We have written several letters to President Roberts, asking Information concerning tbe Narrow Gauge railroid, which have either elicited no replies, or been evasively answered. A fa.v weeks ago we went to Independence to interview the gentleman on the subjeet of tbe extension or bis road, aud met him at tbe depot, on bis way to Kansas City.

We accordingly went on up the road, and made an appointment to meet Mr. Roberts kt tbe St. James Hotel, but when tbe hour arrived he was not on hand. He treated us courteously and affably, but It seems tbat he did not want to talk. The Intelligencer desires to see the road extended.

It has never lost a suitable opportunity to say so. We think that many property owners in Lexington township should contribute toward building tbe extension if it Is necessary but when we talk to tbe people we like to have something tangible to say. Mr. Roberts has uever appointed a meeting In Lexington. Neither he nor any one or his representatives has ever addressed our people on tbe subject or bis road and all that tbey know nbuut it tbey have gleaned from our reports of Mr.

Scammon's speeches made some months ago at Waverly. We submit that in these hard ti ni ps Mr. Roberta neeil not expect the people ot Lexington to ruu alter bun to present him money with which to build his road. We think tbat they are entitled to the courtesy of being properly solicited to assist in tbe enterprise Tbat tbe road should be built is generally conceded and that some assistance can be procured in Lexington and Dover townships, we have IHtle doubt but it will hat to be done by a systematic effort, aouietniug like the one which Is being msde by a gentleman on another line of proposed railroad not many mile south or this place. Reticence may be very good thing in its place, but to charm ducats from tbe pockets or tbe people tbes days, It Is neceaary to be open and candid.

They have been bitterly deceived In the psst and are very sby or enterprises wbicb do not explain tbemseltes openly and Ireely. Ir Mr. Roberts, or tbe present owners or the road, whoever tbey may be, are not ready to go on with the extension, let tbem say so frankly, and give tbe people eat of us, wuo are in serious need of an outlet in some direction, an opportunity to look to other sources. If they are ready to go on with tbe work, provided tbe conditions proposed by Mr. Roberts some months ago', are nearly or entirely compiled with, let them sppolnt a meeting in Lexington and lay the matter fairly before tbe people.

In all efforts for tbe extension of the road, as we have said to Mr. Roberts.and through tbe columns of this paper, tbe Intelligencer will take pleasure In lending every assistance In Its power. Skating Rink. Roller skating, like pi mo thumplne, round dancing, card playing and oyster eating, has become one of those fahiousble requisites wbicb it will not do to neglect in the educa- ion of our sons and daughters. Noonecan now lay claim to being thoroughly plisbed 'who is not auail in each and all of them.

Tbe three R's readin riting and i rltbmetic are all very well In their wav.but are not altogether indispensable to success In Itfe.wblte tbe former are as absolutely ar-en- ttal as are toe-nails to tbe mother of ten chickens, or cheek to tbe modern politician. Lexington Is never much behind in anything, and In most of ber "institutions' she is far In the lead of ber sister cllUa of tbe state. Her schools are the best her coal mines tbe most famous; ber cornet bsnd csnnot be ex celled her amateur musicians are acknowl edged far and wide as without their equals ber ladies are tbe fairest, auJ her men are tb bravest of tbe brave. While all tbi is true and undisputed, yet she has until re cently neglected tbe one essential tbat or rollerskattng. This as been remedied hy the establlshmeut of a "rink." and we can now.

with our noses to tbe sky, point wltb prtde and joy to the many "fair women and brave men" who can glide with dexterity and skill over tbe smoetb and polished floor ol our grand opera bouse. The accomplish ment of roller skating, ilk everything ele worth having or worth knowing, cannot be acquired without patience, perseverance and occasional hard knocks. Tbe truth of this was exemplified In a very forcible manner, last Wednesday nlgbt. To sea and reel, (for the house was shaken to its foundation upon numerous "gay gamboiere" come down upon tbe floor like a thousand of brick, after frantic efforts In retain their equilibri um, was enough to bring tears to tbe eyes of a stole, or blood from a turnip. But fortu nately no rerious Injury was received by any, and tbe fun and frolic continued until a lale hour, and tbe large number or ladle and gentlemen present went sway content with their evening's enjoyment, and satisfied that roller skatine was bound to be a favorite amusement with our citizens in We wish the enterprise success.

MISS BO YAKUTS CONCERT. I A Genuine Complimpnt toa Merito- rious Lady. Very littla was talked about last week i among Lexlngtoiiiaii but Miss Boyakin's concert.

Friday was an extrenisly bad day, giveu over to tbe evil spirits of a miserable north wind and an unaomprotnislng mow, and tbe young lady's frisnds feared tbat despite bar reat popularity the attendance at the Opera House in the evening would be small. They had misapprehended both the pluek of our inline lotiug people and t.ielr stroHg feeling ol friendship and admiration lor the fair heuellciary. ban the hour arrived tbe house was crowded with the beauty aud imiihood, not only or our city, but or the adjacent country and neighboring towns. Considering the wretched-Incsa of the weather the large attendance was a genuine compliment aud it was a deserved ore. Miss Hoyakin has beeu a teacher of vocal music at the Baptist Female College, iu this city, for something over three years.

During her stay with us she has done more to cultivate a taste lor a high order or music among our people than any person who has ever beeu here. No concert has been complete without her; and such amateur coucerls as our citizens have been treated to cannot ha preseuted iu any other city la the state, at. Louis, probably, excepted. Mias lioyaktu is lady of rare personal and mental charms, who has devoted her lite to song who has ulready master I the subtile mysteries or vocal founds, and whose services as a teacher have gone far toward giving the school with which she la connected a more than state wide reputation, liar voice is one of those sweet sopranos which grow in favor, aud whether in the clear, bell-like I sound ol lbs fullest notes, or in the bird-like warbling of the most difficult vocalization, it Is always charming. Lexington but does itself lienor In admiring it, and in giving voice to it admiration.

In the execution of the programme, which with the exception of two or three amusing eli ctions by the male quartette, was compos of tbe highest order of classical music. Miss Boyakin was ably seconded by ber pupil. Miss A. Belle Graves. mezzo-soprano ol rtcb voice and much culture; Mrs.

Swan Uower. the talented and highly cultured teacher ot music of Central College; Mr. A. W. Smith, the liuesl baritone voice to-day off the stage in the west; Messrs.

Chiles aud Conner, tenors; aud Lexington's Herr Klessmer, Prof. Charles Gimbel, Iu addition to our Incomparable Sliver Cornet Band, and tbe iulrth-provoking mala quartette. With such material the success of the performance was placed beyond a doubt before any appreciative audience The Interval before tbe curtain arises is always one ol the enjoyable seasons at a concert. There Is the glauce around to see what friends are present; the more Interested glance which ihe gemlemeu furtively steal to ace who is the prettiest woman in Ihe house, and tbe scarcely less Interested, not at all less penetrating, though probably more timid look which the ladles take to see who has the moat elaborate toilet. While the audience was from among lit cretin it la ereme ol our people, and beauty adorned tilled every row of chairs, we regret that our friend, Mr.

llagen, failed to light up tbe auditorium sufficiently to afford one the good view of the sea of lovely laei and bouqueis of pretty head gear, hich our tenantry Inspired us with a strong desire to see. hope that this oversight may not be repeated on any future occaslou. The waa generally veiy well lighted. The eutartamment lor the evening was Inaugurated promptly at the hour announced, hy the Lexington Silver Cornet Band, In Keller's "Grand KaoUsle." li la scarcely necessary to say that this tine composition was well rendered. Its interact was, however, somewhat marred by the fact tbat the house was not fully sealed, and tbat some unavoidable confusion was caused by partem entering tbe room.

A mixed quartette followed, by Mrs. liower, Mis tiravea. Mes-ra. Smith aud Chiles, "Good Night Beloved." by Pinsutl, wbicb was all) somewnat marred by continued arrivals. By tbe time the quartette bad completed Its role the house was wall seated, and all was quiet and eager expectancy, as Misa BoyaKin's solo.

"Ernanl Fly With Me," was the next thing upon tbe programme. This song, the gem of Verdi'a writings, has always been a favorite with Lexington audiences aud was sung by special request. When Miss Boyakin appeared she was greeted with a round of hearty applause: and while Professor Glratiel played a few preliminary bars the audience bad an op portunity of paying the silent bomag of I admiration to the lady's beauty which it I deserved. in a handsome straw rntnred tulle and Bilk, with a neat irarntfiire- Lf "accon-iwelrT. t0lflure wilh land bosom heaving under the pleasurable I excitement of the moment, she was a picture fair to look upon.

"One could but view the melody of every grace, and music of her face, and bait in fear, to see more harmony In her bright eye, tban e'er he'd bear." But, wban tbe full, rich notes of Elvira's pleading to fell upon the ear, tbe woman for the moment lost to sight In the eagerness not to lose a note of tbe dell clous melody, lf there can be an ovation In upturned races, suspended breath and rapt attention. Miss Hoyakln received it. Every aye was upon her, and when the last note lingered on the air, a atorm or such hearty applause as Is seldom won greeted the fair singer, and a bouquet of exquisite flowers fall upon tbe atage a gracetul tribute to our prima donna. In response to the centlnued plaudits tbe lady again appeared upon tbe atage, and Hang Carlotta Paul's favorite little hallad. "Come When You Will." The fourth piece upon tLe programme was a vocal duet between Messrs.

A. W. Smith and J. D. Conner, "The Army and Navy," Cooke, which was excel Isntly rendered, Mr, Smith's rich baritone and Capt.

Conner's cle ir tenor harmonizing with line effect. This was followed by a vocal solo by MU (iravas, "The Day is Done," Baif. Misa (raves, who la one of our moat cultured vocalists. Is a young lady of classic beauty with clear cut and regular features. She was dressed In a white tarleton skirt, trimmed with puffs and knife plaiting, with del Icate sprays of Ivy leaves and rose buds pale blue silk bodice, trimmed with point lace and pearl jewelry.

She looked una aually pretty, and was very much admired Her aong Is one which Is written In tbe best vein of a celebrated composer, and Is admi rably adapted to Longfellow's well known words, one stanz i of wbicb runs, "And tbe tilL'ht shall be tilled with music, and the cares that In test tbe day, shall fold tbel tents like the Arabs, and as silently stea away." And the night ua tilled with music, end the cares that infested the day were by Miss Graves' sweet music, thoroughly charmed away. She acquitted herself so well that she received a hearty encore, when she sang a vary pretty little ballad "I Love to Sing." Tbe next thing presented was a piano solo, by Prof. Charles Gimbel, "Hue Fan tatle," rrom "Othello," Rossini, by Herz This is a beautiful and very difficult piece ol music, and was rendered In Taiiltleas style The professor was loudly applauded, and lor an encore played a very fine though la difficult piece of music. The closing piece of tbe tirst part was a vocal duet by Miss Boyakin and Mr. Smith 'Quanto Amore," lrom "Elislr d' A Donizetti.

The audience bad promised themselves a great deal In this song, and were not disappointed. Itis a quite difficult piece or vocalization for both parts and was excellently well sung. It was loudly and persistently applauded, but owing to tbe length of the programme and Misa Boyakin extended role In the third part no encore wae granted. Part second opened with some serlo-comle by Edward Beyer, by tbe band Anioug the-e selections are some perreot gems or music, and the baud surpassed its- eelf In their rendition. he sol'is by Messrs.

Gi orge Zeiier, Jam- Zeiier and a. v. Smith, were especially tine. As an encore the xentlt'tuen favored the audience with a medley ot jigs, in tun midst of which was given a lirM-rate Imitation of tbo old Sroieh bacj-pipe. Tbo leading feature of the second part, to lovers of vocal music, waa the aolo from I.ucla di Lammeruioor, "Ah 'Ti tbe Hour," by Mrs.

Swbu Oowcr. Mrs. Gower bs a very sweet voice, ot considerable compass and volume, which she has takeu pains to cultivate has heard a great deal of line music, and reuders her selections, which are always from tbe highest order of classic music, in artistic stylo. She la a lady or many personal charms, ami was handsomely dressed In a lavender silk, en traine, with point lace overdress, festooned wilh cardinal flowers, aud diaiuoud jewelry. Mrs.

Uowersang with much reeling, and admirable execution, the difficult part which she had selected, and pleased tbe audience so well tbat sbe eat vociferously applauded, and on ber return to the stage sang Gotls-chalk's "Oh lovimc heart, trust on, trust on." Thle was followed by a piano duet, "Semlraiulde," Rossini, arranged by Czeruy, Tbe exquisite skill with which this piece of music was rendered could only be thoroughly appreciated by lovers of piano music. Ihe fair pianists and ber proficient companion, covered tbemaelvea with glory. Tbey were heartily applauded, but declined to play again. Mr. Soma's solo bad also beeu looked forward to with interest.

With all the musical talent that Lexington boasts, hie clear, full baritone would be sadly missed. Thoroughly trained, good In tbe high as well aa tbe low notes, eorrect in time, inflection and expression, Mr. Smith ha a voice which It is always a pleaeure to bear. His selection for this occasion waa from La Sonnamhula, "As I view these scenea so charming," and be sang It to perfection. Aa an encore be esng "The Bell Uinger." Miss Graves, Messrs.

Smith and Chiles sang a trio, "I Navlgantl," which was well received by tbe audience. Tbe second part of tbe programme concluded with a very laughable "Frog Chorus" by Ihe male quartette. Amid considerable melody could be beard the croaking of tbe he old hoarse frog, the nolsu of tbe middle sized frog, and the high note or the wee little frog. Before it was half through the audience was convulsed with laughter, and the applause -cane like the noise of an avalanche. For an encore the gentlemen sang a negro song, "Bile dal cabbage down," which "blled" the bouse Into a roar.

For a second encore tbay sang negro shucking song, wbicb, though comic iu its character, concluded with cx- uislte melody. At ancient feasts It was customary to pre- ent to the guests the beet wine first, for reasons uol necessary to slate here, but at this feast of music aud flow or soul tbe beat wine was reserved to the last, when, in the bird part. Miss Boyakin. ably supported. ppeartd as Leonora, in the celebrated Tower Scene, from Verdi's II Trovalon.

Mr. Chiles sustained tbe character of Man- ico, Mr. Cornier that of Ruiz, and Messrs. Jacubi, Zeiier, Sinauer. McKee.

Haerla and mttb sang the chorus ol the monks. Our readers will remember the plot, but for a better understanding of tbe scene we will tin give a brier synopsis or It. The Count Ii Luua, a powerful and vindictive noble man, having overcome Manrlco, tbe trouba dour, In battle. Imprisons blui In one ot tbe towers of bis castle, and condemns him to atb. Leonora, hearing ot her lover's Imprisonment, but not kuowlug that be 1-senteuced to die, accompanied by her frieud.

Ruiz, on a dark night, seeks an interview with mm. She appears at the loot or the ower, sings a recitative aud au aria, dis misses Ruiz, and ia shocked to hear I -be monks within chanting the mlserera, "Have compassion upon a soul departing, lor that abode from whence there's no returning thy forgiveness, oh, power divine imparting, let blm not be a prey to endless burning." Detracted at learning tbat bar lover is to die, she exclaims, "What voices of terror, for whom are they praying? Wilh omens of rears unknown they darken tbe air. New horrors assail me, my senses are straying. my vision Is dim, It Is death that Is near." Manrico, within tbe tower, uuable to see. but only to bear ber, sings to her a song of farewell.

Leonora, torn with anguish, bears her lover's song, and the monks' sad chant, and gives way to the waitings ot ber heart. Manrlco repeats a song of love and farewell, and the scene closes with a grand aria by Leonora, in wbicb sb renews ber vowa of ove, and determines to attempt to aave her lover, or, falling, to die wltb blm. Miss Boyakin was most becomingly at tired for this scene in a dress cousisling of a combination of black silk and velvet, with court train an overdresa or black lace; a girdle or gold and jet a long Spanish black lace vail a coronet of jet and diamonds, and liamond Jewelry. Mr. Chiles, as Manriea, and Cspt.

Conner, Ruiz, were a.pf!ropri-ately clad. If Miss Boyakin looked bewitching when she first appeered on the stage, sbe was even more so In the sombre robes assumed for this part, wbicb brought into bold relief her fair complexion aud burning eye. It Is always difficult to play detached scene understanding to an audience, but to those ho had taken the paina to consult the libretto her acting, from tbe moment tbat she and Ruiz were first seen cautiously feeling tbelr way through the woeds in seach of the foot or the tower, to her exit from tbe stage, was magnificent. Her gestures were as expressive as the claarly enunciated words or woe and anguish which fell In liquid music from her lips, aud her every move ment was full of gracelul palbos. Her sing ing was tbe perfection of melody, and re ceived the highest praise In the breathless suspense wltb which her audience listened to bar every note.

Mr. Conner acquitted himself well in hi short role; and Mr. Chiles, who was in unusu ally good voice, sang bl part exceedingly ell. Tbe chorus wa finely auug, and tbe rendition of tbe entire scene was very cred itable to tbose who took part. Prof.

Gimbel deserve special commend tlon for tbe masterly inner In whicn be played tbe accumpaulment to tbe varioua vocal renditions. Mr. Boothman Is also entitled to a word of praise for the very appropriate "Tower Scene" which he painted expressly for the occasion. To Measra. Trigg and Allatadt, utbers, to Mr.

Hugh T. Wilson, doorkeeper, and to Mr. John K. Arnold, Ireaaurer, tbe audience le under obligations for polite courtesy. While the coucart wae a benefit, pioflered to Miss Boyekln by tbe leading ctttzeus Lexington, aa a slight testimonial or tbelr esteem for her as a lady and an artiste, the pleasurable occasion has but placed them under additional obligation to ber for an evening of unalloyed enjoyment.

Ha waa educated at a country echuwl iu the neighborhood, aud in married hia cousin, Misa Betsie Young, who died February 7th, lsTti. For hia wife he cherished the loudest affection; treating her even in their eld age with tbat chivalry of deference aud dovoliou which her high mental and moral jual-ilications entitled her to. With a physique andmaguiflcent constitution, Colonel Young was a bale aud hearty man until tbe death ol his wire. So thoroughly did bia love for ber entwine itself with hia very life thai her demise was the signal for thw breaking up ofthe phyatcal forcea withtu him, aud, bis health lulling biiu, he gradually went down to Ibe grave. During the prime of hia life Colonel Young, though uever a place-hunter, took an active interest in public utfairs.

In 131 lie waa elected to tbe legislature of 1 en-naaaee from hie native county, rather against hia will, aa he had almost determined to remote to Missouri. In Itai he sent his lauiily to l'etlis county. Id tbia atale, where he settled theiu near hia mother, but lelt it incumbent on him to serve out the lull term for which be bad bean elected to the legislature, which he did at considerable personal inconvenience to himself. In 1H3J, having jaiued Ina family, he removed to Lafayette county, to a place afterward known as the "ISaker farm," on theSm; aud in he settled on the farm upon which he died. He waa electee to the legislature of Ibis state in In'so' aud aerveu until ltU in the lower nouae; be aervet in the alate senate from ISt'J to 1341.

Alter this time, white Colonel Youug always took greati merest in all public conflned hiinsell to hia avocation as a farmer, and was notrauch in political life. During the war be waa a strong Ciuou man; but on very many occasions was enabled to ha of great service to bia neighbors, nearly all of whom were aoutbern in their aenti-menta. In politics be waa always a democrat of the Jackson school. In religion he was an Old School Presbyterian; having connected himself wilQ that church in Tennessee, iu lai'l, and ever afterward remained an active uud conststeul member. In all hia intercourse with Ids fellow men Colonel Young waa an upright, honorable, christian geuth-man.

Aa be had lived, ao ha died. Tne writer paid.hiin a visit ou the Sunday before his and iu response to the expressed desire that he might soon be better and recover from hia he replied that he waa ready to die. "My days ot uselufuess are over," he said, "I know that my redeemer livelh. In him I Irual. Why should I wi9b to live longer?" Aud in other earnest words he fthowa-1 mat his mind waa at rest.
