JONES Hall was thrown open to the
public last Friday evening, for the first
time. TWAS we'll lighted, nicely seated,
and comfortably warmed, and although
not half filled, it contained a much larger
audience than is usually seen ct a society
entertainment 'Ira" was there and
seemed to enjoy with. the others an oppor
tunity to see and hear without being in a
jam: but from his appearance no one
would have suspected that he felt more
interest in the occasion, than. did. the
young man who was SO devoted to This
girl that he thought there was no show,
and went away saying that "he had seen
nothing but the foot lights Z Hence
forth Austin has q new career before her.
As itrcquires an occasion to bring out
those qualities which distinguish the nat
urally great, from the ranks Of common
men, so a CITY never knows her capacity
until she is afforded the privilege Of wit
nessing her own greatness; and when
Jones' Hall shall hsve been filed, the
citizens OF Austin will have conscious
ness Of the power Of mere numbers, Of
which today, they little dream. Then
three cheers for Ira and John slsll, the
two men whose enterprise and public
spirit have proyide ,Jones, H ~.

has done it now. He is quiet man and
civil. No one would have expected such
4 thing from him. He has always been
regarded as good citizen-nevcr given
to excuses of any kind,-hence his late
performance surprises everybody. Usu.
ally, men develop into extraordinary
proportions, slowly, by degrees as it were,
so that ultimately, when they do some
brilliant thing, the people are prepared
to witness it without special SURPRISE
When AL unknown Corsican stepped from
a military school to the command of the
greatest army on the continent, the atten<
ton Of the world W as arrested by the act,
and the name of Napoleon has ever since
been the synonym Of power and great
ness; and so when al ordinary grocery:

and candies, suddenly presses whole rail
road into his service to transport half the
product of Micl'igan's apple orchards, it
opens the eyes Of the people and they be-
