MUsEC AND RRAMA.

When Hazlitt first saw Edmund Kean in
Richard, /" he thought his delineation should
have more depth, solidity, sustained and i'm
passioned feeling, and such has been the opin-
ion of come critics IN regard to 7. w Keene,
who essays the character Tuesday night at
Portland Theatre. But Keene displays great
deal of ircnic humor in the scene with Anne,
dignity in the scenes of state, by-play and
facial expression, and much of the light and
shade of character that Hazlitt first condemn
ed in Edmund Kean.sa But Kean was &C..
knowled to be great actor by the world, and
7. W. Keene may eventually take equal posi-
ton on the American stage. His "Othello,"
which he has never presented in this city, will
be q matter Of great curiosity to theatre-goers
tonight.

At meeting of the managers of the Port
land Fraternity, held on Friday, the 18th inst,
the question came up as to what can be done
for large class of boys in the lower walks of
life (who are outside of the present institutions)
to provide them with some suitable place
where they can be comfortable these winter
evenings, and be under good influences. 1t
was thought there were many who we're not
reached BY the Fraternity or the Young Mems
Christian Association. After full discussion a
committee from the directors, consisting of
Rev Henry Blanchard, Hon. w. w. Thomas,
and j. P. Baxter, Esq, was appointed to con-
sider the subject aud report at the next meet

Aquatic.

A sporting paper of New York, speaking of
the Teemer-Conley race, says that Conley is q
man that half dozen oarsmen can defeat.
The Boston Globe says sit would puzzle the
writer of the article in question to name six
scullers, either in America or abroad, capable
OF giving the Portland oarsman their back
wash. Boated as we'll as are the majority of
the first-class scullers of America, Conley, for
any distance from three to five miles, can hur-
ry the speediest of them, not barring Hanlan
himself. Teemer defeated Hamm and Conley
at Pittsburg, but any one convorsant with
aquatics thai witnessed the final heat of last
September6 regatta a: Hulton knows how it
was done. Give it to reemer if you must but
spare Conley. He is his peer as a sculler.'

ABYssINIAN CHURCH


At the Fourth Abyssinan Church, Rev
Mr.. Wilson preached yesterday from Neb. 2: 5.
Attention was called to the secret of Nehera-
ish's success. He was engaged in the Lords
work: was earnest, and powerful aud thus
obtained 'his request by Gods help. Arrived
at Jerusalem, he laid the work before the peo-
pie and prayed as though all depend I'd upon God
and worked assthough it all depended on him.
The preacher remarked that looking back
some four years, we can SEQ that homes have
been made happy by the changed life of some.
others have been qnickened in the christian
life, and many have become interested in the
Sabbath Service.
The pastor and ladies of this society have
shown the spirit OF Nehemiah In their faithful
labors for this people, and the long cherished
purpose OF carpeting and cushioning the
church has been accomplished.

CONCORD, n. H., May 81.
The forty-third annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Concord Railroad was called
to order by Pres. Frederick Smythe. of Man
chester, at Ills A. NJ. The call for a
gathering was read by Clerk James ii. Fell
lows. of Manchester. The report of the board
of directors was accepted and placed on file.
John NJ Mitchell, of Concord, offered a
protest against the right of Henry c. Sher-
burne and George E, Todd of Concord, and
Alvah w. Sulloway OF Franklin TO vote on
4la9 shares of Concord Railway stock. which
is really owned by the Northern Railway. on
the ground that persons who are directors in
other corporations .annot legally be chosen
TO the directory of the Concord road. although
an effort will be made today To elect Samuel
\. Bell. of Manchester, and III. Sherburne, of
Concord, who are respectively directors of
the Boston & Concord and the Montreal &
Northern lines. President Smythe said that
the protest would be received. Hon. W. l..
Foster stated that Unexpectedly temporary
injunction had been issued by one of the
judges of the Supreme Court, against the
right of certain parties to vote on some 42oo
shares of stock of the Concord Railway. which
has been served since this meeting assem-
bled. In order to afford all parties a right to
be heard fully upon this question, he moved
that the meeting adjourn until the first We'd
nesday in June,
A discussion on restoring the power Of the
injunction followed
Fosters motion was then rejected and the
meeting proceeded TO ballot for seven direct
ors.
The following directors were elected: Fred
erick Smythe, Manchester; Jas. w. johnson,
Enfield; John A. White, John II. Pearson,

Attorney ker Thinks the Failure to

In the investigation before the Springer

ued, characterized the failure to indict Kel
logg as a mystery. He told of Bliss opposi-
ton to finding an indictment against Kellogg
and Merricks determination that an indict-
ment should not be found. This dispute led
to rupture which was referred to the attor-
ney general, who stated that he didn't want
politics considered in the prosecution of the
case.
Prince to Kellogg, and of Kellogg's state
ment that he used the sum for political pur.
poses in Louisiana. Ker continued as fol-
lows: Kellogg has gone to a newspaper cor
respondent and said he would take a shotgun
and blow my damned brains out. All have
got to say is for Kellogg to let me know
when he is coming, and / will be ready for
him.
