matter Of late years, and it Is pretty
generally conceded, that man includ-

is made up--aot only in part, but in
whole, Of the following characteristic
qualities: eupidity 2 parts, stupidity
8 parts, Vanity 4 parts, rascality 7
parts, ingratitude 9 parts, aversion to
any kind Of healthful exercise or occu-
patton II parts, and disposition to
dance without paying the fiddler
enough to make up the 100. Or as
the Esculapean would say, quantum
sufIcit. Whenever that learned body

all manner Of schemes are devised to
get the very last cent Of the 81 per
dime out Of them and the uuinitiated
are fortunate indeed, if they have
enough left, on the last warrant, to pay
their way back where they came from.
We do not complain of the fact, but
only call attention to it, in order to
make few careless remarks on the
subject in hand. The same thing
would be done if the Capitol were at
Pompeii or Port Hudson, and every
body knows it, who knows any thing o

Another imposition is practieed by
landlords. Previous to the session,

stiuurners, who come to look for
something to turn up on the pass

are the members imposed upon. They

strangers and Balls to which the

to furnish but little time for citizens

than two hundred and fifty persons.
This is the fault Of our own citizens

that will supply the want, until some
of our capitalists can see the profit Of
an investment in a temple dedicated
exclusively to the drama.
The drama is the hand maid of
MISUNDERSTANDING all rant
and kant to the contrary.
We feel fully satisfied that there is
not an intelligent citizen in this com
mnnity who does not regret the neees-
sity of having to cramp such artists as
shall appear before us tonight into the
narrow contracted room where they
will appear.
The worthy inheritor of the fame,
of the Paganiui will appear before us
tonight. Truely has it been said of
him.
He appears at once to be en- rap
D0ri. to attract to himself with mes
merle force the kindest and most
earnest feelings of his listners OF
course this is, in great degree, the
effect Of his wonderful genius, yet we
cannot believe that even Paganini
produced such emo'ions-wiid, start
linz aud weird, he half terrified while
he astonished. Ole Bull, when led
among the rocks and roaring torrents
IF Norway, was equally inspired with
the poetry and grand nature OF his
own Scandinavia, while he has high
moral sense entirely unknown to the
erratic Italian. Paganlni's violin was
said to be possessed by the unquiet
soul Of his murdered brother-in that
of Ole Bull lives spirit which sings
ever of the benevolent love and glori-
Gus deeds.
Since the above was in type, we
learn the concert will be given in the
Hall Of the House of Representatives.
