From Harper's Magazine.
Miss Dolby, when Jenny Lind came to
England in 1S47 was a slim-waisted. tall.
dark girl, well proportioned, quite solid
and unethereal, but most earnest and
conscientious student gifted with superb.
deep contralto, and a bonhomie and homely
grace of her own that won, without exactly
fascinating, the public at first. She was
equally good at a rousing Scotch song or a
freside domestic ballad John Hullah wrote
the famous Three Fishers for her in his
later days.; but in oratorio, and in her own
way, Miss Dolby was supreme-not second
even to Jenny. Certainly she never had
that extraordinary and weird magnetism
which made unmusical people like Stanley.

Miss Dolby's moment came. When Jenny

first magnitude: she thus directly invaded

cept the situation quite as gracefully as
she could well have afforded to do. 1t was
to her q necessity to outshine every one.
Mendelssohn was doubtless a good deal
smitten with the Swedish nightingale. He
not unnaturally wrote his great soprano

meeting broke into an unmanageable mob.
while Gibbons roared, mo violence, men,,
and Intellectually waved his arms over the
turbulent, seething. struggling mass. His
appeals were as futile as Caluie's COM
mands to the sea. The chairman pounded
unheard the table with his mallet. Once
| Marsten shook himself free and rose to his
! feet. His right hand, with the tattered
| letter still cienched in it, appeared above
| the heads of the combatants for moment,
1 then it suddenly disappeared and he went
/ down finally under the feet Of the madden
| ed, tramp!ing horde.
The police struck in promptly and with
effect. The side door was thrown open,
! and Marsten was dragged out through it,
accompanied by several struggling, torn
| and bleeding rioters who had been nabbed
| by the law. Gradually the pounding on
| the table became audible, and Gibbons
| voice. now hoarse with useless calling for
| peace could be heard.

| been even the semblance of a disturbance

him to obey the chair. this deploraDle event

regard occupied a position along Bull
Run which did great credit 20 his Judg-
ment as the civilian riding down the
pike from Centeryillo toward warren can
see TO-DAY. The way Is down hill 10 the
stone bridge. Then comes Hat OF low
hundred yards and the hills rise rather
abruptly. There arc wood lots 10 conceal
real strength and open fields 20 permit the
deplOying of considerable bodies. FROM
the hills tho Confederates could look
toward Centerville and soc the Union
brigades moving toward them WIN the
worst part of Bull Run 90 cross before
tho battle became hot. But after tho
o.ening gun, which was answered all
along the front the brigades didn't ad-
vance 10 cross Bull Run where Beaure-
gard expected and where he was prepared
TO welcc me them with bloody hands TO
hospitable graves They halted mt the
stone bridge and the fCrds further toward
the Confederate right and began TO move
with great column across Bull Run higher
up, at Sudley's Mill. They came down
toward BeauregaTd by road which
brought them against his left and rear.
1t was Ia case OF thanking which the
science OF war could not have improved
upon. The Confederate commander WAS
fored to swing back his left wing from
its fine front along Bull Kun, whore he
had chosen his ground, and 20 face at
tack from an unexpected direction. After
that it was anybody's fight What hap
penod to the First Minnesota fairly
shows the confusion which ensued. This
regiment having moved into position as
ordered, found its front within pistol
shot of large body Of men.
"Col. Heintzelman, says Col. German,
of the Minnesota regiment rode up be-
tween our lines which staggered my
Judgment whether those in front were
friends or enemies 1t being equally mani
fest that the enemy were in the Same
dilemma as to our identity. But few
seconds undeoeived both, they displaying
the rebel ana we the Union flag. In
stantly blaze of fire was poured into
the faces of the comb itants. each pro-
ducing terrible destruction owing to the
close proximity of the forces. which was
followed by volloy after volley In regu-
lar and irregular order "
That was the kind OF fighting which
came OF a battle planned perfectly by both
commanders Just before ho battle Gen.
Beauregard issued Go his soldiers this
stirring and reassuring address:
1.-The general commanding the Army of
the Potomac announces TO his command
that at length the enemy have advanced
to subjugate sovereign. and impose upon
aifree people an odious government Not

correspondent gives an interesting
description Of receLt visit TO the historic
battlefield at Bull Run. His visit was
on Supday and he says IL was very
much such Sunday as when Mcdowell
came TO Bull Run, July 81, 1891 The
corn was tasselinq in some fields and at
least waist high in all. as IL is now. The
wheat was in the shock. The oats haa
been cradeled. Marching along the VIZ
xinia pixies, the Northern invaders passed
the fringe of hills south Of the Potomac.
They came Co an undulating country. As
<huy reached successive SUBMITS OF the
gradual rises they looked forward upon
stretches of country divided into squares
of woodland, cornfields. meadows and
small grain stubble. At the bottom of
avery descent was stream Of pure spring
water wriggling TO the eastward to find
its way to the Potomac. Az the top OF
every ridge the soil was thin. the powders
were in sight and the suggestion OF a
semi region was impressed
by the firs as well as by the excess of
rock.
The country mas cnangeu Dut llttle, tno
Inhabitants say. There are about the
same divisions OF woods and titled fields
that there were then. The roads are whore
they were On the pixies can be seem to-
nay some of the close ccbblestone paving
that was done with slave labor aud was
in use thirty six years ago. Today the
farmer Of Fairfax and London and Prince
William dosn't wreck the springs OF his

State militia from New York, batteries
from the regular army, battalions of
United States cavalry. marines from the
navy yard, Fire Zouaves from New York
city, volunteers from all of the New Eng

one from Minnesota, and two from Ohio
