sure
that those who awaited themselves nftho or
portunfty thus afforded to visit the school and
make personal observation were not only salts
fled but delighted. We know not when we
have been more interested in school examin-
alton. The whole number of pupils at the
present time is twelve. The Oldest of those is
% years of age, the youngest four. -Four of
those have been members of the school three
years, and two of them but three months. The
school is in charge of Miss Ellen l.. Barton, as
sisted by Miss A. X. Shaw Miss Barton is
not only thoroughly educated in the best
methods of teaching this unfortunate class, but
is an accomplished lady with pleasing manners
and peculiarly well adapted to win the conf
dence and affection of her pupils Miss Shaw
though without special training for this kind
of instruction prior to her entering the school
as assistant, is acquiring knowledge by prac-
tic, and her services will become more and
more valuable with her increase of experience.
We commend the school to the confidence and
patronage Of parents and guardians of deaf
children throughout the State as place where
such children will be cared for tenderly and in
structed thoroughly

Portland & Rochester.

On and after Monday next the train on the
Portla nd & Rochester Railroad that now
leaves Portland at 100 p. m, will leave at
1910 p. m, and run through to Boston in five
hours, arriving at Boston at $40 p. m, making
connections with all diyerging lines. The
quickest time combined with the lower rates
via this route must succeed in greatly in
creasing its popularity.
The change of time also opens up a new
route to New York for the patrons of this
popular line, namely the route via Providence
and the palace steamers of the Providence
Line which avoids all carriage transfers and
nsures through connections.

SIG: In Your esteemed paper OF today find al

he makes me responsible Tor q newspaper report ot

the American Bible Revision COMMITTEE the fol-
lowing facts:
I-TLe American Billie Society has no official
connection aI;h the Bible revision now going or.
and can have none under It's present constitution,
which restricts u 10 the circulation Of the author
zcL version OF Eing James, as lar As the English

IL-TLc question as 20 what the American Bible
Society may DO al some future time with the ge-
vised version is premature, and not worth discuss

Ill The publication Of the revised version is IN
the hands of the English UuveTsty Presses. who
will no doubt make arrangements TO supply the
