An Amusing Theatrical Story

"Yankee" Hill, famous actor in the
first half of the present century, used to
tell an amusing story (Which j. B.
Matthews retells in his article on "The
American on the Stage" in Scribner's
for JULY, of the early days of the the
atre in this country. Hill once Showed"
to use a professional phrase-in a
town in the western part Of New York,
where no theatrical performances had
ever been given. He found the audi
ence assembled with the women seated
on one side of the hall and the men on
the other, exactly as they used to sit in
church; and throughout the play the
most solemn silence was observed.
They were attentive, but they gave no ev.
idence of approval or displeasure; there
was no applause, no laughter; there was
not a smile; all was solemn stiffness. Hill
did his utmost to break the ice; he did
everything clever comedian could do,
but in vain. He flung himself against
their rigidity; it was no use. The audi
ence was evidently on its best behavior
and the curtain came down at last amid
a silence oppressive and almost melan-
choly. After the play, Hill, worn out
by his extra exertion and mortified by
his want of success, was passing through
public room in his hotel, when he was
stopped by a tall countryman with tie
remark:
"Say, mister, l was in to the play to-
night"
"Were youl" said Hill. "You must
have been greatly entertained"
"Well, / was l tell you what it is
now, my mouth is all sore a straining to
keep my mouth straight. And if it
hadn't been for the women I'd laughed
right out in meetin."

Epidemics Among Insects.

DIR. Hazen, of Boston, in paper read
in that city few days ago, gave the
following information about epidemics
among insects GA really pestilential
epizootic of the common barnyard fly
was observed in 1867. Not only those,
but many other insects died in the same
locality and in the same manner also
other species of flies and gnats, the cat
erpillars of moths and of phal@nids, and
the common hairy caterpillars. OF some
species the destruction was so complete
that the next year they were very rare.
During recent years the caterpillars of
two species of moths had destroyed pine
forests belonging to the State valued at
seven millions of dollars, and larger
calamity was imminent, when suddenly
all caterpillars died from the same fun
gus. Similar observations have been
made in other places in Europe and here.
Mr.. Trouvelot formerly began in Med
ford, Mass, the raising of the polyphe-
mus moth for silk, and was successful
enough to get prize in the Paris Exhi-
bition of 1864. Unfortunately, he
brought some eggs from Paris of another
species from China, which purported to
be superior for silk-raising in the open
air. Those eggs proved to be infested
by fungus, and the caterpillars Matched
from them died, but not those alone.
All caterpillars of the polyphemus moth
became infested, and even most of the
other indigenous species living on the
twelve acres Of shrub land which Mr..
Trouvelot utilized for this purpose died
rapidly. After two years Of a similar
calamity, Mr.. Trouvelot was obliged to
stop his experiments, which might have
developed, perhaps, new source of
wealth for this country. A similar pest
Of an indigenous species of moth stopped
only last year the interesting observa-
tons of Mr.. Tiemers in Newport, Ky.
"The common silkworm in Europe has
recently been extensively affected by a
sickness which is also the consequence of
fungus. Similar fatal epizootics have
been observed on the honey-bee, and one
killed several years ago in Brazil nearly
all beehives In chronological journals
are reported fatal epizootics Of leaf lice,
of grasshoppers. of the cabbage butter
fly and of the currant worm, both i'm.
ported here only few years ago, and
both very obnoxious"
