Bleak House.

From unexplained causes the audi
ence at the opera house was only of
medium -siza last night, and totally
incommensurate with the merits of
the combination. Whatever may be
said of the dramatization Of Bleak
House it certainly does net give
Madame Janauschek. an opportunity
to exhibit to their utmost her wonder
full powers for the portrayal of hui
man feeling. Somo Of the minor
characters were as we'll drawn as
that of Lady Deadlock. But with even
the unsatisfactory chances Madame
Janauschek demonstrated herself
every inch polished, careful, talented
actress. Her instant change from the
markedly different characters, Lady
Dsdlock and Hortense, could only be
the outcropping of positive genius.
In the one, she was 8 naughty, self
possessed, patrician lady and in the
other a vehement, unrestrained
French maid, with the impetuosity
and deformity of her nature Increased
by the consciousness of her faDcied
wrongs.
There was quite an infusion of The
comic in the play, all of which was
relished as an accompaniment OF the
grief and woe Of the theme. The
modern funky was an excellent piece
of stage expression, and William
Guppy, the lawyers client, with the
himage on his 'art," literally
brought down the house.
Tonight "Mother and Son." a beau
tiful play adapted from the German
will be produced. This is something
new and, no doubt will draw well
and no one will leave unsatistied if the
two previous nights can be taken as
examples OF. the great merits of the
combination.

The First Railroad convention.
Athens Post.

The first railroad convention in the
interest of a projected line from
Charleston, South Caroline, to Cincin-
natl, via Knoxville and Louisville,
was held at Knoxville in July, 1887.
Hon. Robert Y. Hayne was president
of the convention, and the crowd
present was large. The proceedings
Of the convention were printed in
pamphlet form at the office of Messre.
Ramsey and Craighead, then publish-
ers of the old Knoxville Register. Our
old friend, Hiram Barry, was foreman
of the office, and the editor of this pa
per put the proceedings in type and
done the press work on the pamphlets,
three thousand copies of which were
printed. Gen. Hayne remained at
Knoxville several days after the con-
vention adjourned to supervise the
proof-shests, which he did not seem
willing t) trust t) any one else. He
was a gentleman of fine presence and
favorably impressed every one he NIT.
Ten wears ater-1S47-anotherl large
railroad convention was held in Knox
vile, but the germ referred to by Col.
| Cole in his opera house speech was
planted in 1887 by men who foresaw
| at that early day the importance of a
connection by rail between the waters
of the Ohio and the south Atlantic
coast. Had their plans been carried
out within a reasonable time much OF
the evil that has eince Mapped would
have been avoided, and the south to-
day have been more prosperous and
happy :han it is. But there were
plenty of fools then t. oppose every
wise and benefcent measure, just as
there are now and as there will be to
the end.

A weak Insurance Ca,apAny.

ErOa the Portland papers we learn that
the Oregon Mutual Fire Insurance Company
has at last ceased to exist. Il was first what
is termed ''mutual" company, but as that
did not seem TO work very well Il was a few
months ago changed into stock company,
and now has gone under altogether for the
reason, as the managers say that our State is
too sparsely settled, and that there are SO
many large foreign and eastern companies in
tho field that small home companies must 60
to the wall That ia not tho whole secret,
Men who insure largely and baYe consequent,
ly investigated the matter, are perfectly
swars 0i the fact that a small company which
has all its risls in only one or two States can
not afford such perfect security to its patrons
as can company which has its risks scat
tered all over the Union or all eyert the globe
The greater the field Of operations the moro
security is afforded to patrons.
