Short OF Material.

The Uncle Toms Cabin Troupe
which appear here on Monday
next, somehow do not appear to
have full compliment of actors.
It adyertises two lawyers by the
name Of Marks, two Topsys and
two trained donkeys. Now in the
face of all this talent how do they
expect us to put up with one soil
tary Uncle Tom and one poor lit
tie lonely Eva. We presume that
they had two Uncle Toms when
the combination first started out.
and it seems to the majority of
persons that while they we're dis
charging hands to cut down ex-
penses, they might have held on to
the Uncle Toms and allowed some
the surplus lawyers and blood
hounds to go. We hate to witness
q play where the material is short,
and if it is proposed to double up
the characters there is no reason
why the Innovation should not be
made all along the line and done
with.

Queer Card Game.

The other evening Prof. Busby,
the blind phrenologists. and Prof.
Woods, the blind violinist,
met and as usual when two
blind celebrities come together
they were on the best of terms at
once. They finally drifted into q
pedro game and engaged Overland
Pat to keep the run of the cards.
Pat would whisper to each man
what he held and the fun would
begin. The way the men wrangled
over the game drew large crowd
to the spot. as both men bubble
over with humor and are very glib
of tongue. After a while The phren.
ologist had the pedros up his sleeve
and the violinist had three ten
spots in his lap. Then they turned
around aud accused Overland Pat
with false counting, and threatened
to lick him if he did not behave
himself. He finally left the game
as he felt that he could not afford
to straddle the blind.

The visit to Tilden.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Apropoa
of the visit of the Pacific Coast
delegation of Congressman to Ill
den to ascertain if he was candi-
date for nomination to the Presi-
dency, there comes . statement.
published this morning, made by q
Democrat and a friend of Tilden to
a reporter. He said: "The Oh
ject of this visit is easily stated.
The Democratic mind is bent on
the nomination of Tilden. They
could find in it nothing that re-
fused to them the right to go and
nominate and elect Mr.. Tilden.
Recent publications of his inten-
ton to write letter to the State
Convention of peremptory charac-
ter, has alarmed some of us. l
know several letters have been
written to Tilden asking him not to
take such a step. The visits OF
these gentlemen is in the same line,
and probably goes little further
in that they are seeking advice as
to the proper course to pursue in
public affairs"

When he was taken sick tho med :

with any success. and the sick man
sank rapidly. It is not charged
that the Washoe doctor was in any

the contrary he was very active in
the sick mans behalf. He beat .

dressed up as . devil and danced on
him three times day, pounded mp
dried bed bugs and fed them to
him with molasses, and in the more
alarming stages of his fever dashed
pals of cold water over him every
ten minutes. In spite of all these
precautions the man got worse and
worse and now his recovery is
doubtful. Already the graves have
been dug for the funeral. One for
the patient and the other for the
physician. The patient is buried
face up, but the poor doctor is laid
with his nose down, as a mark OF
contempt. The doctor is now con-
fined in the wigwam Of his patient.
and as soon as the latter throws up
the sponge, the relatives of the
deceased will proceed to immediate

has made no effort to escape, as he
knows that it would be useless. He
is simply arranging his business
affairs and getting ready to die.
