Mr. Edward NJ. Aliriend, the author
OF The Louisianian." has written an
excellent drama, which was admirably
performed at tho Madison Square
Theatre yesterday. The performance
was rewarded with frequent tumultous
applause.
The first act was in New Orleans, back
in the times when the creoles assumed
airs OF social supremacy and the resi-
dents wore the costumes OF the first
Bonaparte empire. \ son OF q retired
French general and the daughter OF the
Louisiana governor loved each other,
but were kept unmarried by their in
harmonious fathers, and there was an
other ardent sutton. An adventures
arrived from Paris 10 declare herself the
discarded wife OF the hero. Then the
action was transferred to Paris, where
one act was devoted to q chance meet
ing OF the two men and the two women
involved in the love affair, where an
other nc. depicted a slow and solemn
duel with pistols in forest, alter the
dramatic manner OF the palmy days;
and q third act was all astir with the
mistrcss's desperate device to force her
false claim to wedlocls, ending with her
suicide upon the failure OF her plot.
Then came a last act in Louisiana,
where the unloved sutton OF the gov
errors daughter voluntarily relin-
pushed her to the loved one, and the
curtain shut in scene OF happiness,
except for the two who had loved in
vain.-Ner YORK SIN, June 5, 81.

ships that all the gold that was ever
mined could not hire men to endure, not
even in this age of boasted physical
hardihood
During the twenty-five years OF its ex-
istence the Grand Army of the Republic
has had remarkable career. 1t was
organized at Decatur, ILL.,, on April 3,
1866. The founder of the order was Dr.
Benjamin T. Stephenson, who was sur
geon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry,
and YES mustered cut in 1864. 1t is
matter of general regret that DR.. Ste
phenson did not live to see some of the
beneficial results from his labors. He
died when the order was struggling with
adversity and political dissens.ons. Up
to 1871 the Organization grew, but slowly,
owing to its being regarded q political
and religious body. Gradually these in
fiuences disappeared, and healthy and
rapid growth set in.
The first post commander was M. u.
Tanan, and the first national commander

The order has grown until there are
1000 posts and nearly 500, 600 members.
During the last year $3.50, 900 has been
expended in relieving comrades, ex-
soldiers, and their families. Nearly
forty thousand people have benefited by
the bounty of the order during the year.
The aggregate amount expended by the
Grand Army posts for relief since 1871
has reached the sum Of So, 500, 600.
The Grand Army is a secret order, but
it's principles are pretty we'll known. It's
objects are: "The preservation of those
kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together with strong cords of
love and affection the comrades in arms
of many battles, sieges and marches; to
make these ties available in works and
results Of kindness, of favor and mutual
aid to those In need Of assistance; to
make provision where it is not already

A heavy rain accompanied it, flooding the
