NOTES ON THE NnrHERLANDs.
Opening of the stoddard Lectures at
City Hail.

After all there is but one Stoddard. Stimu-
lated by his wonderful success, many others are
in the field with Illustrated lectures, who have
more or less merit, but the lecture of last eve
ming at City Hall recalled all the fascination OF
his former eloquence and made one realize
how little are others to be seriously compared
with him
The subject of the opening lecture last eve
ming was "Notes from the Netherlands" and
the large audience which, Notwithstanding the
heavy snow storm, greeted Mr.. Stoddard as he
stepped upon the platform were by him in turn
gracefully welcomed and happily compared to
friends who meet one on return voyage from
abroad. The subject itself does not give OPP
portunity for grand description, for the coun-
Try visited in Imagination is level and prosaic.
None the less, however, under Mr.. Stoddard's
skilful arrangement and selection of topics did
it prove interesting, instructive and enjoyable.
Beginning at Rotterdam, the characteristic
sights of Holland as exhibited in that and the
sister cities of Amsterdam and The Hague
were depicted in a manner that showed how
fresh were Mr.. Stoddard's memories of his last
summers jaunt. Near the Hague is Schever-
niger, its famous watering place, to which an
interesting visit was paid. Leaving holland, but
still continuing in the lower country, the audi
ence was taken to the Belgian cities of BRUCE 8
and Client. Of quaint and curious interest
One could hardly leave without visit to the
field of Waterloo, so filed with thrilling mem
cries, which inspired most eloquent perora-
ton to delightful lecture.
The illustrations, frequent beautiful and
managed with consummate skill, added not a
little to the marked success of the entertain
ment. There was one in the large audience
who will not be glad to renew their travels
With Mr.. Stoddard on Wednesday of next
week, when "French Castles and their Memo
ries' will be the theme A proportionate re-
duction in the price Of tickets for the remain
ing lectures has been made.

The Two Lights.

To the Editor Of the Press:
By the different combinations of color, in
tensity and interval of flash, the Lighthouse
Board is able to produce several hundred vari-
cites of lights. Place these lights side by side
in clear atmosphere, and an ordinary eye
could detect the difference as easily as it could
the shades of ribbon in box. But separate
the lights and most of these distinctions are
gone. A light of one order becomes light of
airy other order according to the distance and
the state of the atmosphere. In some wealth
er, like thick snow storm, even the differ
ence between white and red is lost, and in re-
gard to those lights whose distinguishing marks
are due to the length of interval between the
flashes, it is only necessary TO state that these
intervals vary from five to 100 seconds, and to
ask how many can count ten, fifteen, thirty OF
ninety seconds in the head. To time these in
tervals is in most cases difficult, and in othere
impossible. I have enquired among fishermen
ii it is the custom for either the captain or any
OF the crew to carry watch at sea- and I find
it is seldom if ever done. Their business will
not admit of it, Now to time the intervals of
flashing light by marine clock fastened to
the wall of the cabin or forecastle is very much
like John Phoenix observing the transit of the
sun across the bars of gridiTon. The facts
are mentioned to show that these distinguishing
marks are not as valuable as they are supposed
to be by the Lighthouse BoaId that the bulk
of seamen do not recognize lights by their
characteristics. Ask the first mariner you
meet the difference between flashing bite
light, flashing every thirty seconds, aud fixed
white, varied every thirty seconds by white
flash, or between flashing red and fixed
red fashingat equal intervals, you will fad
hat the difference exists principally in name.
Ii one light is mistaken for another it is quite
as likely TO lead vessel into danger as oat OF
it. On the exposed points of our coast not
many miles apart are two lights of the same
character but differing in the intervals of flash.
Could the sea give up its dead we might know
how many times these intervals hA ave been con-
founded Yet this is the system so highly
commended in Admiral Wyman's letter, aud
he would substitute one of The easily mistaken
lights for the unmstakable two lights at the
most i'm portant point on the coast.

Central and European & North American
Railroads during October were $4,000 in ex-
cess of the same month 10 1881.
The fourteenth annual report of the direc-
tors of the Knox g. Lincoln Railroad has been
issued. There was gain over the year end
ing Sept. 80, 1881, of 1872 passengers and
twenty-nine tons of freight, the small increase
in the latter being due to the great excess OF
ice carried in the previous year. The net
earnings of the road far the past year are
PSI, the increase over the preceding year
beng no less than S54,261 The general con-
dition of the road is better than fosua number

Patience was produced Monday evening with

The Lewiston Journal says: Mr.. and Mrs.
Boston, the step-f ather and mother of the lafe
Willis Ward, about whom the sensation in
Greene exists, have removed all the goods
from the restaurant on Main street, which
Ward owned They sold a part and carried
home part in their team The store has al
ready been let 10 another man a lunch bar.
Mr.. Boston said he did not believe the theory
that Willis was murdered and then placed on
the track all the money Willis took from the
shop, that night, was found on his person, and
he (Mr. BOstou) was sat isfied he had not been
robbed: moreover, Willis had previously
jumped on the cars while they were in motion,
aud taken rice part way home, as he evl-
IDENTIFY had attempted to do, the night he was
killed Mr.. Boston said Willis was a quiet
aud peaceabe young man who would have
had no quarrel with any body. Coroner Brooks
says the argument of. murder from the alleged
premises that no blood was found ON the
track is a mistake, as the body bled 1rofusely
Mr. Rowell, who was with him when he re-
moved the body, confirms this statement.

be left the restaurant and started for Leeds at
