From

rTOm G0O. W. blCkuoli, 1OftA1hu,
Me.
For me the Health-Lift has done ,condrs.
During the war was wounded in the head.
For about ten years suffered much from a
pressure resulting therefrom. There was no
exercise which I could take which would
quicken the circulation Of the blood in the
part injured. Very often the pressure became
SO great that was unable to perform my du-
ties There was no time that was free from
suffering. A year ago commenced the use OF
the Reactionary Litter. l soon found that
was receiving great benefits from the exercise,
and that it was just what Irequired. One of
its marked features is that at its close, instead
of feeling weary, one is invigorated and re-
freshed. Exercising regularly the pressure in
my head grew less, until, in few weeks, it
was almost removed, and felt like new
man, My strength has been more than doub-
led, enabling me to raise $50 pounds as easy as
I could lift 800 in the beginning. cannot
speak in terms of too high praise for what it
has done for me- while its beneficial effects
upon others, whom have seen improving by
its exercise, have been almost wonderful. To
people of sedentary habits, even in health, its
exercise must be in the highest degree bene-
fetal.

THE NEW ROUTE WEST.
What vanderbilt's Move Means.

The other day the PRESS stated that route
had been established between the West and
Boston that included many of the railroad
links in the proposed line from Portland to the
South and West, and it was reported, was in
the Boston interest. The Boston Advertiser
quoting from the Ogdensburg Republican,
says
The new through freight line which Wander
bilt has established begins at Chicago and ex-
tends to Buffalo via the Michigan Central,
Great Western of Canada, and Canada South
ern; to Syracuse by the New York Central.
From Syracuse it takes the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg, the Ogdensburg and Lake
Champlain, the st. Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain, the Passumpsic, the Portland and
Ogdensburg, and the Boston, Concord, Mon
treal and White Mountain railroads. This new
route to Portland strikes nearly all the impor-
tant points on the Vermont Central, and ena-
bles Vanderbilt not only to spoil its local BUSH
ness, but also to compete against the Grand
Trunk and Vermont Central on the Portland
business, that city being the Grand Trunks
winter port. All the above named New Eng
land re ads have been admitted into the Blue
line, Mr.. Vanderbilt's Northern fast freight
line, which will carry the traffic over the new
route,

MACBETH.

MACBETH
Mr. Keene drew q large audience last even
ing to Portland Theatre to witness his imper-
sonation of Macbeth, not so large as that
gathered to see his Richard but composed of
that class whose presence is always welcome
to the Shaksperian scholar, whose intelligence
enables them to follow the actor understand
ingly.
Now that we have seen Mr.. KeeDe in two
characters we are all the more convinced that
he possesses much genuine talent which, in
time, with study and practice, will make
leading tragedian of him. There was, last
evening, much more of deliberation and
thought displayed in his acting than on the
previous night. His readings at times were
peculiar, and, as we have before said, there is
a great deal of grimacing that takes away
from the force of his facial expression when
he is required to exhibit powerful emotions.
But with all his faults he is absorbed in the
character he represents, and when an actor
does that he shows he has "got stuff in him."
One critic has apty said che endows Macbeth
with less intelligence and decision than is
usually accorded him, and makes him utterly
subservient to the will of his wife, He
doesn't seem to rise to the height of kingship
until the deed is committed that removes
