GRANTS SIGNAL LIGHTS.

The signal code used by Man
ager Windham in the play, Siege
of VicksbuIg, is on the same prir-
ciple as that used by Gen. Grant
before Vicksburg in tc.egraphing
instructions to Phil. Sheridan,
previous to that general 5 attack
on Johnson.
This is the same signal service
over which SO much has been said
aud written between Generals
Schofeld, Miles, Foraker and
Harrison during the past few
years. and when put in use fer the
first time on stage at the Bed
ford avenue theater, New York,
Gen. Sch0feid in an sr-iClc in the
Military Review stated that the
actors had solved the question and
in his mind it was correct IN every
detail.
These same signals will be used
at the opera house tomorrow night
in the play, Siege Of Vicksburg.

unknown to South African colOnists, as
the outward and boneward steamers to

three Weeks and make a brief stoppage.
And yet this historic island is We'll worthy
a visit not only from its association with
the great Corsican. hut also because it
possesses probably the finest climate in the
world. A constant bfsoutheasterly tradewind
