The Cantain Wilted.

In the east the town of Castine has always
been noted for turning out the greatest
crowds on the steamboat wharf to greet the
incoming boats of any place on the coast of
Maine The City of Richmond and the Ban
gor boats are always greeted with enormous
gatherings, and in this connection a good
story is told of the ever popular Capt Charles
Deering, who commanded the Lewiston
when she was running on that route. One Of
his passengers once asked him the number of
inhabitants of Castine. Being told eleven
hundred by the captain, the traveller doubt
ed his word, and said he had just counted
fifteen hundred on the wharf, The captain
had no more to say.-Lewiston Journal

She Was Not an Houri.

Number one on the list of wives of the
shah of Persia suffers from a cataract
in one of her eyes. She went to Vienna
recently for surgical treatment. A large
share of the population of the Austrian
capital assembled at the railway station
to catch glimpse, on her arrival, of a
woman they fondly thought was en-
dowed with all the charms of oriental
loveliness. Instead of young and love
ly hour they beheld an infirm old lady
of go carried by elderly negroes from the
cars to carriage. The royal eyes, it is
said, will recover their sharpness after
an operation.

AT one school ve~y prominent exam
inee was tall, well dressed boy of strik-
ingly independent department. After he
had correctly read half page of matter
the inspector proceeded to test his intel
ligence by asking a question based upon
the text. Said he: MY lad. the term
standard poet occurs in your first para
graph. Now name me four standard
English poets
After a moments hesitation the pupil
replied:
Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth
and Anon"
The talk on the subject of grammati-
cal diminutives elected some novel in
formation. The inspector gave as an
example "manikin, little man." and
asked for contributors III the same line.
a number of hands were raised
"Lambkin, little lamb" shouted the
child called on.
Every good" said the inspector, point
ing to another lad.
"Tomkin, little Tom" was the an
swer.
The inspector somewhat demurred at
this, but finally accepted it. He then
pointed to a further lad.
"Buskin, little bus was the re-
spouse.
The inspectors countenance fell.
"Now, my lads" he pleaded, do take
time to think before you speak The
last answer was altogether wrong" And
he pointed to little yokel behind, who,
in his desperate eageness to catch the
inspectors eye, had ventured to mount
upon the form.
well, you lad" said the inspector,
pointing at last to this young hopeful.
Pumpkin, sir; little pump"
After this the pupils We're asked to de-
lineate their ideas of things pictorially
on their states. A youth who was directed
to display his conception of the volcano
Vesuvius handed up the drawing given
herewith.
YES" said the Inspector. ''that is
fairly good; but that other object, my
boy, what is that"
'Oh," responded the little artist, that,
sir, be the parish church o Pompeii."
A second remarkable feat was that
performed by boy who was told to set
down his idea of long inch, a square
inch and cubic inch. The illustration
shows the result of his labors.

The house occupied by him and pict

An immense dining room on the right of
the entrance hall contains a long table

Appeals WIN Be Made From any Redac-

Assessor Walker says he will appeal from
any reductions ON real estate that the
county commissioners may make. County
Attorney Nolan, who decided that the COM
mlasioners could make no horizontal reduo-
aon, will carry whatever case the assessor
chooses into court. This will determine
the point as to the right OF tho commits
Aoners to make the reduction. A test case
w'l also probably be made ON the order Of
the commissioners to assess bank stocks in
the hands Of the holders.
The result of the county commissioners
revision of the assessment Of Fergus county
shows quite an increase. The assessor
made the value of the real estate and the
improvements $685., 465; the county COM
missioners made it S759.5l0. The value Of
personal property was given at 81, 226, 4O5
by the assessor and the commissioners put
it up to g, $50 1868.

Bishop Brondel's Lecture.

A large and appreciative audience listened
to Bishop Brondel's interesting discourse
on Jerusalem and the Holy Land'' in the
new school hall on Catholic hill last even
ing. The lecture was interesting and illus
trated with some excellent stereopticou
views, several of which called forth the
hearty applause Of the audience. Bishop
Brondel talked interestingly Of his visit to
Jerusalem and of the places he stopped en-
route, vitalizing the scenes on the canvas
by his vivid descriptions. The garden of
Gethsemane was portrayed, showing trees
the trunks of which were said by botanlsts
to be over 1900 years old. Other sacred
scenes Of the Holy Land were shown on the
canvas and described by the bishop in an
instructive manner. The lecture was too
short for subject so interesting.

Inc hrst appearance of Miss Morris in
snls city was an event Of immense interest
to the patrons Of Miug's. As a consequence
she was greeted by an audience mot onlv
satisfactory in numerical sense but renre.
sentative Of the culture and society Of the
Guy. Inc parquet was packed to the foyer
wnlle the gallery was we'll filled, and it was
an appreclative audience az was evinced by
repeated calls for Miss Morris before the
curtain. In the more dramatic scenes the
silence in the house was perhaps the best
test OF her wonderful emotional power.
The character of Camille as presented last
evening grew upon the audience after the
rather Indifferent introduction act. The
acting of Miss Morris until the third scene
was not particularly impressive. Her voice
IS marked by an unpleasant nasal
wang and certain painful
precision and monotony Of tone,
while in appearance she seems hardly
adapted to the character, yet this lack of
girlish beauty of form and face wears away
as the play progresses. And this ID also
true Of other defects. In the scene of the
interview with Armand's father and the
subsequent parting with her lover, the
greatness OF her art becomes forever inn
pressed upon an audience. Then, until the
last curtain falls. every gesture and eyerv
intonation is watched with an intensity Of
interest that carries ones nerves to an
almost painful tension. The emotion of
her love and pathos creates sympethy
that seems to bring her hearers closer
at every change. It is almost safe
to say that all left the theater
with the satisfaction of having seen the
greatest actress in emotional drama. The
strength of the play would alone attract
unusual attention. but to Miss Morris must
be given the distinction of the greatest
Camille on the English stage.
The support was exceptionally GOOD. Mr.. |
Coyille Is finished and capable actor and
his Armand Duval WAS a very clever per-
Torrance indeed. His rich bass voice was
used with excellent effect at all times, The |
character of the Count de Varville was verv
we'll portrayed BY Mr.. Jepson and Mrs.
Gayler added q few admirable bits of con-
edy to the rendition. The other plavers
nlled their parts in an acceptable manner. |
This evening Miss Morris will be seen in |
MISS Mutton.
