We are happy to announce that Mr.. and
Mrs. }. r. ScorT, who will be remembered
as giving delightful evenings entertainment
in this place about year since, will visit US

who desire the success of histrionic art, over

The following are few of the hundreds Of
complimentary notices by the press:
ssOf Mrs Scott, we shall not speak, only to
say that she defes criticism. In posture, ges-
ture, manner, voice, intonation, enunciation,
pathos, grace, dignity, and admirable simpli-
city, she is simply perfection personified.-
Daily Democrat, Sedaha, Mo.
"Probably few elocutionists on the stage
could surpass Mr. Scott's faultless delivery of
this beautiful poem (Drifting.) Every atti-
tude and gesture was that of perfect grace,
which, with the dreamy, musical modulations
of his rich voice, served to hold his listeners
spell l-bound. daily Journal, st. Louis.

Congress is the author OF the first highly orig

by nature retiring sort ofpersonage, was the
author of the resolution denouncing Mr.. Dan,

legations in debased coin.
The nomination gave the Convention more
trouble than anything else There were nc
combinations-no adroit wire-pulling. Old
astute politicians, like George McCook and
Ross Alexander, knew that the nomination
was mere form, the honor of it not worth
the .shekles' which would be demanded in
the canvass. So McCook declined.
The Belmont delegation which was being
harangued vigorously by DIR. Cook of Bridge
port, and Bob Swaney, determined to support
Ross Alexander, when he came upon the
scene and declined peremptorily. giving as
reason that large private interests and few
assignment cases demanded his attention.

Mr.. Lawrence when nominated by delegate
