ton. We understand that few good seat

The Concert.

The concert by the, Mendelsshon Club last
evening was in every respect most enjoyable
affair. The audience, a very large one, testified
its appreciation by repeated applause. Where
everything was so excellent it is somewhat diff
ficult to particularize. Ryan's clarinctte fam
TASTE was perhaps tue most difficult piece on
the programme, and the most artistically rem
dered, but Heindls flute fantasie was, to our
mind, the most pleasing. The selection from
Mendelsshon, the song without words, was SIM
ply exquisite.
Mrs. I'll. NJ. Smith was accorded very fiat
tering reception, and was ensored at every ap-
pearance. Her voice is exceedingly soft and
pleasing. Though it at first gives the impress
sion of lack of volume, it is soon found to be
very penetrating and reaches the remotest cor
ner of the hail. Her most marked success was
in 'gratias agimus tb,' in which the peculiar
qualities of her voice showed to the best effect
The course has been in point of popularity
a most decided success. Its uniform excellence
has been very noticeable, and reflects the high
'est degree of credit upon the Army and Navy
Union. The musical talent has been the best,
s5utside of the few surprisingly excellent sing
ers who command the revenues of a small State
Tor an evenings entertainment that could be
procured in the country. Neither pains nor
expense have been spared to render the course
"A satisfactory one. The expense this season
has been about $4,000. The receipts, on account
of the stormy weather, have not been what the
managers had a right to expect, The sale of
course tickets, though large, was not sufficient
to cover the great expense, and the sale of even
ing tickets from the cause above mentioned has
been unusually small.

Brct Harae.

This evening the most original of living
American authors, aud in many respects the
foremost, delivers u lecture in City Hall.
| Though the reputation and popularity of Bret
Harte are of a recent growth, he is by no means
a novice in literature. For several years lie
has been at work with the pen, and has thrown
off many jeu desprit andlmany charming
bit of pathos which went the rounds of the pa
pers, very often with no name attached, and
did but little to make the author known to
fame But when Harte devoted himself to pic
turing the strange and uniqueslife of the Paci-
tic slope, he struck into hitherto almost un-
touched field and one in which his peculiar
genius his original humor and his quaint,
genuine pathss had full opportunity to develop
itself. Those marvellous tales published in the
Orerlaad made his name household word
with the reading public and the happy con-
ceit of the "Heathen Chinee," added to an al
ready well-assursd and widespread popularity.
He has now put into the form of a lecture the
ripe results of his experience and observation
in that Pacific slope which he so delights to
paint,-a lecture which has been enthusiastic
ally received wherever delivered, and has de-
lighted thousands by its humor its pathos and
its exquisite word pictures. This lecture he
delivers tonight, and we canuot doubt that the
intelligent people of Portland will very gener-
ally turn out TO welcome this rising star OF our
literature and to enjoy the most charming lee
ture of the season.

Mr.. EDITOR Please insert the following
note taken from the Christian Union of July
23d: There appears to be no doubt that the
immense fuss made over the Shah has covered a
diplomatic scheme for close alliance between
England and Persia, against Russian intentions.
1t seems also that the German Empire is backing
England in the business. The expectation is
that moderate English force in India can sufi-
GENTLY assist the Shah to repel Russian advance
anywhere in that quarter Of the world. England
has six millions OF Mohammedan subjects in In
dia, and q war with Russia headed by the Shah
would mean to them Islam against the 'infdels
of the Greek Christian Church The Shah is
compelled to do something. he has been wor-
red by instructions all his life; ne has seen his
population decay for years; be knows that his
realm is honeycombed by religious dissent he
found his army worthless in 1856; the famine
lately upset his people St. Petersbnrgh has put
him under pressure, and be must have 90 ally or
90 under"
As you applaud the Shah's course, will you be
so good as to let the benighted antieessionists
know what diplomatic scheme for a close alliance
between Hawaii and the United States exists, if
any? What Empire is backing America in the
business? Has the Government at Washington
put His M1jesty Lunallo under pressure Must
we have an ally or 60 under? A fair and candid
answer to these interrOgations will perhaps go Ear
to bring the uuinitiated into harmony Of thought
and action wi th those who are inside politics.
