A Pleasant and Successful Enter.
taInment.

The concert and entertainment given at
Masonic Temple last evening by the Young
Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Society, for the
benefit of the Savannah Female Orphan
Asylum, was grand and pleasant success.
The hall was filed to its capacity, and even
the gallery was crowded. A very excellent
programme was presented, two numbers of
which, however, through unavoidable cir
cumstances, being omitted. The bone
solo by Master Nathaus, with piano accom-
pauiment, was very finely given and
received with applause. "Asleep at
the Switch" was effectively and pleasinglY
recited by Miss Solomons. The duet,
"Take them, implore thee" by the Misses
Lszaroa, and the SOLO, "Waltz EcstacY,"
by Mrs. johnson, we're sung in style that
elected the warmest plaudits from the de-
lighted and sppreciatiVe audience. Miss
Berg most capitally recited "Little Girls
View of Life in a Hotel" The musical
contributions by Mrs. Loeb and Mrs. Fried
enberg were most pleasing features of the
evening. Miss Lilienthal recited with fine
effect ''Blacksmith's Story" and Miss Ferst
sang very sweetlY and in excellent
tune, "My Little Darling" which was
happy finale to charming and successful
entertainment.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-12-29

y DELEGATION OF the iron manu-
lecturers OF Pen nsylvania called on
Secretary Folger few days ago to
induce, if possible, change of ru-
ling in respect TO duties TO be
charged on iron ties. Secretary
Sherman, when in Office, ruled that
iron cotton ties, under the act of
congress, came under the class of
manufactures not otherwise pro-
vided forH and hence were liable to
pay duty of thirty-fiye per cent.
The iron manufacturers, however,
claim that iron ties should be
classed as 'hoop iron," and hence
pay a duty of seventy per cent.
Should the ruling asked by the
iron manufacturers be made, about
II cents per bale would be added to
the cost of baling cotton, which, on
an aggregate crop of 100000 bales,
would amount to $720,00O annually.
AS the agriculturists of the United
States receive, comparatively, very
little protection at the hands of the
government, in justice to the cotton
growers of the south, the ruling of
Secretary Sherman should stand as
a permanency. III case there is
room for doubt as to the intent of
congress in enacting the clause re-
ferred to, the cotton growers should
have the benefit of the doubt. No
conclusion as to the matter has yet
been stated.

a few days ago, he and some Texans
attempted to induce certain east
