The veterinary surgeons had their third
annual national convention in Washing.
ton this week. Some OF the members gave
rather funny accounts of how they were
received in or excluded from society on
account OF being "horse doctors.v Dr..
Peters, formerly of Richmond, said he
would advise no one to start In the veteri-
nary profession in the South, as he had
been ostracised by former friends in thai
city. DR.. Earle, of Virginia, said he was
treated coolly when he first began to prac-
tice, but finally gained the good will OF
the best people, and was Endorsed by
every doctor in his county. DR.. Digger.
Of Fannin county, Ga, was not present.
1t is suspected that the doctor does not
own a diploma.

The present year is good one for the
sugar planters of Louisiana. Some of the
plantations are Welding as much as four
hogsneads OF 900 lbs. each to the acre, and
the report from one plantation shows a
yield Of five hogeheads. When it is re-
membered that for every hogshead OF
sugar there are at least two barrels u
molasses It becomes apparent that tie

called handsome.

William Thorn.

The death of Mr.. Thorn has removed from
our community one who had many friends
among us. Mr.. Thorn was engaged in mer-
camille pursuits in New York city, and sub
sequently held responsible position in the
War Department of the government in the
office of his brother, Gen. George Thorn, U.
S. A.
Mr.. Thorn was an active and much-be-
loved member of the First Parish church.
He was also one of the most prominent
members of the Portland Fraternity, which
was indebted o him for many of its best
features. All sincere efforts for the anchor
alton of suffering and the advancement of
society had his good will and efficient sup
port.
Mr.. ThomS courteous manner could not
fail to conciliate the regard of all who met
him, but it was in his own home that his
genial nature shone brightest. He married.
in Brooklyn, N. T., Julia, daughter of the
late Admiral st. Felix of the French navy.
Mrs. Thorn survives him, also daughter.

city.

Gospel Mission.

The special services at the Mission still
continue to draw large congregations, and
it has been thoroughly demonstrated that the
new quarters are none too large. Last even
ing, after several Gospel hymns had been
sung, Rev. S. F. Pearson read Hebrews xiii
and offered prayer, and then introduced Rev.
L. III. Hallock, who said it gave him sincere
pleasure to be present and tell the people
that Mr.. Pearson and the Mission had his
personal sympathy. Coming to this city a
short time ago a stranger, it gave him plea
sure to find such work established here,
and it now gave him greater pleasure in see
ing the people face to face. He said he liked
the name Gospel Temperance Mission, .
for the Gospel enabled man to fight intem-
perance with success, and he advised all to
put their trust in the Master. His remarks
were attentively listened to.
This evening the speakers will be Rev. w.
S. Jones, presiding elder of this district and
Rev. J. w. Bashford Mrs. NJ. A. Bent and
the full quartet will lead the singing.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.


M LIDS.
AS the prototype of vast number of So
called western dramas" "M'liss" will al
ways be to the critic subject for interesting
consideration. AS in lines of manufactures
and in all efforts of skill, the imitation rarely
equals, and never excels the original, so it is
with the drama; and 'M'liss,' which was
the first, remains one of the best of its class.
As delineator of the Western character,
bothin its poetic and in its rougher phases,
Bret Harte bids fair never to have an equal.
The broad, easy flow of his humor, the full
ness and roundness of his several individual
characters, and the subtle effectiveness of
his rugged pathos have never been APP
preached by his imitators. Miss Pixley has
made name and fame as the heroine, and her
lmpersonation last evening was fully ND to
her former representations. Her company
supported her in good shape and the ap-
plause was loud and long sustained.
KATE CLAYTON.
Miss Kate Claxton and Mr.. Charles A
Stevenson will appear at Portland Theatre
this and tomorrow evenings. The cast of
Called Back" includes some excellent art
lists, among them, Mr.. A. Salvini as Macari,
the italian, and new scenes and costumes
will embellish the performance. Apart from
this, the popularity of the star insures
large house and performance full of inter
est and merit.
The New York World thus speaks of the
play when it was produced at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Theatre in that city,
"Called Back can be safely called an unusually
excellent and effective play. The production Of
the drama as it is now presented is the result of
some very radical changes and very marked i'm
provementS since it was brought out on the Lon
don stage. AS it is, it is an excellent melodrama
and promises to be as popular here as it was
abroad, where 1t had most successful run.
"Called Back" exchanges say, can safely
be pronounced one of the best, best acted
and altogether most acceptable plays that
has been put on the stage for some time past.
NOTES.
The tickets to the three operas to be given
by the Ideals are selling well. The Boston
musical critics speak in the highest terms
of the new singers to appear. The chorus
and the orchestra are recognized and in

A Fine Historical Painting.

In Stubs gallery, Congress square. on
and after today, for few days, can be seen
very fine portrait of Hon. William w.
Thomas, Jr., our late minister to the court of
Norway and Sweden. The picture is from
the brush of G. G. Hellquist, who is noted as
the historical painter of Sweden, whose
works have already placed him in the front
rank of European artists, many of them
adorning the galleries of the great capitals.
Hellquist is but about SO years old but at
this early age has established himself firmly
and, judging by the portrait of Mr.. Thomas.
with good reason. He rarely paints por-
traits but has made this an exception and.
to show the appreciation of the work held by
the king, and his esteem for the subject, per-
mitted the portrait to be exhibited to the
public in the gallery of the Royal Museum,
an exceptional honor.
1t is the custom now abroad for an artist
when commissioned to paint por-
trait to make it, in a sense, allie
gorical. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Thomas was the first minister to float
the stars and stripes from the legation in
Stockholm. TIL e portrait is very large
SeNhf"93 uhANS HudlbClo icISGH, dllU repre-
sents the late minister in full dress, standing
at the window of the legation which looks
upon the Royal Palace in the near distance,
and the Royal Park. with the statue of
Charles XIII. His attitude is easy and
graceful, one hand resting in his bosom. the
other upon his desk at his left. He is look
ing through the open window upon the Park
in the distance. Pots of flowers rest on the
broad window-sill in front of him, and behind
him the Flag of Our Country is gracefully
testooned, thus furnishing the allegory that
the man who stands before it is the repre-
sentative of free America to the court of
old Sweden whose monarch sits in yonder
palace, over whose walls floats the Swedish
banner. The portrait, and in fact the whole
picture, is painted with a broad, free brush.
The likeness is striking, and the hand is re-
markably good. All the little minutia of the
painting are well presented, and the work is
valuable not only to its possessor but to the
State at large

The 18th exhibition of the Cumberland
Farmers Club will take place next Wednes-

the fair has in every respect, in times past,
been success, it will this year try to Guido
its previous record. A more commodious
apartment has been built for the neat stock
consisting of 80 sheds, also a new flight of
stairs leading to the dining hall, so there
will not be such rush for those dinners
which the ladies of the club are so famous
