told elequently the story of his "oozing cour-
age" Jefferson has benefit tonight, in which
he will appear in "The Spitfire," and "a Reeu-
lar Fix" two OF the farces in which he appears
to great advantage, and his son Charles win
make his first appearance before q Washington
audience as "Diggory, in "The Specter Bride

"GAIL HAMILTON" whose piauant version
of her quarrel with her publishers is one of the
literary sensations OF the day, is just now at
tracing a good deal of attention, in q quiet
way, in Washington society. Like Anna Dick
inson, she discards all puffs, mats, rats. braids
and switches, and wears her yellowish hair cut
rather short and tossed back from her brow in
an unrestrained and pleasant way that contrasts
favorably with the elaborately mads-up eaigaons
by which she is usually surrounded in a social
gathering. In size and form she is also much
like the "gentle Anna" particularly in a back
or side view; but here the similarity ceases. In
feature and expression of face she will not COM
pare with the Quaker oratress. But she makes
up for any supposed deficiency in these respects
by unquestioned tongue and pen power.
