ing the small debt of 500 there has lately been an

TALL INTERVIEW,
A Talk with a Nine-Sfory Chinaman by
Our Six.FoOt-SIx Reporter.

The SiX-foot-six reporter of THE Re-
PUBLICAN was ordered to interview Chang, the
greatest of ali the giants, and who is, without
doubt the most remarkable of all the giant attrac-
tons of Barnum's monster combination. Chang
converses in twenty languages. Having the adj
vantage of the reporter by nineteen languages the
conversation was conducted in English. The in
terview began in this way:
"Mr. Chang, allow me, the giant of The REPUB-
LIcAN reporters, to get the use of your ear for a
moment. First, allow me to welcome you to the
city"
Chang smiled. and, after remarking that he was
tired sitting down, having just arrived from New
York, he said he preferred to stand up. Standing
on chair the reporter proceeded to ask him what
he thought of the city, that being the usual ques
ton to start OFF with

fore go away. 1 am certain, however, to see
great number of its people. The giants lot is not
particular happy one Though 1 have been in
all the great cities of the world, have seen but
little of them, except their people Ny managers
have a way of keeping me under canvas
or indoors, which prevents me from seeing as
much of cities as would like. 1t has always been
my desire since 1 have been in this country to
visit Washington and see the public buildings
some of which. the Capitol in particular, being the
greatest structures in the world"
Wnat Is your exact nelSnl! aSheQ the scribe.
"You will have to excuse Chang answering that
question" put in DR.. Dave Thomas, the press
agent for he has never been measured. 1t is
of the superstitions OF his country that measuring
the height of q man brings one bad luck
"rll say this" interrupted Chang, without an
swering your question directly, and that is, the
man or woman does not now, or never did, live,
that we have any record of, that cannot or could
not look over the top of his head; and he or she
would not have TO stoop down, either. Say, can
you explain this? How is it" Git had just began
to rain little them THAT rain always follows

The reporter said he would have to give it up
though he had often noticed the connection at

the President before leave the city, and also visit
the Executive Mansion. The President has prom
ised to call on at the show. and of course will
return the CALI The reporter then got
down from the chair, and made a
survey of the giant. He is the best
formed of the giants that has ever been on
exhibition, is well educated, and is besides
wealthy man, having extensive tea stores in Hong
Kong. Paris, and elsewhere, besides having an in
terest in a similar establishment in New York. He
receives salary of 500 per day. His special de-
light is playing with children.

Who Was She.

Over her bosom was a fichu of lace,
laid over the shoulders and crossing in front; a
bunch of red flowers was fastened at her belt he.
abundant black hair was brushed back with we'll
counterfeited negligence; the toes of her extended
reet were stuck into embroidered sandals and her
stockings were a true flesh color. glorious
creature she looked, truly she lay there in her
studied carelessness of fnery. But what 1 ser out
to say was that incense was burning at her side.
Yes fragrant smoke was rising lazily from an in
Generating pastile in bronze dish. This is new
freak of the girls. The scent bottle is put aside
aud rooms and clothes are perfumed with incense.
Ifthe practice lasts long the cannibal who eats a
fashionable girl will find her smoked through and
through like ham, but great deal spicier.-

AyIrg.nia RAILROAD Extended.

The directors of the Virginia Midland
Railroad at their meeting in Baltimore last Satur-
day. definitely decided to extend the road from
Danville, Va, via MooreSville, n. C. with con-
nection to Charlotte) to SpartanSburg, S. C. The
North Carolina Midland Railroad has secured

surveyed and located, and, commencing at DAN
vile, will run along the Dan River southwesterly
to LeeksviIle, n. c.; theuce to Madison to Walnut
Cove to Winston, to MoeksYille to Mooresville, to
Spartansburg S. c. Mr.. Robert Garrett officially an
nouneed thatthe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany was willing to subscribe its just quota toward
the construction of the road. Colonel j. s. Barbour
stated that at least $4,000 had been positively
pledged by the citizens of North Carolina on con-
dition that the city of Baltimore and the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad would contribute amounts
proportionate to the great benefits to be derived
by them from the extension. and had no doubt
that the subscriptions would be largely increased
1t was decided to undertake the work OF building
the road as for south as Walnut Cove, n. c., dis
lance of fifty miles from Danville the total length
being 135 miles. Is was stated that the probable
cost of carrying the road that far would be about
$4,000, or $4,000 per mile; and resolution was
passed pledging the Virginia Midland supply ali
the necessary capital for the purpose not secured

FoRD's oPERA-HoUsE.
Miles Juvenile Opera Company, an organization
which has been quite successful during the past
season, will appear at Fords Opera House to-mOr-
row evening, in the Chimes of Normandy" The
Norfolk FiFginidn thus says of the troupe: ave
have rarely enjoyed anything so much as we did
the acting OF the charming and wiD,sihg Miss Jen-
ME Dunn, who impeBGa:...ed SeypOlehe. She pos
sesses very eetaind pathetic voice, and one of
extensive Compass. Miss Allie Cohen, GeTmdine,
va excellent, and Miss Ida De Court acted her
part most creditably, and her voice was win
some as her ways. Master Augustus Collins, as the
Marquis, was every inch the character he essayed.
He possesses a voice of much promise. Master
Arthur Dunn, as the Baaif, was capital. Master
Henry Wheeler. as Gaspdrd, did well, and
thoroughly understood his part"
THE YALE GLEE CLUB
This organization will give concert at Lincoln
Hall to- night. They have met with great success,
both musicary and financially, during their
present tour and the programme is most attract
lively arranged. The New York Herald in noticing
concert by this club at Chickering Hail. says:
= Every number was rendered with precision and
taste, and the voices were excellent, aording evil
dence of long training and artistic culture Mr. F.
P Chamberlain, one of the students, warbled like
a born Tyrolese, and Mr.. w. C. Assay especially in
the Yeoman's Wedding Song displayed qualities
of baritone voice of which even professional
might feel proud. MI. J. F. Merrill very effectively
sang a serenade by Geible, and a quartette COM
posed of Messrs. Merrill, Lewis, Assay, and Osborn
rendered the beautiful song by Koschat, Deserted
Anil The really attractive features ofthe even
ing, however, were the quickly moving, lively
college songs, given in chorus. These were all
heartily encored, and no audience ever left
Chickering Hall with a greater expression of
pleasure"
