FROM the various scenes of recent
misfortune there comes the happy
news that the people are not given
over to despair, but are earnest and
energetic In their effort to begin again
the work Of life and rebuild their
homes upon the ashes and debris Of
their late calamity. The wreckage Of
JOhnstown is fast disappearing before
the sturdy corps of workmen, and
some few places of business are al
ready opened up. In the course Of a
few more days the ring Of hammers
and the rasp Of saws, will be the chief
music Of the valley. The greatest
hardship that confrOnts the survivors

HARPERs.

William Dean Howells will continue in
Harbet'S Magd=iHe for July the discussion
Of the dramatic outlook in America begun
by Brander Matthews in the number for
June. He says: eve believe that the Amer.
lean drama, like the American novel, will
be more and more a series of sketches, of
anecdotes, suggestions, with less aud less
allegiance to any hard and fast intrigue "
He reiterates his view as follows: again
we wish to put forward our heresy that
for play plot of close texture is no more
necessary than for a novel; that for either,
in dealing with modern life, it would be an
anachronism." Praising the work of Messrs
Thompson, Harrigan, Burgess, and Hoyt,
he says: I'VE do not at all pretend that
they have produced great drama. But we
do pretend that in such prolongations of
sketches as they have made the right be-
ginning of an American drama is made A"
we believe. moreover, that a national
drama can arise with us only as it has arisen
with other people that is out of some such
wilding native growths as these authors
are cultivating." He agrees with Mr.. A. NJ
Palmer upon the absence of a public taste
in regard to the drama, and reviviug the
managers reminder that this taste exists
only in countries where dramatic art has
for centuries been fostered by the people,
aud oftentimes protected and patronized by
intelligent governments" he says: per
haps we may yet, when the people really
come to their own, have a municipal theatre
in every city and town. sustained by a tax,
where the best dramas may be seen for
tenth OF the price one now pays to see the
worst -

Circular No.2.-The fact that the National
Guard Of Delaware did not have one general
practice during the whole of last season is
deplorable. Such must not be the case
again. Company commanders are in
great measure responsible for such an &C.
currence. It is hoped that they will use
every endeavor to get out the entire strength
Of their several commands at last twice this
season. The book of instruction issued to
the National Guard last season will be very
valuable to every member, aud should be
in the hands of very many; the same can
be had upon application to the inspector of
rifle practice. Company commanders should
as far as possible acquaint the inspector Of
rife practice on what day they propose to
practice for qualification. as it is his intention
as far as possible to give it his personal atten-
ton. Should he fail to be present a correct
record must be kept by one Of the commits
stoned officers of said company and the
original score card sent to this Office not later
than two weeks after such general practice
shall have taken place.

.THEIR RECORDSBROKEN
Close Of the Sixty-HOur Walking
Match.
THE WINNER MAKES 1883 MILES,
Some Of the Incidents of the Last Night on
the Track.
THE SCORES OF THE CONTESTANTS.

The female pedestrian contest, which
has been in progress at the Capital rink
for the past five days, came to an end at
half-past eleven o'clock last night.
BERTHE Lawrence, the girl who has been
in the lead right along, was an easy win
ner, coming in with record of 189 miles
and laps.
There was only fair attendance during
the afternoon, but the crowd soon filed
up after dark, and all during the evening
there was an average of about three hun
dred and fifty people upon the floor. These
were mostly young men about town, bat
there was very noticeable sprinkling of
older heads, and here and there one could
see the gray hairs Of gentleman well ad-
vauced in years, but in whose makeup the
sporting proclivity was still strong. The
girls started off at noon wsth the fol-
lowing records to their credit: Law
renee, 154 miles, 8 laps; Reynolds, 1O8
miles, 2 laps; Sterling, n miles, Is laps;
Howard, 1873 miles, lap; Evans, 121 miles,
laps; Cleo, 95 miles, lap; Znletta, lis
miles, l lap, Davitt, 113 miles, 6 laps
There was no noticeable event during the
day, but during the evening there was
more or less fun, but of mild type. The
most pronounced incident of the evening,
was the bad outbreak of underwriting by
the young men in the audience. The eff
fort TO mash" the girls, and secure sp-
pointments with them, was long-contin-
ued, but the susceptible youths did not
seem to get much encouragement. About
two dozen notes, signed with the names Of
well-known young men, are in the posses
sion OF the writer, and they form an inter
esting collection. Several of the writers
wanted the girls they addressed to go bug
gy riding to-day, others wanted to meet
them this evening, and so on. Every round
the girls would make, along about ten or
eleven o'clock, they would be handed one
or more notes, and often these would be
thrown away, after being read, and fall
ing into the hands of the crowd about the
ring, would create wild shouts OF laughter
and applause. Others of the youths,
who probably had run out of note paper,
crowded around the young lady score
keeper, and while there, were guyed most
numerically by the crowd in the vicinity,
About eleven o'clock May Howard, No.
4, created a sensation by making lap
around the rink with a oolored baby in
her arms. the child having been borrowed
for the occasion from one of the attend
ants The score at eleven was:

This girls were loudly cheered as the con-
clusion was announced, and then a large
proportion of the audience crowded about
the score-boards and such of the walkers
as fingered in that vicinity, while two or
three gentlemen in high shirt collars start
ed around the ring at a break-neck speed,
to see how it went. In few moments,
however, the audience had dispersed, and
the rink was deserted.
Manager Hspgood announced, at the
conclusion of the contest, that the distance
made by the winner, BERTHE Lawrence, was
the greatest that had ever been scored
under his management, saying the best
previous score was 176 miles. He said
he was well-pleased with his experience In
Wheeling. The coming week the girls will
be taken to the country for rest, and the
following week they will open q sixty
hours contest at Cleveland. 1t was stated
at the rink last evening that Blanche
Sterling was sick, but the knowing ones
laughed st this, and said her father had
come down from Pittsburg, yesterday
morning, and taken her home. 1t was also
announced, last night, that well-known
Wheeling girl was going to leave town
with the combination.

About four hundred people assembled
at the Martins Ferry rink last evening to
witness the three mile roller skating race,
mile heats, between Bick Sheppard of this
city and Haley Woods of Martins Ferry,
and they witnessed about the best race
ever skated in that rink. Sheppard took
the start in both heats and kept the lead
for three-qusrters of a mile when Woods
passed him. The men were so close during
both heats that the hind man could lay his
hand on the others shoulder. Sheppard g
Judge claimed foul for him in the first
neat. but it was not allowed. Sheppard
was not in good condition to skate as he
had lust returned from East Liverpool,
where he had skated in thirty-hour race
and was very sore in consequence.

1t had been announced that the contest
would be concluded at half-psst eleven,
and as that hour approached the girls be-
gan to bend their energies toward getting
in as many laps as possible. Once or
twice they would break into run, when
the crowd would applaud vociferOusl y,
but such spurts did not last long. No l
in particular kept up a steady gait, cover
ing a good deal of ground in short time,
towards the last, and one or two others
were equally ambitious.
At halfpast eleven o'clock Manager

the scorers sat, and announced that the

Solemn Symbolic Services at 81. Joseph's

There was a very large audience at St
Josephs Cathedral yesterday morning to
witness and take part in the very interest
ny and important services which brought
the Lenten season TO a close.
The day was cOmmemorated as the day
If Cnrist's lying in the sepu.chre.
The services. as was announced IN the
REGIsTER Of yesterday morning, began at
2 o'clock and continued about three hours.
The blessing of the new mr." the
blessing of the Psschal candles" the
reading Of the Prophecies and the blessing
of the baptismA font were the salient
points of the service, which was through
ont Of the most mp essive character.
In the earlier ages OF the Church the
entue day up to midnight was
given over to a vigil Of SORROW. No mass
was said during the day hours Of Holy
Saturday. The divine Office began at the
ninth hour-tbst is. at o'clock In the
afternoon. The faithful kept vigil or wake
in the church, and the mass celebrated at
midnight belonged rather to the morning
of Easter Sunday than to Holy Saturday.
This stats of things lasted till late IN the
Middle Ages. hugo, of st. Victor, who
died A. d 1140, mentions the custom tnen
creeping in of anticipating the vigil once
but the old mode of observance existed IN
some churches as late as The htteenth
century. But, though the time is changed
the words of the Office remain as they were

Of Mile Rhea who appears at the Opera

Of Mile Rhea who appears at the Opera
House Wednesday evening next as Beatrice
in Shakespeare's Much Ado About
Nothing" for the first time in the city
the London Era says: In the scenes of
raillery with Beaedick, Beatrice played
with manner that was positively fasci-
mating, and that, backed up by bright
eyes and pretty looks and musical voice,
exercised an irresistible influence over her
listeners and spectators. my Lady
Tongue" as Benedick calls her, had the
majority of her audience metaphorically at
her feet. and, later on, where more Sc
rious mood was required, as, for instance,
in the scene when Beatrice cries ''Kill
CLAUDIO" Mile Rhea proved incontestibly
that she has other resources at her COM
mand, for there was genuine dramatic
fire, which warmed the hearts of the
audience and called forth ringing and
well deserved round OF cheering.
