Mr. Henry George, in a speech re garding "the protection hereay," as he styled it, said "the idea of the protectionist that labor was a weak thing, needing cuddling and artifi cial support, was an insulting re: flection. All that labor wanted was absolute freedom." Vhen Mrs. Cleveland was in At lanta, little Janie ' Speer, of La Grange, Ga, sent her a bouquet. When Mrs. Cleveland returned home she sent to Janie her autograph on a card bearing a steel engraving of the executive mansion, 'and accom panied it with a very pretty note. j . , It is told of an, Ex-Confederate officer that at onetime while he was leading a sudden and desperate charge against a Yankee battery he suddenly lookeklback and observing the reluctance of his men to 1 ad bailee, exclaimed: 'What in the 1 is the matter with you fellows? Do you expect to live forever?" In the House of Representatives this week some light was thrown on the long-neglected French spoliation claims. The amount involved in them has been variously estimated at from $9,OOQ,000 to $30,000,000. Ac cording to the best estimate Hon. y- Dibble could make, the amount involved was about $10,000,000.

We have' always maintained that the musical talent of this city was fully equal to the vocal or instrumental demands of any of the minor Operas, and the entire success of last night's 'enter tainuent fully substantiated our as sertion. The principal characters in the Opera were taken as follows. "Gen. Knickerbocker," one of the old-time Knickerbockers E. P. Boatwright; 'A1 viri Barry,"a young ! Wall street broker, afterwards A Great Tycoon, H. M. Eiuer son, Rufus Ready," Alviu's col lege friend, afterwards GuhV Gull, J. N. Anderson; "Lortl Dol phin," suitor for the hand of Violet, J. D. Nutt: Custom House Officers. W. A. Dick,U. M. Robiuson; VMont gomery," Knickerbockers footman W. A. Dick; '-Violet," Knickerbock er s daugliter, alter wards Lattle Tycoon, Miss Mary Lithe Kenan; "Dolly Dimple," Violet's school friend, Miss Carrie Myers; "Miss Hurricane," chaperone to tourist maidens, Miss Annie DeRosset. We wish that time and space would permit us to speak in full, of the merits of all the characters, - but must content ourselves with saying that all did exceedingly well, and such was the unanimous verdict of all who had the pleasure of listen ing to them. The voices were all in perfect tune and those of the ladies were especially pure, s weet and mus ical. The choruses were well sus tained and were given with precis ion and nne effect, in fact tne. en tire performance was a triumph of which all the participants should feel proud, and our people should also feel the same spirit of pride to know that such talent abounds at our very doors, and that our" music loving citizens may have a first class musical entertainment at almostany time without being compelled to wait until some company of profes sionals come here from abroad to entertain them, btjit can call with safety upon our home talent for that purpose. " :?.' loo mucn credit cannot be given to Mrs. Gaston Meares, who is one of the best musicians in the cityt and other ladies for their efforts in arranging and conducting the vo calists to such .a splendid result. They deserve more than a fair share of the credit of the occasion. The orchestra was under the direction of Prof I. L. Greenewald, which is sufficient evidence of the success of the instrumental part of the pro gramme. Finest shoes for ladies wear in the citv at French & Sons. t Au Afflicted Family. , Our earnest sympathy, and condo lence are extended to Mr. Joseph C. Pittman, in the sad bereavemeut which he has sustained in tlie death of his wife and two' infant (twin) children. Mr. Pittman is a well known printer of this city, living on the corner of Fourth andv Swann streets. One of the children died on Wednesday last aud the mother aud the other babe died yesterday. Tlie fuueral of the mother and her two babes took place at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Pittmaii was 43 years of age. She was the mother of live other children, who, with her husband survive her. ' Musical. The December number of theVu ical Herald has been received. We have often said that this is the ; best musical Publication in the United States, and there is . nothing con tained in the present number jto cause us to change , our opinion. The questions and aris ers to cor respondents in each number are well worth the price of subscription and afford a good musical education tothose'who study them closely and intelligently. There are two pieces of Christmas music in ' this number - hich are far better than some of the effusions we have seen which were intended for the Christmas festivities. . . : 50 dozen all wool flannel shirts, in all shades and colors for men and boys, from 75 cents and upwards, atvthfr.

Some of the little ones God bless them have asked us whether Santa Claus would come to-night, or to morrow night. We don't know positively but think he will come just after to-morrow's midnight. He never comes until after midnight, and if he comes to-night he wouid infringe upon Sunday, which is a thing the good old gentleman never does. As Christmas will be cele brated on Monday,1 he will probably come "just after midnight to-mor. row. The Opera House. The.Kate Bensberg English' Opera Company will present Flotqwvs ope ra of L'Onibra at tlie Opera House here next Monday night. Miss Bens berg, the prima donna of the com pany, is a" native of St. Louis and studied music ith the best master of this country and Europe. She was the leading soprano in Carl Ro sa's celebrated English Opera Com ¬ pany and ; had the same position with the American v Opera Company in this country during its first sea son, Miss Louise Enge I, contralto, is an excelent vocalists as are also Mr. Ross Davis.' tenor, and Mr. Ed. Knight, basso. They are conducted by Mr. Callos A. Serrano, and all are first rate singers. Miss Bens berg has a fine soprano voice, beau tifully'mbdulated and very flexible and withal ia a much better actress than most prima donnas on the stage. The costumes are strikingly handsome and the stage settings will be all that can be desired. " From pown South. (Special Correspondence. BiRMKfOHAM, Ala., Dec. 22, 1887.
