1t is not often that an entertainment posses
sing as many attractive features as Helen
Potter's Pleiades is presented to our citizens
and for that reason we urge upon them to be
sure and witness it. The combination will APP
pear at City Hall next Monday evening Miss
Helen Potter delighted everybody when she
appeared here several years ago in connection,
we believe, with the Mercantile Library course.
Her characterizations are models in their way,
and her impersonation of Cough admirable.
Regamey is a remarkable lightning carica-
turist, giving perfect portraiture of well
known public characters with a few strokes of
the crayon on the canvass. Anna Berger is
not only beautiful woman but one of the
best cornet soloists in the country. The
Swedish Ladies' Quartette are admirable
vocalists, and will be assisted by Mr.. Schmeiser,
the leading member of the Swedish male
quartette Mr. Stockbridge has the tickets.
AFR ENTERTAINMENT.
Next Wednesday evening delightful art
entertainment will be given at City Hall.
There will be life representations of Rogers
groupes in marble, and the Flowers of Lowell
ness or eight pictures em5lematic of flowers.
Shaws quartette will provide the music.
NOTES.
The Tourists in the pullman Palace Carr
are highly spoken of by the New York critics.
A new play of w. S. Gilbert's is to be
brought out at the New York Standard next
week.
Flank Curtis will go to Boston to-day in
order to arrange, if possible, with attractions
for dates.
The Boston Museum Company in ''Diplo-

An exhibition consisting of original decla-

University chapel on Wednesday evening. A
fair audience of townspeople was IN atten-
dance and close attention was paid to the exer-

were especially fine, and the entertainment as
a whole did great credit to the class of 81.
Music was furnished by the Weber Quartette,
under the leadership of Mr. Philbrook. APP

Unfair Treatment.

The Cherokee Indians occupy by treaty
which is now in full force portion of the
Indian Territory about the size of Vermont
The Neosho or Grand river, stream nearly
the size of the Connecticut, traverses the
whole length of the land, nearly north and
south. The bottom lands of this valley are
of great fertility; timbered with magnif-
cent growth OF valuable forest trees. Set
ting aside this hill country as of no value
except for the growth of timber, the re-
mainder is diversified, well-watered region,
rich in agricultural and mineral resources.
This is the land which the United States,
with solemn treaties, ceeded to the Cherokee
nation, TO be for home to them forever, or
until they OF their own accord should elect
otherwise, and to which they came, in 1888,
from Georgia, after war of nearly twenty
years. The treaty stipulations with the Cher.
okees in Georgia, as Giddings explains in his
| Indian history, guaranteed to these people
undisturbed and perpetual occupancy But
| the Indians, nevertheless, were cheated
robbed, worried, and finally exiled, as il
were, across the Mississippi. If eve PEG
pie were scattered and peeled" it is the
Cherokees, the most civilized and enlight
ened, probably, of the tribes, having Ian
guage written, spoken and printed among
themselves--the invention of New Eng
land Worcester-whose life was de
voted to the interests of the red man. Il
this is fair treatment, we certainly canno
see IL.

FultOn's First Steamer.

Messrs. Editors We had the following anec-
iote from the late Captain Henry Randall, at
that time commanding a steamer ON the Pacific
Ocean running from Panama to San Francisco.
He was at the time OF the occurrence a cabin boy
on a sloop plying between Albany and New York.
FultOns first steamer had then been running
very successfully for some time, very much to the
dsmay OF the honest yeomanry living ON the shores
of the Hudson. When the saw-mill ON wheels Ms
they called it, came near where they were work
ing on the bank, they would run behind a tree,
stump or knoll, out Of the way OF all harm, until
the monster had passed out of reach. 1t was a
long time before those living on the river could
feel that they were free from all danger from the
passing steamer Among other amusing instances
of fear and caution. he related that there ware nm

Oueen yjctoria,s birthday.

Queen victoria's birthday occurred on
Saturday, and the occasion was duly cele-
brated at Montreal by our neighbors over
the border, assisted by the Brooklyn IN. "
regiment of which Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
is chaplain.
The city was gaily decorated with flags,
and the shipping displayed bunting. The
number of strangers in the city was esti-
mated at fifteen thousand. -Four thousand
troops paraded back of the Hotel Dieu, on
the east slope of the mountain. Among
the mounted officers of the thirteenth regi-
ment Of Brooklyn, as it marched to the field
with drawn swords and in full uniform,
was Chaplain Henry Ward Beecher. The
regiment received perfect ovation from
immense crowds on the line Of march, and
on arriving upon the review grounds the
post Of honor was given it. AT noon the
Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise
appeared at the south entrance. They were
in citizens riding habit, mounted on bay
horses, escorted by body guard, and fol
lowed by landau containing the royal
suite. They were greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, and taking position in front of the
pavilion received the salute OF the line I;
then riding from right TO left of the line,
they inspected the troops and halted in front
of the Brooklyn regiment. As soon as Dods-
worth's Band ceased playing "God Save
the Queen" the Marquis of Lorne made
speech, welcoming the American troops in
the name of the Queen. The speech was
enthusiastically cheered by the crowd out
side. The Marquis then returned to his
post, and the troops passed in review.
As the Brooklyn regiment came opposite
the Governor-General and Princess their
band played God Save the Queen" and
the crowd on the stand jumped to their feet
and sent up rousing cheers. The marching
of the regiment received unqualified praises
A handsome flag was presented them upon
their arrival at Montreal. The celebration
closed with sham battle. In the evening
banquet was rendered to the officers of the
Brooklyn regiment, at which speeches were
made by the Marquis of Lorne and Chaplain
Beecher. The celebration throughout was
a grand success, and productive of much
good feeling between the people of the two

AN EYE-OpENER.-Some of the New
Hampshire papers have published a table
showing many points of interest concerning
the new law of the state, which requires
property holders to make oath to their pos
sessions. The table shows that Sl0,0O0,000
at interest has been discovered under the
law, and will now have to bear its share Of
the burdens Of taxation. In Cheshire coun-
by almost a million and half has been I'M
earthed, and in many of the towns the rate
has been reduced three dollars on thou
sand. About the time the inventory was
taken not few cursed the law in fact
their curses were so loud it seemed to the
unthinking in other states that a more un-
popular measure never found place upon
the statute books. 1t is now plain as day
TO all that those rawlings were the voices of
the parties who had been avoiding taxes all
along by their receptions, but were hardly
up to committing perjury to conceal their
property. Those who liked the law had no
occasion TO be demonstrative, so the idea
went forth that the measure was too unpop
ular TO be long-lived. Does any one believe
it will die an infant, when they consider
what it has accomplished 7 Ten millions
added to the taxable property-are the PEG
pie going to allow that to retire again into
its hole 7 We believe, on the contrary
that other states will take the cue from
New Hampshire and make her legislation
their own in this matter, as in the matter
of adopting her tramp law

The New Postal Law.

The following are the changes in the
postal law, which went into effect on the LIST
of May The postage on all second class
matter is two cents per pound. Periodicals
bound in board, cloth, leather or other sub
stantial binding, such as distinguished
printed books for preservation from period
ical publications, cannot pass in the mail at
pound rates. The limit of weight TO four
pounds is waived in the case of a single book
weighing more than that limit. Circulars
can be addressed, dated, signed and typo
graphical errors corrected in writing, and
the postage will be one cent for each two
ounces, instead of one cent for one ounce as
heretofore. Proof sheets aud corrected proof
sheets, and manuscript copy accompanying
the same, may be sent in this mail at the
rate of one cent for each two ounces. This
provision does not admit manuscript unac-
companied by the proof sheet. There may
be placed upon the cover or blank leaves of
any book, or any printed matter of the third
class, simple manuscript dedication or in
scription that does not partake of the nature
of a personal correspondence. Upon any
package of matter of the fourth class the
sender may write or print his own name and
address, preceded by the word FROM" and
there may also be written or printed the
number and names of the articles enclosed
and the sender thereof may write or print
upon or attach to any such articles by tag
or label a mark, number, name or letter, for
purpose of Identification.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the many new
devices to heal the terrible hurt of intern
perance is the Habitual Drunkard's bill,
which has passed the British House of Com
mons, and, at the latest mail advices, had
been given second reading in the House of
Lords. 1t is a curious piece of legislation.
Its object is to allow the establishment of
"retreats in which habitual drunkards
may be shut up and subjected to special
treatment. 1t is left to their choice to enter
the retreat or not, as they please but once
in, they cannot be released until the condi-
tions under which they enter are fulfilled.
The candidate for admission must signify
in writing, before justice of the peace, his
desire to be admitted and the length of time
during which he is willing to continue an
inmate. He must then stay out the time
for which he has bound himself, and sub
nit to the regulations of the institution
however distasteful they may be. If he at
tempts to escape, he may be recaptured and
brought back by force. If he breaks the
rules Of the place, he may be summarily con-
victed, fined and imprisoned. The nten-
ton of the bill is to afford habitual drunk.
ards chance to break up their habit,
through forced abstention from intoxicat.
ing liquor for certain period. As first
framed, the bill put it in the power of the
friends or relatives of drunkard to have
