HOLY CROSS ACADEMY.
An Enjoy able observation-disclosures OF
1.-The Lost Child,

The entertainment given by the pupils
of the Academy of the Holy Cross, on Massachu-
sets avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, yesterday afternoon was certainly most
enjoyable one. The school-rooms were converted
into spacious hall by throwing open the folding
doors, and a stage had been erected at the south
end upon which the exercises took place. AT the
extreme rear was a wood scene, which added
greatly to the effect in the presentation of the
operetta. The music, both vocal and instrumental
in the earlier portion of the programme, were hap
PLY rendered, as were also two French dialogues
the accent of the children being particularly good
The main feature, however, was the production OF
an Operetta, Laila; or, The Lost Child, which
was most successfully rendered. The choruses
were all well sung, and in some of the solos the
children showed the possession of very sweet
voices which had been carefully trained. Perhaps
the most interesting number was the fairies
chorus by the junior class and the little ones GER
tainly looked fairylike in their gossamer dresses
studded with gold and silver stars and crescents;
their golden crowns upon curly heads and drawn
by wands The entire performance was most
creditable both to the pupils for theirexecuton OF
the music and to Mother Compassion, the princi-
pal of the academy, and her corps of able assist
ants, who have been unremitting in their exer-
lions to bring the children to so high degree of
perfection. The participants in the opera were
follows: La1d Miss Cotterill; Fairy Queen, Miss
Cavanaugh. Mountain children-MsseS Ginnaty

A BIG SYNDICATE,
The Largest Ever Formed in the Country
for Railroad Interests.

New YORK, May 17.-Colonel E. w.
Cole, of Tennessee, has formed probably
the largest syndicate ever formed in this
country for the purchase of railroad interests The
scheme embraces the establishment of a compre-
hensive system from the Northwest and South
west to the Atlantic coast by the purchase of ex-
listing lines and the building of new ones. Pur
chases have already been concluded of the Macon
and Brunswick Road of Georgia, the East Tennes-
see and Virginia system of roads, embrac
ing GIG miles; the Selma, Rome, and Dali
ton, and the Memphis and Charleston Roads,
covering in all about 1900 miles, Contracts for
the building of several hundred miles will at
once be let and the various systems connected
The syndicate has subscribed S160000O0 of capital
Among the ell-known capitalists who may be
named in the syndicate are George F. Seney, Sam
uel Thomas Calvin S. Brice, E. H. r. Lyman, and
John s. Martin. Colonel Cole will be made presi-
dent of the whole system of roads, and will have
charge of the extension by purchase and building.
His purpose is not to build one part at
the expense of others, his system will
feed almost every port the South Atlantic coast
as well as Norfolk, by the new Norfolk and West
ern line by natural currents of trade but simply to
continue his conservative system of general de-
velopment without antagOniZing special interests
1t is understood that the syndicate is willing to
takethe one fifth of the stock ofthe East Tennessee
and Virginia Road yet Impoverished at the price
paid for the four ffths if the holders desire it.

BEHIND TIME.
The Revised New Tcsfaments That Did
Not Arrive Yesterday.

Yesterday was the day set for issuing
the revised New Testament simultaneously on
both sides of the Atlantic. The publishers in Eng
land, in order to obtain the benefit of American
circulation, and protect, as they claim, the care
fully revised text from mutilation, shipped cargo
of Testaments to New York, where, according to
agreement, they were to be given to the public
yesterday. The Washington City Bible Society ar
ranged to have lot of Bibles sent to this city,
thatthe work might appear here simultaneously
with its appearance in New York. For some rea
son, however, the Testaments did not arrive yes
terday. Mr. Ballantyne, the depositary of the So
ciety, stated last evening that he expected that
they were shipped from New York yesterday,
and would arrive here this morning. The
Bible Society has appointed a committee
to review the work, and is therefore in
terested in securing copies as carly as
possible. There have been endeavors made by
several enterprising book publishers in this
try to secure copies of the work from England,
with the view of issuing large edition before the
Oxford print edition was given to the public. The
Bible Society in this city is auxiliary to the Aneri
can Bible Society," and cannot adopt the new YER
sion until it has been issued sby the American
Bible Society. The latter organization by its
charter is prohibited from printing any but the
King James version, but if the examining commit
tee approve the new version application will be
made for an amendment to the charter, which will
permit the society to print and circulate the Re-
viSed New Testament

BLOODY WARNING,
Michael Brennan in u speech Points to
the Land of Liberty.

LONDON, May lin speech at land
meeting at Ballaroan on Saturday last Mr. Michael
Brennan said that a year hence any reformer who
proposed to compensate landlords would be
laughed off the platform. He said: Surely the
people will not fOrsake the cause of the Land
League for such a miserable measure as the land
bill" He thought the time had come when from
one end to the other of Ireland general strike
should be proclaimed against all rent until
the land question is settled ON just prin-
ciples. He hoped the matter would be brought
forward at the coming convention. The anti
slavery movement in America, he said, COM
menced by offers of compensation to the slave
owners; but slavery was washed away i'll blood,
and he advised Irish landlords not to shut their
eyes to the history of the world. He thought the
cry recently raised in some parts of Europe of
Land and liberty" would be found to be the raj
lying cry of the Irish race the world over. They
must, he said, not waste time in the discussion of
the details of the land BILL but must make the
country hotter; make it impossible for landlords
aided by police and soldiers, to collect rents.
The Dublin correspondent of the Daily NCtrS
thinks that the advocacy of such programme by
Messrs Kettle and Brennan indicates that they are
committed by NJ. Parnell to test public opinion to
see whether the idea of general strike against
the payment of rent would be accepted.

Nine. GerSter proves to be a popular fivorite with
American audiences second TO none that have gone
before her on the concert platform Her amiabe face
and kindly unaffected manner win the public in adj
vance and her marvellous and beautiful bravura vO-
calism completes the capture. Her first selection the
" Carnival of Venice" variations given in the recent
performance of the Barber of Seville the opera
and with the purity of voice and finish of execu-
ton, followed by storm of applause, and Ardits
" Flor di Margherita' naturally not less ecstati-
cally received. The Shadow Song from Dino

Queries.
To the Editor of TIE REPuBLIcAN

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN;
Why did Garfield nominate Robertson ?
Did Robertson earn the place by his recruitment
service to the country? No!
Was Robertson entitled to the place by his great
public services? MOI
Was he entitled to it by his devotion to Republi-
can principles? No!
Was he even entitled to it at the hands of Gar
field because he had been q conspicuous or effect
i've champion of James \. Garfield last year? No
Has he ever displayed such superiority as q
statesman or Republican eaderas 10 entitle him TO
such magnificent reward! Not
Then why was he nominated for such splendid
position? Simply and solely to insult Roscoe
COnkling and the Republicans of New York.
The HesSRn brigade may pretend this and assert
that, but it is palpable TO every now that the
nomination of Robertson was an ungrateful and
vicious blow at of the great leaders of the Re
publican party, uncalled for and unworthy the
head that planned and the hand that struck.
