Postmaster Goddard of Portland is still
here and has with him q mammoth petition.
He is preparing his defence of charges against
him BY special post Office agent and has
been promised another hearing. Postmaster
Gresham is quoted as saying he cannot rec
ommend the re- appointment of Goddard. If
Goddard is appointed, therefore. the Pres-
gent will have to make the nomination with
out the concurrence of the postmaster gen.
eral. Goddards friends expressed themselves
with some confidence of his success and in
the event of their failure, predict serious Do
litical consequences to those who have OBJ
posed them.

Child Life inLnnnn.

Saturday afternoon Professor Morse gave an
exceedingly interesting lecture at the First
Parish Church, on child-li:e in Japan. He
said:
Any one visiting Japan will notice at once
the difference between the treatment of chill
dren there and at home. In Japan there is
scarcely any restraint; the children are treated
as something almost sacred, and are allowed to
do pretty much as they please. One rarely
sees them quarrel or hears them cry; their
young lives are spent in continued round of
sport and peace.
Professor Morse drew upon the blackboard
the various methods Of clothing the young and
OF dressing their hair, and then explained
some of their games and described many of
their toys. He noticed that they have many
amusementS common in our own land, such as
creep mouse, creep mouse, into baby's cuddy
house" In Japan, however, it is ''creep fox"
instead of mouse. They also come up behind
you, cover your eyes with their hands and
ask you to guess who is binding you. ''Sim-
on says thumbs up" is played there, or game
very similar; they also have the counterpart to
Peter Piper picked peck Of picked pep
pers, etc.
Battledore and shuttlecock is great game
with them as we'll as kite flying. Games have
their seasons IN Japan, beginning and ending
with a regularity we know nothing about
Cats cradle is played as with us, but thew
have more transformations than we have.
and they have another game with the same
same string used in cats cradle; thus, they
throw one loop over one child's ear and the
ether over aDothefs ear; the two children
then pull and the one who can pull the hard
est, or we should say, the one Hwho can en-
dure the most pain is victor.
The children and all the people of Japan
are uniformly careful with beautiful objects
The practice of malicious injury and deface-
mept SO common with our boys is unknown
there. The most delicate work of art may be
left exposed for years and it will not be
troubled.
Yet though SO mild and gentle the Japanese
make fierce soldiers and their fremen fight
the flames with great daring.
Professor Morse was listened to by the chill
dren with marked attention from first to last.
Tonight he will speak to the public generally
at the First Parish Church, on China.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A CELEBRATED CASE.


II ths Museum Company had PLAYED "a
Celebrated Case" Friday night they would
have done wisely With it they created a
furore Saturday The large and intelligent
audience was more than usually enthusiastic.
The play was admirably cast aud as admirably
acted. Mr.. Barron was-gsry strong as Jean
Remand and, in the convict scene, and tia in
which he derounces the false Count de Nor
ny mor5 than sustained his reputation as an
artist of great merit. Mr.. Meery fairly sur
prised his auditors. His impersonation OF the
count was revelation. His bearing, man
ner, costuming, all carried with them the at
mosphere OF the court of Louis, while his rep
resentation was marked by both delicacy and
force. Miss Annie Clarke was especially good
as Adrienne but Miss Robins was charming as
Valeptine. We have not seen in long while
mere agreeable actress, or one eyincing
more talent than this latter lady. Mr. Barron
and Miss Clark, Mr.. Merry and Miss Robins.
were all called before the curtain during the
| course OF the evening. OF Mrs. Vincent, who
| is always delight, it may be said she was
| most warmly received, and constantly an.
| plauded. Mr.. Nolan and Mr.. Burrowes both
added greatly to the success of the occasion as
the Sergeant and the Duke d'Aubeterre re-
eptctlF6ly. Mr. Wnytal was q manly and

Mr.. Fred kelsey is the latest addition to the
Portland club and is the youngest and light
est member. His playing is characterized by
quick movements aud good judgment aud he
has already won many good pon's for the
club.
The Bowdoin club has one-armed member
Mr.. VIM. Cornish. whose playing oatdoes
many who have two good arms.
The Advertiser of Friday contained a most
absurd statement in regard to the game OF DO
10. 1t says it gives the surgeons more work
than base ball and game is seldom PLAYED
without some bad bruises and broken fingers.
1t also says that Capt. Orne of the Portland
club recently played game of 45 minutes dur
alton, with two broken fingers. There is not
the semblance of truth to this as neither Capt.
Orne nor any member of the Portland club
have broken finger or had any occasion for
surgeons services. The ball used is yerv
light and does not enter the players hands at
all. There is no more danger to players or
spectators than in any ball game and certainly
not near as much as In base ball.
The next game in the tournament will be
played at Biddeford this evening between The

The storm which commenced Friday night
was more trying to the railroads than any thus
far experienced the past winter.
The Maine Central trains were very much
delayed by snow. The Skowhegan branch was
much behind time and the noon train from
Bangor was snow-bound at Leeds and did not
arrive here until 9 p. m. The train on the
Pennington branch was just starting from
North Jay for Pennington at 1 30 p. m. yester-
day with three engines and a snow-plow. Yes
terday the main line to Bangor was opened
and, 1T high winds did not spring up, no trouble
was anticipated to-day.
On the Eastern and Boston and Maine roads
Saturday, the trains at noon were about an
horu late, but the evening trains made good
time. The roads were clear yesterday. On
many of the roads several of the freight trains
were cancelled.
The Ogdensburg had tough time The
company's wires were not affected by the
storm. The snow was very deep in the Notch
and the trains due at 10 p. m. Saturday, did
not get in until go a. m. Sunday. The pillow
was kept running yesterday and the track was
clear.
On the Grand Trunk the passenger trains
were not much delayed, but the freights did
not get in Saturday. Yesterday they arrived at
night and the road will be in good condition
to-day probably.
The Rochester road was not much troubled.
The horse'cars had hard work to move
through the streets, and the horses hardly got
out of q walk.
