"Sbannon of the Sixtb."

This romantic military drama, which will be presented at the Opera house to- night, is a novelty in many ways. The bero is a young Irish lieutenaot serving in India at the time of the Sepoy rebel- lion in 1857. The strenge people of that distant country are contrasted with the English soldiers and their families and the Incidents are of the most thrilling nature. The rescue of Dora Kimber by Lieut, Shannon forme the climax of the third act. Dora is tied to the mouth of a cannon by tbe Sepoys, and just as the gun ie diecharged Shannon drags her away et the rlek of hie life.

Observation is the basis of all knowl- edge. The men who talk are many; the doers are less; the thinkers are still less, while the eeers are rarer still. Books are too much used in teaching; the eyes should be taught to observe. The ulti- mate aim, therefore, of education is character; all else is the servant and handmaid of character. If we could have character without education we ehould not need the latter. We should have the courage to live out our own destiny ; dare to he true, honest, self-reliant, purpose- ful, noble.

travelers, the rapid run from Boston to Washington was still full of interest. This country grows by days and hours! Here, where six months ago was an opeu field, is a very village of beautiful little boures. Ah! the church spire is tin- ished! Its glistening spire suggests the aspirations of a new group of worship- pers. A wharf has been built far out into the river! A new steamer vay with fresb paiut is being loaden! Here are sevea fine apartment houses receiving their last touches. The magnificent city seen from the ferry is guarded by two more superb xtone giants, which, facing all comers, protect the beauty and great- ness of New York by their stately and splendid frontage.

There is no such sight on earth as New York from the Jersey side. No wunder foreigners stand ju xilent amazement as they see before them this wilderness of splendid structures, reaching to higb heaven and mutely suggesting the finau- cial, commercial, educational civilization wbich they are to realize when they touch foot to our hospitable soil.

But to the Northeruer, anxious to es cape to sun aud sweetness, warmth and bloom, the preliminary trip is but the preface tu that volume of delights which opens page hy page from Washington to the South. Securing by good fortune the best seats iu one of those rolling pal ace trains sent by the Southern railruad to New Orleans daily, with every luxury and convenience within and a raried panorama without, we first leit the real breath of a southern temperature as we drew out from the National city and be- gau that senex of historie pictures which make up the run to Charlottes- ville.

As we glide towards Alexandria we turn for a last look at that splendid white wonder, which potuta heavenward. its suowy needle nearly 600 feet iu wir, to forever honor the name of the father of oor country.

Arington, the many-columned and stately home of the Leer, stands fair and white on an eminence by the Potomnac, and farther down the road we get a glimpse of the historical residence of Madison. Alexandria, once so tilled with the wit, gaiety and fashion of the colonial society. is now but a "deserted village," a dead and alive suburb of the grand city, which has long towered above it, but every foot of ground around and beyond it, from Manaswas to the Kappa hannock and the Rapidan over to the Shenandoah Valley, guarded on the east by a very beautiful range of hills, In aplres some memory of the Civil war or bringa to mlud some anecdote of those stirring days.

Now at the stations we begin to see huntera with their horses and toggery. and nute how much luggage of that de- acriptiun goes off and comes on the train, for the whole country is a field of sport, where the fox, deer, wild turkey and smaller wild fowl attract people from all uver the world, Flock» of quail, 200 in a bunch. rlse as we rush hy and race through cotton and cornfielda now aliorn uf snowy bloom and yellow maize. From tbe windows as we approach this famona town we catch glintpaen of "Monticello," the home of Thomas Jefferson, Seated on the highest elevation faclug the wert- ern sunset, this heantiful structure, the Mecca of 10,000 Americau pilgrims, lifts its historical walls and atately columns in the pride uf ancient memories.

Charlottesville is thoroughly charac. teriatic and typical of Virgiula in Its billa and bollowe, rambling streets and uld-fashioned colonlal mauaions, Nur- rounded with lawns and gardens bordered by hox, and even in February sweet with pansiea and violets, crocuses and tulips. The bright red soil, with dnaky whadows of brown, the apleadid old trees, and over-banging the village at the west the artistic or quaint old building of the university lend a refined and reponeful grace to the atmosphere, lead to the con- templation of the past and hrlug to mind those early days when the great Jeffer- BOD, who founded thia fine Institution of learning, wrote ma ita tuotto and prin-

ciple the famous words: "I have sworu upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranuy over the mind of man."

Albermarle county in rich in historical lure for the American patriut. On the grounds of the nuiversity ouce stood the law office of Jatnex Madison; just across the line ix his residence. Here George Rogers Clark, with his little band of Virginians, suffered privations und trials to which were due the capture of the British ports in the northwest. One of the weirdest stories ever written by Edgar Allen Poe was conceived among the strange and lonesome heights of Ragged mountain, and here he spent some of those college days where lus re- serve, his love of mystery aud the troubled changes of bis singular spirit first began to be shown in bis remark- able literary work.

The college grounds are most striking in their peculiarities. There is an old serpentine wall, which is bullt of solid brick, iu and out, In and out for hundreds of feet and leads around the sloping lawns that are crowned by such build- ings as Thomas Jefferson's old office, the long colonnade porticos of the dos - mitories, the Fairweather gymnasium and the rotunda, suggesting by Its bean- tiful approaches of columns and trees the entrance to a paradise beyoud.
