The Wheelock-Curtis Engagement.
Last evening the friends of Mr.. Wheelock
gathered at Music Hall, despite the storm, to
enjoy his personsation of the character of
Claude Menotte in the ine play of "The Lady
of Lyons" Mr.. Wheelock has played this
part many times iu Portland, but he was pro.
badly never more happy in the conception of
the character of Claude than last evening. He
had the audience with him from the first and
every action was closely watched. Teey not
only insisted on breaking out with applause all
through, but at the end of each he was called
before the curtain. He must be very unreas-
enable gentleman if he is not fally convinced
that he has hosts of friends and admirers in
Portland.
The most remarkable feature in the whole
performance, however, was the acting of Miss
Lillion Ashley, who assumed the exacting role
of Pauline. Probably all present have seen
greater actresses in this part, but probably no
one ever saw it played better, or even SO we'll,
by young lady who assumed it for the first
time after but two days study and one rehear-
sal. In the most trying scenes of the piece
she rose to the full light of the situation and
portrayed her grief 10 most natural manner
and with telling effect. She was honored with
several calls before the curtain and can but
feel proud of her success in SO difficult part.
Mr. Curtis was good as CLAWS and was re-
ceived with tue usual deafening applause which
always greets his appearance before Portland
audience. The others did well and the cast
below shows the distribution of the parts:

Wind Anu Sea.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR

The sea is a jovial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes; as.y,r.
His meriment shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale repose; sa s8i gs,##
He lays himself down at the feet of the sun,
And shakes all over with glee;
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on the
Shore, se-sss
In the mirth of the mighty sea. II
But the wind is sad and restless,
And cursed with an inward pain; .i
You may bark as you will, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.,
He walls on the barren mountains
And shrieks on the watery sea;
He sobs in the cedar, and means in the pine,
And shudders all over the aspen-tree.
Welcome are both their voices;
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from oceans lips,
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's pang in allrejolcing,
A JOY in the heart 0, pain;
And the wind that saddens, the sea that glad
dens,
Are singing the self.same strain.

This is one of the earliest plants men
toned in agricultural history, and is
supposed to have been introduced into
Greece five hundred years before the
Christian era; thence its cultivation ex-
tended into France, where it has ever
since been considered valuable forage
plant; but in Great Britain it is not
esteemed very highly, perhaps because it
comes In competition with many Of the
best and most nutritive grasses. In the
south Of England and ON some of the
Channel Islands lucerne is cultivated to
a limited extent, but it is a plant better
adapted to hot climates than to cool
ones, and has, therefore, never become
popular among the farmers Of the latter.
The early Spanish settlers of South
America introduced lucerne as a forage
plant likely to be of great value in that
country, and their expectations were
fully realized, for it soon became natur-
allied, and its cultivation extended to
all parts of the country. When the
early settlers of California were in search
of some better forage plant than the
native grasses, they fortunately pro
cured seed of what is called Chill clover,
or alfalfa, the latter being she South
American Spanish name. But it was
soon discovered that the clover from
Chill was nothing more than the very
ancient and well known lucerne of
Europe. Lucerne, as we have said, is
especially adapted to warm climates, and
succeeds best on very deep, rich soil, fail
ing alike on heavy clays, or thin, light
sand. It's roots penetrate the earth
deeply, and consequently it withstands
long and severe drouths better than
plants which do not have long roots.
For the Southern States there are few
perennial plants which give greater
promise of value than lucerne; but con-
siderable care should be exercised in the
selection of the proper soil. The fodder
is of an excellent quality, and the yield
very abundant But we have little
faith in the adaptation of this plant to
our Northern States, although it sue
ceeds in very warm and deep soils in the
Middle States. IN. Y. Sun.
