ZAMACANA, the representative of the

says that Mexico means we'll, but fails
to explain how it is the raids of Mexican
thieves are not suppressed, He claims
that the Texans steal his countrymen's
cattle, but he lorgets the fact that the
Mexicans along the border of the Rio

Young Ladies, Razanr.

The entertainment, or rather clus-
ter of entertainments, given at the
residence of Hon. D. n. Kennedy
by the young ladies of the Presbyte-
rian Church was thorough success.
Everybody went there with high
expectation knowing the high char
acter of the fair hOstesses for grace
full hospitality, and everybody found
their expectations surpassed. The
lovely weather aided in mo small
degree the efforts of the ladies, and
though only four days before Christ
mas, parties of moonlight ramblers
might be seen enjoying soft and
genial atmosphere in the lawns and
gardens of the residence. We will
not attempt to recapitulate all the
attractions; there was everything
that could crafty the palate or de-
light the eye, and added to all the
far more grateful charm of kindly
welcome expressed in terms of high
bred courtesy. Among the exciting
events of the evening, the voting to
determine which of the too college
Societies should receive a banner
from the young ladies elected no
small interest; the Stewart Society
won it from the Washington Irving
boys by majority of 80.
We are glad to learn that the en-.
tertainment was a success financial
~ as well as socially, the sum real
lied by the Presbyterian Church
being quite a handsome one.

Observation-Disclosures.

On Thursday night the friends and
patrons of this excellent school were
invited to witness some tests of the
scholars proficiency. Unfortunate
ly we were too late to get favOra-
BILE place for hearing, and as we were
at one end of it and the exercises at
the other, we derived a very indis-
tinct impression of what was going
on. We willnOt, therefore, attempt
to specify separately the achiev-
ments of the various scholars. One
characteristic we observed, and it is
a rare one in the present day that
all the scholars, old and young, male
and female, spoke with a clear
enunciation, which shows good
training in articulation. We said
we would not specify, but old par
tialitieS will have their way, and we
cannot refrain from mentioning the
delight with which we listened to
the sweet, fresh young vOce of Miss
Beulah Settle, soaring above the
other vOcalists like happy skylark
singing untaught and of ats own
sweet will"

Murder Dealt with by Law

One of the most brutal murders
on record was visited with the death
penalty at jacksonville on the Sth
inst, and, thank Heaven, not this
time by lynch law. The law of the
commonwealth took its due course
in the case, and nothing was neg
lected to secure justice to the ac-
cused. The venue was changed to
McMinville, OnaccOunt of the natu-
raj excitement existing against the
murderer at home. The trial was
before Judge HOyle al the April
term of the Circuit Court; the ver-
dict was murder in the first degree,
and the sentence death. An appeal
was taken, and at the recent session
of the Supreme Court the sentence
of the lower court was affirmed.
We spare our readers the details
of the crime and of the execution
the victim of the crime was the
murderer's own wife, and the crime
itself was the elimination of long
series of violent and brutal Outrages
upon the unhappy woman. Strong
drink was of course the proximate
cause. We hope yet to see the law
of murder rigidly enforced and
Judge Lynch driven from the bord-
erS of Tennessee.

SHOULD any of our readers be in
doubt as to what would be a suitable
Christmas present for an absent
friend, we would suggest that they
60 to MacCormac's and have him
take their picture; he viii do it in
the very best style. His gallery is
full of pictures, every one of which
is of the most decided merit, and
would compare favorabIy with those
of any gallery in the United States.
We especially call the attention of
those visiting his gallery to the por-
trait of Mr.. c. D. Bailey, of this city,
and that of the late Charles N. Mer-
iwether. Both are enlarged pictures,
finished in crayon and pas
tel colors, and are elegant specimens
of photography.

WE have never seen cheaper and
prettier goods suitable for Christmas
presents, or in greater variety
than can be found at Cookies. 1t is
a real treat to look at this stock, and
we would advise our readers to call
and examine for themselves before
buying elsewhere. Gold watches
and chains were never cOeaper, and
would make somebody an elegant
present. Rings, buttons, lOckets,
chains, pins and earrings, scarf pins,
fine gold pens, etc, are always ac-
ceptable, and anything of this kind
always lasts so long that it makes it
the more desirable. He has also
the latest novelties in silver goods
and cut glass, the ladies only can
fully appreciate this line, but we
could not help admiring the rich
water sets, cake and fruit baskets,
castOrs, cups, bowls, spoons, knives
and forks. Toilet sets, vases, tea
and dinner sets for young and old,
and all kinds of toys. On Dec. 18th
he will open fine lot of dolls and
toys, from the cheapest to the finest.
Call and see for yourselves, and you
will be perfectly surprised at the
beauty rs well as the cheapness of
his stock. st.

Humorous and Dramatic Read
ings, by Prof. j. WfIHOughby
Reade.

Our citizens enjoyed truly in
taIectual treat in the entertainments
given by Prof. Reade on Saturday
and Monday nights. These consist
ed of readings and Rotations, seri-
Gus and comic, from standard au-
thers, and some the origin of which
is unknown to US, probably the
composition of the reader himself.
The merits of Prof. Reade are first
the essential one of refined and
finished elocutiOn, and, in addition
to this, great powers of expression
and keen sense of humor. His
elocution, though an elementary
quality, is very rare one; we mean
the faculty by which every sem
tence, clause, word and syllable be-
comes distinctly audible and intel
ligible without any unpleasant
stfaining of the voice.
His comic selections are chiefly
from Dickens and Mark Twain, and
the hearty and sustained merriment
of the audience is sufficient COM
mentary upon them. His efforts in
serious defamation show greater
power of elocutiOn and an intensity
of expression rarely equalled; we
have but one drawback to mention,
and that is that the majority of
them are not selected from standard
authors, at least one selection from
Shakespeare would, we think, have
been welcome. Those which mere
taken from standard authors, one |
from Burns and another from Poe, 1
were the best rendered and the best |
Concerning this latter
one, we have few words of criti-
cism to give. We will premise by
saying that it is the best reading of /
Poe's craven" we have ever heard,
and taken as a struggle of conflict
ing passions there was a variety and I
force of expression given to it which
shows a mastery power of elocu-
ton. But when we say that it is
the best reading of the poem that :
we ever heard, we feel bound to add
that we have never heard it read so
rs to realize our idea of the poets
This we take to be a
lepth of mental despair in which
the stage of passionate conflict has
Ong been pascal despair which
mas almost given up the idea of
nope. For one moment the thought
If possible reunion with lost LenOre
'aises it to yearning that almost
reaches the plane of passionate as
but it dies away in the
"Nevermore," and stays
upon the fancy as Il re-
yretful thought of what might have
Deen rather than an aspiration after
still within the sphere of (
human hopes. The mode of recita-
ion to express this would be low
rising for a few lines into
/ slight swell of agitation, and then
linking with the last "NevermOre''
ntO a wall of despair deeper and
adder even than the commencing
doom. Whether this idea of the
DOem could be realized at all in a
public recitation is doubtful, and we
hink it probable that it cannot, and
hat the piece had better not be !
Ised for that purpose. Mr.. Reade
las done with it what can be done,
nd we thank him for the effort.
n Browning's "GOod News from
ihent" and the anonymous "Karl {
he Martyr" he leaves nothing to be I
little more of the O
anne sort. z
