Where is Drake ). L. 1S60 y 20
We have heard this question asked
many times, and for all we knew for a
year past he might be dead. Recently,
in New York, we called at his Labo-
ratory in Liberty ST., and there found
this gentleman barricaded behind a
tremendous pile of boxes, distributing
funds to Sunday School Committee.
Our business was to secure an adver-
tisement. He said: my dear sir. what
is the use of advertising the Planta-
ton Bitters? They sell better now
than when l advertised at such enor-
nous expense, and now have not
made contract for a year have all
this amount to give to the poor. To
satisfy the Press, however. who have
always been my friends, / think / will
give you little something to do again,
for / have improved the Bitters great
ly, and it may be well TO have you let
! the people know it." And so he ran
on in happy, cordial appreciative
manner, showing us the wonders OF
| his place and the cords of certificates.
Everything is on a magnificent scale.
| and is done with neatness and prompt
ness. While there we saw at least
/ forty orders come in for these ceie-
brated Bitters. Cases are being ship
| ped to the four corners of the world
Drake is not dead, nor his Bitters
either.-Exchange paper.

AT special meeting of the Portland Me-
chanic Blues, the following resolutions of re-
spsct to the memory of their late comrade
William Paine, (who was at one time an 40
tive and at the time of his death an honorary
member of the company were presented, and
by them adopted.
Whereas, 1t has pleased our Heavenly Father tG
remove from midst the kind husband and father
the genial companion, the true friend and esteemed

RESOLVED, That an active and an honorary mem.
Der OF our company, we ever found him ready ani
eager to aid us In all our enterprises,

sacredly; believing that to him are largely in.
debted for the success which has always attended

icted family and relatives OF the deceased knowing

found In him . true champion and an honest man

ST. PAULs ENTERTAINMENT.-The enter
tainment given by the St. Paul,s Society last
evening, at Congress Hall, was decided sue.
cess. The house was we'll filled and the andi-
ence evinced their pleasure by frequent APP
plsuse. We think that there is no hall in this
city which possesses such excellent qualifica-
tions for parlor entertainments, which the per-
Torrance last night may be called, as Congress
Hall. 1t is coy, comfortable and we'll lighted,
and will seat sufficient number. But il
should be kept well warmed at this season o.
the year. Last night 1t was necessary to keep
on an overcoat.
Mr.. Murray is very happy in his readings.
He understands thoroughly the art of placing
himself at the very commencement, en- rapport
with his audience. We do not know as we
can particularize any one of his selections last
evening for especial mention over the others.
In all he showed himself a careful student Of
the meaning of his author, and, whether in
prose or poetry, delineated his characters with
master hand. The singing by the quartette
was very fine. Those old madrigals express.
ing 80 mnch Of poetry joined to the expressive
character Of the music were thoroughly en-
joyable, and particularly so when we remem-
ber how rarely they are attempted nowadays.
The st. PauPs Parish ought to realize nice
little sum from the entertainment for the ben.
eft of the church, and we trust they will give
US more of the same kind.

Let the Whistle Scream !

At the last meeting q portland No. g"
most of the members expressed themselves
thusly: "Thats right Jim; them's my views
exactly"
Now hope for the sake of peace and the
tchistle, this is not to be contest between the
firemen and the "crOakers," and the winter is
to be consumed in discussing the matter; but
we poor devils want some of the broadcloth
fraternity to take hold of this thing and put it
through.
1t is rather reversing matters for us to beg
the privilege of working for the interest Of
others; but fremen, as q rule, run with the
machine for something more than tho ''paltry
pittance" which is mostly consumed in paying
fines under the present system. They feel it a
duty, and a pleasant one, to assist in saving
the property of their neighbors and fellow
citizens from the flames, and are animated
with something of the spirit with which the
soldier faces fire ON the battlefield and courts
danger for his country's good. We protest
against being obliged to snooze when we ought
to be at work.
