The enterprise undert&k ken by the
Southern Maryland Railroad Company, as shown
elsewhere is Of the greatest value to the cities OF
Washington, Georgetown. and Alexandria. 1t will
relieve the winter blockades of the commerce of
these cities when the navigation of the Potomac is
dangerous, or Distracted. or altogether suspended
on account of fogs and ice. The Potomac and
Chesapeake fisheries about and below Point Look
out and the coal export trade of Georgetown will be
spared the losses caused by delayed transportation
In the summersea rapid and cheap daily COM
muuieatTon with good and safe bathing resort at
Poiut Lookout will be constantly maintained, and
a valuable trade with the peninsular counties will
be opened to the business men of Washington and
Georgetown. That an enterprise like this, frausht
with so many advantages to the public, should be
attacked with constant misrepresentation excites
wonder. Such, however, has been the history of
many undertakings now recognized to be of the
highest public value, and the friends of the road
do not doubt of their success in finally completing
and successfully operating this line, which will
connect Washington and Baltimore with Point

Wants 10 Keep Up with the Time.

"See here, stop minute" spoke a
well-known citizen to a REPUBLICAN news hunter,
as he was elbowing his way through the crowded
lobby at Wizards Hotel last evening.
"What can do for you, Colonel?" responded the
knight of the pencil
"Why, want you to send that REPUBLICAN to
my house. said the Colonel. al won't get any
peace until do take it. My servant girl takes it,
and my wife says that she thinks that ought to
be ashamed ofmyself to compel her to go and Dor
row paper from her servant to find out what is
going on She says that it is the paper of the city,
and the only one that she cares to read have
been blackguarded about it so much that will
end it, and you just send it to the house"
You shall have it, Colonel" said the scribe,
writing down the name. :" 1t is the live paper of
the day."
That is just what she says about it, replied the
Colonel az believe it is true too, because hear
everybody speaking of the wonderful improve
ment that has taken place in it, Just send it up,
and will read it myself 1t amt my politics. but
that don't make any difference want 10 know
what is going on, and keep up with the times"
The ColonePs address was taken, and this morn
ing he is doubtless reading THE REPUBLICAN and
getting up an appetite for breakfast.

"ALONZo THE BRAVE"
A Melancholy Actor who Died Several
Times Last Night.

Times Last Night.
Last night there was small but very Sc
lect audience ofcOlored people assembled in Lincoln
Hall TO witness tie rcRtree of W. c. Chase " the
melancholy" on the boards. The drama of the
evening bore the crushing title of "Alonzo the
Brave and the Fair Imogene." The character of
Alor-o the gentleman who ruled the entire army
and navy of the Spanish government, was as
sumed by the only Chase. This artist has hereto
fore been heard of only through the notoriety he
has received from delivering Sunday lectures in
the school house at Uniontown, and from his
prominence at District political gatherings, where
the unwashed minionS of J. Say-les Bowen
have made his sad soul sadder by heavily sitting
down on him. But last night Chase rose above
the cramped proportions of the Uniontown school
house. and his spirit scared and trayerSed histri-
onc regions undreampt of by the servile followers
of j. Say-les. As the King of the whole Spanish
Main AIOR-O roared, and was terrible All the
agonies that emanate from passionate love thwarted
ambition, treachery of friends, and misplaced con-
fdences were suffered by the great Chase. IN
I'll the final act of selfdestruction was COM
mitted in the presence of the betrayed dead
and afterward spectre BRIDE" in graveyard
filled with tombstones, horrid gibberillg COLLINS
and red lights that insisted upon not burning
properly. The dissolution was aided and abetted
by knife halfa yard long, with a white wood
handle, that had protruded from Ad0neo's hip
pocket all through the act. \ perceptible shudder
ran through the frames of the auditors
as Chase gurgled and died for the eighth and last
time, which soon settled down into feeling of
relief that the sulIerings of 4Ion=o were over A
farce followed. in which Mr. Chase took the lead
ing part. This satisfied the over-credulous portion
of the audience, who had some doubts as to Chase
being actually alive. Several members of the COM
pany (which was the Ira Aldridge Dramatic Asso-
ciation) acquitted themselves very creditably.

The Opera Last Night, ''EdgewOOd
Folks" and Other Entertainments.

The Opera Last Night, EdgewOOd
Folks" and Other Entertainments.
Last night the National Theatre was
crowded to its utmost capacity with most brilliant
audience, drawn thither by the desire to see Miss
Emma Abbott in Donizetti's grand tragic opera
Lucia di Lammermoor." Naturally the interest
of the evening centred in the little lady who sus
tanned the role of Lucia. This is character that
has been interpreted by the most celebrated prima
donnas, and was an especial favorite with Clara
Louise kellogg. Miss Abbott last night scored a
genuine success From her first aria to the finale
of the last act her voice fulymet the requirements
of the score, and she sang with delicacy of
phasing, with an artistic intelligence and effect
that was as happy as it was surprising. In the
scene with EdgdrdO, in which the famous sextette
occurs, she showed a degree of dramatic power
and intensity that completely electrified the
audience, while in the mad scene the wild laugh
sent thrill ofhorror through the sensitive portion
of them. Signor Brignoli, as Edgardo fairly di-
vided the honors with Miss Abbott, and sang with
clearness, parity and force that proved that
time had made but slight inroad upon his noble
tenor The chorus was effective, and the instrr-
mentation of the orchestra showed the skill and
ability of Sgnor Tomasi, the director This after
noon Fra Diavolo" and tonight "The b.
hemian Girl
Hon. John Kelly will deliver lecture at Lincoln
Hall Tomorrow night upon the subject of The
Sisters of Charity" the proceeds ofwhieh will be
expended for clothing for poor boys, under the
direction of the Young Catholics Friend Society
The fame of the lecturer and the noble object for
which he viii appear should induce a crowded at
tendance, and such may confidently be predicted,
The readings by Professor E. C. Townsend last
night, at the Washington Collegiate Institute,
were thoroughly successful. The selections were
most happy and the loud laughter and liberal ap-
plause of the audience fully attested their enjoy
ment.
The art entertainment :of Professor n A.
West at the Congregational Church last night, was
one of decided pleasure. and instruction. 1t will
be repeated tonight.
'Edgewood Folks the comedy which has held
the stage at Ford's Opera House this week, will
close with tonight. Those who have not yet wit
messed it should certainly embrace the opportunity
now offered.
The Comique has been crowded each night this

inson The olio is well selected, and each per-
former sustains his or her part most effectively.
