DRUNKENNESS AND DIsTURBANcE.-Mary
Kiley gave matinee yesterday afternoon at
her residence on New Federal street. Mary
has given similar entertainments before and
always with distinguished success, though the
bill for broken furniture has rendered them
rather expensive. Yesterday she outdid her
previous Efforts, and when officers Morse and
Laughton interfered she was very indignant
and fought them tooth and nail. Near the
corner of Pearl and Congress streets on her
way to the station, she shocked the meeting
goers by her abandon in the use of both sets of
limbs, giving performance which had twice
the indecency of the can-can and not half its
grace. Finally one officer seized her by the
shoulders and the other by the feet and bore
her to the police station, where they deposited
her upon an iron bedstead. Mary's language
was not always chaste and there were indica-
tions that she had been drinking.

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be at
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constpated and the system
to remain in disordered condition, until the disor-
der has time to develop itself. An ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled
with the complaints now very prevalent headache,
sea- or feverish skin take without delay Schencks
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action 1t at once strikes at
the root Of the disease and produces healthy to
the system. People need suffer from any dis
ease arising from dsordered condition OF the liver
if they would take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady Families
leaving home for the summer months should take
three or four boxes OF these pills with them. They
have an almost instantaneous effect They will re-
lieve the patient of headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding
bile, and will effectually prevent bilious attack

PORTLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT.-We are in
formed that radical changes are contemplated
in the fire department in this city, which will
render it more efficient, if possible, than at
present, and place Portland in the first rank
in the matter of protection against fire. Among
the changes will be the following:
A new steamer is to be added, and stationed
at Libby's Corner; new hook and ladder
house is to be built on Bracket street, and
Eagle No. to be located at that point: Wash
ington No. will then be removed to Eagle s
present quarters. 1t is also intended to have
four men in each company employed as per-
manent force, with regular salary, AS in other
cities, and to reduce the pay of the other mem
bers.
1t is said that insurance rates are lower in
Portland at the present time, than in any other
city, in consequence of our freedom from fires,
good water facilities and efficient fire depart
ment.-Sunday Times.
Chief Engineer Merrill says the above is
news to him, as he never heard such changes
spoken of. For several years past movement
has been on foot to move No. steamer further
up town, and give Eagle HOOK and ladder COM
pany the house on Bracket street. The Com
mittee on Fire Department have refused to re-
port in favor of this change even.

tions have already been bestowed upon
another. For this insult be is challenged by
81. Br!s, a character which was admirably aE-
sumed by Mr.. Comfy. BE possesses fee
bass voice, which will always be heard with
pleasure in Richmond.
Mr.. Peakes as Marcel was enthusiastically
welcomed and sang with greater feeling and
effect as be realized how many of his old
friends were there to greet him. The
rest of the company sang very well. It Is
needless to continue the plot further except
TO say that Marcel, Raoul, and Valentine are
finally attacked By murderers, and killed,
and their bodies taken from the stage.
The costuniDg of the opera is simply
grand, and the entertainment went off de.
lightfully. The chorus is full and rich, and
the orchestra Is perhaps the best that accom-
panies any company. But one thing is want.
ing to make the audience near the doors
more comfortable, and that is the expulsion
OF the peanut. eaters, who insist upon break.
ing the shells at the most critical points in
the opera. Peanut.eaters ought not to go
to operas, or if they do they ought to do
their eating before the opera begins. We
hope this warning will he sufficient.
To night will be the event of the season,
on which occasion the Marriage OF Figaro
will be sung.
