lawyer bat man of experience in public al
fairs Conservative in temperament, indie
pendent in judgment, with broad and intelli-

CAMDEN, Feb. 4th, 1884.
To the Editor oft Press:
Inyour issue of the I'd, / notice the follow
ing article on new ste amship line:
The PRESS the Their day stated that Mr.. Ed
win Gushing, late general manager of the
Portland, Bangor & Machias line had plans
on hand that would soon be known. It is now
stated That company of capitalists are nego-
tlating for the fine large steamer "City of
Haiiford." of the Norwich line, which will be
pat on rouie from Boston to Rockland. Ma
chias,. Castine and Eastport. Mr.. Cushing
viii 90 general manager of this line, Cant
Deerlng, OF the Lewiston, will command the
boat, and the present pilot of the City of Rich
mond VIII be pilot, while Mr.. Holmes. now
second engineer OF the Richmond win ba
chief engineer. -
This paragraph would seem to be given in
the PRESS by my advisement. Permit me to
say, since severing my connection with the
above line, have had some plans, and pro-
pose to develop them on manly principles. L
don't intend to mislead my friends or the pub
lie in regard to them.
wish to say in regard to the above para
graph that it may be true that capitalists are
negotiating for the fine steamer City of Hart
1ord, and that she NAY be put On the route ss
inolcated; but l am not a party to it. nor ba We

have no money bags, but I have brains
enough to see that the conception of such an
enterprise is based on sound financial pripci-
Piles, and If inaugurated and handled with
good abilities, it cannot fail of success. II
capitalists see this, no suggestions from me
are needed. At proper time may have
more to say upon the subject, which will be of
interest to the public.

TO lie Edtt0T OF The Press:
Asst seems to be the order of the day to
suggest candidates for the mayoralty we beg TO
present the name of Mr. Charles Fobes, of
Burgess, Fobes & Co. We have no psnegyric
to sing as to his qualifications for the office, as
1t would be wasting powder. The question u.s.
HAS he sufficient ability for the Officer" and
Would he run well?" think both questions
could be answered in the affirmative. He
would make good Citizens candidate, and
iasnre great many votes at the polls from the

in this community every year. Give us good,

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
SONGS OF TEE REsELLIoN

Mr.. A. M. Sawyer has conceived a good
thing in his Songs of the Rebellion" which
was produced by Bosworth Post at City Hall
last evening, and in many respects the piece IS
very pleasing What 1t lacks is action. There
Is too much standing round on the part OF
the members OF the dramatic persona waiting
for the songs and choruses, and. some OF these
songs and choruses are pretty long. Such dia-
logue as ethere Is too much in the nature OF
cues for the music. With these exceptions
Songs of the Rebellion" is very attractive.
The various war airs, SO familiar to all, which
tired the patriotic heart twenty years ago. are
given with great effect by the Weber Club of
twenty voices, led by Mr.. John Morgan, and q
picked chorus of one hundred voices taken
from the members and friends of the Post, ac-
companied by Chambers orchestra of ten
pieces. Last night, as was natural on first
public presentation, there was little hesitsn-
cy on the part of the choruses in responding
promptly to their cues, but that will be obviat-
ell with second performance The solos by
Mrs. Alice earle Seaver were warmly receive
ed and created much enthusiasm. The new
scenery was very pretty, all of the tableaux
and some Of them very beautiful. The use of
the colored electric lights in place of the lyco-
podium, for illuminating the tableaux, was a
happy device, and the audience was spared the
usual sitting odors. The various bugle calls,
the drills, the comedy element introduced by
the contrabands were all excellent, and that
the piece will enjoy great deal of popularity
We have no doubt.
NOTES.
"a Hot Night on the Roof" is the title of a
new farcical and musical comedy, in three acts
by j.. g. Willett, which Gus Williams will
possibly produce next season. George W. June
is the proprietor OF the piece.
Mr.. Frank Mayo will produce at Havery' s
Theatre, Chicago, on May 26, his new play,
"Nordeck." The scenery will be all new, the
costumes historically correct and the cast the
best that he can obtain.
Princess Ida at the Boston Museum on
Monday next, and "a Trip to Africa" at the
Bijou the week after, promise enough of nov.
city for the musical theatre-goers in the near
future. Both works are cast in splendid man
ner.
Mr.. Henry E. Abbey is reported to have
made an engagement with Sarah Bernhardt
for tour of the principal cities of the United
States. The engagement covers 100 nights
Nine, Bernhardt furnishing ner own company
and receiving $1,000 night, with all costs Of
transportation.

somewhat singular fact is that the events
connected with the closing hours of Mrs. Bar
rows trial form an ex 'ct parallel with the
case of James NJ Lowell, who was tried for
wife murder in Auburn in 1874. In his case
the judges charge occupied about an hour and
half in delivery. Judge Virgins charge
consumed about an hour and a half In
Lowell's case the jury retired at 6.35. The
jury retired in Mrs. Barrows' case OF 6.35. In
LowelPs case the jury had agreed at 1o20p.
m. In Mrs. Barrows' case the jury agreed
upon q verdict at 1920. In both cases the
verdict brought in was equity in the first
degree" Lowell heard the verdict unmoyed.
Mrs. Barrows likewise heard the verdict un
moved. The similarity in the two cases is GER
tainly remarkable.
Thanks of the newspaper men present at
this trial are due to the officers of the court
for their courteous and constant attention. The
clerk of the court, Mr.. Hewey, has repeatedly
given them interesting items of news, while
the sheriff and his polite deputies, have seen
that their convenience should be strictly at
tended to.
The enterprise of the Biddeford papers has
afforded occasion for much favorable com.
ment. The Journal has been pre-eminent in
this line, publishing engravings of the Bar
rows house and neighborhood, and also like
ness of Blaney during the progress of the trial.
Every day it has had large amount of matter
on the case, and its large sales in the two
cities have evidenced the appreciation by the
citizens OF their 9nterprige.
