THE GREAT HAYDN CoNCERT-It has been
decided to place the price of the tickets to the
combined concert of the Haydn Association
and the Thomas Orchestra at one dollar each,
or S1.25 for reserved seats, and although so
great is the expense of presenting a concert of
this magnitude, that it will require that every
seat in the hall should be occupied in order to
insure the Haydn Association against loss; yet
the Association feel confident that the public
of Portland will appreciate their efforts to pro-
duce great musical entertainment rarely pre-
sented in any city in this country.
The sale of tickets will be announced in a
few days, and it is proposed to close the sale
one week before the concert, and united effort
is to be made to ensure such result; hence, all
DESTROYS Of good seats, should secure them as
soon as the sale is announced
INSTALLATION AT CAPE ELIZABETH
Edwin A. Harlow, late Of Wyandotte, Kansas
was installed Tuesday evening over the North
church, Cape Elizabeth, where
Rev. Henry M. Vail labored upwards of six
six years. Rev. j. Kyle, Of Alfred, conducted
the opening services Rev. E. Y. Hincks, of
State street church, preached from Cor LIST
chapter 23d verse, discourse, the aim of which
was to show that our ideal preaching should be
the apostolic model, ''Christ-crucifed, only ex-
banded and adapted to present wants. The
concrete symmetrical and practical style united
with earnestness, boldness and affection should
characterize the teachings alike of the laity and
ministry. Then the gospel would be success
and the church greater power than now.
Rev. W. F. Ober, the Scribe of the Council,
offered the installing prayer and Rev. NJ H.
Williams, the Moderator, gave the CHARGE
A. H. Wright, the hand of welcome, and Rev.
F. Southworth, the address to the people. Rev.
S. L. Bowler offered the concluding prayer and
the pastor pronounced the benediction. The
new pastor enters on his work with encourage
ing prospects.

Where to 20 for Buffalo.

"A correspondent Krites from Maine to
know if 1 can tell him where to go to
find Buffalo, and post him up about the
business generally. Certainly I can,
for I've made it my special study ever
since / determined not to go myself.
First, he must get hrst-class ticket for
the West,-no matter what railroad he
goes by ali are equally bad, and the
chances of getting to his destination
alive are too problematied to build upon
to any extent. II stylish, and fond of
show at funerals, take rosewood coffin
along with you, for they give you moth
ing but pine in st. Louis; and further
along on the prairies you'll find only
bark, principally furnished by the pra-
irie dog. BY all means take the rose
wood convenience with you; even If
y. u should not use il, there's nothing
like making a handsome appearance
when you are a travelling. Tell them
to let you off at Hays City, on the
Kansas Pacific road, ASK them to let
you on as easy as they can. Iknow all
about this fourising metropolis; 1t was
laid out by brother of mine, who tried
to trade me an interest in it soon after,
for a-double barrelled shot gun and a.
pointer dog. If you ask me how it is
laid out can only reply generally, for
my recollection of the original plan is
somewhat indistinct, but at present one
can safely say that it is laid ont fiat.
The population of Hays is active and
enterprising no stranger has ever got
away from among them with any money.
II yon haven't money they'll take your
clothes and saddle-bags, for they're
large-heated and hospitable. out there,
and don't mean to be mean about small
things. Arrived at Hays, you are in the
heart of the buffalo country. Buffalo
used to come into the streets of the
town occasionally, butt local paper
printed editorials about them, and this
finally drove them of, One old. bull
fingered on, but after they had finally
to him as the monarch Of the
Plains something over ten thousand
times, he too lay down and died. To
get buffalo now you have to go out
about five miles from town, but you
can get tolerably well killed by an In
dian without going half so far for it.
Spotted Tail will call on you himself, if
you send him your address. It's a
great place to go for health, especially
if your physicians have recommended |
to you. You can get doz-
en- arrows rooted in you without going
much beyond the city limits. The
savage comes upon you with a spring :
a hair-spring, SO to speak. If you
have no hair it dosen't matter much,-l

We have known persons to wade
through water, mud and soft manure
for eight months in the year, to get at

be made at small expense and q few

Ventilation IN Lecture Rooms
From the New York Tribune.

The gentleman who introduced Miss
Anna E. Dickinson, on the occasion OF
her recent lecture at Steinway Hall, in
requesting for -hera fair and patient
hearing, cited recent case in which
several of the. audience had-improp-
erly, as he thought-left the hall before
the completion of the lecture, and re-
minded his hearers that Wendell Holmes
after personal examination, had once
ascertained the cause of q similar phe-
nomenon to be full brain. But there
are two sides to this matter, and the
hearers, who pay handsomely to be
as those of any lecturer a polite au-
dience viii consent to sit quiet, even
when uninterested, if they are comfort
able. Make them uncomfortable, and
there is an END to forbearance. When
Senator Summer delivered his address
at Steinway Hall on the LIST inst, it was
disgracefu1ly close, and the majority
of his hearers, who sat in the body of
the hall, were restless, drowsy, and
miserable. Ts sit still for an hour
or two, under such circumstances, is
s1mp1J W 1eeu bhe lnlnu ab the expense
of the body. It is species of mild
debauchery, for which one is sure to
suffer in the flesh next day, Yet if a
man, to relieve his oppressed lungs,
goes out, he is uneharitably accused Of
having a full brain, or of being ill-bred
or offended yet it appears to be necess-
airy, to remind lecturers and lecture
room managers that an essential element
of success to their entertainments is
the infusion of the pure air Heaven into
their halls.

Something for Our Young Readers.

Our very pleasant contemporary,
Hearth and Home, tell IFS young read
ers how to take a coin out of water
without wetting the hand, and this is
their method: Fill plate with water
to the depth of about quarter of an
inch; coin is then placed in the wa
ter; piece of paper is then lighted,
and put, while burning, on the surface
of the water, and covered with a tum-
bier. As the paper burns under the
tumbler, the water viii rush up under
the tumbler, and leave the com in the
plate, when it may be lifted without
wetting the fingers. This is very in
teresting experiment, as it affords a
good illustration of the expansive pow
er of heat, and of the pressure of the
atmosphere. But we viii tell our
young friends of more wonderful and
equally simple method of doing the
same thing. Suppose You were re-
quired to take coin from the bottom
of deep jar, or even apail of water,
without wetting your hand, and sup
pose further that your naked hand was
thrust through the water, how do YOU
suppose it could be done9 Simply by
shaking a little lycopodium, (sub-
stances that may be procured cheaply
at any drug store, over the surface of
the liquid. Then plunge your hand
boldly but steadily into the water and
it viii not wet you in the least. The
cause of the waters not Hetting the
hand is the same in principal as that
which causes the dewdrop to stand in
spherical. drops on. the cabbage leaf,
and the water to roll off the ducks
back without wetting it. BY n some
what similar power, spiders and ether
Insects walk on the surface of water
without wetting themselves, and with
C..s sinking in the liquid to any per-
ceptible degree.
