Among the curious discoveries made
by the census department In its inqui-
ries into the subject of manufactures is
that one manufacturer of Brooklyn
employs old shoes in making Jamaica
rum. They are diluted with spirits,
colored with burnt sugar and then
sold rs the fine brands of rum. Ithas
long been known that molasses, or
rather what is known rs golden
syrup" was made from old rags; but
this conversion of old shoes into liquor
is an entirely novel and 10y no means
pleasant discovery.-N. o. Democrat.

The following absurd paragraph
found its way into our columns last
week:
"The fuel famine has been very bad
i'm Jackson, also, for the last few weeks
but we have not heard of any one so
kind as to furnish the poor with wood
without the money"
How this statement got into these
columns we are not quite able to say.
1t could not have been written by the
editor or the lOcalizer, because it is in
direct opposition to the knowledge of
both. We know of several instances
Of generous liberality on the part of
some of our citizens. But why our
neighbor of the Baptist should skip
moral precepts of THE COMET to seize
upon this sureptitious paragraph as
text upon which to read us n little
chunk of II sermon. is Il thing that we
can't understand. Here is the absurd
comment of the Baptist on this alb
surd trilie:
Doubtless. Those who are so kind as to
do deeds of benevOlcnce do not usually
tell of such deeds, when they do, the deed
looses its benevolent character. We trust
that our neighbor did not intend to east II
slur upon the real christian spirit of our
people, but such is the effect of the para
graph quoted, and just in this way people
are educated to regard the religion OF pro-
fessed christians as Il form without II soul.
IL our neighbOr had sought for informa-
ton among those who would be likely to
need such help, they might have told him
his kind permission,we would suggest that If
IL Is the duty of any one else to furnish the
poor with fuel, il is his duty rs well. and If
he does he will certainly know one who has
helped the poor.
We are unable to see what the par
agraph has to do with "the christian
spirit of our people" or how it cou'd
educate them into soulless form of
religion, Our benignant neighbor has
evidently got choked on gnat.
Regarding the last line of his lee
ture, we can truthfully say that we
have labored hard, and succeeded to
some extent in furnishing wood to the
poor during the late inclement
weather--the poor little idols of our
household.

Between three and four. hundred per-
sons present at the Opera House to
give n fitting reception and welcome
TO our city of the great violin artist,
Camilla Uiso, and the Mcndelss0hn
Quintettc Club, # Boston. Our clti-
zens are proverbial lovers and appre
ciators of classical and superb music,
and on this occasion their eXpecta-
tions were ful y realized. Everything
on the programme was of the highest
aud most difficult order, yet the closest
application of the ear could not detect
the slightest want of harmony in the
most complex cords. Madam Urs0's
execution on the violin il certainly
superior to anything since the days of
Ole Bull. Her touch is wonderfully
delicate and perfect, sending out tones
full, round and sweet. The vocal
powers of Miss Nellini fairly captivat-
ed the entire audience. Both these
ladies were so heartily encored that
they were compelled to present them
selves to quell the enthusiasm. Mr..
Shades silver flute solo, Mr.. Geese's
solo, and Mr.. Ryan with
the clarionette, were all, probably,
superior to any similar performers
ever before heard in Jackson. Ourpeo-
Pile, no doubt, feel complimented by
the coming of this company among
them, and the artists themselves
should feel equally complimented by
an audience which evidenced its APP
probation by its rapt attention.
