SENSATIONAL PLAY.

A piece Is now being performed ut
the Corea Theatre, Rome, which ex-
cites the widest agitation every night.
II bears the terrible title Of "The
Mysteries Of the Spanish Inquisition,
with the Seventy-seven Thousand VIC
tins OF Torquemade." This last, tho
Grand Inquisitor. is one Of the chief
personages in the drama, and after
having ordered aud prepared to wit
ness the burning Of the Jewish Rachel,
Is himself seized on by a band Of con-
spirators, and tied TO the stake in place
OF the unoffcnding victim. But to give
even faint idea OF tho cries, eXecra-
tlons, and indignation Of the audience
as the work proceeds, Is quite impos-
sible, and the critic Of the Haiie de-
clares that on the night when he witt
messed the representation. he heard one
young man say to another: !" And
Just to think that there are many other
beautiful productions like this which
we are not acquainted with, and all
because the Pontificial censorship has
always prevented their production.
What can be more shameful?

When DR.. Walker Of California introduced

medicine was not q mere palliative or al
leyiAtiye that only modified the symptoms
Of disorder; but that 1t reached the very
scourco Of the malady in the blood and
the secretions, and literally rooted It out.

PattCnlng Animals.

Numerous experiments have been made
on geese, ducks, pigs, bees, &C., which go
to prove that these animals accumulate
much more fat than can DO accounted for
by the quantity present in the food. N.
Flourens had the bears In the JardIn des
Plantes fed exclusively on bread, and they
become excessively Fat. Bees confined
to a diet OF purified sugar continue to
produce wax, which strictly belongs to
the group of fats. But, whatever It's
source, the excessive use Of non.nitrogcn.
Gus food, coniOlned with inactivity, fire.
quently leads to the deposit Of an inor-
dinAto amount Of olesginous matter. This
fact Ia illustrated by numerous instances
both among the lower animals and among
men. At strasbourg, the geese are fat.
tened by shutting them mp in darknened
o6opS within heated room, and stufilng
them constantly with food. The high
temperature lessons the escape of heat,
and thus favors the process. Here all
the conditions for iusuilng obesity are re-
sorted to, viz, External 'heat, obscurity
inactivity, and the. cralnhing"of the ami
mails with fattening food. A still greater
refinement for pandering to the appetite Is
resorted to by the Italians, who relish the
fat Of the ortolan. To procure this In
perfection the natural habits of the bird
were watched, and, 1t having been found
that It only takes food at the rising OF the
sun, they cheat the birds by producing an
artificial sunrise. To effect this, the orto.
lans arc placed in dark, warm cham
Der which has but ont aperture in the
wall. Food being scattered over the
floor, a lantern Is placed ut certain hour
In the opening, when the birds, mislel by
the din light, at once commence feeding.
The meal finished, the lantern Is with
drawn and more food scattered about,
when the ortolans sleep. Two or three
hours having elapsed, aud digestion being
completed, the lantern is again made 10
throw its light into the apartment. The
rising sun recalls the birds to the habit Of
again feeding, aud they again sleep with
returning darkness. This process Is re.

hours, and In a very short time the orto.

And then at Is closoAn angel
Stepped over tho threshold stone,
He folded thtlr hands together,
He touched their eyelids With balm.
And their last breath foated upward
Like the olOse ola solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they trlvsaed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the Beautiful City,
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, in that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers Of vanished spring-timc
Shall bloom in the spirit's track.
One drAught Of tho living waters
Shall rcstoro bus manhoOd's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love that Outlives time.
But the shades they leit behind them
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made sacredto us by the kisses
The angel imprinted there
Wen hide away in the meadow
When the sun Il low in the west,
Where the moonbeams cannot end them,
Nor the wind disturb their rest,
but wen let no tell.tale tombstone,
With It's age and date, arise

Wednesday afternoon aS Mrs. W. G

her, evidently DESTROYS Of making an ut.
tack. Being some distance from the house
too far, in fact, to reach the door before
the mad dog could seize her, the alright.
ed lady thought Of her own faithful dog,
which she called to her assistance. Hear.
ing the screams and call Of her mistress,
the dog, with an alacrity which seemed to
spring from consciousness Of impending
danger, bounded forward in time to attack
the mad dog just as the Infatuated beast
was about to seize Mrs. Woodruff. Now
ensued q conflict between the two dogs
which lasted two or three minutes, ena.
bling Mrs. Woodruff to get into her house
and slnt the door. II was doubtful which
would prove the mastery, when colorel
nan came 10 the scene of conflict. No
sooner had he neared the dogs than the
rabid one attacked the cOlored man, who,
having picked up fence rail, defended
himself IS best he could. 1t was with
difficulty he kept clear of tho dog, which
endeayored to spring upon him, hut was

by the colOred man. Mrs. Woodrnff7s
faithful animal was badly bitten and con.

smoked up by 0I many wliirlwinls. Al

appeared TO be ten feet in diameter and
one thousand feet in height. Although
they wallEed about over the plain for
two or three hours, they never came TO.
gethGr or never lost their cylindrical
form, and when they did go down they
went down at once all falling together.
These sandspouts, ssysA local paper, are
well known to all old prospectors and
seem to indicate change Of weather.
We have frequently seen in the Forty
mile Desert, east o. the lower Sink Of
the Carson, not less than ten or fifteen
OF these tall sand columns moving about
over the plains at the same time. 1t Is
seldom that they come together, but
when they do they dart forward like two
flashes Of lightning, and nn explosion
like heavy blast ends all. and the two
columns OF sand at once fall to the ground
