KELLOGG IN OPERATIC OPERA.

We have received circular from
Major j. B. Pond, announcing the
fact that Miss Clara Louise Kellogg,
the eminent and popular prima donna,
will include Austin in series of con-
certs through the south this season.
accompanied by artists of European
fame, including Miss Pauline Monte
CRITIC, Mr.. David Ross, the American
tenor; Mr.. Francis Ii. Noyes Baratone,
Miss Ollie Torbett, the violinist; Chas.
E. Pratt, the piano accompanist of
Nilsson, Patti and Thursby, and lastly,
one of the greatest pianists of the
world, Madame Julie Riseking.
This is as fine combination as mu-
steal Judgment and unlimited ex-
penditure could obtain for opera con-
cert.
The lovers Of the very sweetest and
highest kind Of operatic music have
a grand treat before them, that
they will be rejoiced to avail Of.
It may be truthfully stated that a
company OF SO great and variety Of
talent has never before vIsiFc7 Aus
tin, and we hope our people W.. eT-
hibit their musical taste in hearing
the concert. Our only apprehension
is that our opera house is too small to
give seats to as many as will desire
admission. Kellogg herself will be
highly enjoyed as q cantatrice of de-
lightful voice, Of most excellent tim
bre and fullness Of note. We have
listened to her with delight for hours,
evening after evening, and are still
more anxious to hear her again than
we were at first. Austin is highly
favored by a concert of such merit.

IN MEMORIAM.

The memorial meeting in the hall of
the house of representatives, Sunday
afternoon, was very well attended.
The large hall was filed with more
people than it could conveniently seat,
composed Of ladies and gentlemen of
this city, who manifested deep sympa-
thy with its objects and paid marked
attention to the speeches.
If the people of Austin had assem-
bled to do honor to some southern
chieftan, who led their armies during
the civil war, they could not have
manifested more attention and inter-
est.
1t is a matter of great congratula..
ton that such a meeting could be held
in any southern city, and was an evi>
dence, as remarked by some of the
speakers, of a return and revival of
that national patriotism that was dis
turbed by the feeling during and soon
after the war.
1t was singular rebuke to sue
men as Sherman, who are still de-
nouncing US as committing frauds on
the ballot box .worse than anything
committed by penitentiary convicts;"
that confederate soldiers organized
and supported such meeting, at
tended by their wives and daughters,
to do honor to the memory of man
who led the invading army against Us,
but withali a good and great man, who
upheld and enforced, at least in his
army, the highest rules of civilized
warfare. 1t was an evidence that our
hostile feelings had departed and that
we could unite with brave men3in the
north in weaving a garland for the
tomb of union soldier.
w can afford to honor
the McClellans, and men like
him, and we can afford to despise the
Shermans, and men like him, and hear
their denuneiations with equanimity
and conscious rectitude.
Gen. Il. l.. Walker, who commanded
the third artillery army corps in the
army of Northern Virginia, presided,
and number of other ex-contederates
actively participated in the exercises.
A full report will be found in our
local columns written by Mr.. Lam
the secretary of the meeting, and
b is also a mem0er of the STATES
N staff, that will repay perusal.

will be engrossed and sent to

ing Of the 18th of March; L lived
about 300 yards from Smiths store,
and about one mile from where
Dr.. StoYall was shot; my husband

Jane Pearson's; my boys came home
bout supper time, said they had
a snack at their uncle Toms, but they
took supper at home.
| At this point the court adjourned

iure Dr.. StovaIl's dying declaration by

and that it was a dark night when he
was shot.

Der the beautiful mantel which Was
gotten up by our ladies and sent to
the Worlds fair at New Orleans. The
mantel was designed mainly by Sister
.Florentine, of st. Mary's convent, in
this city, and the work of cutting and
polishing the stone was done by the
firm of Underhill & Co. Various ma
tive birds, plants and flowers of Texas
were painted on the mantel by the
ladies of this city, among them Mrs.
Fred Mitchell andMiss Julia Robertson.
A letter from Mrs. Kate Scurry Ter
rell, the commissioner of the women's
work from Texas, announces that the
paintings on this mantel received the
first award.
The ladies of Austin, and of Texas,
are to be congratulated upon their
success at the Worlds fair. 1t is said
that more awards were made to Texas
in the woman's department than to
any other state. This fact is a great
compliment TO the culture and refine
ment of Texas women.
