MANNERS AT TABLE.--As do the old Sc
will the children do. If, when child
asks for biscuit, it is picked up by the
parent and handed around one at time,
or thrown to the child, there is no chance
to reprOve the child when it does the
same to the parent. When parent eats
with knife, and forgets to use the fork,
the child is warranted in doing the same
A chatty, cheerful table is always to be
desired, free from formal stiffness; but
freedom is not rudeness, ease is not boor-
ishness; good breeding will show its
presence quicker at table than in the par
lar or saloon. Let parents be careful to
set the example, and the children will
not be slow to do likewise.

Outwitting q Tyrant.

II was in the year 1s4S that the leading
citizens of the chief towns of the Lom-
bardo-Vepetian kingdom avowed openly
their detestaton of Austria, and they
only awaited favorable opportunity to
throw off the yoke. At one of the thea
ters of Venice, ON a certain evening, a
magnificent bouquet was thrown upon the
stage at the feet of beautiful danSease.
1t was rare piece of workmanship, was
the bouquet, and its three colors, of red,
white, and green, were so arranged that
the symbol Of Italian independence could
not be mistaken. The danseuss picked
it up, and kissed it repeatedly, and pressed
it rapturously to her bosom, while the
vast audience applauded vociferously.
On the following morning the actress
was summoned before the police author
tiles, and sharply questioned touching
her absurd treatment of the boquet which
had been thrown to her on the previous
evening She tremblingly answered that
she had only done as she always did
when such beautiful tributes were given
her.
Every WELL" said the Austrian chief
thereafter, when bouquet is thrown to
you thus publicly, you will trample
upon it with your foot. Do you under
stand2"
She said she understood, and she was
suffered to depart. She went to some
of her friends and told them what had
happened. -.
"Ah," said the artist, Antonio Luigi
Sand you will trample upon it''
III must
'Then will see that you have the
right kind. BE brave, pretty one. and
we will win applause again. Wait"
That evening, when the favorite dan
seuse had acquitted herself grandly, a
huge bouquet was thrown upon the
stage. Mercy what q bouquet it was
A broad field of strange flowers, the only
colors yellow and black-the imperial
standard of Austria! There could be nc
mistaking it.
"Bestiaccia!" (great ugly BEAST, said
the actress, loud enough to be heard over
the house. And then she jumped upon
the yellow and black symbol, and tram
pied it heartily.
For a time it seemed as though the ap-
plause would shatter the building. The
police saw, and took the hint, and did not
venture to interfere further with the
bouquets of the bold and favorite dan

A PLEASANT SURPRfsR.-We call to
mind one instance of "hazing"-a cruel
amusement which is very popular in all
cOleges-which is as sweet and touching
AZ such instances are generally revolving
and disgraceful. 1t was noticed by some
sophomores that two country boys had
begun their housekeeping in room on
the ground floor of one of the college
halls, with miserable apology for bed,
no carpet, no table, and only two chairs,
as the sum total of their outfit. 1t was
learned also that they proposed to board
themselves, and had only few dollars
for their food during the term. "On this
hint they acted" On "Boody Monday
night-the time on which the severest
hazing of the freshmen is prosecuted by
the sophomores-the poor, trembling
youths were summoned by a "soph," who
was not over courteous, to go to a room
upstairs. Upstairs they went, pale and
trembling, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained there
an hour or so, not being molested, but
only being quizzed by the circle of
"sophs" in the room. Then they were
dismissed to their own room. When they
entered it, it was over nice new carpet.
There was tasteful bedstead and appur-
tenances, study table, chairs, lamp, a
bookcase, a stove, and 80 forth, and in
their closet they found provisions for
several days. This was hazing to a
blessed purpose. Let us hope that this
instance Of clemency may not stand for

John X. Martin, esq.,. of Rumford is quite
seriously i'll at the City Hotel.
Attention is called to the card of Capt Matt.
Adams, constable, elsewhere published. Capt
Adams was two years turnkey in our county
Jail and has served eight years in the capacity
of deputy sheriff stationed in this city. His
rare executive ability and familiarity with all
classes of our citizens render him peculiarly
fitted for the duties of al officer. 1t will be re-
memb9red that in 1870, only one year after his
appointment as deputy sheriff, Capt. Adams
attached the fishing hees of Mills & Apply up
on sundry writs. The steamer Victoriaa be-
longing to this fleet was run off in the night,
the keeper being overpowered and fastened be-
low, and the vessel sailed for New York, but
was obliged to put into Provincetown, Mass,
by stress of weather. Thus she was intercept
ed by Capt. Adams, who brought the vessel,
keeper and crew back to Portland and caused
the prosecution and conviction of Mills, the
owner, who had planned the scheme. He is a
courteous gentlemen, faithful and determined
officer and well merits the favorable considera'
ton of all parties who desire the. service ofs
trustworthy man.

THE MUsEUM-The Cowper combination,
assisted by the regular Museum company, pro-
duced ''Othello'' at the Museum Saturday eve-
ming. The representation had those faults
which always attend the hasty preparation and
imperfect study of Shakesperian play, but
was, these allowances made, creditahle to the
company. The leading parts were not ill-tak-
en-, and "Iago" found in Mr.. John @. Cowper
an emnently capable interpreter His stage
presence wants the picturesqueness which
we all associate with that matchless villain, but
the quality of his acting made amends for
that, and as the play progressed the audience
felt that the dark and subtle spirit of the great
est of intrlguers was made manifest in the
flesh before them. Indeed, Mr.. Cowper con-
veyed Iago disguise of himself as blunt,
honest soldier, much more completely than
though he had essayed the handsome scoundrel
whose devilish beauty reveals instead of con.
cealng his villainy, the picture that is COM
monty presented. The Characterization was
fine in its technique, Informed by careful study
and scholarly comprehension, and aided by an
admirable elocution. 1t was pleasure to lis
ten to the delivery of his lines. The chief OBJ
lection to the Characterization was that 'Iaeo"
was too apt to take the audience into his con-
fdence. 1t is scarcely necessary for him to
turn to the front aud inform the people by ex-
preston or gesture 81 am a villain" That
goes without telling. But the impersouation,
though not great one, was thoroughly good
To the "Othello'' of Mr.. Archie Cowper must
be accorded that praise which belongs to an
intelligent and sincere attempt 1t is difficult
to portray without seeming exaggeration the
feverish, tropical nature of the Moor. The
role is an uugracious one in the hands of an
accomplished artist. In other hands to escape
absolute failure is almost a triumph. MIR.
Cowper's "Othello'' did no. suffer more from
exaggeration than the part does as essayed by
actors of much loftier pretentions and though
it lacked the informing fire of genius which
alone can give the role hold upon the SYM
pathies of an audience, it was played with
correctness emitting it to praise.
Miss Clara -Cowper's "Desdemona' was
tenderly and gracefully done, though not of
striking merit, and the soft pathos of her voice
was very effective in her closing scenes. Mr..
Dillon was good "Cassio,' playing with
naturalness and spirit and a correct under
standing of the requirements of the part. The
other parts call for no particular mention.
This evening Aladdin will be produced,
and the public are promised a spectacle of
great magnifcence. Those who desire to re-
new their acquaintance with the Arabian
Nights and to see the fortunate youth as pic
tured by mocking modern travesty will attend.
On this occasion Miss Marsh will make her re-
appearance.
Miss Marsh contemplates changes which will
greatly i'm prove the attractivness and efficiency
of her company. In all her attempts to estab-
lish an excellent theatre here she will have the
sympathy of the Portland public.

ARMY & NAVY COURSE The managers of

next Thursday evening. 1t will give an oppor-

and the best quartette of lady singers that has
ever been heard in this country. The Phila.
delphia North American Gazette says of
them:
''The Swedish Ladies Quar5ette made their
first appearance before Philadelphia audience
and carried it by storm. The ladies are all ex-
ceilent vocalists, perfectly at home in their
parts, easy, natural and earnest. The Ave
Maria and Svenska Folkvisar-Swedlsh ma
tional songs-were sung iu the most effective
style, aud these vocalists from the land of
Jenny Lind and Nilsson at once won their way
to the hearts of the audience-nOt always an
easy thing to do in Philadelphia
Of course there will be great demand for
tickets, as they are only 20 cents, including a
reserved seat. They can be had at Thomes'
under Music Hall.

from attempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without making effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (somes of them apparently desper-

days past some little stir has been made in this
vicirity over an item in the Portland Argus re-
lat,ng to the postotice in this city. Rumors
were abroad that postoffice official had been
here, etc. The item, however, affirmed the be-
lief that nothing was wrong. So far as we
have been able TO learn the STORY grew out of
the sale of stamps to party residing in an
other city, complaint of which was made by
postmaster whose salary is said to have been
affected thereby A prominent merchant bad
visited this city ard purchased stamps, prefer
ring to do so rather than get them in his own
city, but this ale ceased, we unders' and, last
May. Some complaint however, was made to
the Postoffice Department and Postmaster
