= The discharge Of railroad employees
continues to go on. The Charlotte, Co.
lumhia and Augusta Railroad Company
is not alone in this work of throwing de-
pendent men out Of employment. 1t is
CO extensive with the great K. Il ID. sys.
TEN whose managers discovered, short
time ago, that retrenchment and reform
weuld be necessary to make their carry
ing business profitable. There is now
talk in railroad circles about the wisdom
Of cutting down the mail trains to one
each day on every part of their system.
If this should be done between Rich
nlond and Charlotte, it il probable the
passenger train on the G. G. Il a. Rail
road train will be run on a night schcd-
ulc to connect with the night trains be-
tween Charlotte and Richmond. The
hands employed in section work are
being cut down about onehalf, and
while this is said to be very common at
this season of the year. the railroad oili-
cia!s themselves admit that discharges
are more numerous this year than usual

Is Boston Losing Musicai Culture

beifoat Gaat
 \ Boston letter on music written by Berkeley. recently published Tn the Chicago I.neS contains the following rather startling paragraph
 Bostonians as a class care no more for symphony and ora,orio than the resi- dents of other cites of average inteli gence. and attend and applaud their per tormanoes, chiefly because Il IS the fash ionable thing 10 de se. Cheap. catchy. ,utiing music always takes with d Boston audience better than tha, winch IS more substantial. and no, conductor who has ever appeared here bu; ~ill tell you that Tn a progromme that contains Beeshovens nth or Sehubets :" n. finisheI' symphony. and the pi,sacA,, passage from Delibe's ballet music m Sylvia" the latter will occasion twice the demonstration of rapture sh Il is es- cited by either of the others
 That information rather throws us oGt of the serenity which commonly ehatae- terizes us somehow II effects u> good deal as the news of the ava disaster did We have never been favored citizen of the Athens of America but we have SOfodiuCd tiHiCs oti oLf kIAACis. we have read and heard of Boston. our cousins from Boston have visited us and discoursed unInteuup,edly of Boston and i,s classic taste. i,s genuine appreciation of the lofty Tn music. as m ali me arts and it's utter unspeakable abhorrenee oi the cheap and trIiing.
 When we have beheld Ne~ York. Philadelphia and Chicago and even be loved Detrot, enthusiastic over the " catching 'J,g-hke style of iish, opera and musical comedy, to the exclusion of the more classic compositions. and have bewailed their wan, of fine musical taste we have Always had Bos,on to comfort us. Boston 10 fall back upon. and now 10 be told-but VIC oanno, repeat The ter rible uuerances Of <" Berkeley"
 Let some loyal Bos,onian nse and re- flute this foul slander and by proving tha, Boston is s,ill true to symphony and ora ,orio. put again beneath our fee, the foundation Of faith whereon ~e have so long rested.
