A Welcome Visit.

The above heading refers to the
appearance In the Opera House, on
Tuesday, January 9Th, of the justly
celebrated J. II. IIaverly Comedy
Company in the most laughable
comedy entitled "Our Stralegists."
The piece is advertised in 4 acts and
1000 laughs but our exchanges claim
only one laugh claiming that as soon
a. the curtain rises the. audience
commences to laugh and continues
throughout the whole performance.
Admission and reserved seats have
been placed on sale at the usual pri-
COS and we advise all TO secure their
seats In advance, as crowded house
Is surely guaranteed this great COM
pany. We clip the following from
the Nashville Banner, of Dec. 2Sth
"our strategists,' presented ct the
Masonic Theater last night by J. II.
Haverly'sl Comcdy Company, at
tFacted large audience. The play
is full of very amusing complications,
and the audience was kept iu con-
slant merriment from the rising to
-thc falling Of the curtain. 1t Is one
ofthc most amusing comedies seen
IN Nashville for some time, and the
company contains some excellent
talent, winch Is utilized to good adj
vantage. The plot is simple, but a
vast deal of fun is gotten out of II.
"0ur Strategists" is certainly worth
seeing.

ELECTRTC LIGHTING.


 The electric light has had some success, but it has not yet seriously interfered with other methods of illumination How secure hold it has remains to be seen, and it is also, we suppose, yet to be proven that the business of electric lighting can be made generally profitable.
 The history of electric lighting in England thus far is instructive, though somewhat melancholy. According to MT. Arnold White, who was until recently the managing director of the Edison company in England, the various organizations that have been formed in that country for electric lighting purposes have taken from their supporters about $26, ,500, ,000 in money. At the present moment, their factories plant and supplies on hand would not net if sold to the highest bidder, more than $4, 100, 900, and, in his opinion, it is upon this diminished capital ization that they can alone hope to make profit. In less than three years these com panies have practically sunk $20, ,000, 900, for which they can now show no tangible re- sults Of this latter amount, over $5, ,OOO, ,OO0 was paid to inventors, to promoters and for patent rights; $500, 900 for law and parlia- mentary charges; $6,000,000 for clerks, sec retaries, office rent, advertising and sundries, and the rest for directors fees, exhibitions and free lighting, obsolete machinery and plant, and temporary installations which were undertaken at loss
 One reason why the electric lighting com panies of England cannot make 8 better showing is because they have had very se- were law to contend against. In order to guard against possible monopoly the Eng fish parliament surrounded the electric light ing act with so many provisions as to make it very hard for the companies to do busi ness proftably. In this country they have had better chance, but the business is not as hourishing as it might be. The Boston Herald thus fairly reviews the situation: AL though the money invested in electric light ing enterprises has not been so largely sunk 1 in the United States as in England, it is l somewhat questionable whether anyone but the inventors and patentees of electric light ing apparatus have as yet profted by the system. That it is the light of the future l may be admitted; but it must also be added that it is not improbable that before it be- comes commercially successful other inven- tions, not yet thought of, must be made. The tendency of the times favors reduction in the price of gas. Thus, though the electric companies may furnish better and more brilliant light, it will be necessary for them to depend not wholly upon this su. periority, but to study closely the economies of their business. In this way, and in this way only, can they hope to maintain profit able existence

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Register says: 'fWe are authorized to say that MT. Harrison while speaker of the house of representatives never offered his advice to Governor Waller on any question concerning the taxation of railroads"
 England has 27, ,O50 breweries and brewed 990, 100000 gallons of beer last year. Ger many has 25, ,902 breweries and brewed 90O,- period. These two countries lead Europe in the manufacture of this article.
 The Democrats would like to give the i'm pression that Hon. Henry B. Harrison's nom ination was the work of anti Blaine Republi- cans. A more preposterous idea was never conceived. The Republican convention was as enthusiastic Blaine gathering as even the most devoted Blaine man could have wished.
 Senator Merrill of SVermont, who accom- panied MT. Blaine to Europe in 1867, says that on that trip MT. Blaine told him how the bulk of his fortune was made. He had purchased tract of coal lands in West Vir- ginia for $40, 900, paying part of that sum "A-' "AANA SAA0 OoA~AAce soon aACe1 HOn eAe profits of the mines. These mines, Mir Blaine said, were then paying him annually an amount equal to the interest on $200, 900; and they have increased in value since.
 Agricultural Commissioner Henderson of Georgia wants people to understand that he never said that farming did not pay in Geor- gia. He wants to know how the people on the 14O, 900 farms in the State get along if farming is losing business, seeing that the farmer class is fast increasing in numbers.
