CONCERT MONDAY NIaHT.-We have
never witnessed an entertainment i'm
Cedar Falls, of a musical kind, which
gave more general satisfaction to the
audience than the concert of Monday
night, i'm Overman's Hall. The sing
ing of the little folks, which cousti-
tuted the first part of the programme,
was splendid, showing unmistakable
progress made during the two weeks
practice. The after part of the even
ing was occupied by the older people,
with a variety of happy selections,
instrumental and vocal. The several
pieces were all loudly cheered, but
the singing of "Nasby's Lament" by
Rev. Keeler's family, fairly brought
down the house. One rarely sees a
family so unanimously musical.
All who took part did remarkably
well, when we take into account the
short time which was allowed for
practice and preparation. The con-
cert clearly demonstrated the practi-
cability of home musical entertain
ments this winter, which shall better
compensate one for an evening and a
half dollar spent, than the entertain
ments of the best travelling troupes.

GENEROUS BRIDEGRooM.- The Mus

Methodist minister, i'm an adjoining
county, marrying u couple, and after
the twain were made one flesh 1.-THE
pompous groom strobe up to the min
lister and innocently called for the
amount of the bill. The reverend
gentleman modestly replied that he
was not accustomed to making
charges on such occasions. The
groom thanked him for the favor,
but thought it simply a return of
courtesy to proher present, which
he at once magpanimously rendered
i'm the shape of huge plug of navy
tobacco. AS the minister does not
chew. he carries the plug with him
and deals 1T out to his especial friends,

OUR PUBLIC HALL.-We do not
believe there is q town i'm the State of
Iowa. of the population of Cedar
Falls, that has so uninviting a pub
lie hall. 1t seems superfluous for us
to speak of it, for Ii must be apparent
to every one that the hall in it's
present condition Is more appropri-
ate for a prison pen than room i'm
which to assemble our intelligent
public audiences. With a little re-
pairing it might be put in very re-
spectacle shape. We do not know
whose duty IL Is To make this iu.-
provement and therefore do not know
who we are hitting, but i'm behalf o;
the community, We say it is a shame
and we believe IL must of necessity
eventually damage our town. A
Public Hall should be Que of the
most attractive audience rooms In
the city. We believe this matter
has been overlooked and neglected,
the latter we are certain of. We
trust that word to the wise will
have its desired effect.

Grant and Cotton.

1t turns out that Grant kept an eye to
business, as well as to military success, in
his operations in the south during the war.
In case now pending in the circuit court
at Memphis, Tennessee, arising out of the
operations of the cotton spectators who fol-
lowed Grants army through Mississippi
1t was proven by several witnesses that
when planters would not accept the prices
offered by the army cormorants for their
cotton
1t was Immediately confscated by the
army qartermasters, and that
Grant himself was concerned in these
transactions, and further, that
Grant received portion of the plumber
thus wrun9 from the planters, as his reward
for conniving at such policy, and that
Grant received per centage on all the
cotton purchased" under such eircumstan
ces by his cotton specializing contederates.
