Mrs. GENERAL LANDER, FORMERLY JEANNE
MARGUERITE DAvENPoRT-A little bird has
whispered in our ear that before long we may
be visited by this celebrated tragedeune, who
is, at the present time, the leading lady on the
American stage. Mr.. Geo. Butler the dra-
matte editor of Wilkes spirit of the Times, .
one of the leading dramatic critics of New
York, says of her impersonation of Elizabeth
that, "to the student of history, it seemed as
though Mrs. Lander had stepped in form frsm
its pages, the Elizabeth of our understanding
in look, manner and costume. Her portrayal
of the naughty Queen was one of the most
splendid performances ever given in this city.
1t was the most genuine dramatic triumph OF
the day, and Mrs Lander has written her
name high up among the greatest artistes OF
the past or present stage. To us, while Ristori
was grand-terrble in certain scenes-it was
an italian grandeur which we admired but
could not understand"
The Portland public are pleased to see, even
at this late hour, that these great artstes have
discovered that the appreciation of Portland
audience is of real value to them

An examination was waived, the pris-

from the officer, and lynch him. But
after some hard work on the part of
the officers, and others, Farrell was
got into the wagon, and breaking
from the crowd, Sheriff Powers put
his horse into run, and it was hoped
the affair was ended. But on arriv-
ing at the barns of G. & e. Dewey

Farrall would have been killed out.

A San Francisco correspondent
writes as follows in regard to the
present aspect of the Presidential
campaign on the Pacific coast:
Before the Democratic National
Convention was held | was in great
doubt as to the result on this coast.
That Convention could have put in
the field ticket which would have
carried the entire Pacific States
against Grant and Colfax, but 1t did
not do At. The nominations really
please nobody. The secesh element,
which is very strong in the Democratic
party on this coast, is disguised with
Blair; they don't like his war record
and the War Democrats are equally
disgu5tod with Seymour's anti-war
record Nobody pleased. Southern
men say they might as well go fol-
Grant as Blair. Northern men say
they would as soon go for JEFF. Davis
and done with it as for Seymour. The
Irish will go the ticket of course
without reference to who is on it, bu
the floating vote-which here mus
decide the election-which would
have been caught by Chase or Gov
ernor Haight, will now generally g
for Grant. | do not say that the Re
publicans are sure of California, Ore
gon and Nevada, but the chances OF
their carrying them are growing
brighter daily. We have improved
at least 100 per cent. since the Jul,
Convention made its nominations.

BUTTER IN DOG DAYs.-A CORE
spondent of the Peterborough Tran
script gives the following directions
for making good butter in hot wealth
er:
After the cream has been churned
five minutes, or just as it begins "to
break" as it is called, throw into the
churn piece of ice as big as pint
bowl, churn steady till the little Jumps
of butter are ali brought together in
hard, solid mass, then take it from
the churn and work it over quickly
the first time adding what salt is
necessary, and then set upon the
cellar bottom with small piece of
ice upon it. Early the next morning
give it a thorough working over, get
ting out all the buttermilk and tn,
salt, evenly mixed, and you will have
good hard butter every time. W.
have tried it and know from expert
ence that butter can be made to goo'
advantage through dog days, or an
days during the warm weather.
