= The Chatauque Democrat is responsible
for the following well told anecdote ofone of our
most celebrated musicians -
While travelling in Western New York, said
he, put up at the principal hotel of a thriving
village, sof sumo two thousand inhabitants, and
wishing an early opportunity ofinroducing my
self and instruments to public notice, through the
kindness ola friend, ! had half score Of the lea
ding citizens invited to my room. after a few
words ofintroduction, and casual glance at the
group, made up my mind that the intelligence
and respectability Of the company would warrant
an extra effort on my part, and | proceeded to
lay myself out acc ordingly.
After playing Eve or six of my best pieces on
q favorite instrument and in my best style, and
winding upby playing universal favorite which
seldom failed to bring down the house, and give
me and my instruments ready passport to pub
lie favor, Istraigh,ened mysif up with an air Of
conscious triumph, drew out my cambria, and
commenced hopping up the large globules OF
preparation my extra effort had induced, while
| waiting to see whether should be greeted with
a round Of applause or vote Of thanks.
Just fancy, if you can, how the cold chills
ran over me, when one of the company, having
the air ola leader in matters Of taste, stepping
forward and giving my pet instrument a rather
unceremonious punch with his cane, addressed
me as follows
"Say, stranger! can you play tunes on tina,
thing
| The shock which this question gave me
closed the pores Of my skin so quickly that
was obliged TO take my bed with most yio-
lent cold. My room in that hotel was vacated

ments on this subject, in another column, from

ing picture of national prosperity. 1t will b.
perceived that the imports of the fiscal year
just closed, at the port of New York the grea
centre OF importation have increased to til.
large amount Of $40, 900 900, as compared will
those OF the previous fiscal year. The revenus
received during the last fiscal year at the sam,
port has increased in a still larger propo ton
At the same time the export Of specie has di.
minished, being about 10000, 900 less for III,

have increased, SO as 10 nearly balance, accord

IF our friends over in Galena, in making
statements relative 10 the trade Of Dubuque
would consult facts and justice more and theil
envious feelings less, they would be more likely
to approximate the truth. In the above state
ment, the Gazette has put down the shipments
Of lead from Dubuque, Potosi, Cassvile, and
Buena Vista, for the month Of June Of the
current year, at 1926 pigs A proper regard
for truth would have prevented so gross mis-
statement The shipments from Dubuque,
alone, for the month Of June, amounted to 81,
6l3 pigs--this statement can be verified. Thus,
the amount shipped from one of the four towns,
named by the Gazette, is more than double what
it allows to all Of them.
1t must be great relief to the sore feelings
Of our neighbors, TO misrepresent things in this
fashion. Galena, one would suppose from what
her lovers say of her, ought to be very slightly
affected with jealousy Of city like Dubuque.
She is SO enterprsing, so prosperous, so well
content with her present, and so confident OF
her future that it would seem unnecessary for
ner 70 oepTeClaie the capacities VI Ae' S'S.s1
city. But, when mis- statement, 80 inc xcusable
as the above, is put forth by one of her journals,
the conclusion is forced that she rather doubts
her resources, that she is not at all pleased with
her present appearances, and despairs of her
future. Very well: we are so well pleased with
what Dubuque is, and reliant of what she
will be-, that these jealous and unfair representa-
tons to her disparagement. cause us small an
noyance. and we can we'll afford to let them
pass with slight animadversion.
