crossed the mountains and Joined the army. The
hapgiEg and Imprisonment of Union men was
advocated and justified, both by Sperry and his
mprderous cowardly and unprincipled contri-
butors. If the court have nothing against this
Rebel beast, and he will remsin long enough in
East Tennessee to let the hundreds that he has
abused and injured know that he is atliberty, he
will find individuals who have much against
him."

Brownlow is 'hard she'll" He says those

traitors and an excuse for treason would do well
to pass our Wlsig by and select some soft shell

1--WE doubt the policy, at least for few years
TO come, Of appropriating large sums OF money
Tor foreign missions. The war has demorallzed
our whole country, end our best portions OF ter
ritory are overrun with thieves and cutthroats
who need reform even more than the heathen
masses Of China, Japan, or Persia. Many OF the
Protestant preachers, especially in the south,
ought to have pous missionaries among them,
to convince them Of the sin of lying, swearing,
and drunkenness. Let us use our funds at nome,
until our own people are reformed, and they
will appreciate our calls for help for the degraded
worshippers OF idols in foreign lands"

ACADEMY OF MusIo.-One of the mos, deliqhtiul
and successful operas Of tho season was Fra
DidvoIo, last evening" Aubers operas were all
written in French. They have ali the spirit OF the
French STYLE but the subject of Fra DiaooIo being
essentially Italian, It has made an admirable opera

usual admirable method; his voice was not In very
good order until the second act of the opera.
Heroic opera suits his voice and style best, still he
was most satisfactory bandit so that all felt sorry

Miss KELLOGG has acquired great stage case, aclng
with much intelligence and grace. Her voice, OF
course is Thin but her Execution and style are both
excellent She Yves quite charming a. "Zorhna."
Both she and the tenor were encored in the aria
"Guardste nilla rocca," as was also MazzoliDi.
Mime FIcher, who was "LadY Allcash," has really
no voice at all. she "a perfectly inaudible.
The brigands were capltal-full of cRaracteristc
fun; but the palm OF vhe evening came to Signor
Behrt who toeIr Lord Allcash" and kept the house
in roar by his grotesgue representation of "Mi'

stupadltv and his concert were delightful No one
would have suspected the majestic ellini of srch
comic talent though the Italians are capital bEfo
actors The audience appeared to enjoy excessiv ey
the Uell.known music. Despite all the progress oi
music, the pEellc will always prefer melody to har
mony, and love best the opera 'that has much

This evening BTRaai will be given-Ferdls great
dramatic work, of which the music is well known
and can therefore be appreciated by all. signoru

The author of Sheridan and his CAM
paigns" narrates the following anecdote of
Gen. Sheridan
The general dismounted here, at the
fence Of stiff old gentleman, who was
setting on his high piazza and scowling
severely as we rode up. He was typi-
cal souiherner of fifty years; his long,
gray hair fell over the collar Of his coat
behind his ears he was arrayed in the
swallow-tail of bygone mode, buff lin
en- vest, cut low, and nankeen pantaloons
springing far over the foot, that was neat
ly encased in morocco slippers bristling
shirt-frill adorned his bosom, and from the
embrasure of his war-like collar he shot
defiant glances at us as we clattered up
the walk to his house. Prince Edward
Court House was a stranger to war, and
our indignant friend was looking now for
the first time on like Of us, and certainly
he did not seem to like our looks. He
bowed in dignifed way to the general,
3 who bobbed at him carelessly, and sat
down on step, drew out his inevitable
map lighted fresh cigar, and asked our
host i any q less troops had been seen
about hers to-day So" he answered,
q Gan trs3T seq ast one have been
seen BY me, ( piIl 4ay sc; but if have
seea arg l saoald fse Z my duty to re-
tpss lp rea4f ID gcui ~ sstion. cannot
glge you any ascFfna'ie to the disadvan-
tage OF Lee. ....- speech clothed in
unexceptionable diction, which. no doubt
had been awaiting us from the time we
tied our horses at the gate, missed fire
badly. 1t was very patriotic and all that;
but the general was not in humor to drop
patriotism just then, SO he only gave
soft whistle Of surprise, and returned to
the attack unscathed. How far is it to
Buffalo River 2" "Sir, / don't know"
The devil you don't |" How long have
you lived here7 All my life" Very
WELL sir, it is time you did know. Cap
tain, put this gentleman in charge of
guard, and when we move, walk him down
to Buffalo River, and show it TO him.
And so he was marched off, leaving us
savage glance at parting; and that eve
ming tramped FIVE miles away from home
to look at river which was as familiar to
him as his own family. Doubtless to this
day he regales the neighbors with the
story Of this insult that was put upon him,
and still brings up his children in the
faith for whose dogmas he suffered.
Doubtless, too, he considers Gen. Sheri-
dan perfect gentleman.

SIDNEY Smiths COMMON SENSE
Never give way TO melancholy; resist
it steadily, for the habit will encroach. ]
once gave lady two and twenty receipts
against melancholy. One was a bright
fire another to remember all the pleasant
things said 10 and OF her; another to keep
box ofsugar plums on the chimney piece,
and kettle simmering on the hob.
Never teach false morality. How
absurd to tell girls that beauty is of no
vaIue--becoming dress of no use Beauty
is Of value; her whole prosperity and
happiness in life may often depend on a
new gown o. a becoming bonnet, and if she
has five grains of common sense she will
find this out. The great thing is to teach
her their just value, and that there must
be something better under bonnet than
a pretty face for real happiness. But
never sacrifice truth. am convinced that
digestion is the great secret Of life; and
that character, talents, virtues aud quail
ties are powerfully affected by beef NUT
