Mr. Gibbard. COUNTRY SCHOOL. Pleasant Kntertaininent iiven at tlie Opera House taut Thursday Night. The Herald tips its figurative head-piece to the successful managers cf the above entertainmei t.

Hoth above aud below stairs were rilied witii an admiring multitude indicating that the tiuaucial leatures of the "Country School" were as good as the humorous sidaof the ques-tiou. The cast of characters was appropriate aud well chosen; an important consideration in view of the fact that actors' work must have been improvised for the occasion. Mr. Wilson, as an ideal pedagogue of the Ichabod Crane type, was laughable as well as extremely ludicrous The 'Deestrict Committee of may be regarded as au "amphibian' school trustee. Iu such a view of the case, the antique specimen talks aud acts iu strauge harmony with the living genius ot that type.

The others, Squeers, Sniugp, aud Honeysuckles; liobbetts, Suatchetts aud Peterkins, are too rich and racy for a separate detail. If amateurs could be taught to open valves of the throat aud rill an audience chamber with an actors'voice, a great desideratum would be accomplished in that branch of the art. The only other piece of fantastic criticism to be attempted by the reporter is a slight artistic incongruity of blending a few modern customs and personages with the characters and habits of thinking peculiar to the past age. Nevertheless, the "Country School" met with the reception accorded a beautiful aud popular woman. She is all the more attractive because she has a few fashiouable foibles.

The wax works were a fitting finale to the evenings entertaiument. Mrs. Jarley acted as if she had been cast in the mold of nature for the special purpose. Her two inimitable assistants were worthy of tbe training received from tbe celebrated mistress. The violin olo by Mr.

Guest showed the ease and facility with which a most difficult piece of music could be executed. Miss Belvy Lockwood was a humorous, if not a practical, side of the spinster situation. The Herald congratulates the management on its perfect success. The object inspiring the actors to appear before the footlights was a good and grand cause, and righ nobly won success. BIG TIMBER DEAL.

John Moore, Jr. To say it is beautiful is but faint praise; for I regard it as exquisite. Musical in system, faultless in rhvnie and pure and touching in sentiment.

This I call poetry. This is the poetry of Durns and Goldsmith. I have lib use for poetry of a metaphvsical or transcendental character. If I must have philosophy or metaphysics, or history, let me have it in cold prose. I did not set out to write a disquisition on poetrv, or to compare one writer with anotherbut I will say that there is to me more real heart-felt poetry in this little effusion than in very many of the minor poems of Tennyson.

I know the current of the literary world is against me. I can't help it, 'But I believe one half of Tennyson's ardent admirers do not really and liillv understand one half of what he says, in many of his poems, or if they do, it is at the cost of much labor and study. This is not poetry, or not what it is intended to be. Let me except from these remarks, "Enoch Arden," "Locksley Hall" and a few others, which exhibit the divine afflatus' The "Blue-grass Plot" is a little poem that goes at once to the heart; presents a graphic picture of the scenes of childhood in its gleeful innocence, awakening in our hearts the sweetest, yet the saddest memories. We hope, and shall look, for other productions from the same pen.

Yours etc. Columbia, May 21. W. S. F.

Law and Order Not in It at Nashville Any More. Hoodlums, Led by hattanoogaiis, Invade the Jail aud Station House, After Frank AVeems Repulsed by the Police Two Policemen Hurt. Nashville, May 21.

Special. Last night the law was overridden again in Nashville, and a bloodthirsty and savage mob entered the county jail and would have ransacked the police station but for armed and determined iolice. There was talk on the streets all day yesterday about lynching Frank Weems, the negro who was brought here from Chattanooga and placed in jail on the charge of outraging Mrs. Mavity, in Chattanooga, Wednesday. This certainly would have been done last night, but for the fact that Weems had been removed from the Davidson County jail and sent away, presumably to Memphis.

Of this fact the mob which assembled last night was not aware, and only a thorough search of the jail and police station and the residences of county officials convinced them that their intended victim was out of their reach. About dark an unusually large number of men were seen passing up and down Front street, in front of the jail. These groups increased in size, and about Silt) o'clock some one on the square tired a pistol, and soon "00 men and boys, yelling and talking, were gathered on the square. The man who lired the pistol was self constituted leader of the mob, and suggested that a committee go through the jail and see if the negro was there. The committee at once proceeded to the jail and called Turnkey Watson, demanding that he deliver up Weeins.

Watson said Weems was not there. "We want to search the jail," they veiled. "You can't get in here," said Watson, closing the door. The committee returned to the Square and reported. A man with a slouch hat, and claiming to be from Chattanooga, mounted a goods bo, and made a speech, volunteering to head an attacking party to the jail.

The mob then proceeded to the jail, some of them climbing the fence. About this time Charles Snyder, one of the Hoard of Public Works of Chattanooga, made a speech, suggesting that the crowd wait and let the negro be dealt with when he was carried back to Chattanooga. The mob was not satisfied to wait. Mr. Snyder and three others, as a committee, went through the jail, but Weems was not found of course.

Jailer Willis' residence was then searched, and here some one said Weems had been removed to the po- police station. "On to the station! shouted the mob, and across the Square they weut, yelling. The riot alarm had been rung and every policeman in the city was at headquarters. With guns with fixed bayonets they formed at the Market street entrance to the square, where they halted the mob. Cheif Clack said the man tney wanted was not in the station house and he would not permit the mob or any committee from the mob to go through.

The excitement was very great here, and several rocks were thrown at the; police. Chief Clack was hit in the side, and Officers Terry and Bardell were seriously hurt. The police were greatly incensed and were not easily restrained from firing into the crowd. Finally a committee of well-known men were permitted to go through the station house, and reported that the negro was not there. A few more speeches were made and the mob finally dispersed about 12 o'clock, most of them going across the railroad bridge.

They searched the homes of Constables McGuire and Allen, who were said to be the parties who removed the negro, but be was not found of course. POLITICL POINTERS. Shelby County sent a Cleveland delegation to the( May convention. The Booth Carolina Alliance Indorses tbe Ocala demands and denounces Cleveland. Piatt, Clarkson and others have decided to bring out Blaine for the Republican nomination.

Cleveland gets one-half of the Virginia delegates. An Indiana Republican olub has declared for Blaine. I.
