land Favorite.

Harry Bascomb, who was an old Portland
favorite aud member of the old Portland
Museum Company, has just cslebl ated his
18Th birthday at the Forrest Home To an
old friend he wrote, regarding the occasion,
this little note:
My Dear:-On Sunday next arrive at 58 years
of age. You will honor me by smoking my birth
day; have needed curing for many years.
trust that before Pm boxed you'll drop out to see
me. One can be sure when the fdal scene is to
be played, and Pm standing In the wings now
waiting for my cue. Yours,
HENRY LAURENT BASCOMB.
Apropos of Bascomb. an anecdote is told
illustrating Forrest strength and generosi-
ty. They were playing together damon
and Pythias," with Forrest as Damon and
Bascomb as Lucullus. In the scene where
the slave Lucullus tries to persuade his mas
ter Damon not to return home, Damon al
most chokes the slave in righteous anger.
Bascomb, who was a short. slight fellow, Of
fered quite contrast to Forests magnif-
cent physique, aud the latter actor, carried
away by the fervor of his role, picked up
Bascomb as If he were an infant and threw
him across the stage. The little actor land
ed in heap. insensible and motionless. The
curtain was rtng down at once and doctor
sent for. On examination 1t was found that
two of Bascomb's ribs were broken and his
hip out of joint. Forrest expressed his sor-
row for the occurrence by paying the ex-
penses of his friends illness and making
him present of $500.
