Katie Putnam was again greeted by
a large audience last evening, which we
must construe a a compliment to her
genius as an actress. The writings of
Dickens are so intense in their delin-
cation OF feeling and characterization
that when an artistic faithfully portrays
them, 1t a be said he or she has
reached the very acme of success. The
thought and interest last evening were
conferred mainly IN what Katie did and
said and the admiration that ever and
anon bubbled forth came when she was
acting. The quick and wide transition
from little Nell to the Marchioness GER
tainly exhibits a power of personation
rarely to be found. The play of "The
Old Curiosity Shop" is fully adapted to
exhibit the genius of Miss Putnam, but
1t seemed to lack the highly dramatic
situations that should cause the audi
tor to forget self and surroundings in
theActual realism Of the scene. Miss
Putnam exercises n magnetic influence
over her sex truly remarkable. Just
why this is so no man can explain. The
entire company of supporters last even
ing seemed to have u true conception
of the authors pathetic story aud II
can be said they belong to that large
class OF clever actors and actresses
which now characterizes the American
stage.

Farewell to me L eier.a scare.

lNeW 1OTk llfneS.I
It is all very well for scientific persons to
MAKE discoveries; hut when a series OF dis
~coveries nave established a pleasing and SAT-
isfactory theory, what are we to think OF the
man who makes u new and final discovery
wholly overthrowing and demolishing that
theoryl Such has been the conduct of DR..
Gregg, Of Buffalo, and the general opinion of
medical theorists is, hat he ought to be
ashamed of himself.
The theory that certain diseases are caused
by the presence of bacteria in the human sys-
tenn was, until DR.. Gregg made his expert
ments. accepted by a great many learned
men. The bacteria in question were alleged
to be microscopic animals of various species,
some of which produced consumption when
admitted TO The human body, while others
gave their attention to the production Of
malarial fevers and hydrophobin. They were
found in the blood, the saliva, and even the
tissues of victims of these diseases, and it was
therefore evident that they were the cause of
disease-just as it is evident that a bullet
found in the brain of a murdered man was
the cause of his death.
But now comes DR.. Gregg with the painful
assertion that bacteria are always present in
the blood of everybody. No matter whether
the individual is healthy. or diseased, or
whether the blood taken from him is 4xam-
lned whlle IL Is fresh or after It has become
decomposed, the microscope will always show
that the blood contains bacteria. This, Of
course, utterly upsets the theory that bac-
terra produce disease. and destroys the value
of an enormous quantity of medical litern-
ture written in defense of that theory.
This, however, is not all that DR.. Gregg
has done. lie has shown that the so-called
bacteria are not animals, but simply particles
of fbrine- After the laborious and appar-
emily successful experiments which Pasteur
and others have made in breeding and Guilt
waiting bacteria, it is indeed unkind to dem
o~nstrate that bacteria are not alive and are
simply inert particles of matter. The ad-
mirers of bacteria now find that they have
been as grossly deceived as are the Long Isl
and hounds who pursue an alleged fox, only
TO find that it is a harmless mise seed bag.
We shall now nave to throw away all
theories founded on the idea that bacteria
are alive, and to frame new theories of the
origin of disease. This will shake our faith
in medical men, and to n certain extent in
all theories. DR.. Gregg may think he has
acted like a wise and good man, but it is i'm
possible to regard him as other than a med,
dlesome and unnecessary .iconoclast.

UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS

We have positive proof before us that
Q. N. Crittenton, OF New York city
has sold during the last two months
over 30. 900 bottles of Hale's Honey of
Horehound and Tar, an article for the
cure of coughs. colds, influenza, hoarse-
ness, difficult breathing and all affec-
tions OF the throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs, leading to consumption;
and from the number of letters we
have ourselves received proclaiming its
wonderful cures, we judge that almost
as many persons have been cured as
there have been bottles sold. We un-
derstand that the only papers in which
Mr.. O. has advertised his article in
this city are our Daily and sunday
News. Thus the advertising public
will see the necessity OF advertising la

STOCK NOTES.

Fort Worth Journal.
Fat cows are reported to still be dying
in the west from murrain.
America has thirty millions of cattle,
and has the range to supply ten times
that number. The unoccupied grazing
lands of Texas can support one-third
that number.
1t takes 1900 cattle per day to sup
ply the dressed meat and canning COM
panies Of Chicago. Texas furnishes
nearly all used. An increase of one
hundred pounds to the head would
represent S12, 900 a day to our stock
men. This could readily be saved to
them by holding their beeves until full
ripe.
VIM. @. Lane, of the Union cattle
company, (Sturgis & Lane Cheyenne,
tells me that cattlemen have been try
ing in vain to get their cattle fat. They
Lad rains until September, and grass
has been so rank that cattle cannot get
in good condition. He says a good
many old cattle will have to be carried
over on that account. ''Short grass on
western ranges makes fat cattle"
What Kentucky and the north has
done in the trotting and blooded horse
field of production, we think Texas in q
few years can rival. We have here
just broken the ground. II we trans
plant the best of seed and cultivate the
ground with cafe, soon a crop of colts
will grow that will enrich the wners,
benefit our horse stock, and give Texas
a leading place in the list of equine pro.
duction.
1t is reported that TIE stock range OF
Refugio, Goliad, Victoria and other
counties north of Nueces is very poor
no grass scarcely-and the prospects
are that heavy losses will be sustained
by ranchers in that quarter this winter.
In Nueces, Hidalgo and Cameron coun.
ties the grass is reported good and stock
are picking up rapidly, many of them
now in the lower country are in fine
order and will pull through the winter
all right.
