Am old Time Poet.


The Transcript has the following account of
an old time poet of Portland in this weeks is
sue:
One of the familiar characters of forty or fl
ty years ago was Wilmington, the town poet,
He had knack at rhyming, which he was
forever exercising even in his every day
speech No event of any public interest passed
without bringing out ballad from Withing-
ton. These ballads were printed on broad
sides and sold by him on the streets. Many
bought them for the fun of the thing, and some
OF them have been preserved to eur day. We
have one of them before US bearing date of
more than half century ago. AS it recalls
the names of prominent politicians of those
days, and NAV not be iDapplicable to the pres
ent state of affairs, when a change in admins
tration is creating stir among expectant of.
hce-seekeis, under the cry of "refcrm," we
copy il here for the benefit of all concerned
THE GRAND "REPoRM.'
The old General could not rest till the office he
posses'd
In the Custom and to Washington he goes;
Since he got it Pre6e and Ware III political affairs
Have been leading him about by the NOSE.
There is Eben, the halter pray what is the matter!
He has got fat office they say;
He's to be tidewater, and he sought nothing great
For it nets him three dollars per day.
He has given up hating both bowling and batting
And selling off hats in the store,
it,
Since his Office will bring him in more.
There is Henry also, has on office we know
In the Custom, where he hopes to get gain
And you may plainly see what large family
or children he has got TO maintain.
There is Nathan the tailor, would make a better
sailor
For one reason; and lsyyou a wager,
That he would be more nimble, with his needle and
thinble
Than he would to be wegher and gauger.
Nathan they say has completely lost the day
For his name there was left blank space.
Though the object he has missd yet the idol he has
kss'd
For an office he was running race.
Thus Prebte and Ware throughout the affair,
Have guided as they thought it best,
So Harry, they say must be retained by the way
Of example to learn ali the rest.
The next that comes on is LenaueL and John
And Roscoe hand that is Green
And the next is Carter with whom they did bar
ter,
You may guess very well what mean.
There ia battsrs and tailors shoemakers and sailors
And merchants that have been broken down,
With blacksmith at their head, in triumph
they're led
Ana appoint ed to Office in town.

An Imnnrfnnr size.

The building owned by Mr.. David Robinson
OF Boston that was damaged by fire Tuesday
night occupied the site of the building in
which the ice business in this city was inaug-
urated. Mr.. David Robinson, the father of
the present Mr.. Robinson, began the ice busi-
ness here some sixty-fve or seventy years ago.
The first year he sent man around with a
wheelbarrow with the ice. The next year he
substituted hand.cart for the wheelbarrow,
and the third year put on cart. Mr.. Robin
son sold his business to Moses G. Dow, who re.
moved it to Silver street. Mr.. Robinson made
considerable money out of the ice business

The "geffer.oniano Newspaper.

Tothe Editor Of the Press:
In an article in Mondays PRESS taken from
the Lewiston Journal Hon. Hannibal Hsmlin
says he and Horatio King purchased the JEFF
fersonan at Paris and published it as partners,
that he set type and helped work off the paper
on an old hand press.
The Jeffersonisn was afterward removed to
Portland by Mr.. King together with the print
ing material and published by himr it had a
run for few years, and for want of patronage
was merged into some other paper and the
materials sold. The press with other articles
the writer purchased; the press was one of the
old wooden Ramage presses; such as were in
common use sixty or seventy years ago,
similar in construction to the one exhibited as
used by DR.. Franklin, built OF mahogany,
went with quick screw and required two
pulls to get an impression for the paper. The
press was in my office for time, but as new
and improved presses were invented doing bet
ter ard faster work the old press was laid aside
for time, and afterward the sold frame with
the platin of mahogany with three bolts
through it to prevent springing had altered
into q standing press which has been in use to
the present TINA.
A few weeks before the great fire OF 1866 the
pross was removed from Exchange street
where it had been for years to another part of
the city out of the way of the FIRE, other wise it
would have been destroyed.

We understand the parties who are interest
ed in the new base ball association have made
proposition to Western manager who has
accepted their terms, and also already engaged
his team, which will consist principally of
Western men, who are ball players in every
respect, and he guarantees them equal to any
outside of the League. The only matter in
connection with this affair that yet remains
unsettled is to hear from one of the owners of
the grounds, being nonresident and quite
distance away. In all probabilities we will
have plenty of base ball this season, and we
hope first class.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.



"Le Voyage en- Suisse" in which the Hanlons an
peared at Portland Theatre, is farce, by Mr.
Pettitt expressly devised for their use, and it is
rul of opportunities for the display of their min BILE
dexterity. The piece is made up of the incidents of
aJourney through Switzerland, undertaken by an
elderly individual and his young bride. The hus-
band IS made the object of humorous attacks and
annoyance by certain assailants-young fellows and
servants-personated by the Hanlons. some of the
incidents occur ON board sleeping and some at
an 1nn. one OF the prosecutors is enamored of the
bride whose lord is thus assaled. There is an air
of the pracca joke in all this but as the object of
50 much comic hostility is a rascally adyenturer,
the spectator feels no regret that sharper should
be worried and discounted. The Hanlons per-
senate car hands, custom house inspectors and in
deed, assume various disguises- entering with the
greatest vim and sincerity into their froicsome ad
venture, whereof the serious purpose is to rescue
lady from a bad marriage. 1t should be said that
the bride herr elf is not yet wite-conniyes
at their mischief All along the current of the pro-
ceedings thus indicated there are comic occur
neutrality-suspicious. delays, accidents etc.-and
amidst these The Hanlon performers are as vigiant
1ncessant, ana restless as SO many hre-hies. The
sltuatlons or the piece require rapid changes
just discrimination rs to characters and a highly
trained faculty for the exercises of the gymnasium
1t Was bright 1dea thus to apply to droil dram
atlc subject the and tricks of the circus and
pantonime and the Hanlons with thsir excellent
company Kept the audience roar from the be-
ginning 70 the END OF the piece. The play Will be
repeated tonight.
