Ingenious Carving.

We have been shown a carved cane
the work of Miss Carrie E. Swink, the
16-year old daughter of Mr.. George w
Swink of this county, which is marvel
of its kind. The cane is of dogwood, on
which is engraved the name of Govern
or-elect Philip W. Mckinney, and those
of all the Presidents from Washington
to Harrison. The work is very ingen-
iousIy and artistically wrought, and
shows decided and unusual talent in

tion by Senator Edward Echols.

BOSTON Ouintette Company.

Perhaps in the eyes-or we mlght say
the ears-of the classical music loving
community, the Boston Quintette Con-
cert tomorrow night will outweigh all
other entertainments afforded at the
Opera House this season. This ceiepra-
ted organization has appeared here so
frequently, that its merits and attrac-
tions scarcely require any indexlng at
our hands. The music is ever such as is
not often heard, and hence in missing II
one is apt to forfeit large slice out OF
life. Although changing hands at inter
walls, this troupe is ever fortunate IN Sc
curing the representative talent, not
only of the day, but we might say OF the
world, and for a musician to be able to
pronounce the open-sesame that admits
him within it's charmed coterle is TO en-
dorse his claim to artistic celebrity par
excellence, and to almost crown him
with the name of master" The pro-
gramme for tomorrow night is one OF
unusual scope and variety. and the SOU
briquets appearing in connection with
the members are orld-renowned to the
musical world. Mr.. John Rhodes, the
violinist, is a genius. broadly reputed,
bearing the enviable appellation OF
Americas greatest violinist.
Herr Paul Mende, another celebrated
violinist, is the late solo of PATHS con-
certs. Herr Adolphe Burose is adjudged
one of the finest fiutists in Germany,
being best known as the flute virtuoso"
from Berlin. Mr. Armin Rocker is
famed master manipulation OF the viola.
Mr.. Louis Blumenberg, at least. needs
no comment He is confidently remem-
bered doubtless by many as skillful
and soul-stirring violincellist, one in
whose hands his unwieldy looking in
strument becomes incarnated with
witchery to which he alone holds the key.
Miss Anne Carpenter, the famous So
prano, is an American artist. She was
educated in Paris, and was one OF the
qui-otic La Oranges most successful pu-
pills. Her voice has excited much eclat
in church, concert, and oratoriO. There
could be no more fitting diversion for
the holidays than the treat afforded by
the united harmony of such galaxy OF
brilliant stars.

Mrs, Tams and family and large num-
of white persons, was just tribute to
the fidelity of her service and an evil

lection for the faithful nurse. went to the
home of the groom and spent some time.
