VIENNA August II, 1879


Yesterday morning Francis Joseph, accompanied
by his Or other and many OF his SUITE came to Lax
enburg to say farewell to the Shah and they had
breakfast together. About ten O'Clock His Persian
Majesty drove to the station, accompanied by
the Emperor. There were in all about 200
persons In attendance. 1t was very warm. Lax
enberg seemed to have wearled OF the pivot OF the
universe and did not care to turn out and speed
his parting. mass Of the miscellaneous parapher-

their way slowly to the depot One carried cage

THERE has been good deal of talk about establishing a literary society in Tue son, and we are bound to say that much worse talk might have been, possibly has been, indulged in. Itwould not cost much to rent and fix up a room and supply it with papers, magazines, and some books. The room would be pleasant resort for strangers and many residents. Our people generally could meet there and exchange views on questions of public and perhaps Of private policy. A friend of ours suggests that such a society might pay much of it's expenses by a course of lectures by learn ed and local orators. And his suggestion is not without point and entertainment, if acted upon. There is hardly a town of any size in "this great and glorious Unionn that has not it's literary society and some have religious societies. The lat ter are not necessary anywhere, or there would be more of them, but the former or a public reading-room is almost indispen- sable in every well regulated and pro- gressive community. We have no doubt but some of our owners of buildings would rent one for such a purpose at fair rates, and we can be counted on for a fair monthly contribution, and we harbor no doubt but 50 to 100 others would not be out done by the liberality of newspaper man. On this point, we'll not be dogmatic but stand ready to witness an attempt at dem-

For the past few weeks, Samuel Hughes

 has been engaged in building and fitting

 up rooms for the public school which is eX

 pected to open very soon in Tucson. Re gently MT. Hughes purchased the building

 and back ground, on the east side of the

 courthouse plaza, formerly owned and oc-

 cupied by P. R. Brady, and since that he

 has erected a new building on the ground

 between the Brady one and the county jail The former building has a principal room 39Xl5 feet and one on either end l5Xl6 which

 may be used as recitation rooms or be readily connected with the main one; and

 the latter or new building has room

 4lXl512 feet. The rooms of both buildings can easily be connected by doors. The

 principal ones are well ventilated and sup

 piled with light-the larger room having five ample windows. A substantial porch will be put up along the full front of the

 buildings and one is already up in the rear. It is in MT. Hughes programme to plant

 trees for shade all along the front; and If the county supervisors will give the labor

 of the prisoners to sink holes in which to

 plant the trees, he will set a row of them

 along the entire front of the jail, sheriff's office, courtroom, recorder and district judges offices. There can hardly be d doubt of this labor being cheerful ly given to promote so excellent and liberal a prop OSitiOn. The back grounds of the school rooms now have some green trees and they will be SOWn with seeds and Watered with care until nice green Sward is grown for the children to play upon. A swing will

 be put up right away and everything done to attract and make cOntented the pupils. Convenient Out-hOuSeS are up, a well of good water is on the ground, and the walls about the yard are all that could be desired. MT. Hughes is deeply interested in the success of the public schools, as is every good and liberal minded citizen, and he is determined to spare no labor to put the buildings and grounds in the cOmpleteSt order the circumstances will permit. It is

 a great pity the seats and desks are not bet ter adapted to school purposes, but we

 have occupied worse and then made fair

 progress. However the trustees would act wisely when more are needed to send to San Francisco for them, because they will

 cost but little if any more when brought

 on from there here than when made here,

 and in addition to their being heater and

 as durable, they are every way more con venient and acceptable to pupils and

 teacher. The manufacture of school fur niture is now as much of a speciality in the

 United States as of any other furniture.

 It is very rare indeed that school officers throughout the country ever supply their dist jets except with the improved kind, as

 it is always found best and as cheap in the end. But Tucson will do the best it can now and better as fast s1S possible. Teach CTS may be expected here from Stockton within a week or two at latest, and the good work of teaching our children with

 out charge to them, be begun in earnest, and we hope will never be stopped except for proper vacations.

MANY dogs persist in boldly running at large in Tucson without any collarin such cases made and provided by village ordin- ance. On our way down Main street to breakfast a few days ago, we counted twenty-siX dogs almost in front of the vil- lage marshal's residence, and could see morning, there were only fourteen dogs and six collars at the same point on our Broadway. A legal mind would probably think that there should be less dogs or more collars, but the average citizen might hold it to be a great hardship to have less of the beasts or pay for more necklaces for them. The subject is re- spectfully submitted to our village pa rents. SelfSacrficing citizens have been heard to say that a less number of dogs would be an endurable privation in Tue son.

WE heard a gentlemen remark the other day that a firm floor of boards in the dis trict courtroom of Pima county, would be a sensible improvement and one that all willing taxpayers would approve if made, and we herewith print the same for con SideratiOn of the supervisors. If that large room had good floor, it might now and then be rented for concert and theatrical exhibitions and thereby reimburse { h e county for the outlay. The room would be very creditable to the county and more cheerful to criminals undergoing the pun ishment of trials. Many of our business men are substituting board floors for the dirt ones. In any way the subject can be viewed, we think the supervisors would do a wise act and one acceptable to large majority of the taxpayers, if at their next meeting they would contract to have a good floor put in the court-room.

 SOME weeks ago, THE CITIZEN mention ed that a firG-proOf vault was about being built in the county recorders office.

Tax ON Insurance Companies and Bank,


I'm Tennessee,
Special 10 the Appeal


JACKSON, June The court, Free
man delivering the opinion, decided the
revenue cases in favor of the State, city
and county against the stockholders in
the banks and insurance companies
The decision is based upon a provision
in the constitution of the State requir.
ing taxes to be equal and uni
form. The court holds that
the legislature had no power to
fix a special rate of taxation upon cor
porations or stockholders therein, under
the guise of an annual bonus in lieu OF
all other taxes or otherwise. The court
fully conceded that if the Legislature
had the power to grant the charter pro-
viding for an annual tax in lieu of all
other taxes, that this would exempt the
stockholders; but the court says that,
under the constitution of 1884, all prop
erty must be taxed equal and uniform.

Speaking of the Black Crook combina
tion, shortly to appear at the Academy of
Music in this city, the Savannah Republican
says:


The "Black Crook was received last
night with an enthusiasm which it we'll
merited and thoroughly deserved. All who
are delighted with graceful dancing, elegant
posturing and the thousand beauties of form
and figure which can be brought out BY the
combinations and figures OF the ballet with
out in the slightest degree transcend.ng the
bounds of mOdesty or strict prOpriety, can
not fail to be delighted with the entertain
ment presented to them at the Academy.


Those also who were enraptured with the
grand old style of strong melodramatic
acting will find their tastes catered to:
those who like good songs, sung by pleasant
voiced young ladies and accompanied by
an orchestra which thoreugly knows its
work, will go away highly pleased; those
who delight in fine scenic illusions, and all
etfect-in short, all persons who enjoy q
good melodrama, admirably performed can
not fail to be highly entertained by Bidwell
& McDOnOugh's Black Crook Company.


Of the comic portions OF the play itself, it
is little to say that they we're excellently
done and provocative of that hearty ap-
plause in the shape of uproarlOus laughter
which is the comic actors most grateful
need. The interpolated comic scenes in
trOduced by NJ. Hernandez and troupe were
received with shouts of laughter, demands
for repetition, and in certain cases persons
in the audience were affected with laughter
SO persistent and hysterical that it became
almost painful.

Grunewald Hall was filed to it's complete


capacity with brilliant and fashionable

artist. in whose education abroad the public


of New Orleans have taken so deep an in


terest. Master Kaiser has been, evidently,


well taught, and is an apt and perfect pupil


on the noble instrument to which he has


devoted himself. There is no attribute OF


the violin which he does not command. His


use of the bow is graceful and free. His


positions and control of the instrument &C.
cord with the best examples. His chords
and harmonies are accurate, expressive, and
manifest confidence in his school. His ex-
preston, softness and force are adequate to
the execution of the most difficult compost
ton, andtis reading was ready. Perhaps the


beautiful theme first chosen, from Mar
g,serite, in Faust" embodies and illustrates
as perfectly as any thought of the great
composer, all the qualities which an ambi-
tious violnist would command. Master
Kaiser executed this theme with admirable
force and emotion, and illustrated it's effects
with the most brilliant execution.


There is evident in the style of this young
artist the restraints of an accurate cOpyist.
The pupil admires the master too much to
depart from his instruction in the most
minute particulars. This is but the first
work of a perfect mechanism. 1t is proof
of just construction; it will work more
freely. and yet as finely, with more use.
Master Kaiser will, with more confidence,
gradually lose his devotion to example and
eliminate style of his own. With his
foundation of his studies, and with growing
power to apply the teachings he has adopted
with such fidelity, he will in due time rank
as master on the most difficult as it is the
most expressive of instruments.

Zeiss Dennis has lost nothing of that power
