mostly subscribed BY the Pennsylvania and
Northern manufacturers whose interest It

whatever cost. No wonder the Democrats
were bsaren with such tremendous corrup-
ton funds against them.-Lynchburg

Joan of Arc has been the theme of mauy
PLAYS, of which Schiller's "Jungfrau Won
Orleans" is perhaps the most widely known
She has figured in tragedy, melodrama opera
and burlesque. On the side of historical re-
search it has been attempted to prove that she
belongs to the same category of myths or
legends as William Tell, while witty but un-
feeling countryman of her own has described
her as a cowgirl who was little too familiar
with French soldiers. The Joan of Arc that is
accepted in the history of France as taught in
French schools, was born in the year l4ll in
Domremy situated partly IN Champagne and
Lorraine, France. Her early history is of little
interest JOAN at the age of II. attended her
fathers 1ocks in the forest of Domremy and 1t
was there she professed to have heard the
voices of her patron saints calling on her to de-
liver France from its enemies. In 1422 Henry
vi, of England, then an infant was
proclaimed King Of France. Charles VII,
of France, then on the throne was
leading dissolute life, neglecting his country
and people, seldom leaving his court at Chinon.
In l429, when Joan was Is years Of age, she left
her quiet rustic home near the beautiful forest
of Doremy and, accompanied by two knights,
visited tho court to see the king and tell him of
her divine mission-the deliverance of the
country. After considerable difficulty, Joan
received her commission from the king and
set out for Orleans at the head of her own
army. Orleans. for destination, was then in

Apropos of the presentation of the new
English melodrama at the Grand Opera House,
Monday next we take the following from the
Philadelphia Inquirer of Tuesday last: That
admirable melodrama, Hands Across the
Sea-" by far the best work that has come from
the pen of that gifted English playwright,
Henry Pettitt, drew large audience az the
theater last night and was received with the
utmost enthusiasm. The play is full of heart
interest from beginning to end. and wins the
spectator as much from this fact as from the
number of strongly sensational episodes it
possesses. The scenery was notably handsome
and the effect of the steamship in fog on the
high seas was realistic and striking i'm the
highest degree. George Frederick Nash as
Jack Dudley was manly and strong while
Robert p. Gibbs as Jean de Lussdc did ex-
cellent character dialect work. Charles ].
jackson as Ton. BdSset was clever and anus
ing, while w. III. Wallis gave fine rendition
of the role of Dick Medford. All the other
roles we're in the hands of thoroughly capable
people.
