CAPTAIN BRAIN.-The record Of the
Confederate navy is N of the most bril-
liant made by the war, on either side.
Every sssmsn with an ounce of brains,
and who carries his heart in the right
place, admits this; no matter whether his
hoIs5 is North or South. And the time
viii come when every American Will be
proud of IL. What sailors other than
American, could have performed such
achievements as those which now threaten
the peace of the world in an effort to ad-
just heir results? No other country in the
world could have given us such seamen
as Semmes, Msfit and Brain. For daring,
courage and real heroism thsy have never
been surpassed. Neither the nsvies COM
mSnded by Van IIump,Or Blake, or Mel
son could afford parallel to these msn, who
united to bravery the chivalry Of the
"Knights of the Round Table" Their
story in years to come viii be read with
wonder and smszsment. To heEr it now

an opportunity, The brave sailor who
"cut out" his craft from under the guns

orsbIe sobriqUet Of the '1sst prisoner of
war, is Just the man to tell sn interest
ing story, and to make an occasion menu
orsble for the interest 1t will excite in
scenes and battles that have passed into
history. Not to hear Captain Brain, the
brave and fearless sailor, will be q lifelong
regret, while to be OF those who are of the
crowd who will wait on him tonight, viii
be q lifelong pleasure and boast, The
GresnlaW Opera house must be crowded.
