WitsumoroN, Sept. 25, 1868. The marriage of
Robert Lincoln with Miss Harlan was the town
talk to-day. No cards were issued, and the Com
pany present consisted only of the family and a
few intimate friends; so curiosity has been excited
to the highest pitch to know "how the bride
looked," how site was dreamt, and all the minute
particulars which "Jenkins," on such interesting
occasions usually seta forth with scientific mi-'
nutenees. The newspaper men were excluded, and
the accounts which are published were gathered
piecemeal from those fortunate enough to be
present, consequently due allowance must be
made for inaccuracies. The greatest desire was
felt to see Mrs. Lincoln, widow of the President,
whose eccentric course some time since brought
her prominently before the country; but every
thing was managed with great privacy, and no
ostentation was indulged in, so the mtdtitude
were not gratified Willis eight of Mrs. Lincoln or
any of the actors in the ceremony. It was
managed with great propriety, and - everything
pealed o 8 satisfactorily. The bridalparty left
to-day on the noon train for New York, for a
week or two, atter which they will go to Chicago,
where Robert resides.
AN APPOINTMENT REVOKED.
Secretary McCulloch has revoked the appoint
ment of William 0. Kline as storekeeper in the
- First District, on account of Kline being one of
the sureties on Collector Abel's bond. Abel came
d_ own yesterday to urge the appointment of
KIM ,e but was informed by the Secretary that
Mr. Kline could not be released as surety, and the
law torbade him holding an appointment under
the Collector. Kline's appointment was first
made on recommendation of Hon. Samuel J.
Randall without Abel's knowledge, but Abel con
curred in it, and the Secretary cancelled it on the
legal grounds stated.

"JUDGE" SLOANAKEE.
"Jude"g Slintugter, of resat, formerly of
Philadelphia, is here on "public business;"
namely, to settle his accounts with the Govern
ment which accrued during his trip to Tekas.
It Is understood he haw." footed up" a pretty
heavy bill of expenses, which he asks the Govern
ment to pay, on the ground that they were all
" necessary for the good of thepublic
service." He has not been to the White
House yet, to report to Johnson the
details of his excursion to Texas. It Is. said
Johnson declares that "with all his faults, he
loves Sloanaker still." Inquiry has been made at
the White House as to what disposition was
made of the vase of wax fruit, but no trace of it
can be discovered. The supposition is, Johnson
has sent it to Tennessee, to cherish It as long as
he lives, as one of his household objects of affec
tion—the disinterested gift of his friend Sloan
aker, the pothouse politician of Philadelphia.
Alas ! poor Johnson Little does he know that
this same vase of wax frultwas presented to Col-
William B. Thomas, when Collector of the
Port of Philadelphia, by the same Sloanaker,
who, when Thomas returned it to him, then
presented it to his friend and patron. Andy John
son! The President reads the EVFZING But,
LETO, regularly, and when he sees that his feel
ings hate been trifled with in this way, and that
Sloanalter has declared for Grant, he may, in his
inedgriation t return the wax fruit to the ungrateful
donor. The question will be then, "Who will be
the next customer to whom he will present the
wax flowers 2" Postmaster-General Randall or
Secretary McCulloch are the only officials having
patronage to dispense, to whom Sloanaker can
apply, and it is suggested that he present the
wax flowers to cue or the other.

NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
THE Republicans of Camden are working in
real earnest for the success of their ticket. Al
most every night meetings are held in prominent
places in the county, and important documents
are circulated among the voters. To-night a
monster mass meeting will be held at Arcnes's
Hotel, Cooper's Point, at which ion. James M.
Beovel and other sneakers will discuss the issues
of the hour. The Grant and Colfax Central
Campaign Club will turn out with music and
torches, and a grand time is expected. On Tues
day evening next CoL J. Fairman will address
the citizens of Camden at the Court House, in
favor of Gen. Grant, Colfax, John I. Blair and
the Republican cause.
MORE Dora EN Tnount.s.--Some boys are very
troublesome, and farmers residing in close prox
imity to Camden are frequently annoyed by that
class, who seem to delight in perpetrating acts
of mischief, such as stealing melons and other
early products. Yesterday three were arrested
on the charge of stealing corn, and were held to
answer. The persons sustaining the injuries are
determined to enforce the laws against these
young depredators, as a warning, at least, to
others.
DEMOCRATIC CONTMCTION.—The ' Democratic
County Convention to make nominations for
sheriff and three coroners will be held at Black
woodtown,on October let. Were it not for the sake
of filling out their ticket,therewonid be no use for
them to make a nomination. Randall E. Mor
gan, Eeq, the Republican candidate, is so well
and popularly known that his electibnis beyond
peradventure.
CULVERT IN MARKET STREET.--A. majority of
property owners on Market Street having peti
tioned Council to authorize • the construction of
a culvert from Second to Sixth street, that body
at its last meeting adopted an ordinance granting
the proyer of the petitioners. The new culvert
will connect with one already laid from Second
street to the Delaware river.
IMPROVENG A HIGHWAY.—That part of the Had
dotfeld turnpike lying and being within the city
limits haviri'g, by limitation, passed into the con
trol of the City Connell of Camden, that body last
evening resolved that it should be paved from
Market street to Newton avenue.
FELL Down.—Last night during the heavy rain
the foundation walls of a new building in process
of erection, on Market street, above Third, be
longing to F. Westcoat, were undermined, and
the structure fell. It was designed for a dwelling
and law office. No.one was hurt.
NOMINATED. The Republicans of Atlantic
county have nominated Jesse Adams for State
Senator and Hon. Jacob Kelm for the 1403-
latnre.
Burwma Pinatrrs.—Two hundred and fifty
permits for the erection of buildings. have been
issued in Camden since the first of January last.
The Attitude of Prussia.
The Berlin letter in the North Eastern- Corres
pondence says that there are both a peace party
and a war p arty,now in Prussia. To the former
belong the King and the Conservatives; it is from
them that have proceed the late overtures for a
rapprochement with Austria, with the object of
isolating France, In the hope that she will not
make war if she finds herself without allies. The
war party, says and, consists of the "Na
tional Liberals," Count Bismarck. The
Count believes war to be inevitable, and even ne
cessary to Prussian interests. Beholds that it is by
means of a war only that the rule of Prtepla can be
extended to South Germany; that Austria is rapidly
recovering her strengthoand that Prussia cannot
afford to wait until her old adversary is strong
enough to attack her as the ally of France. Aus
tria, he says, is no doubt interested In preserv
ing peace tor the present, so as to be able to in
terfere with the more effect at a daddy° moment;
but when that moment arrives she will certainly,
not take the side of Prussia. He is therefore of
opinion that there would be no advantage in at
tempting to avoid a war if Franco ondcayored to.,
proyoko it.

Wasunrarort, Friday, Sept. 25, 1868.—Gen.
Howard received to-day later and,tuller informa
tion of the riots at Camilla, Ga., on the 19th
inst., which fully confirms the previous reports
of its tragic and blood,y diameter. Major How
ard, the Sub-Assistant Commissionex.for the Dis
trict of Albany, writes to the military headquar
ters at Atlanta as follows: •

lIICAU OF REFUGEES AND FREEDMEN, Annan:, Ga.
:Sept. 20, 1868.—Cot. J. .8. Latvia, U. 8. Army,
August ,a G'a.--Corournk : The affair at Camilla
RR= to have been a massacre. I inclose an EIC.
curate list of the killed and "wounded, so far as
known. A freedman, who was a prisoner at
Camilla, but who escaped during the night,
statee that he helped to remove one dead freed
woman and, four wounded freedmen from
the mad within 100 yards of the Court
House. The white men, his captors, boasted to
new corners of twelve freedmen killed in one
pond near Dr. Dosher's, two miles from Camilla.
Another freedman took refuge in a swamp,
where he lay concealed all last night with two
others near him. He heard during all the earlier
part of the night the white men scouring the
woods, &Outing, cursing and shooting the
freedmen. The pursuers were accompanied by,
bloodhounds. He heard the cries and shrieks
of the fugitives as they were shot, and as they
were pulled down by the dogs; two of the men
near him becoming frightened, endeavored to
escape, and both were shot within his hearing.
It waa reported to me as late as 4 o'clock this p.
m. that up to 8 o'clock this morning, when my
informant left, they were still pursuing the freed
men with horses and dogs. There has been an
intense excitement in town all day. The town
has been filled with the freedmen ; they have
swarmed about my office by hundreds. It has
been difficult to restrain them from proceeding
en masse to Camilla. I have addressed them,
counselling peace and order, and I have told them
that the offenders shall be punished, and that
their lives should be protected ; but I have no
heart for my work. I felt no assurance that my
promises would be fulfilled. The Mayor addressed
them, as did some citizens, but the freed people
scoffed at them, wonki not listen to them, and I
had the whole burden to bear. At this hour,
midnight, all is quiet. Dr. Rushenberg has re
turned from Fisher and. Flagg's plantation, nine
miles below here, where he has been all day,
caring for the wounded. I will, tomorrow, take
affidavits of the wounded men and others, and
_,
prepare an official report. Please instruct the,
and inform me what action will be taken by
military and civil authorities. Very respectfully,

The following letter is from Mr. Murphy, one
of the white men who were In the procession:
Docc unary Cor - yry, Ga., Sept. 20.—C01. 0. H.
Howard: As we were entering into Camilla yes
terday, we were fired on by a mob. Several
freedmen were wounded. I know as many as
eight. Whether there was any one killed I can
not say. Mr. Putney was wounded In the arm
and had several shots through his clothes.
Pierce was not hurt. After the whole
affair was over in town, I was followed by
four men, who overtook me six miles
from town. They handled me pretty
roughly, striking me on the head with a zun and
cutting me severely. They told me that several
freedmen were killed. I don't know who they
are. I don't know how many there were in the
mob. There was a very large crowd. I think
there were three hundred shots fired in all.
Signed.l Joins MURPHY.
In concluding his report to Col. Lewis, Major
Howard remarks :
Unless vigorous measures are instituted, and
troops are stationed here for the protection of
all parties, there will be much bloodshed. I
cannot restrain the people. It will be useless
for me to attempt to block the way of thousands
for any length of time. I must protect my
family and let the contending parties fight it
I
out. tis coming. I have sent the doctor to
attend the wounded. 0. H. HOWARD.
The Rebel Press on the Situation.
MAKE CERTAIN WORK OF THE CARPET-BAGGERS
It is too much to expect of white men that they
shall stand by quietly under such provocations as
was offered them in Georala merely for the
"policy" of non-resistance. When our throats are
about to be cut by negro-savages, led on by un
principled white wretches, it is no time to think
about anybody's chances for President. This, we
think, is sufficient reply to those who complain
of the "impolicy" of putting. down negro
disturbances with the strong hand. It Is only by
thus showing the negroes and their white leaders
what their fate will be, that we can be safe from
continual disturbances. Wo accordingly advise
the white men of the South to stamp out every
uprising of negro insurgents as soon as it ap
pears, just as the citizens of Camilla, under the
orders of their Sheriff, have done. Only always
be sure to take the hint from Gen. Forrest, and
make certain work of the despicable carpet
baggers and scalawags who lead the negroes and
are the real incendiaries.—Richmond (Va.) Enqui
rer, Sept. 24th.
TUTS MASSACRE.BUT . A PRESAGE, OF WHAT AWAITS
A ereat effort has been made to stir up an
incendiary spirit among the negroes in Georgia
since the very proper action df the Legislature
in unseating the insolent negroes and mulattoes
who had presumed to take their seats as repre
sentatives of the people, to make laws for them.
Foremost in the outcry against the people
of Georgia for this alleged "out
rage upon humanity," has been Greeley,
of the--New York •Tribune . ,-- — and -in his
wake every scurvy cur of the Radicalpress has
opened month in the chase. One of the first
fruits of their crusade is found in the attack upon
the uneffending citizens of Camilla. We do not
approve the slaughter of the blacks, but this first en
counter is but a presage of thefate that awaits the
colored race, when they suffe'r , white scalawags,
carpet-baggers, and villains to array them against
the white race and to lead them to hostility

Ammar, th., Sept. 20.-1 hasten to lay before
your readers au account of the recent important
events In this section. On the :16th bast, Capt.
'William I'. Fierce, a Keritacklan by birth, a gal
lant, officer of the Union army daring the late
war, st staunch Republican, and the regular no
minee of the Republicaturof this (11d.),- Congres
sional District, for the United States Congress,
proceeded to Americus, Sumter county, a
tovvn,, but, a few miles from Anckrsonvilk,
for the purpose of makhur his first speech in the
canvass of his dietriet. He was accompanied by
-Mr. John Murphy, a native of Indiana, and now
.a citizen and the sheriff elect of this county,
elected by a Republican majority of about 700 in
a poll of about 2,200. Reaching' Americas, they
regiatered their names at the hotel. Five min
utes thereafter they were informed by the pro%
prietor that his boarders insisted upon his turn
ing tbesegentlemery out of the house. They
were - Radicals, they mustleave or he could not
be landlord of theirs. The ge ntlemen replied,
"Erase our names from your books."
THE FTRST BLOW.
Shortly after this they addressed the colored
Republicans amid the muttering and curses of
the white citizens, who were in town in force.
houseße y K. Coy,mam and asso
ciate Chief-Jtlstice of the Stateit:lll. While there the
colored Republicans attempted to march
through the public square, with drums and
fife, though unarmed. They were ordered
by the dge of the Superior Court,
then in session, to stop the noise, meaning that
of the drum and fife. Some colored mon, not
hearing the order of the Judge, nor comprehend
ing the cause of the cessation of the music,called
out "goon with the music," whereupon the whites
drew their pistols, shot-guns, knlvea, etc., and
drove the colOred men from the square. Messrs.
Pierce and Murphy. knowing nothinp, of this,
approached the public square, paying little heed
to the warnings of the colored people who told
them that the whites had marts to kill them. The
Mayor in addressing the mob was informed by
angry men that the blacks should not be harmed,
but the "two d—d white scoundrels" should die.
As Messrs. Pierce and Murphy neared the squtue
an old white man said, more to himself than to
either of these gentlemen "God d—n you, you'll
neverleave that square alive." They then turned,
and by a circuitous route reached the officer of
Mr. W. C. Morrill, Agent of the Freedmen's Bu
reau, where they took refuge.
REBEL PICKETS.
They remained concealed thus until after
nightfall, when Mr. Morrill sent his servant with
them through the fields to a point outside the
town'where he met them with a wagon, in which
they escaped into Lee County, and thence to this
place. Returning over the road upon which he
had taken out the, wagon, Mr. Morrill found it
picketed by half a dozen armed men. These
man ,inonk, of colored men jgho passed
'over the road after Mr. Moriffil for two
;nen, giving a careful description of Messrs. Pierce
and Murphy. That night every road leading
from Americus, in any direction, was picketed
by armed bodies of white men. Similar bodies of
men kept watch over houses where the two gen
tlemen were supposed to be concealed. tione - of
these people made a secret of their intentions of
murdering Messrs. Pierce and Murphy. Yester
day,the 19th inst., Mr. Pierce, accompanied by
Mr. Murphy, the Rev. F. F. Putney, Philip
Janin (a corored man, recently a member bf the
Georgia Legislature, but who was expelled on ac
count of hie color), and about seventy-five
colored men, approached the town of Camilla,
Mitchell county', where Messrs. Pierce,
Murphy, and _ Janin, were to address the
colored Republicans. Four miles from Ca
they were met by a white man named
James Johns, who at first stated that he, was in
search of a "doctor " to attend a colored man
who had been injured by a falling tree. 'As soon,
however, as he learned the character of the party
approaching, he declared himself a " courier '
sent to notify Mr. Murphy that the people of
Camilla and of Mitchell County would permit no
Radical speaking in Camilla, that the county was
theirs, and they intended to rule it.
He then dashed off to town, and the party
moved toward the town, not believing that the
people would use force to prevent a political
speech. Mr. Pierce, however, heeded the warn
ing of the man Johns so much so as to send a
note by a freedmen to the sheriff of the county;
the contents of this note are unknown to your
correspondent, but from subsequent actions of
the sheriff it is supposed to have been a note
asking the protection of the civil authorities.
At a point two miles from the town, the party
was met by the sheriff and a posse. The Sheriff
asked that in deference to the wish of the citizens,
Mr. Pierce would not enter the town. Mr. Pierce
answered that as he was violating no law of the
county, and no right of the people, he would
speak in Camilla. He thought he had the right
to do so. Upon that the sheriff and his posse,
all being armed and mounted, dashed off to
town.
Mr. Pierce. in a buggy with Mr. Putney, pro
ceeded toward the town, followed at some dis
tance by the rest of the party.' With these latter
was a plantation wagon, drawn by tour mules,
containing the colored band, consisting of two
drummers and a fifer. Messrs. Pierce and Put
ney drove into the town, dismounted from their
buggy, and hitched their horses at the Court
House. At a hundred yards from the Court
House the band-wagon was met by the man Johns,
with a double-barreled shot-gun, which he dis
charged into the wagon, wounding two colored
men. Upon this there rose up from either side
- of the road upon which the colored people were
approaching the town, a large number of white
men, who had been concealed in the under
growth, who opened across-fire upon the colored
people in the road. A few of the colored people,
having pistols,, endeavored to defend
themselves, but a majority of them
fled. Messrs. Pierce and Putney rushed to
ward the contending parties, Mr. Pierce throw
ing up his hands and caning upon the freedmen
to stop, saying, "Don't do that, don't do that."
Upon this the whites, or aportion of them, turned
upon Pierce and Putney, and tired, wounding Mr.
Pierce in the leg, and Mr. Putney in the elbow
and shoulder. Both, however, took to the woods
and escaped, reaching the plantation of
Messrs. Flagg and Fish, two gentlemen from
Massachusetts, at 3 o'clock this morning.
- - - -
To return to the battle or massacre at Camilla.
The freedmen who were armed having emptied
their pistols, fled for their lives—such as had not
already been placed hors du combat—leaving th•
wounded on the ground. The whites pnrsaed,
some of them first assuring themselves that those
colored men left on the ground were dead by re
peated shots at their prostrate bodies.
Murphy •and Janin endeavored to escape in
their buggy but eight miles from Camilla
were overtalEenby five or six mounted men,
both dismounted from the buggy, i Janin taking
to the woods and Murphy taking refuge in a de
serted house, where he prepared to sell his life as
dearly as possible. His pursuers surrounded the
house and demanded his surrender. He refused,
and told them to commence firing. After
some parley, upon solemn promise that he shoal
not be harmed, nor detained, he came out, and
while talking to some of the party, he was dealt
a horrible blow upon the head, with a barrel of a
gun, in the hands of. another. He was then, after
some questioning and examination, allowed to
proceed on his way.
Tnn PURSUIT AND SLAUGHTER. '
Up to 8 o'clock this morning the white people
were still in pursuit of the fleeing and wounded
with their horses and bloodhounds.
The white - people in Camilla boast that one
pond contains twelve dead "niggers." This pond
is near the house of a Dr Dosher, some two
miles from Camilla.
One freedman, known to your correspondent,
stated that he laid last night concealed - In a
swamp with four others; that he heard the white
men scouring the woods, shouting,cursing. and
tiring; that he heard the cries and shrieks of the
negroes as they were shot dowa or torn by the
loodhounds; that two of his comrades who.*

The news of this massacre was brought to
Albany at about 6 o'clock last evening by a
colored man who had accompanied Mr. Fierce
from Albany. Little was known until Jki-day of
the fate of the fugitives whom'he had outstripped. ,
Last night the town was tilled with the wildest
and most conflicting rumors, none of which
appear to have been exaggerated in the light
of subsequent trustworthy reports. A large
body of colored men visited the headquarters of
Maj. Howard, of the Army, who is here as Com
missioner of the Freedmen'ißurean, and begged
to be allowed to go to,the rescue, of their friends
at Camilla, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that- they were dismiaded from doing so. It is
reported that Major Howard despatched a'speelal
messenger to Atlanta this morning to • COD:WM;
xdcate with, the military authorities there: He
despatched Burgeon Raushenbery, of the Weed,
men's Bureau, to Mitchell county, this mondag,
to attend to the wounded. Wounded men have
been arriving in Albany hourly since last night;
they bring heartrending accounts , of the bar
baritles practiced nylon their dead comrades by
their murderers. It is reported that- the Sheriff
of Mitchell county joined in the murderous Work,
assisted by the entire posse that accompanied
him, when he accosted Mr. Pierce, in the morn
ing.
CONCEPTION OF THE PLOT
Intelligent colored men bare assert that a lead
ing member of the Young Men's Democratic
Club (white) of this City went to Camilla on Fri
day night for.the express purpose of inciting the
people to the acts of yesterday. It is known
that the person in question went to Camilla at
the time mentioned. The colored people
have declared that the leading white mph)
instigated the attack which they now so
loudly condemn. On the receipt of the
news, this evening, that as late as eight
o'clock this morning the fugitives were berng
hunted down with bloodhounds, the town being
tilled with colored people drawn in from the sur
rounding plantations, was wild with excitement,
hardly a white man was to be seen upon the
street, excited colored men harangued their fel
lows, and all seemed determined to go at once to
the rescue. Armed negroes appeared in
squads as if summoned from the earth
where they stood. At this juncture
the Mayor of the city appeared noon the scone,
accompanied by Major Howard, who addressed
the colored people at some length, counseling
moderation and order, and assuring the colored
people that the Government would use every
means at Its command to bring the perpetrators
of these outrages to punishment, and promising
the protectibn of the military forces against fur
ther outrages if necessary. They received
these promises silently and sullenly,
but ultimately dispersed, those not belonging in
the city departing for the plantations, since
which time, up to this hour, midnight, all is quiet
and peace. The colored churches have had regu
lar meetings to-day. There are three of them in
town. Mr. Crumley, pastor of the Methodist
Church, and the leading colored Republican
here, has done good service in allaying the ex
citement.
LATER.-It is reported that the murderers in
the horrible massacre of yesterday were men not
from Mitchell county alone, but from Baker and
this (Dougherty) counties; and it is believed
that it has been determined by the white people
that, the military having been withdrawn, the
Republicans shall not canvass this district.

varied ability,—appearing with equal facility and fa
vor in the heroines of juvenile tragedy and cometly,—

her constant introduction of musical novelties of the

goers."
The Insurrection in India.
The Pall Mall Gazette says of these almost un
noticed disturbances:
The disturbances which have broken out on
the northwest frontier of India were made to
appear more serious than they really-are by the
vigorous measures taken by the Government.
The authorities doubtless remembered the obsti
nacy with which the Sittana outbreak was main
tained, and they were anxious to prevent the
Bazars affair growing to similar. dimensions, An
independent tribe attacked a village, and it is
said that three of the inhabitants were wounded.

movement from this quarter the government has

One of the 'Most striking proofs of the result of
judicious advertising and other stilLable-prepars
tion, and of a desire on; thepartoofts large num
ber of discriminating people to enjoy a select en
tertainment, was afforded at Milei3tovrit,'
Thursday evening, September 24th, 1868. {riot=
withstanding the fact that the night was a stem"
one, nearly every available se3t in the house was
occupied at an early , hour. 'The exercises were&
opened by a prayer of invocation by the Pastor
of the church, Rev.ldr. Swindon, f*ollowed by
reading of Scriptures by Rev. B. T. Phillips, Su
perintendent of• "Home for Little Wanderers:"
The display of illuminated, paintings was
unique and highly satisfactrily, 'Aber - thei 'der
scriptive lecture by Dr. J. H. Houghton, being s
criticism on the life,' style and writings of the late
Artemeu3 Ward, together with an allusion to mis
sionary work at the Philadelphia police station
houses, and among the neglected children of the
street, was enthusiastically received, The Union
School and Children's Home; the "Home for
Little Wanderers" and the "Foundling Home and
Infants' Hospital of Philadei'hia," were repro--
'tented.
The singing by "the Little Wanderers" on this
occasion was admirable. A hew piece of music,
composed by J. E. Gould, entitled "The Other
Bide," was given for the first time in public, with
fine effect. .Mr. Gould also furnished an excellent'
George Steck piano for the occasion. Prof. B.
V. McCully's rendering of "The Vagabond,*
"The Lost Heir" and' , "Sam Weller's Valentine"
were remarkably well done, and applauded to the
echo. Prof. A. R. Paul, Mr. S. B. Miller.
Mrs. Branson and Mira Knorr, the quer
tette choir from St. Matthew's Lutheran Church.
New street, Philadelphia, discoursed superb mu
sic. The quartette singing by the Misses Rorer;
Prof. Paul and Mr. Miller, was well done. Inn
solo, Miss Laura Rore* reflected great credit on
her instructor, Mrs. Levis. of FranWord.' Miss
Josephine Shallcroas, of Frankford, also one of -
Mrs. Levis's pupils, accompanied. Miss Rorer by
piano accompaniment, in solo, and Miss Lizzie
Danfor the accompanied the remainder of the sing
ing. The scholarr, and teachers and choirs
gave several of Bradbury's selections In
spirited style. . The first of Dr. Houghton's
illuminated paintings represents Artemus
Ward in his great Union speech at Baldins-
Alio. As the stars and stripes were mit
folded to the audience, Mr. B. B. Miller sprtmg a
little surprise by singing, with good effect, the
"Star Spangled Banner," the entire company
joining In the chorus. Great, credit is due the
young and gifted artist, E. F. Derain°, who exe
cuted the paintings emploYed on this occasion..
The correct idea of the much-abhsed phrase,"nn
der the gaslight," is admirably brought out. The
references to the children of want and 'sorrow
invariably drew tears of sympathy from the eves,
of the audience, and also called out pecunihry
contributions, ade from the admittance-fee, as.
