Rejected SuitOrs.

Wilter IN the Home journal says:
A woman never quite forgets the man
who has once loved her. She may not have
loved him; she may, indeed. have given him
the "NO" instead of the "Yes'' he hoped tor;
but the remembrance that he desired a
"Yes" always softens her thoughts of him,
and would make him, were he reminded of
il, a friend forever. There may be girls who
make jest of discarded suitors: but they
are generally very young. and the wooing
has been something that did not betoken
much depth of tenderness. There are mer-
cenary offers, too, that only awaken scorn
and hate in the woman wooed for money
and not for herself; but really to have
touched a mans heart is something not to
be forgotten while she lives. Always she
remembers how his eyes looked into hers;
how, perhaps, he touched her hand with
his, and how her heart ached when he
turned away without that which she could
not give him. She loves some one else.
Some other man has all the truth of her
soul-always has and always will have; but
she can not forget the man who turned
from her and went his way and came no
more. She is glad when she hears of his
success, grieved when she knows that he
has suffered, and when some day she hears
that he is married-she who has herself
been married long years, perhaps; she who.
at all events, would never have married
him-is she glad then! | do not know. A
woman's heart is a very strange thing. l
do not believe che knows herself Glad,
On, yes; and is his wife pretty and nicel
and then she says to herself that "he has
quite forgotten" and "tbat, of course. is
best"-snd cries little.

The acting contest is exciting our anna
teurs. Those who believe themselves likely
to be cast for leading parts are willing to
leave the matter to Mr.. Browne. The plan
most satisfactory would probably be one
already suggested. 1t is to let each one of
the clubs cast Julius Cesar from their
own n members, and play the tragedy
through on the same night, the club playin z
it best 70 wear the belt. The audience, par
ticularly on warm night, would not be
expected to stay beyond the third repre-
sentation, say fifteen acts of legitimate in
June; but the judges, who are to be paid
for their services. would remain until the
fall of the last Roman. In this way only
can the superiority of clubs be determined.
A tragedy might be slaughtered with a
picked nine, but such cast would not de
fine the status of any particular club, which
at this time s very important.

the receipts for the corresponding five

Colonel c. G. Sawtelle, quartermaster
United States army, addresses the New
York Sun as follows: Your Washington
correspondent in his telegraphc article in
your paper Of the twenty fourth instant,
does gross injustice, and for the second
time, to General Ingalls,, chief quartermas-
ter at these headquarters. The article
shows both ignorance and malice. General
Ingalls, has never provisioned any forts;
nor does it come within the scope of his
official duties to purchase provisions for
any purpose. Moreover, at the time of the
Virginius affair, he was in Egypt on an ex-
tended leave of absence. He belongs to
no ring in Washington or else where, and
is, as lie has always been, held in high re-
spect and esteem by all who have known
him"
