The boy pianist, Josef Hofmann,i8
still exciting the wonder of New
Yorkers. But ten years old he
stands with he foremost pianists of
all the world. The TXniea says of
his last performance:
- "When the time for improvisation came
fua arose once mora in the little felloe's
mind. 'Alexander Lambert eave him a
theme, a motive from Loheogiin." Ii
was a true theme, consisting of only seven
notes, and not a complete melody, such as
has been given before. Hofmann began
by weaving a little' symphonic movement
with it, reproducing the theme at different
intervals and with changing modulations.
Then he wandered away into a little melo
dy of his own. out of which suddenly
walked, to the .Sut prise of every one, ibe
choru8 of pilgrims from "Tantshauser."
Then the original theme reappeared acd
melted into a passage from the gai den
scene in "Faust." Hofmann appeared to
enjoy the surprise and amusement of the
audience immensely. "He returned to his
theme, mads a new melody out of it in
the major, echoed it in the bass, and put a
clever and effective ending to the whole.
No one, except possibly Schumann, who
made some pregnant remarks on the sub
ject, ever knew the value of an effective
ending better than this marvellcus boy."
Our friend of the ..Goldsboro
Argus must not look in the local
columns of the Stab for its political
opinions. The political writer of
the Stab does not, know what ap

not responsible m aby way for politi
cal views thai may appear in those
columns, especially if they collide
with those heretofore repeatedly en
forced in the political columns of the
Stab.
If Miss Murfree does not look out
Virginia' Miss McClellan will win a
higher and eurer name. Already in
three novels she hae scored two pro
noanced successes. Her "Oblivion"
and "Jean Monteith" are praiaed by
the berft papers in the South and in
the North. The Charleston News
and Courier says of the latter:
"The author ha9 considerable power of
description, which fche uses much more
sparingly and discreetly than her rival, Miss
Murfree, and her dialect," also, is much
ess freely drawn upop. Altogether "Jean
Monteith" is a very creditable piece of
work."

The N. Y. Times says the message

iness men like it. It says "men of
all political creeds commend its
statesmanship." It says:
"Among Democrats, Independents, and
business men of Brooklyn the President's
message excited surprise, pleasure, and en
thusiasm. All praised it and seconded its
conclusions. Even Republicans admired
the courage of the man who had done what
the entire Democratic party had been afraid
to do."
Hugh McCulloch, the eminent Re
publican financier and ex-Secretary
of the Treasury, says that "there is
no doubt that the Tariff needs reduc

Button Ponton and wife Lizzie, also
colored, Ponton is foreman on Col.
Roger Moore's plantation, about four
miles from the city, and Larry Wil-
iams was employed on the place as a
aborer. Ill-feeling had existed be
tween the two men ior some time
past and a fight took place between
them last Saturday evening, during
which Ponton received a slight cut
with a knife in one of his legs. As
the story was told in Court yester
day, Wiliaras, after the fight, about
nine o'clock at night went to Pon
ton's house with an axe and proceed
ed to clean out the establishment.
It didn't appear clearly what became
of Ponton, whether he sought safety
in flight up the chimney or down
in the well. His wife Lizzie, however
rushed in to save her furniture from
destruction and was knocked down
with a blow of -the axe, which cut a
terrible gash on her head over the
eft eye, and maimed two of the fin
gers of her right hand. Amos De
vane, a brother of Button's wife.canie
to the rescue, but was knocked out in
short order, and the work of des
truction was resumed. Williams
smashed the bedstead, demolished
the tables and chairs and broke the
stove all to pieces; after which he
went in search of Button's wife,
swearing that he would kill her. But
the woman was secreted by some of
her neighbors, and the infuriated
darkey, being foiled in further at
tempts upon the Button family and
domicile, went to his own house,
where he was found Sunday morning
by the minions of the law, captured
without a struggle and brought to the
city.
