MUSIC AND DRAMA.
aILMoRE's BAND.


Two splendid concerts were given by this
famous organization at City Hall Saturday
afternoon and evening. There was good
audience present at the matinee and packed
house at night. OF the various numbers
played by the band it is only necessary TO
say that their precise playing, wonderful ex-
actness and perfect time, delighted all and
surprised those who had never heard them.
While such selections as the overture to
civilian TELL" the "Huguenots," the first
march from "Tannhauser," and the "Semi-
ramide" overture delighted the more musical,
the general public were captured by such
numbers as the "Echoes from the Old South"
Gilmore was the same old Gilmore, adept,
precise, full of the old time dash. Miss Fritch
proved herself very attractive soloist, with
The band soloists were all that could be
asked for and they were encored again and
again. Next time we hope to have the band
under warmer weather auspices.
JOAN OF ARC.
The Philadelphia Times says: "The re-
markable success of Miss Maude Banks dur
ing her first year upon the stage is nothing
less than phenomenal. Illustrious parent
age, high social standing kindly criticism
and careful management are but trivial fac
tors compared with the natural talent-the
divine spark of genius-with which this
beautiful girl is surely endowed. General
Banks may well be proud of his gifted daugh-
ter, and those who witness her earlier per-
formances will tell of it proudly ten years
hence" Miss Banks will play Joan in the
great spectacular production of Joan of
Arc at Portland Theatre tonight and will
be supported by an excellent company.
BEwITcHED.
Theatre goers from Prince Edward Island
to Southern California know that there is
but one Sol Smith Russell. 1t would be un-
fair to say that bis face is his fortune, al
though Mr.. Russell has but to look his audi
ence square in the eye to excite roar. he
will appear in his new play, "Bewitched," at
City Hall tonight, and tickets should be Sc
cured at Stockbridge's. This performance is
in the Stockbridge popular course.
BoUCIcAULT.
The Boucicault Company, with Mr.. Dion
Boucicault and Miss Thorndyke III the cast,
will be at Portland Theatre next Friday and
Saturday evenings and will present Mr.. Bou-
cicault's new drama, "The Fortunes of Myles
O'Hara, or the JiIt," on Friday evening, and

day at the box office.

min act The prayamen of the plaintiffs com.
nlaint is that the defendants, during SeveraI OF
he civ wears next preceding the date OF the writ,
maIicjo,siy drew off the water through their dam
and thereby let his ice which formed on the mill
nond down on the mud and destroyed II.
The case presents an ancient mill dam, though
the mill on the dam has been idle for the past nine
wears with three or more ancient mills below on
fhe same stream, one of which belongs to two of
the owners of the dam; all OF them operated by
water vented through the dam and coursing along
the natural channel and the plaintiff land flowed
by the dam covered with ice In the winter season,
which the plaintiff has more or less frequently
harvested.
So long as the dam rightfully stands, it is the
bounden duty Of its owners TO vent the water
thereof for the use of the mill owners below so
that each shall have the natural flow of the stream
except so far as that flow is modified by the rea-
sonable use of the water by the successive ripa-
rian proprietors. The jury have found that the
defendants were guilty of no malicious intent,
since they only vented such water as had been
done for the long series of years during which the
mills have existed II the defendants had let less
water from their dam they would have been liable
to the lower mill owners for the in
jury caused by unlawful detention. We think,
therefore, that the instruction was not prejudicial
to the plaintiff, and that the verdict is neither
against law nor the evidence. Stevens VS.. Kelley,

a coodIdea.

Saturday as two boys, each about 10 years
of age, were digging tunnel through a
snow drift, the snow fell upon one of the
boys and completely covered him His COM
panion, becoming frightened, ran to his
mother and told her in very excited man
ner what had happened She told him to
run to the unfortunate boys aunt and tell
her of the accident. The aunt lived at quite
distance but the frightened boy made all
haste to reach her house. All this time the
other boy lay buried in the snow. The good
aunt's house was at last arrived at, and she,
in great excitement, babe the boy run to the
apothecary for medicine for the poor little
fellow under the snow. This he did, and
then fastened with it to the scene of the dis
aster. Upon arriving he found that a
neighbor had happened to think that it
would be good idea to dig his companion
out of the snow, and with shovel in hand
had proceeded to the spot and rescued the
poor unfortunate. A prominent Free street
physician was called and found his patient
bleeding at the nose, badly chilled and
suffocated. Three honrs were required to
restore the boy, who is now doing finely.

RescrSpt by Haskell, 1.-THE issue raised by the
peadings is whether the defendant individually
promised TO pay the plaintiffs claim
The verdict finds promise by the defendants
intestate and the evidence supports the verdict
and not the declaration.
The cause has been fully tried as though the
promise laid was by the defendants intestate.
We think the evidence sustains the verdict and
that substantial justice does not require new
trial.
We therefore advise the court below to grant
suitable amendments of the writ TO sustain the
verdict, neither party to recover costs. Doherty

The Evils of Destiny.

The three evils of destiny is the
general term given by an inhabitant
of the Greek islands to express the
three important events of life-birth,
marriage and death; and in consider
ing the folklore concerning these
points, we see how amongst these re-
mote islands have survived the super
stitions of antiquity. Three old wom-
en- who live up in the mountains, who
are always spinning, whose decree is
unalterable except on rare occasions,
are supposed to preside over these
three events; they are called as Of old
the Fates, and a discontinued Greek,
when cursing his ill-luck, will tell you
how he considers it a misfortune ia
have been born, greater one to have
been married, and the greatest of all
TO have TO die. - Scottish RevicW.

How They Produce Exquisite Bangles Of
the Choicest Designs.

How they Produce Exquisite bangles Of
the Choicest Designs.
One of my companions, having
made bargain with the smith, hand
ed him three English florins which he
desired to have manufactured into one
bangle of the choicest East Indian de-
sign and workmanship. The coolie
man heated the coins cut them into
narrow pieces of which he welded the
ends together, using hammer and
anvil thus making bar of four or
five inches long, and as remember,
two or three lines in width and thick
ness. Covering one end of his strip
of metal with damp clay, to protect
his fingers from the heat, the bangle
maker stuck the silver into the dimin-
utive charcoal fire, which he set aglow
by blowing through II tube similar in
appearance to glass blowers pipe.
When the metal was at dull red he at
he beat it soundly, forging it round
and smooth TO the diameter of tele-
graph wire; then, carefully bending it
in circle, joined the two ends, weld
ing them together neatly and with
dispatch. This DONE and the
joint having been covered with
rough mass of hot silver fash
toned into a ball of the size of small
cherry, the Hindoo held out the half
finished trinket for our inspection and
approval. H next smoothed and pol
ished the surface of the ball by ham
mering; then he gravcd and stamped
it with various dies, cutting simple,
conventional patterns of irregular de-
sign. Next, having selected n small
silver serpent from an assortment of
read made devices and charms which
he kept in II cocoanut shell, he plunged
it into the fire and blew through his
blow-pipe until the cobra became
blood red. Pinching the reptiles tail
between bits of moist clay, the Hindoo
drew it from the fire, and, before it
lost its angry hue, deftly cork-screwed
the emblem of immortality around the
wire of the bangle in four complete
coils, all the time tapping the snake
here and there gently with his mallet,
in this way fastening it securely in its
place. Plunging the ornament into a
calabash of cocoanut oil, he waited till
the serpent ceased Kissing, and the
Indian bracelet was then ready to be
clasped on the wrist of whomsoever
the gallant gentleman had in his mind
when he found it in his heart to give
the order for it. Interior.

unfamiliar with the workings Of the

series Of rulings which have produced

mean time the republican examiners
are enjoying the situation and
working hard for the success of their
party next fall.
When Mr.. Villas, with his vigorous
business methods, succeeded Mr..
Lamar as Secretary of the Interior,
he at once noticed the loose way of
doing business that was in vogue
there, and issued an order prohibit
ing employees gossiping, smoking,
writing private letters, etc., during
office hours. This order created a
big scare among the republican
examiners and outwardly there was
a sudden transformation in the Office
but in reality they are devoting more
oftheir time trying to bring discredit
on Mr.. Cleveland's administration
than to the work for which they
are paid.
