A New INDUsTRY.-Dr. Henry 7. Cum
mings of this city, the well-known chemist, is
spending the winter in Florida, where he has
invented process by which the Spanish moss
of that region may be converted in few hours
into an admirable substitute for curled hair.
This moss, prepared by a very clumsy and tedi-
GUS process, has for some time been used by
upholsterers The negroes gather it from the
trees ard bury it in the sand, where it lies for
months until the outer covering of the fibre
rots. Then it is carried to the factories where
it undergoes a tedious and long continued ma
nipulation before it is ready for the market.
The tough and inc fibre very much resembles
horse hair and answers the same purpose in
many kinds of upholstery. The!process invent
ed by DR.. Cummings prepares the moss for the
market in few hours.

THE MUsEUM.-Dumas' Marguerite Gau-
tier, the "Camille" of the English version, is
an improbability, and it is something difficult
for the spectator, unless the illusion is very
strong indeed, to bring himself to sympathize
with her woes 1t is only excellent acting that
can make one forget the improbabilties of the
character and the situations. Last evening
Miss Miles did succeed in creating an illusion,
and gave strong though uneven characteriza-
tion of the Frenchman's erring and generous
heroine. The careless gayety of the first act,
the passionate avowal in the second, the sacri-
Fl ,e and its consequent feverish excitement, the
exhaustion which follows and the death, were
all powerfully and in the main correctly por-
trayed. There was exaggeration it is true,
and faults of mannerism, but there was indis-
putable power. Miss Miles is mistress of her
art and understands how to make effective
use af all her resources. Her mobility of feat
ure too adds greatly to the strength of her por-
trayal. Frequently she missed the more deli
cate touches in the character of the lady of the
Camellias, and reached higher success in the
delineation of the disagreeable than of the win
ming traits. This was due partly no doubt to
OuO iduitS VI JUG lIuSHoA ftrniOu VI Iut pidy.
1t requires an actor of genius to reach beyond
the text Of the traditional business and grasp
the conception of Dumas. But the rendition
was one of decided merit, as was to be expect
ed; for it is in strongly accentuated character 8
like "Camille'' that Miss Miles appears to be
most successful.
The support was good. Mr.. Arnold was an
ardent, impassioned Armand, making hot
love in the first scenes, cold and angry when
the separation takes place, devoted and re-
morseful in the closing act. In the first act Mr..
Calder did not appear to have correct con-
ception of "Gaston", but after that he came
better up to the requirements of the part. Mr..
Snyder was good "Ds Vaiville," Mr.. Adams
fair Monsieur Duval," and Ms Ulmer an
excellent 'Gustave." AS MADAME Prud-
ence'' Mrs. Preston was fairly successful The
appetite of that vora,ious milliner is quite as
good as when she last appeared in Portland.
As "Nanine" Miss Ulmer showed the requisite
tenderness, fidelity and affection. Miss Char
lotte Neville gave a sprightly and in every way
satisfactory rendition of the young woman who
appears in the caste as "Climpe.'
The play will be repeated this evening. Miss
Cameron does not appear on the 18th as has
been stated. Her first appearance will be a
week from Monday.
