The majority o( the sluht-seen. and participators were, of course, Southern born men; but there were present hundreds of nt-n bom in the North, who came from Northern cities,nr from Southern cities of their adoption like Atlanta, Birmingham and Savannah, in order to prove their lutereat In this memorable occasion. No better augury of the present aud future prosperity of the 8outh which is bound up In the good feeling of each part of the country to every other part could be found than by witnessing the plnsuro and sympathy of Northern visitors in the demonstration held at the former capital of the Confederacy. Memorial day also gave another proof that the hospitality of the South Is not the sort that vanlsheth itself, but the true, genuine kind tbut springs from the heart.A trnlt that would have distinguished Miss Mary Lee, the youDger daughter of Gen. It. E. Lee, among politicians Is her wonderful memory for faces and names. Even a casual acquaintance met years before is not forgotten, and meeting him several years afterward she at once speaks liis name aud recalls all the details of their former meeting. Miss Lee came from Egypt to witness the uuveillng of the statue of her father. She has spent the last five years in Portugal, France, Russia and the Island of Madeira. Miss Lee arrived In New York entirely unannounced to her many friends here, who would have gone In troops to the dock to meet her Instead of allowing her to stand alone for two hours on the pier in a cold, drizzling rain. She had expected to find it hot iu New York.nnd packed away all her wraps before lauding, thereby contracting a severe cold. She is a tall woman of distinguished presence, and possesses that vivacious charm of tnaunor and brilliancy of conversation which are Nature’s best gifts to her Miss Lee will remain In America, visiting friends in the South, until next spring, when she will sail for Rome.Stacks of new Swiss Fmunolngs just opened atThornton Wheatley's.The only flrst-class stock of Dress Goods in the olty atThornton Wheatley's.Magnificent stock Nottingham Lace Curtaiue just opened atThornton Wheatley’s.Elegant new Black Silk Grenadines, $l.no to $1.60 a yard; beautiful lot new Wool Challles, new Surah and Fancy Trimming rdlka, uew Mitts, Blbbone, Hosiery, Handkerchiefs and Gloves just opened at Thornton Wheatley’s.On the day of the great parade I • Richmond, two windows of ahouse on Frnnklyn street, the most beautiful street of that beautiful city, were decorated in the black and gold colors of Maryland, in compliment to n lady, agueBtof the house, aud whoso name was n famous oue lu the aunals of. the Confederacy. The white hair and youthful face of Mrs. Sfiumv-s-Ive- were visible at - he window until the Society of tho Army aud Navy in Maryland baited before the house, and* their band played “Maryland, iny Maryland,” when the lady had to withdraw to conceal the unwilling tears.Mrs. Ives left Richmond after tho unvelllug to visit her sister, Mrs, Semmes-Pnlne, at Warrentou, Vo.The New York Tribuue asked tho other day apro|K)s of a story In the Atlantic Monthly, by a young lady who has recently attained considerable literary prominenco, “Who Is Viola Roseboro?” The two brilliant Southern writers, Charles Egbert Craddock and Araelle Rives Chandler,have been silent for some time. This young author, also a young Southern woman, le destined to fill both places thus left vacant. Miss Viola Roseboro is the daughter of a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, and wse born In Pulaski, Tenn. She is a niece of Col. A. S. Collier, a well known lawyer of Naahville, and a cousin of ex-Gov-ernor Marks, of Tennessee. The first essay of her ambitious nature was for dramatlo laurels, and she went on the stage as leading juvi-nlle In Kate Ciaxton’a company. She was a successful actress aud still speaks lovingly of the art, but It failed to satisfy her. She went Into journalism in New York about five years ago, aud for some time wrote for the Graphic, all her article* being marked by a charming ■prlghtRness of style. Her short stories published iu the Century have bad a great success of smiles and tears—the popular compound. Thoy are neither dialectic or orotic, and she Is possessed of a style cbsrmlng in its simplicity. In tho Centennial number of the Centory appeared “A Jest of Fate,” a tale of the backwoods of Tenneasee. 1$ Immediately attracted the attention and comment of such men as T. W. Hlgginson and Brainier Matthews, and since that timo several talcshave been aocepted for publication.

Parker, of Richmond, theautborof “Recollections of a Naval Cfficer, has written to the editor of the Times, suggesting that some of tho wealthy and enterprising citizens of New York fit out a vessel *nd sail for the island of San Domingo, with tho object of bringing lo New York or Washington the remains of the house which Columbus built, which are still dls-ceruable In the rulued city of Isabella. Mr. Parker says It would cost but little to make nu examination of the rulus, aud If only a portion of Columbus’ bouse can be set up In New York “‘there's millions In It.’”Perhaps there would, Mr. Parker, but wo respectfully beg of you to leave the house In the ruined village of the Islaud he discovered. There it has a significance and teaches a lesson to those who would seek It In Saw Domingo. Set up In Central Park, between the Metropolitan Museum and the merry-go-rounds, or on Coney Island next to the big elephant, it would doubtless attract the pennies of the curious, but It would present a pathetic appearance there, which could not but make the judicious grieve.Stekll Livingston.abiGeexttheTh.neWorthy Of Trust.A tourist climbing up a mountain side doesn’t want a small, limber or rotten stick.
