Chestnut Street C hurch.

Seven more were admitted to this church
Sunday morning by profession, and one by let
ter In the afternoon the pastor, DR.. McKeown,
preached to an audience filing every part Of
the large edifce, from Rom. 14:16, "Let not
then your good be evil spoken Of" the main
effort OF the discourse being to show that in
non-essentials we should yield our preferences
rather than wound "weak brother"
In the closing portions of his discourse the
speaker took wider range, and said the pre-
cept of the text found its full scope and force
in the thought that, while we ought to be care
ful mot to lower the standard Of religion even in
the mind Of weak brother, by doing what he
thinks Is wrong though we may not see 1t to be
such,-and especially careful not to lower it by
doing what we ourselves do not clearly see to be
nght,-much more ought we not to lower it by
doing what all the world sees to be wrong
"Let not your good be evil spoken Of" Give
no occasion for word of disparagement Keep
Il above criticism. Let it be like Caesars wife,
o, IL but this one precept was observed, how
different an attitude would religion hold on the
earthi Religion takes not the sword of con-
quest. She has nothing on which to rely but
her character; and she needs nothing else so
long as that is maintained. There is divini-
ty in every mans breast that responds to her
divinity when that shines forth Glad in the
armor of righteousness she can stand against
the world. Oh, if Christians didn't give any
ground for people to say that they are sharp
and tricky in trade just like other men; If they
didn't show the weakness and subserviency,
trucking and chicanery, for Office, position,
emolument, as ministrations to pride and
worldly pleasures, just like men who do not
profess to have anything more substantial and
satisfying; if ministers would live as they
preach and Christians vote as they pray, and
act in all things else in accordance with the
principles they profess, how soon would God g
people sweep the decks, and not piratical
craft of hell be left to sail the seas of time.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
ouR COLLINS.

OUR GoBLINS.
"Our Goblins" given at the Portland Thea
tire last night gave great pleasure In the first
act the company rehearse play entitled $50
eiety in Nutshell" )" in which the strong scene
is between Mrs. Strebelow Duval, society
wife, (hiss Elinor Deering) and Mr.. Strebelow
Duval, society husband (Mr Francis Wilson.)
This is burlesque on the Bankers Daugh-
ter" and Mr.. Wilson was really funny in his
take off on Thorne, while Miss Deering made
pleasant adjunct to the success of the scene.
In a previous scene Mr.. Wilson, the society
husband, appeared in evening attire, opera
hat. etc, and executed clever song and
dance. Miss Carson has a very charming
yoice-in fact, sings better than any one else
in her line of business, besides presenting a
very attractive stage appearance. Mr.. j. M.
Norcross sang a ballad with q powerful bass
voice. and Mr.. Gill led a chorus in "Au for
the Sake of Eliza" In the second act the
company visit the Rhine and quietly drift into
the closing act of tho "The Goblins." The
performance, on the whole, is very good and
quite equal to anything in that line. 1t will be
repeated tonight.
Next Friday and Saturday Gus Williams, a
great Portland favorite, will appear at Port
land Theatre in "Our German Senator and
nProfessor Keiser." Sale of seats tomorrow
Don't fail to procure tickets at Stockbridge's

Society of Natural History

At the meeting of the Society Of Natural
History last evening Mr.. G. W. Fem made his
report as curator of mineralogy.
The collection numbers 1874 specimens,
many of which are large and valuable and of
unusual beauty. The collection has not yet
been fully arranged, and it is proposed to
have second cabinet of specimens selected
with reference to the wants of the scholars OF
our public schools.
A beautiful collection of minerals was ex-
hibited, the gift of the Engineer Mining and
Developing Co. of Colorado, Thomas j. Little
Secretary.
Mr.. N. Clifford Brown announced that the
Smithsonian Institute would soon forward to
the Society large number of Western birds
suitable for study
Major John M. Gould then addressed the
Society upon the subject of the Mountains OF
Maine.
There is scarcely anything published to give
stranger a good idea of the mountains OF
Maine. Osgood's guide book to the mountains
devotes twenty-four pages to the White noun
tains of Western Maine, and Varney's Gazetteer
has brief mention of many of the peaks The
various country maps and the Walling
map of Maine also have located the hills best
known, yet from all three sources one cannot
learn the height of dozen peaks.
The first question is "How many noun
tains are there in Maine?" Osgood mentions
but sixty-three as worthy the present notice of
the tourist and the State of Maine map figures
SIT, some of which, notably those on the N
W. frontier do not exist in fact. The speaker
could only say that it is matter of great un-
certainty and possibly there are. five or even
ten thousand hills and mountains that will be
called by names if the State is ever densely
| settled.
The process of disintegration was described
the mountain sides are usually found covered
with frost-quarried slabs which with the bed
| rock is slowly yielding to the weather. Slides
| frequently occur and the rain is ever carrying
| the loose earth to the valley. Nearly all the
| mountains bear evidence of having been swept
| by fire; and the Indians have tradition of a
| "great fire" which swept over large part OF
| Oxford county On the other hand mountains
| once barren have been known to create new
| soil which gathers first at the base and in the
| crevices and gradually covered the greater
| part of the mountain.
| The fauna and flora change as we ascend the
! higher peaks. By Humboldts formula 27S

| latitude. On peak in Maine 1900 feet high
| we find insects and flowers similar to those OF

more worthless as we go Ihigher and finally a
belt is reached through which it is Ealmost i'm
possible to force ones way; the trees though
mere bushes in size are found growing thick,
matted and ragged.
Katahdin is the ehighestmountain in Maine 1t
has never been measured by leveling which is
the only exact process. Prof. Fernald Of the
agricultural college, Orono made q series OF
careful observations with good mercurial bar
ometers year or two ago and computed the
height to be 5,215 TT. 1t cannot be stated which
peak is second after we have left the Katahdin
group. Mts. Abraham. Saddleback and Bige-
low, in Franklin and Somerset counties are
possibly 1000 feet high, as also are Speck led
and Bear River White Cap of Grafton, while
the north of Oxford county can be seen peak
after peak, which have never been measured.
Indeed, excepting Katahdin, the mountains on
the coast and Mt. Blue of Avon, which have
been occupied by the coast survey, the spea ker
was not aware that any mountain in the State
had been leveled up or visited with mercu-
rial barometer. Here then is a vast field which
it will take years to explore, and which will
furnish substantial occupation for as many
enthusiastic mountaineers as may attempt the
task

Mr.. Libby Lacks TO Votes OF
Success.
The Combined Libby and Littlefield
Vote 500 Over all Others.

1t was a wet, disagreeable day yesterday,
but a vote aggregating over $500 was thrown
in this city. 1t was very quiet election, but
for all that there was great curiosity as to the
result because people considered the issue SO
doubtful The vote of Mr.. Littlefeld, the
Congress Hall Prohibition candidate, amount
ed to 4S3, a fair average between the extremes
at which his vote was placed before the cleo
tion by his least and most sanguine supporters
Mr.. Ames' vote was mere bagatelle, so small
that it may be classed in the scattering
There were many split tickets in the field,
the most peculiar one headed with Mr.. Little
fields name for Mayor and having that Of
John Sullivan, Jr., for Common Councilman;
the antipodes of opinion on the rum question
But these split tickets were so numerous and
embraced 30 many combinations that 1t would
be useless to try and print them.
Quite feeling was created in Ward Three
by motion of Capt Charles H. Chase to al
low no man to go inside the desk or to stand on
the rail to tally. One Republican stood by the
side of the desk, however, and kept q tally.
The Warden, at the request of several Demo
Gratis, sent for Deputy Marshal Black to re-
move him. The deputy decided that the man
was peaceable and was not obstructing voters.
He therefore refused to remove him.
1t will be seen that there was no choice for
Mayor, and, at the meeting of the Board Of
Alderman to count the vote officially this af-
ternoon, it is most probable it will be voted to
hold another election for Mayor on Monday,
March 10th. A weeks notice must be given
anyway. When Mayor Mcclellan failed of
an election in 1868 that was the course then
pursued
1t will also be observed that Republican
fails of an election for Councilman in Ward
One. Mr. Hallett had 391 votes and required
Al for majority. In Ward Two an election
for Alderman, Clerk and one Constable must
be held.
With the above exception in Ward One the
Republicans carry five out Of seven wards in
the city.
To get fair idea of the Republican majori-
ty the Libby and Littlefeld vote combined
must be counted for the Republicans which
will give total of 1902 votes, as against 2306
for Deering, Ames and scattering, or major
ity for the Republicans of 896 which is gain
of $40 over the Republican majority of 1881.
Libby's plurality over Deering is 460. The
Republican Aldermanic majority is 6S6.
The city charter reads, in case OF failure to
elect Mayor, as follows:
"But if it shall appear that no person shall
have been so elected, or if the person elected
shall refuse to accept the Office, the said board
shall issue their warrant for another election;
and in case the citizens shall fail on second
ballot to elect Mayor, the City, Council in con-
vention shall, from the four highest candi-
dates voted for at the second election and re-
turned, elect Mayor for the ensuing year."
The following is the vote for Mayor compar-
ed for 1881 and 1882, with the city vote for ward
officers for the present year:

Mr.. ]. W. Deering, gas agent, reports:

The city now sustains 454 street lanterns,
which consumed 5,196,0O0 feet against 4,940,-
600 feet the preceding year, an increase in con-
sumption of gas of 255, ,450 feet in street lights.
The amount paid by the city for gas consumed
in street lamps and public buildings, and for
lighting and extinguishing street lamps for the
year ending Dec 81, 1881, is $40, 9,563.00, against
$21 ,582.75 the preceding year, a reduction OF
cost, Notwithstanding Increased consumption
of gas, by the city Of 81, ,92975. 1t will be here
observed the price was reduced June 1, 1881,
consequently the saving has been made in
seven months, and the city has five months
more of the gas year to use gas at the same
price, which would make an estimated reduc
ton of about $3,3O000 over the preceding
gas year. The gas has uniformly been of the
best quality, as shown daily by the photome-
ter.
