DIPLOMACY.

DIPLOMACY.
There was a good audience in attendance at
Portland Theatre last night but the house
should have been crowded. The Boston Mu-
scum Company, which appeared in the cast of
Diplomacy, are entitled to great praise. They
presented the piece with a smoothness and
finish for which they are noted, but which
does not always come up to expectation Last
night, however, should be marked with
white stone. 1t was an evening Of unalloyed
enjoyment, and we trust the matinee today,
and the performance tonight, will draw the
audience they 50 richly merit.
Mr.. Charles Barron's Henry Beauclerc was
in his best vein. He was the cool man of the
world, interested in his brother, and planning
so skilfully to establish Dora's innocence. The
only fault we had to find with him last night
was the New York fashion of rafting off con-
versation in monotone. Ii we ara not mista-
ken we suppose the idea is to give greater force
to the stronger situations Of the play. Mr.
Howarth astonished Us by his Interpretation of
Julian He evinced q strength we had no
idea he possessed, and If at times, he was
little bcsterous. his general characterization
was so good that it was pardonable. Mr.. Hud-
son was an admirable Baron Stein; represen-
tation of the German diplomat that it would
be difficult to excel. Mr.. Mason was very
good Count Orloff, and the scene between the
two Beauclercs and Count Orloff at the close
of the second act was one OF the best ever wit
messed on the boards in this city, and the audi
enca called up the curtain. Mr. Schiller was
droll Algy Fairfax
OF the ladies, Miss Annie Clarke's Countess
Zicka is a remarkable impersoaltion She
depicts in the strongest colors what the adven-
turess, whose love is turnel to hate, can ac-
compish. Miss Martinot made pretty Dora;
and played the part with much feeling and
passion The other members of the company
were acceptable
Mr.. Curtis placed the play on the boards
very prettily.

Rev. Collamore burlington of Fairfield, who
has been pastor of the Unversalist church at
that place for the past four years, has re-
nounced Universalism, He gives five reasons
or so doing, and as matter of news we publish
them. In substance they are as fellows:
l. That he sees no good effects from preach
ing Universalisn.
= That there are widely extended preJu-
dces against it and its ministers.
B. lie has found but limited spiritual CO.
operation il it.
l. lie thinks it wise to recede from the dis
cusson of topics which conduce to spiritual
alienation, disfellowship, and disntegration.

victions as to his future course.

The Argus the other day spoke of a splen-
did cat belonging to Owen & Barbour, the
we'll known fruiterer4 on Exchange street. 1t
appears that some one employed by the firm
of Elias Thomas & Co., on Commercial street,
saw the cat and thought it was the one belong
ing to the firm; cat which is kept up in the
garnet of the store in the Thomas Block.
When he saw the cat it was in front of the
store. The next day the man heard of the
lost cat and when he went up to the garnet he
found two cats instead of one. He carried the
stranger to Owen & Barbour who gladly well
oomed their lost pet, and now the twin cat
of Owen & Barbour no longer mourns for its
lost playmate.

FRIDAY-ln the case of Witham against the City

An Absent Minded Minister

1t used to be said of Rev. DR.. Peabody he
was SO absent minded ne could go to a party,
get interested in conversation, tie his legs up
in q silk handkerchief, and when he started to
leave his seat he would fall forward on his
face, having forgotten TO unite the handker-
chief.
1t is reported that minister in Portland is
so absent minded that the other evening he
turned down the gas in tie pulpit lamp and
then, not satisfied, blew out the gas, and the
sexton had to go to the pulpit and turn off the
escaping gas.

Portland and Rochester Railroad.

The Concord correspondent of the Boston
Journal says:
The statement made by your correspondent
relative to the sale of a controlling interest ill
the Portland and Rochester railroad came per-
sonally from a well-known Massachusetts rail-
way official whose veracity, we believe, would
not be questioned under any circumstances.
Superintendent Furber, in his reply, says that
he did not buy it, but he did not state whether
the Boston & Maine railroad as a corporation
was directly or indirectly party to the pur-
chase. AS to tie probable effect of the new
control of the Portland and Rochester Railroad
upon the Nashua and Rochester line we are
content to let future developments prove who
is in the right.
