MUSIC AND DRAMA
Eighth stookbridge.

The eighth Stockbridge entertainment
given last evening at City Hall, was an
event in that it introduced to Portland
Master Cyril Tyler, the young boy So
prano, who has astonished and delighted
the musical audiences of the largest
cities. Master Tyler is very handsome
boy, with a bright, animated face, which
lights up when he sings, graceful fig
ure, and good deal of the Little Lord
Fauntleroy air. His voice is, as has
been said, phenomenal in it's range and
quality for his age, and his trills and
runs are executed with much grace and
daintiness. He has one bad fault, and
that is tendency to drag his notes and
also to reach after them, instead of maxi
ing clear, clean-cut attack. Those of
the audience who heard Richard Croker,
the New York Trinity church soprano,
in the same hall years ago, will remem-
Der what magnificent voice he had, and
be apt to make comparisons with that of
Young Croker. OF course the enthusi-
asm over Master Tyler's singing was
marked, and he gave several encores that
of .sHome, Sweet Home especially
pleasing his audience.
The great feature of the evening was
Mr.. Arthur Beresfords magnificent rem
dering of the "Bedouin Love Song
All his selections were exceedingly wei
given and for one of his enoores he sang
tout on the Deep The Ladies' Quar-
tette sang very well, and their humorous
numbers, especially the one introducing
"My love is The man in the moon,'
brought down the house. Mr.. Johnson's
fine tenor was heard to advantage, and
he also was the recipient Of an encore.
Jeffreys Lewis. zAs
Forget Me Not the drama in which
Miss Jeffreys Lewis will appear Friday
night at Portland Theatre. is one of the
most attractive plays on the boards. As
mirror of social and diplomatic life
abroad it is eminent for the grace and
polish Of its style, the brightness of its
dialogue, the power of its situations. ssAs
Stephanie, the adventures, Miss Lewis
has gained the highest reputation. She
will be supported by a strong company.
The play for Saturday matinee will be
'Clothilde," and for evening 'La Belle
Russo"

He came outof the army with chronic di-
arrhna, liver trouble, rheumatism, and his
nervous system badly affected. The
swarnps of the South had poisoned his sys-
TEN, and doomed him to years of suffering.
Physicians and remedies without number
were tried, in vain hopes of finding some
relief from his complication Of troubles,
but all without avail. Years passed away,
and he felt doomed to life of agony.
Fortunately for Mr.. Wentworth his atten-
ton was attracted, about year ago, to
BROWN 49, ,SARSAPARILLA. Twenty
five years had elapsed since his troubles
commenced, and excellent medicine
though it is, Browns Sarsaparilla could
no5 turn back time nor renew youth;
but he says:
g Browns SarsapariIIa has
cured my muscular rheumatism and my
liver trouble, and | have been helped as
I never was helped before. Browns
SarsaparilIa Gid it, and I feel
thankful to this splendid medicine for the
great good it has done me. Browns
sarsaparilla is a noble gift to suf-
fering humanity, and a blessing
to all mankind"

Some Facts About Cards.

81 will give you," said Mr.. Rich
mond, "some facts about cards which
are not generally known. From
the time when in ancient Egypt
they were painted OH thin sheets of
ivory, engravers and painters ever
since have reproduced them exactly.
Wandering tribes of gypsies have
the secrets of cards as emblems of
planetary motion, time, ETC., but
without the higher knowledge of
why they have these wonderful
properties. But in this old, yet
ever new, religion of the stars,
there is abundant evidence to show
that cards were used by priests as
sacred emblems of astronomical
time and combinations of the solar
system.
astronomy was the basis of the
religion of the Egyptians, and cards
were automatically constructed,
and had symbolical references to
time, planetary motion and the oc-
cult calculations and mysteries of
the magi. What X, y and are to
algebra, are cards emblems of
heliocentric astrology.
1.-THE fifty-two cards correspond
to the weeks of the year. The
twelve court cards to the months
and signs of the zodiac. The four
suits represent the four seasons
spring, summer, autumn and win
ter. Thus hearts, in the first quar-
ter, symbolic spring, also love and
friendship.
"Clubs, in ancient times, represent
ed a clover leaf or shamrock, but
this particular suit has been given
the name of clubs at a later period,
and is mathematical of summer, al
so knowledge, learning, religion,
heat, temper, quarrels, and lawsuits.
Diamonds, in the third quarter,
stand for wealth, power and trade;
and spades, in the fourth quarter,
symbolic winter, cold, darkness,
