Herrm q nm Last Might.

Our readers will perceive, from the official
announcement in another column, that this
evening is positively the last appearance Of
Hermann In this city. His success has been
brilliant and complete, and nothing would
tempt him to leave US, we feel assured, but u
previously made engagement. However, the
tdt has gone forth, and tonight is positively
his farewell here. To those who have seen
him, they will need no urging to attend, for
they will be sure to be there. But to those
parties who have, from II press of business,
delayed attending, we say, do not allow this
first opportunity to pas. without seeing the
greatest conjnror since the days of Cali igostro.

What is True Charityl

We have seen any amount of praise to ladies'
societies tor the bestowal Of gifts to soldier;
and while it has been gratifying to every loyal
citizen, there are individual cases Of patriotism
that never would be known to the public, did
not some person, having n knowledge of the
facts, make some mention of isolated cases.
