MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE MASCoTTE.

THE MASCoTTE.
Audran's charming opera of the "Mascotte,"
given by amateurs for the benefit of Miss
Leila Farrell will pack Portland Theatre this
afternoon and evening. The opera will be
beautifully costumed, excellent music will be
furnished by Grimmer's orchestra, the piece
will be handsomely staged, Mr.. Goold will

many friends of the parties interested are

cpations

the box Office was opened yesterday. Portland
should and no doubt will do honor on this &C.
casion to one of the leading actresses on the
En. lish speaking stage. Miss Ward is not on
ly identified with the greatest triumph in
America, but the English and French stages
were actually the first to do her honor. The
Boston Globe says: 1t is not at all necessary
to enter into detail upon the merits of Miss
Wards Stephanie. 1t must suffice to state, as
we have already done in general way, its ex-
allied merit, and to further express our great
qualification that this very talented tragedenne
was received and appreciated, during her en-
gagement as she deserved. This will, in some
degree, repay her for her labors and amenities.
and compensate her for the risks she certainly
made in view of the preceding visit. 1t is
true that the public, to an extent is capricious,
but it is equally true that it, in the long run,
is just and considerate. Boston poured into
the Globe such audiences the past week as on
iy positive skill, ability and experience can
command.
Charlie Collins has arrived and the rehearsals
of ''6l 65'' will now go on with increased in

The Acad ian Recorder of Halifax, N. s., OF
Saturday last, after rshearsing the correspond
ence, we'll known now, between Hamm and
Conley on the one hand, and Davis and Ken
nedy on the other, in reference to three-mile
race, concludes as follows:
''The publication of this correspondence
should no doubt make the general sporting
public think that Hamm and Conley did NOT
back down from the so-called champions, and
that they were ready to row them at any time
when suitable water and weather could be
procured. The fact that it took Davis and
Kennedy over four weeks to reply ~ to the
first challenge proves that they did not want a
race, and but for their reputation it is possible
that they would not have taken any notice OF
it whatever. AS the matter now stands. all
will agree that the Haligonians have the best
of it, and that Davis and Kennedy will have to
defeat them in a race before they can regain
their reputation. The association have acted
most proper in publishing the letter, showing
the public how the Portland scullers acted in
the matter all through. 1t is probable that
the appearance of the letter will affect the
parties challenged, and we would not be sur
prised to hear shortly of another defiance is
sued by them"

Refused Duty.

Six men, the entire crew of the bark Megun-
ticook, Capt Hath away, Boston, refused duty
Tuesday, the vessel having cleared with car
go of lumber. She was to sail yesterday morn
ing. The Shipping Commissioner and the cap
tain demonstrated with them, but to no effect.
Complaint was then made to United States
Commissioner Rand, and United States depu-
ties Smith and Marble arrested the six and
brought them ashore yesterday They were
arraigned before the Commissioner and put
under $500 bonds each, in default of which
they were committed. The bark is, the Depu-
ties say, one of the bestfound vessels they have
ever seen, and the officers competent and kind.

The Value OF Mental Tension.

A certain degree of tension is indis-

No coed, great, or enduring work can be
safely accomplished by brain-force with
out reserve of strength sufficient to
give buoyancy TO the exercise, and if |
may so say, rhythm to the operations of
the mind. Working ut high-p essufe
may he bad, but working at low-pres-
sures is ineomparably worse. As mat

Ven a feeling of disgust or WEAKNESS

the compelling sense of duty has crushed
self out of thought. Nevertheless, II
the will is not pleasurably excited, If il

Gently brought from those regions will
undoubtedly preclude the resolution re-

The peculiar facination which those

to perceive the gains commensurate to
the terrible sacrifice of life which has

the unknowable. Within the frozen cir
