Judge Goddard delivered most interestino
lecture on Saturday afternoon at the Frs
Parish church, on the history and social, politi-
cal and ecclesiastical systems OF Turkey and
its capital. About the year 1900 Otbo-grul, chief
OF tribe of Turks, observing fight between
two tribes, waged battle with them, and, con-
quering, became the raler of three allied
tribes. This was the germ of the Turkish ma
ton, and Gilman, his son and successor, was
the founder of the Ottoman empire Turkey
occupies the center of the earth's surface. geo.
graphically, politically and CONNIE REALLY.
Constantinople, whose former name was
Byzantium, was made the capital of the Ro-
man empire in the year A. D. 800, by Constaa-
tine. 1t stands on peninsula formed by the
Golden Horn and the sea of Marmora, protect
ed on the landward side by a moat and triple
wall, pierced by q gates. extending from sea
to sea. Beautiful for situation" enthroned
upon its seven hills it bursts upon the light of
the expectant traveller like wonderful vision.
The shifting panorama of its busy streets was
wildly depicted. One could almost see the
long line of close carriages containing the
yelled sultanas OF the ssraglio, guarded by
mounted blacks, the pretty Greek ladies in
their sedans, the Samson like porters the
green clad descendants Of the prophets, the pic
mic parties drawn in wagons by oxen decked
with ribbons, aud hear among the confused
Babel of sounds the cries in Greek and Turk
ish OF the vendors of fruit and confectionery.
The Mohammedan religion has some re-
deeming traits. 1t proclaims the divine unity
and the duty of prayer, but it sauc,io polye-
amy and other fatal errors. 1t is wholly an
tsgonistc to Christianity, which it has twice
threatened to exterminate. The Greek church
denies the supremacy of the Pope, condemns
image Worship. teaches Reconsideration. and
prays for the dead. Its priests are less learned
than the Romish, and its people seem less de-
vout at worship. 1t permits the ordination of
married priests. The Greek church NAV be
degenerate, but it is a branch of the Church of
Christ, ana asserts its superiority to Moham-
mechanism. The mosque of st Sophia was for
nine centuries Christian church. 1t was ded-
icated by Justnian to Aga Sophia, the third
person of the Trinity in the year A. ID. $50. 1t
is though shaken by earthquakes and marred
by vandals, who have covered with whitewash
the rich mosaics of its interior decorations,
most magnificent temple. May we not hope
that Christians will again assemble in this
church. which has resounded with the elo-
quence OF Chrysostom, and the image of the
Savior, now dimly visible, again extend its
benedictions TO many generations of reyerent
worshippers,

Arrival of the woodhury.

The revenue steamer Woodbury. arrived in
our harbor last night from the eastward. She
reports having examined the ice at Eggemog-
gin Reach with view to breaking a chanpel
for the steamer Lewiston to enable her to land
her Deer Island passengers and freight at
SCOTS Landing, but finding it from four to
ten inches thick some four miles from that
place deemed it imprudent to make the
attempt. Teams were crossing the Reach.
The Lewiston lay at Castine Saturday night
and proceeded on Sunday morning, intending
to make landing at Green's Landing where
the ice is at present open.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE BAD BOY.

A prominent clergyman in ST. GATHERINGS,
ontario gave Peck's Bad Boy such rating
that people stayed away from the performance.
These denuncistions generally have the oppo-
site effect, Judging from the packed house
at Portland Theatre Saturday night there
might have been denunciations from all the
Portland puipits. The play is nothing but a
series of scenes from the Bad Boy papers; the
grocery, at home, the picnic, &C. Frank Dan
iels, as the Bad Boy, and Jennie Yeamans as
his chum, with their songs and dances, kept
the house in roar, and encores were frequent.
So long as managers and audience were pleas
ed it is probably all right. But it is sad
commentary on public taste when great actors
draw half houses, and such pieces crowd the
building.

cert to their Subscribers at Union Hall tonight
