OLD n4.IE n0OK."
= Pen Picture OF nm Eminent
Waco lawyer.

Major C. Il. Pearre, alias "Oll Blue
Book, has been attending the district
court during the past week. Tie major,
who was states attorney pt this dI- rirt
for number uf years, Won the suuhu-
quet Of "Oid Blue Book among the
trausgres5Jrs Of the law, by always read
ing the 0cnnl laws from volume bound
Iu blue. When the muIO arose TO rO4-
ccute, with the "old blue book in hls
haud, the offenders were struck dumb.
Hut when tin" states attorney" tn ned
that hardware face tow rd the cour',
and in his peculiar pop-whip style, and
squeaking voice that nothing earthly eau
initiate, the sinners shook as reeds
touched by the breath OF hurricane.
Then he began lit please the court,nud
gentlemen OF the jury" Here follows
description Of Major Pearre's vigorous
style OF prosecutions. The Major has
long since ceased TO prosecute. The Old
Blue Book hes untouched IN the library,
where moths CORFU t and viii thieves
break through and steal" everything
they can get their hands ON. H. now
has lucrative practice IN the civil
courts, and Is perhH. one ~ the most
successful attorneys in the state. For
the defense he seems peculiarly fitted
While he was prosecuting attorney all
who knew him frankly confessed that he
wns made for the business. Since he
has been defending, these same persons
wonder that he ever succeeded IN pres.
ecutins.

Funeral of Matthew F. whittier

The funeral services Of Mr.. Whittier oc-
Cured at the Maverick House, East Boston,
yesterday forenoon, and were conducted by
Rsv. James Freeman Clarke. Among the
large number present were his brother, the
poet, aud other members of the family, j. T.
Trow5ridge. Mrs. James T. Fields. Sarah o.
Jewett, ana the Rev Messrs. Twiichell, Scott
and Potter of East Boston. The collectors
department was represented by Col. W. ii.
Hart, Major H. G. Weymouth Fred Grant
and Captain q. M. Wilson The delegation
from the naval department consisted of Col
onel Daniel Hall. ]. II. Pope, G. c. White
more, Lewis A. Dodge, Frank P. Hartman
and Captain G. NJ. Wilson.
Upon the casket was laid a floral cross, and
this with bunch of panses which the poet
held in his hand, comprised the floral offsr-
ings, which was in accordance with the wish
of the deceased that there should be no elab-
crate display in that respect After reading
of the Scripture, the Rev. James Freeman
Clarke in simple, effective lsngnage, spoke in
memory of the departed, and alluded to the
frequent use of the word "Sleep" as syno-
nym for death in the sermons and teachings
of the Saviour. From this side death seems
terrible; from the other it must seem of little
moment. Christ, having a two-fold nature,
human and divine, saw death as it really is.
Having the divine nature he looked at it from
the other side and saw it TO be but sleep.
The Ruggles Street quartette sang at the
| opening the hymn, "Come Unto Me-" and at
ter PRAYER, the hymn which was particularly
| loved by Mr.. Whittier, "Joyfully, Joyfully,
| Onward l Come" The services closed with
the chant, at is Well with My Soul" The
remains were then conveyed to the Eastern
| Railroad station, to be inferred in the family
| burying pacs at Amesbury.

Gave 1t Dead Away.

In reference 10 The item beaded "An Aged
Juror" in yesterdays PRESS, the story goes
that Gorham map saw Mr.. Stanwood among
the Grand Jury, and asked Portland liquor
dealer, a friend of his, if Mr.. Stanwood was
not too old to serve On the jury. The liquor
dealer told his counsel, who advised his client
to keep quit. The counsel intended to let
Mr.. Stanwood serve as foreman of the Grand
Jury, sign the papers, etc, and then after the
indictments we're found, if there was one
against his client, file a plea in abatement on
the ground that the Indictment was illegally
found. The story further states, however,
that the client couldn't keep the matter to
himself, but told other liquor dealers. So the
matter bscame known, aud, although the fact
OF Mr.. Stanwood being on the jury would not
pors bly, have vitiated its doings, still his dis
charge and the election of new foreman, with
every Thing done according to law. prevented
bringing the matter to issue.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
cALLENDER's MINsrRELs.

cALLENDER's MINsTRELs.
This company made an attractive street
parade yesterday, in their bright uniforms,
headed by the tall drum-major in the white
bearskin, and went through the evolutions
which delighted the street-crowds when the
company was here before. They also favored
the Press office with an excellent serenade.
In the evening Portland Theatre was packed
to repletion, every seat was sold and men stood
in the side ais!es and at the rear of the house
in rows three deep The performance-the
little we were able to see of twas fully up to
The standard. OF course Wallace Kings and
Lewis Browns singing was far beyond the
the average minstrel singer, while all the
seloiets pleased Billy Kersands was encored
several times. His mouth still holds its at
fractions. Armstrong; limitations and bur-
lesqus dog circus; the grand military pageant
and army Of clog dancers; Sergeant Simms'
musket drill; the dancing Zouaves the con-
solidated sextette; and, last, but not least Bob
Mack with his bantam, we're all first rate. The
sketch at the end of the programme was
capital picture of Southern lite before the war.
A pleasing feature was the arrangement of the
company in the first part; the white dresses of
the women, and the dark tropical plants in the
background, contrasting peasiDgly with the
black faces, velvet coats and white trousers
of the men in the foreground.
