The Music Of the Future.

The contamination OF the arrange
mcnls with Carpi and Gilmore as
Surcs the Southern Exposition the
repetition Of probably the mGst
clarmn feature of last years eXhib
ition. From August lG, to October
%, there will thus be given two con-
certs each day from bands not cX-
cclled by any in the world. Music
of this kind had never
been attempted by any exposition
until the Southern Exposition of
1883, and the repetition of the en-
gagcmcntS this year will probably
make our exhibition exceptional III
this respect.
Cappa and Gilmore are compcti-
tors for popular favor is this COM
munity. They both expressed their
surprise and pleasure at the fond
ness and taste Of the people Of Louis
Vile for the better class Of music.
Both have said that they came here
expecting to supply what they would
call popular music, but that the!
found the popular demand required
music such as they would render in
the highest order of concert. All the
visitors TO the Exposition last year
where pleased with the music; but
there were hundreds Of Louisville
people who every afternoon and
night, sought the Exposition for the
enjoyment Of the musical festival
that so lavishly spread itself over the
whole period.
While both the bands gave great
pleasure, the question Of which gave
the most pleasure is still subject Of
discussion in Louisville. Cappa will
again be the first pat IN trial, lu' lie
has now the advantage Of knowing
what we like and what Gilmore gave
us. Both these great leaders will be
welcomed back with warm feeling,
and if they find any difference in the
estimation in which their music is
held they will certainly find nothing
to leave doubt as to the appreciation
of the people of Louisville Of their
effort to please and to add all they
C uld to the attractivcncss Of the
SOall ern ENposlt on.
II announcement that Cdppa and
Gilmore with their skillful and ac-
complished associates will participate
in the Southern Exposition of 1884
will be crafty ing information to the
three quarters Of "A million of people
who visited the Exposition last year,
and it will excite an interest among
those who neglected the opportunity
of last year that will doubtless bring
many Of them to the Exposition Of
this year, that already gives assur-
ance of eXcclling the successful effort
of 1883.

We have heard OF many shrewd Nd-
vertising lodges on the part of managers
and agents, but the following corals the
sweetened dough: Dave Thomas, one
of Barnum's agents, succeeded in effect
ing an adjournment of the New Hamp-
shire Legislature during a visit of the
show at the capital in rather daring
manner. He got reporter of one of
the dailies to write out series of reso-
lutions relating to the death of some
prominent person, and, handing them
to one Of the legislators, the latter
moved that the Legislature adjourn out
of respect to his memory. They were
read, adopted and an adjournment had
before the wise men of the body discov-
cred that the individual referred to had
been dead over three months. The
legislators went to the circus, all the
same, however, and took the whole city
with them.

Now, what is an evening paper TO

"Mr. Tilden will not accept a nom-

scrupulons party managers who are
using his name for their own corrupt
purposes" AT the same time DR.

mercial housetop, right under the
drippings Of his fat Federal office i'll
the Custom-house: ''If he is nomi-
mated by acclamation, he will accept
he will run, and the campaign will be
pitched battle" Now, really, this
thing is getting to be as interesting
as the twilight discussion between

The National Republican convcn-
ton will meet in Chicago to-day and
the eyes of the country are turned
upon it. Arthur and Blaine are run.
ming neck and neck for first place,
with Sherman, Logan, Edmunds,
Harrison and other hopeful statesmen
stretching out in the rear. The race
has already virtually begun and there
has been wire-working and schcm-
inc done on all side within the last
few days. 1t is rumorcd that Blaine
has combined with Logan and that
he has had an understanding with
Sherman. 1t is also said that Arth-
ur and Edmunds are pulling togeth-
cr and that Harrison is a possible
lcgatec of the Stalwart strength.
Another report will contradict all
these rumors and some politician
who processes TO know the inside Of
things will give it as his opinion that
either Blaine or Arthur will be nomi-
mated on the first ballot.
The truth is all is involved in
doubt and there is no telling who
will be nominated, though it seems to
be conceded on all sides that Lincoln
will be given the second place. The
latest report is that the gamblers are
pooling $50 on Blaine, $50 on Arthur
and 500 on the field.
The convention will probably make
a nomination by Thursday and we
will be able to tell our readers in
Fridays paper who the Democrats
will have to beat.

HIRAM'S OPINIONS,

l give it as my opinion that the
Grange stock sale at Casky last week
was the biggest thing that ever took
place in this county. Christian
county just literally swarmed-
everybody went, everybody ate.
everybody enjoyed him or herself
There were present about four acres
of people. Here an old gray haired
man, feeble, lottery, worn out in the
hard struggle Of life, with his hands
in his pockets and life all behind
him. Over there a jolly, rosy checked
boy, full Of fun and frolic, pleased
with a rattle and ticklcd with a
straw, with life all before him. On
this side a matronly looking old lady
dressed in black, sercnely happy TO
know III the evening of her life that
the same strong arm upon which she
leaned i'll girlhOod is spared TO battle
for her yet. On that a bcvy OF
brighteyed beauties, beneath whose
cluster of sunny crimps and raven
black ringlets, sparkled eyes brighter
than the stars that twinkle in the
blue cmpyrean above. Doctors left
their patients tossing with fevers,
lawyers forgot their briefs and clients,
blacksmiths let the fires die out in
their FORCES, farmers turned their
crops over to the army worms, old
women their chickens to the tender
mercies of the chicken hawk, and even
ministers of the gospel, those grand
men who stand upon the watch tow
cr Of Zion and point us the way TO
glory and to life everlasting, quit
their work, turned the whole ma
chincry over to Satan, and walked
into the southeast corner of south
down with as little remorse as they
would have felt at the killing of a
rattle snake or mad dog. And that
dinner! would to God that | could
describe it. On this table was a ton
of as fine mutton as ever nibbed a
spear Of grass over the broad fields
of South Christian. On that another
of as fine beef as ever bawled proud
defiance TO the very clements even in
the famous blue grass regions of
upper Kentucky. Chickens swan
around promiscuously in their own
gravy. Pyramids Of fine cake floated
about in seas of rich sauce. While
here and there and everywhere stacks
Of pies rose up higher and higher
still until their tops were almost lost
amid the blue ether. Oh, how | dc
like pies, mother likes pies, all oul
folks like pics. | am of the opinion
that the name of the woman who in
vented side pies will live on and on
forcvcr-will live in the grateful
memories Of the civilized world as
, long as time shall last and will theI
echo in eternity. Kind reader, did
YOU ever know how near and dear tC
your heart the side pie is? Did you
ever 90 as have into the novels Of
the poor, where squalid poverty sal
like some hungry demon eXultin2
over the ruin before him-hungry
tired, worn out, sad-hearted and sicb
} then and there when you expected
to be confronted only by that hideoul
monster "jowl and green's" to SEE
: come dancing before you like a ray
, Of sunshine, plate full of good ole
+ fashioned thin crusted side pies
Then in the eXuberance of your new
, found joy you feel like eXclaiming
Heaven bless the woman who first
invented side pies. But enough OF
this line.
! There was much stock sold. l d.

The idiosyncrasies Of the English lam

And remember, though fleece in the plural IL

The plural Of goose is not gooses nor geeses;
And remember, though house in the plural L.
houses,
The plural Of mouse should be mice, and not
mouses
Mouse, it is true, In the plural is mice,
But the plural of house should DO houses not hice
And foot 1t is true, In the plural is feet
But the plural Of root should be roots and not rect
