Tho Ton o. the Morning.

There was only a slim attendance at the
Richmond Theatre last night TO see Mr..
John f. Ward, the Irish comedian, in the
character play, the "TOp o the Morning"
The play is poorly connected. and is almost
devoid Of plot, but abounds in Irish With
cisms which Mr.. Ward delivered with such
genuine Irish accent and warmth aS TO
brine out genuine applause and laughter.
He is certainly Irish. and is a very good
actor. Little Lille Ward. as the Colleen
Agra. engaged the strictest attention OF
the audience and won the hearts OF all by
her natural acting. She is hardly more
than eight years Of age, and Is quite won
der. The company, as n whole, cannot
expect much unless they make great i'm
provement.
Last night the orchestra was short two
pieces. and this created a noticeable void
in the evenings entertainment. Tonight
the play will be repeated under more favor
able circumstances, and at Saturday matt
nee and Saturday nights entertainment
a new play called "Morna Doom" will be
presented. This is said to be a much more
interesting play than the "Top o. the

THE LEE MONUMENT.
Proposed Confederate Ball, Modelled
after the Colonial Ball.

II next year we should succeed IN con-
soiidating the three funds about S35, ,00O)
now IN hand for the building OF Lee
monument in Richmond, and should Sc
cure a plan which would justify the lay
ing OF the cornerstone In October, the
surviving members OF the Army OF Northern
Virginia would reassemble in Richmond
in such numbers as to make gathering
forever memorable. There would be pre-
sent real generals. colonies, majors, cap
tains, and lleutenant,, and prvates-many
OF the last now famous men-by thou
sands. II would be the time for Con-
federate ball. somewhat OF the character
OF the Colonial ball had here few years
ago-only the gentlemen would not wear
queues and runled- shirts and knee-breecbes
OF hundred years ago, but the well-worn
gray and army shirts OF the war OF
1875.
Plenty Of the uniforms OF the officers
and privates are yet kept, and long will be
preserved as heirlooms, and could be pro-
duced for the occasion. The ladies would
appear In such dresses as suited the time
represented; they may be relied upon to
make them up in good style and adapted
TO their varying types OF beauty. We
could invite eX-President Davis to come
that week, and no doubt he would accept.
SO would Beaureglrd, Johnston, Early,
