Vir. Charles G. Vardcll, Jr. “Hia-
vatha’s Wedding Feast” is tlie first
])art of trilogy written by Samuel
Coleridge-'l’aylor in scenes from
“Hiawatha,” by Longfellow. It is
remarkable for its colorful orchestra
tion, rhythmic vitality, and Indian
atmosphere. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor is
probably the most renowned ncgrn
composer of the day, and is especial
ly famous for his peculiar varieties
of rhythms, and wierd harmonic
combinations.
The solo parts of the cantata will
be sung by Miss Mary B. Williams,
soprano, pupil of Mr. Schofield. The
chorus is composed of Salem College
faculty and students and a number
of singers from Winston-Salem.
The Orchestra consists of the fol

Academy of Dramatic Art, and has
lakin ])art in many amateur per
formances, as well as directing sev
eral.
These plays for the last two years
and likewise the one this year have
been distinguished by having music
comi)osed exclusively for them. Dean
Charles G. Vardcll, Jr., of the School
of Music, has created settings for
the choruses which suggest the spirit
of the classical world and have
great deal of individuality. These
clioruses are sung by picked voices
from the College Glee Club, and are
trained by Mr. Ernest I-. Schofield,
of the Voice Department.
The Characters are as follows:
Orestes—Gertrude Schwalbe.
Guardian of Oreste.s—Jane Rond-
thalcr.
Electra—Margaret Hauser.
Chrysotlicmis—Elois Padrick.
Ch'temncstra—Patrica MacMullan.
Egithus—Babe Silversteen.
Pyladcs—Cortlandt Preston.
Ladies of Mycenae—Betty Stough

Could it be a fashion show that I
IS seeing? Hardly!! I was stretch-
on the grass in front of the
pus door of Alice Clewell Building
watching ’em go by: First came Ga
rett and Burroughs Co. Eacli had
blanket under one arm and a pillo
under the other. They toured on ov
toward Main Hall making a most
horrible noise which some people
ognize as a liog call.
Next came Carrol and Preston
fussing loudly about which would
get the most something. They had
equipment as Maria
Jean and followed the same path.
Before they had got out of sight
along came Dorabelle Graves a
Mary Sample. Dorabelle seemed
be worrying about freckles and May'
was trying to assure her that the
more the better because more frec
kles, less face to look at. They
struggled on, with their blankets and
pillows, along the same path the
others had taken.
Next came Thorpe and Siewers—
they seemed to be ashamed of where
they were going with their pillows
and blankets for they kept looking
furtively around as though afraid of
I was dying with curiosity—what
could it all be about? I fell asleep
only to be awakened an hour and a
half later by moans and groans. The
fashion show was coming back. This
time there were only two groups—
The first was composed of Mary
Sample and Jean. They were car-
11 the blankets and pillows—
tiie big suck-ins. The other group
made up of Katie, Mary C.,
a, Rachel, Cokey and Dorabelle.
1 the pitiful sounds which were
l)eing created by these girls I gath
ered that there must have been an-
otlier civil war and that these were
the wounded.
day this same group came
trouping out equipped as before.
This day however there were several
additions to the group —
Hooks, Hemp Edgerton, Ji
liams, Claudia Foy, Grace Pollock,
Annie Shuford, Mary B. and Wan-
Curiosity got the best of me so I
decided to follow them. If there
to be another war I was determined
to liave a front seat. One gla
me I was mistaken. There was to be
no war. Now everything was clear
as day. Stretched out here, yon
der and everywhere were girls get
ting sunburned.
Everyone else who is as far behind
as I was, take a hint from
now the season for sunburn—get
vour pillows and blankets and join
the happy party and let’s all get a
new coat! (It’s been a long
since I had one).
Macauley Makes Prophesies
Regarding Destiny of
Our Nation
To ILnry S. Randall,
Holly Lodge S. Kensington,
London, May 23, 1857..
Dear Sir;
You are surprised to learn tliat
I have not a high opinion of Mi
Jefferson—and I am a little sui
prised at your surprise. I am cej
tain that I never wrote a line, and
that never in Parliament, in (
versation, or in the hustings, -
place where it is the fashion
court the populace — uttered a
indicating an ojiinion that the
preme authority in a state ought
to be intrusted to the majority of
citizens told by the head; in other
words, to the poorest and
norant part of society. I have long
been convinced that institution:
purely democratic must, sooner o:
:er, destroy liberty, or civiliza
m, or t)oth.
In Europe, where the population
dense, the effect of such institu-
)ns would be almost instantan-
us. What happened lately in
-ance is an example. In 1818 a
pure dimocracy was established
there. During a short time there
was reason to expect a general
spoilation, a national bankruptcy,
a new ])artition of the soil, a maxi
mum of prices, a ruinous load of
taxation on the rich for the purpose
of supporting the poor in idleness.
Such a system would in twenty years
have made France as poor and bar-
tiarous as the France of the Carlo-
vignian’s. Happily the danger w'as
averted; and onw there is despotism,
a silent tribune, an enslaved press.
Liberty is gone; but civilian has been
saved that, if we had a purely demo
cratic government here, the effect
would be the same. Either the poor
would plunder the rich, and civiliza
tion w’ould perish; or order and prop
erty would be saved by a strong mili
tary govenrment, and liberty would
perish.
You may think your country en
joys an exemption from these evils.
I wil frankly own to you that I am
of a different opinion. Your fate I
believe to be certain, though it is de
ferred by a psysical cause. As long
as you have a boundless extent of
fertile and unoccupied lands, yoi
laboring population will be far mo
atvcase than the laboring populatit
of the old world, and while that
the ease, the Jefferson policy m;
continue to exist without causing any
fatal calamity. But the time will
come when New England will be as
thickly peopled as old England.
Wages will be low; and wil fluctuate
with you as much as with us. You
ill have your Manchesters and Bi
inghams, hundreds of thousands of
artisians will surely be out of work.
Then your institutions will be fairly
brought to the test. Distress every
where makes the labor mutinous and
discontented, and incli
ten with eagerness to agitators who
that one man should have a million
tell him that it is a monstrous iniquity
while another cannot get a full meal.
In bad years, there is a plenty of
grumbling here, and sometimes a lit
tle rioting. But it matters little;
for here the sufferers are not the
rulers. The supreme power is in the
hands of a class nhmerous indeed,
but select; of an educated class, of
a class which is and knows itself to
be, deeply interested in the security
of property, and the maintenance of
order. Accordingly the malcontents
are firmly but gently restrained. The
bad time is got over without robbing
the wealthy to relieve the indigent.
The springs of national prosperity
begin to flow again; work is plen
tiful wages rise, and all is tranquility
and cheerfulness. I have seen Eng-
landpass three or four times through
such critical seasons as I have de
scribed. Througji such timtes the
U. S. will have to pass, in the course
of the next century, if not m this.
How will you pass through them? I
heartily wish you a good deliverance.
But my reason and my wishes
at war,’ and I cannot help forboding
the worst. It is quite plain th.at
government
ilutely at its mercy. The day will
ime when in the State of New York,
multitude of people, none of whom
has had more than half a breakfast,
:pects to have more than hrif a
dinner, will chose a legislator. Is it
possible to doubt what sort of legisla
ture will be chosen? On one hand
is a statesman preaching patient re
spect for vested rights, strict ob
servance of public faith. On the
other is a demagogue, ranting about
the tyranny of capitalists and
usercrs and asking why anybody
should be permitted to drink cham
pagne, and to ride in a carriage while
thousands of honest folks are in
want of necessities. Which of the
two candidates is likely to be prefer
red by a workingman who heard his
children cry for more bread? I ser
iously apprehend that in some such
season of adversity as I have de
scribed you will do things which will
prevent prosperity from returning;
that you will act like people who
should, in a year a scarcity, devour
the seed corn, and thus make the
t year not a year of scarcity but
of absilute famine. 'I'here will be,
spoliation. The spoliation
rease the distress will pro
duce fresh spoilation. 'I'here is noth
ing to stop you. Your Constitution
all sail and no anchor. As I said
before, when a society has entered
this d')wnward progress, either
lization or liberty' must perish.
Either some Caesar or Napoleon will
seize the reins of government with a
strong hand, or your republic will be
as fearfully plundered and laid waste
by the barbarians in the twentieth
itury as the Roman Empire was in
the fifth—with this difference, that
the Huns and Vandals who ravaged
the Roman Empire came from with
out, and that your Huns and Vandals
'lave been engendered within
own country, by your own insti
tutions.
'I'hinking thus, I cannot reckon
Jefferson among the benefactors of
mankind. I readily admit that his in
tentions were good, and his abilities
considerable. Odious stories ' have
been circulated aboute his pri\Ve
life; but I do not know on what evi
dence; these stories re.st; and I think
that it is probable that they are false
monstrously exaggerated. I have
doubt that I shall derive both
easure and information from your
I have the honor to be, dear sir.
Your faithful servant,
T. B. MACAULEY.
