ILL-BRED AND PROVOKING What
the New York Tribune says in what
follows is quite as applicable In
Clarksville as in New York: "If
there is one thing more positively
ill-bred and hard-hearted, than an.
other, 1t Is the habit which many wo-
men and some men have of chatter
ing, not always soto uoce, during
public musical performances. tits pro-
yoking when you have made up your
mind, Mt an expense which you can
not exactly afford, to hear great fid-
der or singer, TO be swind!ed out OF
all the expected pleasure by the CAB
bling of two or three silly creatures
with little ear and less brain. In
Boston, the desperate amateurs now
pass notes to the offenders, which are
polite but pungent, and like this
Arc you aware how loud you are
talking" Or this: Are you aware
that you are telling what should be
family secrets TO those seated near
you?' We have 1t on the authority Of
the Boston Transcript, that in both
instances these little prescriptions
were found etiicacious. We believe
that Americans are the only concert
goers in the world who are guilty OF
this kind Of impoliteness, which may
sometimes be observed even ia prl.
vate circles when some good-natured
person has reluctantly, perhaps,
consented to sing or play"

HE BLIGHT AND CURSE OF SLAVERY -
How curious it is that Northern people
see the 'blight and curse of slavery" in
everything at the South. If there is a
particularly demoralized or thriftless
community or barren spot to be found
anywhere in this section OF the country,
the ever-ready 'blight and curse of
slavery" is at hand to be pumped up for
service by mawkjsh sentimentalism
chat is disgusting as we'll as ridiculous.
An invalid who is seeking rest and resto-
ration in the delightful and invigorating
air of Aiken, s. c.. writes the New York
Post. that in the landscape of this neigh
borhood ''the blight of slavery, whose
evil effects have by no means yet passed
away, finds in the gloom and waste
around it perfect expression" Yet this
same Northerner, who cannot resist the
temptation of harping on the old string,
knows better. for in the next sentence
there lis an admission that "it is not
altogether the result of social system
that the region is barren and unattract-
ive," and the proper reason is given in
the fact "'that the high and dry soil is
the condition of the dry, bracing air that
makes the region peculiarly health
full" In this connection, it would be
pertinent, the Baltimore .Sun thinks, TO
ask how long this :'blight of slavery"
will, in the,eyes of some Northern peo-
pie, cling to the face of the country and
darken the sunny brightness of nature,
and also whether it is this same ''blight
and curse" or some other ''blight" than
that of slavery, which makes the hills of
New England barren and forbidding,
and converts that region into place
where there is neither "productiveness
for labor" nor ''balmy air for invalids'
who need rest?
