Must lead helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,

Rjdfla'S READINGS.

Mr.. George Riddle gives the first of his Sc
lect readings at Rossini Hall, Friday evening.
The Boston Advertiser says of the Sewing
School for Scandal: ''The scene of Mr.. Wheel
wright's sketch is revealed with frank audaci-
ty to be Salem, although that city of perpetual
peace, where it seems always afternoon, is not
mentioned by name. Mrs. John Quincy
Adams Gobang takes her daughter Sally, who
has an admirer named Endicott, to meeting
of the parish sewing circle, where they meet
Mrs. j. Flint Skinner, its acrid tongued parsi-
monious President, Mrs. Elder Brewster, Mrs.
j. Boulevard Tompkins, and several other per-
sons, young and old, all of the sex which has
just conquered the right to vote for school
committee, except the young minister and a
mild being in trousers, who embroiders con-
ventionalized fower-patterns. The ladies
chatter, talk scandal criticize each other, have
business meeting, and finally break up in
most admired disorder. The sketch is full OF
delicious bits of humor, and it has touches
which are almost mastery. Mr.. Riddles
reading of the Sewing School for Scandal was
fully worthy of its wit. His discrimination OF
each of the personages was perfect, and mark
I'd by great dramatic viyidness."

MOI ming at IL o'clock, to which the members
of the full board and others interested are in
vited, as the subject of the distribution of the

1t is proposed 20 introduce the following reso-
luton: .Ja
Resolved, That in the opinion of the Port
land Board OF Trade the Congress of the
United States should early in the next session
enact suitable legislation for the distribution of
the balance of the Geneva award to the persons
who lost vessels and cargoes by the depreda-
tions of the Confederate cruisers during the
war of the rebellion, and to those who were
obliged to protect the commerce under the
American flag by the payment to underwriters
of extra insurance against risk of capture and
destruction because the Government of the
United States failed by its navy to protect
American vessels cargoes and freights from
spoliation.
Similar resolutions to the above have been
adopted by many other boards and chambers
of commerce. A full expression of opinion
will be invited, and all interested are desired

A Use for the Telephone.


The other day well known insurance man
on Exchange street told two of his clerks they
might go home when they were ready, and to
lock the office door after them, as he should
leave them and could use his own key when
he returned in the evening to enter the office.
Soon after the two clerks left, unmindful of
the fact that fellow clerk was down cellar.
This third clerk came up stairs after they were
gone and awoke to the situation. He had been
to Saccarappa that morning, had partaken of
only slight lunch at noon, and was looking
forward with pleasant anticipation to his 6
O'Clock dinner He tried the Office door, he
tried all the windows. Alas! all were fas-
tened. Then he sat down to think. Thus a
half hour was passed. Dinner at home was
growing cold. All at once he thought of the
telephone. By its use he got boy to come to
the Office door, and to him he shouted through
the keyhole to go to the owners house and get
a key. While the boy was gone the head of
the office returned and the clerk was released
after a two hours imprisonment.

Pierre Duclos.


Pierre, or Peter Duclos, Dugreau, or LIE
Greau, tine man found dead Sunday night,
proves, according to Biddeford policeman,
who visited Portland yesterdaytand identified
the remains, to have been one of a gang of
thieves for whom he had warrant. Sunday
morning one of the gang was arrested, thus
giving the alarm to Duclos who fed. The
officer was on his track and would probably
have arrested him yesterday if he had lived. He
was on the lookout for another man, a partner
in crime of Duclos, but did not succeed in ap-
pretending him. The gang had been engaged
in a series of petty burglaries of late.
Coroner Gould yesterday telegraphed to the
overseers of the Poor of Biddeford in regard to
the disposition of the body. They replied that
Duclos was not resident of Biddeford and de-
clined to pay any expenses. The body was
accordingly turned over to the ovsrseers of
the poor in this city and buried at the city S
expense. 1t will probably be given to the
Medical School under the late law.
