MUSIC AND DRAMA.
fRANUE POINTE.

The second entertainment in the Stock
bridge course consisted of Mr.. George W.
Cables recital OF his unpublished story of
Grande Pointe. City Hall was of course
crowded and when Mr.. Cable assembled the
platform, he was greeted with applause.
Rev. DR.. Warren, of the Christian Mirror,
introduced Mr.. Cable in a few remarks in
which he spoke of the Acadian people who
form the characters in a measure, in Mr..
Cables story.
Mr.. Cable renewed his success of last
season. The recital of his story of Grande
Pointe-which is as quaint, tender and dra-
matte in prose as Evangeline is in verse is
not only novel, it is delightful. Grande
Pointe is the name of the Acadian village In
Louisiana where schoolmaster has c3me to
instruct the children in English as we'll as to
teach them the various school studies, and
Mr.. Cables story deals chiefly with the
schoolmaster's life among his pupils and
possesses delicate romance in the affec-
ton of Bonaventnre, the master, and Claude,
a young pupil, for another pupil, Sidonie.
Mr.. Cable uniteS remarkably the qualifca-
tions of an author of singular gifts and
reciter of great dramatic power. His voice
Is possessed of some of the rarest tones-at
to every eye, at others the nearer breaks into
laughter. he character Of Bonaventure Is
admirably suited to him. The schoolmaster
is study in himself, with his dignity, his
earnest pride in his vocation, mis- quaint mis-
takes in words, and especially in his simple
honesty and goodness. It's impossible to
describe the perfection with which Mr..
Gable reproduceS him. He stands before the
nearer as wildly as he could in person. No
more striking picture could be presented
children rang the school bell" and the ex-
animation, with Sidonie's supposed mistake
That latter scene was as finished as any
painting by Meissonier could be. Nothing
could have been more dramatic than his
representation of the schoolmaster rushing
through the woods calling to Claude. All
through the recital there were scattered
prose poems, as in the descriptions OF scenery
and of the birds in the thicket. For two
hours he held his hearers captive. and when
the examination was over and the school
master and Sidonie walked off together, the
audience gave expression to their satisfaction
in hearty applause.
STANDARD CONCERT COMPANY.
Tonight the Standard Concert Company
will open the Y. MICA. course at City Hall.
A few good seats still remain unsold at

shows that artistic merit noticeable in all
her efforts" Other exchanges say that Mrs.
Mary FL. How has full sympathetic con-
tralto, and is a pupil of an excellent school;
Mr. Ricketson possesses tenor of power
and sweetness, and Mr.. Kronberg is a pow
erful baritone; Miss Chandler is a violinist
of merit, and Mr.. King is charming plan

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The House virtually settled the silver ques-
ton for the present Congress. After days and
nights of debate vote was taken on the bill
of Mr.. Bland (Mo.) providing for free and un-
restricted coinage of silver. The bill was re-
jected by ayes, 1876; noes, 1863; not voting "a
BY vote of ayes 81, noes POI the House re-
jected the proposition Of Mr.. James IN " TO
suspend coinage for a given period and enter
upon negotiations with foreign nations for
general reconciliation of silver, and an agree
ment upon a standard of coinage. This leaves
the question precisely as it was. the United
States will continue to coin silver at the rate
of 81, 100000 a month, as for some years past.
1t is considered likely that the matter will be
permitted to rest quietly for the present.
THE ARMY BILL.
After protracted debate the Senate rejected,
by vote of 10 ayes and 81 noes, Gen. Logans
bill to increase the United States Army to 80
900 men, and to promote its efficiency. Mr.
Logan labOred zealously for the bill, but all the
Democrats-except Payne, of Ohio-and
number of Republicans opposed it.

QUITE a sensational romance has

out Mountain. The day after their
arrival, Mr.. Dodge came to the city
from Florida and registered at the ho-
tel where they were stopping. He
seemed entirely enraptured and literal
ly logged the lady's footsteps, hang
ing on every word. She seemed an
noyed, but her rebuffs only served to
intensity his ardor, and his attentions
finally became SO vexatious that the
ladies quietly left the city. Dodge fol-
lowed on the next train. He met Miss
Voorhees, for the first time at Washing
ton last winter. The acquaintance was
renewed in Florida. and it was then he
began his assiduous attentions. He
seems hopelessly enraptured.

the building puts on the character of a
little garrison; that in its corridors
md passages are arms (not displayed
to the public in daytime), and that
armed watchmen patrol the building,
both inside and out, during the entire
night. BY the grant of the Calling
guns these projections are greatly en-.

these mortal conveniences, he thinks
that they are good things to have
about the property under his care.
