Lecture on Music.

The teachers in the public schools assem-
bled in Reception Hall last evening to listen
to lecture ON the methods Of musical in
struction by Prof III. e. Holt of Boston.
The speaker devoted the most Of his time
to giving practical illustration Of the prin-
ciples Of objective teaching, as applied to
music. He showed conclusively that music
can be as successfully taught as any other Of
the many studies in the common schools.
And it was quite clearly demonstrated that
the result obtained by even young children,
when properly taught, is truly wonderful.
The interest and enthusiasm displayed by
the teachers in their efforts to acquire a
knowledge of the best methods for imparting
musical instruction promises well for the
future proficiency of the children in the pub
lie schools. In other words the teachers dis
played their usual zeal and determination to
be prepared to do the best work that can be
done.

weather Signals.

As there has been good deal of inquiry
lately as to the meaning of the various
weather signal flags, and, although num-
Der of weather cards have been circulated
by the signal bureau, we republish the sig
nals,. follows:
No. 1, white flag, indicates clear or fair
weather. No. 2, blue flag, indicates rain or
snow. No. 3, black, triangular flag, always
refers to temperature. When placed above
Nos. ! or it indicates colder weather
when not displayed, the indications are that
the temperature will remain stationary, or
that the change in temperature will remain
stationary, or that the change in tempera-
ture will not vary five degrees from the tenn
perature of the same hour of the preceding
day. No. 4, white flag with black square in
center. indicates the approach of a sudden
and decided fall in temperature. This signal
is usually ordered at least "a hours in adj
vance of the cold wave. 1t is not displayed
unless a temperature Of 40 degrees, or less,
is expected.
A red flag with black center indicates
that the storm is expected to be of marked
violence. A yellow flag with a white center
indicates that the winds expected will not be
so severe, but well-found, seaworthy vessels
can meet them without danger. The red pen
nant indicates easterly winds; that is, from
the northeast to south inclusive, and that
generally the st0rm-center is approaching.
Ii above cautionary or storm signal, winds
from northeast quadrant are more probable;
below, winds from southeast quadrant. The
white pennant indicates westerly winds;
that is, from north to southwest inclusive,
and that generally the storm-center has
passed. If above cautionary or storm sig
nal, winds from northwest quadrant are
more probable; if below. winds are from
southwest quadrant.
By night red light will indicate easterly
winds and a white light above a red light
will indicate westerly Winds

The All Night Dance In Which sold
Virginia Never Tires"

A writerin the American Magazine gives
avery fictitious description of dancing
party in the sparsely settled portion Of Vir-
ginia.
Ihese parties are events of great Import
ance, drawing friends and acquaintance for
many miles around. They will come per-
maps from distant counties, days journey
or more, to participate in the festivities.
The method of travel is ION horseback,
and as the roads are bad and frequently
bridgeless, the journey must be accomplished
between "sun up" and dark. This would be
sufficient reason, If there were no other, for
keeping up their merry-making the entire
night, as is their universal custom.
Old and young join in the dancing. which
is only suspended for the hearty supper at
midnight, and the ''sweet supper" as 1t Is
called, of cakes, jellies, and tarts, which Is
furnished just before daybreak.
AS the sun rises the visitors mount their
horses and start ON their homeward journey,
perhaps of many hours duration. 1t seems
like paying severe penalty for few hours
enjoyment. but these tough, hardy settlers
do not wilt physically as easily as our mod
ern, hot house society plants.
In the log-cabin days of the early settlers
in the northern states, the all-night dance
was common failure of social life, and old
and young, for miles around, were partici-
pants. They were hardy race, perhaps be-
cause they enjoyed themselves, took plenty
of exercise and but little medicine. They
enjoyed rugged old age, because they
found medicine for their simple ailments in
natures remedies, the roots and herbs Of
nearby fields and forests. which cured them,
and left no after i'll effects.
The people of to-day might be more rug
ged and enjoy life better If they would have
recourse to natures remedies, instead of
mineral drugs. With a purpose of giving
them chance to try this course, III. I'll.
Warner q Co., proprietors of Warmers Safe
Cure have had prepared, from the best re-
cipes, used in real log cabin days, line OF
remedies known as Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, comprising Sarsaparilla Hops
and Buchu Remedy, Cough and Consump-
ton Remedy, an Extract for External and
Internal use, Liver Pills, Rose Cream for
catarrh, Scalpine for Head and Hair and a
porous Plaster. They are all vegetable
compounds, harmless, and just such rene

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
W. J. FLORENCE.

Last evening Mr.. w. j. Florence appeared
at Portland Theatre in the double bill OF
Husband Hunting" aad 'Dombey
Som" 1t is four years since Mr.. Florence
last appeared in Portland. and then he was
unaccompanied by Mrs. Florence, who is
fully as strong drawing card as the we'll
known comedian himself. In fact, Mr..
Florence without his wife is Without
great deal of the interest that attaches to his
performances, notwithstanding his great
merit as an actor. This is doubtless owing
In great degree to the reputation they had
made in the Mighty Dollar" as Hon. Bard
well Slote and Mrs. General Giliiory
The comic trife entitled Husband Hum
ing" is a condensation of "a Million"
brought out in Chicago in 1879. 1t is a farce
now, in one act. exceedingly bright and en-
pertaining. Mr.. Florence's personation of
theProfessor is a charming characterization.
1t is far more refined than we should expect
from low comedian, and its dialect is care
fully reproduced in a most original and
amusing way by the actor. Mrs. Stella Bon
iface plays the Irish widow fairly.
OF course it is as Captain Cutie that thu
greatest abilities of Mr.. Florence ale shown.
There is no member of the profession that
today, can begin to compare with him in the
part. The old sea-d0g, so gruff, and yet
with such tender heart beneath his rough
exterior, is delineated with the truest humor
and pathos. The audience laughs and weeps
by turns. Once seen Mr. Florence's Capt
Cutie is not to be forgotten.
The support Mr.. Florence received was of
the highest order. Mr.. Carker was suffic-
lently villalnous as pers0nated by Mr. Pier
son; Mr.. Weaver was ''des fish sly" Joe
Bagst0ck and an acceptable Jack Bunsby;
Miss Bonsface was good Edith Granger
and Miss Lane a pretty Florence.

GILMoRE's BAND.
Speaking of this celebrated musical organ
ization, which will give two concerts in City
Hall next Saturday, the Boston Herald says:
'.Mr. p. S. Gilmore probably INDUCES in the
idea that his home is In New York City, but
Boston will continue to claim him, despite
his temporary residence in the metropolis,
and future generations will know him as
p. S. Gilmore, of Boston, who once lived in
New York 1t is difficult to add to what
has already been said about this great mill
tary band, as the merits of this organization
and its corps of soloists have been admitted
the world over. 1t is, all in all, the finest
combination of instrumental players of thi,
class known, and its performances ha be-
