MUSIC AND DRAMA

After witnessing Alabama" at Ma
cauley's theatre, Louisville, Henry Wa
terson wrote: THE wooing of Hia-
watha is no more lovely and contains
no more true poetry than does the
wooing of Mrs. Page by Captain Dav-
export in Augustus Thomas sweet
toned romance of the south. "Alaba-
ma" nor is the biblical story of the
return of the prodigal son more affec-
ting in its simplicity, more true in it's
delineation Of the strength of the ties
that bind than is the return of Col
onel Preston'S long estranged son to
his old father, broken with grief, and
TO his southern home"
Mn Thomas chose wisely in choos-
ing a southern plantation for the
scenes of his play, The south is the
most picturesque part of our country.
The old social order at the south
was a hundred times more romantic
pictorial and interesting than any So
cial order at the north either is now
or ever has been. Much also depends
upon climate. 1t affects character and
manners as we'll as atmosphere and To-
Hage. The people in this play soothe
and charm you by a certain languor
which is full of repose. The purpose
of the author was not to set the easy,
indolent, drifting temperament of the
Souui III sharp COUtIdSt WIFI The more
alert and expeditions energy of rorth-
ern enterprise. The social complexi-
ties, individual alterations and the
changes and sorrows resulting from
the civil war were wisely chosen as "a
background and setting for the picture
The characters in the play are all true
to Hfe-not caricatures-in fact they
were all taken from people whom Mr.
Thomas met at or in the neighborhood
of Talladega, Ala, the place where the
scenes of the play are laid, The play
will be presented at the Crawford OPP
era house the three last nights of this
week, commencing Thursday, October
3, by Clement Bainbridge's company
which is now in the fifth year of its
rearkable success.

RELIC OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Dtinging Letter from the Comm
Army Resignations.

Army Resignations.
Mrs. John S. Brown, the wife of Vice
President Brown, of the First national
bank of Charlottesville, has relic
which is not for sale, being nothing
less than an autograph letter of Gen.
GEORGE Washington. The letter, says
the indianapolis News, was found
many years ago among the papers OF
Maj. Beall, Of Virginia, the great
grandfather of Mrs. Brown, and it has
been treasured as precious heirloom
ever since. Maj. Beall was in the con-
tinental army, and the letter was
written to him upon his resignation
from the service, after the terrible win
ter at Valley Forge. The letter IL still
in good condition, having carefully
been framed, and is one of the few su-
tograph letters Of Washington extant-
1t has the characteristic signature.
Astounding in fourishes, but the bal
ance of the letter II written In u COM
paratively plain hand. The letter reads
rs follows:
Headquarters, S1st March, ITS
Sir: l have received your letter Of
this date inolosing your commission
The frequency Of resignation through
out the army is truly alarming. In
the Virginia line this spirit unhsppily
seems to rage like an epidemical dis
ease. I am at a loss to account how
gentlemen can reconcile such an aban-
donment of the public interest at this
crisis of our affairs, either with the
principles of honor or duty to them
selves and their country. If, however,
you think yourself warranted and are
determined to quit the army 1 must At
least insist upon your retaining your
commission till the arrival of more Of
fcers In camp. / am, sir, your most
obj. 6ervt., Il. Washington"
The straightforward letter Of tho
great commander so affected Maj.
Beau that he continued in the service.
and was instrumental In bringing
b about the recall Of number Of other
designations.
