day; and in the evening the assemblage OF all
the brethren and sisters in barn, where q
lOve-fcast supper of mutton broth was SOL

washing of tho feet of the whole multitude OF

In spite of the oddly of these rites, we are
told by observers that the simplicity and de-
"votional feeling of the wOrshipers was 80
great as to command the sympathy OF the
great multitude of spectators" We can read
lily conceive that the sight nowadays OF hun
dreds OF women, many of them young ana
pretty, dressed in scrupulOusly coarse and ugly
attire, was enough to take the breath OF any
spectator. There is delicate, devOnt coquctry
in the Quakers' spOtless white and dove color,
of which the pretty Quaker knows how to reap
the full advantage. But these poor Iunker
women, in their ugly gowns and tight MOB
caps, were literally notifying the flesh for re-
ligion's sake. This recent cOnvocation mas
brought other things to light about them.

not very apparent perhaps; they build no

Christian sects to their own way Of thinking;
there is 10 chance in their religious development
for the OutgrOwth of Cardinal Mctloskey,
Sturgeon, or Bcecher. The quiet Thinker IN
the mountains of Pennsylvania or Virginia
tries to deal justly, walk humbly, and keep
himself unspotted from the world, and Is
content.

was foretod for these latter times, one power

The TTNKERS.

During last week the Thinkers, one of the
most peculiar religious sects in the country,
held their annual Convention near Lancaster,
Penn. Only those of our readers who have
lived in the farming districts of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, or Virginia will have, perhaps,
any personal knowledge of this feeblest of
Christian 1ocks, and they, probably, will re-
member them only as hatless old men, with
patriarclal boards to their waists, and bonnet
less women, in linsey gowns, who came down
to the villages from the hills once or twice a
year in their fashioned wagons to sell
their produce and be hOOted at by the
children. A Tunker's wagon used to gather
staring crowd about it as readily as
the band of the coming circus. In all parts of
the country they are known as solitary peO-
pie, dwelling in hill-places, apart from politics,
fashion, or any kind of worldly turmoil. Their
recent cOnvocation was held on quiet farm,
according to their habit, rather than in q town ;
but it attracted large crowds from all parts
of the State, who apparently were of
the opinion that no circus or collection
of wild beasts could offer 80 amazing
o spectacle as this unnOticed sect that for
generations without conflict or heat of any
sort, had held itself alOOf from the world in
belief and department. The services also were
of remarkable character, consisting of the
usual religious exercises of preaching, prayers

During his short term as Mayor, Alderman Vance
found occasion to declare that under the absurd
system which had grown up whereby the head OF
the City Government was required to sign separate
checks for every petty disbursement made by the
Controller. the greater part Of the Mayors time was
necessarily spent in this purely clerical dnty, and
that il was physically as well morally impossible
for him TO have any accurate supervision OF the ac-
counts he was paying. He freely declared that
if he were to remain in office longer one OF his
first efforts would be to secure some reform
by which the Mayor should he able to give the bnk
of his time TO something better than the work Of
clerk Mayor Wickham is experiencing the same
difficulty II is absurd to expect him to sign sepa
rate check for every salary paid. The people of
New-York want their Mayor to be rather more than
an assistant to cashier and in the stand which the
Hayor has taken against this eXaction he deserves
80 far as he has Law Oh his side the hearty support
Of all who wish tho city to enjoy the services of
Mayor with time to attend to the real duties OF his
Office.

the terms offered by their employers must not
be COMPOUNDED with a general collapse OF the
strike. The miners of the Schuylkill region,
who constitute the main body of the strikers,
still hold out though it is stated that several
collieres in the northern part of the district
have resumed work.

In the able address of ex-Gov. Bullock be-
fore the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Brown
University, to which We devote much space
this morning, something more than the usual
oratory of such occasions Is successfully at
tempted. When we have made all due allow
ances for climate and soil and geographical
situation, it is still evident that the progress
of the United States has been due less to
those than to the character OF our people and
our political institutions. These controlling
elements of q successful national career have
been largely nodded by the men of intellectual
eminence from the earlier days of the colonies
to the present hour, whose lives are brought
before us in brief review in this address. So
long as Our country has its destiny shaped by
its men of intellect, its prosperity is secure.

A NOVEL ARRANGEMENT.-We are pleased
to learn that the management of the Museum
propose TO put into effect the plan so popular
in Western cities, that of the so-called 'stock
holders or merchants tickets. The tickets,
which are exchangeable at the box Office for
reserved seats without extra charge, are put up
in packages of twenty-five, and are sold at a
liberal discount The plan is favorite one at
the West, and works satisfactorily to both man.
ayers and purchasers. Its merits are obvious,
and are in part suggested by the name. Our
wholesale merchants will find package a
handy thing to have about when country trad
ers visit their stores. A ticket to the Museum
is good thing to offer to the customer end
something he need not hesitate to accept. He
will pass pleasant evening and want to come
again. The arrangement is good one too for
those who visit the Museum once or twice a
week, or who wish to purchase tickets for their
families. The discount is liberal enough to
make it worth notice.
The class of plays which are to be put upon
the boards at the Museum this season, and the
excellent company which is to interpret these
plays, ensures the popularity of that place of
amusement. A class of entertainments will
be given to witness which will be a pleasure to
take friends and visitors. The package ticket
system in this light should certainly prove a
popular one, and convenient alike to manage
ment and patrons.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1875-10-07

THE MUsEUM.-"Led "Astray" called out a
large audience at the Museum last evening.
Many of those who saw the play last season
were in attendance and naturally drew COM
PARSONS between the two renditions. In some
respects the company now at the Museum give
finer Interpretation than did the old COM
pany; in others they give no better. The part
of Armande received understanding treatment
at the hands of Miss Waldron. She lacks the
imposing presence of Miss Cameron, but has
decided advantages over her in the matter of
voice. Her acting is natural and noticeably
free from exaggeration, and her voice in its pa
thetic undertones is admirably adopted to the
romantic and exacting wife of Chandoce. Miss
Stratton has in figure marked advantage ov er
Miss Victoria Cameron in the role of Matilde
She however lacks the ''exuberance'' of that
actress, though she gives vivid representation.
Miss Ulmer is an excellent Suzanne, and fully
meets the demands of the part. Mrs. Preston
finds in the Countess role eminently suited to
her capabilities, and gives finished imper-
sonation.
Last season Mr.. Arnold gave an admirable
rendition of the cold, careless, and outspoken
RodOlph. His rendition last evening did not
differ noticeably from that The sacrifice of
his moustach, made necessary by the dialect
parts he has been recently playing, causes
some alteration in his personal appearance.
The part of De Lesparre, poet, sentimentalist.
intriguer, was capitally taken by Mr. Norris
who gave the best Characterization he has yet
afforded u.s. Mr. Bascomb was more at home
in the Baron than in the leading role he took
last year, and offered a pralsworthy interpreta-
ton of that exquisite. The part of Hector was
well taken by Mr.. Curtis, though the rendition
was marred by his marked tricks of manner and
voice. In these respects he was in disagreeable
contrast to Mr.. Calder, who however last sea-
son dressed the part shockingy Mr.. Souther-
land was good O Hara. His characterization
was not SO broad aslthat by Mr. Verney, but de-
cidedly mole finished.
As whole the play is presented in better
method than last year, more attention being
paid to the detail aud situation. For example,
the tableau at the end of the second act is
much better managed. The play will be given
this evening only, as it must give way to
"Black-Eyed Susan" Friday.
