.The making of wooden shoes is
quite an industry in New York.
There is no demand, however, for

The United States Senators paid
$140 for street car tickets during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1880. ami
the people had to foot the bill. Sure

against the stationary account!
The ctepth of a sea about six miles
deep is reduced by G-.20 feet by com

The German Empress, it is said, is
forming a "League for the Preser-
vatlon of Good Habits'7 among Prus
sian ladies. The London ladies are ;
doing better than this. They are!
entirely discarding their old habits j
good or bad, and are riding strad

The engagement of Miss Mary
Anderson to Mr. De Navarro has
been formerly announced in letters
received on this side of the water
from the gentleman. They . will
probably be married early .in the
Summer and Mrs. Be Navarro will
never be seen on the stage again.
Representative W. L. Wilson, of
West Virginia, has no intention of
retiring from Congress to accept the
presidency of the State University
of Missouri. Tempting offers from
a financial standpoint were made to
Mr. Wilson to make liiui give up his
legislative life in exchange for the
professional, but he would rather be
a prominent Congressman than a
college president. .

It is said that a large proportion
of the plumes worn by the ladies
who attend the Queen's drawing
rooms are hired from a shop which
makes a business of- renting out
plumes. The feathers are worth
from four to ten dollars, and the
rent of them is two dollars and a
half for each occasion. Our "plumed
knight" thus has a new source of
supply.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., formerly
of this. State, but now pastor of the
Twepty-third Street Baptist Church
in New York, leatored in Boston on
Monday night, and the New York
Herald publishes a very interesting
report of some of the plain truths
he told there. There is a misprint,
however, in "the article. It should
be South Carolina instead of North
Carolina. We publish herewith an
extract:
Mr. Dixon said that the Southern
question was seen through a mi mere.
on account of the way in which the
political, the educational, the liter
ary, the 'tourist; the reform, the
newspaper, the sectional, the here
ditary and the all round steel plat
ed quacks and the'quacks who had
failed at everything else befogged
the question for selGsh ends.
"In only two States, North Caro
lina and Mississippi, is the negro in
the majority. The educational test
in the former State disfranchished
seven-eighths of them. The intelli
gent, powerful classes find ways to
accomplish their purposes,"' said
Mr. Dixon; and he pointed Boston
ians to the fact that though this is a
Detuocmtio city by 8,000 majoritj-,
Mr. Hart was elected Mayor last De
cember by 2,000. There had been
outrages in the South and their per
petrators should hang for them; but
the whole people should not be in
dicted; The Southern negroes poll

We are glad to know that Hon.
I Samuel J. Randall has improved so
much that he is abie to atiend to his
correspondence now. He is sorely
needed now in the House, nearly as
much so as when in the dark days
of reconstruction he battled almost
unaided against the encroachment
of the centralizers and in defence of
constitutional liberty.
The Democrats are greatly pleas -od
with the success in the elections
held in Ohio on Monday. An un
usually largo vote for Spring elec
tions was polled. It was almost a
clear sweep in the Northwest, where
the Republicans putin some of their
mightiest effort?. The Herald cor
respondent looks upon the result as
an endorsement of Campbell and
Hrice and as evidence that the
Huckeye State is fast becoming
thoroughly and reliably Democratic.

The Concert Last Night.
The Opera House has never yet
t helJ
a more cultured anti a more
.'appreciative audience than that a?H
sembied last uisht at the Clascal
Concert, given under the auspices of
the ladies of the First Baptist
Church. The stage setting was. very
having been
: , A : .
i selected, anu me smire iiNtu was
! profusely ornamented with llowers
i ami plauts, the work, bv the wav.
of Mrs. S. H. Hurtt.
The concert itself was an artistic
gem. That is what we have been
told it was and by those capable of
formulating: an opinion on the sub
ject. For ourself we candidly con
fess that it was somewhat beyond us.
It is only a cultured musical ear
that can appreciate properly such
things. This is not meant as in any
way a criticism upon a truly delight
fuf and meritorious entertainment,
one which in point of art would
have been a credit to any musical
community in any part of the world,
but is merely the confession of igno
ranee of one who stands without
the temple doors and would fain en
ter in, but cannot, because Nature
lia3 disbarred nun. it is an
honest confession, at all events,
and we commend it to some
'"ht01 ana
who profess great del
great apxreciation of things which
are. by the wav, as far above and
beyond their comprehension as ours
We have seen and noted these things
previously. We have heard the "di
vine songstress" tear the chromatic
scale all to pieces and then, when
an encore was called for, have heard
the full, rich, sweet voice rise softly
in the cadences of "Suwanee River"
and in this draw forth a tumult of
applause that the most famous aria
in the world could never have called
out. Such a thing as this proves
two facts;-it proves that there is
more or less of the divine afflatus of
music in every man's make-up and
it proves that it is only the select
few, who have been initiated into
its mysteries, who can understand
and appreciate the higher phases of
the glorious world of soft and beau
tiful harmonies.
But last night's concert was a fine
thing; as we said above, we have
been assured of this fact by those
on whose judgment we can confi
dently rely. The programme had
evidently been selected with great
care and the rehearsals had brought
almost perfection in tone and move
ment. Every feature of the pro
gramme was beautifully and exquis
itelvl rendered and everv aDnear-
ance was the signal for liberal ap
plause and a. hearty encore. We
will not attempt to follow the pro-
gramme in its details, xne ladies
taking part, in tne order in which
they appeared, were Mrs. Thorburn,
Mrs. .Jenkins, Miss Gabrielle De-
Rosset and Mrs, Geo. Welch, and
the gentlemen were Mr. E. P. Boat-
wnght, Prof. Herndon, Mr. Nathan
Mayer, Mr. Brooke French, Mr. Geo.
P. Welch and Prof. GreenewaUJ.
