The Seats Maine Representatives Drew.
Perley writing of the seats drawn by the
New England delegation in the House OF Re-
representatives. says The New England dele
CATION did not fare very well. Many of the
Representatives were compelled to stand while
the long list of names was called, impatiently
waiting for their own. Maine had the best
fortune in the last Congress, and was called
the first of the New England States in this.
Mr.. Dingley was the lucky man. He took a
seat in front of the one reserved for Judge
Kelley, but afterward changed it for one near
the front. Reed, who was lucky enough in
the last Congress to secure the very good seat
which he had secured when he first entered,
when called to-day made long strides down
the aisles, and after receiving his favorite seat
leaned back and smiled and seemed at home.
This made little New England colony OF
Reed, Gambler, Norcross and Grape, arranged
in eligible positions Murch was among the late
corners. Ladd took his old seat, which was
not a very good one, but he seldom has any
thing to say from it.

taken in Florence, and put them into Mr. o'f

Early last spring it was thought proper 70

Hall, where all who wished might engage IN
Sabbath school work. The effort has been
crowned with abundant success, and the school
has grown in numbers and interest until now
it has membership of more than sixty.
About the same time religious meetings were
commenced and have been well attended.

suited last Friday evening in the organizing Oh

A Family Relic.

When Mr. knights of this city visited
Damariscove Island last summer the family
residing in the old mansion on the old family
property, handed him an inkstand that had
been found between the lathing and boarding
when repairing the house. The inkstand is
small, square leaden article, like little square
box, punctured with q small hole, and very
heavy. Damarscove Island belonged to Mr..
Knights grandfather, and descended to his
father and thence to himself, he in turn selling
it to the present owners. When the mansion
was building his father lived in another house
close by, and it is probable the inkstand was
accidentally dropped where it was found,
having been carried over from the adjoining
house. The inkstand bears the letters l. s. on
one side, d. @. on the second, D. r. on the
third and 1887 on the fourth, which mean
Daniel knights, Damariscove Island, 1887.

The Story of One of the Spanish Students
Many of our citizens remember the troupe OF
Spanish Students whose exquisite music on
the mandolins and guitars created such a
furore last year, and some of their auditors
doubtless noticed the handsome member OF the
band who played the guitar and acted as
second leader. His name is E. de Valencia.
and it seems that he had cause for sadness. 1t
appears that he was member OF noble
family, who owned large estate near Bar
celona. He was finely educated by his parents
and gradusted out of the college at Barcelona
when about 20 years old. He was a very am
bilious young man, and soon developed poll
teal principles different from those OF the rest
of the family. He soon became known as an
advocate of liberty, and as opposed to the
government of Spain. The principles ex-
banded, and he became what would be called
at the present day an "agitator." He refused
to be intimidated, and was finally arrested and
tried. His father exerted his influence and
mana god to secure his release upon the con-
dition that he would leave the country and
not return. This condition the young man ac-
cepted, and being released from custody he
took his Spanish guitar and went into exile.
He was undecided whether to remain in Eu-
rope or come to America, and finally decided
to do the latter. He was led to do this by
several of his schoolmates who had determined
to form themselves into musical society and
come to America and go on the stage. Being
a fine musician De Valencia was induced to
ioin them, and SO he left his native country
and came to America in the role of a travelling
musician. The students performed in all the
principal Eastern cities and attracted con-
siderable attention, and everywhere, as here.
De Valencia was Conserved among all obser-
vers" A few days ago, in New York, he re-
ceived intelligence from his sister that his
father was dead, and also that before his death
he had secured from the government pardon
for his son, which allowed him to return home
and inherit his fathers property. The young
man returned home to Spain on the first
steamer to take possession of his estate, and In
stead of appearing in variety theatres as
wandering musician he will henceforwdrd be
known as Spanish Count.

Theft.

A man, giving the name of j. Harrison,
stole an oyercoat in Boston containing valua
able papers, and the thief wrote to the owner
that by sending 81 to Portland post office he
would ruturn the papers. The man sent the
money and policeman stood at the delivery
window of the post office when the letter ar
rived. When the thief called for his letter he
was arrested by officer Stevens. The thief says
that he is New York lawyer, and that Harri-
son is not his right name.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE HurcHINsoNs.

The Hutchinson Family are no strangers to
Portland In the old days they battled for the
right with all the strength and devotion of
their beautiful voices, in the concert room and
on the political platform. Many of them have
gone to their longlhome, but the younger gener-
alton remain, with one or two of the elders.
Last night they gave concert in City Hall,
for the benefit of the Y. NJ. G. A, and large
audience greeted them. They were assisted
by Mr.. Isaac LittleHeld, tenor, and Miss Flor
ence Holmes, contralto, and presented pro-
eramme of seventeen numbers. The encore
fiend was present, and would not down, even
when MT. Hutchinson after a persistent en-.
core, said, 1--WE have several more songs on the
programme" SO that 1t was late before the en-
tertainment concluded. All the family have
good voices, and especially Mr.. Henry j.
old time songs, like "People's Advent" and
"Drink Cold Water" were the ones that cap
tured the honse, sung in the family's peculiar
style, and did not seem to have lost particle
of their old effect. Miss Holmes was also re-
called after her selection of Pinsuti's ARROW
and Song" She has good contralto voice,
and sang with taste and expression.
Miss Jenniebelle Neale has not been heard
in Portland since her first appearance IN Con-
gress Hall, several years ago. She has bright,
speaking countehance, mobile features, and
graceful gestures. Her voice is pleasing and
her style animated. She appears, however, to
suffer from slight impeachment, like lisp,
which does not permit her enumeration to be
quite as distinct as one could wish, and, in the
pronunciation of foreign words she should be
sure and get the accurate accent. Miss Neale
is very popular on the platform, and deserved
ly so, but there are very few elocutionists who
are yet at the head of their profession. She is
still young, and, with study and good courage,
have no reason to despair.
NOTES.
The performance of Lucia" by Mapleson's
company in New York, Monday night, was
success. Mile. Vachot made an excellent, if
not great, Lucia, while Campanini and Golassi
were admirable.
The "Lghts O'London," proiaced at the
Union Square, New York, after long prepare
ton, Monday night, proved all that was claim
ed for it. The scenery, by Marston, is superb,
while the play itself is above the average of
melo-drama and very interesting. 1t was
warmly received.
Mile. Rhea will make her first appearance in
Boston, next Monday, at the Globe, as "Adri-
enne Lecouvreur"
PATHS second concert in Boston did not
draw the crowd seen at her first appearance.
1t is said the full Boston Museum Compa-
nv will present Patience in City Hall the
first or second week of next month. They
will bring the original cast and fine orches-
