Something Additional About This
Busfness.

\ large amount of this land, claimed by
the State for non-payment of taxes, has been
donated to settlers, or sold by the State at
fifty cents per acre. According to all pre-
vious decisions OF the courts, this land is the
property of the State. Suppose those who
formerly owned the land should succeed in
the coming suit, what is TO be done about
back taxes, and the rights of those who have
bought from the State and located on the
land2 The persons engaged in this new suit
were the most active agents in getting these
lands "taken up" under the donation act, as
curing the people that after the decision Of
the Supreme Curt against the railroad COM
pany the State Eould have an indisputable
title to the lands

had an audience Of probably dozen per-
sons to hear her views on the woman's
rights question. Owing to the extreme thin
ness OF the audience, she did not attempt to
lecture, but asked the views OF those pres
emit. One gentleman declared that he was in
sympathy with her, but was not an expert at
public speaking. 81 did not know this was pub
lie speaking" said the lecturess 81 thought
it was private speaking" Another gentle
man asserted that if the ladies were to vote,
but lew Of them would lower themselves by
seeking the polls and coming in contact with
rude men. To this Mrs. Meriwether took
exec ption, and related how she had voted in
Mem phis, and bad been moot respectfully
treated by the crowd. She had voted in a
bar-room, the emily one she had ever entered.
The skepticd gentleman remarked soto
vote in the fifth ward her path
would not be s;rewn with roses. Mrs.
Meriwether then called upon her son, Lee
Meriweiher, who was in the back part OF the
hall, to step forward and make 4 few re-
marks, but he refused to do so. She then
closed the symp ;sium with the announce
ment that her son would lecture to night, and
he wanted to be heard. A word on the sub
jet: Mr.. Lee Meriwether is probably twenty
years of age. He may be promising boy, and
he certainly has a good face. If there
is stuff in him, it is hound to make itself
known; but it is doubtful whether it is in
consonance with that modesty which should
ever belong to youth for him to set himself
up as lecturer. The opinions of boy are
usually worthless, and a lecturer should be
man OF varied experience and maturity OF
thought, because from him one expects in
struction. The only way for any man to
succeed is to choose a profession and rise
through it. The genius of to-day is work.
Mr.. Meriwether had better throw his lee
ture in the fire. 1t will be the wisest step he
ever took.
Amusement Notes.
The Paris correspondent OF the New York
Herald telegraphs that paper that the peo-
pie of that city are to have an interesting re-
yival of OtheHO at the Odeon this week with
Taillade in the character of the noble Moor.
The production OF the play was, however, at
the last moment postponed, and those who
hungered after dramatic novelty were fain
to content themselves with the new musical
teerie by NM. Mortier, Meilhac and Castor
Serpette, entitled Madome La Diable, which
was produced at the Renaissance on We'd
nesday. 1t is a mere peg for the pretty
Jeanne Granier to hang her Protean powers
upon, and serves its modest purpose we'll
enough. The little dnG, who, by-the-by, has
grown wonderfully bu1om of late, has the
stage to herself for good half of the even
ing, and appears in about fourteen different
costumes. She is charming in all, but most
charming, probably, in the trdresti of neg
Iected and romantic pianist in the first act.
Moddme lie Diable contains several amusing
situations, and has been indulgentIy received.
Agreeable TO Partisan custom all the theaters
were closed last night, and profane pleasure
seekers had to fall back upon the cafes and
the sacred concert, which was given at the
Conservative.

rmn Interesting Fossils.

About twenty years ago, two 1ossh
animals of great interest were found IN
the photographic states of Bavaria. One
was the skeleton of Archoopteryr, now
in the British Museum, and the other
was the Compsogpaatltus preserved IN the
ROYAL Museum at Munich. A single
feather. to which the name Arch@opter.Y16
was first applied, by Won Meyer. had
previously been discovered at the same
locality. More recently, another skeie-
ton has been brought to light. IN the
same beds, and is now in the Museum
of Berlin. These three specimens OF
Arehogopterur are the only remains OF
This genus known, while OF Co1npSog-
matthias the original skeleton is, up TO
the present time, the only representa-
tive. When these two animals were
first discovered, they were both consld-
cred TO be reptiles by Wagner, who de-
scribed Co1apsogaaathets, and this view
has been held by various authors down
tn the present time. The best author1-
ties. however, now agree with owen
that ArcIeopte7pr is bird, and thal

a Snorninn Hinder the Skin.

There is a colored man in New Lon
don. Mo-, who for years has claimed
that he had 81 scorpion under his skin,
and that it crawled from place to place
over his body. A few days since Drs.
sprague and Rails, of London, a couple
of scientists, coaxed the man to submit
to a surgical operation for the removal
of the animal. They distinctly traced
the animal under the mans skin from
bis waist over the left shoulder, and
thence back again to a position between
the thighs and knee Of the right leg.
Clasping the limb above and below
where the animal seemed to be, they ad,
ministered chloroform to the man, ano
making an incision in the leg TOOK
therefrom a living reptile-not q scorpi'
on. but something like lizard. 1t was
placed in vial Of alcohol, and the doc
tors have had several offers for its pur
