The Speakership.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-

ership of the next House of Representatives is
gradually taking shape. Considerable effort is
being made for Mr.. Hiscock of New York, and
the idea of his friends is to combine on him
the votes of New England and New York
But while he may secure New York, the New
England votes cannot be so easily obtained
and new movement has sprung up. There
is now talk of combining all the new England
votes on Mr.. Reed of Maine. Mr. Reed is
thought to be wide-awake man, fit for the
place and Massachusetts members will proba.
bly, go for him. Should Mr.. Reed gain much
strength it would speedily put an end to the
movement in behalf of Mr.. Hiscock, who is a
lethargic sort of person, lacking the energy re-
qulsite to secure him so important place."

A Historic Shoe.

In the window of Browns shoe store on Con-
gress street, is an ancient shoe or slipper which
possesses great deal of historical interest 1t
was the wedding shoe of Madame Frye, wife
of Col. James Frye of Andover, Mass, who
was personal friend Of Gen. George Wash
ington and a member of his staff. The shoe
was worn by Mrs. Frye at the Inauguration of
Washington as President, and subsequently at
the Inauguration of John Quincy Adams, by
Miss Fletcher of Boston, a grand-niece of
Madame Frye and a niece of Daniel Webster
The shoe is now the property of DR.. Chadwick
of this city, who is great-grandson of Mad
anne Frye. The mate to the shoe and the bro
cade dress of the same material are in the pos-
session of other members of the family. The
shoe attracts much attention, although the
style does not differ materially from that now
in vogue.

Fourth Anniversary of Unity Lodge.

Unity Lodge celebrated their fourth ami
versary last evening with an entertainment
composed of music and dramatic readings, be-
fore an audience Of ladies and gentlemen that
seriously taxed the capacity of the spacious
Odd Fellows Hall. The programme, which
has previously been published in the PRESS,
embraced sixteen numbers and these were in
creased by encores to nearly a third more.
The marked event of the evening was the
debut in Portland, of Mrs. Louise H. Ingra-
ham as dramatic reader. Although the lady
belongs in this city, and has read elsewhere to
the great delight of her hearers, our citizens
have never before been favored, and it is only
just to her to say that she made decided hit
Mrs. Ingraham possesses tall, graceful figure,
with we'll poised head, and mobile features,
over which the lights and shades of passion
play in quick response to her emotions. Her
recitation of the "Court scene from Henry
VIIl.' was marked by dignity worthy of the
injured queen, an enunciation clear and pene-
trative, a voice of excellent compass and of
good depth in its lower register, under capital
command and flexible. Her gestures were
graceful and appropriate, and throughout the
Interpretation she exhibited a reserve power
rarely seen in public reader. The selection
was severe test and the lady stood it bravely.
Later in the evening she read Domestic
Scene," showing that she possessed not only
proper appreciation of fun but excellenfpower
of expression, and in response to an encore,
gave "The Newsboy's Story with al the ring
OF the street gamins. Her final selection,
"Sheriff Thorne," wasla happyEtermination to
her selections.
The audience were also favored with
pleasing rendering of ezra Luigi's Marriage"
by Mr.. F. W. Thompson, which was so well
received that he responded with an exceeding.
ly dramatic recitation of Wolsey's Lament.
Mr.. Prentiss Loring also gave humorous
rendering of the "Little Hatchet Story"
The musical numbers were charmingly rem
dered, and we regret we can only refer to
them briefly. Little BERTHE Webb's violin
solos, the Chopin Polonaise by Miss Annie S.
Littlefeld, the vocal solos by Misses Webster,
Ida Tarbox and Mrs Morrison, were all en-
cored, although Miss Littlefeld declined to
respond. The concerted pieces by the above
named ladies and Messrs. Hall and Follans-
bee, and the organ voluntary by Mr.. Farms
worth, all received the applause they so Justly
merited.
Messrs I. f. Clark P. F. Turner, HI. B.
Pennell, G. e. Davis and S. B. Kelsey are to
be congratulated on the brillancy of the even
ing's entertainment.

ion.
Montreal at the present time finds herself
restricted to only single connection with the
West, the Grand Trunk; but her merchants
evidently are looking forward to the time
when they may have five lines of railroad
reaching toward the Western country. These
expectations are based upon the South Shore
and Tunnel Company's line, to connect with
the Rome and Watertown, these being links
in trans-continental railway which II is ex-
pected will open line to the West in compe-
tition with the Grand Trunk. The Occidental
line via the Toronto and Ottawa road in con-
nection with the Great Western of Canada. is
another line from which considerable is ex-
Dected. By the Sault Ste Marie onne,tion
they expect to reach the great West via the
Northern Pacific and by means of the North
ern Pacific, If that is ever completed to meet
it.
These, with the Grand Trunk railway would
give Montreal i've through lines to the West
instead OF one as at present, and with the COM
pletion OF the Welland Canal upon an enlarg-
ed scale she promises to be no mean comneti-
tor for the trade of the West to and from
Europe. To the Eastward Montreal is in sum
mer independent of railways via the st. Law
renee, but in winter is dependent upon them.
Her present winter connections are Halifax
via the Grand Trunk and Intercolonial 843
miles, or via Occidental and Intercoloniai 76O
miles; to Portland, 297 miles; Boston via the
Air line, $50 miles, and via the Central Yer
mont about the same. Another line to St.
John, N. B.. is projected which will be longer
than the present ones to Boston.
Considering her situation. Montreal will up-
doubtedly largely increase her summer busi-
ness to Europe. New steamship lines will be
added to her present ones Boston, if our rail-
roads are only fully alive to the situation and
ample dock accommodations are provided, as
now appears likely, should make strenuous ef-
forts to secure in winter the steamship traffic
which will centre in Montreal during the
period of river navigation. We have made a
beginning in securing the Allan line the pres
ent winter: Another line sent us one steam
ship, but the want of proper dock facilities
has not tempted the line to repeat the experi-
ment. Before another winter, however, this
difficulty will probably be obviated. The fact
that Boston also has competing lin to
Canada West as well as to Montreal. and that
we have large and growing foreign com.
merce OF our own, are factors that should
count in our favor as winter port for the Do.
