Starving Opera Sinners.

No doubt the operate stage offers as
great contrasts in respect to remunera-
ton as can be found in any walk OF life.
During recent performance IN Algeria
of an Italian company there was such a
wearisome delay after the second act the
audience made loud demonstrations of
disgust. Thereupon one of the actors
appeared before the scenes and explained
that the company felt physically unable
to go on with the performance. The
manager, he said, had run away with
all the receipts, leaving the singers in
abject misery. The only member of the
company who had tasted food that day
was the prima donna, and she had break
tasted on a slice OF bread and an onion.
This statement aroused the indignation
of the audience to high pitch, and sew
eral men jumped upon the stage in the
hope of finding the manager concealed
somewhere and administering to him q
lesson which he would have remembered
the rest of his life.

A NEGRO Turninn White

From the Fort Smith (Ark.) New Era.l
A very intelligent and well-dressed
colored man created sensation on the
street Yesterday. He halls from Logan
County, where he has resided for twenty
odd years. His parents were both full
blooded Africans, and he himself was
once black as a crow, 40 he expressed
himself to us. But now he has a beau
tiful white epidemis all over his body
except his face, which has notified APP
pearance, being yet full of small black
spots surrounded by white skin. This
discoloration or shedding of the black
skin has been going on for many years,
and before long the man expects to be
as white as any Caucasian. His hair,
however, remains full African. He
turned up the sleeves of his shirt and
showed us as delicate white arm with
the blue veins underneath as any eau
casian can show. He is a puzzlefor the
scientists. The man would make his for

What Mesmerism Is,

(From the Cincinnati Saturday Night.l

little boy the other day. "Mesmerism,

never mind, I'll explain it in another
way, and then Poots, who thinks he
has remarkably powerful mind, under
took TO exert a mesmeric influence on
his son. Fixing his eyes on his son in
a way that made the boy shudder, he
said, as he pointed to the clock: ''See
that pretty bird! Hear it sing! Let's
catch it and put it in a cage" and he got
up and dragged the unwilling boy after
HIM. ''Pretty bird! pretty Bird" he
sal as he patted the clock. Then the
boy broke away with an awful yell,
knocking the clock down in his terror,
and yelling "Ma! maj PAS got the
jims again." And that wound up Poots'
experiments in mesmerism.

Swimming in High Attitudes.

lFrom the Cheyenne GWyoming] Leader.l
Tenderfeet should know, and all 9TH
ers should not forget that it is more diff
ficult to keep adoat liz water of this alti-
tude than in less altitude. That &C.
counts for the numerous cases of drown
ing even in comparatively small streams.
Young men who could swim with facility
In the east have found out to their sor-
row, and too late, that they could not do
the same here. The light atmosphere
considerably reduces the bssoyant power
of water. This is the case to a remark
able degree on Lake Tahoe, the highest
body of water on the continent. In this
water even pine wood sinks, and when a
man is drowned his body never rises.

A WILD WESTERN PROTEST.

\ Boston scholar roundly swears
By all the gods above, below,
That we must put on modern airs
And let our Greek ana Latin go.
Forbid, o Fate, we loud implore,
dispensation harsh as that
What wipe away the sweats Of yore--
The dear "Anlo, dnldS, Gmdt!"
The sweetest hour the student knows
Is not when porting over French
Or twisted in Teutonic throes
Upon hard collegiate bench;
Ills when on roots and kdiS and qarS
He feeds his soul and feels it glow,
Or when his Muse transcends the stars
With "Zod naOtt, sds GgGp0!"
SO give our bright, ambitious boys,
An inkling of these pleasures, too,
A little smattering OF the joys
Their dead and buried fathers knew;
And let them sing-while glorying that
Their sires so sang long years ago
The songs, 'Amo, dnlGs, GnlGt"
And "Z0G neO1t, SGs dgapo!"

Give vulgar ignorance thy Ecorn
And Innocence thy trust.

SO heaven returns to earth;
