afternoon, stood at the entrance Of one of
the large London railway-stations. She was
trying to find customers among the
gentlemen who were hurrying along to
catch the trains that would take them from
busy, smoky London to their pleasant
homes. Most of them never saw the little

the hungry look Of The poor child arrested
him, and he remembered q bag of biscuits
which his little daughter had given him
that morning for his luncheon, but which
he had been too busy to eat. So he took
them out Of his pocket, and gave them to

some biscuits for you" She took them
without one word Of thanks, which rather
surprised the gontloman, and he turned 10

with the biscuits still in her hand, her eyes
full %oftears, aad he heard her say to herself,

CULPEPER COUNTY.
ICorrcspoudence of the Richmond Dispatch

CuI.PEPER, VA, June 13, 1876. BE-
Since the dispersion Of the crowds at
tracted to Culpeper by the Baptist "Jllne
meeting" our town has seemed wonder
fully dull. However, the hotels and board
lighthouses are beginning now to ill up
with summer visitors, and business is rather
more lively.
Friday the 9th was observed here as me-
morial-day. In the afternoon all the stores
were closed, schools all gave holiday, and
at 5 O'Clock assembled in the yard OF old
St. Stephens Protestant Episcopal church.
From there, headed by the Culpeper Cornet
Band, long procession OF men, women,
and children slowly marched out to the lit
tie obscure and neglected corner wherein
lie the bones Of some hundreds OF our
southern dead. After the graves had been
decorated with flowers, General j. G. Field
delivered most eloquent and feeling ad-
dress; after which the procession returned
to Cuipeper. The condition OF the econ
federate cemetery" at Culpeper, whose
neglect and decay reign supreme, is cry
ing disgrace to the whole South.
Culpeper's new enterprise-iron forln-
dry--will soon be in successful operation.
There will be a county convention on the
10Th to elect delegates to Leesburg, the OBJ
iect OF which is to nominate candidate to
represent this congressional district. Mr..
L. l.. Lewis is the most prominent candi-
date, and probably will be the Republican
nominee.
A little son Of Hon. James Barbour met
with severe accident yesterday, falling
from cherry-tree. He was picked up in
sensible, but though badly bruised it is
thought no serious injury will result.

The Cincinnati Convention.

The Convention yesterday adopted plat
form which congratulates the country upon
the extirpation OF slavery and the enfran-
chisement of the negro; brazenly declares
that the Republican party is the faithful
defender of popular government; pro
nounces in favor Of the earliest possible re-
turn to spece-payments; advocates some
thing like a civil-service reform and prompt
punishment for unfaithiul officials; recon-
mends a constitutional provision against APP
organizations for schools under sectarian
control; protests against further grants OF
land for railroad purposes; and asserts that
it is the duty Of the party to encourage i'm
migration.
The Chinese question is touched upon in
decisivcy, and no doubt unsatisfactory to
the Caliiornians. Some encouragement to
the advocates Of women's suffrage is given,
while there is an outspoken declaration in
favor OF suppressing the polygamous prac-
tees in Utah. The obligations OF the ma
ton to the soldiers OF the Union are duly
set forth, and sectional strife, OF which the
Republican party has been the father
wherever anything Of the kind has been
exhibited, Is deprecated. The platform
arraicns the Democratic party, and init
mates that it yet nourlshes treason to the
Government, and is therefore unworthy OF
trust. GRANT, now that he is about to be
remanded to private life, is rewarded with
some choice words expressive Of confidence
and respect. 3.
The prospect of united South" sup.
porting the Democratic nominees is NOT
pleasing. Hence they take occasion to warn
our people that united South" will be
regarded by the Radicals as only little bet
than a new Confederacy. H.. ..
One Of the delegates, Mr.. DAVIS, OF Texas
in stating his objections to the financial
plank, thought the resolution OF the com,
mit,ee Gin effect only RENTED the question
"inyolyed Presumption OF specie payment
"to the domain of promise" He and others
wanted ths Convention TO promise that
there should be no further delay in return
ing 10 specie-payment, but was not gratitied.
The platform was adopted rs reported from
the committee. {
The names of the most prominent candi-
dates for the presidency were then placed
before the Convention by eloquent speay'
ers. The opponents OF BLAINE, who eS-
hibited very considerable strength, after
several efforts won an adjournment till this
morning. Last night they were engaged in
attempts to form some combination to beat
BLAINE. They seem determined, and may
yet succeed in their purpose.
The possibility Of another than BLAINE
being nouIsnated.is DOW for the first time
admitted by his friends, The chairman Of
BLAINE delegation teiegraphed from Gin.
cinnat to Washington late last night that
things are uncertain"
Delays are dangerous to BLAINE.

Mr.. Grigsby, who has passed beyond the
age OF three score and ten, was so pale and
appeared so feeble that the audience was
not surprised when he asked the indulg-

to sit while he delivered his address.
But his strength seemed to increase
as he advanced, and he remained on
his feet during the whole two hours occu-
pied in the delivery. His historical sketch
displayed familiarity with the persons and
events connected with the college sixty years
ago and previously, and was clothed In
language so graphic and elegant, and

THE GRAND CONCERT AT ASSOCIATION HALL
MONDAY NIGHT.-Miss Ridenour and Miss
Fitzwlson design giving concert on Mon
day night at Association Hall. They VIII be
assisted by Mr.. John d. Redford, tenor ;
Mr.. Robert Chamberlayne, basso; and Mr.
Turner, accompanist.
The following very complimentary notice
OF Miss Ridenour is taken from one OF the
Baltimore papers:
The concert at Lehman's hall on Thurs
day evening was grand triumph for the
musical genius and talent Of this remarka-
BILE Young lady. The rendering Of some OF
her favorite pieces was in her happiest style.
That of "'l Follow Thee" and "Ruth and
Naomi" elected a double encore, to which
she kindly responded. On one OF the
occasions to which she yielded to the
spontaneous applause OF the enthusi-
astc audience, she reappeared and sang
with great effect that inimitable song,
+" Coming Through the Rye" In short,
her bird-lile voice is as perfectly modulatcd
as that Of Jenny Lind in the palmiest days
of her career. Her merits in voice are
heroic and truthful, and challenged the
wonder and admiration Of all who heard
her on that occasion. Perfectly calm and
seli-possessed, one almost forgot that this
young artist was blind. We are gratitied to
hear that she will give concert for her
own benefit at an early day, when it is hoped
the spacious ball will be crowded.
