Another southern poet has won from
the great magazines the place and honor
due her. 1t has only been within the
lesttew years that Julie K. Wetherill has
published either prose or poetry, yet her
talent was quickly recognized, and step

name is numbered among the contribu-
TORS OF the Atlantic, the most critical Of

Of a noble Memphis lady we have the
following: The celebration of the com
pletion Of the Clara Conway Institute,
held last night, was an important event
in the social life and educational history
of Memphis, and not of Memphis only,
but of the progressive times in which we
live. 1t marks new order of things in
the south, the adoption Of more thorough
and practical methods than was hitherto
obtained. The occasion brought togeth-
er the trustees and many Of the patrons
and friends of the school, as we'll as 9TH
ers who take an abidiag interest IN the
cause of higher education. The main
hall was filled with representative people
of Memphis. Addresses of a songratu-
latory character were made by Judge T.
J. Latham, the vice-presidet; Judge
Hammond, Major T. B. Edgington,
Colonel L. w. Finlay, Rev. Harvey
Mathes, Judge ]. 0. Pierce, Captain
W. A. Collier, Colonel J. M. Heating,
Of the Appeal, Judge Henry Craft, and
Miss JENNA M. Higbee. Some of these
were very felicitous. In conclusion, Miss
Conway delivered a word of thanks in
her own clear, impressive way. 1t was
an address full Of the purposes and ideas
of an earnest, broad-minded woman who
has worked her way up to success, and
looks out upon grand field of useful
ness, May she be spared many years to
continue her useful work, was the wish
that rose in every heart last night. AT
the conclusion of her remarks the audi
ence went away, feeling that an evening
had been we'll spent, and that Memphis
IS on the highway to eminence as an ed
ucational centre.

Of lecture called IAN Evening with
Charles Dickens, " which she gave at
the Union Square Theatre in New York,
under manager Hills auspices last Sun
day night, with such success, he has in
vlted her to repeat it on next Sunday.
The "Musical Monologue" is spark
ling series of satire on London life, in
Producing comic songs, a burlesque of
dinner party conversation, a new read
ing of "McBeth," with pAntomime, a
burIesque Of Italiln opera and various
other funny things given in an irresistible
manner. A "spanish Muleteer Song"
lis introduced, and as this and the other
songs are given by very beautiful sing
er, who has received the finest musical
training under European masters, and
who should have been-to my mind, at
least-on the lyric stage, it can readily
be imagined how enchanting the music
al portion is. The words are merely
comedy, but the exquisite quality of
voice is there that haunts one for days
afterwards,
In the Evening with Dickens" Miss
Field gives a critical literary lecture
wonderfully sympathetic in its interpre-
tation Of Dickens, whom she met, as
young girl, when he was here giving his
readings, and there is probably no per-
son who is so we'll calculated to present a
perfect picture of him as Miss Field.
Being both strongly intellectual and
deeply artistic, she has the manifested
gifts to comprehend him in his many
sided character. This is not ordinarily
done. People read his stories and fail
to realize that the great novelist was po-
ct, seer, philanthropist, Christian, as
well. If you doubt that last character
cation, | should beg to refer vol, my
dear reader, to clergymsn at Provi-
dence, R, l., last Sunday, who took his
text "trom St. Paul and Charles Dick.
ems" as saw in the published account
OF mis- sermon. In the Evening" Miss
Field gives a dramatic relation of the
"Hymn of the Wiltshire Laborers,
with great simplicity and pathos, and
she also introduced song of Charles
Dickens. Costumed in white silk, re-
l!eved with touches ofscarlet velvet, with
lridescent lace sleeves and corsage bo-
quet OF jacqueminot roses, she made
very lovely picture before the foot
lights.

THE WESTERN STRIKE,

Mr.. Jay Gould, 1t seems, had not up
TO noon to-day receded from the posi-
tion he at first assumed in regard
to the proposition of Mr. Pow
derly, but will probably agree on
further consultation this afternoon
to submit to arbitration any differences,
past or future, between the Missouri
Pacific and its employees, He sent a
telegram this morning to Vice. Presi-
dent Hoxie, directing the resumption
of the work of running trains. He sayr
that preference will be given to the
roads late employees, whether they are
or are not Knights of Labor, except
that no person shall be employed who
injured the company's property during
the strike; nor shall any person be dis
charged who took service with the
company during the strike. Work was
accordingly resumed to-day.
1t cannot be said that the strikers
have gained great deal by their course.
But the fact that it is the concession
of the principle of arbitration upon
which the resumption Of work hinges.

The Herdld this morning says that was "a
damaging speech of Senator Harrson's

THE OLD DAYS.

o those old days those ne lr yot far.off days !
PACED with dear legends, winsome with sweet
ways
When spendthrift hearts went agypsying;
Cared naught for form or statute laws or
king
But lived in melodies
o those old days; those loving, trustful days!
When Youth wed Hope in joyful loye'sung
lays
Ger Thy glad hours and scenes, with soul
swept strings
The psalm of life idylIc back ward brings
All blessed memories
o those old days those truest, purest days
So sweet, so sad so full of tender grace
Whose life but fingers on their boundaries,
Coming them DER with misty, yearnlng
eyes
And for the Future prays

nearly twice as many as has Baltimore, and
the cost here for each gas lamp per annum

THE Importance of keeping up the
work of Improvement on the Potomac
Flats is so plainly apparent that no
hitch must be permitted to occur by
which the annual appropriation for its
continuance shall not be Forthcoming.
Such works, when suspended, as has
frequently been the case on the Missis
sippi, always detcriorate and waste
away at very expensive rate. The
fact that there is some contention about
the title to that portion OF the re-
claimed flats which is claimed to have
been patented to Mr.. Kidwcll should
not be permitted to involve the Gov
crnmcnt In what would necessarily
prove serious and heavy loss. There
seems TO be no good reason why the
proposition of the representatives of
the Kidwell estate should not be ac-
cepted. They offer to turn the property
