The press of Portland are profuse in their
praise, and they have drawn large houses
in that citj'. The price of admission is
very moderate and we hope to see the
hall crowded. The Oregonian of yester
day says: As a panorama, it is no single
resect inferior to an v which have visited
Portland for years. The one scene of the
Lakes of Kiliarney, viewed by moonlight
is alone well worth the price of admission.
We can conscientiously speak of the
other features of the performance with
favor. Tim Cohan is a very clever Irish
mansings, at least passably, acts quite
naturally, and dances superbly. After
Tim gave the audience the real old Irish
jig, last evening, he took the house for all
it was worth, and instantly established
himself as a favorite. Miss Marit, Poinier
has a pleasant voice, and sings the Irish
ballads quite effectively. Her apparent
deficiency as a songstress is more than
overcome by her acting and very clever
dancing. Dutchisms by Dan P. "Howard
was exceedingly mirth prov- king, and
th: hearty laughter " he evoked and re
peated encores won, furnished abundant
proof that he succeeded in nior; than
pleasing. Asa Dutch comedian, Howard
is scarcely inferior to Knight, who was
such a favorite with Portlanders. For
eceentric character sketches Mr. Harry
Nicholson is certainly worthy of favor
able mention. His character" songs last
evening of "Simple Simon," and "Old
Joe," would not relied discredit on
Charley ' ivian's happiest effort in that
line. Everything considered, Mr. llo
worth gives an entertainment ins I rueti ve,
edifying, refined and pleasing. There is
an enure absence of everything which
could ('ffei.d the most cultivated taste,
and yet there is an abundance of harmless
amuscm. nt.

The Chicago Post of a late datesiys:
"In the forty international contest games,
all but four have been marked by single
figures, and in eighteen the winning nine's
eore did not exceed five runs. A ball so
Ha' by and dead that it could not be batted
a rod deserves the credit rather than any
superior play. The public is last learning
that there is more sport where the batsmen
and tiel lers play as well as the pitchers
and catchers, and that a low score docs nut
necessarily imply an interesting game."

Editor. Exi KRiMUsE-Sir : I should like,
if agreeable to you, to eontradict an article
that appeared in your last issue, headed
"Hoodlums not WantotF'and sigred "OT
server." The gentleman must be a man
ot low origin or he would not attack a
man's character in this way and conceal
his name. He is a liar and a villain of the
deepest d ve. There was no lady tripped
in tlie ball room that night, neither was
there any insult ottered to any lady that
night, which can be clearly proVen by tint
company present. Please dome the jus
tice to publish this, and I shall take no
more notice of such a cur. Wm. Smith.
Attkmpted Siicidk. Last Thursday
night Jos. Wrigley, who has been driving
a team for George lirougliton, attempted
to put an end to his life by driving a rail
road spike into his head, but only in
llicted ii slight indenture which did not
prodtie.; the desired effect. He says he
shot himself with a pistol, lust Dr. Davis
made an examination and says the wound
was m ule by a spike (r something simi
lar. Tne first attempt not being satisfac
tory, Joseph tried to drown himself in the
river 1 ist Sattir 'ay and would have ac
complished his object had not Mr George
Foster appeared on the scene and rescued
the love-sick swain from an untimely and
a watery grave. The cause of this
strange conduct is a j'onng lady employed
at the Harlow House", to whom Joseph has
been paying his attention for some time
past , and i ecently he proposed that thev
should be made' as one, but the dulcina
failed to se it in that light. He tried his
best to persuade her to chan e her mind
and finding it was of no avail he resolved
to put an end to his misery and proceeded
to put his plans into execution, but failed
in two attempts.

We like to see a mechanic or merchant

worth the tenth part of what he himself is.

"I have been troub'ed from my bovhood
with chronic or hereditary lung complaint
Home years since, early in the winter, I-took
cold, which as usual settled into a severe
cough, which continued to increase as the

the cough remedies I had knowledge of. My
family physician also prescribed for me, but
I experienced no relief. During nil this time
I was gradually running down, losing flesh
and strength, until my friends as well as my
self, became very much alarmed, thinking "i
should waste away in .consumption. While
in P.oston, during t lie spring fot o ing, I was
