The AIaxandria Oufrape.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, I was at
that meeting in Alexandria, and saw the dis.
graceful actions of a certain class of young men,
all OF them voters and intelligent supporters OF
Lee. They intended at tho comm enoement
OF the meeting to break 1t up. They don't want
free speech. They want to rule or ruin, and
are afraid TO discuss the questions of the day
for fear the common people will be drawn from
the offices. l make bold to assert that the par
ties who interrupted Mr.. Wise were the sons of
the best people" OF this city, who were taught
better manners but never learned them. 1t
was disgrace to this city and Its officials aud
will tend to keep her back for years to come.
IL is notice to capital and honest people to
steer clear OF such place where free speech Is
not tolerated. FAIR PLAY.

The Country Girl at Hsrnnr,s.


She arrived by an afternoon train, from
Virginia, and called on her cousin.
Now her cousin is one Of the great men OF
the metropolis, being connected with daily
newspaper.
Toher cousin said she immedlately "Tako
me to the theater."
And her cousin Immediately replied ~

The play was "Quecna." From her en-
trance, the country lass was In dreamland.
A most amazing cdiilcc was the structure
Itself, q palace altogether unimaginable. She
viewed II with wonder from ceiling TO floor,
and throughout It's boundaries. The strains
Of the orchestra charmed her, but when n
sudden increase, flash, OF light announced
the curtain about to rise, her vision was all
alert, and each OF her pretty ears wide ex-
ponded. She bent forward eagerly; every
word pronounced on the stage was treas
ure, Of which her very soul was covetous.
As the passion Of the drama progressed,
she became completely woven into IL, lost
In II there was no more .heater, no more
an audience; reality Of romance appeared
and spoke before her.
The better educated cousin OF city life
surveyed the rural damsel with amusement,
and yet with cnvyof her exquisite pleasure.
Nor was he alone In this, for sundry persons
in the vicinity had become equally inter.
ested in the appreciation Of the woodland
sylph, and several white boards would have
given much for similar happiness.
At last the mimic scene became so excit
ing that the fair Phillis exclaimed 'Oh "
quite loud, but unaware that any one heard
her Yet every one, Of course,did, aud the
general enjoyment was immensely promoted
thereby, and the actors felt that never be
fore had they received so delightful com
pliment.
When, finally, the curtain descended, and
all was over for the evening, all was moi
over for her; still she fingered In the roseatC
