THE SALE OF SEATs.-The rush to secnr-

clearly indicated the interest manifested to
welcome the return of Miss Gary to the city

nounced that the doors of Collins & Buxton's
music store would be opened at z o'clock for
the distribution of numbers. At fifteen min
utes before five o'clock the first man arrived
and he was quickly followed by others, and at
the opening of the doors there was long line
formed on the sidewalk. The numbers were
distributed in The order of their arrival, and at
nine o clock tn sale began, and in the space
of about an hour and half upwards of 600
tickets were sold. Strange to say, the best of
the gallery seats and many on the floor still
remain. The rush appeared to be for the exacl
centre of the hall. Those who have not VET
secured their seats should lose no time in
getting them.

MIR. EDIToR:-In your very full and accurate

singing of Mr. Stebbins has been passed ovel
with so little notice. Mr.. Stebbins possesses q
baritone voice of wonderful purity, and excep.

from A below to G above is remarkably even
while his information is perfect He exhibits
great feeling in his expression, and although hi
adapts his style to the requirements of the re

CITIZENS TEMPERANCE MEETINGS. The
series of temperance meetings SO successfully
conducted at Music Hall a few weeks since, are
to be resumed at Congress Hall tomorrow
evening, and continue every evening for several
weeks. The committee having the matter in
charge will present as speakers some of the
best talent in the state, also some very attrac-
tive music is being arranged for. 1t is de-
signed to make these meetings of social
character, and introduce as many speakers,
and as great variety as possible, presenting
more especially the moral features of the re-
form, with hope that by the constant intro.
duction of the pledge many may be rescued
from debasing and degrading appetite. This
evening Hon. W. W. Thomas will preside, and
speeches may be expected from ex-Gov. Per.
ham of Paris, Calvin Record of Auburn, Sam
uel Parcher of Lewiston, and Jordan Rand Of
Lisbon. An interesting meeting may be ex-
pected.

HAYDN Concentration Hall was filed
last evening with delighted audience to listen
to the Haydns rendition of German four part
songs, an admirable selection from which they
gave Illustrating the most advanced methods
in this school of music. Their peculiar beau
ties were most admirably brought out under
the skilful baton of Kotzschmar, who really
seemed to be playing upon a complicated in
strument rather than controlling a chorus of
hundred separate voices. From forcible cres-
cef,do to pidniSSiDao so subdued as hardly to
be audible the transition was almost perfect
while the shading and expression left nothing
to be desired. We believe that the works of
Hauptman. Franz, Vierling, Schumann and
others can find no better exponent than our
Haydn Association under Mr.. Kotzschmar's
direction. That the audience share our belief
was shown by the liberal applause which they
bestowed on every number on the programme,
demanding an encore of Schumanns "High-
land Lassie." The soloists of the evening
were Miss Margaret 1. Bryant, who has a fine,
fresh contralto voice and sang Hullah's
Storm" with much spirit and expression. Miss
Jessie f. Grant sang Gumbert's "Beggar
Child very finely. Haydn's sacred song, 80
Jesu Deus" was rendered by Mr.. Watts in a
style which showed a careful method and man
agement of an excellent voice. Miss Jennie S.
King gave Millard's ''Ebbing Tide in excel
lent style. The concert closed with singular
ly pathetic song of Bishops called "Sleep," the
deep feeling of which the chorus rendered in
a very effective manner. The Accomplishments
were played in excellent taste by Miss Blanch-
ard. The association Immediately begin the
| rehearsal of ''Spchr's Last Judgment which
| they will bring out this spring.

Camille.


Apparently Portland has discovered that
Miss Rose Eytinge is filling an engagement at
Fanny Marshs Theatre; for the house last
night was large.
The Camille" OF Miss Eytnge is not so fin.
ished an impersonation as her Sarah Mutton"
but it is an admirable bit of acting. It's chief
merit is perhaps this: She never forgets that
Marguerite Gautier is Frenchwomap, and
that she belongs to that Misunderstood half.
world" which is peculiar to Paris. Camille
as played by most of our actresses is altogether
English, and is either represen ted as eminently
respectable and entertaining passion which
meets but the common obstacles which true
love proverbially encounters IN its rapid course,
or as wanton coarser than any Frenchwoman,
except very degraded one, can be. Miss
Eytinge bears in mind that the Lady of the
Camellias is but an added chapter, ennobed by
genius it is true, to 'Manan L'Escaut." and
that Marguerite is inconstant. frivolous and
merceEary until she meets Armand and is
purified by the refining fire OF great passion.
Armand is prig of Pygmalion to whom the
gods have been capriciously kind, and whom
they permit to endow statue (rose-tinted like
one of Gibson's) with soul. This clear con-
cepton is the great charm of Miss Eytnge's
Camille" though in technical excellence, in
finish of detail, in strength of passion, and in
delicacy of shading it is not wanting.
This evening Miss Eytinge takes benefit.
A decent regard for so distinguished an artist
should call out crowded house. That may
possibly be wanting; but the rapid filling up of
the box sheet shows that the public of Port
land know, to use an expressive bit of slang
IA good thing when they see it, However,
there will be no quarrel with the motive in
consideration of the good result. Crosse
Michel is one of Miss Eytinge's finest parts,
and we are fortunate in having an opportunity
to see it. 1t affords opportunity for the display
OF intense passion, and its theme is the develop
ment of that maternal instinct which she is so
in portrayng. AS it is the first and
possibly the only time "Rose Michel" will be
played in this city there will be a very general

AFTERNOON SESSION.

submission by the Corresponding Secretary, the
Rev. G. G. Hayes, of certain copies of docu-
ments among the colonial series of state papers
in the English Public Record office, made by
Sir Josiah Pierce for the benefit of the Society
The documents concern the controversy be-
tween the Kings surveyor and the Massachu-
sets proprietors as to the ownership of the
lands between the Kennebec and the St. Croix,
and are: the opinion of Sir Philip York, the
Attorney General; the statement in behalf OF
the Crown by Col. Dunbar; the petition of the
proprietors; many dispositions relating to the
facts of the settlement and the proclamation
of Gov. Belcher setting forth the decision Of
the Privy Council in favor of the proprietors

settlements, and a valuable and interesting
sketch might he suggested, be made from
them by some member of the Society. On his
motion the task was confided to Judge Will
hanson of Belfast.
The first paper of TIE afternoon was read by
Mr.. @. j. Varney on Commodore Samuel
Tucker, mertorious naval officer of the Revo
luton, whose memory has strangely passed out
of the minds of men. Tucker is said to have
captured more vessels than any other American
commander In 1875 he was in England, and
was offered British commission by "his gra.
cous majesty Contemptuously refusing the
offer with bluff "d-n his gracious majesty!
he set sail for America, and on his arrival fit
ted out a schooner, the flag of which was fash
toned by the hands of his wife. On the frs
day out he captured two transports, having OF
! board battalion of Highlanders. The hex
year he was appointed to the command OF thu
| armed schooner Hancock, and was so success
| full that in 1777 he was made commodore and
| given command of the frigate Boston. In III
| he carried John Adams to France, making
| several captures of British vessels on the way
] After the!close of the war he settled in Boston
but in 1892 purchased farm in Bristol, nov
Bremen, Maine, and lived there to the day o
his death, which occurred in 1888, at the age o
IS. His life was qniet, and he made littl
more appearance in public life, though he wa
