THE humorous aud original traves-
ty on Brougham's burlesque Of "Poca-
hontas" by j. II. Rathbone. of Wash
ington, D. c., was produced at Ford
Opera-house, in that city, on the even
ing of June 6, to a very large and fash
ionable audience, for the benefit of the
Centennial fund of the Knights of Py-
thias of the District Of Columbia, and
proved complete success. The prin-
cipals in the cast, although not now in
the profession, have nearly all "fretted
their hour" The author, an accom-
plished musician and VOCALIST. and foun.
derx< the order OF the vKnights of Py-
thias, assumed the title-role, with really
fine effect. He was ably supportedby T.
Harry Donehue, as King Powhatan, and
his makeup and acting of the part were
excellent, as were the Rolf of Geo. d.
Scott, the Lieut.. Brown Of II. F.. Leach,
and the John Smith of A. J. Rice. The
burlesquc is replete with humor and To-
cal hits, and bubbles over with choice
selections from the most popular music
of the day. The solos. duets. trios and
quartets were finely rendered"

The terrible fate Of Custer and his
gallant three hundred adds another trag-
ic chapter to the great book Of border
events, whose beginning dates from the
earliest settlements Of our country,
whose end viii be only when the In
dams as race shall have become ex-
tinct.
The horrors of the Modoc campaign
are yet fresh in our memories. The
historic Lava Beds, Indian cunning baf-
fling the skill Of our soldiery for SO long
4 time, savage maIignity and treach-
cry eliminating in the death Of the
brave Candy and others whose mis-
sion was honorable treaty and peace
all these are still remembered with a
shudder. Their parallels in device and
atrocity are only found in the deeds
that compose the history Of the Dark
and Bloody Ground" or among those
which mark the broody tracks Of the
treacherous Mingoes, decending from
their: Great Lake Businesses upon the
unsuspecting tribes and settlements Of
the Susquehanna and Allegheny.
So with this heart-rending story of
Custer and his men, which has been
sprung upon the country so suddenly,
and which is being read amid tears of
sorrow and calls for vengeance, from
one end of the land to the other. Some
may find Its parallel in the history of
Leonidas and his three hundred; some
may seek. for like sacrifices amid the
annals of the Scottish Chiefs or Polish
Patriots. But it is only when We turn
to the thrilling chapters Of our old Ror-
der history that We read and re-read, in
intensified form, the bloody story Of
Rose Bud and Big Horn Rivers. Gus
ter and his three hundred, ambushed by
a willy foe and melting away in death
before odds rendered doubly and terri
bly, formidable by bewildering shrieks
and steathly mode Of fighting, recall
with vivid effect the tragedy Of Brad
docks Field, whose details are SO
graphically a:-d fully narrated in that
wonderful book, "Our Western Border
One Hundred Years Ago"
Or if other parallels be sought, they
abound in the same brilliant, stirring and
faithful volume; for Custer and Big
Horn, Candy and the Lava Beds, Mo-
doc and Sioux, are but repetitions, now
fainter now fiercer, Of Da!zell and
Bloody Run, Crawford and Battle Island,
Harmer and the Mann Towns.
The new story, whether OF victory or
defeat, massacre on escape, cunning or
adventure, trcachefy or dash, hardship
or retreat, is but an epitome of the old
filled with its quaint and primitive por-
traitures, haloed about by thrilling ira
ditions, and sanctified to us by the facts
that our fathers were part Of it and
these our dwelling places were scenes
in the midst Of it.

DRAMATic AHD Musical ENrERrAiS-
NEsr.-A dranstic and musical enter
tainnens win be held at the Hall Of the
st. Mary's r. r. & Debating Society
on "Wednesday, The 2nd Of August next,
4 part Of the proceeds Of which win be
applied to the enlargement Of the Soci-
ety's Library. The entertainment win
be given by noted Musical and Dra-
matte Corps Of Washington City which
has kindly consented to oficiate in the
Society's behalf on the occasion. Full
programme Of particulars will be issued
on Saturday next and circulated through
out the County, and it is hoped that the
members of the Society in the different
districts and the reading community,
generally, will interest themselves TO
secure a remunerative audience. The
entertainment will be Of a FIRST class
character, the corps bringing their cos
tunes and scenery with them, and we
feel ourselves fully warranted in saying,
that none who may patronize it will re-
gret the small outlay il costs to witness
it. We append the following potices
of previous efforts of this corps, the FIRST
Of which is taken from the Washington

the day; and should Messrs. Rathborn,
Donehue, Scott and Leach decide to in-
troduce it at some Of the frst-class va

and Philadelphia, as We learn they think
seriously Of doing. il will without doubt
prove a paying card for botL them and
the management. The farce of "Box

Messrs. Sailer and Gie>burne and Mrs.

Death of Senator Caperton.

Senator Allen Taylor Csperton of West
Virginia died at Washington on Wednes-
day evening of "angina pectoris," brought
on by the hot weather. He was fine
specimen of the old Virginia gentleman, GO
years of ge,with long white beard, which
gave him a patriarchal appearance. Be-
fore the war he was an ardent wing, and
although he was member of the con-
federate states senate, and has since been a
secession democrat, he cherished warm
feelings for all who had also supported
Clay and Webster. His country home in
the mountains of West Virginia was the
scat OF unstinted hospitality, and he is
deeply lamented by large number of per.
sonal friends, including those with whom
he has become acquainted since he entered
the senate in 1876 His remains were taken
to West Virginia yesterday.
