meeting Of the managers Of the Labor Ex-
change was held last evening, NJ. q. Emery,
esq, In the chair, and General Mussey secre-
tary.
The report Of the superintendent for the
month ending May 81 was read and adopted.
1t shows that the number of visitors to the
now room has increased, and great interest has
been taken in the welfare of the Exchange.
A number Of orders were received from pr
vate parties, and four different kinds of work
were carried on, viz, box-making, paper aud
cotton bags and printing.
The demand for good servants has increased
there being nnety.one applications from cm.
plloyers and only eighty-one applicants for
places.
The two-cent lunch.roou, No. 1873 Seventh
street, was stated to be nearly sclfsupporting
The report states that Miss Juliet Corson, of
New York, will visit Washington daring the
present week, and an effort will be made to
have her address the training school for nurses
regarding the art of cooking food properly.

formed by the Exchange during tho month {:

General Musscy read an intcrcstiug paper
upon the colonization Of the South, which sub
iect was referred to committee of the Ex-
change at its last meeting. The plan suggested
is that large tract Of land should be purchased
and subdivided among cOlonists who are will
ing to work. At the end of a certain period
the land shall be sold at cost to its cultivatOrs.
This plan was recommended ~ being good
course for Government clerks who had not
mach capital to invest. The proper way
would be to form an association aud let tic
land to actual settlers, who would find it to
their interests to improve the sections allotted
to them. 1t was clearly the object of the Tx.
change to foster and encourage such enigr,:-
tion or colonization. After general discus.
sion the report Of the committee was adopted
and motion to adjourn prevailed.

the distinguished actor whose talented effoit Is
were so kindly lent and to the deserving
beneficiary Of the occasion. Mr.. McCullough's
claims to precedence among the great Richclicus
Of the day were fully attested by the discrim-
mating applause which followed him In every
phase and situation Of his impersonation. The
pecuniary success Of the occasion was Of course
most satisfactory to Mr.. Kinsley, as nearly all
the available seats in the theatre were occupied
by substantial contributors. Mr.. McCullough's
support was very good. Mr. Hamilton as De
Bdrddds. Mr.. flanagan as Joseph, and Mrs.
Blanche Ford In the role Of Julie De Mortimer
deserve particular praise for the excellence of
their impersonations. The absence Of Mr.

Another Art Creation In Gutter - Mrs.

Mrs. Brooks, who became somewhat cele-

just completed her Sleeping Iolauthc, which is
truly wonderful creation of fancy aud art
The figure, which is nearly five feet IN length

to sleep by the taisman placed upon her breast
by the Moor. Her attcndnnts have left her
and, according Ia the tale which has inspired
this beautiful creation, Tristrm discovers her
while thus in innocent rcpoSc, and addresses
her in most poetic rapture, takes her hand.

her before night. lie seiZcs the talsman aud
fanCies that she bles,cs him in her dreams.
He then retircs to the garden. lOlauthe dis
turScd by the sensation, turns her body to the
left, raises her right hand to her bosom through
her flowing hair. With the Instinct of the
blind, she rCackcs her left hand for the assur.
ing touch Of her attendants.
Heinrich Hertz is her mORi,:c, and she Is
draPed in rich soft white material. wrought
at the sleeves, neck and hem. The role Is
brOiderCd with NiOlets and leaves at the hem,
with violet buds and leaves al the neck and
sleeves. The scarf with friugCd ends upon
which she reclinCs had been thr ,wn around her
by her Moorish physician before leaving her.
The pointed slippers are purc,y ideal. The
head is perfect, and the face beams with all
the cScellcncies that goodness can challenge
while sweet smile throws halo upon her
sleeping countcmanca
This is the Sleeping Iolanthc as the skill
and taste OF the artist presents her to the be.
holder. The creation is a triumph of art aud
SKILL and reflects marked credit upon the
struggling artist. 1t il u marvel that such u
perfect creation eau be wrought in butter. and
this effort deserves to be exhibited IN Paris,
where it would astOuish the savans of the old
