A JUDGE SHOWS FATHER AND CHILD TO TILE
JuRY.-In Eedell county, between States
vile and Mocksville, i country store Is
closed and farmhouse has taken the home
stead. A poor girl, 4 Miss safret, lives near,
and the farmer, named Lowery, is said to
have ruined her under promise Of marriage.
But he married another, and the poor girl,
with her baby boy at her side, brought suit
for breach of promise for s., 900. The man
fought it hard with the best legal talent III
the State, and the finest effort ever heard
was said to have been made by Judge
Fowle at the last term OF Rowan court,
where the suit was moved. He was OF
counsel for the defence. The man denied
everything. The young woman showed his
letters. He denied the handwriting. Her
counsel proved it by his own witnesses.
1t was proposed to show the little boy to
the jury.
Judge Cloud: "Stand its little feet on the
railing and let the jury look at it." Cro the
MANI: "And you, Lowery, d'you stand up
thar by it and let the jury look at you"
The man moved up and the jury exam

girls favor for $4,000, but it threw many

70 the Editors Of the Dispatch: Allow
me space in your columns to make an ad-
dendum to the history Of the old African
church, which appeared in yesterdays Dis
patch-viZ. : That at an early day Of the
month of April, 1861, the largest meeting
ever held in that church took place in behalf
OF the Union, the Constitution, and the En-
forcement OF the Laws.
I had the honor to preside at that meet
ing. Such men as Waitman t. Wiley, Of
MOnongahela county; John \. Campbell,
OF Washington county; and the late George
w. Summers, of Kanawha county-all Of
them being members of the State Convcn-
ton OF Of the Legislature, both bodies then
being in session in this scity-made. able
and eloquent addresses to the large audience
in behalf OF the Union.
I lost my copy OF the proceedings OF the
meeting by the fire OF the Sd OF April, 1865
There was record Of its proceeding pub
lished in the Dispatch at the time.
| have no doubt the omission OF so inn
Dortant an event as the one above named
was purely accidental.

How BOYS MARBLES ARE MADE--Almost
all the "marbles" with which boys every
where amuse themselves, in season and out
of season, on sidewalks and in sandy spots,
are made at Oberstein, Germany. There are
large agate quarries and mills in that neigh
borhood, and the refuse is turned to good
account in providing the small stone balls
for experts TO "knuckle" with. The stone
is broken into small cubes by blows OF a
light hammer. These small blocks OF
stone are thrown by the shoyelful into the
hopper Of small mill formed OF bed
stone, having its surface grooved with con-
centric burrows. Above this is the "run-
ner," which is Of some hard wood, having
a level face on its lower surface. The upper
block is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves Of the bed-stone,
where the marbles are being rounded. 1t
takes about fifteen minutes to finish half
bushel of good " marbles" all ready for tho
boys' knuckles. One mill will turn 100000
!" marbles" per week. The hardest "crack-
ers," as the boys call them, are made by
slower process, somewhat analogous, how
ever, to the other.

THE BEIREUTH FESTIyAL-A DIsAPPOINT-
MENT FOLLOWED BY A TRIUMPH.-The Herald
correspondent says: Much to the intense
disgust and disappointment OF Herr WagS-
ner the continuity Of performance IN his
great music drama, "thc Ring OF the Nibc-
lungen," was rudely broken Tuesday.
Franz Betz, the celebrated baritone from
Berlin, to whom was entrusted the role OF
Wotan (thc Jove OF Scandinavian mytholo-
gy), was seized Monday night after the con-
cusion of the performance OF "Die Wal
kiirc" with an unconquerable hoarsencSs
that placed him h0rS de combat Tuesday.
This artist has borne the brunt OF the
heaviest lyric and dramatic labor for the
last two evenings, and in such trying work
rs the trilogy OF Wagner, it was too much
to expect that the same artist should sing
each successive night in one OF the most
tasking and difficult works on the operatic
stage. The second opera OF the trllogy,
"Seigfried," is therefore postponed until
Wednesday evening, when it is to be hoped
that Herr Betz will be sufficiently recovered
to undertake the role Of the Wanderer (Wo-
tan).
4 press dispatch dated Wednesday states
that "the performance Of Siegfried, the Sc
cond OF the Wagner trilogy, which was
postponed from Tuesday, took place to-day.
1t lasted seven and hall hours, including
two intcrnlissions OF an hour each between
the acts. The audience manifested the
greatest enthusiasm. The scene in which
the dialogue between Siegfried and the
Waldvoegelen occurs produced marked
impression, as did also the finale OF the first
act, in which Siegfried forges the sword.
The closing scene Of the opera, where Bru-
nahilde is aroused from sleep on the fiery
rock, made striking effect. Among the
distinguished persons present tonight was

LOCAL MATTERS.

The STRENGTH OF MAYo's AND THE FREE
BR1DGE.-The evening that Stacy's shuck
factory was burned, in Manchester, one Of
the members of the Council Committee on
the Fire Department noticed that the i'm
mense weight Of one Of the steamers
seemed to make the bridge vbrate consider
ably, and fears were entertained as to its
strength. At subsequent meeting OF the
Committee on the Fire Department COM
mittee consisting OF the chairman OF the
committee, chief engineer, and captains,
was appointed to examine both the bridges.
This committee made their first visit OF in
spection to the bridges yesterday evening,
but as yet are not prepared to report. The
Free bridge may be safe, but the committee
will not yet express an opinion OF the safe
ty of NIayo's bridge for the heavy steamers.
There are several holes in the top planks OF
Mayo's bridge, which need repairing. They
will make another tour before reporting.
