SLEEPING UNDER THE SNOW.
By REV. W. l.. MARTIN.
Written in memory Of Eta Maud 1arbaugh
who departed this life in Sabillasvillc, Dec.
18th, 1885, aged II yrs, 2 mos IS days.
A bright little girl, now lying low,
Silent in death, under the snow;
Under the snow all yes cold and white
Home is lonely without her tonight.
So cheerful and bright she used be,
But now is sleeping quietly
In her lonely bed, under the snow,
Bright little girl, we loved her so.
The home is lonely, all miss her SO,
All through the day as onward we go;
In the dark night wht II the cold winds blow,
Whilst shc s sleeping under the snow.
She Is missed in the snd, lonely hours,
As others do sunshine and flowers
Day and night little Maud is missed 80,
Because she sleeps under the snow.
Little Maud ! no It's only, her clay.
Under the snow buried away;
Her spirit scared to the realms of light,
There with Jesus, to walk in white"
Alas ave all do fade as leaf"
Our life on earth is very brief;
Our loved ones no'e sleep under the snow
The'vc gone to reap what they did SOW.
These bodies must return to dust"
o let US all in Jesus trust
Then our spirits shall he safe above,
Where al is joy, and peace, and love.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE MEXICAN ORCHESTRA Rarely is q
Washington audience aroused to such q
high pitch of enthusiasm rs was the audi
ence that assembled at Ford's last evening
to hear the famous Mexican orchestra
A musical entertainment is generally half
over before the cold reserve with which
Washington assemblage surrounds itself
is penetrated. But last evening hardly
had the last, sweet note of the first selec-
ton died away when the entire gathering
broke into one impulsive storm of APP
plause. Such enthusiasm over musical
performance has not been seen since the
performances of the Milan Opera Com.
pany. 1t is safe TO predict that there will
be no vacant seats at Ford's during the
engagement The musicians were in
Mexican costume, and the stage was set
with beautiful tropical scene. The Or
chestra is made up Of six bandolons, two
Violins, two viOloncellos, three guitars,
two salterios, one harp and one flute.
The effect that is produced is delightful,
and the full power of the orchestra is
brought out by the skillful selection of
programme which is well adapted to the
instruments. Last evening the overtures
Raymond" and "Pique Dame" were so
exqusitcly played that encores were de-
mandedand graciouslygiven. Schuberts
scrcnade could not have been rendered
with more feeling. In fact, feeling and
expression il the characteristic of the or
ohestra's playing. The bandolon solo by
Senior Harinana, the Xylophone solo by
Senior Carlos Curt, were also encored rs
well as the violin solo by Senior Figuero,
which was the feature of the evening.
The Mexican orchestra will continue
their concerts until Wednesday night,
with a change of programme and solo
lists at each concert.
The orchestra will render the following
programme this evening; Overture,
"Wm. Tell" Rossiui; waltz, Gel Turia, 4"
GrG0ddd; polka, american Ladies"
Curti guitar solo, ST.. A. Cuyas; salterio
| solo, ST. Il. Garcia; harp solo, Sr. Juan
| Curt; overture, "Martha,o Fioto,c: galop,
"Trip TO New Orleans" Vega; Mexican
| Dances" Navarro.
"IoLANTHE' At ALBAUGH's. lolanthe"
was carefully rehearsed by the Becbe
| Company at Albaugh's last week and q
| wonderful degree of efficiency was at
| tanned. The company takes great interest
| in the opera and the choruses are sung
with will. A very good performance
may be expected tonight. Mr.. S. w.
| Keen, who will sing the role of Stuphoa,
| is Washington man and made a good
| record in Patience as the Colonel, when
| it was produced here. Mr.. Imano finished
| his engagement with the company on
| Saturday night, and the "Sentnels Song
| will be rendered by Mr. Sanford, who
| has q very rich and deep voice. Mr..
| Fort, the manager, has given special at
| tention to the scenic effects and costum-
| ing, and the opera will be handsomely
mounted. Mr.. De Lange is working on a
new topical song.
