Lite Portland, (Me.), Press says: Thev are excellent commedians in their way. and the musical talent in the troupe surprises all who have seen them. The Hyers Sisters are well known in Portland, and they are proba blv the best colored singers before the public Miss Anna II vers, the .soprano, has a voice that in the upper register is remarkably pure, clear and sound, and its compass, we are assured, is so wide that she can sing the U above the staff. She sings with taste and ex pression. Musically, Miss Anna Hyers is the most noticeable in the com pany. Miss Emma Hyers has a good mezzo-soprano voice which she uses judiciously. Mr. .1. W. Luca, bari tone, and Mr. Wallace, tenor, have ex cellent good voices. Mr. King would put to the blush many tenors of his op posite color. His voice is a pure head voice, and is very even throughout in the quality of its tone. The acting is liberally interspersed with plantation and jubilee songs, which in truth give the drama most of its flavoring and col or. 1 lie rendering oi mese quaint mel odies was marked by a beauty, richness and weird fascination indescribable, and which we have never heard equalled by any other troupe. The antics of Billy Kersands deserves a word of praise. 1 1 e is really one of the best features of the enjoyable entertainment given by this troupe. . In Memory of CoL T. J. Dryer- The Da"cx . lend Em lire. In the death of Thomas J. DrjTer, Oregon lost an exemplary citizen and the newspaper fraternity an honored member. He was the founder of the Oregonian. and, in 1801, was appointed Minister to the Hawaiian kingdom. On his arrival at San Franc'sco, he was enterLained by the Reporters Union, then numbering eighteen members. The only survivors of that association to-day are Win. Huciner, of the Ger man Democrat, and the editor of the Empire. The old sexton has "gath ered in" all the rest. Looking back on that pleasant night in the Den of the Bears, as Charley Webb used to call it, we think of 'Father Taylor, Billy Wells, iSed Rockwell, Wash Wright, 3Ned Knight, Chas. Sackett. J no. Urmyand the host of departed friends that stand ready in the better land to welcome " Uncle Tom Dryer" as they greeted him that night. It re calls those beautiful lines of Miles O Reilly's about the anniversary ban quet of his regiment, where the th'rtv- seven covers were laid, but only eleven survivors -limped in tore. a1 1 the departed glories of the battle field: And the room seemed filled with vh: pers, As we gazed at the vacant ca' '; And with chok'tig throats we pushed aside The rich but unlasted meat". Then in silence we filled ou eV.s' A nil rose up, just eleven. And bowed as we drank to the lored and the dead That had made us thiriy-scven. In the annals cf modern book publish ing, nothing has been accomplished to approach in excellence and cheapness the dollar series of good books published by T. B. Peterson &: Brothers, of Phila delphia. Some of the very best works in contemporaneous literature have al ready been given a place in this series. Not only have the publishers culled in chbicest fields for rare works, but they have enshrined the worthy works select ed in sightly and durable caskets, and wisely and praiseworthily they have ig nored the catch-penny device of printing a famous work from worn type on paper of wretched quality, and then binding it badlv in llinisv paper covers- As a con tinuation of this remarkable dollar se ries, the Messrs. Peterson have just is isued - Woman's Wrongs," by Mrs. Eilo rat being an entirely true yet graphic description of the legal wrongs that English wives and mothers wed to worthless husbands are compelled to en dure. Since the days when Charles Dickens wrote in the prime of his great powers, there has been no such arraign ment of a bad English law as Mrs. Eilo rat truhfullv and powerfully portrays in this wonderful and absorbing novel. Other volumes of the dollar series make it the best, the largest, handsomest and cheapest series of books ever pub lished, and are all isssued in uniform stvle. in V2 mo. form, bound in red, blue or tan vellum, with gold and black sides and back, and are sold at the low price of one dollar each, while they are as large as any book published at$l 75 and S2 00 each. Every family and every li brary should have in it some if not a romfiletesetof Petersons' dollar series. Send stamp for a full catalogue. AROUND THE CITY.
