tend? Oh yes, we went on our cheek,
as usual. We anticipated being sold
and would have been disappointed il we
hadn't been. but there was no disap-
pointment in store for US. We didn't
stay to the concert, and we are told by
good authority that we missed the
worst part of the performance. and ma
turally feel somewhat sore about it.
Miss Abbie Darlington. the worlds
famous prima DONNA, gave us first
class entertainment last Thursday even
ing. Miss Carrington's singing is
above the ordinary. She is mistress of
her voice. and can vocalize at will.
Her articulation, trolling and phrasing
are perfect, and her execution shows a
remarkable degree of versatility. She
was accompanied by Mr.. Steven,
pianoist of the highest order. He failed
however. to please the audience. The
best musician in the world finds it
difficult task TO obtain music from the
instrument we have in the hall Mr..
Carington's drumming was excellent.
he gave us a sample of what we may
expect on the 26th of next month, when
he will appear in this city with piano.

William Smith, who has been in the
employ of j. Z. Barnett & Son during
the summer driving dray, met with a
serious accident last Friday, which will
necessitate his being idle for some time.
The particulars as weget them from the
injured man are substantially as follows
He had loaded his wagon with ice from
the ice house at Carriers bridge, and Lad
taken his seat in front of the load. AS
soon as the horses started the iolting of
the wagon caused him to lose his bal
ance and he slid down behind
them. He was in such position that
he could not get out, but kept hold of
the lines, being dragged under the wagon
nearly 70 the bridge. He received sew
eral bruises on different parts of the
body, the most severe being the injury
! TO his left foot which was caught under
the rear wheel of the wagon. Mr..
Smith is indeed fortunate to have es-
capped with his life, and Notwithstanding
that he is so badly injured, is thankful,
he says, that he was not hurt worse.
The present is prosperous time for
everybody, for businessmen, farmers
and labors; and, yes, its splendid sea-
son for that egotistical superhuman be-
ing, commonly known as the dude.
But we're not particularly interested in
the dude. although we must admit that
they display degree of progressiveness
in manipulating their chosen occupation
that might be successfully practiced by
business men and others, who have a
| desire to attain success. A dude never
lets an opportunity, to display his wealth
of good manners, artistically trained
mustachio, or latest style "toga," es-
cape him and thus he advertises him.
self, and often, aye, too often, appears
as being of perfection to those on
whom he is designing; but he achieves
success and the secret is, he advertises
his aYocation. Business men and in
fact all others who have anything they
wish TO dispose of quickly and profit
ably should adopt the methods of the
successful dude, and advertise their
business.
The unprecedented inactivity and
languidness in political circles has evil
IDENTIFY been overcome to some extent
by both democrats and republicans.
The democratic gathering at the city
hall Saturday night, of which the Hon.
Edward S Bragg, of Fond du Lac, was
chief exhorter. was remarkably well
attended. In fact it was impossible to
get seat thirty minutes after the hall
opened, but of course a large number
of those present wore anti-free trade
badges, which stigmatized them as
republicans, who were out to hear what
the little general would have to say
from curiosity and respect for the war
veterans. A man of such prominence,
unquestionable ability and fidelity to
cause as General Bragg, ought certainly
to draw out the democrats for miles
around the spot where he happens to be
at. Saturdays meeting was a success
and the demos are jubilant, therefore
we refrain from saying anything that
would cast a gloom over the good feel
ing SO manifest in their camp, and
leave them to wander on blissfully and
hopefully to defeat in November
