The Kcmpa FamiIy's Concert Last
Night.
The concert given at Padgitts park
last night by the Kempa Ladies Or
chcstra was certainly grand enter
taiument, fully verifying the good
opinion expressed with regard TO the
high musical talent of this gifted tam
ily before their arrival in this town
The programme was quite an extern
sive one, carried out in iirst.class style
and thoroughly appreciated by the
large crowd present. A violin solo by
Miss Eva Kempa, whose vivacity was
not less admired than her graceful ex-
ecution. won rounds of applause,
while a cello solo by Miss HELENE
captivated her audience to such an
extent that nothing less than an en-
core would satisfy them. An orig
inal concerto Tor piano and orchestra
by Mr.. Pieczokta Kempa, which was
finely rendered by the whole
family. OF the ability of these
musicians too much cannot be said
a visit to the park tonight Will be
well worth the time and price of adj
mission. The management OF the re
freshment stands Is In the hands oil
Mr.. Kerkow and he seems TO have
spared no pains in making thu
grounds pretty and comfortable
Large Japanese lanterns were sus
pended from every available projec
| ton, which, together with.the heaven
own lamp, made the place perfec
lsummcr night retreat. 1t can b
truthfully said most enjoyable even
ing was spent by everyone present.

a dispatch from Scranton, Pa,
says: "While a party Of young
people were enjoying a social hour
Sunday evening at DurI's restau-
rant, in this city, the conversation
turned on the subject of matrimony,
and Fred. Martin, IN a joking
way, said that he would marry one
of the young girls present, named
Miss Gaffga, ifMr. Zimmerly would
marry another young lady, named
Miss Schadt. Iimmerly said he
was ready to do so at y moments
notice, and after a good deal of
laughter Alderman Roesler was
called in from an adjoining room
to tie the nuptial knot. Up to that
time Martin had never spoken Of
marriage to Miss Galiga, and when
the good .natured justice appeared
and announced that he was ready
to perform the ceremony then and
there, few of those present regard
ed the affair rs anything more
than a joke: but Martin asserted
that he was in earnest, and declar.
ed that if Miss Gaffga would &C.
cept him he was ready to become
her husband. His companions
heartily applauded this sentiment,
and the applause was renewed
when Miss Gaflga, blushing like a
June rose, took her place by his
side and indicated her willingness
to become his bride. That looks
like business said the alderman,
adjusting his spectacles. The
laughter of the spectators was
hushed, and the words were spoken
that made Mr.. Martin and Miss
GafIga husband and wife, Miss

Virginia Episcopal Council.

RICHMOND, VA, May 25.-The
Virginia Episcopal Council closed
its annual session yesterday. The
Rev. Churchill j. Gibson read an
interesting biographical sketch of
the deceased Bishop of Virginia.
Judge Shelley, from the special
committee, reported suitable re-
sponscs, which were adopted, to
the greetings from the Dioceses OF
West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
A resolution was adopted that
the subject OF employing evangel-
lists be referred to the executive
committee Of the Diocesan Mis-
sionary Society, and that the
salaries of the same,i employed, be
paid from the funds of the society.
The committee on the revision OF
the pTayerbOOk was continued.
Most Of the Episcopal pulpits
here were filled today by visiting
clergymen who have been in atten.
dance upon the council. Rev. Dr.
Boyden delivered a centennial
sermon this morning IN old and
historic st. Johns Church. After
the sermon the venerable Rev. DR..
Philip Slaughter read centennial
poem.
TO night Bishop Whittle deliver
ed his closing address at st. PauPs
Church. He opened his remarks
by recalling his early recollecti ons
of the distinguished Bishop Moore.
The speaker said that the progress
of the church in Virginia for the
century which has just closed was
a source OF great satisfaction to
him as well as all others interested
in its welfare. lie drew a picture
of the condition of the church in
Virginia at the time Bishop Moore
came to Virginia. At that time
there was but one church in Rich
mond. Bishop Whittle dated the
increase of the church from that
time.

JOHN A. LOGAA.
From the National Republica

From the National kepuOllcah'
No political event since the ONO
election of last October haso cca-
stoned such deep and general re-
ioicing among Republicans as the
election of General John A. Logan
TO the seat in the United States
Senate which he vacated on the
lth of last March.
There is no occasion for the Re
publican to repeat any OF the many
reasons why his election was deem
ed important and earnestly desired,
nor need We undertake to state the
many and obvious reasons for Ke'
publicans rejoicing over the result
of Yesterdays balloting at Spring
field.
In the great Republican heart OF
the country there is a deep and
abiding affection for John Logan
the greatest ofthe volunteer gener'
ais. and one of the bravest, truest-
| manifest men that ever stood up
for the rights in the halls OF Con
gress.
The Republic needs Logan in the
| Senate, and his State has merely
performed a duty in re-electlng him.
The contest was, indeed, a
memorable one. From the 4th day
of January to the hour of victory
on the 10Th Of May, General Logan
gave personal supervision to the
senatorial campaign. The election
of Weaver, which turned the scale
was planned with military precl
sion and executed with military
ardor by the veterans of that dis
trict.
General Logan comes out OF the
contest without a stain upon bls
| honor as a man commanding the
love of the Republican hosts and
the admiration of all manly Demo
Gratis.
At times excitement ran so high
that any evidence Of dislOyalty on
the part of the political friends OF
either candidate caused expressions
Of such a character that the would
DO traitors knew that If they betray
ed their trust they would be scOrn'
ed by all honorable men, and life
! in Illinois would not be worth hay
ing. This condition OF public pollt.
zeal sentiment efTectualiy crushed
out all Mugwumpism, trickery, ana
fraud.

Southern PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly,

There was a full attendance of
delegates, clerical and lay, on the
assembling of the Southern Presby-
terrain General Assembly at IIous-
ton, Texas, Thursday last. The re.
firing moderator, Rev. DR.. T. D..
Witherspoon, preached the open
ing sermon. The Rev. II. r. Ray
mond. D. d., of Alabama, was
chosen the new moderator. Ho is
well known as good presiding
officer, a fine scholar and an elO-
quent preacher. The Rev. DR.. II. p.
Ferris, of st. Louis, was chosen
permanent clerk.
At Saturdays session an over
ture came up from Columbia Pres
bytery which asked a consolidation
OF some of the executive commit.
tees, with a view to the retrench.
ment of expenses. The committee
on bills and Overtures reported
adversely to the request, and their
report was adopted by q decided
vote, after an animated discussion.
Augusta, Ga, where the first
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterians met in 1871, was
chosen by a small majority over
st. Louis as the place of meeting of
the assembly of 1886. A com
mittee was appointed to report a
plan Tor a Quarter-centennial cele-
bration of the organization Of the
church ut that assembly.
The Assembly spent Saturday
morning in hearing corresponding
delegates from the WOman'S Board
of Foreign Missions and Cumber.
land Presbyterian Gu urch, colored.
The work Of the assembly is now
under full Roadway. The discus
sions Saturday have awakened
great enthusiasm on the subject of
missions, &c. The attitude of the
church toward colOred people is
very gratifying to friends of that
race.

there would be no difficulty about
seeing them. Mr.. Barbour said he
supposed not, as he had q right to
see them. Then Mr.. Windsor said,

An interview with Attorney
General Blair, of Virginia, recently
published, gives definite view of
the rcpublican.read IUster program
for the coming campaign. lie
claims that the recent Supreme
Court decision will operate against
the Democratic party, which by its
action in the last legislature, where
it had a twO.thirds majority in
each branch, so tinkcrcd with the
Riddlebergcr bill as to render it
imperative and bring about the
very condition of things which the
decision condemns. The readjuster
legislature, which scaled down the
debt, permitted the coupons to be
received for all kinds Of taxes, in.
Guiding land, personal property,
capitation and license tax; the
only requirement Of the Riddleber-
ger law being that the coupon
should be proven to be genuine.
Thus 1t impaired no obligation OF
any contract and gave the creditor
all he could ask for his coupon.
The last depocratiG legislature en-.
acted "A law which declared that
coupons should not be received in
payment Of license taxes, aud which
repealed all former acts in conflict
with this act. The readjusters
claim that the validity of the Rid.

the Supreme Court in the case Of
Antoni vs.. Greenhow, and that its
constitutionality is in no way If.

1t is stated that several we'll
known detectives have been seen
in this section who, taken in con.
nection with the reported intention
of Hairston Terry's friends to
make an effort to identify his

they are around for that purpose.

LIBERTY, VA, May 25.-Nlrs.
John Glen, wife of q prominent
EngIishman of this county, met a
sad death by drowning in a small
stream near this place yesterday
afternoon. Owing to late heavy

VICTOR HUGO DEAD.

Victor Hugo, the great rrehon
poet and novelist, died May I'D,
in the eighty. fourth year OF his age.
For several days he had been ly'
ing at the point of death, but al
WAYS conscious. lie refused the
services of priest in his last hours,
and died as he lived-a nationalist.
Victor Hugo will probably be
ranked by pOsteIity as the greatest
French writer since Voltaire. Like
yoltaire, he made brilliant ven
lures in several departments oil
literature. and has left a large
body of work of high grade
Yoltaire passed long life OF liter
airy labor, and died at about the
same age as Victor Hugo. Noltalre
was the typical man of the skeptl-
cal and philosophical age, aud had
unbounded influence over the
thought of his era: Victor Hugo
was the leader of the Romantic
school. aud his influence was i'm
perlal not in literature alone, but
in art especially the drama.
Ho preserved his intellectual
activity until late period of life,
and only his latest works showed
conclusive loss of power. lie
reached his zenith in "Les Miser-
ables -; and, though his later works
contain splendid passages none OF
them have sustained power. in his
dramatic works he aimed at I'M
pressive situations and magnif-
cent dialogue rather than at de-
lineation of character. lie cared
nothing for consistency.
There was, however, one point
of weakness in Victor Hugo which
the keen vision of Heinrich Helne
detected fifty years ago; he was
devoid of the sense Of humor. Its
absence was felt more strongly ana
painfully as he grew older. lie
had not that sense Of humOr which
showed him when he was absurd
and oyerstrained. He passed the
boundary of the sublime into the
ridiculous without being aware OF
it. Very often he is truly sublime
but almost as often in his later
works he makes the reader laugh
when he imagines that he is NOV
ing him to tears. This lack OF the
sense of the ridiculous affected his
conduct as well as his literary
work. His vanity and sense OF his
own importance manifested them
selves in many amusing ways, ana
a world of funny anecdotes are
told of the foibles of this great
man.
For great he certainly was. lie
had a grand humanity and sympa'
thy, a deep.loving nature, an I'M
compromising hatred of tyranny
and oppression, and with his pen
he fought always on the side OF
liberty aud Justice. lie was a man
of the rarcst genius-orlglnal, fer
tile, audacious, splendid. lie led
great literary revolution III
France, and his name will always
shine among the brightest stars OF
lyric and dramatic poetry and ro-
nance.
lie will be buried Sunday.
