MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Margaret NIather.

HhafSdTot lAdbhST.
Margaret Mather gave two performance
es at Portland theatre Saturday, appear
Ing as Pauline ia the "Lady of Lyons"
at the matinee and as "Leahi in the
drama of that name in the evening. Miss
Mather's acting does not differ in these
characters from what we have always
known 1T, except that either from her
absence from the stage. or from causes
OF which we have no knowledge, her
Pauline does not impress one with the
same force as when first seeu. 1t Is a
very good represen tation. but even In its
most impassioned moments, her Pauline
doesn't seem quite spontaneous. She
was at her best in the last act when
Claude reveals himself, and the audience
paid her the compliment of waiting at
tine fall of the curtain and giving her
and Mr.. Paulding (who took the role of
Claude Melnotte effectively call.
In the characterization of Leah, Miss
Mather appears at her BEST The passion
ate vindictive Jewess is in her line, and
she puts more sentiment into the deserted
Leah than into other roles. Her curse
scene was very effectively done, and the
enthusiastic audience were ve-y emphatic
in their calls for the curtain.
The audience at the matinee was large
and composed off many of the best
known ladies of the city. The evening
audience was rather slim.
Wilbur Opera Company.
The Wilbur Opera Company Will COM
inenco a fortnight's enga cement at Port
land theatre, tonight, playing the 1.-Two
Vagabonds. The company has been
playing in Bangor aud Lewiston where
they have received very strong notices
and evidently gave great pleasure to large
audiences. The Lewiston Sun says that
the operas were put on the stage in fine
style. The costuming was unusually
elaborate and the principals and chorus
sang most effectively The tenor, Mr.
Conley, Biddeford boy, who used to
sing in st. Mary's church in that city, is
well known to the musical pubic of Port
land. Mr.. Clark, the baritone, is highly
praised. Misses Mortimer and Bolton,
are said to be bewitching, and Messrs.
Kohule and Vaughan very funny.
The Living Pictures that conclude the
performances, receive unstinted praises
from the journals edited in the cities
where they have been given. They are
called "artistic to a degree" No doubt
the evening performances and matinees
will be attended by audiences limited
only by the capacity of the house.

our Small Army Ia Efaoiant


General Harrison, in his This Conn,
try of Ours" article In the Ladies'
Home journal, writes Of the War and
Postofice Departments and Of the De-
partment of Justice, and In connection
with the frst-named he pays this trib-
ute to our standing army: Our army Is
small, In fact, and minute, when com
pared with any of the armies of the
great powers, but, under the operation
of recent laws relating to e~nlistments,
and of laws intended to protect the
rights and promote the self-respect Of
the private soldier, and to relieve him
from assignments to mental duties, the
quality and esprit de corps of the en-
listed men are higher, l think, than
ever before, and the character and mill
tary skill of the officers are of a very
high order. = The use Of the army
either upon the call OF a State to pre-
serve the peace of the State, or under
the direct orders of the President TO
suppress resistance to the laws of the
United States-has become more fire.
quent Of late years, and more than one
community has owed Its deliverance
from the frenzy of a mob to the pres
ence of a small detachment of United
States troops-men who would do what
they were ordered to do, and nothing
without orders. There Is no menace
to the liberties OF the people in u little
army, but its trained and patriotic off,
cers may again, in the case of a great
war, as in 1851, become the organizers
and leaders Of great armies; and, with
the little army of trained men they now
command, will, within the Constitution
and the laws, during Jul longer years
Of peace, be the c~onservators Of public
order"

Top of an Omaibus.
On my way from the Leipziger
strasse to the exhibition, while sitting
on the top Of a tram car, a young lady
Of some II summers. with a fine, intel
ligeut and Enthusiastically jewish face,
came on and sat herself beside me. The
maiden blushed as maiden never blush
cd before, and my curiosity was arous-
ed to Its highest point when | noticed
every person on the car stare at her
with n smile Of appreciation. Nay,
more, on the route people stopped and
looked ut her. Men raised their hats
and women raised their handkerchiefs.
Indeed, children looked through the
windows and kept their eyes fixed on
the top Of my tram till they could see
1t no more. What could all this mean3
That the young Jewess at my side was
the woman Of the hour, a person whom
Berlin was idolizing, some public bene,
factress to whom the denizens Of the
capital were giving evidence OF their
thorough appreciation and heartfelt
gratitude, was patent to all who had
eyes to see. What, then, was her he

the Teutons, been denied. until the

ascend the steps of an omnibus or

against such innovations. "Oh, for the

sighed. But at length the ladies bad

me to sit beside the young Jewess

to posterity as probably the first fe-
