Arrived at Home.

Mr.. +. W. Hager arrived at home on
Saturday evening, after six weeks trip
to his old home in Germany, and a stay at
medical watering place there He is
looking wonderfully improved by the trip.
He says the charges at the watering place,
the baths Of which are considered a specific
for rheumatism, are not very different
from those at the Hot Springs in Virginia.
At the German spring, however, the wa
ter does not flow as at the Hot, but is
pumped up three times day, and at the
hours of pumping you must be Oh hand Oh
you get no bath.
Having been absent from the village
where he formerly lived, for twenty-One
years, he thought to surprise some OF his
old friends, and so at the hotel he did not
register his name. The young hotel keeper,
whose father Mr.. Hager had known, but
not him, said to him and his travelling COM
panion, ''Y GU gentlemen are Americans. y
''Oh no, " they replied, 1--WE are Russians. y
''Ah, you can't fool me-" he said, ''You
are Americans; I know by your clothes,
and by your manners. If you are not Amer.
leans, how is it you say No. that is not
Russian And SO they had to confess who
they were. Though it was nearly 10 O clock
at night, the news soon got around the vii
lage, and the next morning as MI. Hager
and his friend were walking out. a lady he
had known as a young girl, now middle
aged woman, called out to him, "Ah, Fritz
Hager, [ know YOU" 1t was some time
before he could recall her.
He went to the home of his brother, who
is clerk of the court, which was at the other
end of the village. He found him absent.
but found his wife at home. She could not
remember Mr.. Hager at all. ''Do you not
remember q dance we were once at, years
ago, at the house of so and so 20 "Y es, 1 re-
member the dance. but I remember not
you, Or ever having seen you" When MI.
Hager told who he was, she was astonish
ed, but as if expecting to have seen him
still young, exclaimed with commisera-
ton. Zach, bow gray you are.''
Mr.. Hager had such delightful expert
ence on his whole trip, that he is already
talking over taking it over again next year

GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL.
There Wera Two Hearings for Pardon and
Considerable Other Business.

The meeting Of the Governor ard Exec
utive Council was called at 2. M, Thurs
day.
The first matter to come up was admins
tering the oath to Hon. S. C. Strout of
Portland as justice of the supreme court of
the State.
Following this two pardon cases were
heard. Don A. H. Powers, ESQ. and Louis
Stearns, Esq appeared in behalf of Charles
Howard of Limestone, who has served
seven of an Is months sentence in Thomas
ton for rape. Mr.. Stearns argued the case
before the Council. The gist of the argu-
ment was that the verdict was wrong and
unsupported by evidence. Mr.. Stearns
read the remarks of Judge Lbbey who i'm
posed the sentence. In these remarks
Judge Libbey said that while there might
have been some doubt about the evidence
he had not been asked to set it aside. A
strong plea was made for Executive Glenn
ency.
II. ID. lJtdNltt, stltCtihah VI i$ihSotOht
WAS here in the interests Of Howard.
The next pardon hearing was in the case
of John SkiliinQs of Portland, who was
sentenced for rape Feb. 2, 1888, to Is
years in State prison. VIM. II. Looney,
ESQ.,, of Portland, appeared for Skillings.
A letter from the county attorney who pros
ecuted Skillings was read, in which he
favored pardon. The mother of the girl
assaulted also wrote a letter favoring the
pardon of Skillings.
Sheriff Long fellow of Washington county
was present at the meeting relative to petit
ton for the appointment of a State liquor
constable at Millbrilge. Sheriff Longfel-
low said that he had always stood ready to
appoint special officer for that purpose
whenever called upon and the Petitioners
were given leave to withdraw.
James Bailey of Bath was before the
Council in relation to some of his bills as
fish warden. Owing to a misunderstanding
be.w cen Warden Bailey and the fish COM
missioner, the bills were not approved by
the latter.
The Council adjourned till 10 A. NJ,
Tuesday, April II.

MOONS PHASES.
AMUSEM ENIS.
"vESUs" SATURDAY NIGHT.

''vESrs' SATURDAY NIGHT.
Music loving people will 90 far to find a
more pleasing attraction than we are 10
have with US Saturday evening next for one
night only.
A very pleasing feature of the Venus
production is found in the fact that no one
feature is made of paramount importance.
The stage settings, the costumes, the cast,
the music, the hbretso, the stage business
and the come y work all blend in one grand
whole, making the performance a pleasing
one to both ear and eye.
Miss Camille D'Arville, who heads the
cast in the role of Prince Kan is not a
stranger to the American public Though of
Dutch origin and has done some very ac-
ceptable work with the Bostonans and other
companies of equal standing, but in'Venus"
she is afforded better opportunities than
ever for both the display of her personal
charms and her voice. The dramatic skill
she displays in Venus" is a revelation,
and her singing is the most satisfying vocal
work she has ever done. In the quartet
with Hallen Mostyn, the leading comedian,
as Poem the grand Llama of Tibet; Harry
Marlborough, the royal astrologer, and
Donald Que Jr., as the royal electrician,
her voice is heard at its best.
Mr.. Rice never had more brilliant cast
in any of his remarkable productions than
that of "Venus," for in addition to those
already mentioned, its membership includes
La Regaloncita, and sisters, La Preciosa,
La Graeiosa, Henry Leoni, Fannie John
stone, Annie Sutherland, Nellie Braggins,
Trixie Friganza, and others of merit.
A more novel and brilliant scene is rare
ly presented in comic opera than that of the
electrical labratory in the third scene in the
first act.

MANoLA AND MASON IN "QUEES OF HEARTS.
At the Augusta Opera house, Thursday
evening, April 10, the famous Manola-
Mason Company will present their latest
success, "a Green of Hearts" a piece
which was expressly written for the pur-
pose of exhibiting the versatility of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Mason. 1t is written on the
order of the popular French vaudeville and
permits of most anythiog. brief outline
of the story is as follows:
La Petronella marion Manola,) a ia
nous diva, the reigning favorite of all the
capitals of Europe, is at the time of the
story sojourning at Naples, and is so dearly
loved by the populsca that sheis christened
the "Queen of Hearts" At the time Of the
story four suitors are trying hard to win
the hand of this much sought after prima
dona. In fact she seems to be an inter-
national favorite, as an Irishman, an Eng
lishman, Frenchman and an American
are all in love with her. The plot of the
play deals with the efforts of these four
saitors to win the hand of La Patronella.
The scenes are laid in Naples, and the time
is the present. The production will be a
very complete one, and one that promises
to be extremely SNOWY.
The three scenes are from the brush of
Lafayette Seavey, who painted the pretty
scenery of "Frieni Fritz" They repre-
sent street in Naples during the carnival
time. The second represents the magnif-
cent yacht America at anchor, and it is safe
to say that the scene will be most realistic,
as it was designed by John Mason, who is
thoroughly posted il, all matters pertaining
to yachts. The third scene is the reception
room of the Grand hotel, Naples. The
artistic and conscientious work performed
by these two clever ar lists have made fol
them following which is always anxious
to give nything new they may present a
| hearing.
