THE DRAFT.
notice that some military writer claims
through the newspapers, that the government
Is doing quite as well through the draft as
could have been expected, and that the au-
thorlties are satisfied with the result. There
must be some mistake about this. The draft
Is too expensive. 1t is more costly than vol
uhteerlng, even if good bounty were offered
IL Is very slow process, too Take this dis
trlct, tor example. The draft began about the
middle OF July, and the government has only
examined about one-halt of the drafted men,
But eight hundred soldiers have been obtain
ed and the whole number will not average tif-
teen hundred. 1t will take till the first of No.
vember to finish up the first draft. 1t will have
taken more than three months to raise this
number. | may be mistaken, but it seems TO
me that volunteering under the proper aus
pices, with three hundred dollar bounty,
would have got the men quicker, especially if
a draft had lmpenhed as the penalty of fail
ure. In the opinion of some shrewd people
the government will not make another draft
till congress comes together, and has had an
opportunity to amend the CONSUMPTION act
Ii 1t Is desirable to strike out the three hun
uIeu uOlldr communication Clause IL can De done
or other amendments can be made. Possibly
bill TO promote volunteering will be intro
duced at once, that volunteering may be tried
once more, with the draft to come if volun-
teerlng prove a failure.
GEN. MEADE's ARMY.
The movement towards Richmond of Gen.
Meade's army seems to hang fire. But this
Is only the present appearance-by and by it
will be found that his army has not been idle
1t is up and doing this very day. was sur
prised last night to discover the position of
one OF the army corps, and probably Gen.
Lee will be equally surprised when he finds it
out. The rebels are very sharp, however,
and Lee may have Gen. Meade's plans much
more correctly than the government supposes
1t VIII not be proper to state the exact move
ments OF our troops, but next week will
show to the country that Meade is executing
plan OF great Importance. 1t is possible, Of
course, that everything will be changed.
Many times since the war began, plans of our
generals have been stopped in the midst of
thelr execution, because the enemy has found
them out too quickly. Meade is very eau
tious general; sometimes think quite as eau
hous as ever Mcclellan was, but when he be.

NEwsTEAD ABBEY-It is stated that the
Prince Of Wales has purchased Newstead Alb
hey, formerly the family seat Of the Byron
family 1t was sold by the poet to William
Wildman, after whose death it was purchased
by Mr.. Webb. The mansion, which was
restored ana enlarged by Colonel Wildman
with good taste and vast cost is fine speci-
men OF monastic architecture adapted to mod
ern use. The estate ON which it stands,
though considerable in extent, has poor and
sandy soil. We notice that there is IA curious
case before the house of lords, in which By
ron's grandson is party. The late Lady
Byron succeeded to the 8arony of Wentworth
a short time before her DEATH after it had
been in allegiance forty-one years. Created
in 1929. whereas the Byron peerage was
granted in 1913, the Wentworth barony is
considered ancient. On Lady Byron's death
it descended to her grandson, styled ViScoInt
Oakham by courtesy, who is the only suryiy-
ing son of the earl OF Lovelace and Ada Au-
gusta Byron lie has claimed the title be-
fore a privilege committee of the house of
lords. But he had an elder brother, who,
though peer of the realm, had left his fami-
Iy, and chose 10 earn his livelihood as n ship
wright in a private dockyard. His death was
reported about year ago, but it was added
that he had married the daughter of one of
his brother workmen, by whom he left a sur
viying child Lord Oakham, his brother. has
to satisfy the house of lords that no such child
exists. He was unable to do this during the
parliamentary session lately concluded. OF
course, if he cannot prove the required mega
tive, his succession to his fathers earldom
will also be questionable.

WORCESTER COUNTY Musical CONVENTION.
We would call the attention OF our musical
friends to the convention, commencing this
morning at ten O'clock at Washburn Hall.
The morning sessions will include interesting
lectures and explanations by Prot. Frost, OF
the different kinds of voice, the proper meth
cd of bringing out power and purity of tone,
the organization of choirs, the practice of
church music from the "Voice of Praise by
Edward Hamilton, and "Harp of Judah" by
l.. o. Emerson and the consideration ofother
topics interesting to all lovers of music In
the afternoon Of each day choruses, glees, and
quartettes will be introduced. A sufficient
supply the various kinds of books have been
obtained and will be furnished for the use of
the class free of charge.
grand piano forte concert will be given in
Mechanics Hall on Thursday evening by Mr..
S. B. Mills, the most eminent pianist in the
country, assisted by Miss Nellie Fiske, Mrs.
Doane, Mrs. Munroe, and Messrs A. S. AL
len and L. II. Frost, vocalsts. We think it
safe to say that the concert alone will be well
worth the whole cost of membership.
On Friday evening the whole class will
join in a grand finale concert when selec-
tions from ''Handels Messiah" "Mozart's
Twelfth Mass" and some of the tavorite OPP
eras of Verdi and Donizetti will be performed
with orchestral and piano forte accompani-
ments.
Those who have attended Mr. Frost's pre-
vinus conventions need not be reminded of
the peculiar faculty he has in mparting life
and energy to chorus An efficient orches-
try, under the direction of one of our most
prominent musicians, William Sumner, will
assist at the concert.
One of Steinways grand pianos will be used
at the convention and concerts, and no pains
will be spared to render the exercises enter
tanning and instructive. For full particulars
we refer our readers to their advertisement in
another column. Q.
