THE STOCkBRlDGE COURSE.
There was the usual large attendance at the
Stockbridge entertainment last evening. Mr.. Le-
land T. Powers has good voice and passes cas-
lily from one characterization to another His
speciality of David Garrick, in three acts, intro
ducing number of funny people in play of
which Garrick is represented as the hero, was ex-
ceedingly well done and drew forth hearty APP
plause The singing by the Lotus Club was of a
high degree of excellence and the club received
their share of the applause. The operetta Of
Cox and Box, with which the entertainment
concluded, was the unsuccessful feature OF the
programme and did not please the audience.
The next entertainment in the course will be
given next Wednesday evening. Miss Jessie
Couthoui, the Rugges Street Church quartette,
and Alfred DeSeve, will appear on this occasion.
The following day, Thanksgiving, afternoon and
evening, the two extra entertainments will be

no,. polly Madison Got Her Husband.

Dolly Madison, the brilliant and beau
tiful wife of the fourth president,
rather imposed upon Mr.. Madison dur
ing their courtship, and the blind god
of love made him believe her to be much
more intellectual than she really was.
He was in doubt, however, and deter
mined t. test her. To do so he sent her
n emi-philosophical book to read just
as he was about to leave for Virginia,
and asked her to send him a written
opinion of its merits after she had read
it. Madison, by the way, wa at this
time a member of congress at Phila-
delphia, and he was boarding at the
home Of his sweetheart, who was then a
buxom young widow, with her husband
hardly cold in his grave.
As soon rs Ia had left for Virginia,
the sly Polly took the book to Col.
Aaron Burr. She told him of her pre-
dicament, and got him to write the let
ter for her. of course, it was a master
piece, as Burr was one Of the most cult
ured and scholarly men of his age. She
then mailed the letter to Madison Mt
Montpelier. lie was delighted with the
wonderful intelligence it exhibited, and
he proposed instantly upon his return
TO Philadelphia. She made an able wife
and entertained as well, if not better,
than any other presidents wife since
that time. The fashionable world went
wild over her beautiful dresses, and her
turhaus alone cost over 81 900 a year.

THE NORTH AND sourH.

The visit OF Senator Sherman and other
Northern speakers to Virginia will have
a good effect on both sections of the Amer
lean union; it has been met by the APP
proval of all fair-minded men North and
South.
Since the war too much has been taken
for granted by politicians and the press of
both sections as to the sentiment of the
people A partisan press in the North
has distorted the uttcrances of Southern
men so as TO make it appear hat a spirit
of hostility existed where none was, In
the South the same fault has occurred,
not TO so great a degree, but far more
than ought to be the case. Grimes in the
South have been twisted SO as to seem the
result of political rather than of social dis
orders, such as they really were, and
political crimes have been exaggerated in
magnitude for partisan effect.
Better knowledge of each other will re-
move the existing ignorance. The Ohio
senator and his political friends will profit
from his trip. lie has seen smiling faces
and peaceful industries. He has found
that the confederate flag is looked upon as
a historical sentiment, and that all Vir-
ginia is not overridden with rebels in uni
form singing "rhe Bonnie Blue Flag
and shouting Down with the union
1.-THE few fiery S%outherners who denounce
the north as a nation of south haters
could all come north, they would find that
the people of the north don't care much
about politics except to insist on good
government and political liberty. If the
imprisoned waivers of the bloody shirt
were to go south, they would find in many
places a people as progressive and as
much in sympathy with American ideas
as those they left at home.
The best way to meet criticism is by
face to face argument, and not by bandying
epithets from 1 distance. If all the men
who discuss the sectional issue were to do
30 on the spot, the speeches of both sides
would be modified and a better spirit
would prevail. The south is solid and
will so remain as long ash is tainted with
being solid, as if that were criminal. Let
the invasion Of the south by northern poll
ticians become general and let people be
argued with face to face on their own
grounds, and much Of the feeling that
makes the south solid will be removed,
the bloody shir, will disappear and so will
the opposition to the north.

The druggists who are responsible for
so many good and bad things have
lately taken to selling what are called
silver" pills in New York, which are
very peculiar with victims of the
phine habit. The pills are very small
and are compounded of morphine and
quinine. They are much better than
cocktails or opium for bracing up a
more or less weakened system, and they
are particularly popular among women,
who take them slyly and secretly.
About the latest thing of all, however,
is the abuse of that admirable slayer of
pain, cocaine. 1t is now discovered, l
nm told by physicians, that cocoaine
may 10 taken instead of liquor, and that
it has the effect of curing all desire for
alcohol. This would be a good thing if
it We're not universally conceded that
the cocaine habit is ever worse than
the time honored plan of patronizing
the bar.

SOME ladies and gentlemen of Pitts
burg are organizing a society Tor the pro-
lection of married women, the chief OBJ
iect being the creation and maintenance
OF a fund for the prosecution of wife
bcaiers. Such an organization with a
large membership roll would do good, in
directly as well as directly. The collec-
ton of a trifing admission fee from each
member, and the designation Of ever a
smaller amount ms dues, would raise
money enough to pay for counsel in many
such cases, and the awakening of public
opinion on the subject that would follow
the announcement Of the movement,
would tend to encourage the courts to
make the sentences OF convicted wife
heaters as severe as the law allows. 1t
might even result in the passage of a law
making the penalty severer.
