MUSIC AND DRAMH.
MoCULLUM'S THEATRE.

This is a gala week at McCullum
theatre, where the brilliant comedy
"Niobe," that was the success OF the
McCullum season at the island last year.
is the attraction, being presented at 'ne
urgent request of Manager McCuiluul
patrons. ''Niobe'' is not only one Oh 'ne
merriest comedies ever presented Id Foro-
land, bat Is one of the cleanest as we'll
Its dialogue fairly sparkles WIN wiU'
the action is rapid, the comedy scenes AoA-
low one another in such quick success
sion that the audience only recover from
one spasm of laughter, to be convulsed
BY another complication. The audiences
are unusually large and fashionable this
week and their appreciation of the fine
performance is shown by the hearty ap-
nIause that rewards every good scene and
the enthusiastic curtain calls accorded
the company at the end of each act.
Last night was flremen's night and a
large number of red jackets, interspersed
throughout the orchestra and balcony.
gave an added charm and variety to the
evenings entertainment. Tonight will
be society night A number of prominent
society ladies, who were most urgent IN
their requests for another production OF
this delightful comedy, have formed
number of parties that they will enter
tain by visit to the theatre this eve
ming. Friday night, the officers from
the Montauk will occupy the boxes and
all may anticipate one of the most en-
joyable performances of the week on this
occasion. Reserved seats may be obtained
at Steinert & Sons music store for any
performance and as the advance sale is
very large for each afternoon and eve
ming, patrons will find to their advan-
tage to engage seats at once.
THE GEM.
1t is not surprising that the Gem thea
tire is packed at nearly every p,rformance
of the week for it is many day since
Portland playgoers have had an opportu'
nifty to witness a pure Shakesperian
comedy, and never before has 1t been
permitted them on home boards to see a
pastoral version with stage set like that
provided by Byron Douglas.
The eyes linger on the beauties of this
pastoral scene and they alone, were there
no action, would well be worth visit
to the prettiest summer resort in this OF
any country.
And when it is remembered that all
this is but the accessory to action, and
that, too, by o company of the best talent
selected from stock companies of the
highest reputation, wonder these should
not be at the enthusiastic interest which
attends ''As You Like It," the produc-
ton of the week.
1t is fortunate for the many visitors
now in the city that such an entertain
ment as within their grasp, and though
the demand is great, by timely applica-
ton at the office of the Casco Bay steam
boat company, Custom House wharf, it
is likely that they, too, can secure de-
sirable seats for either matinee or eve.

Phil Ensminger at the Village, in which
 house he lived during the early part of his life. He attended the district school winters until the age of fifteen, when he was placed under the instruction of Rev.
 George w. Pendleton, who at that time was pastor of the Baptist church, where
 his people were regular attendants. In a conversation Monday evening with Rev. F. L Batchelder he said that Rev. MT. Pendleton was very able man and most eloquent preacher, more so than anyone who has ever supplied the pulpit of this church. After studying for some time with MT. Pendleton, young Smith entered the Connecticut Literary Institution at Sumeld, from which he graduated in 184S. September 19, 1849, he entered the law office of MahloR R. West as a student,
 and was admitted to the Connecticut bar August 18th, 1859. In October 1859, he opened law office in Colchester, where he remained until 1857, when he returned to Stafford and commenced the manufac- ture of elastic webbing in the grist mill that was destroyed in the great flood of TT. This business not proving a suc- cess financially 1t was given up, when he was seized with the so-called western fever and removed to the then territory oi Minnesota. In this state the life of Judge Smith has been notable one, having at. tained high distinction as an eminent jurist; serving as corporation counsel fol number of large railways; holding many important political offices, and at the time of his death senior judge of the fourth judicial district, which position he had held for many years.
