A Prodigy on the Piano.

From the New York Evening Sun.
LONDON, March 2O.-Onc Of the new
youthful pianofortc prWligies made his
appearance before Il critical private
iencc last night. The name Of the
child is otto Hcgncr, Il little fellow in
Il black velvet kujckcr5ockrr suit. Hc
is of German extraction, and although
only ten years of age, has the conf
dencc and bearing of Il IIEn of thirty.
He has been trained from infancy for
the musical profession, and his tuition
has been based upon lines of thorough
practical work rather than on the de-
sire for early maturity.
Yesterdays experiment revealed the
little wonder, if anything, superior to
Young Hofmann. He is fully equal I"
that child. In mechanical precision,
and in dealing with technical difficult
ties he may be considered his superior.
In thorough musical knowledge he is Il
long way beyond Hofmann. He has
been trained, first, by his father, until
6yeaas of age, and after that by Franz
Fricker for four years. Since that time
he has been under the direction of Hans
Huber, the distinguished composer OF
Basle, while Alfred Glous gave the
child practical and theoretical train
ing at the same time. Experts now
say that the child is finished pianist.
His rendering yesterday of Chopin's
study in flat was considered perfect,
while III Becthoven's sonata in B fiat
he showed 4 marvellous degree Of mu-
sical feeling.

Cuffee In the New South.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
1t grows clearer every day that if the
New South doesn't lose her head she
has got great and paying future be-
fore her. If she can stand prosperity
she is bound to prosper. A special to
the Tribune yesterday from Blackshear,
Ga. showed what great progress the
valise-carrying industry has made in
that State of late. The dispatch stated
that well-known New Yorker paid
negro lad $40 yesterday for carrying
his valise to Blackshear, distance Of a
mile" There is nothing going to prove
that the negro boy in qustion possessed
any particular genius for valise-carry-
ing. He is not referred to as the Hof-
mann of valise-carriers, as though he
were a prodigy. 1t is safe to conclude,
therefore, that it was an ordinary every
day nego boy that received $40 for car
rying valise to Blackshcar, distance
OF q mile.
That boy has got mighty good thing
of it if business doesn't fall off: Say lie
carries four valises an hour, only works
ten hours day, and allows himself a
month vacation in the watermelon sea-
son. That would give him 81 500 day;
or 81, 500 week; or $3S, 400 month; or
S42222, 400 year. 1t is clear from these
figures that the Blackshear negro hoy,
in case he abstains from policy" is on
the highroad to fortune. How few per-
SONS, engaged in the same branch OF
business outside the New South belt,
can make S4222, 400 a year. 1t is also
clear from these figures that if trade
generally, in and about Blackshear and
the rest of Georgia, pays as handsome
profit as valise-carrying, everybody
must be feeling first-trate, and all sorts
Of bust ness prospects, including town
lots and alligator pocketbooks, must be
enjoying a most gratifying boom.

Especial to the News and Courier.1
ANDERSON, March 22.-The two
storerooms, owned by Col. Jesse w.
Norris, and occupied by Brownlee &
Brown, grocers, and S. NJ. Van Wyck,
furniture dealer, were consumed by fire
this morning. The fire was discovered
in Van Wyck's cellar about half-past 5 ,
O'Clock. A perfect gale was blowing
when the alarm was given, and in spite
of the heroic efforts Of the fire depart
ment, the building and its contents
were destroyed. Fortunately the two
rooms were on the eastern end of the
bank range and the wind was blowing
from the west, but notwithstanding
this advantage it with very great effort
that the flames were kept from spread
ing.
Masonic Hall, adjoining the rooms
occupied by Brownlee & Brown, caught
once or twice, but was saved. The
Rough and Ready colored company
spent the entire forenoon playing a
stream upon the debris and extinguish-
ing the fire whenever it would break
out, as it was constantly doing in con-
sequence of the gale that grew stronger
as the morning advanced. The build
ing, valued at $500, was insured in the
German-American for $500. S. NJ.
Van Wyck had in furniture 81, 600, and
was insured in the Connecticut of Hart
ford for $500. Messrs. BroynIee &
Brown had on hand about $4,000 of
groceries, which were insured in the
Merchants of Newark forS1 900 and in
the Connecticut of Hartford for 81 800.
About 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr..
Samuel Browns dwelling, a two-story
frame house, was consumed by fire.
Mr.. Brown lived about mile from the
Courthouse, and before help could
reach him the flames were entirely
beyond control. All his furriture was
saved. The fire was first discovered on
the roof, which is supposed to have
caught from spark from the chimney.
It is thought that the burning Of the
storerooms was the act of an incendia-
ry, Mr.. Van Wyck had not had fire in
his store for two weeks. Trade has been
completely'demoralized all day.

AS an instance of the practically
bottomless nature of the quicksands,
/ may cite the case of an engine that
ran off the track at River Bend, about
ninety miles from Denver, on the
Kansas Pacific. The engine, large
freight, fell into a quicksand, and in
twenty minutes had entirely disap-
peared. Within two days the compa-
ny sent out gang of men and a wreck
ing train to raise the engine. To their
surprise they could not find trace Of
1T. Careful search was made, magni-
fed rods were sunk to the depth of
sixty-five feet, but no engine could be
found. 1T had sunk beyond human
ken, and from that day TO this has
never been discovered. Cattle and
horses are frequently lost
the only animal that is safe being the
mule-the only animal that never gets
caught. No greater instance of the
intelligence of this much-maligned
quadruped can be cited than the skill
and care with which it avoids all I'M
sound bottom. AS its hoofs are much
smaller and narrower than those of
horse it would mire in places where
horse could safely pass. Recognizing
the fact, whenever mule feels the
ground giving way under its feel it
draws back, and cannot be induced to
advance step, although whole
drove of horses may have immediate
ly preceded p Wichita Beacon.
