dier" on this floor who does not firmly
believe that slavery wasa curse equally
to master and man, and that the South
is well rid of il even at .he terrible
cost ut which its riddancc was accom-.
plished. 1t has, however, left rank
ling memories behind II on both sidet
of the old dividing line that arc food
for the agitator. Constitutional amend
ments, nor statutory provisions car
remove them. II is not wonderful
that he who was petty baron upor

ssould be unwilling TO recognize them
at once as social or political equals
and need but recall my own strug
giles and those of my colaborers in the
Frcesoil and Republican parties Il
learn that with them and me there are
surviving prejudices and passions
which often control us unconsciously
to ourselves. As | have said, sir, legis
lation or constitutional provisions can
not eradicate these memories, preju
dices and passions. But in the name o.
society we may devoutedly thank God
that there are agents that will efiace
thcm. Time ripens generations, and
in little while there will be gentle
men on this floor who will have knowr
neither the social influences of slavery
nor the passions engendcred by the
struggle for its overthrow Then the
country may hope for wiser and more
temperate counsels, but until then We
must expect to encounter distrust and
suspicion and to be involved at times
in impassioned controversy. Mean
while such amendments as | have sug
gested will conserve the peace of the
country and more than that they will
purify this Capitol of the swarms ol
tempters of both sexes that throng
the corridors when appropriation bllli
upon which jobs are proposed to be
put are under consideration. Sir oui
country is filled with discomfort and
murmuring. Capital finds no profit
and seeks shelter in the vaults of the
Treasury at 4 per cent. per annum
while labor, ill-requited when employ
ed, wanders over the country seeking
work at any wages. The country
needs repose. Nothing could be more
baneful to ii at this time than agita
ton. Yet such has been the course OF
debate in this session that wounds that
had cicatrized are bleeding afresh, and
passions that slumbered and seemed
to have died are blazing with brillancy
OF mid-war. 1t is not a healthful con

mOnr Boarding House. ,,

This company has just concluded a
most successful season i'm Milwaukee.
The Sentinel has the following, which,
coming from that paper, is no ordinary
compliment:
one oi the largest audiences OF the
season filled the Opera House last even
ing. to enjoy the production OF Leonard
Growers great hit OF "Our Boarding
House. And it is great hit No
piece ever brought out DEVELOPS half
the laughter melted by this play. 1t is
heavy in no single part, and from it's
constant surprises IN amusing situa-
tiuns gives the audience no time and
no inclination to criticiSe it. We do
not remember a play which presents
such DiCkenSy set OF characters, ev-
cry one OF which might serve as Il
specially for iirst-ClaSS comedian.
There is a great deal OF eXaggeration in
the situations but not more than is war
rantcd for stage purposes. These stu
atoms show dramatic genius and a
familiarity with the possibilities Of the
stage, which have been used TO the ut
most. Ii was dramatic inspiration
that led the author TO select a boarding
house for his purposes, and now that We
have it, one is surprised that no author
ever before awaited himself fully OF the
variety Of characters offered by such an
inStitutiou-md especially Chicago
boarding house. The most is made OF
the inspiration here, and boarding
house scenes crowd upon the stage 50
rapidly as to keep the observer con-
stantly absorbed.
The characters of GWpOd, Eevdior.
Sioutrr and Mrs. ColrUe, are enough to
establish the reputation OF Mr.. Grover
rs a keen observer and talented portrait
painter.
Mu,h praise, of course. is due to the
excellent company which presents the
piece. Mr.. Lingham, Mr.. BrOwser, Mr..
Little and Miss Phillips sustain their
difficult parts in the most successful
manner: We mention these because the
Stvle Of character they assume are less
familiar on the stage than the others,
which are so admirably carried, especial
lv those of Miss Roberts, Miss Granger,
Miss Graham, and others. We regard
the PLAY as the most entertaining and
Jolly ever produced here, and one which
will add much to the current gossip of
the time in its pictures of boarding
house life and character.

The rain which has lately fallen was
particularly welcome after the long dry
spell. Vegetation and crops required 1t,
and the sultry air OF the past few days
is the better for it. But the circus gocrs
did not relish IT, The London circus

openings. and IL is one of liie's pleasant
hours to stand and listen To a clown

a SOCIAL EVENING
Spent at the Fourth Street
Church.

Last night was one to be enjoyed in
doors, the driving rain making every
place else uncOmfortably damp. In
consequence, a large number OF people
gathered at the social given by the let
tiers C. d. and +. and the Fourth Street
Church. The rain kept some away, and
probably the circus too, but the room
was comfortably filled for all that. In
the early part of the evening supper
had been laid in the class-roOms, where
a tempting and substantial feast was to
be had for a small sum. The tables
were well patrOnized, and their dainty
loads much lightened before the evening
was over.
At eight O'Clock the exercises COM
menced. Miss Minnie Hall led off with
bright piano solo, well rendered and
pretty. 1t is most difficult matter to
entertain an audience in a hall with
piano music; the instrument has lost its
novelty, and only the most skilliul per
former can hold attention. As Mrs.
Jenkins says, she always wants some
body to play at her parties 50 as TO get
them all talking"
Mr. G.. f. Dunaway next read a selec-
ton entitled "0ur Heroes, Living and
Dead" HIS reading was unusually
good, though upon occasions OF tins
character SON ething rather more inter
esting should be selected. a good reci-
tation is generally the most acceptable
dish that can be served up at a social,
but an attractive selection, one that viii!
interest and please outside the delivery,
should be taken.
Miss Annie Carson sang very sweetly
a song entitled "When the Moon is
Softly Beaming."
Miss Rida Dean followed with a reel
tation of "The Female Convict The
same might be said of this selection as Of
the other. The lady read it admirably,
but it was of a very pathetic description,
and rather depressed than frightened
the audience.
After a well-executed piano duo by
Mrs. Clendenning and Miss Logan,
came an essay on 1.-The Social by Miss
Ella Dillon. The writer told OF the es-
timation in which the socials are held
bv various persons, and went on TO
show the benefits and pleasures to be
derived from attendance upon them.
| The essay cOncluueu Will huuloIOuS
quotation upon what the preacher
said" The style OF this production was
good; easy, not labored, and lett the au-
dience brighter than it found them.
Miss Mary Odbert then executed, in
good taste, a piano solo, and Misses
| Ella and Eta Dillon closed the exercises
with a well sung Duet.
DR.. George, with few preliminary
remarks, announced Bishop Fosters

verse" tonight, great lecture by a
great man on a great subject and If
YOU miss it you will be greatly disap-
pointed. The remainder OF the evening
was spent in conversation, eating cake
and ices, and enjoyment generally.
Among those present were Bishops
Simpson. Peck, Harris, Haven, An
drews, Wiley and Bowman.

POLICE MATTERS.
News Generally Connected with
Yesterday.

In the crowd and Notification always
incident TO a circus more or less rows
and fights are sure to occur. Clrcusday
is also, as a general thing, field day Tor
the pickpocket and petty thief, as many
an owner of lightened purse can tes-
tify. Several affairs under police juris-
diction occurred yesterday, though not
more than usual perhaps.
Robbed on the Bridge.
In the afternoon a countryman, CIV
inc his name as William Halienbeln
from Locust Point, complained to the
notice that he was robbed OF SO on the
bridge. He couldn't tell how it had
happened. but all he knew was that he
was minus that amount OF money, ana
charged his loss to the operations oil the
light fingered gentry. The police VIII
endeayor 10 work the case to some
light.
Served Him Right.
Yesterday morning colored waiter at
the New Mcclure, Charlie Billiard by
name, used some insulting language to
a lady, and upon beng taken to task by
the head waiter made an insolent reply.
The latter promptly knocked him down.
The darkey hunted around far ''raz-
zah," but finding none made complaint
against the head waiter, and the matter
will be fully ventilated before the Police
Court this morning.
A Free Fight.
As the crowd was returning from the
circusi in the afternoon, they were treat,
ed TO a sight not down on the bills, and
the east end OF the bridge was packed to
view the spectacle. 1t was free for all
fight on the railroad atthe Pewiky depot.
There were three principal participants,
and the hair pulling was interesting
when Officer Davis put in an appear
ance and bagged the game cocks. Sequel
i'm the police court this morning.
Lost His Balance
A little fight came off in the afternoon
at the circus, which was witnessed by
the crowd without extra charge. One
of the unwashed was sitting on tent
stav-ropc, balancing himself and swing
ing his feet. 4 passer stumbled ON the
rope and tire v him backward. 1t was
accident, but the unwashed became
very abusive. Finally blows were called

Gus attache came along and threatened
to swallow them both and succeeded in
separating them. No arrests.
Philip Chirp's Case.
1t seems that Philip Chirp, mention OF

at the police court he was take before
Justice Miller upon charge OF entering
the Home with intent 10 commit rape.
He waived an examination and in de-
fault of 81 900 bond was committed to
