Dixie's renowned Philadelphia minstrel
troupe, will give one entertainment only, at
Sober Opera House. The two gentlemen
comprising lb firm are well known to many
to tki vicinity, who alto know furl well
tbat Carncroes fc Dixey'a Minstrels are no

tbe excellence ol tbeir quartette, and tbeir

It la some time tlcce our citizen have been
favored with an entertainment of any eert,
we hope a large audience will welcome the
favorite to-night. Tbe programme I new
varied and excellent throughout, and well
worth the price of admission. We advise
II who attend to put a few extra atitchea

Woman triumphed in tbe Episcopal Con
vention for the Diocese of Kentucky the
other day. Tbe matter came up on an
amended canon prescribing who iball have
a vole in pariah meeting. A fearful conser
vative old fogy Reverend attempted te in
sert tbe word "male" la the canon so tbat
women who are pew holders should be ex
cluded from voting. Tbe convention re
fused ao to amend, but it waa defeated by a
mere scratob. Tbe Reverend who intro
duced tbe amendment made a speech against
woman suffrage, and be attempted to bring
in the Bible as authority, claiming, also
allowiug women to vote in parish meetioga
is mischievous. What would become of tba
churches were it not for the women? What
would ministers do were they deprived of
the aid women, give tbem? A minister
sboold be ashamed ol himself to attempt to
exclude women pew holders from voting.
He should have left that motion to be made
by some crusty old bachelor who can
not appreciate the value of woman in ber
efforts lo mako Ibis world' better. There ia
Do reason why women should ba excluded
Irom vestries, or boards of trustees, or from
any official position in a church. Churches
lean upon the women for very existence.
then Why not allow woman a voles to all
that pertains to the government ol religious
bodies?
An English paper reports tbe oase of a
mother causing ber boy to be arrested and
put in prison for attempting to commit sui
cide by jumping out ot a window. The boy
waa an iiodultful son, and tbe mother testi
fied she had often beaten him until be wai
black and blue but it did no good, so she
wished tbe authorities to take him lo band.
If that mother bad knocked her son down
a few times with an ax betve, or other eira
'lar rod of correction, it might have made
bim behave, the probabilities surely are
tbat be never would have been obliged to
jump from a window to end bis troubles.
Paiotlng children black and blue with a

Tut New Cointxrfsit Fiftt-Csnt
Note. The lollowlog are some of the
points of difference between the new coun
terfeit fifty cent note and tbe geuulne. The
bead ot Stanton has a different expression,
the beard harsh 'and ' stiff, the background
on the right of tbe bead irregular and
scratchy. Under some of tbe letters, and
but four in the genuine. In tbe word
'United States' the blank spaces between
the body of tbe letters and the ruled shade
are Irregular and generally narrower than
tbe genuine, which are of uniform width.
On tbe back of the counterfeit tbe hair
1 lines forming tbe turns at the top and bot
tom of tbe Italic letters are heavy; on tbe
genuine tbey are light and delicate. Tbe
red seal also differs materially from the
genuine in the forms of the letters, tbe dots
on tbe shield, tbe shade to the letters,
which are Irregular and on both sides ol the
letters, and tbe ruled lines forming tbe
background lo tbe shield. Tbe fibre paper
on wblcb tbe genuine notes are printed baa
been imitated by scratchy lines engraved on
the counterfeit plate. The pointa noted are
some of tbe most prominent, and by com
paring with a genuiue note can be readily
aeen. Ob examination with a glass- It will
be seen tbat the entire work differ from tbe
genuine. Tbe g eneral appearance of tbe
note, with tbe exception of tbe bead of
Stanton, might deceive those wbo do not
examine closely tbe money they receive.
Somethi.no About Babies. Talk about
babies! We always loved a baby not any
of your sour, suspicious, squallinic rjpeci
mena, but a bright, rosy, dimpled thing,
full of fun and frolic, running over witn glee
aud of eucb a confiding, unsuspecting dis
position aa not to refuse to go ta anybody.
Wttat can be more refreabiog In thia busy,
tiresome world than an occasional romp
with a baby? Abetting down as it were ol
chord of mind until it vibrates in uoieon
with a baby's, and then holding a confi
dential chat, in real baby vernacular.
Then to have a couple of white chubby
rma thrown about your neck, and a pair ol
roay lip,- fresh as rosebuds ere tbe dews
have left them, presented for a kiss. Tbe
man wbo can think of It without a aofleoiog
of the heart and a watering ol tbe tnoulb,
la no better than I he awine betore whom tbe
pearls are cast, and we hope be may never
be bleat with a baby or il be la, let him
be a kicking pugilistic baby one skilled in
in tbe art of gouging, wbo takea delight in
running his thumb into your eye, and I'
always trying to obtain a lock of your hair
by a more summary and unceremonious
process than clipping.
Cuwov. One of toe curious pbaaea in
tbe life of ao editor, Is tbe kind of corres
pondence be receives. For Instance be
sends out several hundred billa to bia pat
rons, and, of courae, expects a prompt re
sponge. But of the number there are about
fifty who respond cheerfully and promptly,
and give blm good words ot encourage
ment perbapa will ebow tbeir appreciation
of bis labora by sending bim another sub
scrlter. These are tbe true friends of the
paper. Next t comes a batch wbo lou't
think tbey are in arrears, but would trouble
tbe editor to make out a statement of their
account. Next comes a few, wbo waut the
paper stopped, without condescending lo
ask whether their bill is large or small, not
caring whether tbey pay or not, and falling
to use some barab expression, aa though
tbey were insulted by beiag asked to pay
what was justly due, doubtless thinking
tbat a printer is not of much account, and
not worth attending to. Last, but not
least, and really the lowest of tbe lot, I
tbat clasa of readers who never tb Ink o'
paying, aad though you may write and
write and weary of sending bills, these in
cline to respoud, and never we are surer
think of payiug. May tbe good Lord de
liver us from such.
