An ExtrnYngnnt rInn.

Detroit Free Press.l
While nurse girl was yesterday
drawing a babe along Alfred street
she was approached by a queer looking
old chap, whose mouth was working as
if he wanted to bite somebody. He
halted the cab, chuckled to the child,
and finally said to the nurse
[ used to be just such little angel
myself Dear me, how | want to kiss
him "
But you can't, " replied the girl
l didn't expect to for nothing, of
course" he continued, feeling in his
pocket " Here is twenty-five cents,
young miss | used to have to pay half
a dollar for kissing EN-, but babies
are down now, long with everything
else"
She looked around, took the money,
told him to wipe off his mouth,
and he gave the child a smack which
sounded like a dish-pan starting for
down cellar. An old lady came around
the corner as he Strengthened up, and
in response to the sharp look she gave
him, the old man explained Been
kissing the baby-sweet's honey
nicern ice-cream-paid two shillings.
"What2 she demanded.
He again explained. " Well, you
must have lots Of money, OF else you're
a lunatic!" " she growled. Pay two
shillings to kiss little young un lik,
| that, when you might have kissed my
whole family, and the dog to boot, fo
fifteen cents No wonder you have t.
wear old clothes "

had been said about their old neigh
Dor in the excited times of '64, when
the great tragedies of the war were
drawing to a close. War is terrible
business at best, especially civil war
There were many terrible things done
during our war, and they were not
confined to one side either. Human
nature is very much the same in all
countries. The Southern people acted
about the same as the same number of
Northern people would have done if
positions could have been exchanged.
As a general rule, the white people of
the South have accepted the esituationin
good faith, and have earnestly gone to
work to repair their losses and build
up the country. The daily press, the
members of congress and other leading
men give moderate advice, and the
controlling classes endeavor to sustain
law and order, and give everybody a
fair chance. Here in Tennessee the
Democrats tax themselves to sustain
cOlored schools. The race is improy-
ing some, and affairs are as peaceable
and harmonious as possible. If the
editor of the journal were to
come down here and travel about
the country he would find the
people, white and black, attending to
their every day business as Industrious
ly as the people of Michigan or any
other State, If this talented gentle
man would lay aside his partisan spec
tacleS and look at things as they are
and go to work to promote good feel
ing and mutual respect between the
sections his fine powers and opportun-
tiles would be turned to splendid ac.
count.

APrimn Donna ina Pet.

New York Special to the Chicago Times.
Minnie Hauck, heprima donna, and
Colonel MaplesOn, the operate mana
ger, have had a serious falling out.
The young lady was advertised to sing
in concert at Booths Theater on Sun
day night, but she failed to appear,
and disappointed large audience.
Mr.. Mapleson," said Miss Hauck to-
night, wishes me to sing at Sunday
evening concerts. | claim Sunday for
myself, and refused to comply with his
wishes. Our contract was made in
England, where Sunday is never in.
cluded in contracts of this kind. With
reference to Sunday nights concerts,
when | heard | was announced, | pro
tested against it. The very day after
the protest, last Tuesday, | was an
nounced. Then | wrote to Mr.. Maple
son, asking him to favor me by with
drawing my name. Still the announce
ment was unchanged On Friday |
wrote to him again, but to no pur-
pose. On Sunday morning | wrote
for the third time, and went into the
country to spend the day. So you
see he had fair warning, and he alone
was responsible for the disappoint-
ment of the public. For my part, l
would never disappoint the public.
Mr.. Mapleson knows this well, and he
thought he could impose upon me,
but he cannot. Now they have an
nounced me to sing at Ole Bulls CON
cert on Saturday, but informed Mr..
Mapleson three weeks ago | should
not do it, for reasons which he under
stands. Artists of my rank never
assist anyone. l have always been
and always shall be the leading at
traction at a concert, or shall not APP
per at all. So | shall not sing on
Saturday, however much Mr.. Maple
son may announce me, and | shall
never sing on Sunday unless byspecial
contract
Colonel Mapleson says he fined
Miss Hauck weeks salary, in ac-
cordance with the terms of the con-
tract, for disobedience, and has billed
her to sing twice next Sunday,
Should she disobey again she will be
liable to a fine of two week salary,
and if a third time her engagement
may be cancelled.

Lest our article of yesterday should
unduly prejudice the public mind in
regard to thisgentleman, we will state
that he was one of the most faithful
and efficient of the Howard physi-
clans. This is the testimony of DR..
Mitchell and various members of the
Howard Association. He is withal a
very genial and estimable gentleman,
who stands high among his profess
sional brethren and the people. The
statements we made came from parties
who assured us of their correctness.
The home physicians We learn were
not furnished with board and horses
and buggies. The bill against Smith
as revised, seems to have been very
high at last, though it is claimed by
his attorney that when payment was
resisted he concluded to sue for al
that was in sight. We hope the ply
sicians will be moderate in theil
charges and appeal rather to the gen.
erous feelings of their patients than tC
legal measures.
