2tfo combination of talent ever trav
eled that bears more hearty endorse
ment of the press than the Hyers
Sisters, who are to appear here to
morrow at Metropolitan hall. 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.

Tho Wide West-
The Standard says: "Steamboats
like fast horses now-a-days are built
for speed. Everything progresses, and
in order to keep up with the times,
rapid transportation is necessary. The
steamer Wide West was built b3T the
Oregon Steam Navigation company,
with a view to speed, in connection
with her other features, and right
well did they succeed. This boat
yesterday made the fastest tune on
record between the C;iscades and
Vancouver, a distance of forty-seven
miles. She made the run in one
hour and forty-seven minutes, almost
twenty-four miles an hour, and if
there is another boat outside of the S.
G. Reed that can come within five
miles an hour of this time, give us
the name."
