There was an entire change OF bill at this house
last night. Besides two new sketches and o SEN
satl0n called the "Livng Fountain or, the Bath OF
the Innocents" there was also given the burlesque
extravaganza OF 'Lucretia Borgia.n The whole
performance went or very smoothly, and Barney

applause e Closing piece On
the evening was the buresque or ''Lucretia
Borgia." For an extravaganza 1t was most ex-
travagantly stupid, both IN acting and In con-
struction. To be at all successful burlesque
should have the merit OF brightness; It's jokes
should be fresh, the business new and the acting
good None OF these does this piece possess. Miss
Harrison az Gennaro was as bad as was Miss Mon

to listen to the singing If burlesque to be given

Let your pastors nife alone. Do not make
her the subject of criticism. Find no fault if
she docs not work in the Sabbath School, or docs
not spend all her afternoons in visiting the fam
llios OF the parish. Do not forget that she has
household cares that arc az important to her as
yours arc TO you that the interests of her fam
ily demand her presence at home, and that if
those home interests prevent her from dong
work AZ Sunday school teacher, it is very uni,
Just as well as unkind to sit in Judgment,
against her. AS to hor visiting, she is not your
pastor, but your pastors help aud companion.
Ills interests, and the family interests, and tho
whes personal interests are to govern the uso
oi tmo and not tho oxorbtant demands Of the
parish. Hor duties arc responsible and ar
duous Visit hor to cheor and comfort her, not
70 crlueise her. And whom she visits YOU, treat
hor with such conlidonco and kindness al will

The author is a telegraph operator. not

He has Just reached Cairo from Texas

A mysterious fever has broken out.
which takes its victims in from half an
hour to an hours time, with horrible
certainty. The doctors call it dangua
pneumonia. but seem powerless to cure
it. The winter has been very mild in
Texas. Frost was not felt. The heavy
rains have washed bare hundreds of bod
les of the yellow-fever victims of last
summer. and it is only too probable
that this disease is q more malignant
form Of the epidemic, springing out Of
the poison arising from the remains o.
the last. Parties are busy re-interring
the bodies washed out by the rains, but
they are numerous, and are all near
enough to the surface to taint the At
mospere, and a terrible pestilence must
almost certainly be the result.
