pany now at the Museum has begun to win
that success which it deserves. Last evening
Miss Cameron and Mr. Bartlett received per-
feet ovation. Despite the Mercantile enter
tainment at City Hall and other attractions
every seat was taken and the aisles and lobby
were filled with spectators. The audience was
an enthusiastic and appreciative one, and Miss
Cameron and Mr. Bartlett were received with
frequent and long continued applause, and re-
peatedly called before the curtain.
Of the merits of the acting it is scarcely
necessary to speak, but we cannot forbear once
more giving the praise which is due to the admir-
ably artistic and finished impersonation of'Psu-
line" given by Miss Cameron, who is an actress
of rare ability, and who commands the sympa-
thetic applause of her audiences flom the mo-
ment she first appears on the stage to the fall
of the curtain. Now that her merits have be-
come generously known we look to sec crowded
houses at the Museum every evening.
Mr. Bartlett also demands high need of
praise. 1t is but seldom that Portland aud
fence sees his equal in quiet force and finished
acting. In furnishing actors of so marked
merit the management deserves well of the
public, and should be rewarded with hearty
and generous patronage.
In consequence of the immense amount of
labor required for the proper production of
''The Octoroon' it is found impossible to pre-.
sent it this evening as at first intended. But
it will positively be placed upon the stage Fri
day evening
The splendid reception accorded to THE
Lady of Lyons last evening induces the man
agement to present it once more, and il will be
given this evening" positively for the last time.
Army and Navy Course.
Everybody has been on the tip-toe Of antici-
patton for the opening concert by the New
York Glee Singers, and tonight will see as
sembled in City Hall the fashion of our city.
We who have no opera season, look forward
to the splendid concerts Of the Army and Navy
Union for the brilliant audiences that attend
the opera in larger cities. The concerts of the
New York Glee Club in New York and Boston
are always attended by the elite of the two
cities, and Portland will not be backward in
welcoming them here. Miss Beebe is charm
ing vocalist with pure soprano voice of great
compass. Miss Finch, contralto, will make
herself a favorite here as she has everywhere
that she sung. The gentlemen of the club are
all fine singers and connected with the leading
church choirs in New York. We earnestly
hope that everybody will hear them, as we
know they form the best club in the country at
this time.
The gentlemen Of the Army and Navy com.
mttee, presents rare programme of artists
and lecturers, and everybody should take pride
in supporting this society of returned Portland
soldiers Remember they raise the money from
these lectures and concerts TO help their COM
rades, and the long winter before us will prob
ably make many calls on the treasury. Get
your tickets early. There are many good re-
served seats yet for sale at Rand & Themes,
and the course tickets, each ticket good for a
seat, are.for sale at the music and book stores.
JUBILANT.-The Democrats went about with
happy faces yesterday. In the morning they
looked sort of confused and dazed like, but to-
wards nghtfall they began to really believe
that they had won victory, and so went right
off to the park and fired a salute. Their joy
was dashed, however, by the thought that nc
plumber would result, and that the Republican,
would be put upon their guard and buckle or
| their armor for 1876.
The Republicans felt rather relieved, on the
whole, because the process of unloading came
so soon as it did, thus opening heir eyes il
| time for the work before them.
