VINO IS That a BEARING ?-The
solemnity of leading church in this city
WAS thrown into commissions on Sunday
for It's own sake and for its suggestiveness,
with reference to current questions of
church music. Somebody's pet three year
old had been trained to experience great
delight at low growing intonations of the
human voice initiative of the bear. Dur
ing the rendering of one of the hymns at
this particular morning service, one Of
those troublesome Christians, whose de-
votion is helped by singing at church, but
who sing nowhere else, and for that reason
keep their contribution to harmony 10 the
background by being out of both tune
and time, was annoying all within four

snicker went the rounds of those who un-
derstood the palpable hit, and it is under
stood that this juenile is in great demand
to be loaned TO pewholders whose vicinity
is afflicted with these pests of sanctuary
worship, the growlers, and snuffiers, and
speakers, who persist in foisting their
counterfeit notes upon the current of
sound, which they affect to believe are
helping to realize congregational singing.

TIE "WLD Mans" SroHr IN ONO

1HE "h lid MANS" STORY IN ONO.
-Gallipolis is excited over wild man,
who is reported to haunt the woods in the
vicinity of that city. He goes naked, is
covered with hair, is gigantic in height,
and ''his eyes start from their sockets"
A carriage, containing a man and daus Ia
ter, was attacked by him few days ago.
He is said to have ''bounded at the father,
catching him in grip like that of wise,
and hurting him to the earth, falling on
him and endeavoring 10 bite and scratch
like wild animal. The struggle was
long and fearful, rolling and wallowing in
the deep mud, half suffocated, sometimes
beneath his adversary, whose burning and
maniac eyes glared into his own with
murderous and savage intensity. Just as
he was about to become exhausted from
his exertions, the daughter, taking courage
at the imminent danger of her parent,
snatched up rock and hurting ii at the
head of her fathers would be murderer,
was fortunate enough to put an end to the
struggle by striking him somewhere abou:
the ear. The creature was not stunned,
but feeling unequal to further exertion
slowly got up and retired into a neighbor-
ing copse that skirted the road.''

AN ECCENTRIC CAI. Marvellous stories
IN regard to a cat owned by M. EdoarIy
OF Meredith, \. ii are told by the Con.

often going after rabbits and catching
them. II any of the family went into the
woods Tommy would go too and seek for
game, and if separated from the party
would climb tree 10 find the direction in

catching squirrels, and the boys would put
him'on a stone wall while they started the
game One afternoon Tommy caught fif-
teen squirrels in this manner. He would
wait any length of time when put down
IN place and told to stay there. One
day the cat brought rat to Mr.. Z n ho
skinrei 1t, which seemed to please pussy
very much, and he was told TO catch more.
Renceforth Tommy made it his sole occu-
patton to catch rats and see them skinned
The hides were fastened on the barn at
distance Of few feet from the ground,
and thirty-seven trophies were in time dis
played there. One day Mr.. E., being
busy, would not skin rat which Tommy
laid at his feet, and drove him away rath-
er roughly. The cat went off in high
dudgeon, with his back and tail up. and
never after would catch a rat, though
other game continued to suffer. Further
more, he tore down all the rat skins fasten-
ed on the barn, 10 show his resentment!
This remark able cat was killed few
months ago by being caught in fox trap.

BAcHELoKs, LOOK OUT.-It has been
demonstrated that married women on an
average live until forty Eve, while unrnar-
ried women do not live to be more than
forty-rhree years of age. An exchange,
therefore, charges that every man who
refuses to marry shoFteas some woman's
life just two years, and thus practically
commits homicide, and follows mp the
allegation by calling on the grand juries to
find bills sgainst bachelors over thirty
years old.

INV am hia -
Considerable excitement has been caused by the
opening Of this new " temple Of the drama" From
the commendatory descriptions published at length
in the daily papers, the public naturally anticipated
a gorgeous and comfortable interior to the neat and
substantial building-and the most sanguine expect
atoms are more than realized. I cannot hope to de-
scribe in my limited space, the varied attractions and
novelties (to Californians at least) that have been
embodied in the construction of this eliice-the con-
vcnient arrangement of the auditorium, the hand
some decorations, the excellent methods of egress,
fine ventilation, comfortable seats, and the surround
ings generally, characterize this new theatre as one
Of the finest in the country.
Among the decorations that add much to the
beauty Of the theatre. are handsomely painted panels
on the front Of the balcony circle. The artist, Mr..
c.. J. Denny, has given Us several Island scenes, IN
GLIDING Diamond Head, and other views near Homo

TIE female suffrage movement is
taking form and shape in Missouri
y st. Louis dispatch of Thursday
says that delegates of the Woman's
Suffrage Association were received by
the Legislature in joint session that
afternoon, and treated with marked
respect. John g. Garrick, Speaker
of the House, was called to the chair
and made short speech, taking
strong grounds in favor of female
suffrage and making this republi-
can government in fact as it is in the
Dry. Mrs. John s. Phelps made a
few remarks, giving an outline of the
reasons why the women demand the
ballot.
But the principal speech of the oc-
casion was by Miss Phoebe w. Coz
zens, of ST. Louis, who delivered a
long, elaborate, and very eloquent
speech, going over nearly the whole
ground in question and making many
strong points. She was listened to
with unusual attention and frequently
applauded. Lit. Gov. Stanard, Sena-
tor Harbine, and several other mem
bers spoke and took very decided
ground in favor of woman suffrage
After tie adjournment of the conven-
ton the suffrage petition was circu-
lated, and Gov. McClurg, 1t. Gov.
Stanard, and some seventy or eighty
Senators and Representatives
signed it, which almost assures that
an amendment to the constitution
striking out the word male will be
submitted to the people as a separate
proposition at the next election.

DEAR LoTTA-I just received your

you to learn to do as I tell you? Now
you have gone and sent my things

where to find them? You just say,
"Your shirts will be in a box" Now

Where did you send them, and how?
If you wanted to depart from my in
structions, why did you not write to
me at the same time you sent the

That is all / have to say on that
