Talking and Listening.

Do not go into society, young man,
under the solitary impression that to
be entertaining you must talk.
More young gentlemen, and some
older ones, too, make bores of them
selves because they labor under this
impression than from any other cause.
No amount of wit makes man
agreeable who is victim of this i'm
preston, and conscientiously sustains
his convictions by practice.
DR.. Johnson, we are told, entertained
companies by the whole evening-his
mere conversation would not have
done it, had not his reputation already
commanded the unbounded respect OF
his listeners. They felt 1t a privilege
to listen to him.
Unless a young man consider him
self SO much more than DIR. John
son that he can do the same thing
without the advantage of DIR. Johnson's
reputation, he will do we'll to look for
other examples. This is as true in the
case Of individual listeners as of whole
companies.
There are times on a particular sub
ject person may command the con-
tinued interest and attention of q COM
pany, or friend, for half an hour, or
an hour; a narration, for instance, OF
some special topic of more than ordina.
~ interest, and in which the speaker
nus Hhu u AAAOA
nation. These occasions, however,
always suggest themselves. Opportu-
mites are seldom lost: the chief danger
is that we mistake our own interests for
that of the listeners.
The fact that to be a good listener is
as much of an accomplishment as to be
a good talker is generally admitted.
Few gentlemen, however, fully realize
that they are actually entertaining their
friends when they are simply listening
to them with courteous attention. 1t Is
a fact that they are doing so, neverthe-
less. ST entertained her." wrote a
young friend TO us, very delightfully."-,
for half an hour-listening to her &C
count of the plan which she proposed.
There was some humor in thiS-a bit
of satire, perhaps-but there was still
more truth in 1t.
Try to remember, then-and here is
the. secret of snccess-that when you
are listening to q person attenttyely,
hearing, unde rstanding, and thinking
about every word, dPprectdtIng What
he or she Is saying, you are actually
making yourself agreeable to that per
SON. You are not entertaining the
person negatively, but positively.
It Is because SO few young men do
realize this that SO many OF them go
into society with the solitary impress
sion of which we have spoken-thet to
be entertaining one must talk. They
think that the "listening accomplish
ment'' is one of those nice theories OF
etiquette which help to fill up fashion
guide books.
We have seen two people talk to-
gether by the hour, each OF whom gave
was talking, to what he himself should
saw next. In such cases, of course,
each is agreeably entertained-by him.

4 Profitable Haul-A Negro steals
DOmesties, Linens, Sugar and Coffee,
efc.-Part of the Goods Recovered
House, etc.
On Friday last gentleman named An.
drew j. Bass of Wilson county, came TO
the city with his wagon and some produce
for sale He transacted his business and
then made some purchases at the Planters
Store of Mr.. Sax, on Broad street He
purchased bill amounting to some ten OF
fifteen dollars, and was preparing to return
home. He was watched from the store.
however, by some Of the lynx-eyed thieves
who infest the locality of Broad street.
The place where the goods were deposited
was ascertained and spotted. The adroit
thief succeeded in securing the entire bill
Of articles. The police were soon on his
track, however, and captured one of the
thieves with part of the goods in his pos
session. The thief thus captured turned
out 10 be a notorious negro named Lem.
Battle, who was marched of to the lock-
up in short order. The stolen articles re-,
covered were twenty yards of new prints,
six yards of domestic, several linen shirt
bosoms, some gloves, linen, etc. There is
lot of sugar and coffee yet missing, which
has not been recovered. 1t is supposed
that the negro had an sccomplice, or that
he is one Of q gang of thieves who oper-
ate busily in the locality indicated. The
police went with the negro to his house on
Market street, where quite a nrmber of
articles were found which had evidently
been stolen from different persons. Among
the articles is a good new brown coat
worth some $50, quantity of new domes-
tics, fine pillow cases, etc.
Lem. is evidently a thief Of no small
pretensions, and his arrest is an important
one. Any one having lost articles of the
kind mentioned as having been captured
at the negro's house, may learn something
to their advantage at the police station.

THE OPERA.

Opening Night at the Adeiphi Theaier
A Warm Welcome Anticipated for
the Song birds.
Lotti's Grand Opera last night closed a
most brilliant season in Louisville, and
Tomorrow night will be in Nashville for
the first time, at the Adelphi Theater
There is every indication that its week in
Nashville-it will remain mere only a
week-will be but another repetition of its
astonishing success, for there is no amuse-
nent OF which our people are more pas
sionately fond than a good opera. The
press of Louisville is unanimous in ex-
tolling the merits of Signor Lotti's talented
troupe, and the accomplished Marie Fred
erici seems to be fairly idolized.
Faust - is the first of the six grand
operas which We are TO have: and will be
followed by martha" Freizschuet2,"
Magic Flute, ." Fra Diavolo and MAS
saniello." Every arrangement has been
made for the accommodation of packed
houses, and there is no extra charge for
reserved seats-the first applicants, of
course, faring hest in the allotment of the
good places.
The enterprising management Of the
Adelphi Theater certainly deserve every
encouragement in presenting us 80 desira''
BILE an entertainment, and there is no
reason why Lotti's Opera should not prove
a grand success in this city.
