Rosecrnns Corrccts Blaine's History.

"
Gen. Rosecrans furnished last night
for publication the following card;
MIR. Blaine, in his funeral Grafton before
the two Houses said: when General
Garfield assumed his new duties he found
various troubles already well developed and
seriously affecting the value and efficiency
of the Army of the Cumberland" / was
Commanding General of that army. Gen.
Garfield was my chief of staff. Had
this been the fact certainly should have
known It. Gen. Garfield was bound to
tell me of it. Justice TO the truth Of his
tory and to the Army of the Cumberland
requires that l should declare that l never
heard of such a state of things until the
statement came from the lips of the orator
to day. The distinguished gentleman has
been wholly misinformed, and the state
ments above quoted have no foundation in
fact On the contrary, it was the general
sentiment and constant boast of the officers
and men of that army that the Army of
the Cumberland was singularly united
and free from dissensions, and therefore no
ones genius was required to heal those dis
sensions. / appeal to them to bear wit
ness to this fact. A few sentences further
on Mr.. Blaine says: ellis military duties
closed on the memorable field of Chick
amauga--a field which, however disastrous
to the Union arms, gave him the occasion
of winning imperishable laurels." He
might with justice have added, as Garfield
would have added, "and to us the key oi
the South-the objective point of the cam
paign, Chattanooga" w. S. RosECRANs.

An ss OriCiuaI.,,

Two young men were overheard converslng
upon the important subject OF dress, as they
said one, 81 don't like TO wear what everybody
else does. want to be original, or else wear
nothing at ALL" One who overheard this
speech had the curiosity to take an inventory
OF the speakers wardrobe, which resulted as
follows; Item, a calico shirt, with bulldog g
heads on 1t as large as flve-cent pieces; item,
n yellow and brown plaid ulster, with a scar
let and blue handkerchief sticking out OF the
breast pocket; item, black necktie, with red
spots ON IL like traces OF a recent nasal hem-
orrhage; item, striped light trousers, 80 tight
as to give the impression that the wearer must
have skinned his legs TO get into them; item,
very pointed shoes, with bun tops; item, hat
with low crown and a broad, rakish, Quaker
sort OF brim. Evidently the youth had been
successful in his efforts 10 appear original, and
perhaps even this garb might be better than
none at all, which he declared was his alterna-
tive.

The Huron Monument.

Friends of several victims of the Huron
disaster are anxious that some arrange
ments be made to have engraved on the
proposed monument at Annapolis the
names of others than those mentioned in
the report of the House committee. Among
these is Capt. J. J. Guthrie, late superin-
tendent of the life saving station of the
Sixth district, between Capes Henry and
Hatteras, who, with about half dozen
surfmen, also lost their lives in rendering
assistance at the time of the wreck. 1t
was the desire of the late President Gar
field that this should be done. He it was,
when a member of the House, who framed
and had passed bill pensioning the fam
lilies of Capt. Guthrie and other victims OF
the wreck

An Informer Seriously Assaulted.

Thomas Holmes, young man about "a
years of age, concluded one evening about two
months ago to spree with couple of evil COM
liquors that are plentiful in HelPs Bottom,
wound up the programme late at night by
robbing the house of Mrs. Hudnell. Holmes,
was so mortified with his conduct Of the past
evening that he voluntarily informed on his
"pals," and upon his testimony principally
they were furnished with a free pass to tho
penitentiary at Auburn. This so incensod the
mother Of one Of the unfortunates that she has
repeatedly declared since the trial that ven
3 O'Clock this morning, while on his way home
from club house, in which he was employed,
Holmes was savagely attacked by colored
ruffian, who was lying in wait, and severely
cut about the loins with a razor. Although
nearly exhausted from copious hemorrhage,
he, with great difficulty, reached his home, at
11O6 @ street, and Dr.. B. NJ Beall was sum
moned to relieve his suffering and dress the

The Daneing schools Must Go.

II has been hinted for some time in East
Washington that the police authorities pre-
meditated Interfering with the several dane
Ing schools I'm that section, and not little in
dignation has been expressed by those who
think dancing schools have as much right to
exist as any other kind OF schools. The police
authorities claim IL Is a sly way of defrauding
the District, by avoiding the amusement tax.
This, however, Is not the case, as zach lady or
gentleman attending is regularly instructed
In the terpsichorean art. The police notified
Prof. Birmingham last night that he must
either pay license or close his shutters. The
Professor says II they Interfere with his school
further he Will sue the District. Just how 1t
Will end we don't know.

An Artilleryman Injured.

This morning while Light Battery A,
Second Artillery, under command of Col.
the Arsenal, Private McMonomy, in at
tempting to mount a caisson, fell under the
wheels, which passed over his breast, break
ing one rib and badly lacerating his breast.
The unfortunate man was picked up and
conveyed to the hospital, where his injuries
were attended to. 1t is worthy of notice
that the victim being man of so years of
ago could hardly be active enough to make
service in light battery safe More espe.
cially in this case, while the ridiculous
custom of arming artillerymen with swords
still prevails.

The amount of the bond Of the receiver

designation was postponed until tomorrow.

italian Opera.
"Standing room only" was placarded at the
National Theatre last night before the doors
were opened, and within half an hour after
there was not even room to stand, Never has
Washington been so opera mad before. The
announcement OF "Carmen for the opening
performance by the company, with Minnie
Hauk in the title role, had created q demand
for seats, and they were all sold before yester.
day morning. The result was the assembling Of
an audience that represented the wealth, fash
ion, culture and beauty OF the National Capital.
Their reward was bountiful. The opera
was superbly rendered, loud, long and re-
peated encores being tendered Mimic Hauk
Campanini, Milo. Kalas and Del Puente. The
choruses were grand, and altogether the
entire performance memorable one.
Minnie Hauk's first appearance here
had long been anticipated. Her auditors
were enraptured, as her representation of
Carmen was simply magnificent. 1t was a
study, which places that lady at the head Of
her profession with but little to fear from
rivals. Tonight "Aida'' Will be performed
and tomorrow night "Lohengrin."
