One of Handers violent exhibitions of
temper nearly ended tragically. Atare-
hearsal of "Otho," Signora Cuzzoni de.
clared that she would not sing the air
"Falsa imagine" in which she afterward
had very great success. The ruling
spirit of the great man had already been
irritated by some symptoms of insubor-
dinaton, and this declaration carried
him quite beyond bounds. He flew at
the rebel, saying:
Il always knew you were very devil,
but / shall now let you know that l am
Beelzebub, the prince of the devils!"
Selling her with one hand, he ran TIC
the window and swore that if she did not
sing the air Immediately he would throw
her into the street. She was afraid, and
sang it forthwith.
1t was we'll known that Handel could
not bear to hear the tuning of instru-
ments, and therefore this was always
done before he arrived at the theater. A
musical wag, determined to exact some
amusement from his irascability Of tenn

soon as the prince arrived Handel gave
the signal to begin, con spirito, but such
was the horrible discord that the en-
ragged musician started up from his seat.
and, having overturned a double bass
which stood in his way, he seized a ket-
tledrum, which he threw at the leader Of
the band with such violence that he lost
his full bottomed wig in the effort. With.
out waiting to replace it he advanced
bareheaded to the front of the orchestra,
breathing vengeance, but SO choked with
passion that utterance was denied him.
In this ridiculous attitude he stood star.
ing and stamping for some moments,
amid the general CONFUSION of laughter.
nor could he be prevailed on to resume
his seat until the prince went in person
and with much difficulty appeased his
wrath.
The musicians in the orchestra used to
prognosticate the state Of his temper by
a sign which shows how extremely inn
questionable he was. He wore an enor-
nous white wig, and when things went
we'll at the oratorio, it had certain nod
or vibration, which manifested his pleas

A TALE FROM THE TABLE.
The story of Wrecked Life and Its
Tragic Ending.

"Some years ago, saia the gambler as
he lay back talking to a Philadelphia
Press man, Il was in California, and
while there ] frequented very fashion
able place. There came to that place
every night young man. We all liked
him, because he seemed rather innocent,
aud many of lis gave him the advice to
stay away, but he only smiled and said
he would some day.
"One night he came, looking rather
pale, for lately he had lost very heavily.
He sat down and commenced to play in
an excited manner; but game after game
he lost. He took out his pocketbook and
placed all the contents on the table and
lost. Then l saw him turn pale and take
a package from his pocket and stake
that-it belonged to his frm-and he
lost it.
After that he passed in his watch and
received the cash, staked that and lost.
Two of his rings followed and were lost.
We all felt sorry for him and heartily
wished he would win. At last all he had
left was thin gold ring, not worth much.
He looked at it, and the expression that
came over his face is one that l shall
never forget.
"He passed in the ring, and although
it was worth about 81 the cashie ad.
vaned $50. He played, and the boys put
up all his money, the firms money, his
watch, and rings against his $50, and he
won. Then, when success came, he laid
his head on his arm. We waited five
minutes for him to get up, but he did
not, and then we lifted his head up and
saw that he was dead.

which changed his luck was his dead

SPEAKING AT ERIN.
Political Issues Discussed by ]. E. WASH
ington and j. H. Mcdowell.

The speaking near Erin yesterday
between Joseph +. Washington and
j. II. Mcdowell was attended by a
large crowd Of people and the speak
ers were given close attention.
Mr.. Washington opened the de-
bate, speaking about an hour and Il
half. He reviewed his work in Con-
gress, arraigned the administration
of the Republican party in scathing
terms, and spoke against the Ocala
demands of the Farmers Alliance
He was followed by MIR. Mellow
ell, who of course favored the sub
treasury scheme, government control
of railroad and telegraph lines, and
the land loan scheme.
Mcdowell, in his reply, character
lied Mr.. Washington as an ignoram
us, who did not know what he was
talking about, rasping Mr.. Washing
ton to the extent that in his rejoinder
he made waspish reply, character
izing Mcdowell as a knavish office.

DoWell denounced the epithet, if in.
tended to apply to him, as an in
famous lie. Mr.. Washington admit
ted that the language was stronger
than he should have used, there be-
ing many ladies present, and he
retracted it. Mcdowell also retrac
ted, and the matter was amicably
settled, Mr.. Washington left imme.

from the city, on the Port RoyaI
road, September %. After this ap
pointment Mr.. Washington will

Those who attended from here say
it was one of the most orderly crowds
they have seen at any political
speaking this summer. Good din
ner, consisting of barbecued meats
and their accomplishments, were fur
nished in abundance by the people Of
Houston county. The GAINESVILLE
contingent returned on the evening

TOBACCO TOPICS.
The Pretty Weather Greatly Improving
the Present Crop.

The merchants of GAINESVILLE are
complaining of the hot weather, but
it now seems that it is the best thing
for the country. The tobacco crop
was little backward and the long
spell Of pretty weather has given the
farmers Il good chance to harvest it
in good condition, and the cool
nights with heavy dews have tended
to thicken the leaf. and it is now
safe to assume that large per cent of
the crop will be saved in fine order.
The Western Tobacco Journal on
this subject has the following, which
will prove interesting to tobacco
grawers and the trade generally:
"More perfect tobacco weather
than we have had another week of
could not he experienced, conse-
quently reports about the Western
crop are extremely favorable-with
more color than at one time seemed
probable in the Greensboro district.
Both there and in the dark stem
ming districts of Kentucky one-half
of the crop will be cut by this time,
with reports of specially fine quality
in particular districts. Complete alb
sence of worm cut or any other dam
age to the leaf, the only peg the
dyed in -the-wool-croaker has now
to hang on is that frost may
overtake what is not yet ready
for the knife. With two more
weeks of such weather as we have
had of late-hot during the day and
cool at night-with dews to thicken
the leaf, the bulk Of the crop will be
secured in fine order. The balance
which may be left will be of little
consequence in year like this when
the trade everywhere throughout the
world can afford to hear of all the
said balance being frozen black, with
the even chance, however, that il
will also be safely housed.
"In the GAINESVILLE district twenty.
five per cent. has been cut. In lead
ing tobacco counties, such as Robert
son, one-third has been cut, with as
much tobacco as last year ripened
nicely, and next week, if favorable,
will not leave twenty-five per cent
in the field"

FIRE AT DOVER.
Horse Flesh and Valuable Property &c
Up in Smoks.

A letter from Dover to the Ameri
can dated Sept. 20, says that beewecn
the hours of II and II o'clock on the
night of the 10Th inst, s. ID. Scar
brough's livery stable together with
several buggies, large To-
of hay and several sets of harness
were destroyed by fire. AS it was al
an hour, says the letter, when all the
business houses had closed and all
the citizens had retired for the night,
the fire was under full Roadway be
fore it was discovered, and it was hy
great effort that the large building
occupied by J. II. Weaks, G. ID. Nor
row u Co dry goods merchants, and
j. b, Walter, family grocer, also the
building occupied by j. II. Green,

buildings, were saved. Two valu
able horses and one mule, the mos
valuable stock in the stable, were
cremated alive, while several othel
horses and mules were held
by strong halters in then
stalls until they were burned
so badly before they could be cut
loose as to render them valueless
The loss is estimated at between
$1,000 and $1,000, with no insurance.
The stables and all the adjacent
buildings being large frame struc-
lures, insurace agents have refused
to grant policies on them.
There are various theories as to the
origin OF the fire, but many believe
it was the work of an incendiaIy.
