LAST EVENINGS SERENADES.
The Working mems Tribute to Gen.
eraI Grant,

AT the appointed hour last evening about
four hundred laboring men, principally from
the Navy-Yard, assembled at the Peace Monu-
ment for the purpose of serenading General
Grant, and at o'clock took up the line of
march. Unfortunately the summons to Join
the parade thatwas published yesterday was
not officially signed, and, therefore, many
mechanics paid no heed to the call, and did
not take part in the demonstration. The
parade was, however, n creditable one, and
was enliyened by number of transparences,
one Of which bore the words "U. s. Grant,
the President who enforced the 'elghthour
law and clinched 1t with his proclamation
The line was headed by the Third Artillery
Band and marshaled by Richard Emmons,
George w. Brennan, j. e. Buckingham and II.
L. Russell. Tho procession went first to the
residence Of General Beale, where General
Grant was dining, and after playing several
patriotic airs, the eXPresident, accompanied
by General Beale, stepped out, and his ap-
pearance was greeted by round after round of
hearty applause. When the applause had
subsidized General Grant said:
GENTLEMEN: This is very unexpected 10 me-
and am deeply grateful for the compliment
you pay me. At first tried to convince GEN
eral Beale, with whom l am dining, that this
demonstration was intended In his honor, but
his modesty prevented him from accepting
my statement. In his name, and In the names
of the other guests, thank you for this honor,
and am only sorry that did not know Of
your intentions, as then should have been
prepared to express myself more at length.
The address was responded TO by Mr.. Rich
ard Emmons In an appropriate speech, in
which he expressed tho gratitude of the work
ingmen 10 their friend and benefactor. At the
conclusion of his remarks, the procession
marched TO the White House, but finding the
President absent went 10 Wormleys, where
the Attorney-General was serenaded and re-
sponded in a few chosen words.
The procession then called at the residence
of Senator Logan, but learned that no was Mt
General Beale's. 1t then started on the return
70 the Navy-Yard, and on the way serenaded
Vice-President Davis at the National Hotel,
and stopped at the residence OF General But
ler where round of applause was given for
the General, who was absent from home.

Mile. Rhea at Ford's.

Mile. Rhea was entertained In Pittsburg
and In other cities by fhe best people in the
lruest sense Of the word. Until we witnessed
1lle. khea's performance yesterday evening
we have seen no one act Camille without think
ing that the word 'iove" was profaned Mile.
Rheas art lifts the character of Camille up;
does for II what neither Mod1eska nor Bern
hardt could do; makes OF IL woman OF noble
instincts, whose better nature is easily
sacrifice, like that dolinoated by Jean Da-
veDport, at once appeals 10 all that un-
derlies sweet charity, and to our sense
OF Justice. Anything more pathetic than the
"cainillc" Mile. Rhea prest nis In the closing
scenes Is rarely witnessed in stage representa-.
lions. We venture TO say that the occasional
theatre-goer who witnesses ''Camille" for the
hist time acted by the company at Library
Hall VIII retire under the Impression that he
or hhe mas witnessed an evidence of love and
devotion such as IS rarely witnessed In real
life. Nile Rhca's art is so consummnte that
she impresseh one with the belief that he
is contemplating an extremely graceful, re-
fined, dignined woman, possessing qualities
which would adorn any sphere on life, She
is a thorough Modteska, ana every way more
attractive. She is genuine, where Bernhardt
was a wonderful specimen OF art. Mr.. Got
thold as s'Armand" rendered her able support
He has never but once appeared TO as good ad-
vantage before Pittsburg audience, or acted
more forcibly ana naturally. Mr.. Clifton was
the best ''COunt de Narvtlle" we have ever
seen. Mr.. Yarrey, an admirable actor, was
excellent In the part Of IN. Duval."-Pifts-
