RfBYCCA AT THE OPERA HoUSE.-Ihe
nr.ssnta,ion OF Rebecca at the Opera House
last Aight was, in every respect. pro.
nonnesd success, as was testified by the re-.
ne.tei aud hearty applause of the large and
discriminating audience present. Many,

regain indeibly on the minds of rlaDy who
heard and saw this interesting Cantata.
Miss Myra Cavalier, as Rebecca, was unable,
in consequence Of severe hoarseness, to do
be,seli Justice (vocally) In the character.
Her action, however, which was in excellent
ia-je did much TO supply the loss of voice.
She mad, we are sure, the sympathy OF the
.biire audience in her trying situation. Mr..
Fed, as Isaac, sang in good voice and
was iudcous in action. His articulation,
however, is faulty, which detracts somewhat
from en- otherwise very happy effect.
Mr. Evans, as Abraham, exhibited his rich
baritone to the best advantage in the char
scterizetion of the grand old patriarch
the very personifcaton of whom, in make
IN, he was. His phrszing was excellent
giving to his prayers force and beauty. Mr.
Terry. as Eie2er, had much to do and did It
well His voice was resonant and his enun'
citation distinct. Mr.. Moore, as Bethuel,
sang in his usual good taste, his deep bass
creating pleasant vibrations on the tym-
nani of his auditors causing, in response,
hearty applause. Mr.. Greenaway, in the
nersou of Iaban, made conscientious and

repast it is providing for farmers, Old

prise at the tremendous gait the South

GEORGIA CROPS.

These views apply merely to ap.
pearances and not to inherent values as
to the productiveness of the farmipe
lands of the different states. There
has always been to my mind, point of
time which, applied TO any section of
country determines greatly the profits
from tilling the soil in that particular
slice Of the fOotstool. We know how
the early truck from the semi-tropical
Bermudas bring fabulous prices each
year to crafty epicurean tastes. How
the vicinity of Norfolk is two weeks
ahead of Delaware in the marketing of
the Doubtless Strawberry" and how
again Delaware offers her fine prod
ucts days in advance of New jersey.
These or all these are points in time
requiring for their full DEVELOPMENT
the aid Of the great co.ef1icient of all
enterprises-the locomotive harnesse I
down to rails of steel. Never were
there an agricultural people more in
sensible to the positive profits by rea-
son OF their Incompatible climate and
natural resources to which has come
the railroad than are those OF the near
by and far southwest states.

COTTON MACHINES.

Very appropriately the first machines
attracting notice upon entering ma
chinery hall was a Van Wrinkle Cotton
Separator or Gin. The rapiditv with
which the cotton is taken up and sepa-
rated from the clnging seed was verv
effective. While the principle of de-
taching the fibre of the cotton plant is
plain and positive, the manner in
which this is done is quite different.
The old time gins had saws revolv-
ing horizontally on which were fed the
cotton in fine feeds" " the seed being
unable to pass through. Toothed cvln-
ders take the place of saws in the gins
OF to-day and probably with greater
results.
