Chat About Dramatic and Musical Enter
t.inments That the People Go to See.
OF allthe amaetur concerts it has ever
been our pleasure to hear, that given by the
Salem Philharmonic Society at the Aeadc-
my hapel last Thursday night was the best
Salem has always enjoyed reputation as
the music, centre of North Carolina, we
mi htsa of the South, and certainly de-
serves it. We do not believe any commu-
nifty in the Southeastern States can give
such splendid concert as we heard last
Thursday evening.
Prof Geo. Markgraf, director, and Miss
A. Van Week, accompanies, certainly deser-
we'd and won the laurels for organizing and
conducting the entertainment.
NOTES.
The Salem Orchestra's rendition of differ
ent pieces was Of high order. They are
gaining reputation every day and we hear
that they will very probably be engaged to
furnish the music for some Of the coming
commandments. They will give a concert
at Kernersville tomorrow night and at Oak
Ridge Saturday night.
Mrs. Fries was heartily encored. This
speaks fer itself
Prof. Robt. armichael is!ceriainly gen.
ius. Heis very graceful and his music is
deligh,ful.-Ee was encored time and again.
The finest i y-rumental music rendered at
the concert wa n our opinion, that comPo
sed by Prof ,IgraE.
The "Song The BelI' is one of the
finest CT Gerinal poems and its rendition
was fully in keeping with its own excellence
If Schiller could have heard It he would
have Leen pleased beyond expression. We
cannot make distinctions between the solo
ists-i would he hard to do, because they
were all so good.

Next Monday night Mcintyre & Heath's
minstrels will give an entertainment at
Browns Hall. Two years ago theSENTINEL
man saw this company, composed of over
thirty men, and we thought it the finest
minstrel show we ever saw. If the same
talent is with it now, it is splendid enter
tainment. A recent issue of the Dennlson
Journal thus speaks of them:
This excellent company of Ministries gave
one of their interesting performances before
a very fattering audience at the Opera
House last night Considerable rivalry has
existed between them and the Wilson 81
Rankin combination this season, which
brought out a good crowd to which of
the two was best. After visiting both perfor-
mances, we have no hesitation in saying
that for a meritorious performance there is
no comparison between the two shows as
every feature of the Mcintyre & Heath Co.
is superior. The acrobatic performances Of
All Sid, Guyer and Harding, was a leading
feature of the show and was a departure
from the old line Of minstrelsy that was en-
.ioyed. The afterpiece ''She" was one Of the
most laughable ever wstnessed, and brought
down the house. This excellent company
can certainly depend upon a good audience
whenever they may again appear in our
city"

Now that the railroads are abolishing
the use of the dangerous stove, the next
thing for the managers to consider is the
oil lamp and the substitution of the cleo
trio light in its place. A new dynamo
has been invented That is perfectly safe
for use on railroad cars. 1t is go con-
structcd that it may give n current in the
same direction, whether working for
ward or backward. Brushes are placed
pcrpendicularly upon the collector, and
these are worked by the motion of the
train. The cost of an outfit for a train
is very small, and the entire arrangement
is so simple that any one can work it.
The light is free fyom pulsation, and its
brightness illuroines q car far better than
either oil LAMPS or gas, A small number
of these electric lights have been placed
in the Pullman palace cars, and they
have worked with success. 1t Is to be
hoped that it will not be long before the
use OF oil lamps on trains will be nbol
ished. They are just as dangerous MS the
stove in case of an accident, and do Just
as much damage.-Dcmorest's Monthly.

Modesty born of true humility is
scarcely ever recognized as such, for it
is not obtrusive, and when it affects one
mans relations to another it does so in
the right way, the inferior yielding to the
superior. 1t is possible, perhaps, for the
naturally modest man to wholly resist
his inclination to yield to others and keep.
in the background, and yet he should try
to do SO whenever an excess of modesty
threatens to handicap him in the race of
life. Neither employers nor the critics
and censors of the world at large have
time TO go into nice, analyses of individ-
nal character, capabilities and merits.
The modest man, however capable, who
does his work quietly without ostenta-
zion, and shrinks from the observance
Of Others, must be much more gifted
than bis fellows if he is TO be found out
and advanced by them as against his
companion worker, also capable and
faithful. who lets his light shine before
tho world and provides it with reflectors

MI. Dopcw's Aner Dinner speeob.

1t is o O'Clock now. We are in Del
monico's, and Mr.. Depcw is at the center
of n long table on the raised dais at the
end of the room.
Suppose we remain and sec how the
speech is prepared that we shall read to-
morrow in all the morning papers, and
which will convulsc with laughter this
evening a roomful of lucky guests. The
half hours play has done more to dissi-
pate h fatigue of the day than n tonic
that was ever brewcd. Now that every
thing is quiet the preparation is begun.
The subject of the speech is carefully
considered and the points which arc to
be made are fixed in logical order in the
speakers mind.
Are no notes to be made2" YOU ask.
No. In after dinner speeches Mr.. De.
pew has long since given up that prac.
tice as "A rule. He trusts to his feet for
the language" and with feet so well
ain by years of practice behind din
ner tables he seldom trusts in vain. He
smiles rs something occurs to him. We
will smile tonight when We hear that
brilliant idea clothed in words. 'All my
speeches are not prepared so hastily"
explains the orator. .'When | have asset
grafton to deliver, as l do have three or
four times n year, | carefully write down
my exact language. No, | don't dictate
il. for the choicest expressions can never
be formed except at the point of your
own pen. On those occasions / read up
on the subject with great thoroughness,
digest the mass of matter with great
care, and then l generally write the
speech at two sittings. In such efforts l
find hat pat expressions come to me in
church sometimes, sometimes in my bed
chamber, at the office or in talking with

work of half an hour, but of weeks or

skin of Ancient nnnders.

a personal inspection of the pyramids
of Egypt, made by n quarry owner who
spent some time recently on the Nile, has
led him TO the conclusion hat the old
Egyptians were better builders thar those
of the present day. He states that there
are blocks of stone in the pyramids which
weigh three or four times as much us the
obelisi on the embankment. He saw n
n stone whose estimated weight was $50
tons. But then the builders of tho pyra-
mids counted human labor lightly. They
had great masses of subjects upon whom
to draw, and most Of their work was
done by sheer manual labor and force.
There are stones i'll the pyramids thirty
feet in length which fit so closely to-
gether that n penknife may be run over
the surface without discovering the break
between them. They are not laid with
mortar. either. There is no machinery
30 perfect that it will make two surfaces
thirty feet in length which will meet to-
gcther in unison rs these stones in the
pyramids meet. 1t is supposed hat they
were rubbed backward and forward upon
each other until the surfaces were as-
similated.-London Iron.

Whether the Swiss farmer of the low.
lands lives in q village or upon his land,
his dwelling and his stable are usually
under the same roof. Great, roomy and
homely structures they are, those houses
and barns covered by the same steep and
projecting roof of red tiles. Under tho
spreading caves are stored the wagons
and other farm machinery when out of
use. The end of the building which
shelters the family ma be of wood, with
picturesque balconies and exterior stair
ways. The upper part of the other half,
in which the hay is stored, is often built
of squared pine logs, OF ~clapboarded, with
large and frequent openings for ventila-
ton of the hay, which is cut and thrown
in fresh and fragrant, almost without any
covering, in the rainy, cloudy climate of
Switzerland.
But the stable, the chief feature of the
establishment, which underlies the hay
loft, is invariably built of stone. Its
solid walls of masonry are two feet in
thickness and plastered within and with
out. The heavy oaken stable door fits
into its castings like the cork of n bottle.
h ceiling is rs nearly air tight as pos
sible. One or two small openings through
the thick wall admit only a feeble glim-
mer of light. The floor is of plank or
stone, with a sunken section through the
middle to catch the wet and waste.

"Ravngeurs" of tho Seine.

The river Seine, as well as the streets
Of Paris, has its chiffonnieres, only those
who make their living by gathering what
ever they find floating in the stream arc
known as ''ravageurs'' instead Of rag
p'ckers. They ply their business in skiffs
and flatboats, with the aid of short har-
poems, and nothing from a dead cat to an
OLD cork comes amiss to them. Bodies
of dead animals form the most important
part of their river ~gleanings. All kinds
OF dead things are TO be met with in the
Seine during its progress through the city.
even snakes and seals being included in
the list. These bodies have a money
value to the ''ravageur;" n medium
sized dog, for example, is worth at least
sixteen cents, provided the skin is in
reasonably good condition to be made up
into leather. The body is sold to an
establishment that makes a specially of
extracting the fat for candle and soar
manufacture. If the body is too dccom-
composed to be disposed of in this way,
the ''ravageur" buries it, and as long as
airy flesh remains on the bones, finds n
ready sale for the maggots among the
fishermen who angle along tho river
bank.-Paris Cor. New Orleans Piea-
yune.

But speaking about false teeth, - said
Ii dentist, 1.-The next thing we are going
To make is teeth that will look so much
Ike natural teeth that the closest inspec-
ton will not be able to tell the difference.
Here is a set l made as an experiment
for an old lady. You see that all the

are irregular. Here's one that looks rs
though it had been broken of a little.
Here's another little point-that gold fill

Years ago it used to be the custom OF
our farmers to save all their hog bristles
for taking to the stores rs a marketable
commodity, they usually getting n good
price for them. But this has all changed
now, like 4 great many other things of
the past. Nobody buys bristles now,
since there is no longer n market for
them, owing 10 their not being equal in
quality to European bristles. All needed
supplies by brush makers are now i'm
ported from the old country. They arc
worth their weight in silver, and are sold
that way, the money value being put on

The local industries Of Venice consist
largely of the weaving of lace, the manu-
facture of glass utensils and ornaments,
the selling of all sorts of old curiosities
for as much as the sellers can get for
them-and a fervent series of solicita-
tions for copper and silver coins. The
shipping interests and trade with foreign
countries are said to be looking up, in n
small way. The place has now probably
