Shaksperian Casts by john MeCul-
Tough.

John Mccullough, the tragedian,
suggests the following casts for the
proposed dramatic festival at Cn>
cinnati:
eff Booth, Barrett, Jefferson,
Mary Anderson, Fannie Davenport
and myself, with the best members
of our companies, could be brought
together, the thing might be accom-
plished. Even then it would be
necessary to get each of the artists
to bind him CT herself to play any
part That should be assigned them.
For instance. let us cast the Mer
chant of Venice. Mr. Booth would
play Shylock. Mr. Barrett Gratano,
myself Bessanio, Mr. Jefferson
as Lounceiot Gobbo, aud
Miss Anderson Portia Then
take Romeo and Juliet. MIR. Booth
would be the Romeo, Miss Anderson
juliet, Mr.. Barrett Tybalt, Mr.. JEFF
ferson Peter. and myself Mercutio.
Then AS You Like It-Miss Daven
port as RosaIind, Mr.. Jefferson
Touchstone, Mr.. Barrett Orlando
and mvse Ii Jacques. Next try Othel~
10. Mr. Barrett as Cassie, and Miss
Fanny Davenport as Elnelia and
Miss Mary Andersen as Des iemona.
Then julius Caesar, as Mr.. Booth as
B utus, Mr.. Barrett IS Cassins, my
self as Mark Anthoney and Miss An
derson es Calphurnia. Unless the
leading artists would agree to sub
NIT to such castings it would be i'm
possible to make the festival q sue
cess. II such an agreement
can be brought about all the rest
can readily be brought about.
a good stage manager familiar with
the plays to be performed can drill
the supernumeraries and minor
characters, and the former could be
picked in any desired numbers from
the military organic atoms OF the
city, or obtained by paying fair sala,
RES for the work to be performed. -"
Mr. Mccullough is perfectly willing
to engage his services and conform
to the casting requirements, provie
ding the other artists similarly bind
| themselves. OF course we do not
mean to intimate that the above is
the verbatim report of MIR. McCol-
lough's language, but it fairly sets
forth his idea. He will not engage
for he festival. however, unless Mr.,
Niles is concerned in the manage
ment, as ne feels that his experience
is necessar to its Success.

A TRUE BLESSING.

It would indeed be blessing to poor
weak, nervous, debilitated, suffering hui
mainly, If druggists would stop selling the
many vile purgative pills and cathartic COM
pounds advertised for the cure of liver COM
plant Although they afford temporary
relief at the same time they weaken the
digestive organs, and compel continued
and Increasing use of the sane. Sufferers
from dyspepsia and liver complaint do not
eed a cathartic, but should use some true
medicinal tonic that will strengthen the
digestive organs, and heal the diseased It's
sues CT the stomach, liver and bowels. Such
remedy is Browns Iron Bitters, and ii
never fails 10 effect a permanent cure. If
you continue to live in poor health, and are
determined to die before your time, you
have only yourself to blame.-Courier.

all of them mounted and nearly all
armed with Henry rifles and field
glasses, who patrol his property dur
ing the day and on all moonlight
nights.
These men are regularly organized
into patrol guard. They discover
with their glasses the focks of geese,
which at q distance of from 300 to
400 yards look like white blanket
spread over the green wheat, and
they thereupon plant bullet right
in the middle of the flock. This un-
expected visitation sets the flock on
the wing, and the geese herder foie
lows them up, keeps planting bullets
among them until they rise to great
height, and, Disguised, leaves the
vicinity. Few geese are killed, the
object being to keep them or the
wing, and consequently off the wheat
fields. Those that are killed are car
ried eff and shorn of their feathers,
but the revenue from them amounts
to little. On DR.. Glenns rancho
about 5000 cartridges ara used In
day, which represents about 2G,OOo
geese daily put to fight.
Oftentimes thick fog blows IN,
and this appears to be the favorlte
time for geese, and they devour the
wheat with great energy. The herd
then, fearful of shooting each
other, are almost baffied, but when
the fog rises, the foeks are put to
flight, and for hours thereafter the
air is filed with feathers and geese,
and Glenns rancho resounds with
the clatter OF rifles and the fright
ened cries of the prosecuted fowls.
To pay his men, buy ammunition and
maintain horses, costs Dr. Glenn
some $4,000 per annum, but 1t saves
his wheat, which yields some SlO,-
600, as. without the geese herders'
half would be destroyed. The herd
ers become very expert in their bus
mess, and are generally good shots
and capital horsemen.-San Francis
co Call.

A Cure for Sleeplessaess.

A "Natural Philosopher writes
to the London Daily News: with.
out aspiring to the titles of Dr..
Pangloss, 1 believe may say I have
discovered cure for sleeplessness.
To count innumerable sheep is
sort of wool~gatherlng that With me
leads to nothing going for wool
and coming home shorn of sheep.
To say the alphabet backward
awakens so many dancing figures of
great A, little a, and bouncing B as
set my wits on edge, instead of
soothing them with peoples. Such
praiseworthy processes OF the mind
require supplemen!ing by a bodily
process. This proud discovery is
mine. Marry the mind to the body,
as in heal by sleep, and the deed is
done. This is my process: Think
OF sheep, if your mind runs that
wsy; of any innocent and soothing
whlteness, CT snow, of waves, all
these falling, or of dancing feet or
leaves, or Of wind on the grass or
tae corn. L is my peculiar fancy to
be among books, to pass by shelf al
ter shelf Of them, punctually turning
sir backs upon me; the mere
thought of the uncertainty If their
pages would be fatal to my repose.

LIFE HATH ITS BARREN YEARS.

Life hath its barren years,
When blossoms fall untimely down,
When ripened fruitage fails to crown
i he summer toll when natures frown
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath its faithless days,
The golden promise of the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness born,
Meant only noontide wreck and scorn,
flushed harp instead of praise.
Life hath its valleys, too,
Where we must talk with vain regret,
With mourning clothed, with wild rain wet,
Toward sunlight hopes that soon must set,
All quenched in plying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons,
It's tasseled corn and purple weighted vine;'
It's gathered sheaves of grain, the blessed
sign
OF plenteOus ripening bread and pure rich
wine,
Full heats for harvest tunes.
Life hath its hopes fulfilled;
Its glad fraitions, its blest answered prayer,
Sweeter for waiting long, whose holy air,
Indrawn to silent souls, breathes forth its
rare.
Grand speech by Joy distilled
