| President of the U. s., ABRAHAM INcoLN.
secretary Of War, SIMON CAMERON
Then the war broke out, and little
over a year laler the name OF Jefferson
DAVIS was cut out of the tablet by some
| enthusiastic Dortherner, leaving deep,
vide sash, uusightly and curious look
| ing. which has been one of the interest
ing points visited by tourists who come
| to Washington. The tablet attracts in
| Guitely more attention now In lie
present condition than would ever have
been the case had the name remained
| intact.
Owing 10 the great excitement OF the
the period it was impossible to ascertain
| with any assured success just how the
| name was cut of and by whose orders.
| Dilieeut research on the part of officials OF
the War Department has failed to IN.
earth any order directing the mutiiation
OF the tablet. II hes been supposed
that the tablet was cut by order OF
Lieutenant Meigs, the engineer, who
became qusrtermaster general during
the war, but this was always emphst-
lcally denied by General Meigs and his
friends. The following version OF the
erssure aud Its causss is given by
William K. Hutton, formerly chief
engineer of the squeduct, aud now
distinguished civil engineer OF New
York. Mr.. Hutton's statement, made
10 the son Of General Meigs, says:
"lo June, 1862, at the request OF the
secretary Of the interior, Hon. Caleb b.
smith, to whose department the sque-
duct had lust been transferred, accom-.
panied the secretary and number OF
members of Congress on tour OF In
speotion OF the squeduct by way OF the
lc,pal. Opposite Cabin John Bridge
several of the party disembarked and
walked to the bridge for nearer view

first appearance. this season, of Robert Bruce
 Pegram as lecturer on Musical history. He showed with much interest how the origin of
 music was in the desire to express emotion.
 His talk was interspersed with facts and
 fancfes. both striking and astonishing. This
 was to be expected from one who has been graduated from Columbia college and who
 in addition to his degree of A. B. has received diploma entltling him to teach English in
 High Schools. His contact with Edward A. Mcdowell, professor of music in Columbia
 was of great value to him in preparing this series Of lectures of which this is the first. It
 was announced that in the succeeding one the subjects treated will be early Hfndoo
 Modes; Following the lecture was an in Lena Horton Dickson and of the female quartet and chorus were the features of special interest. Miss Dickson possesses a a voice of charming quality and power and in addition a sweet and winning stage presence, She sang her selection with fine control and excellent tone The singing in the female quartet and chorus gave evidence of the we'll known fact that perfect method of singing and the training of voices according to that method plays an enormous part in the perfect blending of voices. The shading and color bear out finely the reputation which MT Greene has as director of power and force. From now on until the 24th of August there will be something to please music lovers going on at the Town hall every Saturday at p. m. The public is cordially invited to be present.
