MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McsoRLEY's INITIATION.


Mcsorley's Initiation drew a good sized aud
fence at Portland Theatre last evening. The
play is full of fun, and contains all the COM
edy elements, even to the Chinaman. The
principal characters are Alderman McSorley
and his wife Bridget, these parts being as
sumed by Messrs. James Kearney and j. H.
Ryan. All the members of the company are
good, and are fair singers. Intersperssd
throughout the play are the songs: "The
Market on Saturday Night" 81 Never Drink
Behind the Bar, The Old Feather Bed"
"The Muddy Day." "The Golden Choir"
"Tbe Bunch of Berries" 1.-THE Salvation
Army" and "The Charleston Blues" The
two latter were especially well rendered, and
received several encores. The play drags
little In parts, but there is considerable III Il to
laugh at. The music by the orchestra, under
the direction of Mr. Geo. f. Rraham, was very
fine, and the xylophone soloIby Master Eddie
King was one Of the features of the evening.
The play will be repeated this evening.
FRANK MAYO.
Tonight the eminent actor, Frank Mayo,
will appear at City Hall for the benefit of the
Browns Light Artillery, in his famous crea-
tion of "Dayy Crockett" The drama itself is
rich in beauty, sentiment and noble inspira-
tons. Its central figure is that of the honest,
courageous and chivalric Crockett, and its out
lines in substance have in them everything to
admire; nothing to condemn. Mr.. Mayo has
allied himself to the part with that consummate
art which battles the endeavor of the critic to
discover flaw, and his admirers continually
find new beauties in the character which he SO
admirably assumes. His support is said to be
in every respect commendable. The members
OF the company will officate as ushers.

HOY FARMERS TALK.

OF the great picnic held in Pennsyl-
vania by the grangers, the Kansas
City Times comments sensibly, and
says some things well worth needing,
and reproduction. "The picnic was
not ouly attended By the leading
farmers cfihe Keystone state, but by
a great number OF farmers and their
wives aud daughters from adjoining
states. The picnic, it is said, was very
enjoyable. These men did not come
there to strike against their employ
ers. They did not come together to
demand higher wages nor shorter
hours. They did not pass resolutions
that day shall be eight hours. long,
nor that their wages shall be so much
money per hour, or that wheat shall
he SO many dollars and cents per
bushel, of meat shall be SO much u
hundred weight.
They did not form combinationsth that
their goods shall be sold at certain
price or that the number of farms shall
be limited. Ihey dld not say that no
one else but them shall sci! farm pro-
ducts in the United States. Nothing

they remained in consultation until
late hour. Their presence here and
the fact Of their having met at Gen.

many surmiseS as to what was the
object of their coming together. They
themselves say their meeting was
entirely informal and not premcd-

visited him, and on finding themselves
together the conversation naturally
turned on Southern politics III general
