An amusing experience was told
me yesterday by one of the most
prominent railroad managers of the
/ western states, which on my promise
not to diVulge the names of the par
ties, | am permitted to give to the
public. Said the manager
A few years ago took charge of
| the--railroad in Texas, which at
! the time was in bad condition. For
several months l was kept very
busy in trying to bring order out of
chaos, and all my time had to be
devoted to the affairs of the road.
During certain hours / had given
orders that | was to be disturbed
under no circumstance, and my
clerk had instructions to admit no
one. One day during these hours
the following incident occurred: |
was very busy at my desk when the
door burst open, and a long, lank,
uncOuth, cadaverous-loOking Texan
stood before me. His hOme-spun
pants were tucked inside his dusty
cOw-hide boots, his rough face look
ed as through it had never seen a
razor, and his long, uncOmbed hair
streamed out from under a large
sOmbrerO down on his broad wiry
shoulders. He marched straight
up to my desk, and without taking
off his hat, said in gruff, quick
tone:
els Smith in ?"
l looked up in amaZement and re-
piled eyes sir that's my NAME"
"Well then cast your eyes on
that" said he slapping letter down
before me.
picked it up and read it, and
found it to be letter of introduce
ton saying the bearer was trurt-
worthy man who wanted work and
that it be given him.
AS | finished the letter, he again
broke out, "Well, Smith, can you
give me posish ?''
| waited a moment and said
"You appear to be quite forward
young man, and you want a posi-
ton. Now sir, don't you think
you would have stood better
chance of getting position if you
were more polite in your manner?
If you had knocked at the door, and
on being invited to enter, had come
in quietly, taken off your hat, and
asked if Mr.. Smith was in, and had
offered this letter, asking with
polite bow, will you have the
kindness to read this letter ?" If
you had done so, young man, don't
you think your proposition would
have been more favorably received
than your present action ?"
The young man looking at me
second, and then turned and left.
A moment after l heard knock at
the door. / said, "come in" Again
the same young man entered. Step
ping softly he came to the desk,
made an elaborate bow, and said
"HaVe | the honor of addressing
Mr.. Smith, the manager of the
?" / bowed and
said, Eyes, SIR"
He again bowed and handed me
the letter, asking me if / had leas-
ure to look over it.
/ took it, and again read it, and
then looked up, saying "This is
very complimenty letter, Mr..
What can do for you?"
Quick as q fash came the re-
spouse "You may go To-"
He then turned and left with
laugh.
/ saw there was something in the
man. / followed hun, called him
back and gave him a position. he
did his work well, and has siuee
been promoted, until he now occu-
pies one of the most responsible
and best-paying positions in my

rhe rTart-webber Concort.

The musical citizens Of Clarks-
Vile enjoyed a high privilege in
listening to the concert given by
the Hart Webber company on Fri.
day, the sth inst, and in the sing
| ing Of Mrs. Hart witnessed q display
OF vocalisn which has never been
equaled here and rarely surpassed
anywhere. The principal piece Sc
lected for the display OF her vocal
abilities was Venzano's waltz song.
This brilliant composition consists
of an alldoate movement as intro
duction. with a 5gdUmra in waltz
time as the leading feature. In the
andante was exhibited the large
and noble phrasing only to be
attained in the highest schools Of
musical art, and the eadenza which
closed it was masterpiece of vocal
display such as need only be at
tempted by those who stand in the
very first ranks among the queens
of song. 1t was executed by Mrs.
Hart without a flaw, aud without
even the appearance of effort. The
waltz movement which follows
flashes all over with tours de force
Of great beauty and of almost insu-
perable difficulty, but Mrs. II. sport
ed with them as freely as a child
plays with its. toys, and was yet
never a hair's-breadth out of either
tune or time. A scale of trills in
chromatic succession was as aston
ishing as it was beautiful. Being
encored, she selected by way of con-
trast pathetic song of the utmost
simplicity, and gave as much, If
not more, delight to her hearers by
her touching sadness of expression
than by the daring brilliancy of her
first piece.
Her solo in the second part was
Blumenthals song, "My Queen"
which combined in a single effort
the opposite merits of brilliant ex-
ecution and delicate expression, and |
all these qualities were again man
ifested in the concerted pieces which
she performed with the young gen
tlemen of the troupe.
Miss Mary Weber, is a perfect
mistress of what may be called the
feminine school of piano playing,
for there is a feminine as well as
school. The character
istics of the former consist of exquis-
tie finish in execution and a delicate
perception of the finer shades of ex-
in both which features
Miss Webber is a thoroughly ac-
complished Grtiste. Her favorite
composer is Gottschalk, in whose
nlorceaur, alternately sport
i've and tender, her fairy fingers
reveled, surmounting all difficulties
with such facility that the nearer
was beguiled into forgetting that
they were difficulties at all.
We have left ourselves scarcely
any space for the very creditable
performance of the young gentle
men who supplemented the per-
formance of the ladies. Messrs.
Sawrie and Davis are all
quite young and avow themselves
to bG at the commencement of their
career. The are all singers
Of great promise, and as their voices
are developed and their method is
by severe training, will
in all probability take position
among the best of our public sing
ars. We are informed they are pu-
pills of Mrs. Hart.
We are thankful to this accom-
plished troupe for very delightful
evenings entertainment.

To-day we had political discus
sion here by our worthy nominee
Rufus N. Rhodes, and mis- opponent,
Louis G. Munford, OF the so-called
''low-tax" party, but better known
in this community as the repsdiot-
ing party. The discussion began at
about Il a. m, and lasted about p
hours. Mr.. Rhodes took the stand
first, and gave in his usual heroic
and eloquent way a full and truth
full statement of the state debt ques-
ton, and appealed to the honor Of
the citizens who had congregated
to hear him to save our states cred
it, and by so doing unite the demo-
cratic party and leave the "bolters"
to mourn over the sad fate which is
surely awaiting them at the coming
election.
Mr.. Munford's address was brief,
Of course, as he had no grounds on
earth wherein to place his argu-
ments. The principal thing at
which he appeared to be drifting
was social rites and of course one
would infer from the general tenor
of his remarks that he had as soon
stir up strife between the whites
and blacks as to keep down such
and thereby promote the peace and
happiness 50 essential to the welfare
of any country.
One remark Mr.. Munford made
cannot help speaking of, and it is
simply this: Mr.. Munford said
that no one in this county ever paid
any taxes on railroad bonds prior to
the war. Mr.. T. J. Frey, of dis
trict No. 5, tells me that he has re-
ceipts bearing the dates 1859 and '61 |
which show very plainly to a man
who is not blind that he paid taxes
on railroad bonds and that before
the war.

probably not reach 100 hhds. The market
was duh, languid feeling prevailing.
Most of the orders have been filled, but pri-
ces were well sustained, the offerings being
small. The weather has continued very ia
vorable for the small tobacco in the field.

had if planters had let their tobacco stand

THE speaking on the public
square on Saturday evening, turned
out to be rather farce than a seri-
our affair; it had been announced
that Col. Savage would address the
people on the occasion, and that
Col. Albert Akers would reply to
him. The crowd who were out was
not much disposed for i serious
argument on either side, the truth
was, that nine-tenths Of those out
were young men who had been
closely confined to their business oe-
equations all the week and were
bent on ii little fun by way Of relax
alton. 1t may be imagined, there
fore, that they were not disposed for
very patient hearing OF the plati-
tude of Col. Savage, especially when
his speech extended to the length
of over two hours and Il half Vari-
Gus inarticulate noise accordingly
broke in upon the continuity of the
discourse, from time to time good
deal of which, however, was heard
by small ring Of negroes immedi-
ately around the stand. One thing
that made the boys impatient, was
that they desired to hear Col. Akers,
and the intention of Col. Savage was
evidently to speak against. time, so
as to prevent the other gentleman
from speaking. When, therefore,
it became evident that no oppor-
tunity was to be afforded for reply,
a second stand was extemporized
for Col. Akers, and as soon as it was
ready that gentleman was called |
upon to occupy it, the body of the
crowd forming around him, while a
small minority was left to hear the
end (if the end could be reacbed) of
Col. speech.
For some time, therefore, the two
were speaking from different parts
of the square. We feel bound to say
that neither secured a very atten-
tive audience, though Col. Akers
said some good things, and said
them well.
After these two gentlemen had
closed, they were followed by
Messrs. Munford and Rhodes, the
former from Col. Savage's stand, the
latter from that of Col. Akers.
Argument was out of the ques-
ton, the crowd was tired by this
time as well as restless, and soon

ing about politics on the market
square on a Saturday night.

/ went on and came near to the
Dead Sea. The waters stretched
deeply into the southern desert, and
before me and all around, as far as
the eye could follow, blank hills
over hills, pale, yellow and naked,
walled up in her tomb forever the
dead and damned Gomorrah.
There was no fly that hummed in
the forbidden air, but instead deep
stiffness no grass grew from the
earth, no weed peered through the
void sand but, in mockery of all
life, there were trees borne down by
Jordan in some ancient flood, and
these, grotesquely planted upon the
forlorn shore, spread out their grim
skeleton arms, all sc0rched and
charred to hlackness by the heats Of
the long, silent years.
