MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Sixth Popular.


The opera Mariana, founded on the
play of Don Caesar de Bazan, with which
the public has been familiarized by the
spirited representations of Wallack,
Booth and the fiery young Salvini, is re-
plete with wit, lively incident and strong
dramatic situations, allied to melodies
of perennial freshness and undying beau
ty. This opera, the first in the roper
toire of the Il Mariana Company, and
from whence 1t derivedits name. is rem
dered in thoroughly complete and ar
tistic manner, both from musical and
dramatic standpoint. The favorite ten
or, MI. J. c. Bartlett, has scored dis
tinct triumph in the role of the gay and
dashing nobleman, Don Caesar de Bazan.
The Mariana Company will be seen here
next Monday evening in the Stockbridge

OBITUARY.
John Evans.

Mr.. John Evans, one of Portland's
best known citizens and leading
railroad man, died at his residence on
North street, yesterday afternoon after
few days illness with pneumonia.
Mr.. Evans was about 63 years of age
and was born in England, near Liver
pool. During the early part of his life
he followed the sea for living until he
came to Portland 3S years ago and en-
tered the employ of the Grand Trunk as
checker.
From this HURDLE position he arose
step by step until he became assistant
agent to the present agent, Mr.. Smith,
and after serving in this capacity for
several years, he was appointed general
agent of the Great Eastern line, which
position he held at the time of his death.
Thus it can be seen that he has for many
years been continuously in the employ
of the Grand Trunk, being one of the
oldest emp loyes of the road in this
CITY,
He served two years and half in the
late war.
Mr.. Evans was a prominent Mason and
took great interest in the order. He
was at one time Master of Portland
Lodge, High Priest of Mount Vernon
Royal Arch Chapter, and was also a
member of Portland Commandery, X. t.
Mr.. Evans was also member Of the Odd
Fellows.
He married an English lady, Miss
Ballard, who survives him. He also
leaves two sons and two daughters, Mrs.
Edward SWEET and Miss Maggie Evans.
| He leaves two sons, Charles, formerly of
| the Portland Company, and Fred, now
in the First National Bank. He was a
kind, genial man, and will be greatly
mourned by the employees of the Grand
Trunk as well as by all citizens who
| knew him.
| The sad news has arrived here of the
death Of Mr.. T.. Engel Of Berlin, Ger
many, who is the brother of Mrs G.
Solkey Of this city and Hon. VIM. Engel
| of Ronro, who have fha svmnathv of a.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton says that the

RECIPROCAL TRADE

1t is now some four years since the
senate of the United States appointed a
committee to spend the vacation in in
vestigating our trade relations with
Canada. 1t was response to the de-
mand for relief from the congestion of
the home market on the part of the
manufacturers, and to the general i'm
pulse towards freedom of exchange.
The makeup of the committee Shove d
that it was designed more to defend the
protective policy against the attacks of
the free traders than to make an investi-
CATION with view to the removal of
restrictions. The majority. with HoAR,
of Massachusetts, at its head, were
staunch protecti0nistS.
The committee made the tour of the
border states, sitting in the principal
towns and taking testimony. They
visited st. Paul and Minneapolis, aud
called in the merchants and manu-
facturers, and asked them what they
thought of the situation and what it
demanded in the way of legislation.
We believe that some OF the dealers in
dirt appeared also. The protectionists
on the committee were surprised and
disguised at the unanimous sentiment
they found here in the Northwest in
favor of taking down entirely the row
OF white posts stretching across our
northern frontier, grim sentinels bid
ding trade to stand and yield tribute.
Without regard to party the business
men who came before them, Republic
ans, Democrats. all were arrant free
traders. The Republicans may have
been solid protectionists when the Gus
tom houses were away off ON the At
lantic coast; but when they were under
their noses and barred their right of and
opportunity to trade with their neigh
bors, they rightly regarded them as an
obstruction to one of the inherent rights
of men, the right to buy and sell. In
the two cities they found but one loyal
protectionist-a Minneapolis man, who
stoutly declared that if protection was
a good thing at all it was just as good
on the Canadian line as on the Atlantic
coast. We regret that his name escapes
