Its Social, Religious and Historical Aspect. WHAT REV. DR. KER HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. Last evening Rev. John Cer.D. D., lectured nt Chestnut street church on the social, relig ious and historical aspects of his country. The speaker commenced with a description of Ireland, its size, beautlfnl scenery and great Antiquity. Its sad condition, he claimed, was not dne to auy radical physical, moral or in tellectual defects of the people. Her Boyle, Goldsmith, Moore, Bnrke, Jeremy Taylor, Adam Clark aud Wellington are representa tives of whom auy country might be proud. The religious aspect shows that for hundreds of years the auoieut Irish church was a light to all Europe, and it was not destroyed until the vicious compact between Pope Adrian IV aud Henry II was carried out. The speaker said the people of Irelaud were now better fed, better clothed, live iu better houses and are better instructed that twenty years ago. There were a number of geuerous landlords iu Ireland who took a deep interest In the prosperity of their tenants, and so, be tween them aud their teuauts there always ex isted mutual friendship and good will, nor am I sure that the condition of tenants holding Under such landlords will be much improved by the land bill. Thia state of things, how ever, existed, iu spite of laws which enabled landlords who were so disposed to take an un fair advantage of their tenants. Aud so Ire land has got a bill that will establish fair play between landlord and tenant throughout the eutire kingdom. Without lingering on the means by which this measure became law, let me pass on to explain its principal provisions. First, then, it secures fair rent, and so no man in Irelaud now can say that his landlord charges him a rent out of proportion to the value of the land he holds or to the value of the produoe which by industry he can cause it to yield, for the rent is laid on by a court ap pointed by the Government, which is solemnly pledged to do justice between landlord »ml tenaut. It secures what we call security of tenure. Ou this point the sot amounts to'a lease renewable forever. It not only secures to the tenaut all the advantages of his own indus try, bnt it makes those benefits his own or his childrens' from generation to generation. This I regard as a matter of the greatest moment to Ireland, as I believe a sense of in security in their holdings must needs react in that discontented spirit which manifests itself from time to time amongst the people. In a word, the land act makes every man’s house his castle, and ou most reasonable terms his castle forever, so that be his house large or small, stone or mud, thatched or slated, he can now dwell therein sorely, none daring to make him afraid. The bill also secures the free sale of all his interests in his boiling. Ves, he may now plant aud build, drain and feuce, and then, it so disposed, he can sell his farm, with all his improvements thereon, to the highest bidder, and so he will improve his laud as he never did before, and in so doing he is, by the operation of this most wonderful measure, patting money into his own pocket or the pockets of bis children, and the final result will be a wonderful change in the land the people cultivate and the houses the people live in. The bill secures the one other result, namely, what we call in Ireland peasant pro prietary, or,, in other words, it helps the peo ple to become the owners instead of the culti vators of the soil, wherever the landlord wishes to sell and the tenant wishes to buy aud many will now wish this. The govern ment will advance to the tenant the necessary means, for which he will he charged 5 per cent, interest, for thir ty years, at the end of which time, by this payment, the land be comes his own forever. Thus the people have now an interest in the land, which will lead them to take an interest in the prosperity of the country such as they never did. But will this arrangement satisfy the Irish people? In answer to that question, I say that there will likely always be some people in Ire land dissatisfied. The truth is, disauisfaction is a thiag which has often paid well in Ireland and some people make a trade of it, and I sup pose they will work at their trade so long as they find it pays: but I give it as my opinion that among the great balk of the people, there will be satisfaction and quiet such as has not been for a long time past. But what about the no rent cry. Well, that cry will not take in Ireland as is obvious from the fact that appli cations to the land commission for the fixing of rents are increasing at the rate of 500 a day. In fact, the doctrine of no rent is abhorred alike by priests and parsons, by all protestauis and by all Protestants and Roman Catholics with whom I am acquainted. Of coarse there is in the social condition of the Irish people one great drawback, which is the extreme smallness of many of the (arms. Eight; per cent, of the entire population, which is now 5,159,839, live by farming. There are 574,222 farms aud 527,444 farmers: 50,613 of these farms are under one acre, 64,292 farms are nnder five acres, and 161,335 (arms are un der fifteen acres. Now, it is clear that no land bill can do much for one or five acre farmers. Their condition, even it they got their laud tree, would be poor, so that to meet their case one of two things mast be done, either seud a piece of this vast coutiuent to Ireland, say a state, or bring all of those who hare one or five acre farms out to America. This is the plan I strongly recommend to the class of which I am speaking, believing as I do that its adoption by them would result in great good both to them and their children, who, if they stop in Ireland on one or five acre farms, must be in poverty ferover. Fourth of July. In response to a circular addressed to the merchants of Portland abont forty citizens, in cluding representatives of the various trades and manufacturing interests of the city, aud others interested, met at Reception Hal] last evening. Mayor Deering called the meeting to order and after making a few remarks relative to its object and promising the aid of the City Gov ernment in any action which might be taken , he nominated Mi. Geo. Moore, of the firm of Owen, Moore & Co., as chairman. Mr. Merry was chosen Secretary, and the chairman after stating the object of the meeting, announced himself as ready for business. Messrs. Mer y and Goss spoke of the interest the merchants felt in the«nterprise and the good prospect for a successful procession if only men coaid the found to set the ball in motion. Mr. Merry moved a committee of five he chosen to call on the merchants of the city, invite their co operation and outline some form of action The motion was amended by increasing the committee to six and adding the chairman and secretary, and as amended passed Messrs.

Mr. Smith shows himself to be the peer of any one in "slinging ink.” An entertainment committee was appointed by the Cadets to arrange for a series of enter tainments this summer. A grand moonlight exenrsion will be one of the attractions, and a moonlight sail in our beautiful bay under such auspices, and with such attractions as will be offered, cannot fail to draw a first-class party in every particular. Arrangements will also be made to give a prize drill, at some conven ient place, and such prizes will bo offered as will be sure to attract squads from the leading military companies ol the State. An excui rion to the mammoth roller skating rink at Old Orchard will he another attraction.

A Gentleman's Team Stopped by Roushs Saturday evening Mr. Win. J. Dyer, ol the firm of Norton, Chapman & Co., started with his wife, after the theatre, to ride home te Ferry Village. As he turned his horse’s head on to the York street end of the bridge three youug men, one of whom held a lantern, rushed out from the side of the road aud oue of them seizing the horse's bridle demanded Mr. Dyer's money or his life. Mr. Dyer had the whip iu his baud aud gove bis animal a sharp cat. The horse sprung ahead with a jump aud ever went the man who had hold of the bridle. Almost immediately afterwards Mr. Dyer stopped his horse aud looking back saw the three men disappearing up the hiil. He says they were about nineteen or tweuty years old, and probably expected he would ac cede to their demands. The York County Early Records. Tbe condition of the earliest records in the registry of deeds at Alfred, in the State of Maine, has for some years past attracted the at tention of antiquarians, and those interested in the preservation of all papers connected with tho early history of this State. While other States have preserved their colonial aud other early records by printing and publication, the ancient volumes in tbe York registry re main undisturbed, except by the researches of antiquarians and hisloriaue, and they are lia ble to become in a few years so worn aud mu tilated that they will become illegible, in ad dition to the danger of their total destruction by fire. Their loss would be irreparable to the people of the State, as these records are the foundation of the titles of a large portion of the real estate of this State. They have al so an important value for historical and gene alogical purposes as they contain many of the names of tbe first settlers in tbe now State of Maine, whose descendants are to be fouud in every part of our country. For the purposes of the preservation of these aocient records aud furnishing to the public the rich antiquarian treasures therein con tained, Mr. JobD T. Hull proposes to prin and publish the five earliest volumes of th records in the registry of deeds, ommencing with these for the year 11117, (although deeds of an earlier date ara there recorded), and con tinuing to tho year 1700. The five earliest volumes are very valuable and interesting, containing within them as grantors and grant, ees, the names of tho "Council of Plymouth,” "Sir Ferdinando Gorges,” "Col. Alex Rigby,’> “Richard Vines,” Thomas Gorges,” “Robert Jordan,” “George Cleeves," “Edward God frey,” “Edward Tyng,” “President Danforth” and others, noted men of these times; also the controversies with tbe colony of Maseachu etts Bay; tbe claims and jurisdiction of tbe rival parties; the deeds of the purchase of Massachusetts of the Province, aud the rec ords of the final submission of its inhabitants are there recorded, and will be published in these volumes. In addition, some important deeds and iecords to be found io Suffolk'regis try in Boston, and in the archives of Massa. chusetts Slate House, will be added. The volumes are to be transcribed and pub lished under the auspices of the Maine Histo rical Society, and under tbe direction of a committee appointed for that purpose, consist ing of James P. Baxter, Esq, of Portlaud, Edward H. Eiweil, Esq., of Deering, Hon. William Goold, of Windham, and Dr. Wra B. Lapharn, of Augusta. The Legislature of tbe Slate of Maine at its last cession, in view of the importance of the publication of thece volumes, made an appropriation in aid of the same, but a liberal private subscription addi tional is necessary in order that their publica tion may be assured. It is intended that this work shall be pub lished in four volumes, size 8vo,—of the style of the fust volumes of “Suffolk Deeds,” lately published by the city of Boston. They will be exact copies of the original as now existing, the proof sheets will be carefully compared, aud they will also contain-a full index com prising the names of grantors and grantees' with all other names aud places. The volume will contain not less than COO pages each, wil be bound in half sheep. The price to subscrib. era will be $5.00 per copy or 820.00 per set, payable on delivery as fast as publish ed. It is expected that the four volumes shall be pub lished within tbe next two years. Pergonal Among the receipts acknowledged in the Missionary Herald, for May, the organ of the A. B. C. F.

The Grattan Literary Association having devoted many mouth* in preparing this favor ite Irish drama brought it to a climax last night by playing It Letoro a largo and appreciative audience. The entertainment wan a decided success which together with the object in view (Iu aid of St. Joseph’s home) is sute to draw a crowded house again this evening. All the cbaittters were well sustained aud won the heartiest applause of the au_ dtence. Mr. P. J. McOallum as Conn_ the Shaughrauu, showed much ability and had the audienco in roars of laughter throughout, w hile Mr. J. A. McGowan assum ed the role of Father Doolan with grace and dignity, making the typical Irish priest. Mr Edward B. Parker made an excellent Robert Ffolllot. Mr. J. A. Gallagher played Captain Molineux in a manner that showed bis perfect familiarity with tbe character and flue mili tary bearing. Oorry Klnchela, by Mr. W. W. McIntyre, Harvey DelT, by Mr. L. J. Welsh, and Sulllvau, by Mr. W. P. Hasty, as well as the other characters, gave evidence of mucii talent and dramatic conception on the part of the actors. MIib Ella Latham made a beautiful and ac complished Claire Ffolllot, while Mine Emma Flaherty took the audience by storm as Moya. Her autiug was highly appreciated as well as her tine rendering of Kathleen Mavourueeu, which drew forth a hearty encore. She sang the pretty maid, &c., with sweetness aud harmony. The role of Arte O’Neil by Miss B. McDermott was well sustained, aud proved her to be a young lady of a flue literary taste aud culture. Tbe Montgomery Guards acted as Bnldters, which part they tilled in a faultless and prais worthy manner. The music by Gnminer’s orchestra was splendidly ren dered, many tine American aud Irish airs being played. Too muoh praise canuot be be stowed on Mr. M- T. Mulhall, who was stage director, aud ouder whose efficient manage ment everything wont oil so smoothly. He also painted many lino pieces of scenery which added much to the beauty of the play. That the tirat public entertainment given by tbe Grattans has made a deep and favorable Impression on their audience every one present will testify. THK lyckum. The new bill at the Lyceum last night was greeted, as it deserved to be, by a large house. Some of the people announced did not put in au appearance, but the excellent stock com pany made ample amends for their absence. The first part, with Mortimer and Hart at the ends, and Don Hatch as Interlocutor, passed off with great applause. Ida Mortimer’s ap. peuranoe, after her severe Illness, was the signal for the heartiest greetiog, aud Little Carrie made a pretty picture as she stood by her burse. The “Four Old Maids’’ was ad mirably done; Miss Ida Mortimer being dasli iug; Miss Alice Sherwood demure; Miss Annie Phillips saucy, piquaut aud pleasing as ever; and Miss Clara Wilbur trytng to look old. Joe Hart was fuuuier than ever. Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer revived that old favorite, their Irish sketch, much to the delight of the large au dieuce, aud Eddie Laiscell’a “Essence of Old Virginia” was a decided hit. The lad bids fair to be oua of the beat acrobats In the coun try. Tbe afterpiece was full of uproarious fun. THK CHILDREN’S CONCERT. The children who will partake in the grand public school Longfellow Festival at Citv Hall next Saturday, gave an admirable rehearsal at the hall yesterday morning. It gives pleasure to notice how all, from the oldest to the yonngest of the four hundred, give their un divided attention to their instructor Mr. Hazell, and seem to take pride in making the coucert a great success. The many features of a pleasing character, which will be intro duced on this occasion, shonld commend the festival to all. Tickets can be procured of the children, aud if desired, these tickets can be exchanged for reserved seats at Stookbridge’s by paying an additional fee OKNKVIKVZ. This play will be produced at Portland Theatre Wednesday. Mrs. Day has not spared any pains to make the operetta a success, and should have a full house to pay for her efforts. Mias Eva Smith is verv charming and attrac tive in her character as Geuevieve, and can not fail to please. Miss Bertie Hall as Isadora, grieving for her lost sister and her pages sympathizing with her, forms one of tile most striking scents. The last set iu which Masters Charlie Conunt and D rvi'.le Libby, as gypsies' attempt to Claim Genevieve aud are indignant ly repulsed l>y Isatlore, is vividly realistic. Miss May Lewis will read “Curfew Bells." bhe s a natural elocutionist, having had no instructions. NOTES A quartette composed of Miss Belle Bart lett, Mrs. Ada Car. Sturgis, Mr. Will Stock bridge aud Mr. D. C. It binson of Augusta, with Miss Annie 8'eckbrtdge os accompanist, wilt sing at Pittsfield next Thursday evening. In Boston this week Emmett appears at tbe Museum, the New York Staudard Opera Com pany la "Heart and Haud" at the Boetoo, the Onion Square Company of New York in "A Parisian Romance' at the Park, Woolf’s "Puuuce & Co ” at the Bijou, aud "Hearts of Oik” at the Globe. “More About the Lights." To the Editor of the Trees: A year ago light-house scolding was quite the order of the day, and it proved effective too in regard to Cape Elizabeth lights, which was just as it should be. But there ti room and reason for scolding yet. As matters were settled last winter, tbe coasting commerce of Maine are given to un derstatid that on July 1st of the present year "Portland Head” and Matiuicus lights are to be changed to a most uselo a and inferior order Now is it possible that our country requires this little saving, that will be realized by thus re dneirg these lights? "Portland Head" light is not an unimportant light, and needs to he belter rather than poorer. Our reasons for keeping it as it is, or better, are numberless and would tequiro more room than can be Bpared here. Then, in regard to Matiuicus lights, I think changing those important lights to a single, second-class red, is simply a piece of naval ignorance and tomfoolery. Matinicus Rock and su'roundings It a most dangerous Reality and a turnlug point for ves sels bound coastwise to or from essteru Maine and New Brunswick. There are no other ligh's nearer than 13 miles aud those are of an inferior order, and of no use as a safeguard against tbe dangers of Matinicus aud its neigh borhood, and if economy is the order of the day, rather than extravagantly waste kerosene at 10 cents a gallon,let’s havo a' phosphorescent fishbone. Thatwtllbeof much more benefit iu a dark night than » red light. How often in a foggy or snowy night the poor coaster or fisherman Is made happy by making the blurr nr reflection of a white light, high up ou the storm clouds. No seafaring man ever knew a red light to give that effect; and 1 assert that under the reign of a red light on Matiuicus Rock, the danger of shipwreck thereabout will be in creased fifty per cent. The State of Maine furnishes more coasting commerce than any other State on the Atlantic seaboard, and her fishermen aud coasters ought uot to be ignored in this matter, and I only echo the voice of hundreds In expressing my opinion. I hope my "scold" will bring oat some other voice stronger than mine iu regard to this foolish meddling with these lights. Tbe coasters and fishermen are the most familiar with the use and benefits of these lights, and they, more than any other seafaring class, ought to ltecon sidered In these matters. D. L. STATE NEWS.
