THE Ross1N1 CLUB CoNcERT-Notwith-
standing the bleak and cold weather of last
evening, the Reception Hall was closely filled
with an appreciative and intelligent audience
who frequently manifested theirfpleasure at the
entertainment offered by applauding.
First on the programme was the familiar
overtnr, to the Barber of Seville, pleasantly
rendered by Mrs. Rand and Misses Dyer and
Jones; next, the trio lie Spagnole, sung by the
Misses Farley and Munger and Mrs bennett.
Miss Chandler was announced to sing Longfel-
lows ballad, Beware" by Moulton, but one of
Marston's new songs, beautiful little compo-
sition was substituted. Miss Hemmenway in
spite of slight timidity, gave a brilliant piano
forte solo, and the double trio lie Siciliane was
well sung by Misses Farley, Lewis, McCobb Lib
hey, Ware and Munger, and terminated the frs
part
The second part opened with the duet on the
piano-forte by Misses Torrey and Millet, fol-
lowedby Paladilhe's exceedingly delightful and
lively Mandolinata, perfectly sung by Mrs.
bennett, who repeated it on demand from the
audience. The lady was honored with beau
tiful boquet for her fine vocalism. General
divers new sacred trio, The Bird let loose in
Eastern Skies, was then sung by Mrs. Wether-
bee, Mrs. bennett and Miss Libbey and gave
great satisfaction. Miss Ella Lewis sang in her
usual earnest and charming manner, a Swiss
song by Rossini, and was encored. The chorus
from Mercadante's La Vestale, sung by the Club,
closed the concert 1t was charming enter
tainment marred only by the inappropriate
ness of Reception Hall for concert room. A
larger room would have afforded more comfort
for the audience and singers and the volume of
harmony would have been unbroken. We con-
graduate the ladies, however, upon their success
and hope that by-and-by they will crafty their
friends by repetition of last nights pleasure.

THE EAST TENNESSEE, VIRGINIA AND
GEORGIA RAILROAD.

To-day we will have among us large
number of the stockholders Of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
Company, and we take pleasure in well
coming them to our city. We take pleasure
in congratulating them upon the success OF
the great thoroughfare with which they
are connected. We remember when quite
boy, when the people of this county
were thrilled with the scream of the iron
horse, as he came laundering through our
hills and along our valleys. Previous TO
that time, weeks were required to accom-
plish what now requires only hours.
The original stockholders, with whose
money this great line of railway was con-
strueted, deserve the thanks of the c0un-
try for the liberality with which the re-
sponded to calls made upon them, and the
managers deserve much credit for the
high standard to which they have brought
the road. Not perfect perhaps, by any
means, yet the road has been constantly
improving, and stock in it is worth more
to-day than ever before, and is rapidly APP
preciating i'm value. The stockholders have
received very littlein the way of dividends,
yet they have the proud satisfaction of
knowing that they have contributed ma
teralIy to raising our beloved East Ten
nessee, from the estate of a wilderness
to its place in the line of civilization.
We trust wisdom and harmony may
mark their deliberations. of to-day, and

HEALTH OF QUEEN VICToRIA.-The
London Lancet, replying to attacks on
Queen Victoria, based on her absence from
evening entertainments, and on her brief
residence in London, makes the statement
that the Queen is not physically capable of
bearing the effects of crowded or overhead
ed rooms, or of prolonged residence in Lon
don. The Lancet says that the effort of
entertaining in the evening produces upon
the Queen great and immediate discom-
fort followed by sleeplessness or disturbed
rest and severe headache, and that the
Queen rarely visits Buckingham Palace,
her London residence, without suffering
in similar manner. The Lancet reminds
the public that the Queen is a lady nearly
fifty-three years old, and does not possess
the remarkable physical vigor and nerve
power she exhibited twenty years ago.

A NEW ORDER OF THE GARTER.-Seve-
raj young ladies of New York few days
ago accompanied gentleman friend to
witness an exciting game of base ball, in
which he was to take an active part. The
young gentleman had forgotten his belt,
and much to his annoyance, his pantaloons
kept hitching toward his pedal extremi-
ties. Que of the young ladies, more
thoughtful in cases of emergencies than
most of her sex, suggested in whisper
that her three friends-there were four of
them in all-should each contribute one of
their red, white or blue Gas the case might

OUR "LITTLE MOUNTAIN CITY,"
Knoxville Ecllnses Louisville.

Some time since number of Tennessee
editors made an excursion North and pass
ed through Louisville. One of them, the
editor of the Columbia Herald, didn't
think much of the place, and sends it the
following stunning rebuke:
The Louisvillians are peculiar people.
They will neither eat the grass that flour
ishes so lnxuriantly in their broad and
quiet streets, nor will they permit the hun
cry and half-starved cows to do so. They
get mad as the boy with the broken Jews
harp, at everything that comes in compe-
tition with them, and despise everybody
who eXcels them. They set up, some time
since, to do a wholesale business, and one
of our enterprising little Tennessee noun
tain cities tolled off the bulk of their best
customers and upon recapitulating their
business, were indignant to learn that
Cowan, McClung & Co., at Knoxville, had
done heavier business than any concern
in their city by over million of dollars
per annum! They forthwith called pub
tic meeting, and resolved something must
be done to stop this and as the Tennessee
Press Association came along, MISLEADING
LOuisville-it was SO very quiet-for Cave
City, stopped to explore its hidden Won
ders, thought this a good time to get even,
and showed their wrathful indignation in
permitting the entire force of Tennessee
quill drivers to come and depart in peace"
Poor old Louisville. She needs wall in
stead of canal, and when she gathers her
grass crop we hope she will be happy.

so he puts his ear trumpet in place, and
