Miss Anna Dickinson has temporarily
ceased lecturing on the social evil and
has gone solidly into politics of the
Radical order. She lectured in Chicago
recently, and displayed the "bloody
shirt" like veteran outrage-maker. 4
report of her lecture says: Miss Dickin-
son then went on to speak of the poverty
at the South and their feeling to the
North, as she had observed in her recent
visit there. Southerners were looking
for reform, a new party, and then they
expected compensation for their liberated
slaves. But II was the duty of the peo-
pie Of the North to see. no change in
party. It was necessary to keep the
party that secured victory for liberty in
power and hold 1t, over the heads of
the South. NMissN Dickinson closed by
speaking of her visit to the graves Of
IL, 600 soldiers in Salisbury and $4,000
In Andersonville, and the message she
resolved to carry to the North from the
fallen heroes who fought for liberty was,
tnat liberty was still at stake. - 9t

THE SCHrETzEN Picnic The Schuet-
zcn-Nercin Club celebrated their first
anniversary, q, the platz, yesterday, by
a picnic. dancing and shooting at tar
gets, and other festivities. The partici-
pants began to assemble at 10 o'clock,
and by noon large number hnd congre-
gated, and all went gaily into the various
nmusements, evidently determined to
enjoy themselves. At 2 T. NJ, dinner
was served, and it was dealt with in q
manner creditable to the appetite and
with full justice to the dishes. No one
complained-evcrybody was satisfied
and there is some left there yet The
committee did their duty to perfection,
md were constantly in attendance upon
tho slightest wish of lady or gentleman.
The walters were oil polite, obedient
and attentive. After satisfying healthy
appetite, the ladies and gentlemen re-
paired to the capacious and convenient
hall, to trip the light fantastic toe, and
up to dusk, when we took our departure,
the interest in this celebration had not
diminished in the least, but rather an
evident intention prevailed to keep up
the sport until the night was we'll gone.
Much credit is due the officers, com
mittees and members in general Of the
club for the great success of the first an
nual picnic. Suffice it to soy that all
wished that there were two annual pio-
MICS in tho year. Mr.. E. F. Hei was
chosen king, having made the best shot.
He did the same thing in Augusta. We
saw among the visitors Prof r. Senior,
of the Charleston Schuetzen Club

Madame Christine Nilsson-Rouzand
has set curious fashion, by which she
leaves an audience its choice of de-
nouement She hns provided no less
than three endings to Ambrose Thomas
cpern OF "Mignon." In the French per-
formances, Mignon marries Wilhelm
Meistcr. AS this would be very ridicu-
lous to the Germans, especially those
acquainted with Goethe's heroine, and as
they would be sure to violently condemn
any such liberty taken with her. when
"A1lgnon" is given in Germany the he
roine dies. Recently, Nine. Nilsson has
been making tour Of Belgium, and
giving "Mignon." AS Belgium lust now
occupies sort of intermediate place be-
tween France and Germany, and the
audiences in the Belgian theatres are
made up mainly of French and Ger
mans, Nine. Nilsson hos shrewdiy pro-
vided denouement which suits both
classes and gives them freedom of choice.
AS the curtain falls, Mignon sinks into
the arms of Wilhelm Meister and quietly
reposes there. The German, if he so
choose, can assume that she dies there,
and go away satisfied. The Frenchman,
on the other hand, is Mt liberty to infer
that she swooRs away only to recover
and ever after live happily ns Mrs. w.
Meister. The Belgian, being IL neutral,
we presume takes the neutral view, and
regards Mignon ns neither dead or mar
ried, but indefinitely reposing in n
comntose state upon Wilhelm Mcister's
manly breast.

NOT AFRAID OF DEATH-At O'clock,
yesterday evening, Ouachita, the wound
ell Cheyenne chief ut the barracks,
seemed to be in sinking condition. He

arms and closed his eyes to await the
result. After waiting few moments, lie
opened his eyes and seemed very much

and still stronger hopes nre entertained

-Se:A Washington letter, ,a1Iuding TO tie
action of several Republican County
Conventions, in Ohio, it1 lpronouncing
emphatically against tie third term
soheme, says; THAT the Ohio Conyen-
ton will take this action is looked apon
nov asvery certain. It is aIso thought
here that the efforts which have been
at work to prevent tho Pennsylyania Re-
publican Convention, which meets ON
Wednesday, from making any ,allusion
to the third term. will certainly fail. The
example set by Pennsylvania and Ohio
in this matter will, without doubt, be
followed by the Republican Conventions
of most of the other States which may be
called together in advance of the meeting
of the National Republican Convention.
A rumor was circulated among the politi-
clans around tho hotel; to-day, that q
letter from tho PresiG ent, on the third
term, which would settle all doubts,
would be produced at the Pennsylvania
Convention. Although some affected to
have confidence in this statement, the
great probability is that there is no
foundation for it..

FOUNDATION OF ROME E--While we are
celebrating centenninls in this country,
eternal Rome, on the 21st of April, had
n commemoration in honor of the foun-
dation of that city. 1t is believed that
Rome is now 2, 629 years old. The 21st
Of April, mt any rate, is the date set apart
in the Roman calendar for this commem-
oration, though the subject is open to
dispute, like the date Of the NIecklenburg
declaration of independence. But there
is no denying the fact that, whether
Rome will ever have an end or not, she
once had beginning. The origin of
Rome is lost in lthe mists Of antiquity,
but the Romans date from the time when
turn up tho burrows around the hnse Of
what nfterwnrd became known rs the
"Palatine Hill," on which there WAS ori-
ginnlly Pefasgic town, one Of the races
which formerly inhabited Greece, and
who were finally in Italy reduced to the
condition of serfs or united with their
conquerors to form new people, the
Latins. Perhaps no such person rs Ro-
mulus ever founded Rome, md perhaps,
If he did, it was not on the 21st of April,
but the Romans commemorate it all the
same. The primitive act which laid the
foundation of power which came Mt
last to rule over 80, 0GO, 900 of the popuia-
ton of the world, and to exist in the
memories and admiration of nil genera
tions since, WAS celebrated in Rome on
the 2lst ultimo, and on TINT night NIL the
ruins in the region of the Roman forum
were illuminated with colored fires No
one in Rome or the world has ever sug-
gested TINT the uncertainty of the date
should have prevented the celebration.
