While on visit to Vienna few days
ago, in company with Or. Damron and
Hon. John $. Crum, we visited the pub
lie schools there. The people of Vienna
are beginning to take great interest in their
schools, and have employed the best
teachers within their reach. The school
is DIVIDED into three departments-the
primary, intermediate and grammar
schools. Mr.. p. p. Chapman, graduate
of MeKendree Collage, is principal, and
teacher OF the grammar school; Mr.. A..
II. Carter, also graduate Of Mckendree
college, has charge Of the intermediate
department. The primary school Is I'M
| der control Of Miss Florence Scott, a
young Lady who has proven herself an
expert in the management OF her school.
The average daily attendance in all three
departments ls two hundred, and the dis
ciDllne excellent.

We copy the following reference to
sol, Smith Russell, the great character
actor, who, with his excellent troupe, is
announced to appear at the Athcneum,
In this city, on Saturday night, from an
exchange; "Mr. Russell commenced his
professional career when he was only
twelve years of age, and became very
popular In the West and Southwest as a
boy singer aud actor. For some time he
was connected with regular dramatic
companies, but finding himself spe'
cially successful IN his imita>
tons, he cut loose from all re,
strictions Of such companies, and
devoted himself entirely to his character
sketches, which he has made absolutely
vital with lie, so true are they to nature.
Ii isn't Sol Smith Russell at all for the
moment it is the ancient spinster, Dor
cas- Pennyroyal, whose heart is as fresh
as her curls are false; it is the hungriest
fellow in the world. who sets every
mouth watering by his own appreciation
OF the good things of life; 1t is the awk
ward school-boy, blubbering over his
"piece" which he has to SPEAK, or grinniDe
delightedly over his first composition;
it Is the pitiiul, hroken-dowa gentleman,
who, too proud to beg, too honest to
steal doesn't somehow seem 10 get on
in the world, which he is as untitled as Q
baby to face; but last OF all, it is Mr.
Russell, with smile that Is sunshine and
voice that is music. The chameleon
cannot change Its color, the kaleidoscope
ITS figures, more quickly than Mr.. Rus
sell can alter his personality. Those
who have never seen him have a rare
treat in store for them; those who have
VIII never fail of improving an opportu'
nifty to hear him again"
