MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.


Another very large audience greeted the
Childrens Pinafore Company at Portland
Theatre last night, and the various features
were greeted with great applause. The review
before Sir Joseph, that is introduced in the
first act, displays excellent drill of this large
company and is an admirable feature. Hebe
and Josephine are quite remarkable; the for
mer for her society mannersms and great
ability as q light comedian, and the latter for
her astonishing training exhibited as musical
artistic.
The entertainment is really one Of the most
attractive we have ever had in Portland, and
at the matinee today the older children, who
can appreciate such performance, should be
allowed to be present
The evening performance will be the last.
THE DoDWELL CONCERT.
There will be a crowded audience at City
Hall tonight. The rehearsals are progressing
favorably, and much is expected of one or two
of the performers. Miss Shaw will play the
harp. Miss Dodwell is one of the most con-
scientious of our singers, as well as an artistic of
great purity Of voice, and has made a great
number of friends while resident here. Miss
Cary will be heartily welcomed of course, as
well as Mr.. Beckett, who has not appeared
here in concert since his visit to Europe. All
the other performers are favorites here.

the hour for commencing the meetings COM

ing by the Greenbackers by Messrs Chase and
Eaton asking if Mr.. Bradstreet would be will
ing to discuss the issues of the day with Mr..
Strawn. The Republicans answered they ex-

would ask him if he was willing. In a few
moments Mr.. Bradstreet arrived and said he

Gen. Hawley at Kennebunk.

hENNEBUNh, DtPt' 2
Last evening Mousam Hall was crowded flor
the first time during the campaign by an
appreciative and enthusiastic audience, who
had gathered to hear Gen. Jos. r. Hawleys ex-
position of the principles of the honest money
party. Mr.. Hawley's remarks were not char
acterized by the slurs and vile innuendoes which
fed and candid manner, he showed that the
principles for which the Greenback party con-
tend are utterly false and based on illogical
premises.
There can be no doubt but that this town
will give good majority for the Corporal
and the Greenbackers seem to realize the fact,
and are correspondingly disheartened. Indeed,
one of them was heard to remark that the
Greenback party, IN taco gears, would be as
dead as the old KNOWN othing" party.

Found Dead,

Coroner Gould was called at II o'clock last
night to view the body of Mrs. Patrick Hagans,
who was found dead in her bed in Dolan's
block Her son stated that he visited her AZ
half-past six and she was as well then as she
had been for some time. At half-past ten he
called again and found her dead Corone
Gould thinks, however, that she had been
dead longer than this statement would indi-
cate. She had been out of health a long time,
and her death undoubtedly resulted from nat
ural causes. He age was about so years. An
inquest was deemed unnecessary.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Some may reckon their age by years,
Some reckon their life by art
But some tell their days by tho flow Of their
tears,
And their life by the means Of their heart.
The dals of earth may show
The length not depth of years;
Few or many they come-few or many they go
But our time is best measured by tears.
All not by tho silvery gray
That creeps thro the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our
way
And not by the burrows, the fingers of care,
On the forehead and face have made;
Not so do we count our years.
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
OF our souls and the fall Of our tears.
For the young arc oft-times old,
Tho their brow be bright anu fair;
While their blood beats warm their heart lies
Ger them the spring g-time-but winter is there.
And .he old are oft-times young.
When their hair ia thin and white:
And they sing in age Us in youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was light.
But bead by bead toll
The rosary of my years;
From q cross to a cross they lcad-'tis we'll,
And they're blessed with blessing of tears.
Better day Of strife
Than century Of sleep:
Give me instead of q long stream of life,
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the billows of all the years
But mover foauI brings the bark back home;
1t reaches the heaven through tears.

DRUNKENNESS 80 PALLI ALTON 1t is
more than thirteen centuries ago when Bell
sarius on his way to Africa, gibbcted two of
his soldiers for an act Of violence. And when
this summary punishment aroused some
mutiny among the comrades of the exccu-
ted men, the General explained that the
crime alone might not have been visited by
this terrible retribution if it had not been
aggravated by the fact that the porpetra-
tors were drunk. This is pretty sound law
to-day. Surely man will not be held less
guilty of crime because he deliberately pre-
parcs himself for it by sitting all that is
human in his nature, and stimulatin. all
that is brutal. lie should rather be held
morally responsible for all the other posi-.
bic crimes which tho alcohol he swallows
would drive him to commit if opportunity
offered.

chised at the time and in the manner in
which IL was done. My first objection is,
that the mode that was pursued, if not di-
rectly Unconstitutional, was certainly extra
constitutional, and am utterly opposed to
any violation, direct or indirect, to that
Iinstrumett,f Whenever political party
Ethinks2t = necessary, in order to secure its
supremacy, to, act ,outside of tho constitu.
ton, and this is permitted by the people
without rcbuke, we may be sure that we
have entered upon that downward plane
which every previous republic has Travelled
to destruction. The only hope Of main
tanning our institutions in their integrity
is by n strict observance of the coustitu-
ton, and no party should be allowed to re-
main moment in power which counte-
nances IN any manner any violation Of its
sacred provisions.
My next objection to comforting suffrage
on the negro, Immediately upon his cman-
cipation, was that he was totally incompc.
tent to exercise or even to understand the
rights conferred upon him. The injection
of such mass O. ignorant and unframed
voters into the body polite was the most
perilous strain to which our institutions
have ever been subjected, and the danger
arising from this experiment has not yet
passed. 1t was crime against the whites
Of the South to disfranchisc them in large
part while eufranchising the negro, and
thus practically placing all the rights of the
former at the mercy of newly emancipated
slaves. All these difficulties might have
been avoided had partial suffrage been
adopted in the first instanc, aud the rela-
tions between the two races been allowed
to adjust themselves by the uuimpeded ac>
tion of natural laws. This course would
have been infinitely better for the negro
himself, as it would gradually have trained
him in the exercise of the rights of free
men, and would have prevented that antag
onism between the two races which has
resulted, in so many instances, to the injury
of the negro.
Those who assert that the negro should
have been enfranchised have not hesitatcd
to declare that the Indians, the native free
men of America, and the Chinese, who
have sought our shores in such numbers
should be dcbarrcd that right. Their,
seems to be some Inconsistency in thes,
| views, and the advocates of negro eEfran-
chiscment should be called on to show why
the privilege should be granted to him, tn,
newly emarcipated slave, and yet denied
to men who have always been free and wh'
possess more intelligence.
When the negro was made citizen, i
followed as logical consequence, undc,
the theory Of our institutions, that he mus
become voter. My objection to his en-
tranchisemcut, therefore, is confined to tn,
time when and the mode in which thi
privilege was conferred upon him.

BORROWERS Where one of these nui-
sanccs is located in the neighbour Dod Of an
industrious farmer, he will cause more loss
aud annoyance than the Hcssian fly or the
potato beetle. Probably farmers suffer
more from borrowers than any other class
Of people do. Not only are many farm
implements costly, and generally returned
in dilapidatcd state, but at the very time
when the farmer and his men are about to
use scythc Dr. horse.rakc the article will De
missing, his ncghbor having forgotten to
return it. BY the time its owner can lay
hands on it and sharpen the dullcat blade
or supply broken teeth, serious loss may be
caused. Wagons and carriages arc bor-
rowcd and sent home covered with mud
and minus a bolt, or nut, or with possibly Il
broken spoke.
When farmer cares enough for his bus.
incss to take agricultural papers, he gene
Tally likes to preserve them, but i'll steps his
borrowing friend and carries off his last copy
which will never be returned. For all
this there is but one remcdy-be brave
enough to refuse. Say honestly that you
do net intend to lend. Show that you
pratcc what you preach, and never borrow
The most persistent will soon stop troub-
ling you under such treatment. OF course
there are people 90 whom it is a pleasure
to lend, who take good care Of what they
borrow, but such persons are not habitual
borrowers. Almost every ono has had
some experience with the cheerful, careless,
"casy going sort" who will ask for the meal
from your table and the bread from your
oven to feed unexpected visitors. We have
only to call on our memory to prove that
the latter instance is not exaggerated,
and we blush to confess that we were actu-
ally weak enough to give up our Sunday
dinner at the demand Of an improyidcnt
neighbor 1t is hard to say no the first
time, but say it once and you will never lear
to repeat it.-N l. UcruM
