that was to have taken place this
morning between Jas. Banon Hope,
editor of the Norfolk Landmark, and
Col. VIM. Lamb; mayor of Norfolk,
was prevented by the arrest Of
Mayor Lamb just as he was leaving
his house for the place of meeting,
about fifteen miles from here on the
North Carolina boundary line, near
Great Bridge.
The arrest was made at 4 o'clock
as Mayor Lamb was entering a
row boat at his private landing. He
was taken before a magistrate and
bound over to keep the peace in a
bond of $4,000. Capt. Hope elu-
ded the police and reached the
rendezvous. He will return to the
city to-day and give bond to OBJ
serve the peace.

Mr.. EDITOR: Yesterday was a big
day in Jonesboro. John Robinson's
great show brought together very
large crowd. Some say as large as was
ever In the place. Many of Us ex-
pec'ed trouble, but everything passed
off quietly. There was no drinking.
We seldom have better order. - H-r
We have heard it estimated that
there were thirty~five hundred per-
cons in the show, but we think that
estimate is too high. The show hardly
gave satisfaction, but, upon the whole,
1t was about an average. One can
hardly expect anything more at q
place like Joneeboro--a small town.
The republicans took steps last Mon.
day to organize Garfield and Arthur
club. The organization will be COM
pleted next Monday evening, at which
time we expect a rOusing meeting
The republicans were never in better
working order, in better spirits.
They see victory in the distance and
will work for it. The prospect il
bright all along the line. CIvIs

liua:
1--WE thank our accomplished super
intendent Of education for literary
fessts 80 lsvishly given, especially for
the privilege of having with US Prof.
Joynes, of the University of Tennes-
see. In the course of admirable iec-
lures on the Euglish language, as " ell
as socially, the Profess has fully sus-
tanned the fine reputation that pre-
ceded him-"one ofthe truest, most
elegant geDtlemsn-the most learned
of scholars -.-, .
Trusting to his marvellous resources,
the Doctor did not hesitate to give to
a critical audience the dry subject of
our "birth topgue;n yet, in u style free,
flowing, earnest and elegant, he easily
and eloquently enforced the beauty
and dignity of his theme. At all times
| mindful OF the professional, he pa
tiently elaborated the trite aud the abs
stract even to the petty details, yet with
| an exquisite freshness, simplicity and
earnestness that never weayied, but
charmed while instructing.
Then, the more forcibly to. unfold,
| illustrate and impress, he makes cap
tive the Language he lauds, and. with
a masters hand, compels it to bow and
| bend in all it's sullen f1exibility, TO do
his bidding. Else, there was surely
magic in the word-painting that
brought to the ear, the tones of frisky
France, grotesque Germany, stately
Spain and tuneful Italy, as one by one,
they were critically marshaIled over
the stage; then logically forced to yield
reluctant supremacy to that imperial
tongue that must inevitably voice the
civilized world.
But space forbids longer lingering
over the tempting banquet, and we
now tender grateful acknowledg-
ments to the learned professor for dis
| closing the genius and wealth of our
mother.tongue, to many Of us. too long
/ buried in barren ignorance.
The lecturer received rich applause
In the sustained attention of cultured
audiences; a cheering tribute in the
ready termination of reeds OF lore SO

say even more than that for MIR.
Reeder. he had kept himself out
