Such work as this and much besides would
be ready to the hand of a new missionary at
Astrachan. There would he fresh and
eloquent voice to awaken all the associations
of Scottish Christianity in the minds of those
who had lived long at this frontier station;
and what was of the most pressing urgency,
there was the study of the Tartar language.

city, where Hindoos and Persians mingled
with Tartars and oriental Christians, where
strange tribes and tongues carried on their

They left Astrachan Tuesday the six

reached Baktchi,erai, Tartar town in the
Crimea, which appears to have been the des-

music AND DRAMA.
REUBEN GLUE.

REUBEN GLUE.
If this Yankee drama is as ludicrous as the
name. the audiences at Portland Theatre to-
night and Saturday will have much to laugh
about. The principal character is acool,
quaint Vermont Yankee, who Is imperson-
ated by Willis e. Akers. Reuben turns up
nAustralia with patent quartz crusher,
and creates much fun by his quaint drawl,
cute sayings and unlimited cheek.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
All who desire to help the treasury of the
Shepley Camp, S. of ", should not fail to
witness this new drama now being presented
at City Hall. The tableaux are particularly
fine, the music by the Schubert Quartette
excellent, and the play very finely produced.
There was a good audience last night, and
there should be another one tonight.
STRAUSS ORCHESTRA.
The Strauss Orchestra will appear at City
Hall in the Stockbridge course on November
2oth. The Boston Traveller says:
The playing of the dance music certainly
had the spirit of generations of dance max
ers; 1t was rhthymically strong. and the
nuances were well observed. Eduard Strauss
Is fascinating personality, he is magnetic
and all on fire as he conducts. He is a man
Of medium size, dapper and brisk; on duty
lie displays collection of orders, jewels and
medals which crowned heads have lavished
upon him. His baud he holds absolutely un-
der control, and VT imagine there is as much
power in his brilliant glance as in the grace
full moving baton he holds. Strauss Is i'm
bued with the dance. and when conducting,
not only his hands but his feet move in the
rhythm of what he plays.
