A Tough Lamb Story.

The Lewiston Journal is responsible for the
following: sa
The toughest lamb story that has come from
the region of agriculture this spring, arrives
this morning, and is voucbed for by farmer
resident of Lewiston. Robert Goddard of
Oak Hill, Monmouth, has sheep, which gave
birth to black lamb few days ago. The
mother refused to own her dark-complexioned
offspring. Every effort was made to induce
her to acknowledge the lamb and care for it,
dogs were set on it, the lamb was abused, etc.,
but to no purpose, and the unlucky lamb was
sold for 30 cents. just IS hours after the first
birth, q beautiful white lamb was born to the
same mother, and her delight knew no bounds

| Friday and Saturday. evenings Miss
Genevieve Ward will appear as Stephanie de
Mohrivart at Portland Theatre. As regards
the play of Forget-Me-Not the action is Of the
simplest sort, and is confined practically to two
people, Stephanie, Marquise de Mohrivart and
Sir Horace Welby. an English tourist. TIL csc
two people conduct the plot o. the piece. The
fewest words will convey to our readers what
tits about. This Marquise, who is a gambling
adventures or rather has been, and who has
lost her husband, wishes to push herself into
good society. It appears that her son. who is
dead, and who seems to have known nothing
of the profession of his parents, has married
the daughter Of noble English house. To
this daughter and her sister the Marquise
comes and tells them they must be her social
sponsors When they refuse Stephanie informs
her daughter-in-law that her marriage in
France was SO far against the law that if she,
as the mother of the dead husband, chooses to
protest against it, it will be declared null and
void, and her child Legitimate. II, on the
contrary they will chapecone her in society
for six weeks she will never trouble them more
and they need take no further care for her.
When things are in this position Sir Horace
Welby arrives upon the scene, and what there
ia of action in the piece then seriously begins
Welby is in love with Alice Vernsy, the sister,
which explains his interest. The first, second
and third acts are made up almost entirely OF
scenes between Stephanie and Welby, wherein
both expose their hands freely and endsavor to
outwit each other, the final discontinue OF
Stephanie being brought about by her fear ola

afterward the terminus was removed to
Julesburg, 374 miles west of Omaha,
and that town f1ourished for a few
months. 1t was during the summer Of
1867 that Julesburg became SO noted
for the numerous murders committed
there. In July or August the survey
ors Of the road had reached the place
where Cheyenne now is, and they were
surprised by a small band of Indians,
when a fight ensued and Engineer Hill
was killed. In October Of that year
the town Of Julesburg began an exodus
for Cheyenne, which had just started
to grow. Much Of the moving was
done by teams all the distance, while
some of the buildings were taken part
way by train, but about November LIST
the trsGklayers reached near the town.
On November 5th trains began running
to Cheyenne, and the road was pushed
on west and reached Granite Gallon,
where the last rail laid that season was
spiked down, opposite where the depot
now is, on Christmas day, 1867, and the
work of building the road west began
from that point the next spring.

mother and SOM is a peculiar Eng
fish play in which a strong-minded boy
purloins money to save a step-brother
from crime, and is himself discovered,
and, rather than expose the step-broth-
er, he assumes the burden of the theft,
is weighted with his mothers curse,
and goes forth upon the world in an
guish and pain. In fifteen years after
ward he returns changed in appearance
and manner, and assumes a Spanish
name. Having achieved wealth he buys
the estate from which he was driven
with his mothers curse, and calls to
pay his respects to his neighbors, who
were his mother and kinsmen, but who
knew him not.
However, Selma, who was a girl
only ten years old when the wayward
son departed. and who loved him at
that time recognized him almost by in
stinct. The discovery is communicated
to others of the family, but the difficulty
is to break the news to the
LlOIlel. 1I0 dItSmpI 10 uduC
and the ice is broken by Selma, who
relates 4 dream, in which she saw the
sou, Bruno. A reconciliation is hnally
effected, and the curtain descends on
the mother and son in each others
arms, the curse is withdrawn, the Sc
cret of the theft having been disclosed
by the step brother on his dying bed,
and the aged mother is made happy in
knowing that her son was not at heart
a criminal.
~Janauschek sustained the character
of the countess 1.-THE mother) and did
some splendid acting. Her carriage
and department were mastery. She
looked and acted the countess, proud,
~iuexorahle and strong minded. Mr..
Stuart appeared to excellent advantage
as the son. Miss Story simply sur
prised all by her fine acting. Her reel
tai of her dream was one of the finest
bits of acting we have ever seen, and
the renewed bursts of applause which
followed, demonstrated how warmly
the audience appreciated her efforts.
The balance of the support was good,
and on the whole the play passed off
very successfully.
