Personal.

Mr.. John Hirsch. of Blossburgh, Tioga coun-
ty, Pennsylvania is in the city looking after our
facilities for manufacturing glass. Mr.. Hirsch
was employed in the old glass works in opera
ton before the war. Since then he has become
interested in extensive glass works at the place
above mentioned and is now here to see what
can be done in this direction in Knoxville. He
has been a correspondent of Messrs. Munson &
Bailey and reader of the CHRONICLES Facts
About East Tennessee. Mr.. Hirsch is gentle
man whose locating here would be of immense
advantage to our city, and we trust he may
find it to his interest to do so. .-tI
We had the pleasure yesterday of call from
Mr.. Simpson, of Pennsylvania. who has been
investigating into our iron resources. He is
confident we have facilities here for making
iron very cheap and predicts that in less than
ten years we will have iron works blazing on
every hill side about the city.

splendid success. The dizziness of this frater
nifty is not often enlivened with anything 81
polished and entertaining, and at the same tim,
so shrewd and sensible He proceeds to speal
of one of the West Point heroes thus:
Thanks to the school that gave to US the life,
That has famed highest in our noble strife
The splendid soldier and the modest man,
Who with the hand to strike and the head Il
plan, -e. sTs . 1e-rre
Rose in the nation in its darkest hour.
And won his way by proves up to power;
Whose giant combinations and campaigns
Won from his boys the sobriquet-"Old brains,
One thrill of joy we all remember well,
When Donelson with all its thousands fell =
And when upon our Nations day of Days
After fierce struggle and prolonged delays,
Beleaguered Vicksburg dropped the rebel rag
And bowed in dust before the Nations flag =
And thirty thousand prisoners of war "a
Marched out amid the smoke of one cigar;
Phrases were powerless to express our joy,
And cen the bravest shouted like a boy.
But when our hero with his heroes all 49,
And like a bulldog fixed his awful grip
Relentlessly on Richmonds quivering lip,
And held it quivering till his plans matured,
And all his minor triumphs were secured,
And then shook out of it its guilty soul,
And swallowed Lee and all his army whole.
We went crazy, shouted, laughed and cried,
Rang bells, burned powder, sang and glorifed
Praised all concerned, and laude1 most of sll,
Him who had given the foe his fatal fall
But quite forgot that cradle of cadets, -5
Where infant warriors sprout their epauledts-
That school which reared to meet the Nation
want,
The peerless man and soldier, General Grant
Thanks, too, for him the gallant, dashing blade,
Light in the saddle, heavy on the raid,
Whose gallant rides will live on stored page,
Like the brave exploits of a knightly age
Who turned the Valley of the Shenandoah,
Into long resounding threshing floor,
Where saber fails whipped out the Rebel grain
And straw and chaff were threshed and thresh-
ed again,
Man of few inches, every inch a man, p
Flower of our chivalry, Phil Sheridan.
We wish every reader of the Tribune could
have heard the poem entire. ---.- -E

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, August IA letter re-
GeIved here from the Governor of North
Carolina, in response to n request for a
copy Of the certificate of election from the
Secretary of State, says the result of the
election officially will not be made known
until after the Speaker of the House opens
all the returns in the presence of both
branches of the Legislature, which does
not convene until the third Monday in
November.
There are some fifteen counties yet to be
heard from, except partial returns. The
most heard from are semi-official, and it is
pretty satisfactorily ascertained that Cald-
wells majority will range from 1880 to
200. The letter is signed by t. R. Cald-

The Masquerade Ball.

TIE masquerade ball at Montvale Springs last
night came off with great ectat,
And bright
The lamps shone DER fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music rose with its vOluptuous SWELL
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as n marriage BELLE"
About forty persons were in costume; among
the ladies we noticed Mrs. q. of Charleston S.
c., as the "Girl of the Period" When we first
saw the Grecian bend, the dangling hands, the
high-heeled boots, the jockey hat surrounding
a lovely face and-that paraSoL, we thought
that there must be a mistake about being at
Montvale and we were on the beach at Long
Branch.
Any such ideas, however, quickly dispelled
by the appearance of Miss NJ, of Memphis,
as "a Spanish Lady" who transported US to the
courts of Spain in the twinkling of an eye. We
Miss Lizzie McC|, of Memphis as the peas
ant Girl. The rustic simplicity of her dress
combined with charm me cannot quite ex-

mountaineers who thronged the doors and win
dows, to smile with sort of kind" of pleased
expression, yet.
Her comedy form and graceful mien
Bespoke the Lady and the Queen"
Miss Jennie v of Philadelphia, as the
Fortune Teller" looked as she was, the very
Queen of Hearts. Little Miss W and sister,
of Columbus, Miss, appeared as Fairy Queen

"Gipsy Bride" looked very lovely,
The fairest still when all were fair
Miss Anna B, of Pontotoc, Miss, appear

THE GENTLEMEN.
Mr.. T., of Columbus, Ca, appeared
"Lacladd in mightie arms and silver shielde,

Mr.. D, of Savannah, as member OF the d.
