Cables Readings.

George W. Gable, who will appear in the
Stockbridge course Wednesday evening, is
the great literary sensation of the day. The
Century says:
mr. George w. Cables recent readings in
Boston have excited much enthusiasm, and
are, according to the Boston papers, a distinll-
guished success. On the evening of the 4th
inst he read number of extracts from as
yet unpublished chapters Of his new novel,
The Boston Advertiser says of them: 1t is
impossible to Judge from such ercespte con
quence of the entire novel; but of the gen.
eral freshness and brilliancy of the style, Of
the uniqueness of the diction, of the writer
felicitous originality in description, the album
dance of his humor, and the increased refine
ment of his observation of men and things,
no listener could have been left in doubt.
The views of nature made some of the pages
worth framing as landscapes, and every now
and then it was possible to recognize touch
even greater than that felt in "The Grand
issimes, "-as, for example, where the wren
in the spring was depicted singing as if
every bone in his body were golden flute "

plaintiff by the alleged negligence OF the serN ants

The plaintiff was passenger on the steamboat

the steamer for Long Island. The new double

her berth alongside of the Gordon's ran into the

The Naughty Boys at tho Matinee

A correspondent from the Fraternity Pri-
mary objects to the imputation in the PRESS
criticism, on the Mikado performance of
Saturday afternoon that any of the boys Of
that institution misbehaved. He says they
were in charge of attendants who looked af-
ter them, and that their general good con-
duct was remarked upon by people in their
vicinity, and also by Mr.. Stockbridge. We
are very glad to hear it. 1t has also been
suggested that the bad behaved ones were
boys who didn't belong to any of the institu-
tons, but who bought their own tickets. In
that case the management should have had a
policeman present to keep order. The fact
remains, as stated in the PRESS, that there
was considerable disorder which annoyed
the audience, who had a right to be pro-
tectpd

The Artesian well.

The Messrs. Foster finished their artesian
well in connection with their dye house
works on Saturday, and secured practically
flowing well. 1t is six inches in diameter,
and 40 feet Deep After passing through
the strata of crystal quartz they struck gran
lite. The full capacity of the well is not
known, for with pump drawing 1000 gal
Ions an hour, they could only lower the wa
ter four feet below the reservoir into which
there is natural flow of upwards of 4,oOC
gallons day. By pumping, the supply is
inexhaustible The water is singularly
white and pure, and has an appearance very
much like our best mineral water.

Great SIX Sale.


1t is a matter of unusual interest and inn
portance to the ladies of Portland and vi
cinity, that they should attend the special
sale of dress silks now in progress at the
store of Eastman Bros. & Bancroft. The
well-known fact that all silk fabrics have
advanced about 20 per cent in the foreign
market, makes it certain that correspond
ing rise must occur here. Indeed the very
goods now being sold at such wonderfully
low prices cannot be replaced by the same
money. The present advance of raw silk
in the foreign market is undoubtedly a
permanent thing, and it is doubtful if dress
silks can be bought again, for long time at
least, at the present low prices. One promi-
nent New York importer says that the pres
ent retail prices of dress silks are in many
cases fully 10 per cent. less than the same
goods can be imported today. Certain it is
that the present prices are very low, and ev-
cry lady should avail herself of this oppor-
tunity to secure a bargain. The sale is to
continue throughout this week.
