OUR SAIL TO LANCASTER. z
On Friday Of last week a party 0,
lovers of pleasure more than case, witt
a trusty pilot, boarded a s'ship with one
mast,' a schooner with two masts,'' q
s.sloop with three masts. = and notwith.
standing their limited knowledge Of
nautical tactics, set sail for the poit Of
Lancaster.
The ship was somewhat after the fash.
ion of a canal boat, with this difference,
the willingness of their four rugged sails
to do good service being only equaled
by their inability to do SO.
However, about 6 p. we made har-
Dor and landed at the Mansion House,
where we were met by the genial host
n hostess and many other friends,
who having been cablegraphmed that
we were out at sea, prepared to give us
a warm welcome. :
After partarking of the hospitality so
botintifully provided by their thoughtful
kindness, we arranged our toilets which
had become somewhat ruflled by the
breeze, gentle thoughoit was, and re-
paired with our friends to the commodi-
GUS Opera House (Which by the way
does credit to the city and speaks well
for the enterprise of its people) to hear
Helen Potter, who in her role is without
a superior and with but fewi if any equals.
She has evidently studied every phase
of life, and so identities herself with the
characters she personates that at one
moment we respond to the ludicrous
with shouts of laughter, and the next
the fountain of deep feeling is touched
and we offer the tribute of tears to this
woman of truly great genius.
Miss Potter has reached the zenith of
fame, may MANY moons wax and wane
ere the curtain of mortality's night
hides this gifted actress from an admir-
ing and appreciative public. haa

which brought forth the frequent cry
'sMy kingdom for q horse,n will hang

13 AN ENJOYABLE FEATURE. "a
There was one feature of the Helen
Potter Entertainment, =. at Lancaster,
last Friday evening, which was so fully
enjoyed by about forty lovers of choice
entertainment in our city, of which |
wish to make mention. as it was such a
pleasant surprise to many of us, and
was contributed, | am informed, rs a
tribute to the presence and kindly pat
ronage OF our people there represented.
| refer to the singing of Miss Carrie
Barber, o~fLancaster, during the changes
of costume incident to Miss Potter's i'm
presentations. Miss Barber Possesses a
soprano voice of excellent ttn,bre, and
added to more than ordinary natural
gifts she has acquired that degree of cul-
ture exceedingly rare to find outside of
professional circles. That her touching
rendition of old, popular ballads
though not calculated to exhibit her vo-
cal powers-were most happily appre-
eiated by her P%latteville auditors, / can
give most positive assurance. | would
fail in this connection to refer with
pleasure to the exquisite accompaniment
furnished by Miss Fisher, of Lancaster,
who also favored the audience with a
really fine organ selection.

The Porter debate in the Senate
brought our the following scathing re-
marks from Senator Conger who said:
No measure had been introduced in
in congress since he had been Il men,
Der whose passage would so shock the
moral sense of the people of the north.
If Firz John Porter had shown a 1.-THE
of the diligence to get to the army
when it was struggling for existence at
at Groveton that he and his friends
were now eXerting to get him reinstated
the result of that contest might have
been different from what it was. He,
Conger, would warn any northern man
who voted for this bill, that no matter
how many pensions he obtained for
soldiers, or how many pension arrears
acts he voted for he could not deceive
the people, but he had no fear the bill
would eve become a law. 1t might
pass the senate now, but it would not
pass the house either in this congress
or next, because, although the political
friends of Porter would have q large
majority in the next house, the mem-
bers would have heard from the people
in the meantime and members of con-
gress were sometimes afraid to meet
their constituents when they had done
some unpopular thing.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, under the
change inaugurated with the beginning
OF the year. presents al appearance
equal to any of the great dailies. A
thorough examination of its columns
will convince any n that Milwaukee
has succeeded in obtaining what was
SO long needed in that city, a live,
newsy, daily journal that would hold its
own with any paper in the northwest.
The old hyphenated name is dropped
and the paper is now known by the
homelike name of Sentinel. The new
Sentinel is certainly deserving Of an en-
ergetic and steady support. This much
is due from the people of Wisconsin in
recognition of the enterprise and pluck
of its proprietors. If this counts for
anything the Sentinel is destined to
take a front rank among the leading
journals of the day.
