TEE DRUMMER BoY.-That the members of
Post Bosworth made hit by their production
of the above name play nobody can deny who
was present at either. of the performances CIV
en- on the first three evenings City Hall
on these evenings was packed to overflow
ing with audiences that seemed wrapped in the
scenes passing before their eyes which to many
Of them investedawith reality that was al
most painful. The Drummer Boy" is merely
an epitome of those features of the late great
conflict that are most indelibly impressed up
on the minds of onr people and we trust that
we shall not be accused of fanaticism when we
say that we think igreat benefit is conferred
upon us here at the North by the production
Of plays of this character. They serve to keep
alive in the hearts of the people the fact that
the designs of "a few scheming and ambitious
men nearly wrecked this glorious Republic
and that if it had not have been for the patriot
ism inherent in the Northern heart, our coun.
try to-day would have been dismembered,
weak, prey to.other powers, and her boosted
system of free government the laughing stock
of monarohical nations. 4 1t will not hurt us to
remember the flag presentations as our boys
left their. uncomfortable homes to enter upon du-
ties so foreign to their former life; the bloody
conflicts from which SO many never emerged
alive; or the horrors of the rebel prisons which
many Of US havenever to this day, or never will
fully appreciate. Therefore we say it is we'll
that our citizens should be sure and attend the
remaining performance at City Hall tonight
and they will feel that the smoney spent for
a.ticket is little enough togive to aid the widow
and orphan of the soldiers.
The scenery Of the play is very good indeed,
the appointments is excelent,the several char
acters are we'll taken and those of Harry Wal
lingford, Col. DeLorme, Teddy, Ike, Patty
Peasles and especially Pete are particularly de-
serving of mention. The tabeaux show good
taste and skill and the singing of 'Rest spirit
rest" and the instrumental music by Webb's
Quadrille Band are very pleasing features Of
the entertainment
On account of the immense crowd present
last night, the doors to night will be open al
$50 o'clock precisely, and no admission can be
had until that time. The curtain will rise al
100 o'clock punctually.

Amateur Theatricals.

Last night large audience composed of the
elite of our city assembled at Portland Theatre
to witness the representation of the comedy of
"Thne tries ALP and the glorious farce of "Bet-
sy Baker" 1t is well known that the efforts
of amateurs do not come within the province
of newspaper criticism. There is no reason
why those Of last evening should not however,
for all were au fat in their parts and there
were fewer bitches and contretemps than per-
tain to most entertainments of the kind The
play of Time tries alp does not abound in the
wit and humor that is such feature of MANY
of the legitimate school but what it lacks in
that regard it makes up in sentiment. Miss
Peters as Laura" portrayed in the first act
most wildly the impatience and waywardness
of the young girl who first entering society
pines for the attention of "swells'' and is chat
ed by the persistent and honest love of "Matth
ew," to whom she has been pledged by her
parent in infancy; and in the second
act the regret caused by the discovery
that she has thrown away love to be priced,
for the whims of woman. Mr. SWEET define
ated the character Of Matthew" in most ex-
cellent manner. The conscious reserve, the
spirit aud love that fears to ask the nome n
tous question on which hangs his future, the
manliness with which he resigns himself to
Laura's decision, and finally the skill with
which he entraps her into the avowal of her
love displayed the ability of a finished actor.
Mr.. Chase as "Leeson" Naura's father)
made capital old man, while Mr.. Whittier
was irresistibly comic in the the little he had
to do as "Tom Tact" and was most ably sup
ported by Miss Drinkwater, who m ade most
coquettish and piquant "Fanny Fact" Mr..
Walter Gould as the ioppish "Yawn" created
much merriment and Lowell as "Clinton'
proved very pleasing.
The farce of"Betsy Baker" kept the house
In ioar, notwithstanding it is one of the old
est farces in the language and probably almost
known by heart by half the audience present.
Miss Dana made splendid Betsy. We only
re echo the opinion of the audience when we
say that she was as saucy, as bright and as.
charming personator of the character as we
have ever seen either professional or amateur.
What scene that was between her and
"Mouser" when she makes her advances upon
his affections! And Mr.. Bacon made capital
"Mouser,'' worthy support to SO excellent
Betsy. Miss Smith made bright, spirited
"Mrs. MOuser," and Mr.. Fox was extremely
funny as "Crummy."
The performance was an excellent one and
we hope to see a crowded house tonight at the
last Performance. The music by Chandler
leaves nothing to be desired in that depart
ment and Mr.. Noyes takes charge of the
stage with his accustomed skill.

s ppi by the sword and his own will, to
seeing the same Adelbert Ames putting
himself and a negro into the Senate
of the United States as the eonsti-
tutiOnal Representatives OF the state OF
Mississippi, We want to see no farce like
that in any other State. We do not fear
the permanence of open military despot-
ism: against il in its naked deformity we
do not doubt the end of the conflict which
all true Americans are now Waging. But
when military despotism makes show
of retiring and leaves q sham form OF civil
government in its place, like that pro-
posed for Georgia, then the hadlcaI Or
gans have some chance to disguise the
matter from the American people. We
say, then, go on Radicalsi Show your
selves In your true color. We prefer that
to your shams. Most heartily we indorse
the Democratic members who helped to
put this vile thing in its true
shape, rescuing, at the same time,
the State from the worse curse OF
the Radical and negro aristOcrscy, which
the Bullock and Terry faction sought
to establish. That would be q more
insidious, more dangerous, more durable
form of innovation on tree civil govern
ment. We prefer to see military despot-
ism stand up naked before the civilized
world in this the nineteenth century, and
in the model Republici We prefer to see
the great farce Of Radical reconstruction
and Radical amendments come to this ig-
nominiOus end. One of the states that is
eounta6 as a RATHER of the Fourteenth
Amendment as well as of the Fifteenth
Amendment, is yet no State at all 1t is
a mere ''satrapy," as it would be called
in the old Oriental despotisms, or Mill
taFy Department as the Radicals call the
same thing. Truly this is crowning
and characteristic exhibition OF Radical
reconstruction.
