TITS NOT YOUR BUSINESS WHY.

Would you like 10 know the secrets
OF your noighbor's house anu liieY
How he lives or how he doesn't,
And Just how he treats his wife
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowhil or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play
II you wish II will tell you
Let me whisper TO you sly
II your neighbor Is but civil,
II Is not your business why
In short, instead Of prying
Into other men's affairs,
II you do your own but Justice
You will have no tino for Their D.
BE attentive TO such manners
As CONCERN yourself alone,
AN wha1bver fortunate flatters
Let your business be your own

Let me whisper TO you s'y-

METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL SoCIE-
TY.-The regular monthly meeting of this
Society was held at Nicholson-street church,
Rockets, Sunday afternoon, VIM. Willis,
Jr,, in the chair.
The meeting was opened with singing by
Rockets school, and prayer by Rev. J. 2.
Brock.
The superintendent then introduced as
the main exercise of the occasion the recita-
ton of selected passages of Scripture by six
girls and six boys of Rockets school. The
recitations were interspersed with singing
by the children, led by r. Z. Valentine,
Esq. The exercise was very pleasant and
instructive.
Rev. r. II. Mullen, pastor, and Mr.. L.
Penny, superintendent, gave interesting ac-
counts Of the condition and prospects Of
the school, which were very gratifying.
The school has increased great deal in the
past few months, and now numbers ITO
scholars. I. w. Pemberton, I. L. d.
Walford, R. III. Whitlock, and P. j. Crew,
of Trinity school, and r. L. Richardson OF
Union Station, made interesting and appro-
pirate addresses.
The next meeting, which will be the 7th
anniversary of the society, will be held at
Union Station church, second Sunday in
October.

The residents on upper Broad street
are now discussing the project OF tunnelng
the mountain-chain in front of their abodes.
They say they are determined to open COM
munication with each other in some way,
and as tunneling has been success at Chi
cago, Mt. Gents, and various other places,
they do not see why they could not pass
from one side of the street to the other
through hole in the ground, and thus
avoid all the danger of scaling the heights,
as we'll as the fatigue and expense of a
days journey around them. The project
certainly seems feasible, and we hope our
friends up there will speedily investigate
the matter through competent engineers, so
that the work may be begun at once, be-
fore bad weather sets in.

TRAIN FOR HUNTINGTON.-We were
unable to visit and inspect, as invited, the
train of new and elegant cars which yester-
day at 3 O'Clock P. NJ, left the depot Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad for Hun
tington, West Virginia.
We are assured by those who saw the
cars, that they were superior in point OF
get-up, combining all the recent improve
ments for the comfort, safety and conve-
nience of passengers.
They were built under the immediate SUI
pervision of Mr.. John N. King, master car
penter and car-builder of the road, who re-
fleets credit upon himself and our city for
the handsome work he has turned out. Mr..
King has been connected with the road for
many years, and we have personally OBJ
served the care he takes in .judciously Sc
lecting his assistants.
The train will 90 as far as Gordonsville
on the Chesapeake and Ohio road, thence
to Strasburg by the Orange, Alexandria
and Manassas Gap road, and thence to Par
kersburg on the Baltimore and Ohio road.
We understand Capt. Joe Mallory, will
be placed in charge of this train as conduc-
tor. 1t true we congratulate the people of
West Virginia for having thus secured the
services OF one Of the most polite, attentive
and accommodating conductors ever con-
nected with any railroad. We trust his re-
moval to another State will enable him to
find people unfamiliar with that objection
able song-'sNone for Joe,' and in its stead
they will sing the more cheering one Of
"Some for joe" We part with him with
regret. May he never pull ''cord" less
generous than the one in his own breast.

LEASE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
RAILROAD TO THE RICHMOND AND
DANvILLE RAILROAD.-The lease for
thirty years of the entire road of the North
Carolina company, two hundred and twen-
ty-three miles from Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, to Goldsboro, North Carolina, by the
Richmond and Danville railroad company,
was consummated on yesterday. The
Richmond and Danville railroad company is
to pay 100000 per annum for the use of
the North Carolina company's road. Pos
session was fully delivered this morning,
and it is now operated under the control of
Col. A. S. Buford, president of Richmond
and Danville railroad, thus completing his
plan of continuous line from Richmond and
Chesapeake to Atlanta, Ca, and the central
South. The lease gives general satisfaction,
as it is regarded the best interest of botR
contracting companies, and establishes a
great thoroughfare from the Eastern Attain
tic States under one management.
This is truly great achievement for Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, and the mercan-
tile, manufacturing and producing interest
will be greatly augmented Gn both sections)
by the consummasion of this grand scheme
of internal improvement. We expect very
soon to witness the wonderful cf-
feet produced by this continu-
GUS line, as it will instill new vigor
and activity among the merchants and man
ufacturers of our city. The building up of
new manufacturing enterprises, with cheap
and certain transportation facilities, is to be
the dawn of new era in favor of our great
and rapidly growing city. Long may she
wave, and wide and boundless may be her
expansion

MorHEns, READ l-Accident.-B the accidental
overtuIning OF baby carriage yesterday after
noon, on Sycamore street, Ia little child (whose
name we did not learn), was violently thrown
out on the pavement At first it appeared to
have suffered serious injury, but fortunately
escaped any damage more painful than few
slight bruises.
We urge parents not to trust their infants in
carriages on Sycamore street, where such crowds
are always passing, and whore there is always
liability of accidental injury being sustained.
There is plenty of room for the children on other
streets, and they should be made to stay there.
We cut the above from the Petersburg
Inder of this morning, and would advise the
mothers Of Richmond to beware of the
habit of sending their children upon the
crowded streets of the city, with nurses
who are more. interested in other things than
they are of the little ones under their
charge.
We hope we may be wrong, yet expect
to see verified our prediction, that some
body's baby would yet get hurt.

The DOUBTING THOMAs.-We regret
to see any expression of doubt as to the
early removal of the present uncomfortable
and intolerable quarters of the police JUS
tice. We cannot consent to unite with the
sceptical upon this question.
Our Council is composed OF sensible gen
tlemen. whose regard Tor their own comfort
and conyenienoo, induced them to make
liberal appropriations for a change in the
place OF their meeting. There is no just
roason why they should be less regardless
for the comfort and convenience of other
officers of the city. The people of Rich
mond, and most especially the colored peo-
pie, have reason to congratulate themselves
that the police court is presided over by a
courteous, patient, liberal, and just man.
Justice White is o gentleman devoid of par
tisan feeling, devoid of every emotion which
would unfit HIN for the trying and peculiar
position he now holds. Nothing should be
withheld aom him likely to disturb his lib
eral cosduct, but we fear, if he is compell-
ed to remain where he is, he will grow sour
ana morose, in fact, get into bad humor
With every body, 1--WE know we would do
something he ought not do, and leave un-
done something he ought to do.
There is no satisfaction to the tricr or tried
where the police cases are now disposed of,
and unless the Council does make a change
(which we do not doubt we wont 60 there
any more, (unless compelled neither will
we be friendly to the Council. We cannot
doubt its action in this matter.

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.--Ths
concert at Assembly Hall last evening, was
well attended by fashionable and appre.
ciativc audience, and if one were to judge
from the double eacoriag, gave very general
satisfaction. The programme consisted o
some of the choicest selections in opera
aud ballad music, capable of that perfec-
ton in rendition, which is only limited by
the musical perception of its translators.
To crticise these singers individually
we admit them more variety of voice and
expression, than is usual to find condensed
in musical troupe. The ladies had some
fine soprano and contralto notes, and could
the surplus animation of the one been
equally endowed upon the two, the balance
of power and effect would have been more
happily sustained.
While we are not unmindful of the mer-
its of Arnold, Kelleher and Mclaughlin,
the rich, natural tones of Grant went to the
heart, and will not soon be forgotten.
In wishing this company of vocalists a
bright future, we should do them great in
justice did we fail to recommend them to a
more careful study of authors, as they Ire
IN their creations, and to the development of
a deeper merit and spirit-power than is to
be obtained in ordinary rehearsals.
Mr.. Arnold possesses. a face sufficiently
handsome to prevent its frequently hiding
by the sheet music he holds before him.
Much expression is given to song by behold
ing the face of the singer, and we respect
fully submit to Mr.. A. the robbery he COM
mits by The habit we refer to.
We can never consent to the opinion ex-
pressed by one of our cotemporaries, that
the absence of Mr.. Carncross was supplied
by the presence of Mr.. Mclaughlin. We
must be candid and express our preference
as favorable to Mr.. Carncross, both in voice
and expression. 1t must not be construed
by Mr.. l.. as any reflection upon his abili-
ties, as we rate the talent of Mr.. Carncross
as of the highest order.
The unfortunate lamcness Of Mr.. Beckett,
who presides at the piano with so much
ease and grace, and whose ability is not to
be doubted, should induce him to remain at
his instrument when seated, which would
make it more agreeable to the audience,
who must ever be consulted OF such occa-
sions.
The audience last night was pleased with
the efforts OF the different performers, and
our citizens will doubtless show their APP
probation by giving them as good, if not
better, house tonight than was had on last
evening. fssJs1
