A fair audience greeted Miss Coutlioui on her appearance in Victoria, Hall,last Friday- evening, •and • heeordechor au .:enthusiastic reception. -Miss Couthoui read or rather recited "Out o' the Fire,” "A Boys' Composition on the Horse;' "How Rubenstein Played," ",hock' of Ages," "The Boot Blacks," "Money Musk," "Medley," and, "Surly.Tinr's Troubles," all of which were givenin a style that proved her to be a reader of great power and pathos. We have placed the numbers in'order•of merit in which they were seeminglyreceived by the audience, with which judgment we entirely accord, for the lady, al. though good in all, excelled in those pieces , where broad humor of the American'type required delinea- tion. In the niore comic numbers, notably in the "Boys' Composition. on the Boras,"•the lady's wonderful facial expression was. developed to great advantage and helped consider-' ably to earn the applause that greet- ed the termination of each reading; Previous to 'her appearance it was, rumored ft -let Miss Coutlioni.rivalled Mrs. Scott"Siddons On this'point we will `. offer no; opinion- until we hear the lady ; in some of those pieces that hare; earned for Mrs, Scott, Siddons the reputation of be-. ing the first elocutionist of the day. The pleasure of :the evening was considerably enhauced by Miss Cooke's 'and' Prof. De Peudry's artistic manipulation of the piano,. and Mr. Ll'oyd's' charming violin accompaniments We must, not for- get to mention' Misses Wynn and Radcliffe each of whom contributed tiro numbers, and each of whom merited the encores accordef. 117:hen the chairman announced 'the last" number he described it as the' •lastpiece;of the audience. Here we. blushed to the roots of our hair for we had been so broken up by "Jen- ny Taking the Hay" that aye felt awfully guilty.To our great relief hoivever the gentleman amendircl. his notice, and we' were enabled.to join in "God Save the Queen,",fool= ing that the Chairman had not .in- tuitively read. our thoughts regard- ing the winning sous. ..The pro- ceeds of the evening j ust. cover ex- penses.a result that could hardly have • been.. expected on such' a stormy evening: A correspouclent in last number. of the ,Star tries to make hit at y our corrospourlent regarding: a few'.re,. marks some weoks•since;on an, anony- mous . letter published in the Stat, wherein the "cMMldren of many pro- minent members 'of the church of England":.were held .°up to public odium. ` As this was "the -first case for 'many -years -of, Episcopalians washing their dirty linen in public, we gave those: concerned the follow- ing advice&c, "if they'wcre not ;com- petent to control' such shows, let them get up more appropriate lenten ones" and we lrerce re eat the advice. O•iir noti ie7lit a .ono goo effect, however, it has made the writer of the scurrilous -letter, show •up, and the, public ' are informed, that the person who maligned the children is Mr. J. A. Naftol. It willbeobsorv- ed by those who have read the gentleman's latest contribution to literature that it "accidentally' fell to his lot"•to write the insulting lot- ter•tlrat caused your correspondent's. remarks. • Accidentally I how? did ho draw lots, or did he do it while. "in • a state of merriment." The c14ldre11'a maligner says that' he is "ready to go down to Ulo .Sof toter" ; we thought he had touched bottom when he published his first-rnixture of 'fulsome praise and undeserved abuse, but as he has not, we sorrow- fully hope that he can not go •iriuch lotbor than lie • has already done, Like the "accidental" writers we night write more on the question, b'u't unlike Trim, we refrain from commenting on a vestry meeting's proceedings that only concern the members and the church. We may state that -we approve of the C. of E. T. S. whenconducted one ghurch besis, like it was by the Rev. Owen Jones, but when during the elrurch's. most sacred season the little ones ate shouting negro melodios•-pielc d up at the meeting the question arises as to whetherthe new depar- ture is in 'conformity with the' 'ehuiclr's work, It is well,`" ieriia ps, to realty* that that tlro-'coutif t 1. f or at the meetings was not, noticed in these columns until the publica- tion of Mr. J. A. Naftel's communi- cation, and then only because public duty, and justice to our children demanded that untruthful and un- gentlemanly statements should not go unchallenged. • Tuck ramith.

Someof the guid folk of, the' congregation indulged in re- crinii'natory discussion in •the base- ment, the disputed point being' as to who had given most or least to- wards showing that the laborer in the Christian Vineyard is worthy of his hire.
