A WESTERN MUSICAL. CRITI-
CISM.

The editor OF q mining-camp
newspaper went to Denver to hear
Emma Abbott sing, and in a long
review of the opera, says: "As D
Ginger, she can just wallop the hose
of of anything that ever wagged a
jaw on the boards. From her clear,
bir5-like upper notes. she would
counter away down on the bass
racket. and then cushion back to
sort of a spiritual trenble. which
made every man in the audience
imagine that every hair on his head
was the golden string of celestial
harp, over which angelic fingers
were sweeping in the inspiring old
tune of ''Sally pat the kettle on"
Here she would rest awhile, trilling
like an enchanted bird, and then
hop in among the upper notes with
a git-up-and-git vivacity that jim
gled the glass pendants on the chan
deliers, and elected q whoop. OF
pleasure from every galloot in the
mob.

In olden times kissing went by
favor" and it seems to be the prac-

consequence, they do some things
there which it would not do to hint

mer took some samples of grain
from the same bin, entering one Of
them in his own name, and the
other in the name of a well-known
fancy farmer" of the neighbor-
Eood. When the premiums came
to be announced. the sample mark
ed with the name Of the fancy
farmer" took the first prize, while
the other lot, identically the same
in every respect, was unnoticed.

A ALEFT-HANDED LUNG TEST.
FIR.

At a singing school at Three
Springs. the other night, a young
man was Dragging about the great
strength of his lungs. and invited a
girl in the company to hit him in
the breast. She said she was left
banded, had been washing that day,
was tired, and didn: feel very
active, but at his urgent request let
go at him. When his friends went
to pick him up he said he thought
he would die easier lying down. He
had lost all recollection of having
any lungs, but the young woman
consoled him by admitting that she
didn't hit him as hard as she might
have done, because she rather liked
him. Orbisonia Dispatch.
