A RESOLUTION was introduced in the Nova
Scotia Parliament the other day, proposing
that England shall cede the province to the
United States as payment in part or in full Of
the claims against that country. The resolu-
ton contained proviso making it obligatory
on the United States to admit the province
with all the rights and duties of a State of the
American Union, and upon such other terms,
financial and otherwise, as may be agreed upon
by the joint high commission. This liberal
proposition strikes US favorably. 1t affords a
solution in whole of the free coal question, and,
in part, Of the fisheries dispute. Besides,
Nova Scotia is An enterprising and growing
country, with many natural advantages, which
under our popular government would soon
make of it mighty commonwealth.

Tho Conservatory Concerts.


No one who enjoys the acquaintance of Prof.
Tourjee, Director of the N. e. Conservatory
of Music, Can fail to admire his whoIe-souled
devotion to his work. He has used every
means to popularize the study Of music. He
has spent years in giving gratuitous instruction
in the art to children in the common schools.
He has gathered the best talent for instruc-
ton at his school at Boston, and animated all
his teachers with that spirit which commands
success, whether the object be the recovery Of
the Holy City from infdel hands, or the res.
toration Of a lost art to people whose every
thought and feeling is absorbed in business
At the concerts to be given next Tuesday
evening and the Tuesday following, an oppor-
tunity will be afforded our people to show their
appreciation of the work which the Conserva-
tory is doing. These concerts have peculiar
claims upon the popular patronage. OF the
many companies that have visited Portland
the past year, few, II any have furnished a bet
ter entertainment than this. Their music is
calculated to charm the untutored ear, and, at
the same time satisfy the most fastidious taste.
More than this, no company has provided for
the admission of our school children upon any
thing like as liberal terms. I. B. G.
