sunday Opening OF the Panorama


The managers of the battle panorama Of
"MaDassas, or the Second Bull Rum" in
Difference to the wishes of many good citi-
zens, and In view Of the fact that many
people cannot find time to visit this great
historic work of art on any other day, have
concluded to keep the exhibition open on
Sunday from o'clock to IL o'clock, p. m,
hours that will not interfere with those Of
church-going, as the panorama itself does
not violate any ones religious sensibilitles.
Several hundred ladies, gentlemen and
children were present last Sunday and en-
ioyed this impressive and instructive spec
tacle, feeling better for the recreation.
Some Of the hardest battles Of the war were
fought on Sunday; there can certainly be
no wrong in pondering upon the lessons
they teach on the same day. 1t were better
for the people If all our museums, libraries
and galleries were also open at certain
hours on Sunday, that by many are too
often idly or unprofltably spent.
