MASSACHUSETTS, go far from being disgust
ed over the election of Ben Butler for gov
ernor, on Wednesday with pleasure saw Mr..
Albert Palmer, Democrat, elected mayorof
Boston by majority of 1000 over Mayor
Green, popular candidate who was chosen
year ago by combined citizens and Re-
publican movement. Mr. Palmer is not
only an sdherent of Gen. Butler, but bears a
political resemblance to him in having quit
the Republican party a few years ago when
he saw better opening on the other side.
Evidently there is no resction in Boston, and
there are not many signs of one outside OF
that city. In Worcester the Republicans
have a majority of forty-iour, in Newbury-
port one of seven, and in Salem one Of loS;

Thursday that though his visit was for pri-
vate business, he had given some attention
to the question of the proposed exposition,
and is of the opinion that New Orleans can
and will raise the necessary subscription OF
S5O0,000 within the next ten days. He has
called the matter to the attention of the va
rious Exchanges, aud in a few days an or
ganization will be effected through their
agency and an active canvass of the city will
be insugurated. He is confident that the
result will be the raising of the amount re-
quired TO secure the exposition for New Or
leans. One prominent dry goods merchant
told Col. Morehead that he would subscribe
5000 or more, and would undertake to raise
with full confidence of raising that amount.

HYATT SMITH.
A GOOD STORY ABOUT THE PREACHER COZ

GkLESMAH.
WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 16.--The Repub.
tcon says: "a good story, whether true or
not, is I'D of ]. Hyatt Smith, the Rspubli-
can of the Third IN. " district. Mr..
Smith is clergymao who was, thirty years
ago, pastor OF the First Baptist church, of
this city, and believes IN the virtue of prayer.
Smith was anxious TO secure an appTopria-
lion for public building in Brooklyn, the
place Of his residence, but feared the objec-
lion OF Holman, of Indiana. Al this time
il was the rule, as we'll as the cus'om, for the
Speaker to recognize smember through cour-
tety, and single objection provoked consid-
erstiou OF any proposed measure Hyait
bscame almost discouraged over his matter,
bur one day friend said to him, why don't
you arrange with the Speaker and bring up
your billP
why don't II" was the reply. sDo you
see that man? Why when the final judg-
ment is pronounced ON the Democrats, de-
part, ye sinners, into outer darkness" Hol-
man will calmly rise and say, L object No,
my friend, am a believer in prayer; will
wait"
A few days later Hyatt was recognized and
his bill passed without objection.
To the congratulations of his friends he
said: "Didn't tell you so2 don't wish
Brother Holman any harm. He is good,
conscientious man, But 1 did pray 10 have
him just sick enough to be unable TO attend
for one day, and my prayer was answered.

@IF Mrs. Lydia E. PInkham has not really
discovered the Eti1ir Vite, which the an
cient alchemists sought by so much patient
research and persistent experiment, her med
icine seems, at least, likely to command an
immense sale and universal popularity in
The future. If rapid progress and eminent
success furnish any basis for correct ludg-
ment, Mrs. .Pinkbam is most promising
competitor fer such honorable distinction as
he aIchemists failed to achieve.

The Railroads.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford road is doing large amount of freight busi- ness at present, the general merchandise transportation being in excess of what it was l year ago. A large amount of freight for the markets, consisting largely of tropical fruits and vegetables, is carried over the road daily. Sometimes as many as eight carloads of bananas are run through in day from New York for Boston. The fruit is loaded on the cars directly from the vessels, barges going used for taking the cars down the har- bor and back and is carried through without change.
 The Connecticut Western Railroad com pany is making extensive preparations for an anticipated heavy coal traffic this season. Forty large coal cars are nearly finished at the company's shops and forty more are to be built.
 The Housatonic Railroad company's pas- senger receipts for the seven months ending April 30th, 1882, of the present fiscal year show the large increase of $7,500 over the receipts for the corresponding time of the previous year. The beautiful parlor cars to be placed upon this line during the coming season will no doubt largely increase it's rev. enue. Appearances indicate an unprecedent edly heavy summer travel from New York city to the romantic Berkshire Hills, the Switzerland of America"
 Thirteen of the seventy five elegant new passenger cars for the New York and New Haven Railroad company are in the paint shop Fifteen additional ones are now on the stocks. The rehabilitated drawing room car Portland is about ready for travel
 Measurements have been taken for two new mail cars to go on the projected fast night mail.
 Next month the Newport and the White Mountain expresses will be put on.
 A car arranged and used only for the trans portation of shad is run on one of the Shore Line road freight trains.
