The London Press ON GLADSTONE.
LONDON. JAM M-The Times this morning
comments on the address of Mr.. GLADSTONE an
nouucipg the dissolution of Parliament, SAYS
that the document reflects the characteristics
of the genius of its author. The Times also
doubts the wisdom of the repeal of the income
tax promised by the premier.
The Post says that the address almost
amounts to a coup d etdt
The Standard is confident of a conservative
majority in the elections, and severely con-
dennis the suddenness of the announcement of
the dissolution.
All the journals agree upon the popularity of
the hnancial measures promised in the address.

Sacred COncert.

0Tt is a pity that such concert as that of last
night should have been given to so small an
audience; for of its kind it was per-
feet; the monotonous style of the selections be-
ing attributable to the sacred character of the
entertainment The opening piece was the
chant, Remember now thy Creator" given by
the Temple Quartette in their inimitable style;
they also sang the hymn, LEAD kindly, Light"
composed for them by Dudley Buck, Mozart s
Aria and Chorus from "Zauberfote," in which
was shown to its best advantage Mr.. Ryder's
magnificent bass fvoice, the full capacity OF
which we never before realized, the Quartette
of Kreutzer, clark! above u.s." which was
encored, they giving in answer to the encore
that grand old hymn of j. G. Warren's, "God
is love-" ''The long day Closes" sung last
night for the first time by them, and with Miss
Barr "The image of the Rose
Miss Carrie Barr, the talented young soprano
who visited us last month for the first time,
has evidently not been forgotten by the people
of Portland. As she came on to the stage heI
dress struck us as being peculiarly rich and
handsome, it being of heavy corn colored silk
trimmed with black velvet very becoming to
ucI SJyic VI Dtduty. que WAS III perfect voice
and sang lMeyerbeer's Prayer and Aria from
''P Etoile du Nord," the aria "Gratins Agimus
tibi,' which was encored, that most beautiful
of sacred songs, "Judth," and with the Quar-
tette "The Image of the Rose
Mr.. Fessenden gave a recitative and aria
from Mendelsshon, eff with all your hearts,"
1t seems to us that we have never heard the
Temnle Ouartette sing so we'll and in such ner-
feet unison as they did last night. Miss Bars
vice is clear as a bell, and evinces the mos t
careful training; it bids fair to make her name
prominent among the noted singers of our
time. We have but one fault to find, it is, lack
of expression. Of Mr.. Doe the accompanist
we can only say that it would be relief to
hear him make one mistake to show that such
a thing were possible. The concert was one of
series of eleven which will close most of the

On HIS LAST LEGs.-This hing the
d. S. DIS begin at Grand Army Hall course
Of four entertainments for the Swedenborgian
Society. The association of the three initials
has achieved quite a reputation in amateur
theatricals, and it puts play upon the boards
in excellent style. Some unusually good per-
sonations have been given in times past, which
have led careless speaking people to say that
d. S. D. stands for "dev'lish satisfactory
dramas" This evening the minor drama "On
His Last Legs" will be given, to be followed by
farce. Those who witnessed the rehearsals
are confident that the plays will be presented
in manner that will be credit to the COM
pany and that will be eminently satisfactory to
the public Tickets for the course of four en-
tertamments are but one dollar and can be
procured at Lowell's, Schumacher's. G. Fl.
Lamson's, G.. A. Harmon's, and Sturgis.
Evening tickets 50 cents.
