ORPHANS CONCERT AT ASSEMBLY HALL
There is to be novel entertainment at as.
sem5ly Hall on next Wednesday night. 1t
will be a concert given by thirty orphans
Of Confederate soldiers from the asylum at
Lsuderdale Springs, Mississippi, an insti-
tuition commended by such distinguished
so ltherners as General Joseph e. Johnston
and the hon. Jefferson Davis. The chill
dren will reach here by the 2:20 train on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad on Wednesday, under the supeEin-
tendence of the Rev. A. D. Trimble, of
Tennessee, and the Rev. Joseph E. Carter,
OF Kentucky. 1t is expected that by means
of concerts such as the one above announced
the orphans will raise il considerable sum
for the benefit Of their asylum. Apart from
the attractions of the entertainment, the
fact that the beucficiaries are the orphans of
Confederate soldiers ought to cause Assem-.
bly, Hall to be crowded on wednesday
night.
