MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.


AhI
The art entertainment given at City Hall
last evening by the First Baptist Society was
appropriately named. The Rogers groups
were especially fine, although the Flowers of
LONELINESS were very pretty. We speak more
particularly Of the groups because it requires
careful study and the greatest skill to
initiate well-known and famous works Of sculp-
ture so faithfully that the general public will
at once recognize their CONNECTION. To Mr..
Schumacher this happy result is in great
measure due as well as the ladies and gentle
men who officiated as the figures. The vari-
Gus tableauX, representing the Flowers of Love
illness, We're artistically costumed and mount
ed, and the ladies who took part were well
fitted for the positions from their perfection of
feature and grace of person. Every one OF
the selections was encored. Shaw's quartette
interspersed the entertainment with good n}u-
sic and to two of their numbers they were re-
called. The Portland Theatre orchestra fur
nished the orchestral music, which was appro-
pirate to the various tableauX. There was
large audience present.

LARGE Sale of Bonds.

Weunderstand that short time ago large
sale OF City of Portland bonds in aid of the
Ogdensburg railroad was made through one of
our banking firms to the city. The purchase
embraced S150,000 worth of bonds at ia 81,
the highest price yet paid. But as these bonds
have twenty-eight years to run the interest at
six per cent. is equivalent, at the price paid, to
five per cent, which is one per cent. more
than governments. The bonds will go into the
sinking fund. This sale has never before been
made public

In comparing The accounts for 1879 with
those of 1878 we Fl I'd the receipts for 1879 are
$13,94S.05 against $13, 1898 for 1878, or $40SH
more this year. The expenses for 1879 were
$12,110,S4 against $16, O13S6 for 1878, or a saw
ing the past year of $3,903.02. In 1878 the
Clerk of the Courts received $1,1547S against
$419.50 in 1879, or 1882 less the past year.
The fees for grand jurors and traverse jurors
amounted to IS, 714.32 in 1878 against $3,S24.-
81 in 1879, saving of 81 ,S99.4S For officers
bills in court, transportation of prisoners
and meals of jurors in 1878 the costs were ST.
70S. "a against 81 ,50044 in 1879, or saving of
S207 80 in 1879. Officers bills allowed in bill
of costs in 1873 were S3,476.74 against So ,460S1
in 1879, saving Of S1,0l5.93 this year. The
witness fees for 1878 were $3,318.1S against
SO, IA in 1879 a saving this year of Sl97.04
Interchangeable bills for 1878 were $641,5o
against S529.11 in 1879, saving Of S11239 this
year. There is $3.50 charged for counsel this
year and S105 for conssables bills not found in
the charges for 1873.
These reductions are mostly due to Judge
Bonney, who has prevented the unnecessary
waste of time and money in jury fees, while
the County Attorney has exercised the same
care in regard to witness fees.

White Mountain Views

Last summer the PRESS had occasion to
mention, with high commentator, the White
Mountain Views published by Chisholm
Brothers of this city. We then expressed the
belief that the three series of sketches of
mountain scenery would if combined, make
an attractive and generally desirable work.
The publishers have acted on this suggestion,
and are about to issue, in season for the holt
days, volume of folio size, containing all the
heliotype illustrations and the entire letter
press of the three books which have met with
SO great and merited success this season.
OF the old edition more than nine thousand
copies have been sold, chiefly to tourists on
the road to the Mountains. The new edition
is designed especially for the library and par
lor. The illustrations are reproductions by the
heliotype process of photographs made on the
spot, are full folio page and twenty-one in num-
Der. The descriptive text is by Mr. nj. F. Sweet
sir, well and favorably known by the series of
artst-biographies edited by him and issued by
the leading publishing-house of New England.
The volume is elegantly gotten up, substan-
TALLY bound, and printed in large, clear text,
on heavy, calendared paper. Of the merit of
the heliotype illustrations we have already
spoken at length and need not repeat our
praises now. They are admirable views of the
principal objects of interest in the mountains,
possessing the fidelity of photograph and the
permanence of an engraving. The views of
the Presidential Range from the Glen, of the
enchanting length of Crawford Notch, of the
Old Man of the Mountain and the lake upon
which he looks down, are especially noticeable,
not only on account of the intrinsic interest of
the objects pictured but as we'll because of the
delicacy and strength of the pictures them
selves. The heliotype process has never been
more favorably exhibited. Mr.. Sweetsir's
descriptive text is vigorous, animated and &C
curate. 1t gives an excellent description of
the mountains and furnishes us with COM
plete resume of their history and legend.
The new edition of the White Mountain
Views deserves large and quick sale. The
low price at which it is offered four dollars,
brings it within the reach of many of our citi-
zens. They will soon have an opportunity to
look at the book The publishers have wisely
engaged as canvasser, Mr.. H. W. Ripley, a
gentleman thoroughly familiar with the
Mountain region, and well-qualifed to set
forth the merits of this charming presentation
of it,

that last year the spectator had to pay Is cents

1t seems that Arndt had worked only short
time for Clement q Sayers,-this being his sec
ond Teel. The coats referred to were OF linen,
and man can press half-a-dozen an hour.
Last week, BY working ten hours day, he made
$3.50. 1t was his habit to ride from 1918 Stats
street to 416 Milwaukee avenue In the morning
at a cost Of 10 cents, and to walk home 1t night,
"a distance ofnearly five miles. Had he ridden
both ways, the $3.50 would have been reduced
to $780,. He Was temperate man, but hard
nork had reduced him to almost skin and
bones. Having been dismissed, and there
being few chances for employment nowadays,
he made up bis mind TO 60 where bread and
butter are not needed. That be WAS determined
to end his life is evidenced by two wounds,
one in the body below the heart. and another
in the head. He must have fired first at his
heart. Missing 1t and not dying, be deliberately
