THE TABERNACLE FAIR.
Its Opening at Odd Fellows HalI-who
Assist Mt the Various Tables.

Despite the weather q very large assembly
was present when, at o'clock last evening,
DR.. Rankin formally opened the Eageston
temperance tabernacle fair at Odd Follows
hall, A glowing tribute was paid to the
memory of Mr.. Eagleston. The decorations of
the hall are decidedly elegant and artistic,
and were dcservcdly admired by all present.
A fine display of Brussels, Smyrna, and
Turkey rugs is presided over by Mrs. Jecko
and Mrs. Marvel. Miss Annie Held, as Re-
bccca, and her assistants, Miss Matte Davidson
and Miss ]. Baker, were kept very busy at
the we'll. The fancy goods table, i'll charge of
Mrs. Rogers, is n perfect beauty, and herself
and assistants, Miss Eschley, Miss Edith Corn
wall, Mrs. j. L. Powers, and Miss Marche
We're kept very busy.
Mrs. George G. Rice, daughters, and Miss
Stevens have charge of table rcpletc with
selection of elegant fancy goods. The art
table is in charge of Miss Nan White, assisted
by tho Misses Barklets and Miss Ella
Walters. Tho confectionery stand did u
lively business, with Miss Kittie Darrall in
charge, assisted by Mrs Kaletron and Miss
May Held Miss Giddings, and Miss Darby.
Tho toy booth is in charge of Mrs. Darragh,
who is ably assisted by Mrs. Dalton, Mrs.
Brooks andthe Misses Levi The fruit stand
is presided over by Mrs. Andrews, assisted by
Miss Burlingame. A very elaborate collection
of art decorations is in the charge of Mrs.
Ecklofi, assisted by Mrs Swan and Mr.. Wal
cott
The printing Office table is ably presided

son. Fruit stand No. 2 is in charge of Miss
Hudson. The flower booth is presided over
by Miss Allie Burlingame. The supper room
is in charge of Mrs. G. Baker, assisted by
large and efficient corps of ladies who are kept
very busy. The executive committee have
done everything in their power to make the
fair a success, and their efforts have been
nobly seconded on every hand, notably so by
the market people who, through n committee,
consisting of Messrs. j. J. Lightfoot, j. II.
Burhes, L. Brooke and G. II. Mckay, have
supplied an abundance of the choice
things of the market, and which
account for the fine lunches and meals served
at very low prices. The Independent
Ice company furnishes gratis all ice, and
which is quite an item. The voting for the
several articles was spirited, and in every re-
spect the fair may be said to be grand sue
cess. Two bamboo reeds to be seen are alone
worth visit to the fair. The elegant like
ness of "Bud" and the address delivered by
DIR. Rankin on Sunday are on sale.
Mr.. Jecko entertained those present with
several fine selections on the beautiful up
right piano being voted for. Mr. Whipplc,
Miss Katie Elliss, and Mrs. Kalstrom rendered
some highly appreciated vocal music.
The fair will continue tonight and to-mor-
row night, and it should be crowded, that the
amount realized may be sufficient to sent the
tabernacle along with boom.

COMMISSIONER oLMsTEAD.
Not So Much Opposition to His Confirma-
tion After All.


Some of the New York papers which were
so violently opposed to the improvements
which took place in Washington ten years
ago, which changed the national capital from
mudhole TO u beautiful city, are now en-
deavoring to show that there is much strenu-
Gus opposition to the confirmation of Mr.. Olm-
stead as district commissioner. A REPUBLI-
CAN reporter, with Il view to ascertain how
much opposition had been developed,
yesterday instituted careful investiga-
tiOn, and found that there had been
filed with the senate district committee
a copy of Il portion of the record in the Suth-
erland and Hillyer case against Mr.. Olmstead
and some charges by a Mr.. Green, of tho firm
of Prcsbrey IL Green, as to certain transac-
tiOns which he is said to have had while con-
neeted with the Washington brick machine
company. The Hillyer case il is learned, is
still in the courts, and, of course, us an able
senator remarked, it is not known what the
result will be until the trial is concluded. So
far as the charges of Green arc concerned,
Mr. HalbrOOk superintendent of the Wash
ngton brick machine company, has sent
letter to the senate committee, emphatically
denying the allegations mado by Mr.. Green.
This denial will also be supported by the state
ments of Judges Cox and Wylie, two of the di-
rcctors in the company.
Besides the general feeling in Mr.. Ohm
stead's favor there has been the warm indorse-
mont Of the moneyed interest," AS evidenced
by the resolutions of the stock exchange, al
ready published in THE REPUBLICAN, and a
letter from prominent real estate firm was
yesterday sent to the committee commanding
in the strongest terms the fitness of Mr.. Ohm
stead for the position to which he has been
nominated, and urging his confirmation.
At the meeting of the senate committee on
the District of Columbia yesterday, the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Olmstead was considered aud
referred to n subcommittee, consisting of
Senators Rollins aud German, with instruc-
tions to report upon it at the next meeting of
the committee. Senator Rollins said last
night the papers would be thoroughly ex-
amined by Mr., German and himself, and that
they would probably be able to report to the
whole committee by next Thursday.

siunor Mobiles Readings.

Last night at the Spencerian business col
lege Signor A. Alexander Mobile gave II liter
ary and musical entertainment, which was
very well attended. Signor Mobile gave
recitations in English, French, and Italian.
The recitations given by him having evidently
been studied with the intention of reproduc-
ing, as far as possible, the meaning of the
various authors, and not merely as an
illustration of memoric power. He knows
how to suit the action to the word
and the word to the action. Naturally
not appearing to as good advantage in his En-
glish selections as in the others, he showed in
them that he possessed true elocutionary
powers. Probably the best selection on the
programme was Voltaire's Massacre of st.
Bartholomew" in French. During the even
ing Mrs. King rendered some appropriate
piano solos, while Miss Victoria Demongeot
and Master Alexander King sang some well

woMAN,s LABOR LEAGUE.
II Goes for Civil Service Os Prncticed in tho
DEPARTMENTS.

The regular monthly meeting of the wom-
ans national labor league was well attended
last night and was very interesting one, A
letter was received and read from Gen. G. T.
Bcauregard, in which he praised the object
of the league and said that he hoped the good
work would be carried on. Mrs. Wcks read
very interesting paper on the "Schoosand
School Teachers" Mrs Smith made strong
address detailing the standing of the league.
Mrs. Charlotte O'Brien, who is an honorary
member of the league, and who is at
present in Ireland, wrote letter from Dublin,
in which she says that she intends to give q
series of lectures in Dublin and London on the
league, and hopes to infusc the ladies of those
cities with the object Mrs. Smith, in her
remarks, stated that there was not u woman
in the departments appointed from Michigan.
A resolution was adopted setting forth that
the league had believed that civil service re-
form was intended for the hest interests of the
government departments but that the pro-
fcssions are disrcgardcd, and civil service re-
form in the government departments is made
uso of for pecuniary benefit of official pets.
The resolution also cites the case of n Mrs. A.
X. Evans, who has been employed in
tho Postohico department for twenty
years. She has been receiving the same
salary for the past ten years, while clerks re-
Gently appointed are receiving moro pay for
less work, and the league pledge their un
ceasing efforts to mitigate the evils of the
complaint A copy of the resolutions was Or
dered to be sent to President Arthur and
the various heads of the departments. A very
valuable and interesting paper has been pre-
pared by Mrs. Smith, in which the total num-
ber of women employed in the United States
is given. Tho paper shows that there arc
about 100000 women employed in the mills,
who are paid on an average of eighty cents
per day. One million five hundred thousand
us sales ladies at an average of eighty cents
per day. There are, the paper states fully
three million women employed otherwise.
The paper also gives the percentage which
the proprietors make from the labor of their
employees. Senator Blair has invited Mrs.
Smith to appear before the senate committee
on education and labor and read the paper,
which she will do after the holidays.

Christmas EestiyaI,

The Christmas festival of the Fr1bal in
stitute and kindergarten in the lecture room
of the Congregational church, notwithstand-
ing the inclement weather last evening, was
well attended, most of the parents and rela-
tives of the pupils being present in large num-
bers. The programme was an excellent one,
and was composed of songs, recitations, and
tableaux. The little ones showed the good
training they had received, and conducted
themselves in charming manner. They de-
serve especial praise for the clear pronuncia-
tion in both reading and vocal efforts. At
the conclusion of the exercises the smallest
scholars presented their parents with Christ
mas gifts, their own handiwork at school,
made up very prettily for some useful pur-
nose.

A SPECIMEN COLDER.

The Chronicles anxiety to beat the
air with the ssblmdy shirt" leads it into
saying that the Republican ticket has
no soldiers on ii. The Enterprise
quotes the following from s.Thompson'-
History of Nevada" to show what kind
Of IA soldier the Democrats have put on
their ticket for Supreme Judge. On
page 224 the following will be found ::
On the breaking out of the civil war
the subject of this sketch relinquished
his studies and entered the Confederate
service as a private in the Sixth Ken
lucky Inf'n,ry, which became early in
1861 attached to the famous "First
Kentucky Brigade" commanded by
General John c. Breckenridge. After
the battle of Shiloh, in which he par
ticipated, Mr.. Stone was transferred to
the Sixth kentucky Cavalry, Dukes
Brigade, and served with the "Raid-
ers' Division" commanded by the cele-
DRAFTED John H. Morgan, until the close
of the war, and was member of the
Jefferson Davis escort until within a
few hours of President Davis capture
the escelt having been diSbanded just
before that event TRANSFERRED. Mr..
Stone witnessed and participated in
many of the hald-fnught battles.
Among these were Shiloh, stone River,
Siege of Wick burg, Chicanlauga, Mis-
sion Ridge and numerous other engage
tnents, and rose to the rank Of Captain
of cavalry in 1864.
With this record Stone ought to get
the whole party vote and secure the
support of every man who is pOkins
a.out amid the ashes of the Confederary
to find some spark which by proper
nursing can be made to again burst into
the blaze of IT bellion.

The Cnkindest Cut OF All.

Colorel Jerry Moore, of Eiko county,
a short time since made Il grand flop,
landing in the BOSOM of the Democratic
party. The Colonel has been elected to
Office by the Republican party, but he
imagined his share Of the " leaves and
fishes" was not as large as his services
to the party entitled him to-hence the
aforesaid flor. We see from the report
Of the proceedings of the Democratic
Convention in EIko the other day that
the gallant Colonel was still following
his old trade-that Of drumming for
Office" He was candidate for the
! A semb!y, but he was most ungraciouSly
sat down ON by the unterritied. Sudden
conversions sometimes fail to bring the
expected reward. The redoubtable
Colonel may now say "God save me
from my friends" Hic .jacet, Jerry

Pay Ore.

Concerning what constitutes "p y
ore" there is among the uninitiated
and tyros in the mining business great
variety of opinions. These opinions
are often grossly 1T fault us they are
sometimes approximately correct. 1t is
a common thing for a miner or il pros
pector, when he has made '.strike"
that returns Il good average value, to
speak of its richness only, ignoring that
which is now considered as of chief
mportance-quantity. In Il certain
district there may be dozen mines.
Some of them may be large producers
and return good profits to their owners,
though when informed of the grade Of
the ore, the stranger is struck with
what appears to be its apparent lowness.
Close 10y may be Il mine famous for the
richness Of its product, and yet lying
Idle. Investigating the why's and
where1ores of this, he usually finds that
the large producer is what is commonly
termed ..lOW grade' mine, bnt that
the body of ore is such that it Cali be
mined and handled cheaply, while at
the same time it is susceptible of treat
ment by the simplest processes. On
the other hand, the so-cai!ed rich mine
will be found in ii streak enca>ed be-
tween walls of hard rock, portions of
which have to be blasted out in order
10 obtain the mineral itself. The cost
of doing this, and the necessary sorting
by hand afterwards, together with that
of reducing, runs up the expense Of
operating to figures beyond those cal
The consequence is that the owner
cannot afford to work ii, and keeps his.
property on the market r sale. And
though he does this, and does it with Il
full knowledge of the value Of his
properly, he will persist in keeping it
at a price which corresponds rather
with his idea Of the value Of the ore
and which does not contemplate the
matter Of quantity at all In such in
stances the product of the GLOW grade"
mine would be pay ore, while on the
contrary that of the rich mine would
not lie.
