The Southern Conlederacy,- although in reality a lost, cause, aadio some a myth, ;is still to every true Southerner a liring. moving. animat obrct. : tbe mention of which causes . the tender est fibres 6f our-nature to vibrate. with an admiration approaching unto passionate love fur the grand old heroes who laid down their lives in defence of our honor and bur homes. The name live in the hearts of thess who remember well the fierce straggles under the leadership of Lee, Jackson, and that long line of brave men whose names are enduring monu ments ; to fame: i,t moves . to tears those whose heartswtre torn asunder by t&e rode fortunes e war; it animates the youth to Bfaver an& nobler purposes to hear of the d iring deeds:ot bis ances tors in a cause which was j ist but, alas I unfortunate. ' , Belle Boyd, the Confederate Spy, is a woman of commandiag presence, who claims at once the attention of her hearers, and with a tenacity of purpose she carries us back to the days that tried men's souls and relates in a charming and altogether pleasant manner a few of tbe incidents in connection with her wonderful career during the' four years of the "late ur pleasantness." Tbis is done with no motive ot s xtionalism. which, though it may ex st to some extent, is now a thing ot tbe past; but she tells in a now pathetic, now bumerous narrative the susry ol her devotion .and faithful ness to tbe Southern cause. We have only words of praise for tbe lecturer. We were del'ghted, andLenter- tained to such an extent that we find pleasure in saying that from start to finish she hid the heartiest sympathy of her bearers, which cropped out often in the form of generous applause, and for nearly tvo hours she had the , closest attention of tbe entire audience. . Her articulation, while a trifle rapid, was distinct and almost perfect. Her ges tures were apposite and in many in stances! "striking." Her appropriate costume was a gown ot Confederate gray and the cavalry bat ot the Con federate army. Tbe inclement weather prevented many of our citizens from enjoying a very rare entertainment, there being but a fair audience in attendance. OPERA HOUSE. Bobert Menu 11 es "Monbut" Mondiy j Sight. .

The following is clipped from the St. Louis. Mo, Republican, of recent date : Robert Mantel! began a week's en gagement at the Grand Opera House last evening.- Heappearedin tbe char acter in which he has btcime famous. and justly so, Monbars. Of his. acting nothing new Can be said, it is tbe same scholarly finished personation of a strong character by a magnetic man - tbat was admired by Hundreds o ot. Liuisans last season.

Tbe bill was tn tbe form of a substitute and provided that railroads should be re sponsible for twice the amount of dam ages caused by delay, and fee r q ured to pay attorney's-fees. Mr Fowler sooke against -the bill in its present form. He declared tbat tbe provision to re quire railroads to pay attorney s fees would practically make tbe bill inopera tive if it did not defeat it. He declared tbat no lawyer would take a case on such an uncertain fee. Mr Star buck said be was opposed to the bill from a sense of right. It was a discrimination avaiost the railroads whicn was unjust. Mr Sig mon made a fiery Speech in favor of the railroads. He said that the. trend of leg islation ten years ago was to build up railroads. Since then it bad been to tear tbem down. He said be did not approve of any such class legislation.

Populist, threw an additional firebrand Into the arena by saying if the six per cent, in terest bill was not passed, the election law would not be allowed to go through. Tbis aroused the Republicans to greater indignation.
