The Matinee Yesterday at the National.
At an early hour yesterday forenoon an I'M
mense crimson poster, enyelOped In dark and
cloudy border, suddenly spread itself over the
sky OF Washington, and announced q grand mat
inee performance by the Fire Fiend at the Ma
tlonal theatre. Immediately all were In excite
ment, and In less than twenty minutes fully ten
thousand persons had assembled to witness the
imposing spectacle. Dramatic history records
the great GarTieks farewell appearance at Drury
Lane, In lTT6; Mfs Siddons' debut AZ star, In
lIs2; the death Of Talma, In 1926 the burning OF
the Richmond theatre, Including the GOy-
In 1911; the death Of Rachel, In 1883; Jenny
Llnd's first appearance, In 1851, and thousands
and thousands OF similar events: but amid
them all there II one singular fact, and that Is
that, more frequently than great actors rise,
theatres are burned down, aud the number Of
theatres that have been burned is greater than
the number Of eminent theatrical stars since the
days OF the theatre Of Bacchus, at Athens, built
l90 years before the Christian era.
The drama yesterday At the National was not
q long one, but the curtain rolled dOwnapon a
heap OF ashes, aud 1t Will be a long, long time
before all the pleasant scenes connected with the
theatre are forgotten.

George Stroller Gaines.

From the New York Herald of n recent
date, we copy below brief sketch of the
late George S. Gaines, citizen of East
fennessce in early life, where many of his
relatives how reside: :
This gentleman. who was one of the
contemporaries Of Aaron Burr and General
Jackson, died last week at State Line,
Mississippi, aged eighty-nine years. The
Haynesville (Ala.) Examiner, which an
nounces his death, states that it was Colo
mel Aaron Burr, ex-Vice President of the
Union, who watched as Mr.. Gaines lay
afflicted of fever at st. Stephens, in
1906. He sent news of the massacre of
Fort Mimms to General Jackson in 1913,
and explored the West for home for the
Chocktaws in 1929. He was q Senator
from MareDgo and Clarke in 1S25-fOrty-
eight years ago-and owned the first
store" at the town of DemOpolis. For
many years, he was President of the
branch bank at Mobile. When General
Jackson was about to retire from the Pres
idency he stood on the porch of the White
House, and, iii presence of Mr.. Gaines,
told the President elect, Mr.. Van Buren,,
that if Mr.. Gaines should ever apply for
an office he hoped that he would not re-
fuse him; for" said General Jackson,
"Mr. Gaines will ask for no position that
he can not ILL.," The town of Gainesville,
in Sumter, was named for Mr.. Gaines, in
consequence Of the incident so flattefing
to him, to be found in Brewers "Ala-
bama," page 526. He was truly noble
man, with but one side to his honorable
nature; and he deserved to live out the
full measure of useful life, if life be a
blissful existence. Born in 1884, he was a
young man when the century began. He
was the brother of Major General E. P.
Gaines, and uncle Of Mr.. F. S. Lyon, of
Marengo. His eye had glanced over the
most memorable period of the worlds his
tory, and he had lived from the simplicity
Of the old time to the grossness of the
present without being corrupted by its
vices and follies. There are but few men
like George S. Gaines, and the fact is a
prieyOus one

Maj. NJ. J. Wicks published an adver-
tisement in special edition of the North
Georgia Citizen, published in the town
having that now famous hotel opposite
the DEPOT in which, after reciting the
facts of the publication and the correspon-
dence, he says:
But. upon reaching here this morning, l
was surprised to find, instead of VIM.
Rule, Esq, copy Of the Knoxville
Chronicle of this dale, containing copy
the correspondence, with cOmmunica-
ton, dated yesterday, about three-fourths
of column in length, in which he reiter-
ateS the calumnieS and falsehOods con-
tanned in the communication of the 10th
of December, but declines to meet ne for
the purpose of vindicating his false charges
and insnuations or giving me the slight
est satisfaction for the gross and wantOn
wrong he has done me.
If he had exhibited the thoUsandth part
of the zeal in an effort to reach the truth
of the matters about which he undertook
to inform the public, that he displayed in
stringng together the tissue Of falsehoOd
and SANDER in the communication of 18th
December, he would have ascertained that
the Savings Bank resumed payments with
In ninety days after suspension, and that
its liabilities, so far as pres, nted, have ali
been paid, and that it is ready to pay,
whenever presented, the small balance yet
outstanding.
If he had called upon my successor in
the Presidency of the N. & c. Railr ad
Company, Or the Directors of that Compa-
ny, who are most familiar with its affairs
and the manner in which they were man.
aged during the time that was Presidenl
of the Company he would have learned
that there was not the shadow of fOunda
ton for his vile. false and slanderOus in
situations with regard to that matter; but,
instead of this, he willfully and deliberate
ly repea,s the falsehoods, and seeks to pro
tect himself behind the declaration that
.dueling is contrary TO the spirit of the age,
the laws of humanity, the country and
God; yet, in the face Of all these laws he
grossly violates truth and every principle
of honor in the infamous WORK OF detrac
ton and defamation.
He says, he has reason to believe that /
knew he would not fight before invited
him to meet me here. In answer to which
L have only to say, that did not know OF
his existence until my attention was called
to him by his false and slanderOus cOmmu-
ncation of the 10th December, and the
only reason 1 could have had to doubt his
manhood is found in the fact of his das
tardy conduct IN giving publicity to false
hood and SANDER which he had not the
manlness to promptly vindicate or retract.
Feeling assured that no charge or state
ment hereafter emanating from VIM. Rule
can harm any one leave him to sucn po-
sition in the public esteem OR contempt as
a just aud enlightened people may consign
him. III. j. WICKs.
