pretty one. The natural beauty of the grounds,
the emerald brilliance of the wellkept lawns and
mounds forming a fitting back ground for the
happy, laughing, rollicking multitude of diminu

Hubbards, the brightest of bonnets, the prettiest
of plaids and the neatest knee breeches. The
egg rolling contests, although apparently aimless
and meaningless to the spectator, were earnest
and enthusiastic and provoked the greatest mer-
riment and delight. President Arthur was an
interested spectator to the children's amuse-

had just reached the point where they intended
beginning labor when the explosion occurred,

first it was thought many others were in that
part of the mine and had perished, but it is now
certain that they were the only
ones killed. William Kints was 800

struck on the head by a flying pick and sus-

LONDON, April l4.-The appearance of Law
renee Barrett at the Lyceum Theater on Satur-
day night, in "Yorick's Love, is made the ocea-
sion for extended comment and criticism by all
the morning papers AS usual there is great
variety of opinion. Much is found to commend
and much to condemn. The Times recognizes
that he is highly trained actor, and says: ''He
will always please, even if he can never stir an
audience" The Standard finds in him no tragic
power, and declares that he fails when passion is
required. The Telegraph thinks that many will
be pleased to see IAN actor so full of magnetism
and so glib Of tongue in Shakspearian drama"
The News, however asserts that his calculated
efforts and studied effects are too obvious Tho

lect than to the emotional nature"

Sweet simplicity has always been associated
in my mind with the character Of Dora, David
Copperfeld's " child-wife."
1t was she, You will remember whose pretty
little head would "ache so" at the sight of
figures or dreadful books with hard questions
in them, and whose world of devotion to her
husband amounted to no further sharing of
lifes cares and perplexities than to sit content

and sleepily hold the pens" while he wrote.
NO PLACE FOR DORA CoPPERFIELDs.
Perhaps our own country, of so much intelli-
gence and industry, is not without her simple
beauties as pitiably sweet as this creation of
the English novelst's brain; but dare to-day
to positively assert that the WOman's Relief
Corps at least has no place for them. True,
aching heads and heavy eyes there may be,
and hands that sometimes weary in the tire

ali the fair faces that in my imagination shine
out from the numerous letters and toil-telling
papers before me, not one that speaks her ex-
perience for the substance of this column but is
radiant with the true beauty of wOmanhood,
goodness and strength.

cessful, let the following condensed report of

Toledo, will deliver the annual address. The
address will be historical in character and con-
fined mainly to the Red River campaign under
Gen. Banks in the Spring Of 1864. The Goth
Ohio participated actively in this campaign,
and was one of the first to engage the Confed-
crate forces at the battle of Sabine Cross
Roads, near Mansfield La, on the Sth of April,
1864. The 96th Ohio lost heavily in killed and
wounded; its Colonel, j. w. Vance, of Mount
Vernon, at the time in command of brigade,
being among the killed. He was recognized as
one of the bravest and best of officers, and his

as found on page AZ of the Carroll Mem orial:
"NEwBURGH, N. ", Feb. g. 1878.
MY DEAR MADAME: l am much obliged for the
pamphlet you sent me. . i never knew be-
fore with whom the plan of the Tennessee River
originated There seemed TO be mystery attached
to il that could not solve. q Though Gen.
Buell. sent me an immense amount % documents
relating to this campaign, could find no reference
to the origin of the change of plan. Afterwards /
saw it attributed to Halleck, which / knew to be
false and noticed he never corroborated it. 1t is
strange that after all my research it has rested with
you to enlighten me. Money cannot pay for the
plan of that campaign. i doubt not Con-
eress will show, not liberaty. but justice in
the matter
Yours very sincerely, j. r. HEADLEY."
