rvice of every Maryland man who fought under the Confederate flag, on land or sea. We desire to commend most heartily these objects to the imitation of similar organizations elsewhere. Many of our Confederate Associations have a good time generally at their reunions and banquets, but they fail to make any practical provision for writing and preserving their history. The death of Colonel George Wythe Munford, which occured suddenly at his residence in Richmond, on the night of January 9th, 1882, has caused universal sorrow, and leaves many a vacant place which had been so well filled by this accomplished Virginia gentleman. Others have fitly spoken his eulogy as the able, incorruptible, efficient, State officer, the good citizen, and the man above reproach in all of the relations of life. We shall miss him, especially, as one of the most punctual, genial and efficient members of our Executive Committee, one of the most devoted Confederates, and one whose facile pen had ma

odrama. Even James A. Herne, who had a career as actor in San Francisco which presaged greater work to come, did not arrive in New York until later, though he had begun his playwriting when Hearts of Oak was given at Baldwin's Theatre, San Francisco, 9 September, 1879. And we are rightly inclined to regard Herne as our first exponent of reality in the sense of getting close to the soil. Edward Harrigan's (1845-1911) plays—the best of which were Squatter sovereignty (Theatre Comique, 9 January, 1882), Old Lavender (Theatre Comique, 3 September, 1877), The Mulligan guard ball (Theatre Comique, 9 February, 1879）—were varied in their local colour, as were the farces of Charles Hoyt (1859-1900), who began playwriting with A Bunch of keys (Newark, 13 December, 1883) and created such pieces of the political and social moment as A Parlor Match, A Rag baby, A Texas steer; or, Money makes the Mare go, A trip to Chinatown, A milk White Flag, and A Temperance town.

e bounty provided by section 4,635 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, and in proportion fixed by law in cases where the capturing or destroying vessel was acting independently of the commanding officer of a fleet, squadron, or division, and for the appropriation of $200,000. This application or memorial was presented to the House of Representatives at the second session of the Forty-third Congress, referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs, and no action taken on it until January 9, 1882, when it was again presented to the House of Representatives with like reference. A report was submitted by the committee recommending the passage of the bill. The history of the case, which is relied on in support of this bill, is as follows: When the United States naval forces, on the 21st April, 1861, evacuated the navy-yard at Norfolk, among other vessels abandoned was the forty-gun steam frigate Merrimac. She was sunk near the yard before the abandonment of that place by t
