III Trovat0re.


An exceptionally fine audience filled the
Portland Theatre last night to hear Phillips
and Bfignoli in ii Trovatore. They are both
long time favorites, but Brignoli especially
seems musical legacy from the last genera
ton. He does not like poor old Mario who was
paraded about the country five years ago, ex.
cite painful feelings of commseration by futile
attempts to do the things which were easy to
him years ago. On the contrary his voice
seems nearly as fresh and sweet as when in the
flush of youth he was the pet and delight OF all
lovers of music. He has now grown quite
stout and his ample waist and voluminous
double chin hardly fit the impsssioned lover
and daring warrior; he was never an actor SO
there is not much loss in that respect; and he
sings his love, rage and despair with the oid
sweetness and we are ready to forget every
thing else under the spell Of his exquisite
melody. He is not so prodigal of the wonder
ful tours de force which used in the old time
to electrfy his hearers, but in other points 10
holds his own remarkably.
Miss Phillips as Azucena is superb. The
power, depth aud intensity of her acting merit
the most unbounded plaudits. She puts her
self wholly into the part and her movements,
pastures, facial expression and voice are simply
perfect in their mutual adaptation. 1t is prob
able that her rendition of Azucena cannot be
equalled by any living artistic in its complete
ness, though it is possible that some others
might sing better.
Mr. Stoddard mads good impression as the
Count in spite of the lackadaisical way in which
he began his song II Balen del S,to. His voice
is rich and pleasing baritone and his acting
in general was respectable.
Miss Stone was an cceptable Leonora, and
in several instances rose to excellence and
excited enthusiasm.
Mr.. Macdonald, who represented Fernando,
was stick as an actor but sang fairly the
little he had to do
Miss Phillips, Miss Stone Brignoli and Mr..
Stoddard were each called out several times,
and all bowed their acknowledgements for q
hearty call after the fall of the green curtain
The chorus was well enough as cboruses go,
but was evidently very little trained in the
| opera. They committed many absurdities and
made a notably comic effect by dawdling off in
| an imbecile way at one side of the stage when
| they should have been boldly folio wing Manri-
| co to the attack on the other side.
On the whole the entertainment was very
| agreeable to the audience, and Mr.. Curtis is
entitled to the thanks of the public for afford
| ing Us SO fine an evening of opera.

There the prisoner was searched as usual and
put 10 cell. When Day Turnkey Ffeema T.
Merrill went into the cell yesterday morning
he recognized the youth as Harriet Griffin,
young colored girl belonging in Brunswick,

of Brunswick to be dealt with by them.

Theatre in the now well known and popular
dramatization of Brete Harte's "M'liss," a
stirring sensational play that admits of many
effective tableaux aud fine mechanical effects,

presents it is highly spoken OF, and the lead
ing part, that of the hoydenish little pit of the
mining camp, is taken by Miss Annie Pixby, a
dashing soubrette from California, a good &C.
tress, a brilliant singer, and possessing the ad-
vantages of fine person. Her manner is said
to be the manner of Lotta bnt she is credited
with having even greater histrionic ability.
Seats for "M'liss'' are now for sale.

1t is as certain as fate that the bloody

session, and that every Radical speaker will
hold up to the North the dangers OF Il solid
South, and swear that the negroes in South
Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana were
buldoZed and cheated at The late elections.
Ben. Butler, however, will make the speech
OF his life on buIldoZing in elections, and in
reply unfold to the world how in Massachu-
sets white men were kept from the ballot
box or forced to vote as their taskmasters
dictated. No event OF the session is more
anXiously anticipated than this effort OF the
