first to stand for SO much of loyalty and
sacrifice.

five feet ten inches square, and one foot
and eight inches in thickness Two other
bases rise above this, and then lne die

AT LAKEvIEW.

Nothing better has ever been done at
Lakeyiew than "At Follys Feet" last
night. and the generous-sized audience
applauded and laughed at the various
Incidents. The comedy is very brilliant
one and written by England's greatest
suthor, Sidney Gunthy.
The plot is that of @ young fellow In
search of the original of a portrait hang
ing in the Royal Academy. An Italian
Is also looking for the original OF the
same picture. The father of the young
lady and her mother nave literary as
perations, ard altogether the interesting
story is woven and interviewer in
chorming and yet complicated manner.
Kendall Weston played the role of the
young fellow looking for his divinity, and
he played it naturally and at perfect
ease. Mr.. O'IIara played the literary in
clined father Miss Bessie Warren the
mother, and both played with that de-
lightful assurance that only experienced
and artistic perception can give. Mr.. Hall
fax was most amusing as "Signor Per-
catori.' an italian, Mona Darlington APP
peared as the young lady that Weston
and Halifax were searching for. Miss
Darlington made distinct success of the
part (Roca Solinon by nance, and her

beautifully staged, tho real-looking air

at $50 O'CLOCK last evening, and there
is much that is delightful in the first
part of the play, which can only be re-
peated at tonigbt's and Wednesdays per-

committee of the Second Congressional
distrist, has issued a call for the COM
mittee to meet at Montgomery on Fri

fixing the time place and manner Of

ers who contend that only an address to
the people will be given out by the con-
ference, and that the name of the anti
Jelks candidate for Governor will be
withheld for a week or two. and mean
time an agreement may be arrived at by
which some other man than Johnston
will lead the contest against jerks.
Captain Johnston and his friends are
keeping their own counsel, and in the
consequent absence of information spec
ulation as to who viii constitute the con-
ference and as to its probable action is
all the more general and unsatisfactory.
The names of General Oates and Col
onel Quarles are freely mentioned in the
street discussion of the approaching con-
ference; but nobody was found who was
able to state that either of these Demo-
Gratis would attend the conference or be
concerned in it's decision.
The following circular invitation has
been sent out to many men known to be
in sympathy with the effort to nominate
some other than Governor Jelks:
