EN-. WHITAKER & Son, 94l Pennsylvania
avenue, favor us with LEE & SHEPARD's beau
tiiul edition of "Adrift in the Ice e-Fields," by
Capt. CHARLES W. HALL. This is a romance
In the life of winter sports in the Northlands.
1t attempts to chronicle the adventures and
mis4d ventures of a party of English gentle
men during the early spring, while shooting
ea-fowl on the sea-ice by day, together with
the stories with which they whiled away the
long evenings, each Of which is designed tc
illustrate some peculiar dialect or curious fea'
ture of the social life of our colonial neighbOrs
The work appears to be admirably
adapted 10 the instruction of our youth
iu the habits and privations as well as pleas
ures of life in the regions bordering upon
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. This section has
heretofore been too much neglected by those
who cater to our literary tastes, and we have
been left altogether in too great dependence
upon the details of dry fishery reports and oui
imagiuations for descriptions of the exciting
sports of the seal fisheries and the terrific
perils which ever and anon attend them
This book is written in fluent and entertain
ing style, and cannot fail to please and en-
tighten the boys Of America. Many of the
scenes described are beautifully illustrated
With cuts.

Notwithstanding the stormy evening, tho people
came In goodly numbers TO attend tho first presen-
talion Of the great modern comedy, Pink DominOs
at the National Manager Ford has put his best
foot forward, and given TO the Washington public
play that in our judgment equals The School for
Scandal" and surpasses.it insofar as the scenes,
incidents, situations and dialogue all relate TO the
present day II Is fun.prOvoking throughout.
There Is not one word spoken or action made that
will offend the mo,t iaAtidlous.
The distribution Of characters has been made
with much care, all the characters being deemed
especially suited for their parts. Miss Blanche Ford
as Rebeccd5 Miss Joyce, as Lady NdggagD; Miss
Maggie Mahon, as Sophia; Miss Richmond, as Miss
barron; and Mrs. Gernlon, as Mrs. Joskin 7ubbs,
make up the female characters Of the comedy.
Last evening each and every one Of these artists
did their utmost and for first performance did
excellently we'll Messrs James. Dalton, flanagan,
Denham, ksinfOrth, Mitchell, and Collier are the
representatives Of tho male characters and their
roles were in the main well played. This comedy
Is indeed comedy The audience seem 10 bo

while All those who have the blues or who ex
pect To catch that horrible complaint, should go 70

The men who engaged in aud carried on
the rebellion were the very best men in all
the land. With the highest and holiest resolve
that man eau ever make, they banded them
selves together as one man, and laid all on
their country's altar in the maintenance Of
her rights as given and guaranteed by the
founders of the Government. When blood
enough had been spilled, the very spirit of
rebellion laid in the dust, and the old ensign
with its stars and stripes once more waved
throughout the land, those same men, with
The same honor FURNISHED brighter than their
bayonets, came with the bitter lesson Of expe-
rience they had learned, to renew their allie
giance to united country.-Pensdcola (Fid.J
Herald.
We have no difference with these "very
best men in all the land 70 long as they
show works meet for repentance and evinct
good faith toward the laws and terms OF
reconstruction that followed the laying o.
the very spirit of rebellion in the dust :
but when they turn their Furnished arms
scarcely cooled from the fires of rebellion
upon the colored race, as they have done il
nearly every reconstructed State, they ar
not entitled to either confidence or respect
The wrongs and atrocities of rebellion can
not be forgotten so long as they are followed
up by line of bloody and murderous policy
that puts the blush Of shame upon tn,
checks of civilized humanity. We ar
heartily tired of this pretensive show o
pacifcation, which, covers dark chapter o
horrors

THE Democratic House Committee on Ex-
penditures by the Navy Department has noti-
fed Secretary THOMPSON that it still thirsts
for economy. He must reduce his estimates
The army and the navy have been living on
no pay and part pay during the last six
months and now these Democratic economic
ers, who have no stock in trade but what they
make by their pinch here and starve there v
policy, want these two arms of the public ser
vice to get along without any pay at all, we
suppose. But the worst feature of this whole
business is that these bungling Democratic
Legislators have dissipated all the good thai

MIR, sherman Gets "A Reminder.

Mr.. Secretary Sherman offered this gratuit-
Gus suggestion to a Richmond audience in the
speech he made there the other day: There
is one idea wish to leave with you. There is
fear resting in the minds Of the Northern
people in regard to the people of the South
that is, that you will not do your duty to the
President in obeying the amendments to the
Constitution, which secures to all life, liberty,
property. rights and the fruits of their labor. .
Let Mr. Secretary Sherman he reminded that
the people OF the South just now are not con-
cerning themselves about the fears of the
Northern people any more than about the fcal S
of the Eastern or Western people We pre-
sumo he spoke for "tho Northern people" with
out authority. but in any event the people oil
the South owe the President no duty. 1t is
the President who is to be dutiful TO all the
peoI ls whose servant he is.-NashriRe (7e,m.)

no doubt that the Southern States can be
controlled by the shotgun policy; but
whether the programme of controlling the
Federal Government is to succeed is a
problem which the President alone can

LAST SATURDAY the Workingmcns party
held meetings in Baltimore. They invited
Senator DAVID DAVIS to address them. He
answered them by letter, stating that his

this letter he also said The suffering cOndi-

noted" The rumor prevailed yesterday that
Senator DAVIS would lead the Workingmen's s

PHILADELPHIA came nigh being sold out by
the sheriff yesterday. He offered for sale four
hundred and thirty-nine pieces OF real estate,
containing in all over fifteen hundred differ
ent properties. Unfortunately quite a NUM-
ber of these homes belonged to the laboriug
classes, and the sale was being made on fore
closed mortgages of building associations.
Among the list to be sold were the Grand Cen
tral Variety Theatre, on Walnut street, and
the Grace Baptist Church, corner of Bcrks aud
Mervine streets. This state of things in the
City of Brotherly Love does not speak SO well
for the general pr.ptrity of that city during
