MISS LULLE CLAY BEGBLE.

The most pleasant entertainment that
MorrIstown audience has wisnesseo
since Bouhan's last visit. vas Civ
en- in this place Monday night of last
week at the Masonic school building,
by the lady whose name heads this ar
ticle. She appeared in series of read
ings from the selections of the most
eminent authors of the day-both HUI
morous and pathetic. Miss Begble is
certainly entitled to the high horers she
has wen in the elocutionary field. She
is lady possessing rare elooutionsry
powers and has perfect control of her
voice-compassing it at her viii. As
an eloeutionist she is success, and is
among the best that we have ever heard.
Little Jim" was a pathetic recitation,
in which she poured her soul-stirring
passion into the subject in manner in
describable and which spcli-bound the
audience. "Mrs. Caudle's Lecture" was
humorous-rising from the sublime TO
the ridiculeus-and carried the house
with roars of laughter. In this she ex-
celled we thought. The Charcoal
Man" was rendered well. The Raven"
was rendered with originality and force,
impressing the audience with the SUI
periority of her conception of the au-
thor's ideas Of his character. Miss Beg
bie's appearance in MoIristown delight
ed those who heard her, and she left
fine impression upon their minds as
lady of accomplished literary attain
ments. A werd more: The costume
in which she made her debut was an
elegant black silk dress, deliberately
combined with jet and velvet trimmings,
and would have graced a queen.

COL. ". Il. HENDERSON.

Col. ,Wm, A. Henderson, of Knox
vile, was nominated by the late con.
vention at Knoxville as Senator. from
the Fourth district, composed of the
counties of Granger, Union, And.
ersen and Knox The selection of
Col. Hentfefson was a most sensible
one. He deservedly ranks as one of
the ablest lawyers and, best speak
ers in the district; and one Of the
most effective workers for the inter
ests OF the people On all the ques-
tons of the day affecting the honor
Of the State and the interests of her
citizens he is as true as tho needle
to the-pele. His husts-of friends in
Granger county will greet his-nom-
nation with enthusiasm-an enthu
siasm that will set them earnestly
to work to give him a full vote. BY
it he can be erected-without it lie
cannot. Go to work and secure the
election Of Col. Henderson.

We had the pleasure last week of maxi
ing the acquaintance of Prof. Chas. w.
Binsfeldt, an agreeable and intelligent
German who has been residing at our
neighboring village, Whitesburg, since
last March. In course of conversation
with him, we regretted to learn that he
had been roughly treated at that place
by set Of lawless reughs who infest
the town and who have rocked his house
repeatedly. He informed US that he had
determined to remove his family to
Morristewn where they could live and
receive the protection of the civil law
of the land This is not the first in
stance that we have heard of the houses
of peaceable and quiet citizens of
Whitesburg being rocked. Recently at
that place the house of Rev. Mr.. Self re-
ceived terrific shower of stones from
the hands of a dastardly set of law vio-
lators and peace-breakers. We trust all
who may be concerned in these disturb
ances at Whitesburg may be discovered
and have the full penalty of the law in
flicted upon them. 1t is a disgrace to
any community to tolerate such unbe.
coming conduct on the part of its citI-
zens, and speaks lily of its civil gov
eminent.
