above subject, having previously stated our
opinions pretty freely, land as probe" insists
upon 'begging the question, } but that we can
not help feeling fiattered at the statement
made by him, that, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, ''we' are man. Flattered, because
it is an admission that our arguments were
considered too good ones for ladies to make
that weaker sex, so called, whom "Probe"
considers "lazy beings" for whom it would be
highly improper for the cars to wait. We
might retaiate by saying that if "Probe" had
answered our arguments in a manly way, in
stead of flaring up in an old womanish manner
at the first suggestions we made, he would be
entitled to be thought DESTROYS OF exhibiting
courtesy and making some changes in the cars
for the accomm odation of MANY LADIES.

M. L.. A. ENrERTAINMENT.-The beautiful
moonlight last evening and the reputation of
George Vandenhof drew together fine audi
ence at City Hail. A half hour concert by the
Portland Band was received with deserved ap-
plause. AT 745 Mr.. V. appeared, and after a
familiar historic prologue rendered three scenes
from Macbeth. The Dagger soliloquy was ad :
miraby given and was made the more impress
sive by predatory analysis of spectral alu-
sions, which showed that there are no stage
exaggeratio2s encouraged by the play The
acting, especially in the pantomime passages,
emphasized most wildly the fear and remorse
of the guilty murderer, and made the scene a
sermon. From Macbeth to Lady Teazle the
change was grateful. In this and in Gaffey
Gray the head tones were finely employed in
reproducing an old mans faltering speech
Thackeray's "Cane- bottom Chair" Hoods
Bridge of Signs and "Nocturnal Sounds
were enthusiastically applauded, The Death
of Marmioh," and the amusing story by Hood,
"French and English,,' closed the programme.
which was well selected and seemed to delight
the audience, who were dismissed as the ''eve-
ming bells" sounded their notes. The "Ga-
zette" provided by Mr.. George A. Jones, de-
serves the thanks of the lecture-going public
as neat and entertaining sheet.
