A MUSICAL TREAT.-The violin duet
to be performed by Miss Hirschl and Mr..
Straseer, tomorrow night. Is one Of the best
compositions of that talented musical artistic
and composer, Mr.. Chas Dancls, Professor at
the Musical Academy in Paris. and was by
him dedicated to Maysadsr. one Of the best
violin players Of Europe. 1t is very brilliant.
and extremely difficult to perform correctly.
1t is the gem Of the programme.
County INDEBTEDNEss.-W do not
recollect the time when there were as few
county warrants out as at the present. At the
meeting Of the Board of Supervisors the other
dav the report on finance showed that only
a ,45377 in warrants were in circulation, and
all the bills allowed by the board will not
probably increase the sum to more than g..
5OO These will disappear as fast as possible.
Mr. Mast makes 1t point to redeem all war.
rants presented at his desk when he possibly
can do so This is right. There is no reason
why an order on the Treasury Of the county Of
Scott should not be worth hundred cents on
the dollar. The day is not far distant when
such will be the case, we predict.
A Few WQRDs TO THE EDITOR OF
morning you took occasion to misrepresent and
malien the reporter Of the DEMoCRAT News
for what you term mean and "nativistic" ex-
pressions in our article upon the celebration at
Thalia Garden. Now, Mr.. Editor, we made
use Of no expressions in that article which We
at all regret. We told the truth. and nothing
more. We visited Thalia Garden with view
of obtaining such information as would enable
US to give . complimentary and satifactory
report of the entertainment. We enquired Of
several psrsons, "Who shall We 60 to for infor.
nation p and the universal reply was. "Mr.
Weideman." We went TO Nj. Weideman, and
he gave us an uncourteous, uncivil reply.
which at once convinced 40 that the man
never had any cultivation, and that the gen.
tleman dwelt not In his composition. We then
questioned the teachers, but they in . very
short and crusty manner informed us that
time was too precious to waets on ~. Find
Ing it impossible to gain the desired ioforma.
tion, We gave up the pursuit in disgust. You
appear to think We offended your "honored
teachers" No such intent was dreamed Of
We really thought they might have spared .
brief moment to give No what little informa.
ton We required, but in our article no offence
was intended. For Mr.. Weideman's conduct
We shall not consent to accept any apology.
He was in his o'cn hsase; ws paid our admis.
sion the same - others paid, and are under no
pseuniary obligations to him. We asked him
. civil question, and got an uncivil reply,
We told the public Why vs did not furnish
the promised report ofshs day's proeeedines
and II vs hurt Weideman's feelings in giving
the explanation. he will have to grin and bsa,
it-it can't be helped; We shsn't take back ,
word.
With NJ. fischer ws have no controversy
We think be vas hard up for "local." or b.
