WHO'LEsPEAK FIRSTf

Negative teaching is not unfrequently the
most direct, truthful and effective. To tell what
thing Is not will define what It really is hence
looking into the low condition Of music In our
city at the present, is problem we most heartily
wish some expert Professor Of music, or dear
friend of the good cause would enlighten us upon.
Is 1t because we are lacking In musical talent or
In culture and taste as community TO appreciate
the lovely and beautiful In music7 Why, In the
light of all that is good and beautiful, can't we
have some music Of home manufacture, from our
home taIent2 It certainly cannot be for want Of
good material of which to make 1t, for ofthis we
can boast Ofan abundance as fully attested In the
mast. Is 1t owing To lukewarmness and apathy of
our singersP Is It the dear love and affection the
singers bear one another that keeps them so near
apart as to cause the varish Of their melodious
voices to fall on the ears Of each? What, then,
Is the cause Of this dearth of musical interest ?
viii some one within the ring that knows tell
us what's the matter2 Speak out, you that know
you that have labored and prayed over this sub
ject till your "locks are wet with the morning
dew" andlet us have the truth In this important
matter. The fact is we need Moody and sankey
revival in music in Canton. Now, let us see who
will blow the first horn around Jericho.

AN INTRusIoN-A young man of Canton sud.
denly concluded the other evening that he would
call on his girl, on East Tuscarawas street, and
having bottle Of whisky in one Of his pockets
he gave 1t to one of several companions to keep
for him, not desiring to take 1t with him for fear
of discovery. After he had been admitted to the
house, by the girl and was quietly enjoying her
society, there was a knock at the door which was
answered by the young lady; when she opened
the door she beheld several young men standing
outside and one who acted as a special commit.
tee, stepped up and handed forth q bottle Of
liquor, with the remark
Your young man LEFT this bottle in ourcharge
before he called to see you; we have sampled the
contents, and agree that 1t is the meanest whisky
in Canton, and hereby desire to return 1t to him
before any Of us are poisoned.
The girl was completely astounded, and the
young man who heard all from his position felt
like rat in a steel trap, and when the girl re-
turned and handed him the flask with a brief
speech OF dismissal, he stole silently and sorrow
fully away with his mind intent on plan for bit
ter revenge. He don't know whether 1t was a
joke or a malicious dodge Of some rival to dis.
place him. Gone to smash the bottle.

On Sunday Of last week two lads were playing
about the new St Peter church, now in the course
of construction. During their tricks and antics,
one called upon the other to get into tub used
for elevatlng brick to the top of the WALL the lad
thoughtleSsly obeyed, and the other Immediately
began pulling him up, by means Of rope and pull
leys. When the tub had reached an altitude of
about twelve feet the contents became frightened
and in Aoundering about was spilled to the floor,
and the tub came tumbling after, cutting severe
cash in the lads head. We were unable to learn
the names of either of them.

TAUGHT BURGLAR VIM. Corleal is a portly
colored man, whose general occupation is that of
singing whitewash brushes over dreamy walls
and dingy ceilings; William also attends to the
chores about the stable of John F. Reynolds on
south Market street, during morning and evening
hourA william had been to see his Dinah fire.
quently for some time previous 10 last Wednesday,
and had arranged almost everything preparatory
TO taking her for his other half on that day. In
order that he might have more time to brace up
for the trying occasion, he arose at halfpast four
o'clock on that morning, and went TO Mr.. Ray.
noidss stable To do his work. While he was en-.
gagged there, a big policeman, who was scouting
about for marauders, discovered him and mis-.
took him for a burglar; William saw the police
man bearing down on him, TOO, and thought he
was garroter or something equally uncompan.
ionable, and deeming discretion thing of pro.
priety he ran into the stable, aud tried TO hide,
but the policeman was too sudden for him; in the
Scuffie attendant upon the double mistake, vii
liam entreated In piteous tones:
70 Lord Mistah buggle.lah, pse got muffin fur
vel please Mlstah, don't be yankin me roun' dat
way; Use only cullud gemman, and de ole lady
watts goin fur to get married togedder to-day, will
be wild wild motions when she finds dis heah out;
please lemme off dis time, an won't tell em
you's oeen heah, shoGh, deed won't; cross my
heart, Mr.. Chokah," By this time Williams
clothes were torn badly In the struggle, and the
policeman beginning to see that something was
not just right listened to his explanations, and
gave him an opportunity of proving his story, by
AWAKENING inmato Of ha ,,,ho a
for its truth. 1t is difficult to imagine on which
of the two the joke is the most pointed, but we
are inclined TO think 1t Is about "'alfand- alf."
