the name of Remenyi and his artistic
work that4to say anything further here
would be superfiuous repetition of the
plaudits accorded him everywhere. His
praises have been sung on two CONT
nents, and his fame is only circumscribed
by the limits of civilized nations. He is
easily the most popular artist on the
American concert stage. 1t takes the
rural journalist to write q thoroughly APP
preciative musical criticism. Here is a
write-up" recently given the celebrated
Remenyi in an Illinois paper:
When it gets right down to question
of what's what, this man Remenyi can
out-tiddle any man in Adams county,
barring no man, black or white. He was
at the opera house last night, and If he
wasn't old Rosin- the-Bow for about an
hour old Rosin-the-Bow never lived. He
fiddled up one side and down the
other-,hoppity hop-skiip and jump. You
never heard such music in your life. He
can take violin and hold it as hired
man would catfish, and he can make it
sound like the celestial choir singing as il
their hearts would burst. Maestro Remen-
vi trains at $50 pounds, and his head is
as bald as an onion and as yellow as
ginger. Quincy Wing.
When last here the reception which was
accorded to Remenyi on his appearance
was an ovation which swelled into a
tremendous wave OF enthusiasm after his
spirited rendering of the three movements
of the GODDARD concerto. So insistent was
the applause that he was compelled to re-
peat the canzonetta movement, give two
more encores after that, and then come
out and bow his acknowledgement half a
dozen times before the audience could be
satisfied. The engagement is for two
nights, commencing Thursday evening,
March 14th, and Saturday matinee. The
reserved seats are on sale at the A. W.
Berry book store, 100 South Spring street.

similar construction, embodying series
OF bright ideas to surround telling drama
tic action. Both Elliott Gray and Rosa
Leigh are comedy heroic parts, different
in style from any seen in similar dramatic
constructions, and it may be said that
Miles McKenna, while instinctively bad
at heart, may be numbered among the
novelty stage villains. Fabatha Stork
and Bumbary kobb have both
been given peculiar style
of low comedy work, and fetching to a
degree, a notable deviation from the con-
ventional, while the balance of lengthy
cast follows in the regular vein. The ac-
ton of the play is laid in five acts and
eight scenes, in which love, hatred and
abduction are pleasingly told and in but
one instance-the climax to the third act
does it border on the sensational.

{ their motives are good and they follow the course that their intelligent white friends prescribe. True, his excentrici- ties, peculiarities and possibilities are
 legion, and would make volumes of reading matter. Uncle Toms Cabin" the only book I have ever read in which the principal characters were negroes, has had the biggest sale of any book ex- cept the Bible. It was written to excite sympathy for the bondaged negro. The report from the literary department of the negro exposition building shows that he is an author of no small count. This was all news to me. More than 200 books are in circulation, about the same number of newspapers and several mag azines, all of which have been praised by the most severe critics in the literary world. Their churches upon an average compare favorably with those of the white men, their homes in some instances are simply beautiful their school houses bear evidence of ambition and zeal in that direction.
 Of course this has all been encouraged by the white man, but if you find a negro who aspires to anything above his dog and gun it is an idea of books. Their idea of religion and preachers by the wholesale is often quite ludicrous. There are so many types of our southern ne- gro 1 believe 1 will drop him as to his wilds and ways
 Governor Atkinson of Georgia and Governor Oates of Alabama have each during the early June days made talks at the leading negro colleges of the states Such things have never been done before. It iscertainly encouraging to the negro to see the governors show such deep interest in their advancement.

TREND OF THE TIMES.

Cuba and Spain's little family trouble is acquiring a serious form Cuba, it seems, has outgrown parental authority and wants to set up for herself minia- ture government, but Spain continues to try and bring the ungrateful child into subjection. Cuba has our sympathy, but not to such an evtent as to entangle us with Spain. It is claimed that Cuba has already had much help from the United States, but in private way. Hon. Henry Clay Armstrong, superintendent of edu- cation of Alabama, has recently received an appointment to Madrid. Let us have peace all along the line.
 Even department clerk finds thorns among the roses. One hour of their Sat urday's time is withheld by recent de- cision of the cabinet officers, and they must now work until the appointed hour for closing Saturday, the same as other days. This extra hour, which the clerks have been taking, seems to have been another one of the unwritten laws which the cabinet has overruled. No path is all brightness; the little shadows will come, but they only come to show us the many blessings that we really enjoy. While the employees of the government are reaching out of this one hour of self, countless hundreds of people of the United States would be glad to have their work and pay with all the required time punctually filled.
 North Carolina has always been pro- gressive enough, but I never considered her an overly ambitious sister until last week, when she claimed juvenile col ored new woman''-quite a curiosity She preaches-holds services night and day. The colored prodigy is only years old and claims conversion at IS months old Where is Georgia? Only last year Georgia claimed the youngest preacher on record, but he was boy some F or 13 years of age-quite tame by North Carolina's prodigy.
 The year 1895 is destined to work a sig nificant era in the history of the south ern negro At no time since the eman- cipation have the southern papers shown such a perceptible interest in their progress as they are now displaying and they are being shown up to the public in their Sunday dress. There has always existed a bond of tenderness almost akin to affection for some of the old family servants and the people are always glad to note any improvement in their old family negroes, even if they represent new generations. But the new era shows up the better class of negroes, in regard to their educational advancement. All along we have had educated negroes. wealthy negroes and professional negroes, but we have made no boast of it. just admitted that such things existed. And the lights are all burning; there is nothing that will give a telling effect that is not shown of the dark corners as all searched to gain the valuable. to show Q curious world just what southeFn negro can do when
