threatening weather, they were not greeted
with the crowded house their performance
merited We can assure those who did
not attend, that they missed one of the
greatest treats ever offered jackson

powers, and magnificent soprano voice,

laughter. The Hungry Army" is de-

by the inimltable Watty Wallack was a
series of changes of character, performed
with marvellous rapidity, and yet each per-
fectly distinct and true. The Wallacks

long before they will again treat our citi-
gems to another Of their rich feasts.

Golden Trout.

j. NJ. Hutchings writes to the San
Francisco Post;
While on recent exploring and
Photographic trip among the sublime
scenery of the high Sierra, In some
laughing streamlets of the Whitney
meadows and vacinity, ut the head
waters OF the Kern river, aud at an al
titude of 900 feet above the sen, we
discovered these beautiful fish. Their
bright sides were flashing and fitting
through the water like jets of fire.
Then, collected in shoals beneath
projecting rock or bank, would light
up those dark recesses with their gilt
tering sheen. Challenging our admira-
ton, as they did, an effort was needed
to restrain our impatient eagerness TO
clutch them. What materialistic men
we are sOmetimesD Our 2ampingground
selected and animals unpacked, we set
out to capture some with our hands.

Grafton of thine art. In the solitude of
these mountain Businesses these attrac-
tive creatures had not yet learned
mans wiles, and must confess it, in
few minutes we had caught over
fifty.
While adopting the more scientific
method of hook and line to supply our
camp, DR.. A. Kellogg, botanist and
naturalist of the expedition, made a
drawing and the following notes: The

Sound Logic.

We clip from an article in the
Columbus, Georgia, Enquirer, some
remarks on advance show advertising,
which we heartily endorse:
Having found it an impossibility to
please every one, we have long since
given up the profession, and least OF
all do we cater to itinerant showmen.
The policy of this paper has been TO
be very lenient to 'shows in general"
We have appreciated the hardness OF
the times, the expense attending trav-
cling companies, and have allowed
the use of our columns to their agents
to work up paying houses, and have
been exceedingly generous III our crlti-
cism, passing over in faint praise or
silence mady frauds which have
been practiced upon our theatre
going public. We have done so,
trusting that with returhlng
prosperity the managers wouid
give our people the worth OF their
money. 1t appears that some OF these
"show people" get very much offended
at anything the papers say that does
not defy them, satisfying their con
sciences that they give full value for
all PROJECTORS bestow on them by CIV
ing few complimentary tickets. In
fact these people begin to believe they
honor the papers of the South by theii
presence and patronage.
These travelling agents are generally
very important personages, and en-
deavor to lord it over all coming III
contact with them, and think they
confer a lasting favor upon a newspa'
per by giving them a five dollar adver
tisement and two or three compli
meptary tickets, and that a paper mus
give them twenty-five dollars worth
of notices in the most glorifyins
language. We feel that we have beer
lax in our duty to our people In no
giving vent to our opinions of man,
travelling frauds, and having only al
an excuse our hope that by giving
good attendance and some praise, u
the poorer companies, the better class
might be induced to visit our section
