HARVARD GLEE CLUB.-We are glad to see
by the advertisement in our amusement col
umn. that Portanders are at last to be favored
with style of concert such as university towns
have heretofore enjoyed the monopoly of; we
refer to the concert to be given in Fluent Hall
next Friday evening by the two musical soce-
ties of Harvard, "The Glee Club" and the "Pi-
erian Sodality;" the latter of the two being the
finest amateur orchestra in New England
These societies number sixteen members each,
and are composed entirely of Harvard students.
The programme of the concert will consist
largely of jolly rollicking college songs, such as
will revive old and happy memories of their
student days among the college men of the city,
who will of course turn out en- n,dSSe to well
come their younger brothers. We have attend
ed several Of these concerts in Cambridge, and
have never enjoyed anything more heartily; so
popular are they in that city that tickets to
them are offered for sale but few hours be-
fore they are all gone. From the rapidity with
which Stockbridge is selling reserved seats the
boys bid fair to have a hall crowded to over
flowing; and we trust that they will be so well
patronized that their visits will be repeated
many times, and that we may have chance to
enjoy their soul-stirring concerts as often as
cur more fortunate neighbors of Cambridge.

A large audience gathered at City Hall last
evening to hear John B. Cough lecture on tenn
perance-as though all his lectures are not tenn
perance lectures! He began by speaking of his
nrst appearance in this city thirty years ago, as
an advocate of the temperance movement He
then went on to advocate total abstinence as
the only effectual method of combating the
evils of intemperance, and INDUCED in keen
thrusts of ridicule at those who condemn alb
stinence as cowardly and advocate moderate
drinking as the only manly and reasonable
course. While acknowledging that there were
moderate drinkers, men who were never intox-
icated, who were good business men and who
were good Christians he contended that the
great majority could not keep within the limits
of moderation. Those who can be moderate
should nevertheless refrain on account of the
example, and should be willing to bear the bur-
dens of their weaker brothers. There are those
who claim that all may be moderate drinkers,
and those who fly to total abstinence are weak
in will. Those who advance this view know
not of what they speak. The habit of drink
ing once formed requires an iron will to break
from it, and continuous effort to hold freedom.
than of i'll. The man of fine sensibilities, of
highly strung nerves will almost inevitably fall
under the dominion of liquor, while the heavy,
phlegmatic man may indulge in liquor with
comparative safety
The speaker said it might seem strange that
a necessity should exist for delivering tenn
perance lecture in Mane where stringent
prohibtory law is on the statute book. Many
think there are no drunkards in Maine. Indeed
he heard a man say not long since that he was
in Portland two days and couldn't find glass
of liquor though he hunted far and wide. Mr.
Cough didn't believe this statement, and no
one with nose, unless he had bad cold,
could.
The speaker then went on to give vivid and
picturesque description of the women's crusade,
a movement with which he heartily sympathiz-
ed. He told of procession of 1900 women
which he saw at Pttsbarg, of the women pick
eted in groups of two or three before the sa-
looms in Xenia, and related many touching in
cidents of the great revival.
This evening the well known lecture on "Pe-
culiar People" will be given.

The Other Thanks2iyip n i.

The White League thanksgiving, which is
said TO have occurred on the nineteenth in
slant, was tolerable success as political
effort. though as religious occasion it did
not pan out we'll in devotion. The manner
in which the day was kept at Minden may
be taken as a fair sample of the day
throughout the State, and we give the fol.
lowing comical account of its observance
there. taken from the Minden Democrat:
X. H. Mari. tho noble president of the
Committee of Seventy, appointed Thursday
last. November 10, az the day upon which
the white people, and those OF the cOlored
people who cast their votes with them,
should thank God for the victory they had
won. Consequently, verywheye through.
out the State the people responded to this
call by suspending business. and turning
out en- Inasse to the various churches, to
give thanks to the Ruler of all things for
tho blessings be had sent to an oppressed
people. And sweet Minden, with her true
patriots and liberty loving citizens, deserves
the highest praise for their unanimous turn.
out. and particularly deserving Of praise
are our noble merchants. just think of
their closing no their stores and going to
church to thank God simply because He pos
sibly had something to do with the defeat of
radicalism throughout the country and a
victory which promises a better govern
ment, lower taxes, better times, more money,
increased value of real estate, peace, pros
,perity and happiness for the people, just
these and nothing more, who wonld have
believed it, had they seen it? Echo an
Iswers, none. No, not one. But what a
beautiful sight it was to zee those business
men, forgetful of everything else, just when
the minister of the Gospel at the Baptist
Church was telling of greatness, goodness
and mercy Of God, solemnly bowling their
heads across their counters, trying to con-
vince country man that it was cheaper to
buy tape by the wholesale IA bunch for
twenty five cents) than to purchase five
yards at q nickle yard. Our heart is too
full; we can't say any more. Let US pray.

THE LOST STEAMBOAT EMPIRE.-About
three 70 urths of the drowned bodies have
been re- covered, and each day more are re.
covered. The wreckers are meeting with
better success than was expected, and in a
short time divers will be able to make a
definite statement as to the condition of the
steamer itself.
Two bodies were found yesterday, sup
posed to be deck hands, but their names
were not ascertained.
Messrs. Flanders and Moffat, local in
spectors, are diligently employed in trying
to obtain positive information concerning
the weight of the cargo, expecting to settle
the question as to whether the boat was
overloaded or not,
