The Eject of Music.

1t Is curious TO note the influence Of
music in n mixed crowd, says the New
York Sun. In Central park on Sunday
at least rs many as ten Thousand per-
sons were within hearing of the band
when it suddenly struck up Strauss
waltz. Tho crowd was divided, and
half were moving toward the lalie
while half were facing the park gates.
All were so nearly packed together that

to it with their steps, and then to sway

count for 1t until they approached near

INVENTORS OF CANlKDs.

There seems to be Il small clionc in
Roanoke who delight in starting absurd
and enormous stories on an average of
three q week. The stories are invaria-
bly, run to the ground and squclched IN
the course of twenty:our hours. but no
such wel,-merited fate is visit upon
their ingenious ociginators.
The week started of with a cock and
bull story that President Kimball had
foated loan o'$7 900, eco fl the Nor
folk and Western in Europe This is
untrue and President Kimball is not
trying to feat loan Of $1,000, 900 in
Europe.
The next grand story to go the round $
was hat the Roanoke Machine Works
had been leased for ten years to the
Baldwin Locomotive Works OF New
Jersey, and were TO be Immediately
started off full time, with n flourish Of
trumpets. This story mates up very
we'll with President Kimball's s., 900, OF O
loan, and is just about as true. The
Roanoke Machine Works will continue
uRder their present management,
Just what the next story will DO Is un-
certain, but it will probably be to IL @
effect that the Norfolk and Western
railroad has teen sold to Chinese syn
dictate and will be exported to China ia
about three weeks.

The Marrow Escape from Death of d
Temperance Lecturer.

u
Temperance Lecturer.
Some weeks ago, writes Wisconsin
correspondent of the Youths Com
panion, young temperance lecturer, in
his travels from town to town, fell in
with an Indian, who made signs fer q
ride. He was allowed To- get into the
buggy, and pretty soon It appeared that
he was intoxicated
The lecturer, who believed IN being
instant in season and out OF season, be-
gan forthwith to labor with his pnssen-
ger. He dwclt upon the disgrace and
death which follow the use CT liquors,
and wound mp by cntrcating him to for
sake his cups.
The Indian did not understand word
OF the cXhortation. but Judging the lee
turer by himself, thought fro:a his
pleading eyes and earnest manner that
he wanted n drink. Accordingly he
drew large black bottle from under
his blanllct and offered it TO the white
man.
The lecturer was clated. He had made
n convert, he thought. He took the bot
tie and dashed it to the ground, where
it flew into thousand pieces.
The Indian could not havc been
angrier if his scalp had been threat
ened- He sprang from his seat with u
trssnE}sndo9a war whooP, seszsa the
white man by the arms, dragged him to
the ground, beat him in the face, and
was reaching for his knife. when the
lecturer managed to break away and
ran at his best speed for the next town,
where his wounds were dressed
affair he meant well, but showed lack
of Judgment
