MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE CONCERT SEASON.

IHE CONCERT SEASON.
If City Hall is handed over to the Mayor by
the painters and gilders in September, Port
land people will enjoy several entertainments
OF high character, which cannot be heard in
Portland the coming season il the repairs on
the hall are not concluded during that month.
Mr. Ira Stockbridge, whose recent musical sea-
sons have given great pleasure to the public
generally, as well as to the critical, has made
several engagements, besides those already re-
ferred to, which will be heard during the au-
tumn.
With good judgment and proper apprecis-
tion of novelty, Mr.. Stockbridge has secured
the Archduke Joseph's Hungarian Gipsey
Band, from Hungary. This celebrated band
appeared at the Paris Exposition, attired in
their national costume, blue coat with gold
trimmings and trousers, top boots and black
felt hats with gray feather. They produced
the most remarkable orchestral effects, and
many of our readers will remember the high
praise Edward King accorded them in his let
tiers from the French capital. The band will
be assisted by first class vocalist.
The Royal Band of Saxony, led by Prof,
Ernst Hollstein, consisting of % musicians,
irom Dresuen, Ooxony, and considered one OF
the best military bands in Europe will appear
assisted by a celebrated vocalist
Besides the above, the celebrated Kempa
Ladies' Orchestra, originally from Berlin, and
more recently from London, led by Herr Piec-
sonka ..kempa, the renowned composer and
pianist, has been engaged. The orchestra con-
sists of eight ladies, each soloist of the first
rank, IN strictly classical programme assisted
by leading vocalist.
These three foreign combinations were all
brought to this country to appear at the great
foreign exposition to be held in Boston, COM
mencing in September.
RANCH TEN.
The Pittsburg Courier speaking of Ranch
Ten, Mr.. Meredith's new play, to be produced
at Portland Theatre next week says: sThat
Ranch Ten win be successful play, in Pc
euniary sense, will not BE- questioned by any
one who witnessed it as presented at the Opera
House yesterday evening. 1t belongs to the
realistic class of plays. Indeed, the realism is
of the most intense nature. The favor of the
border 2ervades it from first to last. 1t is nov
Ell, possesses sufficient humor to relieve the
somber passages, and is as full of incident as
an egg of meat. Mr.. Meredith in dual charac-
tiers sustained difficult roles to the satisfaction
OF large audience. The burning of the Ranch
was one of the most effective scenes ever pre-
sented on the stage.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS -MRs. WNsLow's
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit

known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising

case and is quite explicit as far as II goes.
The affidavit made by FERNANDO Lopkz DIR

commissioner In Florida, positively asserts
that for the past eighteen years the nefarl

Quoted In American ships and by New

sonally known TO GENERAL SHERMAN, with
whom he.once served as field officer, and
the grievance had been placed before
PRESIDENT ARTHUR, who thus far has
seen proper to preserve the strictest silence
on the whole business, perhaps the better
to investigate 1t more thoroughly. But
certainly 1t demands the promptest and
fullest inquiry. 1t is bad enough to vio-

WASHINGTON, July 2l.--Coleman opened
the proceedings to-day before the Hill in
yestieatng mmittee by reading an atiida-
Wit complaining that papers called for by
the prosecution were frat inspected by the
neieuse, who had ample opportunity to
suppress and destroy auv paper calculated
todamage the defense. Totten emphatical Y
denied he had examined any papers called
for by Coleman, with the single exception
of an unimportaut letter, pat In evidence.
He also deLied that any papers had been
suppressed or destroyed. He thus char
acteri2ed Coleman's method OF procedure as
extraordinary. Coleman replied that it was
matter Of Jest in the of
flee Of the supervising architect
that the prosecution bad not
been smart enough to secure the essential
papers. He said the fact that Hill remaining
In charge of the official records made the
investigation a perfect farce in the eyes of
the country and asked for his suspension.
The chairman said the committee would
take the matter under consideration and
submit IL to the secretary. The committee
had no power to suspend Hill.
Totten announced that he was prepared
to begin the defense in the Philadelphia
case as he understood IL had been closed
Tor the prosecution. Coleman declared he
had no Philadelphia case or Chicago case,
or Cincinnati case; they were all parts OF
one charge, and he should refuse to regard
the case as closed.
The chairman said IL was not necessary to
repeat the testimony given in the Phiadel-
phia case, In the Chicago aud Cincinnati
buildings the committee would concede that
the same condition of affairs existed IN
these cases Coleman replied that the frauds
were OF a different character The chair
mon said the committee would hear any
testimony of character different from that
already given in the Philadelphia case, but
did not wish to spend weeks in having that
testimony repeated. 1t would be work
OF supererogation.
Coleman-"But the defense deny that ii
is the same"
The Chairman don't so understand. !"
Coleman--"I do, and am going to offer
proof aud let you rel act il"
The Chairman Offer 1t, then"
Coleman--"We take up but one case Mt u
time"
Alexander moved that Hill be required
to put in his testimony when Colema had
none to offer, and this eiler was finally
made. He also gave notice that he would
move at the proper time to rule out all
evidence touching the 10 per cent. contracts.

WHAT is The matter with the Denison
Herald-News What has gone crooked
with its editor, Mr.. Tom Crooks Fridays
issue Of that paper contains an editorial
obituary notice of GENERAL U. S GRANT,
and this distinguished gentleman will now
have the satisfaction of beholding in life
what the Herald-News thought of him as
dead. while the editor may never have an
opportunity OF knowing what the supposed
dead thinks Of him as "a live journalist"
Both parties will be as equally surprised as
were Sir WALTER RALEIGH and his English
servant when the latter,who had never seen
person smoking the newfound Virginia
weed, entered the apartment OF his master
and Ilndinghim enveloped in smoke, though
him to be on fire and rushed out, brought

over the smoker to extnguish the cause OF
the troubleiand astound the great naviga.

the dispatches stated that the

Journalists vision must have been affected
by some observation, and the stars and
bars about which he was perhaps rowing,
mislead him. Only the other day that same
paper contained long and most interest
