"msAxBs7 AND MOST IGNORANT"
That's What Mr.. Goings Said About tho
Richmond People.

Mr.. Frederick A. Goings, Of Canada.
who has recently done good deal Of
canvassing In this city In the interests Of
some Shakespearian readings. which he
purposes giving in Richmond sometime
during the latter part OF this week, VIII
hardly display his literary attachments
before an overwhelming and highly APP
preciative audience, owing TO series OF
indiscretions he was guilty OF during
his sojourn hero.
Mr. Golngs is an Irishman by birth, and
q Il. al worshirper at the shrine Of the
great English dramatist; but, with all
his culture, he has failed to observe
the fact that a man can't make literary
fliends bv grossly slandertng then. TO
axe long story short, the admirer OF
Shakespeare seemed to have been piqued
from the fact that Richmond people we're
not inclined to tear their hair over his
literary achievements, and adopting the
"Fcx and Grapes" policy, he proceeded
to abuse his patrons that were to be.
Entering a prominent lawyers office. Mr..
Goir gs became Somewhat confidential.
end inquired OF the lawyer If Richmond
was a criterion of Southern cities.
"In what respect?" asked the lawyer.
'Tn regard to intelligence and culture"
''Well, should say that Richmond is
at least one of the most cultivated cities
in the South replied the lawyer.
From what i can judge" continued
the literateur, "the people OF Richmond
are the meanest and most grossly ignorant
of any people have ever met"
The lawyer sat up more erect. Don't
you think II rather bad taste for you
to make such remarks to me. and about
people you expect TO patronize your"
he asked.
'Well, that Is my candid opinion"
but I do not care TO hear It, and /
shall not listen to another word OF It,"
announced the lawyer, rising from his
seat, while the Canadian left the ROOM
and afterwards repeated these and similar
criticisms to several other citizens of
Richmond.
Mr.. Goings, who brought with him a
letter of accommodation from a gentle
man in Petersburg, may have been too
deeply absorbed In his literary efforts and
prospects to recognize his gross mistake,
and will probably not realize the blunder
until he finds that empty benches are not
very appreciative Of readings by man
who may be thoroughly familiar with
Shakespeare. but sadly lacking in judg-
ment and policy. II is more than likely
that the gentleman from Canada will not
have an enthusiastic audience when he
attempts to expound the beauties and
merits OF England's great literary idol.

FROM THE ARHORT.
The First Regiment Is Fully Prepared for
Any Emergency.

Everything was rather quiet at the
arnIory Of the First Regiment last even.
ing Colonel H. c. Jones. the commIn-
dant, was, OF course, at his post OF duty.
but nothing transpired OF public interest
Some OF the boys were still talking about
the orders. which reached here on the
previous evening from Mayor Trout. OF
RoGroke, who had requested Brigadier-
GCIeral Anderson 10 get the regiment In
readiness 10 respond 10 any call at short
notice to come to Roanoke. This re-
quest was made by the authorities Of
Roanoke In view OF the forthcoming re-
port OF the grand Jury. In order to queil
any possible disturbance right at the
start.
AS soon as the information reached
General Anderson. there was lively
skirrnish all over town. Cabs were sent
out all over the city after the commits
stoned officers and the first sergeants OF
the different companies. Conferences
were subsequently, held by those in COM
mand OF the various companies and
everything was at once arranged 10 secure
a prompt assembly as soon as Il should
have become necessary. Fortunately.
however nothing OF the sort became
necessary, but It is understood. that on
very short notice the regiment can be
assembled and put on a train, TO meet
any emergency.
