THE PASSION PLAY At OBERAMMERGAU
QUAINT AND UNIQUE PERFORMANCE.
fPRON OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
OBERAMMEkGAu, May 23.-It would be

OBERAMMERGAU, May 23.-It would be i'm
possible for any to believe, without seeing IT, that
a body Of peasants could render drama with 30 much
taste, accuracy, and magnifcance the peasants Of
Oberammergau showed yesterday in giving the Passion
Play. But have SEEM and seeing Is believing The sun
had scarcely touched the tops Of the surrounding
tans when a band marched through the town ushering
in the day with music. The peasants had been streaming
in all quarters Saturday, but the cry on Sunday
morning still they come" The variety OF vehicles
was only exceeded by that Of the costumes for the
OF the Bavarian peasanry varied and tasteful
The Of the Ammergau district wear high black
embroidered bodice and colored silk kercbief folded
over the shoulders broad necklace OF dozen more
strands silver chain surrounds the neck and the head
is covered with another kercbef, tied into another odd
swallOw-tal form at the back. The skirts are often
bright and often partic0ored. The men wear short
Jackets kneebreeches Of black cloth, embroidered,
wooden stockings that only the calf Of the leg Shoes
and the wemown Tyroean hat. They wear
enormously broad, embroidered leather belt and carya
hunting knife at the side. Some Of them look less pic
turesque in long coat and high boots. Many Of the
men have their buttons made from the coins Of the
try, and / counted forty glden on the front
of one mans jacket. He had four rows OF
buttons Some Of the women wear a round, high
hat OF black fur such drJlm-maors wear, only
raced a story two. At O'Clock we were all safely
ensconced in our seats. Over five thousand people were
mans OF the better class, and mere sprinkng Of En-
gsh filed up the boxes There was gravity ID every
face that bespoke earnest pOus frame of mind There
was quiet Of going 10 their seats SO pecu-
lary fitted for the house Of prayer rather than for tho
theater report of announced O'Clock. and
the whole house hshed into silence before the echoes
from the mountain sides had ceased. That multitude
had come in true spirit Of devotion They had come
entirely in the spirit recommended by the preface Of the
textbook, which closes with the following exhoraton
Therefore may all those who come to see how the Man
OF Sorrows bore himself 10 atone for sinful mankind con
slider well that IL sufficient % upon and adj
mre godly prototype, but that We must make the
holy drama an occasion for becoming His aterypes just
as the pious men of the Old Testament were HIS ante
types This representation pictures to our minds HIS
sublime virtues. May it therefore awaken IN Ms the de
termination TO follow Him with humility, patience. meek
ness and love. And the vow taken by our holy fore
fathers will be happily fulfilled when that which we have
seen pictured before us has become life and truth in u.s.
and then none of those blessings will be wanting to US
with which God rewarded the faith and confidence
of our ancestors"

THE DEPUTY WARDEN ASSAULTED.

RoCKLAND, May u.s.
desperate assault was made upon Deputy
Warden Burton 1T the Maine State Prison yesterday
by convict named Thompson. Thompson is I'M
der sentence of five years for larccncy and is dcs
peratc fellow. He works in the blacksmith shop
and Il few days ago he gave to one of the cooks a
skeleton key and a note for the Rowdoinham burn-
lar Simmons. The note revealed the nucleus of n
plot for escape For this offence he was shut nm in
his cell, and yesterday the Deputy Warden went to
his cell and ordered him to pass out his bucket.
Thompson reached out as far as he could and as he
did so threw quantity of black pepper which he
had managed to conceal in his hand into the off
cial's eyes. He then struck the Deputy warden
several blows upon the head with piece of iron
attached to a line and used like slung shot. Mr..
Burton clinched him, thrust him back into the cell
and shut the door, but Thompson again assaulted
him, striking him in the face with the iron leg of
the cell bedstead. Upon this the Deputy Warden
drew his revolver and fired three shots ut Thomp-
son. two of which took effect in his face and head
nfictng serious but not dangerous wounds.
Thompson still threatens the life of the DEPUTY.
The Warden is considered fully justified i'm his
action i'm defending himself against this mur,Ierous
assault.
Thompson is a native of Boston, is less than 10
years old, and was sent to prison from Pcnobscot
county.
Enos Briggs, crockery-ware merchant, of Bos-
tom died on Monday, from injuries received by be-
ing thrown from his carriage two weeks ago.

Gus objection. 1t gives them Sl60 900 in addition
to the 10000 adudcated TO them under the general
prize bounty law. This amount is to come out of
the japanese indemnity fund. An effort was made
to carry bill compromising the officers and men of
the Wyoming, but the House rejected ii by a ,eci-
died. majority In 1860 certain japanese boats made
an attack on the Pembroke and other vessels, and
the Wyoming was sent to punish them, which it
did i'll very thorough manner. The japanese
government in the following year paid over to us
about S600.O00 as smart money, out of which the
kearsargc appropriation comes

The Bangor Wing has seen 4 letter from
Coy. Chamberlain, in which he declines en-
phatically TO be u candidate tor reelection
This changes the programme most materially
and throws the hitherto most promising com
binatons into chaos. 1t fixes upon General
Hersey Us the coming man for the guberna-
torial nomination. 1t is surmised that il also
wipes out Lot Morril's chances for the L. s.
scnalorship, by giving the strength Of Il new
and powerful combination TO little Israel
Washburn for that position, with the rovers-
ion of the Portland Collcctorship to Gov
Chamberlain. The radical pot is boiling
turiously, and it is probable that other
schemes may come to the surface 1t is evi-
dent, however, that in any event, Gov
Chamberlain is no longer in the field as n
candidate.
