A Blind Actress.
Pail Mall Gazette.l


As a striking instance of what can
be attained by the blind, it is worth
noting that the young lady who has
for the last few nights been playing
Ariel in the burlesque of "The Tenn
pest called "Prospero," at the Impe-
rial theater is quite blind. She was
not originally cast for the part, but has
taken it in the absence of Mr.. Hubs
peth, and she directs her action en-
tirely by sound. More than this, ow-
ing to the temporary absence of
the Miranda of the burlesque
on Friday last, this blind
lady took the part of the heroine for
that evening; and although necessari-
ly much prompted, and sometimes
even spoken for" by Miss Delaval-
who, as Ferdinand, acts in manner
worthy of better surroundings-she
actually went through the perform
ance without exciting the slightest
among the audience as to
her condition. This blind actress is
The daughter of one of the property
keepers at the theater.

A Differ ence Defined,

A clever exchange classifies the GA
zETTE, the Post and the News with ref
erence to their attitude towards the pres
en-. state administration. The News is
called hostile; the Post and GAZETTE
are alluded to as the governors or
gans.n In so far as the GAZETTE is
concerned, this is not true. 1t is friend
ly toward the present administration,
but is not an "organ." The News and
the Post appear to be fairly character
lied. The former is arrayed against
Gov. Ireland and the state administra-
ton, and employees every means to
censure them. Its pages are burdened
with unfair criticisms and denuncia-
tons. Every word of the governor is
distorted; every shortcoming magni-
fled; every act denounced. AS long as
this personal hostility pervades that
papers columns, no reliance can be
placed upon its news reports or edito-
rial utterances, for both are tinged
with the feeling of luminosity of its
management, and will not concede APP
prevail where credit is manifestly due. !
The Post is the other extreme. 1t is /
committed as an organ. This is shrewd 1
of the Post. 1t opposed Ireland and
the Democratic state ticket, and its
advocacy Of the Wash Jones 1nde-
pendent movement has given it sus-
picious character amongst Democrats
which it is now trying to redeem by
an excess of its zeal in behalf of the
administration. This makes its pages
as unreliable as the News is in all mat
tiers where the administration is con-
cerned. 1t must defend any and all
measures, whatever their nature, as
long MS they bear the stamp of admins
trative approval. However fair and !
the News must denounce:
however unfair and meretricious, the
Post must approve. From neither can
4 frank estimate of measures be eX-
,ected, for each must sustain its quail
ty--the one as an ungenerous enemy,
he other as an injudicious friend.
The GAZETTE is Independent of any !
ntaugling alliances. 1t is cordially
rank and friendly toward Gov. Ire
and, because his administration has o
cen worthy of friendship That gem u
ieman's conduct of state affairs has p
'een such as to win approval and very
eldom TO deserve harsh criticism. n
His mistakes have been such as are I"
ue to the fallibility of man. Because
e deserved it, the GAZETTE has
pollen well of him and stood by him, IL
nd will continue to do so as long as
lis official acts deserve its support. =
But in this attitude is no slavish cor
anism," nor are its words of dissent, ID
hen spoken, inspired by spleen and n
lalice. From this it follows that in
lie editorial columns of the GAZETTE
lone are to he found honest and truth a
ii accounts of affairs as they relate to :
lie administration, without bias or :
rejudice.

A soap factory, for the utilization Of

soon, but they must come at last.
The direct accretion TO the capital of
Fort Worth will be immense, as cal
culation will show. The capacity of
the refrigerating company is 1000
dressed beeves, 200 muttons and 200
calves per day. For some time they
will not run to their full capacity, be-
cause the supply of corn-fed cattle of
such class as they desire cannot be
had. Allowing that they will use up
but 200 head of cattle per day )one-fifth
of the total capacity and 200 head
of sheep, which can easily be
obtained, il can at once be seen what
amount of money will be disbursed at
this place for cattle alone. At an av-
erage of SIS per head for beeves and So
for muttons. 200 of the former will
require 5000 and 200 ofthe latter $500,
a total disbursement of $1,000 day,
$50, 200 week, or SOS, 900 month.
Not all of this money will stay in Fort !
Worth, but a great deal of it will. In
this no account is taken of the large
salary disbursements TO the workmen,
all of which will go into circulation
here.
