tflofc ’WSBUM a present demand for-ship* if
tiny could bo cheaply supplied. That al
though the coat of iron and some, other mate
HaU would be higher bv.the amdont paid in
freight, and the wages ol iabdf are also higher
e ith Its than in Puropo. yet We should have
tin advantage In the cost of timber, a large
tiio mnt of which is used, even in the con
struction of iron vessels—and that the higher
rates paid for American labor would bo more
than counterbalanced by its greater efficiency
nod skill. Your committee, after the most
careful deliberation, impressed with the great
importance of restoring our commercial ma
rine, not only as a means of increasing the
national wealth in time of peace, but also its
one of the most efficient agencies for national
defence in time of war, respectfully recom
mend the following measures as calculated to
ptomote the desired object:
1st—The remission of the duties imposed
upon the raw material entering into the con
struction of vessels and steamers, limiting the
amount to the minimum of duties per ton col
lected on the material required lor certain i
classes of vessels, and w here American iron
is used in the construction oi iron vessels an
amount per ton equivalent to the duties on a
like amount of imported raw materials, limit
ing the amount to be paid.
a,!—I lint ait stores to do usio ny vi ssvis
sailing to fiirtign [airts may be taken in bond
free of duty.
8(1—Further to encourage investment in
skipping, and to extend the aid to ships al
ready built, and which have been sailed dur
ing and since the rebellion at great disadvan
tage, allowing to all sailing vessels and to all
steamer* running to the British North Ameri
can provinces one dollar nnd n half per ton.
on steamers to European ports four dollars
per tou. and on all other steamers running to
foreign ports three dollars per ton.
In view of the fact that the tax upon ton
nage cannot be removed without relieving the
vessels of all foreign nations of the same,
while no such exemption is extended to Amer
ican vessels in foreign ports, and in view ol
the further fact that the shipping interest ol
the country is to receive some relief by the
passage of the proposed measure*,the commit
tee recommend only the removal of all ton
nage, harbor, pilotage and other like taxes
imposed upon shipping by State and munici
pal authority (which taxes have been declared
by the Supreme Court unconstitutional), and
the re-adjustment of the present tax upon
tonnage, so that it will fall more equitably
upon the different classes of vessels affected
thereby. The amount which will he received
from tiiis source is estimated by tile commit
tee to he more than $11,000,000 per annum,'
and will to that extent contribute to the relief
which is proposed to be granted in aid of the
shipping interest ot the United States. For
the purpose of carrying out the foregoing
recopiniendatioir- your committee report here
with two hills lor Consideration :

ESTS OF TUB CSITBO STATUS.
Whereat the Mercantile raariue of the country was near
ly destroyed during the late rebellion in consequence of the
i nihility of the government to j>rott*ct it; and now, while
bearing its share of ta.\.Uiou, h n no such protection from
foreign competition ms is afforded to other great national
interests aud industries, and is therefore st**;tdily declining.
And wherciis the r. soration of our comm* rfflal marine,
constituting a* it doss one of the most eificient moan* of de
fence in time of war, is of great uatianal importance, and
ess nt* ai to the maintenance of our position as a first-class

hull, rigging, equipment or machinery of such vessels,
ther • shall be allowed antth^aid by the S**cretary of the
Treasury, under such regulations ns he may prescribe, a
drawback equal to the duties which may have been paid

steamers, fifteen dollars per ton. And provided further,
That where American material is used iu the construction
of Iron or composite vessels or steamers there shall be al
1 >we<l and paid, as aforesaid, an amouut equivalent to the
duties irap-jaed on similar articles of foreign manufacture
when imported, the full allowance on American and for
eign material* not to exceed the amounts per ton, on ves
sels of each class respectively, hereinbefore specified.
&kc. 2. That all ship stores and c**al to be used and con

Uaited States to any foreign port, may, In such quantity j
and under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury
may inscribe, be taken in whole packages in bond, and j
disp <sed of for such pur]>oses, free of import and Internal
duty and tax.

cal year in which such vessel has been so engaged, be paid j
by the collector ofthe port where snch vessel is registered, J
upou exhibiting satisfactory evidence. In form to be pre- j
scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, that such vessel i
has been so engaged, upon every sail vessel and upon

government should adopt the policy of sub
sidizing lines of ocean steamers, which may
he turned into war vessels in case of hostili
ties. The report closes with reference to our
great navigable rivers and lines of railway,
and their relation to our ocean navigation,
and holds that the West lias the same interest
in reviving and maintaining our ocean com

THE ORE A T 0 VERFL 0 W.
The flood in the Kennebec river in this
vicinity, with its attendant disasters, is
without an equal in all the freshets that
have gone before. The memorable flood
of 1882 sinks in comparison to a common
affair. The “oldest inhabitant” can re
peat no tale of wonders to match this,
either in the rise of the water or the dam
age which it has occasioned. The date
of “the great freshet” must be advanced
to this time, and those who witnessed it
will be oracles on similar occasions in the
future. Men arose on Sunday morning
without any particular anxiety about the
freshet, attended church as usual, but be
fore the services were over whispers
passed around of a great and sudden ris
of the waters, and the benediction was
the signal for a general rush from the pews
to the river, where a grand as well as de
structive sight awaited them.
The occasion of this great overflow is
one which should not bo forgotten by our
citizens interested upon the river without
efforts to prevent others of the same kind.
Had the river been clear of ice there would
have been no extraordinary freshet and no
damage. But with the ice below Hallow
ell holding firm in its position, while the
ice on the river for many miles above
broke up, and coming down in large ami
small masses formed a jam across the
head of the solid and unbroken ice, ob
structing the passage of the water, the
rise of the water in the rear of the jam
was inevitable, and to this is due the dam
age which ensued. It is said that such a
case never occurred before, and from this
it is reasoned that such never will take
place again. It is true, perhaps, that this
generation may never see the like again,
and yd it is not impossible that there may
be a repetition next year. The wisest
course would be not to trust all to chance,
but make such provisions for security as
may be found feasible.
The practicable measure to bo taken is
the construction of strong piers to hold
the ice above the Augusta dam, so that it
shall not break up suddenly, but remain
iu its position until the ice is broken up
below or become so weak as not to be
dangerous. Such piers may be necessary
at several points between Augusta and
Skowhegan. If erected they would pre
vent disasters like the present. Their
efficiency for such a purpose has been
proved on other streams, so that there is
no doubt as to the benefit they would ac
complish. The cost of constructing them
would be a small sum in comparison with
the property destroyed, even by the pres
ent freshet, while the assurance of safety
which they would create would have a
\ isible favorable effect upon property sub
ject to the ravages which we now witness.
_ smrrixa 1 me bests.
The report of the Congressional Commit
tee to investigate the condition of our
Shipping interests and recommend meas
ures of relief, will be examined with in
terest by that large class of the people of
Maine who build ships, own, and “go
down to the sea” in them. We trust the re
port indicates the turning point in the strug
gle about tlie revival of our navigation,
which is not merely a question whether
shipbuilders shall continue their business
or change to some other, but whether the
country shall conduct and control its own
commerce or turn the carrying trade over
to foreigners and allow them to sway the
sceptre of the ocean for their own aggran
dizement. It is evident enough that with
out some assistance from Congress we
shall soon have no commercial marine
worth mentioning. A great reduction has
taken place and what is left is staggering
under difficulties, Shipbuilders have con
tinued to build in spite of the embarrass
ments under which they have labored,
but the time lias come when it is absolute
ly necessary that they have relief or close
; their yards. The measures proposed by
the committee will probably afford the
requisite assistance. They are such as
were recommcmletl by practical men, ami
adopted after the fullest examination of
the matter by the best light that the coun
try affords. If these are not adopted our
commerce will disappear from the ocean;
if, on the contrary, they are adopted, our
navigation interests will awaken to new
life and gradually return to the high rank
which they once held. We believe that
Congress must be convinced that this is
something more than an effort to protect
a few shipbuilders, and will give the sub
ject the consideration which it demands,
as one of national and not local impor
tance.
The suggestions in the report about
building of iron and the probability that
thriving shipyards may be established on
our western rivers near to the coal mines
and seats of iron manufactures are worthy
of attention. It is not only possible but
probable that it may be so. Still there
w ill be for some time in the future a de
mand for wooden vessels, and these will
be supplied at the East. It will be nc
| cessary for Maine shipbuilders, however,
to understand that things are not going to
be in the future just as they have beeu in
the past, and that they must keep up with
the improvements in the construction of
vessels if they expect to find a market.
Iron vessels are taking the lead, and
steam is superseding sail to a considerable
extent. If such cannot be furnished at
Maine ship-yards and can be on the Ohio
or Alleghany the market will be controlled
by the West. In this view the bills offered
may do as much for western as eastern
shipyards if adopted.
WASHINGTON RECEPTIONS.
The following is an extract from a late
letter of Siiikley Dabf., the celebrated
female Washington correspondent of the
New York World. It is a description of
a lady’s afternoon reception in Washing
ton. Headers in this vicinity will recog
nize both the house and the lady referred
to without specific mention by us.
‘•The suite of parlors and library are thrown
open for the nfturnoon. In the rooms people
in black silk street dresses mostly, witli blue
or pink velvet bonnets, are talking in knots,
and there is quiet chat and laughter. The
rooms are fully furnished in good style, but
plain. Indeed a scrupulous absence of orna
ment, beyond a few good pictures, is remark
able. In the last room of the suite, ladies
stand sipping coffee or chocolate, which last,
happily, is as fashionable in Washington as
in New York for lunch, and light refreshment.
About one person in Arty knows the exact
qualities chocolate should possess to be ac
ceptable. The thick creamy consistency,
unsparingly sweet, with vanilla for French
liking, and cinnamon for Southern taste, is u
rarity, which any woman may celebrate her
lunch table by producing. In the true spirit
of reform I sacrifice the dignity of a reporter
to mention the sacred proportions for a proper
cup of chocolate, namely : one-quarter of a
pound of linker's, the same of sugar, to one
quart of milk and water, equally mixed. If oil
till the cake dissolves, and flavor with a stick
of cinnamon.
Our hostess has a special word to say about
correspondents. It seems that the feminine
letter writers of the press have made them
selves leas than pleasant by criticisms on
women of position in Washington. A woman
who took part in a public society once naively
objected to reports of the meetings because
she often said things she was sorry for the
next minute. The sex is the same whether
it speaks with tongue or pen, and I candidly
say that no doubt many journalists write of
persons in a way that they regret in print.
A lady in public life may feel justly annoyed
that another lady admitted to her house can
find nothing to say of her, except how badly
her back hair was dressed. If there really
was nothing more to notice in her appearance,
there was no excuse for speaking of her ut all.
If any woman letter-writer so discredits the
guild as to make tlic appearance of one of its
members the signal of distrust, the rest ought
to vindicate themselves. I feel it a shame
that the noble women before me should look
into my face, witli her eyes blue as
Maine brooks, and say one word to avert
possible criticism on herself, in her own
house. “I am willing,” she said, “to do any
thing required by my husband's public posi
tion, but I am a woman from the country,
ami make no profession to be a light of fash
ion, anil I don't wish to be treated as such."
Women from the country, Indeed! with that
thoughtful independence, and serious, grace
ful manner! The fascination born of sincer
ity was in her very carriage and least look.
To have such a woman think even a reporter
of her own sex could come creeping into her
house to count the chairs and tables, and note
the folds of her gown, was a disagreeable
dose, prepared by the thoughtlessness of some
scribbling sister beforehand.”

The Concord (N. H.) Statesman relates
that a young lady from the country recently
engaged as saleswoman with a dry goods firm
in that city. Though new at the business she
soon became proficient. Like the other em
ployees, she had the privilege of buying at cost
price any goods she wanted for her own use.
She was an extensive purchaser, from time to
time, on this basis; and at the end of two
months gave up her position. Very soon
after, she was married, as was also her sister
at the same time; and it turned out that she
had entered upon the clerkship merely to en
joy the perquisite of buying at cost price the
liberal supply of dry goods so mysteriously
necessary on such occasions. Her employer
is not anxious to engage any more young lady
clerks from the country.
A Nebraska letter of recent date contains the
following: About thirty warriors of the

week before the storm to find some buffalo,
and, if in luck, get some sculps from their old
' enemies, the Sioux. When out, the party di
vided, some going south, where they found
buffalo, and returned well loaded with meat.
The others fell in with a party of Sioux, killed
several of them, and started back with about
forty captured ponies. On their return, and
when about eight miles from Long Tree sta
tion, they were overtaken by the terrible storm
of Sunday, and all perised within a day’s
inarch of their homes. The bodies of those
Indians, with their own and their captured
ponies, were all found lying dead together,
partly covered with snow and ice, by the run
ners who were sent but to discover their
whereabouts.”
