RAILWAY MATTERS.
PORTLAND 8 oeDENsBuRe.

PORTLAND & oGDENsBURG.
The New Hampshire correspondent of the
Boston Globe says: 1.-THE announcement
that the directors of the Portland & Ogdens-
burg railroad had accepted the proposition
OF the Maine Central to lease their road will
probably be accepted by the stockholders,
the city of Portland owning controlling
amount. If this is carried out, the Boston &
Maine will finally get its trains into Fab
vans without getting possession of the Bos-
ton. Concord g. Montreal. Its passenger
trains over the old Eastern now come in by
special agreement, which it has sought to
have abrogated, but which has not been &C
complished. This will also give the Boston
q Maine an opportunity to make direct con-
nectlon with its Vermont system, by build
ing from the Fabyan House to SCOTS Mills,
distance of Is miles.
Or 1t may possibly run line from Fab
vans to Jefferson, there connecting with the
Whitefeld q jefferson road If this should
be done. they would have less than ten
miles OF new road to construct.
There Is no doubt that there will be quite
change In the railway business in this part
OF New Hampshire within the next two
years. 1t Is quite generally anticipated that
tDe decision OF the Supreme Court will be in
favor of the Boston, Concord g. Montreal
road in December, and in that event the road
would come in and extend its lines to ell the
principal places in the mountains

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
FIRST PARISH.


Rev. Roderick Stebbins, of Milton, Mass,
officiated at the First Parish church yester-
day. At the morning service he preached an
interesting sermon from the words, HE
commanded His disciples that they should
tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ"
The text of the evening sermon was taken
from st. John vi. 6S, "To whom shall we co. p
and the entire discourse was listened to with
great pleasure.
ST. LAWRENCE STREET CHURCH.
At st. Lawrence street church yesterday
Rev. DR.. E. Payson Thwing preached on an
exuberant life, from the words. 81 am come
that they might have life, and have it more
abundantly." Life gift. and life growth
its source, supply and enrichment; its posi-
bilities and privilege to the Christian and to
the church, were the salient points Illus
trated. Professor Thwing referred to the
thirty years of this church, coterminous
with his own ministry; to the tender scenes
of the revival of 1858, in which both histories
began, and paid tribute to the toilful men
who followed him in the pastorate, particu-
larly the present pastor, whose pen as well
as voice has been of service, as seen in his
recent historical monograph on the Cumber.
land congregational Association.

The Back Bay.

To the Editor of the Press =:
While our honored City Government are in
great haste to have the question of a lease of
the last yestige ofrailroad interests we have'
almost every citizen who likes to enjoy a
nights rest, when we are blessed with a cool
night so to do, cannot, on account of one
of the most outrageous unbearable nui-
sances that ever was, or could be, inflicted
on a person who pays taxes to live in city
If this nuisance was perpetrated by an indi-
vidual, the whole City Government, Board
of Health and police would be at his door be-
fore he was up in the morning and in all
probability he would be indicted. There
ought to be a way by which the citizens
could indict city for allowing this same
nuisance to continue. The nuisance to
which | refer and that the city of Portland
is allowing its people to suffer from, is Back
Bay. Now let them hurry the matter of
health along some, and let the p. g. o. train
go a little slow. The odor from those fats
last Saturday night was something awful.

Thev Cot Left.

About hundred people got left at Long
Island Saturday night, and were obliged tc
stop over until yesterday morning. The
Cadet, which was the last boat at night tc
call at the island for passengers, took Oh
board only few, and before the rest had q
chance to get on she cast off her lines and
steamed away, to the great chagrin of the
multitude on the dock. Those who got left
would like to know why the Cadet did moi
take them, and why the matter as it now
stands is not breach of contract on the
part of the steamboat company.

The predictions Of the Atkinson
House Furnishing Co., at this time
are that everybody will go visiting
this Fall. Your husbands will be
speaking on the tariff, and either
favOring the election of Cleveland

each one of your sons will be wis.,
iting your neighbours sons, and
talking up the good qualities of
Mr.. Burleigh or Mr.. Putnam for
Governor. This of course means
a great deal of visiting. 1t also
means visiting delegations from
other Counties, and Statesmen of
renOwn from other States. Now
who is there among you that does
not require new Chamber Set
for the spare room, a new Parl0r
Suit for the parl0r, an odd easy
chair for the eminent Statesman,
new Carpet, new Oil Cloths, a new
Range to tempt their appetites af-
ter their long open air speeches.
Lace and Drapery Curtains make
room look cool and habitable i'm
the hot weather, and a thousand
and one other articles of house
furnishing that go to make a
home look pleasant and its Occu-
pants happy.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this "neryeus trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member a few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively UNKNOWN Ito day it is as common
as any word in the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria intended TO COW
er what our grandfathers called Bilousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the Liver which in performing
its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
II off through the system, causing nervous troub.
les, Malaria Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate cure. We recommend
Green's August Flower. Its cures are marvellous,
