E1PLANAT1oN.-Att the concert given on
Thursday night last at Virginia Hall, for
the benefit of the Young Mems Christian
Association, a young lady in the audience
interrupted the performances considerably
by Ginning in quite audibly with the vo-
calists. Her conduct attracted so much
attention that finally she was prevailed
upon to leave, and was taken to the resi-
dence of the very respectable family whose
guest she was. Many reports have been
circulated concerning her, which are with
out foundation. We have the following
facts from the very worthy gentleman at
whose house she is sojourning. The young
lady is from the county of Nottoway-he
family is most respectable. Shortly after
her arrival in the city her conduct seemed
eccentric, and at the concert was so very
strange that her friends supposed she was
suffering from mental alienation. Their
conjectures have proved true. The poor
young lady is beyond question deranged,
and her relatives have been summoned to
the city. This painful fact is only an
nounced in this manner to explain the
strange occurrence at the concert.

the Spanish telegraphic alphabet, which
differs in but one particular (the Spanish
letter CHI from the American. The taml-
liar signals used among American opera
tors are the same; for instance: Who is
writingG Quien escri6e. Go ahead: ada
lante! Ali right: Esta 6ien. Good night
Buenas noches. Some other tender e1-
pressions, such as "Go to -" "Try
again, bull-head;" cpd see you -
first :" all of which are too frequently
used on American lines, do not seem to
have obtained a place yet in the Spaniard's
signals.
