THEATRE.-The new play of Hilda was pro-
duced last evening to very large and fashion,
able audience. The play is full of incidents
and was well placed oA the stage. Mr.. Charles
Barron made his first appearance before a
Portland audience, and though laboring under
a bad cold, evinced talents unusual in one so
young in the profession. He is an accomplish
ed actor, graceful and free from rant, and in
the character of Henri De Lorraine, which he
carried out in the handsomest manner, won
plaudits from the house. He was well sup
ported by the whole company whose effective
services We're required in the play. Miss Dol
lie Bidwell as Hilda won fresh laurels, and
Miss George Langley, as niece of the Cardi-
nal, was as usual capital in her rendition OF
the character The play will be performed
again this evening and we advise those who
wish to see fine performance to avail them
selves of this opportunity.

The LATE SIR FREDERICK BRUCE - The
death of the British Minister appears to be
attended with some mystery. A Boston paper
says: -...-.
DR.. III. j. Bigelow made post mortem ex-
animation of the body Of Sir Frederick Bruce,
on Friday, in presence of DIR. Jacob Bigelow,
Dr.. Hodges, and Dr. Ellis. No lesion was dis
covered sufficient to account for DEATH All
the organs, including the brain, were in a
healthy state, and would seem to have justified
the expectation long life. AS far as can now
be ascertained, death probably occurred as the
combined result of diarrhee, with which the
together with some probable sore throat, and
followed by the fatigue of journey from Mar
ragansett Beach to Boston. 1t was considered
however, that these causes would not have pro-
duced death unless the patient had been of a
peculiarly susceptible constitution.

two such able sermons from any preacher
They were finely written and eloquently deliv-

was announced, we were at loss to know
what could be said on such text But the
preacher soon solved that problem, and gave
us discourse of marked ability, characterized
throughout by close thinking great originality

THE senior editor of the New York Tribune
is reported to have said, at the opening of one
of his lectures in a Western city, that though
people might entertain different opinions of
his character and ability, there was perfect
unanimity on one point--everyone conceded
that he was the poorest public speaker in
America. No one has ever had the hardihood
to contradict Mr.. Greeley on that point But
circumstance occurred at the opening of the
American Institute Cd Thursday which would
seem to indicate that his periods are more than
usually harmonious. A New York correspon-
dent writes:
The American Institute opened on THURSDAY
night last. Horace Greeley delivered the OPEN
ing address and Miles O'Reilly was to speak
the poem, but didn't, owing to severe attack
OF proncnitls,es. Some queer mistakes occur
red that evening. In the first place, our friend
Horace, with Miss Phebe Cary on his arm,
blundered into the French theatre and circu-
lated through its corridors under the impress
sion that it was the American Institute, though
It puzzled him to find good place to speak
For once the philosopher was up stump
Then when he finally got into the right build
ing and opened out he was mistaken for Miles
O'Reilly, and enthusiastic Celts shook their
mats IN the AIR and vociferously cheered their
supposed favorite. His honied prose was mis-
taken for the mellifuous verse of Miles! Think
of that! - d5I77l'f TO-

tween the proprietors of that paper with regard

Sweetser carrying with him into his new en-
terprise the entire staff of the Gazette, editors,

but the name. It makes no difference to u.s.

and everyway readable as the Gazette has al

A SUGGEsTIoN.-As Browns Hotel continues
to rise from its foundation we have thought a
dome and telescope of moderate powers would
be good addition. Let any one stand now
upon the third story and he will be convinced
that splendid view of the city and its sur
roundings may be had from the sixth story
when the building is completed. From this
elevation more pleasant and satisfactory view
OF the city and the immediate vicinity can be
had than from the hills that form the north
east and southwest boundaries of the city. 1t
is not always the greatest elevations that give
the most pleasing landscape views. Great dis
tances do not lend enchantment to all views
We believe as fine a view of the city and its
immediate surroundings can be had from this
hotel when completed as from any other place.

What is called the "Crawford county systen''
of making nominations, from the place of its
origin, is becoming popular in Pennsylvania.
1t supercedes the caucus, and is more likely to
secure true expression OF the popular will. 1t
is i'll fact preliminary election, the voters of
theparty meeting at the usual polling places
and casting their ballots directly for those they
prefer as candidates The votes are reported
to headquarters, and the candidate or candi-
dates having the highest number are made the
regular nominees. This gives less opportunity
for corrupt manager and wire-pullers than the
caucus and convention method OF nomination.
Ifvoters could be induced to attend prelim-
nary elections of this kind, tho wire-pullers
would undoubtedly soon find their occupation
gone But they will not do this in many places,
and the only way to remedy the evils of the
caucus system is for politicians to take warn
ing from the fate of disreputable nominees in
California and Connecticut, and present good
men for the suffrages of the people There is a
growing conviction that there are spheres OF
action better fitted for prize fighters and noun
tebanks than Congress, and caucus system oil
