Our Internal Visitnrs

mercy on as ! Satan IN Paris Ism e q
circumstance Here we have Brownlow
and the Black Crook aud the DEVILS Rump
all at once. What with the red devils and
the green devils at the Adelphi. and the
black devils and the white devils at tie
Capitol, poor Nashville is bedeviled as
she never was before. We msy hope,
however, to escape the ''6zue devils, from
the very abundance of diabOlicsl amuse-
ments. And, fortunately, the clerk of the
weather has lowered the temperature in
the very nick of time else Nashville
would fzzle into space from spontaneous
combustion.
There is several points of difference bet
ween the Black Crook and the DEVILS
Rump. The one histrionic; the other is
historic. The one is leg end the other is
azJ-end. The one is fictitious the other
real And we fear the fictitious must suf-
fer from tbe proximity of the real. Devil
in buskins viii not compare with devils IN
carnate. The one acts his part; the other
acts his heart. The one struts his brief
hour in birthstone and doffs the character
the other inhales ulphur with every
breath and cannot put off his nature. The
one pretends devil for greenbacks the
other IS devil for gold. Besides Mana
ger Flynn does not understand the Internal
business half so we'll as William Goddess.
On the other hand, The devils of the
Adelphi are pretty, while those at the Cap
itol are unspeakaby ugly. The former
are civilized and refined, while the latter
are uncouth savages. The former have ''a
method in their madness" while the latter
are crazy as bed bugs. In short, the for
mer are domestic animals. while the latter
are wild beasts of prey. For this reason
the former may be approached and observ-
ed with perfect safety while no lady or
child can get in sight of the other without
incurring great risks. Therefore, while
many sight-seers will prefer the truth in
its nakedness, many others will rest content
with the vrajsena5Iance in its nakedness.
Asjournallsts, we shall endeavor to re-
cord the diabolic capers of both classes
and if, occasionally, we smell of birthstone,
country readers may know that We are
fresh from the one show or the other.-Ga-
zette.
A GREAT NATURAL CUR1OsIrr.-Itis is an
undoubted fact that mermaids are numer-
ours in the Kaw river in Kansas. Last
week party of young men out hunting,
came suddenly across six mermaids who
were desporting themselves in the river.
On the approach of the young men the
beautiful creatures 'lit out" for the woods
uttering shill cries somewhat resembling
the screams of frightened school girls.
What made the matter more singular
and mysterious is The fact that The young
hunters found six waterfalls, six hoop
skirts and six various &c.'s, on the banks
Of the river. Naturalists will please make
a note of this.
A colored witness was examined in a
Washington City court to prove the iden-
tity of white man the other day.
District Attorney-"Didn't you see the
man %
eyes, sab, I seed him"
"Was be a white man %
Don't know, sah.''
"Do you tell me you saw the man, and
cannot say whether he was a white or
black man 90
Eyes, sab, seed him but dar's so
many white fellers calling demselves mig
gers round here, can't tell one from
toder."
Witness dismissed explanation salts
