WASHINGTON is fortunate during the present

w AsHINGToN Is fortunate during the present
in being the field for the exhibition of some of
the best musical and dramatic talent now on the
American stage, and 1t is strong evidence OF the
growing taste of our people that they prompt to
aiow their appreciation of that which is really ex-
dsileht and truly appeals to the refining Influences
which are the outgrowth of genuine art. We have
beauty such as is illustrated by Bierstadt, Story
Milh, Rheinhardt, Turner, and hundreds of other
workers in the aesthetic realm whose are written
the golden frames In households and the sheen
of genius is everywhere half hidden In embems that
mark the culture of the age. We have beauty In
still another form, which finds appreciation in equal
If not larger measure-that which personifed In our
theatres. During the past two weeks the Boston
Ideal Company have given performances that were
written all over with excellence. Tomorrow
night aud during the week, We to have still other
representative types OF the highest dramatic art
Salyni the tragedian and Charles Wyndbam with his
London Criterion Comedy Company-the first at the
National and the other at FOrd's opera House Acci-
dent doubtless has brought these great artists to-
gether at the same time in the same city, but they
cannot antagoni2e. Each occupies sphere bounded
by different limits. Salvin brings to us the solid
traditions OF Shakespeare, while Wyndham surrounds
himself with the airy retwOrk OF mIrth which from
tue time of GarTick has held the public in its leash
AS the artistic and pecuniary of the Ideals
great doubtless will be that of the stars who
are TO appear among us during the coming week, for
our play goers are quick to discriminate between the
true and the false, the gilt and the gold We have
only conJunctively quoted the three types OF
tainment-that of the Boston Ideal Opera Company
Wyndham, and SalynI-to show that whatever Is
meritorOus viii always find In Washington a warm
welcome. The trash of the stage is too abundant
bot in our cosmopolitan community real talent will
always find its clientele.

A FRIEND sends u.s. with the remark ex-
" plode this" Texas newspaper, with an
article entitled "Why the Confederate Sol
"dier Failed" taken from McCarthy's
% Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Yir-
"gnia, and containing the usual South,
ern mistatements of the forces opposing each
other in the Union and rebel armies. The
points involved are the subects of constant
controversy between Northern and Southern
historians, and the two will probably never
during this generation agree as to the facts.
II is not necessary for us to 90 in detail into
the work OF " exploding" Mr.. McCarthy's
statements. His figures of the respective
numbers engaged on the Peninsula, at
Charlottesville, at Gettysburg and in the
Wilderness are all vide Of the truth, how
wide we shall not now take the trouble OF
showing in detail that will appear in the
official history Of the rebellion new in course
OF preparation at ths War Records Once.

The Curious Deforrnity OF Connect.
lieut. BOy.

Norwalk Comm correspond ant Of
the New York H'Oii describes the atraup
deformity OF l7-year-old boy living in
that town. His name Is Thomas Harden
and his father is q railroad laborsr.
Tom has been kept concealed from the
public gazs by his parents from his birth.
The hoth correspondent found Tom
half sitting and half reclining in an
invsiid's easy chair. Ths boy is totally
devoid of shoulders, and from the centre
Of his back two arms, with well-formed
hands, grew from single joint. The
hands and arms are devoid of feeling,
and are also afflicted with strange,
continual motion, sweeping around in a
circle like a windmill, the arms b4irg
stretched out at full length and moving
in opposite directions.
This motion never ceases EXCEPT when
the arms are tied together, and the arms
are covered with scars from contact with
the walls, tables, chairs, &c.
His body is further deformed by the
joining of the legs as far as the knee.
Here the right leg is turned back and
upward until the heel strikes the centre
OF the back, where it is firmly mbeided
in the flesh.
He ia mentally bright, and oonversed
freely and intulligently with the reporter
about the few books his parent had been
able to provide for him and about articles
he read in the newspapers, which are
occasionally supplied to him.
Said his mother: "fgs is great care
to us, being unable to help himself at all.
But he is Just as dear to me as if he wag
like other children. | suppose he could
be exhibited, but as long as his father or
myself have life in our bodies to work
for him he never shall be-"
