profitable piece of real estate was the famous Lawrence estate at Ochre Point, New port, which was bought by the late William Beach Lawrence, less than forty years ago, for $12, ,000. He sold villa sites to Walter H. Lewis, Pierre Lorillard, J. Fred. Kerno- chan, Fairman Rogers and Geo. Fl. PsndIe- ton. Since his death 8 parcel has been sold to Miss Catherine L. Wolfe for $21O, GOO, and another to Gen. James H. Van AIen for $100,0oo. Other building sites were taken at corresponding prices by Mrs. O'Donnell, Mrs. Acosta, Prof. Charles w. Shields, Fitch J. Bosworth, and Mrs. Julia Fl. Eldridge. The amount realized thus far from Mr. Law rence's farm is over $500, 900, and there yet remain unsold several building sites. The latest purchase WAS made few days ago by G. G. Haven.

The London Neaos thus attempts to console those members of Congress whose power may be decreased by Civil Service Reform :: They may feel their importance at first di- unfinished by the change; but ultimately they will welcome the relief from importantly which it will bestow upon them. They will no longer have to make dozen or a score of enemies for every friend whom they oblige. The same change has taken place in England. Since the system of civil service examinations came into force there have been no offices which members could solicit for useful or troublesome constituents, and the very title of patronage secretary of the treasury has been misnoner. The patron age secretary is relieved from the pressure of members, and members are relieved from the pressure of their constituents. The change will be much greater in the United States than it was in England.
 There is navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but if the Manchester MjrroT is right it is not an unmixed blessing to the place. The Mirror says that the population of Portsmouth has fallen of 1,50O since the census of 1880; that there are now in the city twenty-two vacant stores and more than 100 vacant tenements, and that there has not been new house erected within the city limits for year. It attributes this decay to the navy yard, which, like an immense sore, "saps the vitality and destroys the energy, ambition and enterprise of the city" The Mirror gives for it's belief the following req son Because, in the first place, no manu- facturer can live in place where the gov ernment pays men large wages for doing very easy work, if by courtesy it can be call ed work, eight hours 8 day. The competi- ton is simply ruinous. Nobody will enter 8 private establishment who can get work in the yard, and those who cannot will do no more for days pay than do those in the yard.

DULL PLAY ON TEDIOUS SUBJECT.
New York Tribune.
In technical sense the play is defective
for lack of sequence in thee acts One act
does not flow naturally out of another. The
five OF them are interludes, hitched together
by what Bulwer once called the subtle
nexus. That is, the connecting link has to
be supplied by the reader or spectator Then,
too the incidents are forced, even for a melo-
drama. The behavior of the Colonel toward the
pretty bar-maid Vera in the first act, is con-
trary to all that was ever known of soldiers
or of human nature. To make a woman the
leader of national instruction was foolish.
The Czarevitch would not be a Nihilist, or if
he were he would not declare it. There is no
adequate reason for his disclosure of him
self in the throne-room. He acts from mere
gasconade. There is a silly use of documents
character OF the Gar is childish
and ridiculous, and that sovereign
talked so much and so badly
last night that everybody was glad when he
got shot, and only wished he had been shot
before. The omission of the heroine from
the central act of the play makes drecdful
hiatus in the interest. The sketch of man.
ners at the court of st. Petersburg is silly,
and the colloquy of the ministers and cour-
tiers would disgrace the pen of a schoo-boy.
Finally, the style throughout is ford and
sophomorical, and unworthy of a scholar.
Such fustian as Mr.. Wilde causes to be ut
tered about liberty would hardly have been
acceptable even in the tunid and shrieking
old Fourth-of-J ulr orations of thirty or forty
years ago. Mr.. Wilde's text also, some
times shows good memory. His best senti-
ment-the line about enemies-is taken
from Sheridan, and not improved in the
filter. His best imagery is from the Bible.
He has produced a dull play on tedious
subject but it is play that may be sharp
ened by tudicious pruning and made useful

Miss Mary Prescott's performance was
marked by much pugnacity of temperament
and a hard flint-like manner of delivery, an
gular movements and metallic vocalism.
Miss Prescott was adorned in costly raiment,
sometime of ugly colors, and at moments in
the representation she spoke with quite
feline volubility and shrillness. As a dis
turbance the acting of this lady is effective;
but it lacks tenderness of spirit and grace of
style, and is deficient in discretion, balance,
polish and fine intelligence. A common

The Ohiec.s Of the G. Ar

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jouruan
In your issue OF to-day | find under the
heading THE Grand Army's Object" an
answer to the Question, What is the object
of the Grand Army of the Republc?' The
prominent (?) member of whom the question
was asked responds as follows: ut is the
real army of the United States. 1t is an
association OF veterans who are ready to fight
for the government in case of war;" Why
did not our prominent member give cor
rect and true answer to the question? First,
let me remark that the Grand Army is not
the ''real army of the United States" 1t
has no connection with the army of the
United States. In the second place, we are
under no more obligations than any other
citizen to fight for the government in case
of war;" Our prominent" member winds
up his remarks by saying: "Our country is
the sole object of our organization" Won
derful declaration. If he will turn to the
first page OF the rules and regulations of the
Grand Army of the Republic he will find
the following to be the objects of the Grand
Army:
l. To preserve and strengthen those kind and
fraternal feelings which bind the soldiers, sail
ors and marines who united to suppress the late
TeDtlnOi, anu 10 the memory ana
history of the dead.
2. To assist such former comrades In arms as
need help and protection, and to extend needful
aid to the widows and orphans of those who
have fallen.
B. TO maintain true allegiance TO the United
States OF America, based upon paramount re-
spect for, and fidelity to- the national constitu-
ton and laws; to discOuntenance whatever tends
to weaken loyalty, incites TO insurrection, trea-
son or rebellion, or In any manner mpaIrs the
efficiency and permanency of our free institu-
tions; and TO encourage the spread of universal
liberty, equal rights and Justice to all men.
These are the objects of the Grand Army
of the Republic. My object in referring to
the matter is to show to your readers that
the Grand Army OF the Republic is neither a
political nor military organization. While
this is true, we are at liberty to join militia
companies or the regular army and still
retain membership in the post to which we
belong. A READER.

OF Willie Loo Chang, an outcome of tn e
Waynesboro disturbances, several legislators,
chief of whom was Mr.. Jordan of Hancock,
determined to break up the mixture of races
by making such marriages unlawful. A bill
on the subject has already undergone pre-
liminary readings and will in few days be
called for final action. This made slight
connection in the Chinese colony in Angus
ta who found that immediate action was
necessary. A well-known magistrate was
called upon to perform the marriage cere-
mony, and upon arriving at the location,
found Jim Chang, a Chinaman, and Miss
Mary E. Jones, well-developed, shapely-
looking white woman, surrounded by many
friends, among them the mother of the
bride, Mr.. and Mrs. Loo Chang and Others
After the nuptial knot was tied congratula-
lions were given. The bride received hand
some presents, among them a $50 Chinese
fan. A big dinner was spread. The groom
runs grocery store, does a good business
and is making money. The counting was all
done in two weeks Mr. Jordan now ex-
presses determination to call up his bill and
push it vigorously ere other yellow manikins

London Truth.
Mrs. Langtry's appearance at Drury Lane,
on the first night of Freedom" excited
great interest among the audience She
looked uncommonly well, as youthful as
ever, and apparently by no means overbur-
dened by the weight of the spoils she has
brought from America, amounting, it is
said, to 100000. Her intention of giving a
matinee at the Gaiety, before leaving for the
provinces, has been denied by the gossips,
but on Monday last, she was to be seen in
her little single brougham returning from
that theater, through the thick of the Brad
laugh mob, who were shouting and patriot
acting up the Strand. So it is to be hoped
that she mas not yet given up all thoughts of
playing in London.
