Tive ana pleasing performances OF tie
evening. ''Aint l Sweet" by little
Miss Mary Stanley, was so we'll done
and the little lady looked so sweet in
deed, that the question was unani-
mously agreed in the affirmative. 1t
wont be long before a the boys will
be ''swect" on Miss Mary if she asks
any more such questions iu so at
trsctive a way. She was we'll deser-
wing of the encore she received. The
Duet, piano and violin, by Mrs.
Marye and Mr.. Schmalinski showed
that both performers were thorough
y CONVEX SAINT with the intricacies of
their instruments and fully capable
of bringing out their beauties.
There was then an intermission of
twenty minutes for refreshments.
SECOND PART.
Our space forbids more than a
mere mention Of the second part of
the entertainment. The opening
chorus after the intermission,--
"Upidee" was we'll rendered" "The
Valley of Cbamouri" by Mrs. Smith,
was frequently applauded and was a
sweet piece of music, we'll sung
Tie piano solo "Danse Andalouse,"
Ivy Miss Fass, was the first appear
ance of that lady during the evening.
Her thorough execution of the piece
deserves more than the passing no.
tice which is all we can give to her
performance. II am always gay and
free, boys was what Miss Duritt,
sang in the second part, and she was
again encored. Mrs. Marye gave us
a solo from Lucie De Hammer
moor as the next piece, and best con-
'firmed the impression she had al
ready made as an accomplished mu
stefan. Mr.. Erickson next sang,
you've been a friend to me-" in a
creditable manner.
Miss DeGeneres then showed us
how highly cultivated is her voice,
by the way she overcame all the diff
ficulties in the Solo Valsca, Romeo
and Juliet, which would have been
impossible to any voice less prac
ticed and of less compass than hers.
The Comic Song -" Grandfather
Ben" by Mr.. I. l.. Sackman was a
humorous performance, which was
highly pleasing to the audience, and
added fresh laurels to those which
he has already earned in that line.
As an encore he sang "Bitter Beer"
The exercises of the evening were
closed with chorus, "Good Night"
which was both appropriate and well
sung.
1t has been some time since we en-.
joyed such a musical treat as we had
last evening, and we are sure that
the audience agreed with US in pro-
nouncing the Concert a grand sue
cess, we hope that it was as much so
financially as it was from musical
stand point. We hope to again have
an opportunity to hear the Amateurs
with change of programme and as
often as charity needs their services.

'TlS ONLY In MY DREAMS!

A form is ever at my side,
Mid sorrow, pain and tears:
And constant still, whatever betide,
Through long and weary years:
And oft; when evenings fairest star
In radiant beauty CLEANS,
l clasp her hand in mine-but all!
Ills only in my dreams!
When grief and care upon my heart
Like darkening shadows fall;
When those from whom fate bids me
part
Have gone beyond recall;
when friends are few, and hearts grow
cold
And earth desert seems,
That form is with me as of old.
But only in my dreams!
Though youth has fed, and day,
The hopes of manhood's prime,
Like faded leaves, are borne away
Upon the tide of time;
And though my years grow dark anG
chill
In life's declining beams,
That presence will be with me still.
But only in my dreams!

THE INSURRECrION IN

A DeplOrable State Of Affairs,
THE SPANIARDS DESIRE PEACE
ON ANY TERMS.

HAVANA via Key West, june 10. Whilst there
appears no indications of unity of purpose among
the so-caled Spanish party, there are iadics tions
that they would gladly make peace with the In
surgents apon almost any terms, if it were not for
spanish PRIDE, as negotiations must surely result
to the disadvantage Of the Spaniards. The lnsurg.
ents are not averse to negotiating for peace pro-
ylding autonomy with sufficient foreign guarantee

INDIANS.
Particulars of the Outbreak at Idaho
and Oregon.
TROOPS HAVE BEEN ORDERED FROM A
NUMBER OF POSTS.

SAN Francisco, June 10. The following par
ticulars have been received of the Indian out
break in Idaho and Oregon. News was received
at Lewiston, Idaho, ON Friday, that . party Of
Salmon River Indians and Joscph's Band had as
sembled on the Csnas prairie. and that four
whites had been killed on Salmon River near the
mouth OF White Bird River, and taken possessi IN
of the whole prairie with the exception of the
town of Mount Idaho which they threatened.
On Friday evening q force of one hundred
troops with two friendly Indians and several citi
zens, left the Lapwsr garrison under command of
Colonel Perry. for Mount Idaho. Soon after
wards news was received that twelve more per-
sons had been killed. A dispatch came through
to Lewiston to the effect that Colonel Perry reach
ed Mount Idaho Saturday morning, and found the
reports of the slaughtering Of the whites true,
twenty nine having been killed.
The troops with one hundred and fifty citizens
from Mount Idaho, encountered the Indians at
the head of White Bird canon. The Indians
opened FIRE upon the troops and fighting WAS cou-
tinued some time, but the Indians getting the best
of the fight, the soldiers broke and run. The
captain Of the party of citizens and Sergeant
Lyihe and one private are known to have been
killed. Troops have been ordered from . number
Of posts 10 the department, and will soon be on

winthrop Locals.

A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal
writes The Our Boys of Winthrop. were de
fealed Saturday afternoon by the Monmouth
Boys to 0, this being the second game won by
the Monmouth Boys" in series of three games
with the "Our Boys"
Our Winthrop correspondent writes Those in
terested in base ball in Winthrop we've surprised
at seeing the above in the Lewiston Journal of
June Is. The base ball players we're not aware
that they played game at all at Monmouth, on
Saturday. We suppose, however, the correspond
ent referred to the fact that there was an arrange
ment to have game between the Monmouth boy g
and Winthrop club, on that day. Previous, how
ever to that day, there was an undersa nding that
there should be a postponemcnt for one week.
But if they claim the game technically on &C
count of challenge, let the Monmouth nine and
the public understand that there is no organized
base ball club at Winthrop, consequently there
was no club to challenge.
Secondly, suppose there had been an organ .zed
club, base ball rules require that an umpire should
be chosen by the Captain of both clubs; that he
should be on the ground at the appointed time
and call time, and then il the Monmouth club had
been present. the Winthrop club would have bee n
defsulters and lost the game but no umpire was
chosen as the rules provide. There was an agree
ment of postponement, there was no organized
club at Winthrop. and probably none at Mon
mouth consequently there was no game, or de-
fault of any members. 1t is q well Known fact
that in legislative bodies where there is no hope
of success on the part of the weaker party, they
resort to dllatory motions and hlbustering. That
in law, when lawyer has q poor case, he resorts
TO demurrers and technicaities. So IN this case
the pretended victory of the Monmouth boys on
account of technically, is indication of their
inferorty, as compared with the members of the
Winthrop club.
Certainly. if the playing of the Monmauth club
10 no better than their knowledge Of the rules OF
base ball games. it is apparent that they do not
dare to meet the Winthrop boys on the merits of
the case.

The annual examination of the high school tool
Yours in kindness and sympathy,

The annual examination of the high school took
place yesterday. the exercises occupying the en-
tire day. The school room had been lastly trim
med by the scholars; the columns twined with
evergreen; bunting depending from the ceiling
and looped up gracefully; the notices of the sew.
eral classes standing out in green lettering upon
the walls; bouquets Of flowers arranged here and
there; drawings and original designs by the schol-
ars, displayed around the room; and the black
boards covered with drawings illustrating the
various studies reviewed in the examination. The
classes passed through critical and searching
examination conducted by the Principal, Mr..
Files, and his assistants, and various questions pro-
posed by the Directors we're answered promptly.
There were also declarations and original COM
positions. Those who have examined the record
