On the evening OF Monday, the 26th
Of May, the Wilberforce Concert Com
pany will give one of their attractive en-

such a rich musical treat to our citizens.
The Wilberiorce company takes highest
rank among the colored troupes of the
country. It is composed of graduates of
Wilberforce University and is working
in the interests of that institution. At
the Monona Lake Assembly last summer
their singing formed the chief attraction,
and those of our citizens who heard them
then commend them to the patronage of
all lovers of music. The programme for
Monday next ranges from the humorous
to the classical.

side the party whip was cracked to keep
this one man down. The SOutherners
were taunted with being rebels, Grant

ratlons to meet in front of the Allard resi-
dence and go in search of a minister. The
mother found it out, and forging her
daughters writing sent Cooper q note
telling him not to come. Cooper saw the
deception, went to the house, aided his
sweetheart to escape from the front hall
while her mother was trying to detain
her, and placed her in the waiting car

lie came to America with his parents from
switzerland when small boy, and settled
early in life at New Orleans. He went
out as Captain under Walker in the cele-
brated Nicaragua expedition, and was
one OF the few survivors of that desperate
undertaking. AT the breaking out of the
war he joined the Confederate forces in
Virginia, was detailed to the COmmissarv
Department, and in that capacity went to
Arkansas, from where he sent millions of
dollars worth of beef through the lines
TO the army, proving very expert and
successful IN the work. In the begin
ming OF the year 1868 he was sent on a
secret mission to Europe, and after his
return he was made Captain of the Secret
Service. In this office he had a great deal
to do getting medicines and cotton. COM

himself for that purpose. opening a sa-
loon as blind. After the close of the
war he continued the saloon business,
and at his death had accumulated a large
fortune. He had an insurance policy Of
100000 on his life in the Atlantic Mutual.
He was about 81 years old. He was re-
garded as one of the most peculiar char
acters in this part of the country, He
was retlcent about his private affairs to
an extraordinary extent, and though
shrewd and intelligent, made the invari-
able impression that he was a fool. This
made him peculiarly fitted for the work
given him during the war. In former
days he was one of the best poker players
in the South, at one time, now recalled,
betting $4,000 on a hand. At these games
his face was absolutely immOvabie. He
rarely lost, and was lucky enough during
his lite to draw three capital prizes in a
lottery
