IN IMPORTANT SOUTHERN ROUTE.

AsHEyILLE, n. c., Dec. 4.-WOrk has been
begun upon the most important link OF railway in the
South. The line extends from Hendersonyie, N c.,
TO this place, distance Of only twenty miles. AS soon
this link is finished, however, the East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia road will have a thorough
line from Chicago and Cincinnati to Charles
ton, which will be at least 200 miles shorter
than any route between Cincinnati and the sea-
board The new line will from Cincinnati by way OF
JecO, to Knoxville Tenn thence TO MOrristOwn, and
thence 10 Ashevlle over the tracks of the western
North Carolina Railroad. From Ashevle to Spartan
burg, and from Spartanburg to Charleston, by way OF
Columbia. the road runs In almost straight line Pull
man cars will DO from Chicago direct to Jackson
vile, Fla, by this line and the Florida and
Western Railroad large freight business in fruits for
the West IL anticipated. The men who own the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road also hold con-
trolling interest in the Richmond and Danville system
and both roads will be worked 10 assist the line,
which will probably be known the Chicago and Charles

THE SAN FRANCISCO. MINsTRELs.

1t is with sincere regret that we record the
practical extinction of the San Francisco Mnstres This
company has existed here In NewYorK for nineteen
years and IL had become settled institution. Its enter
tanments might and then, have lapsed into buff
foonery or been Oyereighted with animal spirits and
thus made momentary little distasteful; but, in gen.
eral these entertainments refined as they were
humorous, and they gave unaloyed pleasure
TO many wearied worker and TO audiences that came
from the pure and simple homes of our people The San
Francisco Minstrel Company was always well chosen,
and 1t always showed ability. Its theatre cosy and
cheerful and the visitor there might be Of innocent
pleasure unaccompaned with pretensOn and "spluge"
The old leaders of the company were Birch, Backus.
Bernard, and Wambold Mr. Bernard was the first to
withdraw then wambold went Both however are
still living In Eew-York. Lately came the death
Of Backus and this, OF course WA n sad
trouble Mr. Birch has for brief time carried on the
business alone with the aid OF Frank Dumonta most
efficient worker and q general fsvorite But now Mr.
Birch also yields to I" the new order" Mr. HaverIv
whose visage boomed forth, years ago on all the
fences and dead walls OF the continent as that ~ the
manager Of forty thousand entertainments more or less
including I" mammoth quartettes" and "mastodon

in the enterprise, and the San Francisco Minstrel
Company, as a distinct organization exists no mora
