THE LonD."-To-night's performance in the
theatre has been set apart as benefit to some
poor orphans of Confederate soldiers who are
now cared for by the Directors Of the Widows
and Orphans Home. The ladies in charge OF
this institution have been able to relieve many
of the destitute, but they are prevented from
accomplishing all they would desire by the
scantness Of their means. The benefit pro-
posed will, it is hoped, enable them to carry
out the cherished plan Of educating the
orphans now in their charge. We trust that
the theatre will be well attended tonight. The
money spent for ticket will be lasting bene-
fit to the children of those who gave their
lives for their country.

APRIL FASHIONS. new and monstrous
panier hoops have made their appearance in
New York. The Commercial says: 'Walking
dresses are worn just escaping the ground at
the hem, with either one skirt trimmed by
wide bias bands of like fabric, in different
shade Of the dress color, representing tunic
open in front, or more fashionably, with an
upper skirt variously festooned about the body.
The odious panier fashion Of old court styles
of the last century has been revived, which
causes the dress to puff out on the hips in un-
couth drapery, " tn as much grace as belongs
to washerwoman's tucked-up petticoat. To
give this inelegant effect, circular arrange
ment, full of whalebones, is worn round the
waist, and the upper skirt is looped to the belt
behind or on the hips. The only thing that
can be alleged in favor Of this ungainly device,
is that by contrast with its puffed drapery the
waist appears small. To suit the cut of the
dress-skirt, hoops are worn Of shape slightly
aattened at the sides, extending behind to carry
out the fullness OF the robe, which is entirely
in the back. A hoop, two and and quarter
yards round at the lowest spring, by this
means gives no larger appearance to the dress
than round hoop, half yard smaller, the
width being thrown in the train, where it is
needed. Waists reuers are the general style,
and the polonais is often made thus, and sleeve
less over dress Of pale striped silk. 4 loose
coat sleeve is the only one seen in fashionable

SCHOOL ExAMINAT1oN.--The examination OF
the school Of Mrs. DR.. Pinckney, in Aiken's
Row, which has been progressing for several
days past, closed yesterday with the examina-
tion of the senior class. Their proficiency in
the various branches of their academic course
was amply exemplifed by long, thorough
and exhaustive examination. In geology
particularly they did exceeding we'll
Professor Francis S. Holmes, of the Charles
ton College, who is the best authority we have
on such subjects in Charleston, was present,
and listened with attention and evident pleas
ure to the two hours review of the text book on
geology, through which Mrs. Pinckney carried
her scholars with show of justiiable pride in
the knowledge which they displayed, and he
declared himself astonished at the result of the
examination, which, he said, would have done
credit to graduating class at college.
The exercise in geology was but On example
OF the manner in which the whole examination
was conducted, proving clearly that tho object
aimed at and obtained by Mrs. Pinckney and
her able assistants, was thoroughness rather
than show. The senior class was the last Of
seven large classes that were examined, and,
when we reflect upon the amount of work per-
formed by the principal Of the school in this
arduous conclusion Of laborious session, VIC
cannot but consider that she deserves at least
as much praise as the young ladies who show

DEATH OF VALUABLE CITNENs.-Our COM
munity Yesterday suffered the loss of two OF its
old residents, who, without having been proml-
nent as public men, have passed through LIE
with honorable regulations and uoblemished
names.
The late James n. Jadson had reached the
full period allotted to man, having passed three
score years and ten. He was an excellent spe-
cimen of the old Carolina gentleman, pure III
character, and high-tonedi in his Dealings ana
was for many wears the head of the house OF
James H. Ladson & Co., now represented by
the firm of W. C. Bee u Co. This firm carried on
an extensive aud lucrative business as rice and
cotton factors. He was also q bank director,
and for most of his life leading member OF
st. Michael's Episcopal Church OF our city,
where he stood foremost in christian virtues
and active beneyolence.
The late NJ. D. Strobel was also reared as
merchant, and much OF his early life was spent
in the large cotton house of John Robinson d
Son. Subsequently he engaged in banking,
and at the commencement of the war was
cashier Of the Farmers and Exchange Bank.
His high integrity and strict fidelity in every
position that he was called upon to 6n, won him
many and firm friends. Mr.. Strobel had reached
middle life, being about fifty years of age.
OBsEoUrEs OF ALDERMAN S. G. CoURTENAY.-
The various societies of which Mr.. Courtenay
was member, met at his late residence yes
terday morning to join the funeral cortege.
The sad procession left the house few mill
utes before 10 O'Clock, and proceeded through
Broad, Meeting and Wentworth streets, to
Grace Church. 1t was headed by the chief and
assistants of the fire department, followed by
the different companies according to the date
of their organization, with the exception of
the Etna, whose members walked Immediately
behind the hearse. Next to the flremen came
o large number of citizens, and then the hearse
attended by the pail bearers, eight in number,
who were chosen from the different societies
as follows R. M. Alexander, E. f. Sweegan,
E. Willis, John F. O'Nein, NJ. 2. O'Connor, E.
W. Marshall, E. McConkey, and A. T. Smythe.
After the hearse came long line of carriages

church, seats were assigned the family and the
Mayor and Aldermen in front of the pulpit, the
pall-bearers being near the body, while the
6remen and the members of the different So
cieties filed to the right and left Of the aisles.
The funeral services were read by the Rev. G.
P. Gadsdeu, the Rev. C. C. Pinckney, the rector
OF the church, being absent at the consecra-
ton of Bishop Beckwith, OF Georgia. The
church was crowded with the sorrowing friends
of the deceased. At the conclusion of the ser
vices, in which the choir participated, the body
was borne back to the hearse and taken to the
family burying ground at Magnolia for inter-
ment. The day was rainy and disagreeable,
but the very large attendance at the funeral
testified the community's sense of the loss it
had sustained.

they in returns of a business where justice and
honor were bartered away, obtained the great
gains which constitute the fruits of peace and
mutual intercourse,-had they in exchange for
their moral obligations obtained a goodly por-
ton of material advantages, then certainly
the future state Of Europe would have been
still more uncertain than it is at present.
Therefore it can not otherwise than afford
cause of satisfaction, coupled with hopeful ex-
pectations. to know that the Western Powers
have had the opportunity of gaining those ex-
IperienceS which the events of the last years
have afforded; it is these experiences which
must ultimately awaken them and force them
to resume the mission which they 50 shameless
ly deserted.
The unfortunate war which four years ago
was waged in South Jutland between two Ma
tions SO pitiably unequal in point Of strength,
and which terminated in the capture of Dybb0l
and Alsen and the occupation Ot lu land, gave
rise, as was to be expected, To another and
more extensive conflict in Europe. 1t is a fact
established by History, that il is with states
and nations as with single individuals the first
successful attempt towards unlawful acquisition
of power or property produces the next attempt,
and SO in progression, until a day OF retrihuti0n
and puts an end to an operation, the per-
p|etuatiun Of Which can not in the long run be
in the limited social circles, nor in the
more extensive socip les. The Pru>Sian Mon
.tarchy has acquired its eminence and Influence
in Europe by a series of political crimes, which
lall belong to the modern historical period. In
the commencement Of the Ijlh century the
Emperor SigiSmund conveyed he Margraviate
of Brandenburg to a member of the uoherzoll-
.ern line. In the following century this amiablo
family embraced Professionalism. In the early
part of the 18th century the HohcnzOlltrns got
the Duchy of Prussia from the King of Poland,
an embodiment for which one of thai noble race
evinced his gratitude in a sublime and touching
manner during that political transaction called
the division of Poland. After receiving the
Duchy Of Prussia, the HOhenzollerns continued
withal to be less than the Electorate Houses of
.SaXony and Bavaria. In the year 1900 Frede-
rik William achieved his great object: bis son
the title of King, but he did not there
by gain more power or more respect. Louis
the Fourteenth considered him in the same light
as one Of his domesticS. He died a natural

Since 1864, a year full of lamentablc events
for Scandinavia, nothing has traESpired that
could mlti gate the sentence pasSSd on the Great
Powers OF Europe on account Of the peItidy
they Ommite in the cause of International
Law generally, but more particularly in refer
ence to a little brave Nation, whose rights they
had engaged to defend against the cncroach-
.ments of It's stronger foe. But much has trans

convincing proof of The Short-SishtedncSs of the
policy of those Powers, much too that mu t

If thereby he spared for a time those sacrifices
which are always required in the pursuit of a
good cause, is the worst Of all vain wisdom !;
it is Il business like sort of politics which
entails something more and something else be-
sides moral responsibility. BY allowing the
Giant-Tribes Of Prussia to despoil Denmark
and to take to themselves a goodly portion Of
the Danish Realm, contrary to all existing
international laws, the Western Powers of
Europe have deserted the cause of justice and

as dishonarably, as the d~espoiIer himself did
when Selling South Jutland. Prussia bought
"a portion of Denmark for the expenses of a
war, the chances of which Prussia had rightly

~leSsness of those two Powers, with whom rests
the responsibility for the protection and main
tenance of international Law in Europe and
these two Powers, France and England, sold a.
portion Of Denmark for a peace, the results of.
which were equally as badly calculated by
them, as the deed they committed was morally
deplorabIe. But it is better for those two
Powers that they have been sadly mistaken,
than that they should haze acted from right
calculation, although their mistake has e~ntailed
on Europe four long years of want and distress,
and may perhaps be productive of still greater
su%fferings to the Nations of Europe ere the.
crime be expiated and moral confidence be re-

How TO ADVERTISE. An advertisement is not
always valuable in proportion TO the space it occu-
pies. short advertisement inserted four times
is better than long one A prominent ad-
vertisement inserted once twice will be effective,
if followed up by steady card giving your busi-
ness and address. Don't take down your sign in
dull times-people read newspapers all times of the
year. If business admits of it, several small ad-
vertisemenu, with your name repeated every time,
will avail mere than the same collected, with your
name in only once. Don't fear to have small ad-
vertisement by the side Of larger competing; the
big one can't eat it up. Small advertisements and
plenty of them lie good rule; were all babies
