corning the debut, tomorrow evening ishsr
native city, Of Miss Juliana May, who returns
to this country after years of arduous spplica-
ton to the science of music in the best schools
of Europe, with much greater reputation than
was ever before achieved by an American can
tatrice. There is a commendable spirit OF
nationality in the interest which the debu tante
cOuntrymen and women everywhere evince in
her professional career that is opening with SO
much promise. That interest is apparent here
in the rush that has taken place to-day to
secure tickets for tomorrow night, when she is
destined to be welcomed with such greeting
as has rarely been accorded to a candidate for
the admiration of the music-Ioving public.
WELL DoNx.-Mr. Henry P. Brooks, the OPP
ponent Of Mr.. Henry Winter Davis for Con-
gress in the late election in Maryland, has

contest is the alleged fact that the supporters
of the contestants were prevented from voting
for him by violence, while by fraud the nomi-

trust, Of the great moral disease that has de
stroyed the reputation of the capital of Mary
land
