Mrs. Langtry has one thing not COM
mon here among women, whether
beautiful or plain. That is a sweet
molodious voice, lovely intonation,
and speech low and soft, but clear as
crystal. Her manner of utterance has
few of the pecuIiarities which our imi-
tators of English form think Unnecessary
to affect 1t is easy, musical and ma
tural, and her pronunciation is delight
ful. 1t would not be possible for us,
we regret TO say, to assert the same
things with truth of the voice and
speech of the greater number of beauti-
flu American women. And yet there
in consists one of the most delightful
and most winning of feminine charms
IA charm so great, so essential even,
that otherwise perfect womanly lowell
ness is ineXpressibly mared by the lack
of it.-NeU York Sun.

sIoNAL EXPERIENCE.
Few things give more pain than dread
or apprehension. Most people are able to
face apparent danger heroicaly, but the
sudden and unexpected coming Of some
indefinite calamity very naturally strikes
terror to even the bravest. For this rea-
son lightning and tornadoes are considered
terrible; their coming aud going are so
sudden, unannounced aud unknown. For
TINS same reason an unknown disease
some poison in the blood, some malady
that is gradually undermining the life is
specially dreaded by all thinking people.
And indeed, there are good reasons for
such dread, for modern science has dis
covered that some virulent disorders show
the least signs in their beginnings, while
they have the worst possible symptoms.
We know of many persons who have dull
and uncertain pains in various portions OF
the body; who are unnaturally tired one
day and apparently we'll the next; who
have an enormous appetite at times and n
loathng Of food soon thereafter. Such
persons are really in dangerous cond-
ton, even though they may not realize 1t.

merit physician, who has had unusual OPP
portunities for investigation is Of so strik

MR.. BLAINE.
Hard at Work on His New Book.

Washington despatch says that Mr..
Blaine expects to go TO Maine for the summer
in few days. He has beeen leading very
quiet life this ring He ages in appearance,
though those nearest him say that his health
is excellent. Every pleasant afternoon Mr..
Blaine rides with his wife in an old family
carryall, but he is not seen much in the more
crowded thoroughfares. He likes TO drive out
into the country, and his carriage is frequently
seen in the wooded roads of the park OF the
Soldiers Home. Blaine's friends say that he
has lost all political ambition. He takes a
passing interest only in events, makes fun OF
Arthur's administration, and says that only
accident can prevent Democr success In
1884. Blaine thinks that none of those now
prominently named as possible candidates
will be nominated by the Democrats, but looks
for repetition of the circumstances that led
to the nomination of Franklin Pierce In 1902.
He regards the chances as decidedly In favor
OF the nomination of some man who, ike
Pierce, was hardly known before.
IL is with his venture into literature mat
Mr.. Blaine has mostly occupied his mind this
spring He has a literary workshop that IL as
suggestive and delightful as money can make
it. His library Is on the second floor Here,
after he has breakfasted, he repairs and
plunges into his work. Occasional visits to
the Congressional library furnish him with
much of the data that he requires for his
work, and this is supplemented by cores
pondence, by his own letters and private rec
ords, and, more than all, by q memory that
seems to able TO recall all the events OF his
twenty years of public life AS though they
We're all crowded into yesterday. 1t Is not
MIR. Blaines intention to make the work in
any sense a series of personal "reminiscences,
bet briefly to describe, as historian, the i'm
portant public events of the past twenty years.
There is good deal OF curiosity already to
get hints of how he is doing IL; but he keeps
his own counsel, and asks advice and hints OF
no one. He spends five or six hours daily on
this work, only quitting his desk in time TO
take his afternoon drive He expects to finish
the work early in the winter

To the Editor Of the Press,
Some weeks ago an article appeared in the
PRESS suggesting the propriety of stopping the
horse cars a moment sn Congress street oppo-
site North. 1t was my intention to follow that
article with some words commendatory of the
idea il set forth, but finding, as l supposed, a
manifest Improvement in the conduct of the
drivers | presumed that further effort was
unnecessary. However, an incident occurred
this afternoon which confirms the truthfuluess
of the former article. A lady with a little
child was hurrying along North street TO be at
the junction of Congress in time TO take the
car. She had got within a few rods Of the
street when the car appeared, and not wishing
to make q public exhibition of herself by
bawling on the street, she watched the driver
expecting TO catch his eye, but with calm indif-
ference TO all pedestrians he turned his back on
North street andsgazsd intently In he opposite
direction and passed by leaving the painting
lady and her babe to rest in the street for about
eight minutes
Now, sir, one second of a stop, and one look
up North street, would have given satistact on
to that lady and would have left the impress
sion on her mind, however erroneous, that the
Portland Horse Railroad Company ran cars for
the ommodaton Of the public.

School Committee.

A special meeting was held at p. m. yester-
day, Mayor Dsering in the chair.
Absent, Messrs. Brewer, Fox and Holden.
The object of the meeting was explained.
1t was held for the purpose of deciding upon
the arrangements for examination Of pupils at
the end of this school year.
Superintendent fash. explained what the
custom had been in the past in regard to the
matter.
The Mayor thought this was matter Of
great importance and the full board should be
present to decide upon it.
Mr. Briggs said it had been customary to
promote pupils to the High School who had
attained a rank Of 70 per cent. and he thought
they should be entitled to such promotion
without being marched down to the High
School building and going through crucial
examination under conditions that to many
were very unfavorable and calculated to do
them injustice.
Col. Merrill and His Honor agreed with Mr..
Briggs.
Mr.. Bradley took similar view with the
others except he thought the usual five exam
nations should be held none of them should
be dispensed with. He also thought the COM
mittee should not give up their control over
these examinations.
Mr.. Merrill thought with Mr.. Bradley that
the committee should not divorce itself from
the examinations, but he thought the teachers
of the schools could prepare the examination
papers.
Mr. Bradley thought Superintendent fash
should conform to the custom of preparing the
napers for the first classes and the principals
of the various schools those for the other
classes
The following votes were then unanimously
passed:
Voted, That the final examinations in the
Grammar and Primarykschools be held In the
class-rooms of the several schools.
Voted, That the examination papers for the
first classes in the Grammar and Primary
schools, be prepared by the Superintendent OF
Schools, under the supervision OF the commit
tee, and that the principals OF the Grammar
schools prepare the examination papers Tor the
other classes under the supervision of the Sn-
perintepdept Papers shall be marked by the
teachers under the general supervision OF the
Superintendent of Schools, and the result OF
such examinations shall be averaged with the
other examinations of the year, and promotions
be made on such average.
Voted, That the Superintendent be directed
TO prepare and issue the usual directions to
teachers in accordance with the above votes
Tt was voted the annual examination Of
teachers for the public schools be held July I'd
and Sd.
DIR. Files reported from the committee on ex-
animation OF teachers, and it was voted to
grant first class certificates to Misses Clifford,
Dow and Shaw, and second class certificate
to Miss Mckenzie.
