OUR DISTRICT MALITIA.

And incident came TO our notice a
few days ago which goes to show that
whether the sun moves or not, the
world occasionally has room for
changes.
The incident, as we learn it, is that
Mr. j. w. Butler, the prominent mer-
chant on Pennsylvania avenue, and
one OF the leading citizens of this
District, sent a request the other day
to Captain Fleetwood Of the Wash
ington Cadet Corps to stop in and see
him some day when passing that way.
The captain did SO, and after speaking
N the most complimentary terms of
our colored militia, Mr.. Butler stated
that il was his desire, murder TO show
his interest in them and to stimulate
Them at the same time, to offer a prize
10 be competed for between the colored
companies Of the District exclusively,
about September, or October next.
The matter was informally discussed
by The commanding officers of the
companies at meeting held ON Tues
day last for other purposes and all eX-
pressed themselves in favor of the sug-
geStion. Should the plan be matured
IT will add fresh impetus to the drill
of the cadets in June as the practice
Will he of great service TO those engage
lng IN the later drill.

The silver King.

THE Silver King isl drama of the
purest metal and skilfilly constructed,
and thoroughly consistent with all the
intricacies Of dramatic requirements. Its
every act Is clearly defined moral of the
evils of intemperance. Its sentiment is
grand, elevating and ennobing. The
authors of THE Silver King have at,
complished what alllother dramatists have
heretofore failed in. g., in producing
dramatic picture whose every feature
charms the eye and ear and carries with il
force that could hardly be equaled with
the most profound temperance utter
ances from either plupit or platform
The scenic effects are by long odds the
best seen in Memphis this season, and are
the creations Of Il master hand. From
the rise OF the curtain until the conclusion
Of the final act the play runs smoothly
and perfectly in all its minutive. The
interludes are marvelously b.ief Mr.. Il.
g. Bangs, as Wilfred Denver, fully sns-
tanned his excellent r,putati0n and IA
fused intense warmth In his passages Of
pathos and remorse. Miss Helen Blythe,
as Nellie Denver, and Miss Rdna Comt-
ney, as Olive Skinner, filed their res
pective roles with cOnsummate skill. Mr..
+. N. Ross, as Captain Skinner, or the
Spider" is deserving Of Of unlimited
praise for the masterly manner In which
he impersonated the swell London thief
The support all around was good. The

Departure of veterans.

officer J, Il. Fletcher who arrested
Cassidy and Ruiz for passing the new
gilded nicl,els for half eagles, went to
San Francisco last night, to testify in
the ease before the u. S. District Court.
u. S. Deputy Marshal Dunlap went up
with Montgomery, the burglar, who was
on his way to San Quentin. Among the
baggage of the two officers was neat,
trim wheelbarrow, and that feature of
their plunder was said to signify that
they would spend all their money while
waiting on the court, and have to "hoof
it, back at their leisure. 1t was agreed
among the high contracting parties that
the Marshal should wheel his brother
officer till his own feet became sore,
when the other hero should dismount
and wheel the veteran Marshal till the
motive power should get weary,
when another swap would be
made. This will work well till
they mount Tehachepe, when there
will be danger unless the Wcsting-
house fluid brake, which Fletcher took
in bottle, is applied internally. Should
the bottle become broken and the ordi-
nary brakes be relied on solely, there
will be great danger from snake-bites
and runaway cars, and collision with the
Ten Commandments. Both gentlemen
bade a tender adieu to their friends, who
in return hoped that on the dry plains
of San oaquin, Providence would tender
a dew to them to cool their burning
brows. Selah.
