LEE MEMORIAL. Notwithstanding the uu-
favorable weather for several days past the
''entertanmcnt" for the benefit of the Lee
Memorial Association was we'll attended by an
appreciative audience. At the earnest sollcl-
tation of those having at heart the success OF
the attempt to raise funds that Alexandria
might contribute her mite to mark the hnal
resting place of Gen. Robert K. Lee, the
tablcaux, in design, material and arrangement
were most kindly undertaken by the Sisters of
the Sacred Hear, aided by Misses Dora Roach,
Emma Summers and Florence Purcell The
rente, uniform kindness and interchangeable Ell
forts of these ladies in behalf of the object,
have left their indclible impression upon most
grateful hearts. The eXquistey chaste beauty
of each tableau proclaimed at once its origin IN
the heart OF refinement and plety, to each APP
prcciatve mind. Ia all the fair young group
ofliving pictures there was not one inefficient
character; each acted we'll her part When, ow-
ing to a series of disappointments, musical aid
was almost dcspaircd Of, the members OF st.
Mary's Choir, through the generous Influence
of Mr. Stoutenburg, consented to lend them
selves to the occasion, although there was then
but time for one rehearsal of such pieces as they
had practiced together for Church service. The
performances, vocal and Instrumental, spoke too
cloauently Tor itself to be tanned into the Ian
guagc of culngy, while the kindly feeling which
prompted it will not soon, or easily be forgot
ten. The sweet voices and clear cnunciation,
combined with simplicity Of manner and dignity
of department of Misses Mary Ball and Edith
Hcchew in siuging'the ''In Memoriam, elicit
ed warm admiration. Earnestly, heartfelt thanks
are herein rendered for the generous assistance
received repeatedly for this work at the hands
Of the proprietors OF the Mansion House.

THE WEATHER. y csterday was pre-emincnt-
" bad day. The snow Of the night before
turned early in the morning into rain, which
continued all day. covering the sidewalks with
sush nearly two inches deep, and converting
the cutters into brooks and running streams.
The streets we're almost entirely deserted, and
though the church bells rang out their sum-
mons but few even Of the righteous responded,
and at night services in most OF the churches
we're suspended. 1t cleared off during the
night, however, and the sun came out bright
and warm this morning, and the day has been
delighful-possessing additional charms from
the contrast with those which have preceded
it lately
