RWOOD.-NOticeS are out for
one of the most delightful entertain
ments that, perhaps, the music-loving
people of Martinsburg have ever en-
joyed. Sherwood, the greatest Amer.
lean pianist has by special request,
consented to give a recital in the
Court House here Thursday night
April Goth, also short lecture on the
thought, poetry and sentiment found
in the musical works of the world
greatest masters. We have only to
announce to our cultivated commu-
nifty the coming of so great an artist.
We simply take an extract from a
leading Boston musical journal:
Shakespeare to the unlettered may often
prove difficult of comprehension and enjoy
ment, but when interpreted by q Booth, a
grand. SO with the great musicians: Bach,
Handel Hayden, Mozart, Beethoven. Schu-
mann, Schubert, Mendessohn, Chopin. List,
Robenstein, Raft, Grieg, Moszkowski, and
others, when Interpreted by Sherwood, be-
come realities; and listeners are thrilled with
delight as they feel the powers of the tone
ment presented. such recitals have been
given in Boston, New York. Cleveland,
Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis. Philadelphia,
and other cities: and at the latter city, in 1882,
he gave q series of five, covering a repertoire OF
nearly hundred pieces, played entirely from
memory.
Before reaching the age of nineteen years, so
favorably had Mr.. Sherwood impressed the
musicians of Berlin, he was invited to per-
form the great Beethoven Emperor" con-
certo, under the direction ofthe Royal kapell-
Meister, Richard Wuerst; this he did. and at
its conclusion was recalled by such applause
as seldom greets an artist. The great audience
OF nearly four thousand people, carried away
by the enthusiasm and excitement of their
feelings, called out young Sherwood again
and again, compelling him to acknowledge
their plaudlts eight successive times before
their feelings were suffered to subsde. Such
tllumphs as these repeated i'll Berlin, HAM
burg, Weimar, ETC., before brilliant and musi-
cal audiences, won for Mr.. Sherwood a bril-
liant reputation in the art centres of Germany
before he returned to his native country.

The prohibition contest in Rich
mond is growing in interest and ex.
citement. 1t is a fight such as was
waged in Atlanta, but on a smaller
scale. The "drys" are working per-
sistenly, and the "wets" are doing
all they can by labor and money to
stem the prohibition tide. The re-
suit remains to be seen.
There has been an extraordinary
large number of disasters within the
past few weeks, involving heavy
loss of life, and they have occurred
in dozen different directions, and
from as many varying causes-earth-
quakes, cyclones, shipwrecks, floods,
railroad accidents, &c. The last is
reported from Massachusetts, where
the breaking OF dam has drowned
eleven or twelve people, and caused
destruction of property.

Those blamed fool Democratic
politicians who are raising Cain be-
cause President Cleveland does not
go fast enough, or rather does not
cause Republican office-holders to
go fast enough, ought to be suppress
ed. Mr.. Cleveland is a Democratic
President, and just about ten mil
lion times better than a Republican
executive, which the senseless bick-
erings and discomfort engendered
by that class of people will result in
reproducing. If we we're given to
that sort of thing, we should GER
talnly remark some cuss words that
would be appropriate to their cases.
STATESMAN
The above coming from a man
who always held some little office
even under government not rec
cognized by him, and came in early
for Office under the new manage
ment, reminds us of the boy who
sat down on a tack. His mother
tried to console him by telling him
he must have the patience of Job.
With tears rolling down his cheeks,
about the size of turnip, the boy
answered, sob never sat on a tack. !"
If the Statesman had been compelled
to sit down on the sharp tack Of dis
appointment, its editors patience
would lack vigor. Too much politics
sours sometimes. The rooster on
the barn top always crows the loud
est, but the hawk generally gets him
the quickest.
