SOCIAL GOSSIP.

A large and select audience assembled at Seals hall last night to witness the piano recital given by Miss Florence Marshall and her assistants. Of Miss Marshall as a musician, much has been said and much was expected, and the general verdict after the recital was that all expectations were realized and more.
 Miss Marshall is a wonderful musi- elan. While yet very young she has a mastery of the piano equalled by few, and for her years. eXcelled by none.
 As a mere child she manifested great musical talent and gave promise of de- veloping into a wonder in the music world. A year ago she was sent to To- ronto, Canada, and placed under the care of an eminent tutor. In Birming- ham, where Miss Marshall was known in her childhood, she has won the admra- ton of all music loving people. In addi- tion to her wonderful musical talent she is a remarkably bright girl and wins the love and esteem of all who meet her.
 She was assisted in the recital last night by four of Blrminghams gifted daughters, who well sustained their rep utations. Birmingham is justly proud of her sweet singers, of whom she has many, but none are more popular or more admired than Misses Pattie Ruff ner and Lottie Coffin, who have delight ed so many auulenceS W1lll unelf sweet singing, and Misses Rose and Grace Openshaw, whose excellent playing has pleased so well.
 Miss Grace Openshaw has recently re- turned from a conservatory of music iii Cincinnati, where she spent the past year Her violin solo last night was highly appreciated and elicited the heartiest applause.

 At an officers meeting of the field staff and line officers of the Second regiment, held at the Jefferson Volun- teers' armory yesterday afternoon, the following resolutions were unanimously passed with Colonel Clark, who has just returned from an absence of two weeks. in the chair
 Whereas. On last Wednesday there appeared in the daily State an editorial feftecting on the behavior of the state troops in general at the Mobile encamp- ment, and
 Whereas The state. which has former ly been a strong friend of the military, must have been misinforned as to the leTal department of the soldiers, and
 Whereas, The officers of the Second regiment are in no sense responsible for the said editorial. having had no intima- tion of it until it's appearance on the date mentioned, and
 Whereas The Birmingham officers of the Second regiment promptly resented the editorial in officers meeting q few days after it's appearance, but owing to the absence of their field officers deferred official action till their return. therefore. be 1t now resolved:
 1. That 1t is the sense of this meeting of the Birmingham officers of the Second regiment that such editorial was Had vised, and so far as it applied to the gen eral conduct of all the men in camp was unjust.
 2. That il is to be regretted that any suspicion should have been attached to the Birmingham officers of the Second regiment in connection with such publi- cation.
 3. That we believe the State intended to have reference only to those few younger members of@the military who were guilty of disorderly conduct on the streets of Mobile and not to the organi- Zation of the Alabama state troops.
 4. That the Second regiment disclaimed any political preference by declining to entertain a proposition to indorse for speaker of the next house of representa- tives a pominent young man who has proven himself -on all occasions great friend of the military.
 5. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished each of the daily papers of Alabama which have given circulation to the States editorial

SEEKING LAND.
A Letter Received by Secretary Thompson of the Commercial Club Which Means
 More Than Little.

Below is a letter that speaks for itself about other work that the Commercial club has in hand. When Secretary Thompson went to Cincinnati in April last it was to get in touch with the col- onization movement that was then at fever heat for Georgia. He gave all the Cincinnati and Louisville papers an in- terview on advantages of Alabama for settlers, and the result was a very wide inquiry about Alabama lands, and if the movement can be followed up there is a certainty that thousands of the very best class of citizens can be induced to settle in Alabama. This means increased trade for those cities and towns where such settlements spring up. and thou sands of these "prospectorS" are coming to the Atlanta exposition specially to see what inducements the south has for agricultural settlers. There is not a city or town in the state, therefore, but what can receive benefits from that exposi- ton in this direction if in no other, so that every town should be in line with this movement. But the party referred to below has 100 families who are in readiness to come south this fall and the following letter shows what they want:
 '---, July 6. 1895. IN. F. Thompson, Secretary Birming-
 ham, Ala
 Dear Sir: We need 10000 to 10000 acres of good grain and fruit land. It must be in healthy locality for north ern people. The water good and on or near a railroad. We are not looking for mineral lands or timber Send us full description of any such lands and give us lowest cash prices.
