delivered an address of welcome.

Senator johnson, of Virginia,
chairman of the Congressional Cons
mission, made a few appropriate re
marks, concluding by saying that
the column row to be erected was to
commemorate not only the victory of
the colonies, but the part taken in
that victory by France. The recog
nftion and acknowledgment of the
aid given by France to this country
was solemn duty left by the Cons
tinental Congress to it's sue
cessors, and now, after the lapse
of one hundred years, the
Congress of 38 States and fifty mil
lion people is fulfilling that duty.
The cornerstone of the monument
was then laid with Masonic ceremo-
MES, under the direction ofaGrand
Master of Virginia, Peyton S. Gales.
The gavel used was historic one,
made from timber from Commodore
Perry's flag ship Lawrence, and was
used on occasions of laying the cor
ner-stone of the monument at Mon
mouth, N. j., and of the Egyptian
obelisk in Central Park, New York.
At the concluion of these cere-
monies the Presidential party
and foreign guests returned to. the
war vessels on the river. The mills
tary continued to arrive until late in
the evening.

with the preface that Atlanta is an enter
prising town, said he is now fully assured
of the fact that the Knoxvillians have al
fession that he is Sin love-" but whether
with one lady, all the ladies or the hospital
ity of Knoxville, he can't tell now. The
hospitality of Knoxville, he said, is re.
markable. The convention has been q
blessing and he extends to Tennessee a
good cheer. The Knoxville association, be
said, needs and should have building.
Professor Bruner added hearty testimonial,
and another selection by the quartette was
given.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tons was read and adopted by a unanimous
rising vote. They thank the pastor and
deacons for the use of the First Presbyte-
ran church; the other pastors for help !;
the Y. M. G.. A. for their cordial reception.
and assigning them to pleasant homes; to
the WOmen's Christian Association their
best thanks for the dinners, and expressing
hope that their efforts for the Lords cause
VIII be successful; to the jealous visiting
brethren; to railroads, the daily newspa-
pers, etc.
Mr.. White, by special request gave
another beautiful solo, and Mr.. NJ. L. Blan-
ton, of Nashville, said that he was last on
the programme, but not last in the appre-
citation of the hospitality of Knoxville and
the good impressions of the work of the
convention. He was thankful for all the
glorious results. In all his travels he had
never seen SO many elegant and hospitable
homes as Knoxville has, and every delegate
thinks his home was the best. If he
ever migrates from Nashville, he will
come to Knoxville. He closed by
taking up collection for expenses, getting
good sum.
DIR. Munhall sang very impressively
"Where is my boy To-nig ght," followed by
fervent prayer, after which the delegates
formed circle with clasped hands, sang
Blest be the tie that Binds" and the con-
vention declared by President Drummer ad-
journed subject to the call of the executive
committee,

Neither Addison nor Pope ever saw res 1ectable Hamlet" Betterton was dead before their day. and Garrick had not yet appeared. When Addison's play of Cato was produced Barton Booth took the lead ing mart but he never could take " Ham let.n To succeed in such role a tlan must be endowed with peculiar gifts There was no such man in Shaksp penre's day, and hence, strange as it may seen. the great poet never witnessed the pro per rendering of his greatest character, nor, indeed. any of his great characters.
 Speaking of the drama, it is well known that the greatest danger of the profession is found in the excessIve use of stimulantS. Cooke, Kean, and the senior Booth were lamentable illustrations of the destructive nature of this habit, which at Ehe present timeis doing its work of ruin in the theatrical world. One reason is found in the exhausting nature Of the stage per formance. Some of those parts which seem the easiest are really the sryerest IT their consequences. Kean was wont tl say that only 9 youRg mah could play King Lear," because 1t was so labOrious and exhausting, Players soon get jadeC by the ardLous nature of their profession vhich they make sn excuse for usins strong drink. It may be said that thu far Edwin Booth can not te charged witt anything of such character. He has tn reputation of being a temperate man. ant this is the more remarks bIe when one re members the example set by his unfor tunate father.

Booths Success,
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
WM. H. MCGREW.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
 The friends of Edwin Booth are by no means surprised at his grand success in London. It is no more than was reason ably expected. Genius must every where awaken admiration, but however grati- flying Booths success must be to his American friends, our loss is also to he remembered, fer during his absence we have no Hamlet" We are thus remind ed that there have been frequent intervals in the history of our drama when" Ham, let could not be produced, because there was no one able to present the highest conception of shakspcrean genius.

That's What We Say.

Several newspapers, says the Prescott Democrat, are pufing vne Col. James Howard for the Govcrnorship of Arizona. Why not favor some Arizona Republi- cen? There are plenty of men of that party. actual residents of our Territory. and fit for the ap. pointment Let Us have an Ari- zonan for Governor of Arizona" Phoenix Herald.
 We endorse that sentiment. Should Governor Fremont resign his trust as Governor of this Ter ritory, we think that his place should be filled by some one fully identified with the interests of this young, growing and vigorous commonwealth. Our people should lift up their voices as one man against the importation of foreign material for that office. Let us haVe.a man from among Us Ihere are plenty of good Repubii- cans in Arizona capable of filling the office.
