MUSIC AND THE DRAMA

THE OREGONIANS.
The sale of seats for the musical Oregonians,
the marvellous McGibeny Family of Portland,
opens this morning at o'clock at the theatre
box office, and those who wish choice of seats
should apply early as they will doubtless re-
ceive Gro ded house. The New York Mer-
curry. IN referring to them says:-"This family
CONSISTS OF father, mother and seven children
the latter ranging in age from II down to
years, and form a band and orchestra and are
proficient in the execution of their respective
instruments. They are also possessed of good
voices and in conjunction with the finely
trained voices of father and mother give an
elegant and artistic music entertainment"
ANNIE PIxLEY.
There has been an excellent demand for
tickets to see Annie Pixley, who will appear
al New Portland Theatre in "Mliss" tonight
Annie Pixley is one of the few actresses who
can portray the character that Bret Harte
painted without exaggeration on the one hand
or tameness on the other. Her conception is
as poetcal as the romance of the Sierras,
while it abounds in many touches that show
Miss Pixley an emotional actress of no mean
order. The following will be the cast:

TRANsPLASTISG IN THE NiGiiT.-A
gentleman anxious to ascertain the effect
OF transplanting at night, instead OF by
day, made an experiment with the fol-
lowing results: He transplanted ten
cherry trees while in bloom, commenc-
ing at four o'clock in the afternoon.-
Those transplanted during the daylight
shed their blossoms, producing little or
no fruit, while those transplanted in the
dark maintained their condition fully.
He did the same with ten dwarf trees
after the fruit was one-third grown
Those transplantcd in the day shed their
fruit those transplanted during the
night perfected the crop and showed no
injury from having been removed
With each Of these trees he removed
some earth with the roots. The Incl
dent is fully vouched for, and if few
similar experiments produce a like re-
suit, it will be strong argument to hor-
ticulturists, etc., to do such work at
night.-F2oyai Cabinet.

days ago man charged with stealing

was pretty strong. and when the prose-
cutting attorney arose he showed exact
~ how the defendant lifted the chickens
from the roost. He described the sur
roundings and the excited haste of the
prisoner, until the charged man arose
and said:
"Jedge, reckon you'll let me say a
few words" No objection was ex-
pressed and the man continued: "Jest
sign me down guilty"
ado you plead guilty 2"
al reckon I'd jist rs well. This fcllcr
is determined that did steal the chick
ems, an ruther than dispute his word,
for he seems to be a clever sort Of fcl-
Ter, I'll let it go his way"

chickens1"
"No, ledge, | was at prar-meetin' on

asking man a question concerning his
wife you should not say: GLOW is your
ladyF" This is vulgarity and invariably
betrays lack Of cultivation. The term
wife Is far more beautiful and appropri-
ate and refined, whatever may be said
to the contrary. Suppose lady were
to say, instead Of "my husband, "my
gentleman" or suppose we were to
speak Of "Mrs. Fitz Maurice and her
gentleman. The thing would be pos
itively ludicrous, and its diverse is none
the less so if rightly considered. A

JosH BILLINGS on MARRIAGE.-By
awl means Joe get married il you have
a fair show. Don't stand shivering on
the bank, but pitch rite in and stick your
head under and shiver it out. There
amt any more trick in getting married
than there is in eating peanuts. Many
a man has stood shivering on the shore
until the river run out. Don't expect
to marry an angel, they have been all
picked up long ago. Remember Joe,
you hain't n saint yourself. DO not
marry for beauty exclusively beauty is
like ice, awfully slippery and thaws
dreadfully easy. Don't marry for luv
neither; luv is like a cooking-stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives
out. But let the mixture be some beauty,
becomingly dressed, with about two
hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket,
a gud speller, handy and neat in her
house, plenty OF good sense, tuff consti
tuition and bylaws, small feet, a ligh,
step; add to this sound teeth and a
warm heart. The mixture will keep in
any climate and will not evaporatc.-
Don't marry for pedigree unless it's
backed by bank-notes. A family with
nothing but pedigree generally lacks
sense.
