A New Haven Singer,

The New Britain correspondent of the Hartford Times says of the appearance of Miss Lizzie c. Gaffney, soprano of Dwight Place church, in Pinafore Thursday evening at the New Bsitain Opera House: ''The most attractive feature last evening was, of course, the fine singing of Miss Gaffney, of New Haven How so much voice could come out of such a little body was mys- tery We think that this young lady is the best Josephine we have ever seen with the single exception of Miss Henry of the Phila, delphia Church Choir company. She re- ceived hearty reception last night and was we'll worthy of it."

GEN. JOE JOHNSTON says the immense
amount of silver treasure taken away
from Richmond by jeff. Davis, when he
fled the city, was counted and boxed by
well known confederate officials. Col.
Paul, confederate officer, told Johnston
that that there was carload of specie
when it left Richmond. Gen. Beauregard
told him that Davis had $4,000, 900 in
specie at Greensboro, N. c., and con-
federate officer told him that there were
twenty wagon loads of specie in the train.
The statement Of Gen. Johnston seems
thus well sustained. Of the entire
sum thus carried away only $17O, 900
have been accounted for, namely, $780,
600 that was left in military chest at
Greensboro, $4,000 captured by Col.
Wilson's Union cavaly, when Davis was
taken prisoner, and turned into the
United States treasury, and 100000 &C
counted for by Major Mines. This
leaves 1880, 900 unaccounted for, and
this amount must have been somewhere
concealed before the capture of JEFF
Davis. These things being true, the ex-
Confederate president would make fit
companion for Brady & Co., the brilliant
star route financial operators.

The Christmas services which were held by

to the reform movement.
Scrap Iron Bill, Mr.. Cressy, J. A. Temple
and others followed upon the same topic At
the close Of the meeting Mrs. H. F. Farr took
a position at the door with capacious hat and
required of each man who used the narcotic
weed, to drop ten cents into the hat upon pas s.
ing out. She explained that the money thus
collected should be used in providing a
Christmas dinner for the street boys and news
boys and to sending quantity of sweetmeats
to the convicts in the state prison at Still.

appeared to meet with the unanimous approx
al of every masculine party in the hall. In
fact, the hat seemed to hold silver enough to
establish model savings bank.

DURING President Garfeld's sickness,
when his recovery was thought possible,
Roscoe Conkling called at the White
House with we'll simulated expressions
Of sympathy, and left his condoling mes
sages for Mrs. Garfield. Is it not signifi-
cant, that since the death of the President,
Mr. Conkling has kept mainly hidden
away from public view, and no express
sion of sorrow, or sympathy, or condo
lence has escaped from him! Arthur,
Grant and numerous other prominent
silver-Iined stalwarts have made, at
least, at decent show of feeling, but not
80 Lord Roscoe. Is he then less deceit
full than theyi Does he withhold express
sions of sorrow where none is felt2 Or,
conscious that his fight against the
President, produced conditions that
caused his death, does he with that con-
science stricken sensibility which makes
towards of men, stink away into hidden
silence, Who knows?

The erection of fine, large stone structure
to occupy the site of the Minneapolis -four

will be prosecuted as soon as possible. Messrs.
Crocker, Fiske & Co., the proprietors, have
entrusted to Mr.. James Rye, the head
draughtsman of the O. A. Pray Co., the i'm
portant duty of preparing the plans and spec
ifcatlons for the mill. His instructions are
to perfect draughts of one thousand barrels
capacity per day mill. mo expense is to be
spared in its construction to make it the best
in the city. 1t will be 60 feet front by los
feet deep, and four stories in heighth.
The very best and latest i'm
proved roller machinery will be used
The old mill cwas only six hundred
barrels capacity, and did not extend nearly so
far back upon TO lot as will the one proposed,
and was, in fact, very shabbily constructed of
rough stone. From the pencil of Mr.. Pye we
may safely expect to see handsome structure
which will prove an ornament to the city and
pride to its owners.

Annual Review.

The GLOBE will present its annual review Of
the business Of St. Paul for 1881 upon the
last day of the year, as is its usual custom
This review can be made much more complete
and satisfactory by the active cooperation OF
the business men of the city in giving infor.
nation. AS representatives of the GLOBE call
for statistics they should receive prompt re-
plies, as the work is SO great
it will be almost impossible to
make repeated calls. These annual

business feature of the city, and as the matter
is public one and not personal speculation
the general cooperation of those possessing
information is earnestly desired and conf
IDENTIFY expected.
