Tho WESLEYAN EntertatnmenS

The entertainments at the Wesleyan
College are gaining that popularity
which they deserve. On last Saturday
evening the college hall could scarcely
contain all who were present to listen
to the exercises which were conducted
by me Minerva Society. Miss solomon's
rendition Of a piano solo was rapturous-
ly applauded. Miss Murphy excel
lently recited a poem. The tableaux
representing " Night and Morning."
was artistically presented. Prof. Rheads
and Misses Pearce and Mccullough
beautifully rendered a vocal trio, at the
conclusion of which the Professor re-
eeived handsome bouquet. Miss Pei
ton admirably delivered a short poem.
Miss Heisler read the paper termed
"Ths Wesleyana," which is edited by
the young ladies connected with the
college. The matter it contained pos.
sessed both wit and knowledge and it
is great credit to the young ladies'.
Miss Mccullough next favored the au-
dience with a vocal solo. The drama
called the " Sewing Circle" received
outbursts of laughter and was heartily
applauded. Miss Pearce beautifully
performed piano solo. The exercises
concluded with the presentation of tie
fascinating tableaux representing
gypsy scene. At the conclusion of the
exercises Mrs. Williams was also pre-
sented with handsome bouquet.

Politics In Virginia.

From the tone Of private letters re-
,.ived at Washington, from Richmond,
Virginia, from some Of the most saga
,ions politicians In the State, !. Is be-
lieyed that the efforts nov being made to
rsuuite the two Democratic factions for
tbs Presidential contest will result In
a failure. 1t 10 considered certain that
there will even be two delegations sent
to The National Democratic Convention,
one representing the Malone party and
the other the Conservative element,
which thus far has made open war
upop the firEt-n&med. General Malone
"a not likely to submit now, after he
has control of the State, yet he Is threat
ened with political accommodation II
he dos not do so. The leading Repub-
lcaus fthe State are more hopeful now
of securing the electoral vote of Virginia
for the Republican nominee than at
.ny time for four years. That the Dem
ocrats will lose some Of the Congress-
ional districts now held by them Ia not
considered doubtful but an absolute
certainty. Taken as q whole, the politi'
cal outlook for the Republicans is Vir-
ginia Is exceedingly bright.

AChurch disturbance.

While the congregation of the Asbury
N. L. church were engaged in singing
last evening at the conclusion of the
Rev. J. A. B. Wilson's sermon, youth
commenced to talk, when he was re-
qussted by gentleman named Pennel
TO leave the church, at the same time
taking hold Of him. The youth replied
that he would as soon as hs had OBJ
tanned his overcoGt. Whether Mr.. p.
heard his reply or not We were not in.
formed but that individual pulled him
to the stairway for the purpose of ejec-
ing him, when he was stopped by a
gentleman named Virtue. The boy,
however was taken to class room and
after receiving some advice was freed.
The members of this church are occa-
aionSlIy annoyed by such boys, and
veto should be put to the nuisance.
