THE FLOWER QUEEN Go oaation Of the
Ro<c; Wasn't it nicc?' Such was the tavor!e
sentiment of those who attended Sarcpta Hall
last night and witnessed the display Of the
'fio wcr Queen.
Pot-The cantata represents an aged man,
who, becoming tired o. The connanlonshlp oil
men, aud weary of the cares Of busy llc, seeks
rest in Scque>tcrcd nook OF a woodland grove,
determining that here will rest. He IS
finally persuaded by the flowers to give up the
habits of rocuSe and go forth III the busy
hauns of life once more and to battle for right.
THE .Stugcwas appropriately arranged for the
occasion by being trimmed with evergreen and
having its two extremes concealed by the same.
In the centre of the platform was u bower, IN
which was a raised chair, representing the
Queens throne.
Rosc-I'he Queens part was rendered by
Miss Bette Reyes, whose modest department,
gentle grace and sweet voice, won golden Gu
cumiums from ALL
Reclusc was represented by Mr.. W. H. Dan
es, who deserves great praise tor the manner
u which he engineered the affair.
We would like, if space would allow, to give
a minute description Of the parts assumed by
the Misses Hunter, Hooge, Arnold, Breuge,
Manly, Higgins, Clifford, Pollard, Dorsey
Flora and Katie Grcenaway, Ward and others,
but as we have rot the space, suffice 1t to say,
that all parts were we'll sustained and nicely
rendered.

Oh the stage caule near creating a stampede
among the ,imid, who were, doubtless, under
the impression it was huge flag denoting the
proximity Of some dread disease, but as soon
as the people were aroused to realization Of
the 'boute" character, alarm gave way to
mcrriment and ninth.

over by Miss Alice Thomas, accompanied by

The entertainment will be repeated tonight,
and we have no hestancy 10 urging all who d :
sire spending pleasant evening to go, for We
are confident that Flora (no matter how charm
ing here parterre may bc,) would experience
great pleasure in gazing upon such beautiful
cluster of flowers as was displayed last night,
and it is no wonder, therefore, that those
prcscn, at the exhibition we're completely en-
chaucd in witnessing such an array of choice
blossoms, forming, as it were, bouquet of
dazzling hues aul fascinating sweetness.

A Singular Case Of Depravity
LGrcenvillc (Tcnn.) Letter to Knoxvill,
Press and Herald

.Grcenvillc (Tcnn.) Letter to Knoxville
Press and Herald
The cholera at Greenville has devel-
oped a few cases of mons:rous deprav.
ity, Il of which | will relate without
mentioning names An old gentle-
man. probably nearly seventy years OF
age, who lived a mile or two in the
country, and noted for his recklessness
and utter defiance of the laws of God,
came into town one day. and passing
down the street cried out that he in.
tended to spread the cholera over the
town. He then went to an undertaken
and wanted to know if he could make
him a coffin and what he would charge.
The reply was that if he wanted it be-
fore his death he would charge him
twenCy five dollars, but if after he
would charge only fourteen dollars.
He told him to proceed with the mat
ter but to be sure to make it out of
OF two inch plank and leave it open at
both ends, SO that if the devil comes
in at n end he COLD escape at the
other. That night he was stricken
down with the CHI olcra, and by morn.
ing was a corpse.

Poor Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been brought up
to work. There are thousands OF
them, that have been taught to dcs-
pise labor, and depend upon others for
Il living, and are perfectly helpless.
The most forlorn and miserable women
on earth belong to this class. 1t be
longs TO parents to protect their daugh.
tiers from this deplorable condition.
They do them a great wrong if they
neglect it. Every daughter should be
taught to earn their own living. The
rich as well as the poor require this
training. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly round-the rich are very likely
to become poor ana the poor rich.
Skill 10 labor Is no disadvantage to the
rich. and is indispensable to the poor.
Well to.do parents must educate their
daughters to work no reform is more
Imperative than this.

Censorship of the Press .

The attempt made by certain parti-
sans Of the Administration in Wash.
ington to have Mr.. Dana, the editor OF
the New York Sun, arrested and taken
to that city to be tried for libel, is the
most high-handcd and despotic attack
ever made in this country upon the
freedom Of the press. 1t is the OK.
IRENE Of tyranny, beside which the Sc
dition law, which caused the downfall
Of the John Adams administration,
seems mild and harmless, In discuss
ins the right of the Administration to
arrest and carry a citizen away from
the courts of his own State to the Dis.
trict Of Columbia to be tried for such
All o%fIense. the guilt or innocence of
Mr. Dana, the truth or ialsity Of the
article pronounced libelous, is not to
be considered, for they have nothing
to do with the question whether the
Administration has any LEGAL authority
for this attempt to silence the discuss
ion of its acts. and to place 4 censor.
ship over the American press. This is
the vital question a. issue. For it is
obvious to every one that the arrest Of
Mr. Dana, taking him before u United
States Commissioner, and demanding
his removal to Washington for trial,
mean that the court at Washington
will be organized to convict. 1t is
plainly not.the intention of the Fed
eral authorities that he shall have q
fair trial. He has offended the Adj
ministration by his structures and must
be silenced by the assessing of dam.
ages that will amount to pecuniary
ruin. The question nov pending be-
fore Judge Blatchford, of New York,
whether Mr.. Dana shall be removed to
Washington or not, is the deepest mo.
ment to the press of the whole coun-
try, for it presents in 4 formal aspect
the question whether or not the people
shall be suffered to discuss the
measures, policy and appointments of
Administration. Queen Victoria
would not dare to make such an assault
on the freedom of the British press.

Entitled by popular traditio
g Mother Shiptol's Prophecy" Pub
lished in l4iS, republished in 1911,
Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidents ill the world with woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall lily
In the twinkling OF an eye.
The world upside-down shall be,
And gold be found Mt the foot OF a tree.
Through hills men shall ride
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black and green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easily as a wooden boat.
God shall be found and shown
In a land that's now not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a foe.
Inc world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
