upon Mr.. Minot, blacksmith at Knightvlle,
in Liverpool, and that at present he was SICK In
hospital at Richmond, Va. He also stated
that he had seen the son IN California last No
vember Mr. Minot knew that his sou had
been in California and in Liverpool, and of
course believed the fellows story, but to make
certain he produced the family album and
asked him to point out the sons photograph,
which was done at once. Rouse said that the
son wanted his father to come on and see him
as he was very destitute. Mr.. Minot was una
Bile to leave home, being unwell, but believing
the fellows story, gave him $25 to take to his
son. Before leaving he remarked that be be-
longed on board the steamer Arizona, which
was at this port. After the man had left Mrs.
Minot became anxious about her son and de-
termined to come to the city and try to get
further information in regard to the son. Mrs.
Minot went to the Office of Chas. Chase & Co.
to inquire about the steamer, when she learned
that no such steamer was here. She then went
to the police station and entered complaint
against the man for obtaining money on false
pretenses The deputy marshals made thor.
ough search but we're unable to find the man.

The Beckett Concert.

The Beckett concert last evening at City Hall
called out a good house, and but for the I'M
favorable weather every seat doubtless would
have been taken. The concert was certainly
one of the finest ever given in Portland, and
the audience, trIfle cold at first, warmed up.
to real enthusiasm before the evening was half
finished. The selections we're admirably made,
and with view to bringing out to the best
advantage each of the four voices heard.
Robert Burns passonatsly sweet 80, My
Loves like red, red Rose" set to part song,
opened the programme, and Tennyson's beau
tiful cradle song, from "The Princess" closed
it,
The beneficiary had reason to be gratified at
the heartiness of the welcome extended to him.
His first appearance alone was in BlumenthaPs
"My Queen and in response to an impor-
tunate recall he gave the lively "Yeoman's
Wedding" He was in excellent voice, and his
strong, sympathetic baritone, though marred
little by the dsagreeable echo in the hall. was
heard to peculiar advantage in his opening
number In the striking bella Image" from
the Semiramde. with Miss Cary, he was again
recalled, aud the two gave Ga CT Darem"
much to the qualification of the audience
Miss Cary's matchless contralto, which was
the soul of the opening part song, was given
chance to display its strength, volume and
sweetness,in the "Non Conosci" from Mignon.
The house would not let her rest until she
again appeared, and sang the tender and long
ing "Kathleen Mavourneen."
Miss Bsebe was received with marked favor,
and sang with her usual power and sweetness
in the part songs and in her solo, "Tell Me-
My Heart" An encore brought out "Where
is Another so Sweet"
Mr. Nilsen was a surprise to most of the
audience His voice is an unusually sweet,
enstrating tenor, with ringing quality to it
that is novel and pleasing. Its brilancy was
markedly displayed in GAS I'd Nothing Else
to Do" which he gave in response to recall.
The vocalists were materially assisted by
Mr. Kotzschmar's accompaniment, which
were given with his usual correctne IS, deicacy,
and quickness of touch and strength of execu-
ton.
