II Devoe is worth Sl.75 a gallon, and

paint, and wears twice as long, what is
average paint worth a gallon put-on.
painters wages being So. so day and

OF the role, and remarkable sense, Of
comedy. Here was part thst was equal
to the best professional conception Of this
interesting character. Mrs. Parker
thoroughly identified herself with the
part and never departed from it. Mr..
Parker and DR.. Lafond played the two
thieves very effectively. The bulk OF the
comedy rests on them. They are the
motif of the opera. Mr.. Parker is always
excellent in all of his comedy roles"
Capt. G. w. Dow, formerly Of Ellsworth,
who was in command Of the seven
master Thomas w. lawson when she was
lost at Scilly islands on Dec. 10 last with
all but three Of the crew Ct eighteen, has
reached his home in Melrose, Mass. He
is still suffering with his broken arm.
Capt. Dow is quoted as saying: 1.-The
Lawson was not OF her course. She was
not driven to destruction by storm, for
there was no storm at the time. The
schooner, after having taken pilot on
board and anchored off the lighthouse,
was allowed to drift despite my protests.
1 will report the truth OF the entire affair
to the owners" Capt. Dow says he had
put in to take tow to London. Early in
the evening, and again at 2 O'Clock in the
morning, he says he called the attention OF
the pilot to the fact that they were drift
ing. He was assured that the vessel was
not dragging anchor, but not half hour
later she piled into jagged reef.

He began to cough this winter just the
