The Cape Shore.

The other day well known Boston capital
ist, who was visiting Portland, remarked that
1T was mystery to him why Portland men of
wealth did not do something to increase the
summer business of Portland, make money for
themselves and adorn the city's surroundings
by means of facilities for reaching Cape Eliza
beth In the summer season. In fact, he said,
the beautiful sites in that vicinity, than which
the whole New England coast had nothing
finer, would then be readily bought and inn
proved by those who would seek them, by men
of wealth in other cities
The gentleman's iaea was that corporation
of wealthy men should purchase the Ocean
House, Atlantic House and Cape Cottage prop
critics, or such of them as they could obtain,
and establish narrow gauge railroad like that
between Pennington and Phillips, to run from
the city around the shore road to the Ocean
House and perhaps be extended to Old Or
chard. He thought such resorts as these on
the Cape would attract many more people if
they had railroad, than they do now, good as
their business is, and having such superior adj
vantages to Old Orchard he did not see WHY
they would not build up the shore road with
population that would far surpass that at Old
Orchard but be more permanent, since the resi-
dences at the Cape would be desirable from
May to November.

Old John Brown.

The FOURTH paper in the course of this asso-
citation was read by G. w. True last evening at
the library room of the Mechanics building.
The subject of Mr.. True's discourse was
Devotion to Duty" as exemplifed in the
tragic story of sold John Brown" the most
potential factor, IN the opinion of the essayist,
in precipitating that inevitable conflict and
mighty struggle-the war of the rebellion,
which resulted in the adjustment of Ameri-
can slavery. The man comes with the occa-
sion. We may be thankful that there is only
one John Brown in the century; but more
thankful that there is only one occasion for
such man. The speaker alluded briefly to
mis- early history, his royal lineage, being of
the sixth generation, in regular descent, from
one of the Pilgrim Fathers; passed in rapid re-
view the events of his later years, wildly por-
traying his distinguishing characteristics, his
earnestness and sincerity, his religious enthu-
siasm and. sense of duty, his blind and trusting
confidence in his own destiny, and, more than
all things else, his unfailing belief that he was
ian instrument in the hands of Providence"
The paper concluded with an account of the
closing scenes in this strange, eventful story,
and the reflections OF Froude in regard to a
similar character IN English history.

Additional Mali Facilities

We are glad to see the movement on foot in
New York and Boston to establish fast mail
train between the two cities additional to those
already provided. Postmaster James of New
York offers to aid as far as he can in establish
ing the trains. New England has received less
advantages in mail facilities than any other
part OF the country according to the Boston
Journal, and considering the important CON-
mercial and manufacturing interests of this
part of the Union, it would seem but proper
she should be placed on footing with the
West and South. 1t is proposed to put on a
fast mail from New York, leaving that city at
11.30 p. M, and connecting with the morning
trains from Boston for this city, SO as to dis
tribute the Portland mail from the metropolis
at 12.10 p. IN. instead of an hour later as at
present. This new train will not interfere
with the mails that are brought by those other
trains, but be additional. By the proposed ar
rangement ample time will be afforded to an
swer the letters by the return afternoon mail,
and, if a merchant is pushed, by the D. m.
train for Boston. We hope the new train will
be nut on
