cB- The following is taken from the cor-
respondence of the Phila. Press from Atlantic
City, dated August 18th, 1874;
" Not the least noticeable among the enter
tainments of the season are the Sunday even
ing Sacred Services of Love, - conducted by
Prof. Everest. Mr.. Cauffman, whose sing
ing has been the subject of general remark
here since he first appeared in the concerts
given, is gifted man. His voice Is of great
volume and has rich, smooth, mellow tone
that is the delight and admiration of all who
hear him sing. Nature has done much for
him, and art has SO rounded and finished his
voice that one hardly knows which most to
admire, his organ or his method. He has the
rare good taste to know tho points where
art and nature meet, and cannot fail to have
a brilliant future, for it is very seldom that
one hears a voice combining in 80 marked Il
degree sweetness and power. He is at present
studying under Professor Everest

eB- Below are some of the points of a good
voice, the observance of which viii enable any
one interested to form tolerably fair estimate
Of a vocal performance :
LIST. The tones must vibrate full in the front
Of tie mouth. This gives them clear resoll-
ant quality, free from cloudiness and stiffness.
ed. All the tones of the voice must have
roundncss and depth, no matter how high or
low they extend.
Sd. The vowcls must be correctly shaded
and the consonants articulated. Bad articula-
ton is good proof of imperfect training.
We invite the application of these principles
10 tie performances of the solo at the
Holiday concerts feeling sure that all will be
interested in the perfection of tone and meth
cd, which they exhibit.

A BRILLIANT CRITIc.-Tbe editor of the

and calls us to account as follows
1.-THE Lambeftville Record tells of man
who chad his barn struck with lightning and
destroyed" We don't believe it. The barn
may have been destroyed by lightning, but we
cannot believe that the owner had anything to
do with it."
If he will refer to Webster's Dictionary he
will find thatAape, (of which had is the imp.
and p. p.,) has six different uses the second OF
which is given as :" To possess, as something
which appertains to, is connected with or af-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The campaign for the Texas Pacific railroad aid bill will commence during the coming week. Col. Scott was in the city. The prospects for the passage of the bill have been mate rially improved recently. It is evident that Col. Scott's agents are actively at work. The Assistant Secretary of the In- teriOr writes the House committee on pub lie lands that the Atlantic and Pacific rail- road company have not forfeited their land grant, having until July 2 to com plete the fifty miles of railroad required by their charter, therefore it is believed that the committee will report adversely upon the bill before them, to forfeit the lands. It cannot be doubted but that this decision greatly favors the chances of the Texas Pacific railroad scheme.
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-President ap- pointed George LOunt receiver of public moneys at Prescott, Arizona.
 Daughter of Senator Stewart of Nevada, married to Lieut.. Hooker last night. Pres ident Grant and nearly every distinguish ed official were in attendance. Wedding reception was a magnificent affair.
 The bill reported by Senator Kelly to- day, provides that government guarantee to pay , per cent. interest on bonds Texas and Pacific railroad company to extent of SS000 per mile for ten years, for distance not exceeding seven hundred miles, for which company is to transport U. $. mails, army and Indian supplies free forever. Committees written report accompanying bill shows that mail and army service now cost the government S34l ,7l4 per an mum. Government outlay for interest on cost bonds would amount to S2S0,000 per year for ten years only, and the govern ment would in twenty years save by con- struction of this road four millions.
 Report therefore argues that from vast benefits of general nature to country at large, the passage of this bill would re- suit in direct pecuniary advantage to the government.
 Ways and Means committee report in SanbOrn contract, releases Boutwell, and Richardson from all responsibility.
 A repeal of the contract law of 1872 has been recommended.
 WASHINGTON, May 6.-Appea1 publish ed in papers this morning states l42,000 people rendered homeless by flood in the south. $25,O0O worth of provisions needed daily.
