Posi- OFFICE ACCOMMODATIONS
men residing at distance from the office
have complained to us of lack of accommo-
dation for the general delivery of letters.
There is but one window for this purpose, for
the accommodation of gentlemen, and they
say it often takes a long time, much longer
than business and laboring men are able to
spend, to get up to the window, owing to the
large numbers to be accommodated. Heaf
They suggest-and it seems to us there is
wisdom in the suggestion,-that there should
be two windows for general delivery, for gen.
tlemen, delivering all letters from A to K, for
instance, at one, and all from L to at the
other This would save half the time now
consumed, to thousands of our population.
We hope the new Postmaster will think of
this suggestion, and if wise and feasible, ap-
propriate the window now used by ladies to
the use of gentlemen, and re-establish the
ladies' delivery at the heretofore closed door
on Exchange street. 1t seems to us such an
arrangement would greatly promote the public
convenience. te af..r.,,.,..uf 'v.r

Notice to the Public !!

In the year 1876, the writer embarked in the Drug

engaged made several experiments in regard to the
most desirable mode of preparing Fluid Extracts
My efforts being successful-thea articles being approx

some time before concluding to resort to newspaper
adverts ng, knowing the preudices that existed in
the minds Of many against using advertised Medi-

and those who had used them this objection was
overcome. -------------
After Is years. exertions, commencing in small
way, the popularity OF my articles has extended to all
parts Of the United States, and widely throughout
foreign counries-and this in the face of much oppo

copying my advertisemcnts-but am happy to state

militia. This gave nmbrage to officers who
had been superseded, and was the cause of his
future difficulties in America. When the war
actually broke out in IT'S, Thompson solicit
ed an appointment in the American army;
his wish was defeated by New Hampshire Of
ficers. He was denounced as tory. He re-
quested an arrest and trial, which was grant
ed, and he was honorably acquitted.
He was prosecuted by his enemies. Insult
and disappointment indneed him to resolve to
quit the country. Early in 1776 he started for
England. Arrived in London he fortunately
gained the friendship and esteem of men in
power His talents for science and military
abilities soon developed themselves, and hon
ors and emoluments followed in quick success
sion, and while yet a young man-this youth
'from the wilds of New England, was attract
ing public attention, as member of the Roy
al Society, Under Secretary OF State, and Col
onelin the British army" He visited the
Continent, and by accident made the acquaint-
ancc, and gained the friendship OF the Prince
of Observation-Disclosures King OF Bavaria
and he was persuaded to enter the service OF
that sovereign, and Munich soon became MS
residence, where his personal and mental tai
ents procured him distinctions, rarely, II ever
bestowed upon foreigners. He reached the
highest civil and military honors subject
could possess. a'i i'~
When he left England in 1884, he was
knighted by George the Third. In 1850 he was
knighted by the king of Poland, receiving the
order of White Eagle-and that of st. Stanis-
laus in 1857, and that mobility might not be
wanting to swell the sum of his greatness" he
was made Count of the Genevean empire
The learned institutions of Europe were lib
eral of their honors to him. Among the phil
osophers-he, as an American, was second
only to Franklin. Rumford was made MEM
Der of the Royal Societies of England and
Edinburg-the Royal Academy of Ireland
the Academy of Sciences-of Berlin, in Prus-
STA, and the Imperial Institute of France The
paths he trod were numerous, his success in
all of them remarkable. In Bavaria he was
placed successfully at the head of the depart
ments of War and Police-was Chamberlain
and Privy Counsellor to the king and Com
mander-in- Chief of his armies-and he who
began his military career as Major in themil-
itia Of New Hampshire ended it as Lieuten-
ant General OF the armies of Bavaria. Thanks
of cities were repeatedly expressed to him in
person, and marble monuments raised to him
in his lifetime. Count Rumford died at Au-
tieul, near Paris, in August, 1914 He made
large donations to the American Academy of

Parepa's Concert.

The second concert of Mile Parepa at the
City Hall last night was brilliantly attended,
and the enthusiasm called out by her perform
ance even greater than on the previous eve
ming. The admired artistic was in excellent
voice, and sang with Incompatible grace, force
and delicacy. Her rendering of the glorious
music of Casta Diva" was the finest and
most truthful to which we have listened, and
served well to exhibit the wonderful power
and fexibility of her voice. The ballad call
ed Maggie's Secret" was .deliciously sung,
and afterwards in response to a determined
encore she gave" Five o'clock in the Morning"
with grace of expression truly delightful
When Mile Parepa sings ballads the listener
is ready to declare that the ballad is her forte
beyond all things else, but her performance of
the splendid arias from t" Ernani and Nor
ma" shows her equally at home in the more
brilliant and elaborate school of the modern
opera. There was but one feeling among her
audience, and that was one of unmixed de-
light which manifested itself in the most en-
thusiastic and reiterated applause. oi ia
We deeply regret that her engagements in
other places are such as to prevent our hay-
ing her for yet one more night in Portland.
A new point of attraction in the programme
last evening was the first appearance of the
youthful violinist Carl Rosa. This young gen
tleman is true artist, and he has the arm and
finger of the born violinist. Under his skill
full touch that most expressive of instruments
seemed to live and breathe, and almost speak
His opening fantasia was performed in bril-
liant manner, but he seemed most truly at
home when rendering his own music, and his
"Trovatore solo was perhaps the finest thing
he gave us. MIR. Levy played the cornet as
we have seldom heard it before. 1t is fashion,
able to decry the cornet, but it is popular in
strument for all that, and Mr.. Levy knows
how to draw from it marvellous effects.
The two male singers were in less perfect
voice than on Thursday night, but Mr.. Castle
sang Thou art so near and yet so far" in a
graceful and pleasing manner.
We certainly think our music loving people
may congratulate themselves that they have
enjoyed such feast of good things as these
two concerts have afforded; and we hope the
warm appreciation which Mr. Bateman's COM
pany have received among us may prove an
encouragement to superior talent to favor us
more frequently.
