voted for Epes against LangstOn, and some

action. This we consider very encouraging,
especially when Langst0n made the fight
entirely on the race issue. One negro, speak

and rushed rapidly down the steep grade
for about a mile and cOllided with the
north bound freight at the twenty-eight-
mile post. The engine and five cars Of the
north-bound train were thrown from the
track and completely wrecked. The engi-
neer jumped, and the fireman, Mike Kelley,
got of with a slight cut on the head, a
mashed breast and scratched hand. The
wreck was soon cleared up and trains
passed and arrived this morning about on

fore him before he left DunglOe last night.
An address from some local victims, who
were imprisoned under the star Chamber
clauses Of the coercion act, was presented TO
him by Mr.. Sweeny. The address strongly
condemned BalfOur and coercion. He passed
last night at Mr.. Olphert's, the landlord
of GuerdOre, but carefully avoided meeting
any of the people, because that district ~
associated with so many scenes OF vigorous
coercion. An address denOuncing his policy
had been prepared, which Mr. Dalton,

sented, but no opportunity was wiyen.

Mozart and Beethoven.

Here is an interesting story, which does
occur i'm Louis EngePs most charming book
of anecdotes and "reminiscences OF musi-
clans, but which in points OF interest and OF
prettiness is OF piece with the narratives
contained therein. When Ludwig Bee
thoyen first visited the Austrian Court he
was sixteen years Of age. Wei provided
with letters OF introduction TO the Emperor
Joseph. he proceeded alone 10 the place, de-
termined 10 play his way into the affections
of the monarch. Admitted 10 the place, he
was met in an antc-chamDer by a very civil
gentleman, who told him that the Emperor
could not well receive him then, but would
be glad 10 have him present himself that
evening for an audience in the Augarten.
Attracted by the quiet and friendly de
meanor of this person, young Beethoven en-
oaeed i'm conversation with him, and pres
entity discovered that be was the Emperor's
barber, discovery arising from the stran-
GERS casual admission that he " shaved the
Emperor every morning."

Beethoven, sneeringly; she plays the piano
a little, and strums away on the NI0lOncella,
and cOmposes sOnatas. but, between you
and me, these big PEOPLE don't carry their
music studies very far, after all"
This honest expression OF opinion seemed
10 amuse the barber nightly he simply
roared with laughter.
That evening. at the appointed hour,
Beethoven came 10 the Augarten and was
shown into the music-room, where the En-
perOr and friend were seated In cOnyersa-
ton. Intense was the young musicians

and the Emperor were one But the En-
peror took the joke with such amazing good
humor that Beethoven, for his part, was
willing 10 forgive and forget lie

the Emperor's request improyised on

This he did so remarkably that his auditors
were delighted. The Emperor's companion
could not restrain his joy; running across
