We copied the card Of Mr.. BAR
NUN, from Pittsburgh papef, yesler-
day, concerning the insult to JENNY
LIND at her concert in that city, and
her refusal TO sing the second time in
that place. Below is a paragraph
from the Pittsburgh Post:
Gin. Com.
We were mortified to learn that
on Friday night this angel OF good
ness was most grossly insulted oJ i
rufian crowd, who while the concert
was going on, dashed in stones at
the window Of her dressing room
and applied TO her, that she might
hear them, the most shocking and
degrading epithets. And when the
Concert was over, the crowd, which
was immense, who had assembled
in front Of the building, appeared
determined not TO leave until they
would see her. After all the visiters
had departed il still waited, (the car
riage being there, ready to take her
TO the Monongahela House, but she
was so much alarmed and terrified at
what had already occurred that she
could not think of coming out while
the crowd remained. and it looked
very much as il she would be detain-
ed all night, when by some means
or other, as the story goes, an hon.
est, good hearted drayman, by the
name Of keating, got into the loom
and told her that if she would en-
trust herself to his care he would as
sure her that she would get home
safe. She listened TO him and con-
fided in his integrity. She accom-
panied him, followed by some Of her
troupe, we suppose, out the back
way, and succeeded in making good
her retreat before the crowd was
aware Of her departure.

A REcULAR BRANDy-SMAsHER

A REGULAR BRANDY SMAsHER.--
An English paper says: "The late
Mr.. Joshua Dixon, OF Downtown,
in Wiltshire, who in 1901 died sud-
denly at the age of a hundred and
three, had all Of his life been a re-
markable free liver. According TO
his own calculation. he had consumed
two thousand gallons of brandy,
without taking into account variety
OF other kinds Of liquor. He more
over enjoyed his faculties to the last.
He was twice married; and Of his
numerous offspring by both wives
the Oldest had died at the age of
seventy,while the youngest was only
eighteen at her fathers death. Had
this man praciised the temperance OF
some patriarchs, he might probably
have attained the age of a hundred

The following is an extract from
a letter written by this gentleman,
on the subject Of establishing line
oil steamers from Norfolk, Va, to
Rio. After noticing the fact ihatthe
North had done the carrying trade
for Virginia, he continues:
