Mrs. Barton at Richmond.

From the Richmond State, of last Friday
we clip the following:
The inclement weather kept away the
usual crowd from the Mozart. but the audi
ence present enjoyed rich programme, and
gave evidence of their appreciation by fire.
quent applause The most attractive fea-
ture of the evening was the vocal perform
ance of Mr.. Alvin Barton, of Knoxville,
who sang in duet with Mr.. Bernard. The
first vocal number was a selection from Yer.
dis . Macbeth, with orchestral accompa-
niment. Mrs. Barton's clear soprano voice
and artistic method made splendid i'm
preston, and the audience forced an en-
core, Mrs. Barton rendering III most exqui-
site style, Schubert's "Serenade." The
second vocal number on the programme
- Una Notte dAmore by Mrs. Barton
and Mr.. Bernard, was superb. Mr. Ber-
nard also made hit
An effort will be made to induce Mrs
Barton to remain in Richmond another week
and sing at the next Mozart.
Mrs. Barton's host of friends in Knox
vile will hear of her success in Richmond
with pleasure, but not with surprise. Mr.
Bernard, with whom she performed the
duet, as noticed above, is fine tenor, large
ly known. but Mrs. Barton suffered nothing
in comparison, even with him

me to give them my support. With

PARIS, June 8.-Count de Houpet,
life Senator, is dead.
LONDON, June 9.-The rumor that
Father Murphy, of Schulz, had been
arrested proves to be unfounded,
but it threw the people into vio-
lent state of ferment. Thousands
of men and women crowded into the
village of Schulz, wrecked the police
station and postofice, tore down the
telegraph wires and cut up portions
of the road. The excitement was
taken up by the people of Skib-
beren, who, at last accounts, were
engaged in a, fearful riot. They
wrecked the house of a car-owner
who had supplied cars to the police.
Their Indignation became unbound
ed when they discovered that a
special train, with 800 militia, had
been sent from Cork, and they tore
down the telegraph wires to Dilly-
dehab
A Standard dispatch from Cork
says Billydehab and Schulz are in
accessible by the ordinary roads,
which are broken up and the bridges
are torn down. Five hundred foot~
soldiers, twenty dragons and seven
ty service-corps men, with one gun,
have been sent to the scene from the
west.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Skibboren says Father Murphy has
given no definite intimation of his
arrest to the public, fearing a
collision with the police, but
the grounds for suspecting that
he is under arrest are very strong.
He was seen with the police several
times on Monday, when document
of some kind was handed to him.
A force has been sent into the
disturbed district, fully provisioned
for month.
Great preparations are making for

The people of Memphis have al
ways had our sympathies. The city
owes a large debt, and it's payment
in full would prove heavy burden
We do not understand, however, that
the creditors of the city expect this
But we have never regarded the re-
peal of the laws Incorporating the
city, and changing from city to a
taxing district" as the proper
thing to do. The object was to get
rid of the payment of a debt. The
supreme court has decided that
change of name does not accomplish
this result. We trust now that her
creditors will be liberal, and that the
debt will be provided for and settled.
1t is a matter in which all the people
of Tennessee are interested.
The following from the New York
Tribune contains statement, new,
perhaps, to many of our readers;
During the past week the births in
this city numbered 422 and the
deaths $50. This discrepancy is
rather greater than the average, but
there is always a marked difference
between the two figures. The me-
tropolis, like all large cities, is an
enormous consumer of human life,
and would soon become depopulated
if it did not constantly draw upon
the rural districts for a supply of
fresh blood. The deaths in a year
exceed the births by about 10000
Looked at in one light the city
is an Unsuitable devourer of vital
forces and demands from the country
10000 human beings every year to
appease its appetite. Its victims are
sacrificed in a thousand ways, by
0verwork in the strife for bread, by
overworry in the mad struggle for
gain by poisoned air, unwholesome
food, vile drinks and adulterated
drugs, and perhaps most of all by
the great friction, tension and COM
petition of city life, wearing out the
human machine too rapidly and caus
ing it to break down prematlrely.
Civilization has yet to solve the prob
lem Of making the city as healthy as
the country.

various places, few from the North and
Il few from England and Scotland, who
work 400 looms and 1900 spindles. Ia
cotton these mills consume daily from
eighteen TO twenty bales, besides an en-

mostly from the Florida parishes Of

their facilities for the raw material are
without doubt unsurpassed and they can
thus underSell all others. Their savings
in freight, having to pay none at all,
amount to seven or eight dollars per

The mills are now running day and
night, using the Brush electric lights
making the building as bright as day.
The night hands are separate and distinct
from those that work in the day. All
hands work harmoniously together.
There has never been a strike nor any
threats of such a thing. There is no col

to manage the looms and spindles. The

if the air were balmy and laden with the

Agricultural In Chill.
South America Gallcnga.

Q
Much of the hnproyident method of
agriculture in the Vale of Chill" is as
cribed to the fact that the land original
ly taken from the indigenous races by
right Of conquest, was allotted to a few
great proprictors, whose descendants have
held and still hold enormous estates,
passing from generation to generation,
from father 10 son, and that these. being
assured Of permanent aflluence, were sat
isiied with such revenue as might be got
from the land with the least possible
trouble or expense. The class of these
wealth hacendados, or landowners, have
been looked upon as the bane of Chill,
as fatal to this country rs the Borghese,
the Chigi the Barberini, and other
princes are, or were, to the untitled Ro-
man Campagna; like these perpetuating
the evil by those laws of primogeniture
which tended to concentrate all proper
ty, as well as the government of the
country, in the interested hands of few
privileged families.
