an establishment we can now boast of. and no

Geyer & Calef, have taken the new store No.
10 Free Street, fitted in the most elegant and
tasteful manner, and will be prepared to ex-
hibit to their friends and the public generally
to-day, very choice stock of fancy goods and
foreign and American stationery. Their cir
culating library consisting of upwards Of six
hundred new volumes, will also be open, and
books may be taken out and read at the rate
OF two cents per day per volume. A deposit
will be required from strangers. The new
publications, as fast as they are issued, will b.
added to the library, and it will be the aim O
the proprietors to make their store the most
popular in Portland.

Union Club Exhibition of Paintings.

Saturday evening, in company with a few
Others, we had the pleasure of examining the
collection Of paintings to be exhibited this
week at the Union Club Rooms, for the bene-
fit of the Freedmen's Fair. 1t is impossible to
express the delight we experienced in viewing
this collection. There are about seventy. five
pictures, all from eminent artists, and it is the
richest exhibition ever offered in Portland
The pictures are the individual property of
members Of the Club, and have been got to-
gether for the purpose Of aiding the noble
cause of the Fair.
Our citizens should take advantage of this
opportunity now offered them, of seeing this
splendid collection Of paintings. 1t is not
probable they will have that opportunity very
soon again. After viewing the collection they
will agree with us, that all honor is due the
members of the Club for bringing together
these bright and beautiful creations of the
pencils of artists

EXCITEMENT IN CoURT.-In the Supreme
Judicial Court, at Bangor, ON Thursday, there
was considerable excitement caused by the
proceedings in some liquor cases. According
to the Times it appears that certain cases
were to be removed from the State to the u.
S. Court. The Deputy U. S. Marshal Mr..
Head, attempted to arrest one of the prison.
ers, just as his trial was about to commence,
and took him into the jury room without in
forming the Court of his proceeding. He then
attempted to remove the prisoner from the jul
ry room, but was resisted by the Sheriff and
his deputies. High words ensued, in which
Messrs. Nc CriIis, Flagg, Arvida Hayford, DIR.
jordan, and Fl. Nc Laughlin took part, and
IN the attempt to remove the prisoner a col
lision ensued. tarf th
The jailor shut the back door and prevent
ed egress that way. Jordan, Hayford, and
NC Laushlin attempted to open it but were
resisted by the officers of the Court. At this
juncture, Judge Cutting stepped to the door
and commandeda cessation of hostilities and
ordered all parties to come into Court, which
Was OUcySus
Silence restored, the Court inquired of Mr..
Head if he had precept against the prisoner.
Mr.. Head presented it. After examining the
paper, and intimating his distrust as to the
nature and force of it, the Court decided to
stay proceedings in that Court for the present,
and directed the Marshal to take the prisoner
away, expressing the earnest hope to Mr..
Head that he would take him and the other
two prisoners to Portland at once and keep
them there.
The Court then administered severe re-
Duke to the disturbers Of the order and dgni-
ty of the Court, remarking that they were
without excuse and ought to be ashamed of
themselves. Thereupon suitable apologies
were made TO the Court by the counsel, and
the Court adjourned.

A Remarkable Exhibition will be Open To
Night. ~

The great exhibition known as the Milto-
MAN Tableaux of Paradise Lost" from Lon
don, England, where it was exhibited for two
hundred and eighty consecutive nights to over
half million people, will visit this city this
week, and be exhibited at Deering Hall for
short time. We copy the following description
of the exhibition from the London Times :ie
this great work Of art was gotten up in
London, England, at an expense of 100000,
and is complete Illustration of John Miltons
immortal Poem entitled " Paradise Lost" and
carrying out his idea of Heaven, Hell, Chaos
and Paradise. Showing the Rebellion of Sa,
tan, the War Of the Angels, the fall of Satan.
and the fall of Man. 1t was first exhibited in
London for two hundred and eighty consecu-
tive nights, and was during that time visited
by more than half million of people, includ-
ing royalty, nobility, the gentry and clergy
by command of Queen Victoria, it was set up
in the Hall OF buckingham Palace, and exhib-
tied before her and the entire Court. -
As described by Milton, it commences with
scene representing the gathering of the an
gels around the Almighty's throne to hear
new decree, that His only Son, that day be-
gotten, should henceforth reign supreme in
heaven; then is introduced the banquet of the
angels upon the plains of heaven; the night
ShcaiAipincAt VI buc dfiStiS Dy the rivers Oh
Bliss; Satan, with his followers, plotting the
rebellion; the marching of heavens host to
put down the rebellion; the three days battle
between the hosts of heaven and the rebellious
angels, and the final triumph of the Son of
God, when the chariot of aternal Deity, with
thunderboltS and fire of heaven, drives Satan
and the rebel host out OF. heaven into hell
Then follows eight magnificent scenes reppe-
senting the creation, commencing with the
surginS waters of Chaos, and ending with the
creation of animals and man. After which
Pandemonium or hell, with Satan and the fall
en- angels upon the burning lake. Satan's
Council in Hell, and Satan's fight from Hell
through Chaos in search of this earth. Then
following in direct order, as described by Mil
ton, is shown the Garden Of Eden, with Adam
and Eve; the temptation of Eve, her fall the
tall of Adam; the judgment of God, and the
expulsion from the Garden" 7 t1a
The exhibition is pronounced by the entire
press and competent judges to be the finest
work of art gotten up in modern times, and
worth miles of travel to see.
We predict great rush to Deerng Hal
while it is here, as it viii undoubtedly prove
one OF the most attractive exhibitions ever op-
ened in the city. Look out for the bills which
will be circulated throughout rhe city.

The Basuto war continued. The armies of
the free States were melting away by deser-
lions, and the prospects of the new States
were dismal enough. The result of years
hostilities is that the Basutos have learned to
fortify themselves in impresnable positions,
