RAILWAY NOTES.
The Hassern-Maine Central Arrangement.

The Eastern-Maine Central Arrangeme Mt.
The new arrangement Of the Eastern Maine
Central Railroads will go into operation june
18th, and marks new departure in travel in
Maine and the maritime provinces, as it brings
st. John seven hours nearer Portland than 1t
has ever been before. This is done by what
the Bluenoses call the "hying Yankee" train
which leaves Portland each day at 5 p M,
Bangor at 10 p m, ST. John at $50 a. m. and
Halifax at p. m. That is, without change OF
cars and In Pullman one can leave Portland
at .. M, and be in st. job in eleven and a
half honrs-42 miles, Returning the flying
Yankee" will leave st. John at a. M, Ban
ger at ZOO p M, Portland $50 p. M, and ar
rive In Boston at 10 p. m. Portland and Hall
fax are only twents-four and half hours
apart by this change and Halifax and New
York are only 81 hours apart, with time for
meals and transfers. At one time it was pre-
dicted that the steam sbip-sick passengers on
arriving at Halifax would take the railroad
to Portland, Boston and New York to escape
the ocean. These fast trains will prove the
correctness of the prediction. The enterprising
management las prepared very attractive
excursion list for the season 1883. 1t embraces
every desirable resort in New Hampshire,
maine, new brunsWick and Nova Scotia, and
makes the excursion fares lower than any one
ever thought of a half dozen years ago.
Minor Notes.
1t is reported on good authority that the
Maine Central railroad has purchased the
Sandy River railroad.
The Eastern railroad will run an excursion
train between Portsmouth and this city on the
morning Of July Fourth, leaving Portsmouth
at 6.45 O'clock, and returning will leave Port
land after the celebration.
The Kennebunk x Kennebunkp port railroad,
which runs from Kennebunk station on the
Boston Il Maine road to Kennebunkport viii
lsge, will be opened TO public travel June 18th,
and thereafter close connection will be made
with all through trains on the Boston & Maine
road.

Home for AGED Woman.

The annual reception given by the inmates
OF the Home for Aged Women took place yes
terday. The home is in an excellent condi'
ton and the managers are to be congratulated
in retaining the services of SO devoted matron
as Mrs. Dawley. The addition which was
made year ago proves great comfort and
convenience Mr.. Storer's elegant grounds
and the garden of Mr.. Charles s. Fobes add
much to the surroundings OF the institution.
We noticed some neat fancy articles that the
inmates exhibited for sale The present num-
Der now in the home is twenty-five and many
are waiting for admission. A cordial invita-
ton was extended to the Friends to visit the
home on this occasion.

The Aldermen and the Circus.

To the Editor Of the Press.
I at first shared in the general resentment at
the apparently malicious effort of Mr.. Fore
paugh to doom our worthy Mayor and Alder
men to the lot OF ordinary mortals-to either
show their tickets or crawl under the tent with
the boys. But l learn that we have done the
great Snowman injustice, for have been cred
ibly informed that he was led to locats4lis cir
Gus outside the city limits for reasons entirely
non-personal and non-political, and that 10
wishes to be considered as in no way rejecting
upon the badge of significant and appropriate
design"
From our aesthetic view his explanation may
be considered satisfactory; but "soft words but
ter no parsnips," and | do not see as he has
remeded the real difficulty. Why does he not
send along the pasteboards? Something must
be done, and l would suggest that relief might
be obtained In this way: Let the PRESS receive
contributions to fund to be known as "The
Mayor-Aldermanic Dead-Head Pot" which
shall be used to provide our city fathers with
tickets to the only great show coming east this
season. The matter could also be mentioned
in our schools and day set apart for receiving
the coppers of the girls and boys.
am sure that many sof our citizens will be
glad TO contribute to this laudable enterprise,
aud, by the way, it may as we'll be understood
that should the receipts be more than sufficient
to procure the circus tickets the balance will
be used to give our venerable Mayor and AL
dermen free excursion up Salt river another
spring. Yours for philanthropy,

AFTERNOON.
There was very large attendance yesterday
afternoon at the devotional meeting, and ear
nest addresses were made by both men and
women speakers. One of the speakers told Of
case illustrating that providential interposi-
ton, or what seems TO be such, will oftentimes
effect what to finite wisdom appears we'll
nigh impossible. A little child who held the
firmest faith in the efficacy of prayer in emer-
gencies, was present at a confagration, when
the buildings of an important mission were di-
rectly in the path of the flames, and they
were generally regarded as doomed. Her
prayers for their preservation were unremit-
ting when her elders had abandoned all hops,
aGd, seemingly, they were answered. A sud
den shift of the wind arrested the flames and
the buildings were saved.
John Andrew jackson, freedman, gave in-
rc<sx ln4o. II. l..

followed by many others.

Friends on Oak street, concluded the edifyng
