RALEIGH. N? C.
"The Old Master. Some days ago
our readers will remember that a cor
respondent in speaking of the artistic
ability of our fellow-citizen W. Cail
Brown Esq., as a portrait painter, allu
ded in rather disparaging terms to the
old masters.'' We were rather as
tounded at the boldness of our corres
pondent and fairly trembled at temeri
ty, but in a recent number of Watson's
Art Journal (a high authority) we find
hi3 views substantiated. We copy the
following from the Jovrnal .
"We must admit we are not deep
enough m metaphysics to say whether
taste and common sense are quite in
compatibly but we are certain that
those who wish to cultivate a
good tuste would do well to
give common sense fair play. We ap
piy our rremartc particularly to the hne
arts.. Send twenty persons of tolerably
goodjiatural capacitv into an exhibi
tion room, and eighteen of them; if they
decide according to their direct im
pressions, will judge correctly coming
to the same conclusion as to what is
good or lad,' aSv the most experienced
connoisseur. This doctrine. . we are
atraid, will give great offence to the
high-priests of the Holy order of pic-
tureMteffiling. With tuem painting is
an irreproachable mystery ; make it
once amenable to vulgarvscrutiny, and
the plain evidence ot eyes, and what
becomes ot the glorious host of Ra
phaels, Tjtians, Correggios, etc., which,
irom time td 'time ris on the aston
ished town", redole-nt of varnish, dirt,
asphaUuiu,tpu,c'hlng and trickery, and
being, lor trie most part, vile copies, or.
vuer imitations ot the masters whose
names they bear ?
1 hose who come to see them, fright
ened by such names, and still more
frightened at hearing that those august
performances are valued at from ten to
t wenty thousand dollars each, more or
less, walk away, concluding that paint
ing is a fine thing, or else who would
give so much money for it ?' But, at
the sarr e time, being conscious at what
they have seen has given them more
disgust than pleasure, they conclude
that the art can only be understood by
the professional initiated. Flattering
opinions, to.o, to modern art, are some
times caught updrom such source?, and
modern pictures are conceived to Le
destitute of merit, becanse they are
frtsh and agreeable, and bear no resem
blance to black, heavy, fine old painb
ings. :. : -. .-. - ." " - ::,

The Cal Wagner troupe have just
completed a most successful Southern
-oafl1 fudging trom the notices of the
press where they have performed. We
take the following from the Savannah
News :
I o-m o r r o vv , W e o n esilay
evening, Cal Wagner's celebrated
corkist begin a two nights' engagement
at the
people
1 heatre, and we are sure our
will hail their return with
delight.
The troupe is even 1 trger than on its
Christmas visit to our city, and the
orchestra, which wa9 capita' before, has
been strengthened and improved

joists in America, and late ol Manning's
Minstrels, and Cancros3 & Daxv's, f
Pniladelphia, joins the company here,
and will occupy the left end position
of bone-man besides appearing in his
specialtits.
Of Mr. Charles Hey wood.- another
recent accession to the troupe, the
Mobile Register of a late date critically
says :
lhe nyht bower ot the troupe is
Charles Hey wood, the soprano character
singer. His voice is a truly remarkable
organ, combining rare power, truth and
flexibility, and a range rare in sopranos,
It is, besides, admirably controlled, and
used with discretion and effect worthy
of far higher surroundings. "I hou art
so near and vet so far,'' was admirably
sung wih just enough comic power to
make it enjoyable, without marring it ;
and with enough bass introduction to
show the compass or the voice. On the
richly deserved encore, ' W hen the Swal
lows "was given in German with deli
cacy and feeling, the bounds ot comedy
never being overstepped tar enough to
hurt tlie true musical effect.'.-' We can
justly credit Mr. Heywood, with .being
the best in his line ever heard on the
Mobile staee : and we can recall no one
elsewhere who combines more. With
' .
eouul lacilit.v as Leon, and an orgun
quite as good as that "wonder's" in its
best day Mr Heywood is carelui to
remember those nronrieties that the
other delights in ''chucking in de
gut-
ter." .

WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 9. 1873.
Sewlkq on , Buttons. On several
occasions we hve re-produced articles
from the Danbury (Conn.) News, which
we have reason to know were accepta
ble to our readersvand now we give one
with the aboye caption tully equal to
any ot its predecessors :
"It 13 bad enough to see a bachelor
sew on a button, but he is the embodi
ment ot grace- alongside of a married
man. Necessity has compelled experi
ence in the case of the former, but the
latter has alwarvs depended upon some
one else for this service, and fortunately,
lor tbesake ot society, it is rarely he is
obliged to iesrt to the needle himself.
Sometimes the patient wife scalds
her right band, or runs a sliver under
the nail of the index finger of that
hind, and Jt is then the, man
c. inches the jpeedle around th& neck,
and forgettirfg to tie a 1 knot in the
thread, commences to put on the button..
It is always iri the morning, and from
five to twent-tainateaafter he is ex-
ptced to be down in the street. He
lays the button exactly on the site of its
predecessor, and pushes the . needle
through one eye, and carefully draws
the thread after, leaving about three
inches of it sticking up tor the lee way.
He says to himself; " Weil, if women
don't have the easiest time I ever see."
Then he comes back the other way, and
gets the needle through the cloth .well
enough, and lays himself out to find the
eye, but in suite of a great deal of
patient jobbing, the needle point per
sists in bucking against the solid part
of that button, aud finally, when he
loses patience, his finger catches the
thread, and that three inches he had left
to hold the 'button slips through ' the
eye in a twinkling, and the button rolls
leisurely across the floor. He picks it
up without a single remark, out
bt respect tor his children and
makes another attempt to fasten it.
This time when coming back with the
needle he keeps both the thread ,and
button tiom slipping by covering them
with his thumb and it is out of regard
for that part of njm that he feels around
for ttn eye in a very careful and judi
cious manner, but eventually losing his
philosophy as the search becomes more
and more hopeless, he falls to jobbing
about in a loose manner, and it Is
just then the needle finds the opening,
and comes up through the button and
part way through bis thumb with a
celerity that no human ingenuity can
guard against. Then he lays down the
things, with a few familiar quotations,
and presses the injured hand between
his knee?, and then holds it under the
other arm, and finally jams it into his
mouth; and all the while prances about
the floor, and ,; calls upon heaven and
eaitn to witness uiat there has never
been anything like it since the world
was creatad. and howls, and whistles,
and moans, and sobs. After a while he
calms down, and puts on his pants, and
fastens them with a stick, and goes to
his business a changed man."
The Halifax and Scotland Neck
Railroad. A large raliroad meeting
was held in the town of Scotland Neck
an Saturday last: for the purpose of de
ciding the question as to whether the
proposed load should be run to Enfield
or Halifax. R-. H. Smith, Esq., was
calleu to the chair. The meeting was
addressed bv Hon. Ed. Conigland and
Col. Walter Clark, delegates from the
town of Halifax, advocating that point
as the .upper terminus- of the road.
Spier Whitaker nnd D. Bond, Esq?
replied on the part of the Comraitteu
sent from Eofield in favor of that town.
The meeting was addressed by W. H.
Smith, E-q, Capt. W. H. Kitchen, and
others. The meeting voted in favor of
makirg Halifax the terminus, and sub
scribed $23 000 to the enterprise.
As announced in our dispatches yes
terday morning, the stockholders met
at Halifax on Monday and organise ! by
the election of a Uoarcl ol Directors and
President. The road is to be run "(i
miles in length, extending from Hill's
Ferry, on the Roanoke, to the town of
Halifax,' and it" is' presumed that it will
costin.the neighborhood of $200,000. It
will open up a magnificent country, and
we'ui e glad to itarn that the people along
the proposed line are in earnest in the
matter. The character ot the officers elec
ted give evidence 'of an intention to go
ahead with the work, aud we doubt not
but that in twelve months the whistle
of the iron horse will bn .heard in the
Scotland Neck section. Tne county o
Halifax will, on the loth of May, vote
upon the proposition to subscnbe
$100,000 to tlic'enterpme.

that merchants, jewellers, grocers, drug

The Orphajs Asylum. At the Ma

Roads, on the Raleigh and Augusta Aii-
ine last Sabbath, after the sermon was
over, Rev. Mr. Riffle, addressed the au
dience present on the importance of
ending aid to the Orphan Asylum of
Oxford.
A subscription was raised and over
$28 added to the fund from thisjsmall
audience. Let our ministers everywhere
imitate the worthy example of Rev. Mr
Riffle, and from time to time take
up collections for the support of our
poor orphaus. Mr. Mills, ia assiduously
at work collecting these poor unfortun
ates and taking them to the Asylum.
Now let 'us by even small contributions
endeavor to educate and make them
comfortable.
The Streets. Why is it that our
Street Commissioner will allow that
dangerous breach in the side walk, be-
ween-JrC Palmer's Jewelry store and
Carmer's Drug store, to go unrepaired.
The sidewalk opposite the city park,
on West Hargett street, is also impassa
ble, and a little work on it would great-
y oblige a large number of taxpayers
iving beyond this locality.
