the boys and he pitched into Romeo.
while the crowd stood back and urged
him to give it to him for insulting him.
Romeo went down i'm the battle, and
when his adversary was done with him
he was completely demolished. His
red coat was torn to shreds, his nose
bit of, his ewes gouged out. and his
cheeks smashed in. The pieces were
gathered up and laid away behind the
bar, and the miners went on with their

tones:

Ofsyour beloved Romeo. He would
run with the boys last night, and
would drink, and would fight, and
this is what is left of him."
The actress gazed at the figure a

stage attitude, and gave a scream
that brought rush to the dining
room. She fell upon Romeo. and be-

'ROMEO AND JULIET

Greeted the eyes of the Deer Lodg-
ers at every turn the next day, and
some of the bills found their way
into the nearest mining camp, ten
miles away. The theatre was all the
rage. The price o. admission was
fixed at one dollar, which was next
to nothing in those days. and the
large hall was jammed with an anx-
ious audience long before the curtain
rose.
1t seemed days to that fretful mass
of people before the time came to get
a sight of what was in waiting behind
the black muslin curtain. At last
the bell jingled ''all ready" The
curtain slid hurriedly to one side.
Fora quarter Of a minute after the
stage was exposed you could have
heard canary feather drop. Then
there came one spontaneous outburst
that shook the very ground the build
ing stood on. There was nobody in
sight but Romeo He was the most
forlorn-looking lover that ever ap-
peared upon any stage. He stood
slantwise to the audience. a wild,
vacant stare in his eyes, like a dead
man looking off into the other world.

THE MAyORALTY.

Let there be Mass Meeting and a Peoples
Candidate Nominated.
MR. EDITOR: The recent action of the
so-called Democratic convention i'll nominal
ing candidate for mayor, does not meet the
approval of large number of Democrats,
and as sound in the faith as those who COM
posed the convention in question. The
most that can be said of Mir. Payne as a
Democrat is, that he is Wilson bolter, and
by his vote in the gubernatorial contest,
identified himself with the repudiators of
the State debt. Then what has he done for
the democratic party? Has he ever spent
any money to heIp it along? Has he
ever yentured up to the poles on election
days and worked for its success? Has he
ever. ON any occasion, borne the burthen
j and heat of the day !? Two candidates that
were before the same conveptiol-Sheppard
and Luttrell-were hard working Democrats,
the former taking it upon himself, IN the
gubernatorial race, to throw III
70 g. First Creek the Wilson
tickets brought to the pons
by MIR. PAINE. No man has been truer to
Democracy than Mr.. Sheppard, yet he was
slaughtered by this so"Cailed Democratic
convention.
Now allow me to suggest the propriety OF
calling a citizens, meeting, irrespective OF
party, at any early day, and nominate non
partisan candidate We want no polucs IN
this matter. There should be none.
Politics EiH prove curse to our
city municipal management. Ihey
will create strife confusion ana
shameful struggle for the spoiis OF
office. Our business E1en and all classes OF
our citizens want mayor who will lay
aside his political arnor and devote MS
time, best energies and good sense TO the
material growth and welfare of Knoxville.
They desire no boasting of party triumph.
If you'll allow me, I'll suggest the name
of agentleman to the citizens meeting, if one
shosald be called, who wonld make capital
mayor, one who would reflect credit upon
the Office and do his whole duty. refer to
MIR. Lewis Tiiimar.
If any one doubts the democracy OF youi
correspondent, refer him to you.

Exhibition at the Austin school.

Friday evening, about s o'clock, we were
highly gratifed by Christmas entertain
ment, given at the Austin school. The ex-
ereises-short, but very excelent-were as
follows:
Opened, first, with a song, Overland
ing" 1t was fine piece of music and was
very nicely sung.
/ Next, we were entertained with calls
thenical exercise by large number of
small girls with MIR. John Fuller leader.
All watched with close attention while
| these We're going through the exercise. It
was Gone very nicely, as all the actors
seemed to take an interest in it. All the
persons present seemed to be very much
pleased with the exercise, which was Ger
tainly grand.
piece of music, and was very nicely sung
Our attention was drawn next to another
calisthenical exercise, by number of larger
sized girls. 1t was done very accurately and
nicely.
| Next on the programme was q song by
Prof. B. j. Campbell, with two little girls to
join in the chorus.
Next was an exercise in calisthenics, with
dumb BELLS" by number of boys.
All watched with closer attention than before,
as this was entirely a new exercise to those
present. Next was the same exercise with
girls. The girls are to be comphmented for
excelhng the boys in the same exercise. A
very nice recitation by the name of Lazy
Jane, was next given. Next was q song,
The Little Cabins are Empty Now" by
| Iheo. Niles. His costume created much
laughter, but his singing certainly deserves
much credit The next was another exer-
cire in calisthenics. This exercise was the
incest of all the other calisthenical exer-
eises. 1t was done by boys, and the boys
did so well that they excited admiration. As
| the girls excelled in the other calisthenical
exercises, with the dumb-bells, the boys
tried themselves III this and succeeded in
doing tip-top. Next was song by Miss
Martha Massengill. 1t was sung very
nicely, and she deserves much credit. Next
was bed-making, and song by some very
small girls. Next was an exercise in calls
themes, with rings, by some very small
girls. Next was song by Prof. B. J.
Campbell and Miss Martha Massengill Next
was song by Theo. Niles. Another song
closed the exhibition for the night.
A very large and respectable audience was
present, and was very much satisfied with
the exhibition. Owing to the fact that a
few parties were given by some of the
younger friends, many were absent who, no
doubt, would have been present AS it is
said among the whites that 'The colored
people can not learn much because they are
too vain"-last night proved those words
to be untrue. OH that some of the whites
had have been there to see for themselves.
AS time brings all things to light, it has SO
far brought the intelligence of the colored
people to light, surprising that of many of
the whites, considering their respective Cir
cumstances. All in the exhibition did them
selves justice, and also, Miss Austin, who
labored to get up the exhibition. After the
closing song, ali retired to their homes feel
ing very much gratiied with the exercises.
