the old story and catch flea aud
crush II between his two thumb nails, pull up
his stocking, and tell the Ghost that he will
60 home and make II red hot for his mother
and the uncle who poured melted sealing wax
in the Ghosts ear. This would be going
fiom the sublime to the ridiculous, and the
Sun mentions these possibilities that managers
may see what is liable to happen unless they
cause insect powder to be freely used on the
stage, and cause all dogs brought by actresses
to bring certificate from ID. ID. that they
are free from heas. II takes manager with
nerve to stand up before an actress who has
gall enough to carry dog, or one who has
married husband for the purpose OF carrying
her dog, and complain that the dog or the
husband is full Of ileas and must be quaran,in-
ed. but II has got TO be done. Let the leas
and the dogs 60.

fleas and Theatres.

From Peck's Sun.
A recent discovery in connection with
theatres of the cities is most laughable, and
will result in much fun to audiences in the iu-
ture, unless some action is taken at once on
the part of managers. 1t seems that many Of
the best theatres of the cities have become in
tested with lleas to such an extent that the
little pests annoy actors and actresses ter
ribly. 1t is believed the heas have been
brought to the theatres on the pet dogs Of
actresses, and by the dogs used in plays, and
hey have multiplied and replenished the
places OF amusement until they are formid-
able army II is said that when theatre has
not had performance for several days the
ileas become hungry, and when the next COM
pany arrives upon the stage the ileas take pos
session OF the members too quick. 4
Suppose Mary Anderson, while trying to haul
Romeo up the balcony SO she can see il he
has been chewing cloves, feels flea crawling
down her back. She can clasp her hand behind
her back, and while saying, "Whsrefore art
thou, Romeo" she can everlastngly dig her
nails into the opening of her corsets, and kill
the iiea, and the audience would be none the
wiser, while If she backed up against the rail-
ing and scratched her back on a scene, it
would be noticed and commented on, to her
discredit as an artist, and besides, she might
push down the scenery. Again, if flea
should appear to be exploring the vicinity O.
her liver, while 1t would not be admissible for
her to create gesture that would fit the case,
she could, by the poetic license that is
granted all great genuses, lean against the
railing on the point where the flea was, and
while giving tafiy TO Romeo, she could make
the flea think he had got in the
wrong pew. And, yet in that scene, If few
feas should get among her stockings, as is
almost certain to be the case, Mary would
not have any excuse, by act or gesture in the
play, to pay any attention to the hea, and she
would have to go on with the play and
die game. If she is the marble
statue that she is represented to be,
with no feeling, of course flea could
make no more impression on her than a
masher, but all the girls on the stage are not
thus fortunate, and they will be injured in their
profession by the fleas. In opera il is differ
ent. The costumes are such that the hunting
OF feas is mere pastime. Especially is this
the case in the opera of LA Somnambua,"
where the sleep-wslker is attired with a
candle and garment that has always been
highly recommended as the proper costume
Tor the pursuit of fleas. II is supposed that
actors are impervious to the influence OF Heas,
but such Is not the case. Booth, Barrett, Jef-
ierson and Mccullough are nervous as women,
ana we may expect any evening to see Booth,
as Hamlet drop his sword and roll down his
pi'ck ugh,s while the Ghost is telling him

The following communication to the
Chicago inter Ocean, in regard to hecanal
route, is Of interest to the people in this
locality:
GEyEsEo, H., Dec 24-In the Inter
Oceaa of the Sth inst is an article headed
The Mississippi and Michigan canal vs..
the Hennepin canal and signed "Nonai. IS
This signature is enigma and very appro-
pirate in its connection,
The article proves the author well ac-
quainted with the situation very generally,
and hence to the many Unacquainted it
may be perplexing.
1t is true there would be no great en-
gineeriDg difficulty in turning the Missis-
sippi river above Fulton away into Rock
river, so as to furnish water enough for
any size canal that may be wanted, nor in
getting up Rock river to a point live
miles above Sterling.
But right here Norial makes an awful
mistake or something worse. He. she, or
it says The country along that portion
of the route between Rock River and Inlet
Swamp is itself nearly all swamp land,
and is so low and level that a stream flows
River The facts are that Inlet is sew
enty or eighty feet higher than Rock
River at the point where Norial leaves
Rock River with his canalbOat Any one
who has ever Travelled ovcrfth the Central
Railroad from Dixon to LaSalle in day
light ought to know that the route is over
high, dry country, Inlet is the head
Of Green River, which passes Amboy and
runs rapidly down hill for miles into a
swamp near New Bedford.
1t is an utter imposibiity to store water
enough, or half enough, at Inlet Swamp
to feed both ways from the summit any
where between Dixon and Mendoza. No
water can be held for this summit from
any other source. Hence the very nice
straight line route story for great com
mercial canal is montreal or "Norial," as
fancy may desire.
The only possible chance for q canal
worth continuing between the Upper
Mississippi and Lake Michigan must have
Its summit on the Hennepin route, which
is about three miles north of Sheffield
To this summit the waters of Rock River,
as well as the waters of Green River, can
be brought to feed both east and west in
great abundance; also the waters of the
Mississippi River can be brought to this
same summit, but Of course this bringing
the Mississippi River down Bureau Val
ley into the Illinois River will not be
done St Louis would object very ser

A herd Of twenty five pure bred Jersey

shipped from Bethel, Vt.
One hundred and seven tramps were

station during the past year, and sixty
seven arrests were made for drunkenness
during the same period.

as such delegates
The following are the particulars, as
related to a CArogtcle reporter of n very
mysterious suicide, that occurred near
Orion on Friday night last. Henry Barnes
the victim, was farmer residing about
mile and half northeast of the village
He was a married man, and the father of
three children, one boy and two girls. On
Friday evening he persuaded his wife and
children to attend literary meeting in the
village telling them after the meeting was
out they could 90 to the house of his
wifes father Mr.. Engall, and that he
would come there after them. They at
tended the meeting. and according to in
structions, went from there to Mr. Engalls
residence. After waiting quite a while,
and Mr. Barnes not appearing, his wife
decided that she would go home with the
children Arriving there she found on
the table a letter addressed to Mr. Trego,
with request written on the back of the
envelope that it should be opened by the
person whom it was addressed. The letter
was taken to Mr. Trego, and although the
writing was very indistinct, it was learned
from it that Mr. Barnes had taken his own
life, or was intending to do so at the time
of writing; the letter also contained some
instructions to the undertaken, Accom-
panied by several gentlemen, Mrs. Barnes
returned to the house, going at once to
the barn, where the letter had said the
body could be found, and there it was,
