At the headquarters yesterday general order
No was received as issued by Department
Commander Collins of New Hampshire. He
calls attention to the National Eucampment
as follows:
Among the features of the occasion, it is pro-
posed to form an immense camp sufficient to
accommodate 10000 men. 1t is confidently
expected the department of New Hampshire
will have 5000 men in line ON the day of the
grand review. Contiguous Posts are already
forming provisional battaliong and have ap-
pointed agents to make arrangements, and
similar measures are recommended to be
adopted by all Posts in the department
Yesterday applications for quarters were re-
ceiyed from the following Posts:

Gen. Beal is busily at work looking up
tents for the encampmsnt. Owing to the
great number lost by the government during
the foods in the South, not much assistance
can be expected from that source, though all
available tents will no doubt be loaned. The
balance will be procured from the several
States.

The eclipse of the sun yesterday was
watched with much interest by great many
people. The observers were mostly provided
with smoked glass, although few had colored
eyeglasses. The eclipse began promptly as
announced at quarter past one, the shadow
coming on over the lower right hand quadrant
OF the circumference, and passing around the
disc, disappearing from point nearly opposite
to that at which it made its appearance. At 2
o'clock, the time of the greatest obscuration,

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE MASCOT,

Bennett & Moulton's Comic Opera Comps-
ny presented the "Mascot" at the Portland
Thestre last evening, and gave decidedly
pleasing entertainment. The soloists sustain
ed their parts very well, and the chorus as
general thing was good. This company has
been in most all parts of the United States and
always meets with good reception. OF late
there has been great demand for cheaper
prices at entertainments. 1t rarely happens
that an opera company gives cheap prices aHd
at the same time good entertainment. Benz
nett q Moulton's company give both. 1t is to
be hoped that their engagement at the Port
land Theatre this week will be successful, that
they may feel encouraged in this popular
move.

The general term of the New York Supreme
Court decided Friday an appeal in the case of
Emigration Commissioner Ulrich, who was in
jured in the Spuyten Duyvil disaster on the
Hudson River railroad in January 1882, that
as the passenger had bought seat in the par
lor car, besides having pass, the company was
liable for damages. The court holds that al
though drawing room cars on that road are run
by private company, it must be assumed
they are run for the benefit of the road, as
leave Of the road is necessary for permit to
use. Therefore Mr. Ulrich was not free pas
senger.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
The nIaine Central.

The Bangor Wing and Courier will announce
today on authority of f. Fl. Clergue, Esq,
that the Halifax dispatch relating to the allsg-
ed connection of the Maine Central railroad
with the plan for the completion of the rail-
ways OF Western Nova Scotia is incorrect in
almost every particular. The Maine Central
Railroad Company have no interest in the
matter except such as may result in business
way from the proposed connection. The fact
that proposal has been made to the govern
ment of Nova Scotia by syndicate in which
are several gentlemen who are also interested
in the Maine Central railroad may account for
the statement in the Halifax despatch.
