MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE Planters WIFE,


The drama of "The Planters Wife" will be
produced at Portland Theatre tonight and to-
morrow evening. 1t is story of the war, and
when acted here last season by Miss Granger
and Mr.. Lacy, proved very effective and drew
excellent audiences Miss Rigl is one of the
prettiest women on the stage, and what is
charming foreign accent, which heightens her
perso nation to great degree. Mr.. Lacy is a
strong actor, and the comedy parts of Simon
Simcoe and Angie Gordon are well taken, eg-
pecially the latter, by Miss Ida Glenn. There
should be large audiences at the theatre on
both occasions.
Haverly's Mastodon MinstreIs will be at
Portland Theatre New Years day, afternoon
and evening.
Mrs. Langtry will be at Portland Theatre on
Jan. Sd, 4th and 9th.
John Mccullough was in New York on Fri
day, and left on Saturday for Philadelphia. His
health is entirely restored. It is necessary to
warn the public against jokes and sensational
stories respecting this actors state of health,
which are from time to time imposed upon the
press. These stories originate partly in igno-
rant gossip and partly in malice. Mr. McCul-
Tough has been out of health-overworked,
tired and depressed in spirits. But this illness
has passed away, and there is no more reason
whatever, for any further talk upon the sub

Speaking of Nillson in the new opera of Gil

adapted to the peculiar bent of Nine. Nelson's
tragic genius, and she displayed the keenness

her intelligence by hundred little touches
that brought into relief well-rounded concep
ton of the character of the ballad singer. The
male characters in the opera are weakly drawn
the best efforts of so painstaking an Factor as
Sig. Del Puente failing to make a striking per-
sonation even of Barnaba. The performance
on Saturday was witnessed by large audience
that contained an unusual number of we'll
known musical figures. Nine. Lembrich Nine.
Vallelia and Nine. Minnie Hauk occupied
seats in baignors. Mrs. Annie Louise Gary
Raymond occupied an orchestra stall, and
shifting from place to place were two noted

"Boys," says an exchange, edo OF
sneer at the hard-working mechanic,
for beneath that dust-soi oiled jacket may
lurk the spirit of true nobility
The exchange is eminently correct. II
is, indeed, wrong to pass through this
world sneering at mechanics. A good,
average, able bodied mechanic is a bad
man to sneer at. At almost any unex-
pected moment he is quite liable to
suddenly transfer some of the dust on
his Jacket to the broadcloth coat Of the
sneerer, and jolt him severely if he
sneers too hard at the mechanic. Ifa
boy or q young man is contemplating
sneering at mechanic, 1t would be
quite as well not to lei the hardworkine
mechanic catch him at it. When the
boy wants to sneer real badly, and feels
that he can't hold it any longer, il
would be far better, instead ofplunging
right into the midst of hardworkine
mechanics to seek some secluded locali.
| ty and have his sneer out all by him
self. 1t would look great deal better
and the boy would look bet er when ht
went home to the bosom of his family.
No, boys, it is neither polite, gcnteeI
nor wise to sneer at a mechanic. Nei-
ther is it healthy. The habirual sneerel
at mechanics is sometimes cut oft in the
flower of his youth. Life is toe short tc
indulge in such perilous recreation
The sneerer is too often found ina pen
sive mood, abstractedly engaged in APP

eyes, trying to reduce a swollen most

practical lesson in parlor etiquette
W hich the youth will not be liable tt
