Judge fuckers Lecture Tonight.

The supeTgenerOus rain last evening pre-
vented the delivery Of lecture on the soil,
climate and products of the tropical belt of
Florida by Judge J. Wofford Tucker, for
merly of South Carolina. The Judge is not
a professional lecturer, but is on his way
west to attend to private business and has
been induced, here as he was in Columbus,
Ga, Mobile, Ala, Jacksonville in this
State and elsewhere, to tell the public
what he knows from observation about the
Land of Flowers in which he has establish
ed his new-found home; and if the press
generally is to be credited, where he has
spoken before, and il is, lie combines an
interesting subject with the interesting de-
livery of it, due probably to the fact that be-
fore the war he practiced law and was at one
time the President of college South. Hav-
ing been constrained TO visit Bermuda and
remain there for several years he naturally
sought climate similar to that of Bermuda
on his return TO the United States and con-
sequently he settled on the south side of
Lake Monroe, Florida, upper st. Johns
which runs through the lake-the lakes
area is about thirty square mileS) hundred
miles south of Mandarin, where Mrs. Stowe
lives. and about seventy-fve miles
rapidly increasing, is composed of repre-
sentatives from nearly every State in the
Union and several nationalities. Its origin
was due to the disturbance of the cotton
States industries during the late war. As
the lecturer resided in Bermuda several
years, is naturally inclined to scientific in
vestigations of all kinds, studied
the cultivation of the precious fruits
of the tropics and subsequently, the
adaptability of the tropical belt Of Florida
for the production of those fruits, he is
particularly well qualified to make COM
parsons ON the subject, give his opinions
about and experiences in the cultivation of
them, in Florida, and ought to be listened
to by all who take an interest in the full
development Of all the resources of Ameri-
ca. Again, as the lecture is for a charita-
BILE purpose "a part of the proceeds will be
for the benefit Of the Protestant Orphan
ASylum) the patronage ought to be large.

The Grand Mass az the Cathedral.

As announced in the UNION AND AMERI
CAN Of Sunday morning, C. NJ. Won
Webers Mass was sung at the Cathedral.
The church was crowded, Of course. The
chorus consisted of eighteen voices, and the
orchestra of sixteen pieces, besides the or
gan. All the parts were we'll executed.
Miss Helen Haslock, Of Edgefield, sang " ct
incarnatus est" most sweely. The Sane
tus and Benediction, quartette, were well
rendered by Mrs. Beauman, Miss Kate
Greener, and Messrs. Schneider
and Gray. "The "Agnus Del" sung by
Miss Kate Greener, the excellent alto, was
certainly beautiful. The solos by Mrs.
Beauman we're also artistically executed.
Mr.. Molengraft was in the choir, but unable
to sing in consequence of severe cold; his
presence, however, was valuable. The
orchestra did remarkably well. Mr.. Beau
man presided at the organ, in manner
worthy Of himself and that is saying much.
We hear this excellent choir viii soon re-
hearse another Grand Mass.

The Orphans Fair.


Masonic Hall was not entirely deserted
last night, as some might suppose, consid-
ering that the ram was falling in torrents
during the day, and up to the very hour
when the hall should have been well filed.
The ladies having charge Of the several
tables were present, with a number of their
assistants; several gentlemen also dropped
in, and after investing their spare change,
Bush's Band was sent for, and the COM
pany enjoyed themselves stripping it on the
light fantastic tOe' for an hour or two,
when all returned TO their homes, 10 dream
of the golden Cor rather greenback) profits
of the morrow.
Notwithstanding the bad weather several
donations were sent in, among them one
from Col. L. Z. McClanahan, and another
from Messrs. Ryan d Ryan. Miss Mary
Olwill donated her doll to the orphans. We
hope she may win it again.
We hope the public will be on hand early
tonight, % right to business, and help the
ladies TO close early in order TO prepare for
the ball on Thursday night, at the School
house on Vine street, decidedly, and by all
odds, the best hall in the city. The dona-
ton Of Ryan Il Ryan was to the soda stand
of Messrs. Mccormack & Brennan who re-

Among the visitors TO the Fair OF Satur-
day afternoon were some of the young lady
pupils of the Howard High School, belong
ing to the class of Miss Helen HasloCk. At
ter inspecting the principal articles on the
different tables, Miss Haslock treated the
company to some good music on the Stanley
& Sons piano, and also rich vocal music.
After one or two solos, Miss Helen and her
sister Nora, by request, sang "Drift my
bark" very sweetly. We are glad to say
the young ladies not only enjoyed the visit
themselves, but placed the company present
under obligations to them for very pleas
ant hour.
THE GOVERNOR.
The attendance at the ORPHANS Fair last
evening was confined almost exclusively to
those determined to stick to their guberna-
torial favOEites. A misuuderS' anding as to
opening and closing the polls delayed mat
ters until ten O'Clock. This being satisfac-
torily adjusted, the ladies stepped to the
pOlls-a plurality for Gov. Brown. At the
close of the voting, however, Gen. Quarles
had the lead, Gen. Cheatham and Gov.
Brown folloWin in the order named. The
earnestness displayed last evening indicates
that lively interest and spirited contest
will take place tonight. It will be worth
witnessing IS the ladies purpose exercising
the franchise while they may. The polls
will be OF ened at o'clock. repeating" is
admissible and expected. The injunction
is to ''vote early and often."

Sheltered from tanning sun,
And Kate is in the mill room,
Wishing her work was done.
Miss Maud is clothed in laces,
Soft aud creamy as silk,
With cheeks like blushing roses,
And hands like foaming milk.
While brown are Katie's fingers
Hardened and wan her face,
For burdens of dim SORROW,
Within her eyes you trace.
Miss Maud she fights the longings
Which e'er afflict the great,
But Kate knows nOught OF riches,
OF caste, or high estate.
Miss Maud consults her mirror
Each passing day with care,
Half dreading to find wrinkles
UpOn her forehead fair.
While Katie's cheek is pallid,
And dull her once bright eye,
She nightly writhes in torture,
And begs and prays to die.
And so the wheel keeps turning,
And so the great world goes,
While at each revolution,

And we so often wonder,
AS onward we are whirled,
If we shall meet with failures
When in the other world?

Great Britain.

LONDON, May 3l.-The Times, to-day, AZ
serts that there never has been any genuine
agreements between England and America
touching the Alabama claims. IL cannot help
thinking that il the Official kilograms on the
subject had been communicated directly to the
Foreign Minister Of The British Government
instead Of being filtered through medium, the
cha-n' which sepa rated them would have been
recognized long ago. With the correspondence
before Ia, concluded the Times, we must con.
slider TIE failure Of arbitration inevitable. We
may thank the American Senate for this. Had
it accepted the supplemental article without
amendment, our position would have been
awkward
In the House of Lords to- night the Ea.l Of
Derby urged the Government to produce the
text OF the supplemental article to the Treaty
OF Washington, with the Ssnate's amend.
ments. The House needed an understanding
of the present position Of the negotiation.
Earl Granville replied that the American
Congress would adjourn OH Monday. The
negotiations had not yet been brought to &
close; hence it would be impossible for tn.
Government to comply with the demand o
the h"bl., lord.
Earl Grey wished to know whether tn
Government would proceed with the 1rbitrs
ton if the indirect claims should not be with
drawn The country. he said, regarded tn
situation with great alarm.
Earl Granville declined TO answer this que.
ton.
