 THE TOURISTS.
 This Tuesday evening the Tourists in a Pullman Palace Car, who won for themselves such golden opinions as merry makers on the occasion of their previous visit, will appear at Carlrs Opera House in their grotesquely amusing bundle of absurdities. They have been far since their last appearance here, eliciting approbation wherever they have ap- peared, and return to us giving us an old &C., quaintance in somewhat different dress but still the same in the main. Those who can enjoy an entertainment which is fun and nothing but fun from first to last should go and see the Tourists tonight.

 Dfsea SC Among She Horses.
 Of the 25,OOO horses in the city of St. Louis, Mo-, about 5000 are now reported to be disabled, temporarily, by new and mys- terious disease called. for want of better name, "pink eye" Its symptoms are a watery and offensive discharge from the in famed eyelids, loss of appetite and swelling of the neck and legs. A prominent stable keeper of that city says that there is no doubt that every horse in the city will be affected, but there will be very few fatal cases most of the animals completely recov- erinR in ten days. It is believed that the complaint exists very generally throughout nearly all the large cities of the country, but stablemen have combined to keep the public, as far as possible, ignorant of it's existence. On inquiry we learn that there has been several cases of similar disease in this nefghborhood for several weeks. There has been some of it among the horses of the Fair Haven and WestviIle Horse Railroad company, and quite number are now laid up. Only one case has, as yet, proved fatal. There have been SO many laid up that the company has had to purchase several horses to keep the usual number of cars running l The Broadway and Shelton avenue road has 1 some cases, and there are many in private l stables. We hear that the disease is quite | prevalent in Springfield, Mass, and other I places.
