ton, coated tongue, pain in the shoulderbade feel

heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity
and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from disor-

Mr.. EDIToR:-The complaint in Fridays
Argus about applause I, as one Of the many
admirers of artistic acting, think ought to be
answered-as it was evidently prompted by Ma
licious feelings. 1 was there and am an ad-
mirer of Miss Ulmer's acting, but not a per
sonal friend, and l applauded her much-for
she certainly deserved and merited it. 1t is the
most artistic and finished. piece of acting L
ever saw; and for the benefit of that weak
nerved, sensitive person, l only wish l had had

started off on cruise down the harbor Satur-

weather was not propitious for a pleasure ex
cursion, but as the arrangements were made to
60, go it was Two of the committee backed
out, but the rest of the committee made up for
their absence. The yacht ran down the harbor
to Goose Island, where the anchor was let go,
and after good square meal all hands made
for the island to hunt the feathered tribe
Capt. Paul secured fine large duck, and Mr.,
Somerby, rather than return with an empty
game bag, shot squirrel The rest of the par
ty returned without SO much as seeing any
game. When the hunters arrived on board the
wind was blowing gale, ana after consulta-
ton it was decided unsafe to attempt to return
to the city. This announcement was not well
come news to some of the party who had not
their sea legs on, but as it was the captains or
ders, all hands decided TO make the best of it.
This yacht is fitted for just such cruises and is
well provided with sleeping accommodations
for large number. After making the craft
secure all hands turned in and enjoyed the
night much better than was expected. In the
morning one of the party com planned of being
sea sick and the steward prescribed for him.
When the dose was mixed he attempted to
put in little more sugar." but he didn' 1t
isn't safe to say salt to him, that's all.
Sunday passed off very quietly, and it was
expected to return to the city early, but there
was strong head wind and the anchor was
not weighed until three o'clock. The wind
was dead ahead then and it was half past eight
when the craft and lis passengers arrived at
her moorings in the harbor. She was obliged
to beat all the way up, and some of the time in
very light wind. The crew acted nicely, and
by the time the va ,ht returned the most of
them knew their places. All hands voted the
trip success and would be glad to go again.
The Viva showed good sea going qualities and
Capt. Paul is perfectly at home at the wheel in

LOOK OUT FOR HIM-He is a reformer aud
his stock in trade consists of an unlimited
number of personal DRINKS, a widowed mother
with bleeding heart, blasted prospects in life
and any amount of "cheek" Four weeks ago
he lay dead drunk in the gutter but the next
morning he felt so badly he concluded to re-
form and has succeeded admirably. In the
prayer meeting he speaks with the tongues of
angels and wrings tears from the eyes of the
sympathetic by the tale of his misfortunes and
the grief of his widowed mother Sometimes
he is Universalst and again Baptist, in
short he is no stckler for creeds. When he
made his advent here his exchequer was ex-
ceedingly low, but D. B. Kicker & Co. have
contributed to it to the amount of $3.50, and he
has now gone to other parts of the earth to
preach the gospel His last evangelical work
in this city was performed at the First Baptist
church last Tuesday evening, when he told the
sad story of his life. 1t was the old, old
story of brilliant prospects crushed by taste
for alcohol. He was a clerk in Jordan &
Marsh's and was destined to become famous in
the dry goods business, when alas, he got
drunk and woke up ruined man. He then
had capital enough to become a reformer, and
became one. He swore outwardly to never get
drunk any more, and inwardly to steal all he
could and, so far as we know, he has religious
ly observed both VOWS. He calls himself Frank
Cook, probably because that is not his name.

HE MUSEUM.-"The Two Orphans, as the
play deserves, keeps the boards at the Museum
at least another week. The acting, good at the
start, has been steadily growing better, and
the drama is now presented in finished man
ner both as regards playing and stage effects.
Repetition has given to the actors ease and
readiness; and perfect familiarity with the
text and regular business affords them leisure
to study up effects and to judiciously helghten
the lights and deepen the shades Perhaps
no other member of the company shows so
marked Improvement as Miss Umer. This
ambitious and painstakipg artist now renders
the role of Louise" with great force and won
derful pathos. Her conception of the character
is natural and nobly sustained. In the fourth
and seventh acts her rendition shows great
dramatic ability. But in the last act when she
finds the key we look for a little stronger exhi-
ton; for the key means her liberty and her
restoration to the loving protection of "Hen-
riette." Mr.. Norris, too, shows marked i'm
provement in ''Pierre," though we should like
to see in his characterization little more of
the manner Of q man utterly wretched, broken
down, hopeless. His makeup conveys this,
but his voice is at times too confident, and his
way of speaking quicker and stronger than it
should be. The Countess of Miss Stratton
is noticeably toned down and improved
We are glad to announce that people Of
neighboring towns are to have opportunities to
see this play. opportunities which they will not
be wise to neglect; for the Musuem manage
ment offer them what is in many respects the
finest dramatic exhibition ever seen in New

passed Falmouth had protested in writing and

When the act was repealed Falmouth rang the
bells, Illuminated, hurrahed, and according to
one historian, got very drunk indeed. All the
encroachments of the British crown which
followed, were met in the same spirit, till, to
use Capt Mowatts expression, 'sthe rod Of
correction" must be applied. But there were
other reasons why Falmouth was selected tc
feel the correcting rod. The bombardment
was without doubt ordered by Admiral Graves
commanding the British fleet at Boston, but
owing to representations made by Mowatt and
one Coson, who built ships near the foot Of
what is now India street. Both of those men
had personal revenge to crafty. Colson was a
Tory at heart and as far as be dared opposed
the inhabitants in their resistance to British
oppression. Finally the committee to see that
the non-importation agreement was kept, for
bade him to land some rigging sails and stores
which had been brought from England for a
ship he was building, and ordered them back
to England. This order incensed Colson, and
instead of obeying it he procured the assistance
of Capt. Mowatt and his ship, and sailed away
with Mowatt in May preceding the lombard

time greatly enraged the citizens and the peo
pie of the surrounding country, and the latter,
though dissuaded by the inhabitants of the

Thompson, were encamped here awaiting al

he would burn the city if they were not re-
