Back from the Northwest.

JUDGE GRATTAN's TWO WEEKS EXPERT
ENCE THERE.
Judge Charles Grattan, State Commits
sioner of immigration, returned home Sun
day morning after a tWo-Weel1s' tour in
the Northwest. To representative of the
VINDICATOR who called on him to get
some account of his work, he said that from
his experience OH this trip he had come to
the conclusion that East of the Mississippi
was the field for Virginias etfort-W1s-
consin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio.
During his absence, Judge Grattan deliv-
cred public lectures on Virginia, her
resources, advantages and so forth, at
Grant School-house, near Bingham, Iowa,
where about IS people assembled; at shen-
andoah, town Of about 5000 people, in the
town-hall, where he had an audience of
about 40, and at Austin, Minnesota, in the
hall of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
where there was a very small audience-the
thermometer being at 200 below zero.
He speaks in the highest terms of the hos
pitality and the kindness of the people he
met. AT Bingham, Iowa, MI. J. x.
Baynes met him at the depot, took him to
his comfortable home, and showed him
every attention and hospitality, in which
he was kindly seconded by his wife.
lie says the country around Bingham is
very much like that about Swoope's in this
county, only it is that way for miles and
miles. The land sells at from $35 to $40 an
acre, and man is spoken of, not as owning
so many acres, but so many 40's. From
the scarcity of timber, the character Of
shelter for both man and beast is not as
good as in our own better timbered country.
Judge Grattan says nothing will strike a
Southern man more favorably than the
courtesy, kindness, and hospitality shown
him by the people he meets in that region,
and by the editors of the press. He says
he is doubly anxious to get some of them to
Virginia, to show them that the people of
this Commonwealth can keep up with them
in that respect, OF at least, to show that
we want to try our hand at it.

THE marriage notice of Mr.. JAS E. A.
Gibbs published in last week S paper was an
error, no such marriage having taken place.
1t was copied from the marriage column
of a contemporary who was imposed on by
correspondent. 1t is one Of those things
which is deeply to be regretted, but hard
to be guarded against by the most careful
newspaper. Whatever of blame there is,
is to be laid at the door of the person who
will perpetrate a joke, the gravest conse-
quence of which is to bring lady's name
before the public. MI. Gibbs very properly
feels that as to himself he can easily overlook
it, but as far as the lady is concerned it is
objectionable.

The Opera Monday Night

The Emma Juch Operatic Concert Com
pany will appear at the Opera House next
Monday night. The company embraces the
following: Miss Emma Juch, prima don
na soprano, who holds first place in the es-
timation Of QUIZ public, and her friends are
all those who admire true musical art COM
bined with youth, beauty and artistic ell
thusiasm; Miss Adele Aus-der- ohe, the eel
ebrated pianist, and protege of List and
Won Bulow; Miss Rosa Linde, a very fine
contralto; Mr.. William LAWN, a young
American tenor who recently came to this
country after studying with Shakespeare,
of London; MI. Joseph Lynde, an English
baritone, of large experience and magniti-
cent voice, whose success with Carl Rosa
and in italian opera has wrought him fame
and first position; and finally MI. Victor
Herbert, solo cello player, the soloist of that
instrument in the Thomas orchestra and
assistant conductor Of the Anton Leidel
concerts, Mr.. Herbert is also the musical
director Of the Juch company.
In addition to most interesting pro-
gramme of classic, ballard and miscellane-
Gus selections in which Miss Juch and the
entire company assist, the second act Gar
den scene) of Gounod's immortal opera
"Faust'' vii be given in it's entirety with
appropriate costumes. scenery and effect.
In this Miss Juch will appear in her beau
tiful impersonation of Marguerite" in
which role she has obtained an internation-
al reputation, first with Her Majesty s ope-
Ia in London and afterwards with the Ma
tional opera under Theodore Thomas in
America.
1t may be well to say, lest some should
miss something they would regret, that
Miss Adele Aus-der-ohe has no rival as a
pianist in this country. A competent
critic, writing of her performance at Lynch
burg, says:
1t was not until she played her oaon Masters
Music, the ''Grande Polonaise' in E Major,
that the spirit of the composer breathed forth
in all its noble impetuosity its fantastic weird
cadence. For ten minutes she did powerful,
artistic work; perhaps the best that can be
done in the List school That the Fraulein
is a Lisztile truly, is apparent to any musician
who has known LISTS playing.
