MARDI.GRAS IN NEW ORLEANS.

The "Mistick KreWe of the Crescent
City have gained great and deserved re-
nown for their yearly pageants. There
is, perhaps, no place on the habitable-
globe which surpasses New Orleans in
the splendor and taste which she lavishes
upon the last day of the Carnival. In
I'll the wild, mad "abandonF of the Car
nival at Rome, beyond the-cOstumes, and
the showers of "confetti,n there is moth
,ng comparable to the gorgeous displays
which hold the spectator of a New Or
Mardi-Gras spell bound beneath the
magic wand of Comus.
We think, hOWever, the wand of the
| great Enchanter is losing somewhat of
it's power. The choice of subject for the
| last Mardi- Gras celebration was lacking
in all the clements of popularity. Not
more than one out of fifty who were
present had ever heard Of the Darwin
ian theory, the pageant was intended to
represent. They saw a gTOtesQue col
lection of figures ascending in the scale
from Zoophytes to the accredited papa
ape of the human race, but this evOlu-
ton of the species was to them a mere
shifting panorama without meaning.
Even Audubon's ornithOlogy exemph-
| fed in 1872, was. considered rathera des-
cent from previous representations, on
the score of popular nOn-cOmPrehensiOn.
But that was hypercritical. The inten-
ton was to do honor to a great and good
man-a son of the soil, whose works are
inthe hands of educate dpersonsthrOugh
out the world. The representations of
hisfeathered companions were exquisite,
and if any of the spectators were ignO-
rant of the meaning of the pageant, they
belonged to a class to whom all sights
are spectacular and nothing nor The
idea Of a leading thought behind this
assemblage of color and d" g~rotesQuerie'
no more enters their minds, than the
laws of the air-cuTrents perplex the little
boy who flies his kite in a March wind
But the Darwinian theory offers nc
pleasant or salient points of interest tt
even those who are most familiar Will
it. 1t forms q disagreeable subject, th'
chimera of a crazy-brained savant, wht
unhesitatingly purlOined old ideas ant
wrested them to his own debasing con
illusions.
Granted that the Mardi-Gras celebra
ton was intended as a satire upon tn
Revolution of the Species" a satire lose
its point when it is not understood.
There is so much in the history of tn
world, and even the history Of Louisi
ana so full of generalinterest, and strik
ing dramatic effects, that we cannot i'm
agine the "Mistick Krewe" at a loss 70
) suhjects0f more suggestive interest tha1
"Darwin's'descent of man, A publ
pageant should touch a popular chord
and the Lord forbid that in Lonisian
this vile theory should ever become pop
I ular.

Am Awful Cat Catastrophe.

Nj. Snyder of Washington enjoyed a
genuine surprise the other night. The
roof of his house, for some reason, had
become a fayoFite resort for all the cats
in his neighborhOod and they used to
c0ngregate out there at nights by thou
sands, and yOwl and screeCh, and prAC-
tice their gymnastic exercises, until
Snyder and his wife and his mOther-in-
law would go almost crazy. Last week
some snOW remained on the roof, and
Snyder undertook to wash it off by
sluiciAg three or four tubSful of hot
water over the shingles. The conse-
quence was that i'll an hour the entire
roof was as slippery as anything in the
world can be That night, while Sny-
der was sitting at his bedroom window,
gazing out i'll the moonlight, he saw Il
cat suddenly dash downward through
the air with a paw stretched toward
each point of the compass, its FUR eLe-
waited, and its lungs emitting a terrific
yell. In a minute down came another,
past, and before it reached the ground
Il fourth came pelting down, and then a
fifth, doubled up and clawing at the
ather and the moonlight for a hold and
so on until about one hundred and fifty
had descended. Then Snyder Thought
it about time to investigate the phe-
nomeuon. He assembled the garnet and
looked out through the trapdoor. There
he saw a procession of six or seven hun
dred cats, reaching, in single file, from
the yard up over the shed and the back
. building to the crown of the roof of the
house. They were all moving; and as
the cat at the head of the procession
reached the peak of the roof it woult
look around for u minute and wonder
where its predecessor had gone. Thcr
its feet would slip. 1t would clutcI
and claw and grab at the ice; but still
it would go sailing down with ~increas.
ing speed until it reached the edge
when it would shy ont into space ant
dash off toward the pavement. I
was interesting to Snyder to observe
the process. He never before realized
the beauty of the law Of nature which
attracts bodies to the earth. ThOst
cats never climbed his roof again
Eighty-four died on the spot, and it j
believed that 400 of them broke thei
legs and abandoned the nocturnal sere
nading business permanently.-[Ma2
Adler, in the Sunday Dispatch.

Mrs. Darlington says: For my part
| can't deceive what on airth eddication
is comm to. When I was young, if a
gal only understood the rules of distrac-
ton, and provision multiplying, repleR-
ishing and the common dominator, and
all about the rivers and their arhituaries,
the covenants and their dormitories, the
provinces and their empire, they had ed
dication enough, but now they have to
demonstrate suppositions about the syc-
ophants of parallelgrams to say nothing
of oxhides, asheads, eowsticks, and alb
! struse triangless." And here the old lady
was confused with technical names and
broke down.

Dyspepsia is the most perplGXing of all human
ailments. Its symptoms are almost intinit" in
their variety, and the forlerH and Respondent
victims of the disease often fancy Themselves

also to the fact that any disturbance of the iii

to some extent, the quality of the blood. \
