It has plot enough for half a doxeu strong romances; it is written with crispness and simplicity and in pure and nervous English; its morality Is orthodox; Its scene and characters are wholly novel and unique, and the interest is one cun loving virtue more, pitying distress, abhorring injustice and detesting vice. It la one of the few American novels which, while intensely romantic, Is lofty in its aim, eloquent and uoble in its argument, and healthy and refining in its effect. It is terised throughout by the highest dramatic sold by all Booksellers. Hailed, post-paid, by the Vnb- iisher ROBERTS BROTHERS.

A IleariisK Before the Harbor and Land aurt llailrond Finns of Various Iinilroads, lite. An adjourned hearing upon the petition of Edward Atkinson and others in behalf of the BostCti and Northwestern Railroad Company, and the order of the House that the Commissioners consider the subject relative to railroad connection with the Commonwealth flats at South Boston, was given before the Railroad and Harbor and Land Commission, sitting in joint session the rooms of the former on Wednesday morning, Judge Russell presiding. Mr. C. F.

Choate was to have explained the plans contemplated by the present railroads which run near the flats, but in his absence Mr. T. K. Lothrop gave a brief sketch of the plan of the New York and New England and Old Colony Railroads with regard to utilizing these flats. The cost of the road proposed by Mr.

petition would be very great, still that did not affect the granting of permission to construct the road. The objectionable features of the plan as proposed were tno using of other tracks by the engines and cais of this road, and the Use of so many grade crossings. The plan of the Old Colony Railroad, and the New York and New England Road acting with them, was that this great expenditure was useless and could be obviated by a small expense. The Old Colony contiollcd the Boston, Clinton and Fitchburg, which connects with the Boston and Albany, New York and New England, Hoosac Tunnel and oilier roads, and could be made, by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars, to handle all the freights for the Commonwealth flats tor years to come. The two roads in question had considered the plan in detail and came to the conclusion that they could, at a slight expense, do all the work which this proposed road would do, for many years to come, and at a far less expense.

It is I he interest of the New York and New England Railroad to develop the llatsas much and as soon as is possible, and both roads could aid in the proposed scheme and benefit the State at the least possible expense. In reply to questions asked by the Commissioners, Mr. Ixitbrop stated that he did not know that trade bad been turned away from lines of steamers here in default of proper deep water terminal facilities. He thought the reason the plan had not been carried out before was the ban! times cutting off profits in all directions and making an outlay for new roads inadvisable. The reason the Boston and Albany Road had gone to East Boston for their terminal facilities was because they could get them cheaper there than they could connect with their flats in South Boston.

He thought the plan proposed by tlie Old Colony Railway would build up a trade South Boston which might, by-and by, make the plan proposed by Mr. Atkinson advisable, winch now, in the present state of trade and the flats, it was not, on account of the great initial expense. A discussion between Mr. Willard P. Phillips of the B.oaid of Ilaibor and Land Commissioners ana Mr.

Lothrop about the feasibility of the plan, and in regard to the number of trains, number of grade crossings, feasibilities of engines of different roads using the same tracks, ensued. Mr. Lothrop thought the subject could be best managed by a general law and not by a special charter. The dis cession also embraced the right of the wealth to grant special charters which were held bv their owners, the roau not being built, but the owners of the charter bciug jealous of their rights being violated, and other facts and theories about railroad legislation. Mr.

Phillips stated that he had known of steamers which wanted to come to Boston being forced to go elsewhere for lack of proper terminal facilities in Boston, such as could lie turnisiied by connection of the South Boston flats. He thought that if the flats were to be developed there must be a ginning made some time, and it would take some time to carry out any plan for doing it. Mr. Lothrop though! connections could be made bv existing roads to develop the flats enough for all present needs in a few months. At the close of this discussion the hearing was finally adjourned, unless Mr.

Choate desires to be heard, in which case a further hearing will be held for him, and also to hear any who wished to answer him. City Hall Holes.

A Bed Letter Day for Fashion YVhnt to Wear and How to Wear Openings at K. A and Other Flac.es. There has been nothing like it in Boston. There may be something to equal it in the future, but that is quite a matter of doubt to all those who visited the opening at R. H.

White ft Wednesday. It was, without exception, the most brilliant display ever given in the city, a nd the firm may settle back upon the laurels they have gained. To get inside one had to pass the window, but how to get past it. It held one spell-bound with its beauty, and made her quite content to take what was inside for granted so she could look and admire as long as she chose. Bnt policemen were inexorable, and other were waiting to look and admire, and with a sigh the unwilling one passed on.

But not until she had looked so long that she carried the picture away with her of a wide high window, di vided by lace draperies into three compartments like a suit of looms. In the centre a large fountain played, and the sparkling water in the baBin flashed back the mossy banks and the tropical plants, while water lilies danced od the surface and all were re fleeted in a huge mirror which formed the back ground. In the other compartments garlands of flowers hung trailing 10 the floor from the very top of the high windows, and stands of cut flowers stood in the centre of each compartment. Here the most elegant and delicate of the costumes were placed, sheltered from the dust and yet fully open to the view of all the passers-by. It was lovely, aud a new departure in window dressing.

Among the cos tumes was one in gold color, which was elegance itself. In the light it glittered as though it were voritable cloth of gold. Another elegant costume was in shades of coral silk; the petticoat was of pale pink coral with train of the same. Around the edge was a fine pleating laced by a net work of coral pink beads. The draperies aud body were of coral red edged with a fringe and net work of coral side with this was a very distinguished dress black sat.n, plain and polka dotted, made very simply a princess sbape.

It was exceedingly st) lish and graceful. Inside the exhibition was uo less elegant. Most of the costumes were made in the house, but they positively could not be dLstin- guisbed from the French creations by which they were surrounded, so well had the modistes caught the spirit of these Fieuch models. One very peculiar dress from was a combination of black silk and plush, with the entire front heavily jetted. Au odd cosmme.

made at tlie house, was in ihe Louis XIV style. It had a petticoat of peach-colored silk, train of the same, polonaise of ruby-colored velvet, with paDiers edged with point duchesse lace. A very elegant walking costume was in black silk, combined with brocade black and old gold. Heavy fringe, introducing ihe colors, finished the drapery. A pale blue silk aud brocade, with uo trimming except itself, was very much admired on account of its extreme simplicity of style.

The garments, which vveie very elegant, were mostly in the dolman shape, nnd were shown in black, gray and drab; the black ones were trimmed with jet, and the light ones with deew-colored fringes and fronts. The most expen- give ones were in embossed velvet, and from that tbev went through every grade of fabric to plain wools. But there was little variation in shape, and all ere graceful in the extreme. THE DISPLAY UNDER CALCIUM. The event of the opening was a calcium light exhibition in ilie evening.

Brilliant as was the display by day, it was doubly so in the evening by this light. It was visited by thousands of people, and the street in front of the store was fairly blockaded for a while, so close was the crowd trying to get a peep into the lovely windows. Mrs. J. Contrary to her usual custom, Mrs.

Grace issued no cards of invitation this year, but made a general invitation, which as as generally accepted. Hundreds of ladies visited the establishment during the day, aud the courteous saleswomen had their hands full in attending to thcwantsof the visitors. Mrs. openings are always successful, if one may count success by the number of sales made, and this year was no exception to the rule. Many of the choicest things were sold early in the day, but enough re- mainecLto show what the busy bands had been doing.

It is only fair to say that the prettiest and most wearable bonnets were made under Mrs. own supervision, and owed none of Ibeir beauty to the supitosably infallible French milliner. There were French things and copies from other French models, but after all, those made the house earned off the palm. The absence of flowers was very noticeable, scarcely any being shown; but ilieir place was taken by leathers, birds, and handsome ornaments of jot, gilt or cut steel; the fancy for Brazilian beetles seemed reviving, and they were seen on many of tbe hats; well, these are au improve- meni on the ugly brown beetles which riggled thiough the summer on some of the bonnets. A verv striking bonnet from Eugenie Pariaet was iu nioslic plush, which had the brim abruptly raised, and held iu place by a scarlet satin bow; the trimming was of inostic satin ribbon, and plumes of the same color.

A home hat of black velvet, which was very stylish, had the brim raiseu ou one side and filled with jet tipped marabout the other side was dented in several piaees, and the entire edge of the brim was finished with jet satin loops, aLti a group of soft plumes completed the bonnet. A jaunty little affair for a young girl was a striped blue Batin a nd chenette iu the becoming capote shape; it had a soft crown and close brim, and was trimmed with a of plain blue satin and blue plumes. An eciu felt bad ilie uplifted brim faced with a shirring of biue velvet, edged with gold colored pipings of satin; the trimming consisted of gold colored plumes, and a group ot gold aud impian birds. A dainty tittle aflair trom Mine. Barbier, had a shirred black velvet brim, and crow composed entirely of so.t ostrich tips, in the centre of which was an elegant jet ornament.

It was odd and extremely pretty. Tlie Bunquet, II was the most Datural thing in the world to cross from Mrs. to flraost opposite, and that was the route which all the ladies look. was the jireUiest do you say? Ah! do you remember the old song which happy could be with either, Were other dear charmer And that is the case with openings. One any prettier than another, only all differ.

While they are alike in general features, they differ in the details, and the wonder which one feels after running the gauntlet of all ilie exhibitions, is that so many varialions can be played upon one style. Two lion nets devoid of trimming are exactly tell one lrom the other; bnt when the trimming is well on, there the least similarity. i dd, it, yet it may be set down as a truth iu the millinery mystery. The same general features here as elsewhere, predominance of color, absence of flowers, profusion of feathers, many beads, rather small, close slopes, little lace trimming, and the outside trimming gracefully disposed in drooping styles. A very pretty white felt had thcopeu brim faced with blue shirred velvet, cdgid with pipings of gold color; tbe outside trimming consisted ot blue bows, and blue and gold-colored plumes.

An uncut velvet in two shades of garnet, the basis bright garnet and the pile a dark snade which was almost black, was trimmed with loops of satin ribbon and a group of red aud yellow bmls. Avery pretty effect was made by a garnet velvet with a shirred lacing of cameo-colored silk; plumes of the two shades and cameo ties completed the hat. But. the beauty of the entire collection, the one thing logetlier was a black satin bonnet with the crown embroidered in jet, and a double fall of jetted lace about ihe brim three soft black plumes finished Hus exquisite bonnet which was one of the most becoming shown. Joaquin A Uo.

Temple place was overrun why not, since at nearly every millinery establishment on the street was an opening. If they only all come at once, but the use of protesting, a habit they have fallen into, and they will do it, so one might as well submit in silence. The first thing which we noticed on entering this store, which has become one of the most popular resorts in the city, is the enlargement. A large sjiace has been let in at the back, giving some of the much needed room, but not enough yet. A new department has been added, which ill add to the attractiveness of the store, and will meet a want much felt.

This department will be devoted entirely to hats, and all the new and best styles from London will be kept there. There are some very pretty styles on exhibition now. and little hats will be included in this department, and there will be a wide latitude for choice. The exhibition rooms were, as usual, crowded all day, and very much admiration was expressed for tlie display, hich covered all the leading shapes, both French and English. It is a fact worthy of recording that the small, close shapes are highly favored by Parisians, and that the majority of the bonnets coming lrom there are in those shapes.

From England, ou tho contrary, come the large brimmed bats, which are an outgrowth of the Gainsborough. These bats are in high favor in London, and seem to be cons dered a necessary accessory of the artistic style which is sought in dress. A very handsome bat of this shape was in gray beaver, with the wide brin; uplifted on the side and trimmed with gray satin ribbon and plumes. A novel shape is called ihe and is exclusively an evening is a modification, ot to be more exact, an amplification of tbe old Like it, it has no covers the top and sides of the head, leaving tlie beck exposed; it is higher than tlie having a decided diadem eflect in Ihe front. One of the bonnets of this shape was of satin autique, with a fall of jetted lace over tlie brim; the trimming is of black plumes.

Another in the shape lias a similar jetted brim, with fall of jetted net-work over tlie hack of the head. A long black plume tails on either side, following the contour of the head; on the top a bow of bronze gold satm ribbon and a butterfly of brown feathers. A inunty turban had the crown entirely of rainbow heads, with the brim of impian feathers, with the head in front. This was a very showy hat, and one that would be very beoomiug to a young, fresh face. Another elegant bonnet had the crown made of coiling black feathers, with an elegant root of foliage in tlie centre; the brim was close and heavily jetted; this was very lady-like and dignified and very rich.

There as also a fine display ot white and other light bonnets for evening, but want ot space forbids description. 4'iwhninn Wight. This house has made a new departure in the addition of trimmed bonnets and lmts. They have always kept millinery goods, and have made a very prominent feature of them; indeod it has been a favorite shopping resort for ladies who do their own bonnet makiug and they are not a now they have the added advantage of seeing models. The room on the basement floor has been very prettily fitted up, and makes au exceedingly pretty show room.

The opening yesterday was very well attended, and the visitors expressed themselves well pleased with the exhibition. '1 he shapes are like those at the other houses, and the hats are very prettily and modestly trimmed. The room was made additionally attractive by stands and baskets of flowers which were lavishlv dts played. Madame Demorest. The opening of patterns is always an event to the maternal head of a family, and she watches for the appointed flay with a great deal of interest.

She always gets so many good ideas, so ranch that is useful to her in her getting ready her own wardrobe and those of the little ones about her. To Madame Demorest these ladies look, and her openings are a semiyearly event in ihe world of fashion. One ponders much at the artistic combinations in tissue paper, which look so pretty and stylish, and which Jgive such accurate ideas of how things ought to look hen they are finished. In examining the styles as shown at the yesterday, the supremacy of the jiolonaise walking costumes was one of the first things noticed. It is in ilie panicr shape, and generally with the Marguerite back which is so universally becoming.

An odd fancy was exhibited in a train which could be fashioned into a dress, so that one gown would make two by this simple addition. This is a very convenient fashion tor those persons who cannot afford two dresses and who need both a short costume and a train dress for more formal occasions. Madame publications, to and were on sale, and they give many valuable hints on the subject of dressing. The openings will continue through to-day. Harvard Notes.

A Heception aad Dinner Bev.

T. J. Saw- the Severe House by yer at the Murray Clwb. A complimentary reception and dinner was tendered on Wednesday evening at the Revere House to the Rev. T.

J. Sawyer on the fiftieth anniversary of his entrance upon the Christian ministry. The affair was managed by the Murray Club, although there were many persons present who were entertained as guests or who came in to enjoy a pleasant occasion. The ladies and gentlemen assembled at 4 tfclock in the junior. which had been reserved for tbe occasion, and tastefully decorated with flowers, ferns, and viues.

An hour was spent social conversation, introductions, and congratulations, and ai 5 the party entered the ordinary, where tables were tastefully and elegantly spread for about 100 couples. Nearly every seat was occupied, and the company was a gay and merry one. The divine blessing was invoked by Rev. Dr. Whlttemore, and the viands of the table were then enjnyed to the satisfaction of everv one- 61 r.

Edwin Alexander called to order, and said they had met to commemorate the completion of fifty years of continuous active service id the Universalist even! important lo them both as individuals and as a religious bodv. On September 17,1629, in the town of Winchester, New Hampshire, at the regular session of the Universalist Convention, a service of ordination was held. Nf those who participated but two now survive. One was their honored guest and the other was ltev. Russell Streeter, who was unable to be present, but had sent a letter expressing sympathy with this gathering.

In conclusion he intro duced Prof. W. G. Toucey ot Tufts College as toast master lor the occasion. Prof.

Toucey made a brief address upon the noble past and great future of Uni versa lism in America, and then read a letter from Rev. i. M. Atwood or Taunton, in which that gentleman said it was not the length of Dr. term of service that had made him dear to Universalists, but the other two its breadth and depth.

The best thing lie could wish Dr. Sawyer was also the best thing he could wish tbe iratcrnity-lhat he may have the honor and happinesB lo na up many men who will remnble their instructor iu the solidity of their character and acquirements, in their varied usefulness, and in the cheerful serenity with which they shall go down into the evening of life. Rev. Dr. Sawyer was introduced as sometime the Hercules, now the Nestor, ot the Universalist Church.

Dr. Sawyer referred happily to the great ordeal through which he was passing, and asked what he had done that they should conter ibis honor upon him. He felt the more grateful at this gathering because he was only a kind ot alien in Massachusetts. New York was the scene of all lus earlier ai more efficient labors, aud he supposed such a gathering as this there wou'd be a compliment from those who knew him better and might appreciate him less. He sometimes thought himself very happy to have lived in this age and generation; and again he sometimes felt that he was born fifty years too early when he saw how much better young men are equipped for the ministry than he was.

And as for churches, be never preached in a church worth more than $14,500, while nowadays Univeraahst ministers preach in churches worth trom to $3,000,000. In his day the rank and file of ministers were ordinary men, but there were a few who stood head and shoulders above the rest. Among them was Father Ballou, who received a salary of only ffOO a year. Since then he had seen many jiopinjays command two anil three times as much because they had the power of gab. Concerning educational institutions, he said it was a long while before they had any schools of any account.

At the present time, however, the organization is verv good and needs only that the muscles and uetvous tissues shall he put upou it. If there was anything on v. Inch they should congratulate themselves upon, il was the belter aspect of their theology, a more consistent, more harmonious and more beautiful form; and the other fact that Orthodox and Umver- salist are rapidly approximating to each other, and roav vet meet on common ground. In conclusion he ished those present all the health and happiness they desired, and hoped that when he had completed another half century they ould all be there to participate in the celebration of the event. The second toast was, Songs of our and Prof.

Toucey said that from the literary point of view Mrs. Sawyer ought to respond, but he did not dare to violnte the rules of the club, aud therefore called upon Rev. Henry C. Leonard of Cape Ann, the pastor, who read a short poem appropriate to the occasion. Rev.

J. 51. Pullman, D. York, responded for Orchard Street the pioneer of our faith and the mother of He gave an account of the ill ot Uuiversalism in New York, and gave Dr. Sawyer the credit of laying the foundation lor it.

Other addresses were made and the affair passed ofl itli grace aud elegance. Among the prominent gentle men present were Hon. Henry B. Peirce, Hon. Newton Talbot and Rev.

A. A. Miner. TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE, Monthly Meetings of the Executive Committee Discussion of Allegiance to the Third The Executive Committee of the Massachusetts Temperance Alliance held its regular monthly meeting at Wesleyan Hall Wednesday forenoon, Rev. Joseph Cummings D.

of Maiden presided in the absence of Rev. Dr. Miner, and prayer was offered by Rev. Win. R.

Clark, D. D.t of East Boston. The see retary Charles A. Jlovey that the amount ot $750, to pay the debt of the Alliance hail been subscribed but not all paid in. The report of S.

Wr. Ilodgcs, treasurer of the Alliance, was that $816 06 had been received, and that the same amount had been exjiended during the past four months. Rev. Joshua Gill of South Framingham offered the following resolution. Resolved, Bv the Massachusetts Temperance Alliance, that while we believe most radically in the enactment and enforcement of a strict prohibitory law in this Commonwealth, at the same time we recognize the entire tionesty of purpose and fidelity to this principle of those of our number who do not yet see their duty to support the so-called third party.

Moses Gragg, S. W. Hodgc-s and Rev. A. G.

Sargent opposed the resolution. Mr. Cushing offered a substitute which asserted that the Alliance had never impugned the motives of its members who had not supported the third party. Rev. Dr.

Clark presented substitute declaring that it is not inconsistant fora member of the Alliance to vote far a Prohibitory candidate outside the third jntrty. Mr. Hodges was opposed to the resolutions on the ground that the Alliance should not pledge by implication, to snpport any party. He declared that he could not be a good Republican without being a Prohibitionist. Mr.

Gill said be was a member of the third party, and lie knew there were license men in the Republican tanks and Republicans in the Alliance who voted for Thomas Talbot. He wished to have the Alliance kept clear of the two parties of the State. Mr. W. H.

Colcord said that he was opposed to the resolution because it recognized the consistency of Prohibitionists in supporting men who will not lift their finger for Prohibition. There is not a man here who is authorized to say that John D. Long he is a Prohibitory man. Tbe influence ot a man like Thomas Talbot, who last year refused to say one wont for Prohibition, is a thousand-fold worse than tfiat of such a man as 51ichai 1 Doherty. The Republican party is a fraud, because it itself the priucijile that serves the Lord ana tlie devil alike, and vet we say that they are in our favor.

I stand here to question tlie honesty of Hon. John D. Long as a Prohibitionist. He will not raise a finger or wag his tongue in tlie interest of prohibition, and any Prohibitionist who votes for or for any other candidate not in lavor of prohibition, is inconsistent in his professions. The ot Mr.

Gill was finally The question of letting desk room in the headquarters of the Alliance to the managers of the Prohibitory party was referred to the Advisory committee.

It has been transiormed into an concert hall, principally by the removal of tlie eltvated platlorius and the earthwork, aud by the laying of a handsome floor over the entire space.

Whitmore, the chairman, stated that only routine business had been done by that committee, as it had been somewhat difficult to get a quorum present. A delegate asked if Hon. William D. Park had been elected a member of that committee from Ward TeD. Mr.

Mr. J. H. of Vi ard Sixteen said that the chairman ot the committee had been ill and unable to attend to the matter. Mr.

Isaac Hull Wright was called to the chair, and President Doherty made a pertonal explanation in regard to his acuon in ordering a new election of delegates in Ward Fifteen. The first meeting did not succeed in making an election, and he felt it to be his dutv to order anew election.

If he had made a mistake lie desired to have it corrected, but if the gt neral committee believed his action was right they say so. He did not desire to take sides in the controversy, but he did desire the success of the IJf mocracy ot South Boston. Mr. Hughes of Warn Five moved that a new election be ordered in the ard, and that a committee of three be appointed to supervise tbe election. An amendment was offered to refer the whole matter to tbe executive committee, with lnstrucuons to report hack to general committee before October 22.

Mr. Reddy of Ward Ftfteeu moved lo indefinitely postpone the whole subject. The motion to refer to the executive committee was adopted, 63 to 15. A motion was made and unanimously carried to exonerate the president from all blame in the matter ot the Ward Fiiteeu caucus. THE PRINTING COMMITTEE.

President Doherty announced that he had appointed Mr. John F. Dever on the Gommit- tee in jilace of Mr. S. A.

B. Abbott, who declined to serve. Adjourned, Dr. Eddy The Rev. D.

V. Eddy, of Hyde Park, who was tendered the nomination for the Governorship by the iecent Prohibitory State Convention, has accepted that candidacy expressing his compliance with the wishes of that body, to its officers, in the follow ing communication: To A. A. Miner, President, nnd Charles A. Hovey, Secretary to tlie Pronibitory Convention of Massachusetts: entlemen Your letter, informing me of my nomination as the Prohibitory candidate for Governor is at hand.

Without doubt the paramount question now before the people of this Commonwealth is that which relates to the supjiression ot the liquor traffic. All otlur issues dwindle into insignificance compared with it. It touches alike tho industrial, educational, moral and religious interests of the whole community. It is as important that Massachusetts homes should be protected from rum, violence, life made safe, and crime abolished here, as that political out- lagos should cease in LouHutoa. Tlie life of a white man in the old Bay State is as sacred as the life of a negro in South Carolina.

The rum traffic does more murder, violence, wrong, makes more sorrow and misery, up mure homes, produces more poverty and debauchery in this State alone, than does all the violence of the entire South. In the presence of such au evil, mere party strife is pitiable, aud a mere wrangle about men and offices becomes contemptible. At present yours is the onlv party that represents the temperence Idea, or that contemplates any war on tlie Liquor traffic. You stand alone among political organizations in your denunciation of the gigantic crime of and drunkard- making to Your voice alone is certain aud unequivocal on this grave question of the hour. The platforms ot other parties ignore or evade prohibitory issues, and their candidates are silent in the presence of the greatest wrong known to man.

1 lie Prohibitory party stands as the Christian protest against the debauchery and corruption which roust result legitimately from ttie liquor traffic; against the licensing of crime, by which the State assumes the guilt and takes upon itself the infamy, and the hopelessness of the minority which you stand makes your protest more si'blnne. The duty ot the Prohibitionists is to hold linn and push public opinion up to the highest stand-. jKint of public conscience, until the great auce sentiment now existing in ihe assort itself, be heard and manifested and cause parly leadets to make the policy of the State. '1 hat ouc votQ small does not make it less important. A cast for principle always counts.

An oyerw jelmiug majority is thrown away unless sotncUuig beyond nitre party success is secured, sUie with truth is noble When we her wretched crust. Ere be' course brings fame and pro lit And 'tis prosperous to be just. Then it is the brave man chooses, VVtule the coward stands aside Doubting in abjecl spirit Till the Lord is crucified, Aud the multitude make virtue Of the faith they have For such reasons (and because there is no bope of an electiou), I accept your nomination and thank you lor the great honor you have conferred uoon me.

Business At a recent meeting of the creditors of Norris piano manufacturers, No. 2257 Washington street, the investigating committee rejiorted the liabilities as $16,608 40; assets, $2,687 94 in stock, $312 06 in patterns, and $140 dividend, which, it is expected, will be paid by George W. Norris, the claim against. Mr.

Norris being $1,400, and the expected dividend about 10 per cent. The committee recommend that the debtors pay 10 cents ou one dollar within thirty days, anil it was voted by the meeting to accept. The liabilities of Edward F. Huff, merchant tailor. No.

442 Washington street, are abort $1,000 secured; $1,500 in accounts, $1,500 in fixtures (mortgagid), $5,000 on stock, mortgaged for $5U0, and $2,000 in replevied stock. At a meeting in this city of the creditors of J. W. Perkins drugs, Portland, the firm made the offer of 60 cents on one dollar, bnt, at the recommendation of the committee of investigation, the proposition was rejected. The firm now propose to pay 75 cents on one dollar, and it 16 thought that they will get a settlement at this oiler.

H. Stephens Bacon brokers and bankers, No. 43 Devonshire street, claim that their embarrassment is only temporary, and is due to tbe efforts of a few creditors to force a serMement of contracts whicn, as they say, are ordinarily allowed to stand imtil in the stock market sball decide of profit or loss. The credi tors, however, say that they know of no such practice 86 is alluded to by the firm. Bacon Co, reiterate their connection with Peck ft Harris of New Mr.

Bacon recently sold a contract signed by Mr. Peck, and, when it was presented to the latter, he repudiated it, and said that his name was signed to it without any authority. The Twelfth Anniversary of Post 12, G. A. R-, C.

W. C. Rhoades commander, was celebrated by a dinner given in Dudley Hall. Roxbury, on Wednesday evening. About sixty of the members and invited guests were present, and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

Among the invited guests were J. G. B. Adams of Lynn, commander of the State department, and his staff, consisting of Assistant Adjutant General James F. Meacb, and Judge Advocate of the Encampment Charles H.

Rich, with Thomas H.llill aud Samuel L. Weale, as aides-de-camp. Henry B. Pierce, Secretary of the State, and George H. Patch, inspector ot the eneampment, were also present.

Some fine singing was given by the Apollo Club quartette. Important Express ion. Negotiations, which have been in progress for some time past in regard to the transfer to the American Express Company ot the entire business of the Eastern Express Company, were concluded on Wednesday morning, and from this date the former company takes control of all tbe routes East hitherto operated by the latter company. For the present the offices of the two companies in this city will be kept open as usual, but as tbe American Company can make provision to take charge of I be office business of the Eastern Company, it will be absorbed. It is expected that by the end of the year it will be pos- stble to dispense with cno of the Bosion offices.

The sale is a matter of more than usual interest to the public, as it results in tbe formation of a consolidated express line lrom the extreme East to the extreme West, doing away with transfers of responsibility in the carrying of packages between such points as Bangor, Maine, and St. Louis, Mo. Another advantage may be a reduction of rates in the long routes which will now be under the control of the American Express Company. The terms of the sale are not made known, but rumor places the consideration at between $400,000 and $500,000. CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

The ironing of plain clothee with hot flat-irons is confined almost exclusively to the United In Great Britain and ou the continent of Europe, all plain articles, such as sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, napkins, towels. under flannels, are pressed in a mangle. The European mangle is a costly occupies a great deal of room, and requires a considerable amount of strength to operate it. But the work done bv it is beautiful. It imparts a lustre to table damask and other clothb which gives them always tbe apt eurance of new goods.

The work is done very rajudly, taking only about one-tenth of the time required by tbe flat-iron, and the wear on the fabric is nothing com pared with that involved In rubbing the articles with a hot iron. Tbe saving in fuel is of course very great, as this operation is by a cold pressure. The disailvantages expense, the size and the difficulty of undoubtedly the only reasons why this valuable process has not been into general use in this country. A mangle has recently been invented which obviates these objections entirely. It is sold tor less than one-half the price of the English mangle, and does better work.

It is only three teet square, and is very easily operated. ordinarily intelligent servant can learn in a few minutes to use it with success. It can be seen in practical operation at Room No. 7, Herald Building, and ladies are invited to call and examine the mangle and its work.
