The Lght-HOuse i'm the sunday
school celebration.


The annual celebration of the Monu-
mental Episcopal Sunday school will take
places as usual-the Sunday after Easter
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
celebrations have always been attractive
on account of the unique character of
the exercises. Year before last the ship,
symbolizing the church in its cOnstruc-
ton, was built OF flowers last year the
floral temple WAS erected, and tomorrow
lighthouse will be the thing. 1t is
proposed to have it in sections, and as in
other instances brought up by the va
rious classes and the lighthouse when
completed will be seven feet high, and
fac 8iBiic of a light house just out from
st. Augustine, Fla The base will be
one section, the body of the house
twelve more, and the dome five other
parts. The light is to come from gas
star in front of a cross to be erected on
the dome. The house will have win
dows in it through which can be seen
the light inside, and candles will burn
around the base on the outside. When
the building is completed the children
will sing "Iet the Lower Lights be
Burning" At the beginning of the ser
vices the scholars will march into the
church singing, and after the services
are over there will be q recessional.
1t had been expected that DR.. Jack
son. of Grace church, would be present
and deliver an address to the children
but yesterday. finding he could not
come, he wrote a letter to the children
which will be read by Superintendent
Alfrend.
The church choir will be present to
aid in the singing. 1t IS expected that
the ceremonies will be very interesting.

POLITICAL TOPICS.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY ON THE 10TH INSTANT.
A Number OF Interesting Features Of the
Programme in Virginia for the
Year 1888.

Those OF our citizens who love poll
tics and almost all Virgihians do-bave
before them this year a very varied and
complete programme. First, we are to
have here the Democratic primary
election, which will take place on April
10Th, and which will probably draw
out the largest party vote ever known,
for not only are the regular municipal
oficers-such as Mayor, Sergeant, &C.
TO be nominated and afterwards elected,
but also the clerks of courts, who are
chosen once In elk years the Commis-
sioner of the Revenue, who is elected
only once in four years and the City
Treasurer, whose term is for three years.
II has been long time since it happen
ed that the entire list of officers WAS
elected in one year. In addition the
people have to elect more than half the
number of members of the Board OF
Aldermen and all the Common Council.
The present Mayor has been with
drawn from candidacy for reelection on
account of the state OF his health the
old City Collector recently died, and the
present Commonwealth Attorney has
been elected Judge OF the Hastings Court
and will 90 on the bench the 1st of next
January, giving an unusual number of
offices to be contested for by new men,
while the great majority of the old Off
cial corps have opposition. In fact IN
oil the history Of the city candidates were
never SO numerous, which guarantees a
large primary vote.
The candidates have shown extraordi-
nary activity during all this preparatory
canvass-which, by the way, was begun
unusually esrly-and every night they
address meetings at Democratic club
rooms.
On the night of Tuesday, May Sth,
the Democratic voters of Richmond will
assemble in ward meetings to elect their
delegates to the State Convention to be
held at Norfolk May 10Th. The city Is
entitled to thirty-nine delegates.
This State Convention will select our
party nominees for presidential electors,
and will also choose delegates to repre-
sent Virginia in the National Democratic
Convention to be held at st. Louis June
9th.
The State Republican Convention,
having like purposes in view, will assem-
bic at Petersburg May 18th, and it is ex-
pected that its proceedings will be en-
livened by discussion of those matters
which have recently been the subjects OF
letters from Meesrs. John 5. Wise, VIII
liam Malone, and William c. Elan.
The National Republican Convention
will be held at Chicago June 2Oth.
These conventions over, congressional
nominating conventions will be in order.
There are ten districts in Virginia, and
there will be a Democratic and Repub-
lican nominating convention in each,
and the year will close, so far as politics
are concerned, by the general election in
November at which President and Vice
President of the United States and Con
eressmen will be chosen. The Virginia
people, in addition to voting for these,
will vote " For" or AgdjnSt q con-

Miss Stearns has clear, distinct de-

Special mention should be made OF the
costumes, appointments, &c, with which
the tableauI were given. In all care
full regard for the dress and customs Of
the people who lived in the age of the
story was observed and exhibited. OF
the cast Mr.. Shelton, who made an ideal
Ben Hur, deserves particular notice, but
where all assumed their parts with so
much credit determinations and COM
PARSONS are difficult.
The entertainment was produced un-
der the auspices of the ladies of Grace
Street Presbyterian church and the pro-
ceeds will be given to charity.
The matinee this afternoon will be the
closing performance.
