Belshazzar's doom upon the wall is an
ingenious piece Of mechanism. 1t is
due to the singers to say that, with one
or two exceptions, their acting is in ex-
act conformity with the instructions
given by Mr.. Ten Brock, who has in.
sisted upon the acceptation of his con-
ception of the plots and scenes, and the
local managers have joined with him in
demanding compliance. 1t is also no.
ticeable that in every instance where
the singers have refused to comply, the
adoption Of their own several ideas
have elected applause from the audience.
As a whole the presentation of this
opera has been a perfect success. We
must not close without commencing
Miss Helen Graham, the pianist, and
the gentlemen Of the orchestra. They
all did their duty and added greatly to
the charm of the entertainment.

The colored people have their
own schools and churches. Their
schools are under the direction of
the board of education, just as the
whites, but what I mean to say is
they are educated by themselves.
Nearly all their teachers are whites
but such is the prejudice that per-
son teaching in colored school can.
not change to one of the whites
and the prejudice is just as strong in
matters of religion. l have never
seen a colored person in my con-
gregation. They have not, as a
people, advanced very far in morals
and education. They do not always
tell the truth and it is best to have
things pretty well secured at night.
They are all very religious, but
some OF them not very honest.
There are honorable exceptions to
this, however. and as education and
religion exercise their influence their
moral condition will improve.
During the cold snap there was
much suffering among them as we'll
as among the poor whites, manv
families were without food or fuel.
The clergy of the city were appoint
&c to visit the several wards and
relieve such as were needy.
During last week we assisted, in
our ward alone, about fifty families
with wood, coal, meal, bacon and
coffee, we visited the larger number
OF these families, some were burning
their last stick, or parts of their fur
nlture, or partitions of houses, and
some were without either food or
fuel. Much of this was caused bv
their Incidence, they will not work
unless they are obliged to.
There are two things indespensi-
bic to the comfort of one of these
poorer homes and it is not all con-
fined to the poorer classes, snuff and
coffee. Some would say: can't you
give little coffee ? I'D rather do
without my grub almost. I've had a
power of head ache ever since I
was out of coffee" We did not
furnish any. snuff, but we saw the
snuff stick as we have often done
before. The women and girls use
them, and as 1 have already said, it
is not all confined to the poorer
class.
Here IS correct picture of domes-
TIC bliss. An open fireplace with a
small fire. The old man and John
sit on one side chewing and splitting,
the mother and Jane on the other
side chewing their newly dipped
snuff sticks, and they have the same
mack of splitting that John and his
father have. Now, John and his faith
er use the same kind oftobacco and
spit just as we have seen John and
his father do in Minnesota, 1 have
thought great many times since l
have been South how nice it would
be for those Johns of Minnesota to
come down here and get a snuff
chewing Jane for a wife. No nicer
than it is for those Minnesota lanes
to be compelled to take one Of those
Minnesota Johns for a husband.
When we get out of the mud and
rain l will tell your readers more
about the south. ... -, 49,.

First Winter South.


ny south has not been quite so sun
ny the present winter. We have
been accused of bringing Minnesota
winter with us. New Years day was
greeted with fifteen inches of snow
and on the morning of the third our
old thermometer felt at home for
| once in being allowed to drop eight
below zero. Next day morning it
was four above and the following
six above. We had good sleighing
for week, wonder of wonders for
this country. But could your read
ers have seen the sleighs gotten up
for the occasion Yes, they were
all gotten up for such a thing as a
genuine article is not to be found in
all this section.
All the dry good boxes or any
other Large boxes were converted
into sleigh boxes, some had plank
runners, some the rim to a wagon
wheel bent out, some gass pipes or
Hat iron or round iron according to
taste and convenience. From two
to five dollars fitted up the best rigs,
all except the bells.
Now, one from the north would
have heard the merry sleighs with
the bells, if they had been in Chat
tanooga that week, but they were
not silver bells, but dinner bells, door
bells, COW bells and every kind Ct
bells except sleigh bells.
Sleigh rides were the order of
both day and night. In one days
time the superintendent of our S. S.
had four sleighs built large enough
to carry the whole school of 600,
and with horses and mules. banners
and flags, with bells and fun the
Yankee Methodit S. S. are off for
Look Out Mountains. Well, what
next? Mud, rain, fog and mud, mud,
and the river is rising and next may
be freshet.
= Chattanooga is a town of ten or
twelve thousand inhabitants, one
third southern whites, one third
black and the remainder best class of
Northerners. The city gave good
majority for Hayes and has a repub-
lican city government. The town,
doubtless has future before it. Its
location has secured for it centre

be completed next summer.
