MARY ANDERSON IN Boys CLOTHES. If
Miss Anderson has gained in flesh during
her long absence, the fact is not made evil
dent through any enlargement of her some
what thin but always beautiful features. She
has, however, learned to give new express
sions to her countenauce as well as to her
voice, and as Rosalind she has many new
moods and caprices, some of them recalling,
without greatly resembling, her Parthenia,
which is an abiding picture in the memory
of most Americans. In her dress as boy
she gives US an especially pleasing new fea-
ture in the exhibition for the first time on
this stage of leg which, it is but the
truth to say, needs only to be seen to be
admired. It is ample without being gross.
1t is as appropriate to the trunk to which
it belongs as if it had come from the
hands of an artist especially gifted as to
harmony in proportions, bearing in mind the en-
tire structure from head to heel. On buxom
person it would certainly have the appearance oil
leg painfully misplaced and dangerously uncer-
| tain; but as Miss Anderson's member it is pre-
cisely as it should bet is graceful it is accurate
ly rounded it is confident and at the same mod
est; it is pathetic in some of its movements, in
accordance with the lines it helps to interpret il
is winning always and it handled by its possessol
| with the consummate grace of which only she is
capable. We feel that this notice Of its first ap
pearance on the New York stage without the dis
! fgurement Of drapery is unavoidable. The deou
was entirely successful, and, more than that, j
serves to remove growingly unhappy doubt a
to the member in question which has been carried
by an always patient but at present thoroughly
| gratified public altogether too long.-Near Por

As we mentioned in this space some
time since. "the growth of the American
silk industry has been something phe-
nOmcnal."
The silk trade of Lyons, France, the
greatest foreign silk manufacturing GEN.
trc has fallen of so greatly many of the
manufacturers have been forced to sus-
pend, and others are even now in preca-
rious condition.
Ihc sam" tate of affairs exists at Basle.
Switzerland, where out Of twenty.four
manufacturers ten years ago, only ten
are running to-day.
Foreign manufacturers arc now consid-
erlng the question OF coming to America,
ana one Of the largestin in Switzerland con.
templates the transfer of his entire bust
ness to this country, and has been here
to look the ground over to secure suita-
bic site for his factory.
The principal causes of this state of af-
fairs is the high tariff and the fact that
Americans, with true American spirit
believe America equal to the world and
give home manufacturers the preference,
and, lastly the fact that in proportion to
population America consumes four times
as much silk rs any other country
Silk dycirg is hard process, yet there
is good dycng and bad dyeing, honest
dyeing and false dyeing, and silk maker
who CHOOSES to deceive can make his
yarn take 300 per cent Of extra weight
hy using metallic substances, which ac-
counts Tor the cheapn and bad wear

THE CATTLE TRAIL.

The following are some of the provi.
sions of the cattle trail bill to be intro
dIced into congress and which is gener-
ally regarded as very obnoxious by the
stockmen of this state: THE bill which
is to be introduced in congress for estab-
fishing a cattle trail from Texas to the
British possessions, provides that the
secretary of the interior shall appoint
three commissioners TO lay out and mark
by meter and boundary quarantine
national trail and grazing grounds, the
trail not 10 exceed six miles IN width
and to be narrowed at places TO mere
road Wav, the grazing ground to be estab-
lIshed at intervals along the trail and not
to exceed twelve miles square, both trail
and grazing lands to be strictly quaran-
tined and no cattle allowed to leave It
so long as they have any sligo of Texas
cattle fever among them. When the
commissioners make their report, the
secretary of the interior is to file map
of the trail as laid out, and TO give the
public notice of its establishment and
the withdrawal of the public land occu-
pied by 1t from either sale, location or
settlement for term of ten years. One
thousand dollars is appropriated for the
work when this publication is made.
The trail is to be open at all times OF
the year for the driving upon it of any
live stock by any person, firm OF corpor-

RELIGIOUS FTGURES

Demorest Monthly: The rise and fall
of religious creeds in this country is
very interesting as showing the tendency
of things with US. Since 1850 the
MethodisIs haVe kept pace with the
growth OF population. Twenty four
years ago they numbered 100000. To-
day they have about Il, 000, 900 adherents.
The Bspiists have increased from $780,
900 TO about $4,000, 900, which shows an
increase of so per cent. as to numbers,
to growth of population. The Presby-
terians now number 5 100000 against
5000 600 in 1860, about 90 per cent. in
crease. The Lutherans have increased
60 per cent. The CongregatIonalIsts
now number about !, 800, 900, an increase
of only 81 per cent. while the population
has Increased 70 per cent The EpIsco-
palians number 100000, an increase of
80 per cent. in twenty-four years. The
Hebrews number about 100000, an in
crease of 100 per cent. in twenty-tour
years. Tue Friends or Quskers show a
falling off of 90 per cent, and now num-
Der only 10000 persons. But the most
startling figures of all are those that re-
late to the Roman Catholics In 1860
they numbered 100000 That church
to-day claims 9,5OO. 900 adhereDts, gain
OF 200 per cent. In fifteen years. should
the same ratio of increase continue,
there will he % 100000 Catholics in
this country. No figures are given as
to the skeptics or non. believers, but un-
doubtedly their numbers have been very
much swollen in the last quarter of a
century.

The following Washington item de-
tails spirit of fun that sometimes goes
the rounds between Intervals of sens-
torial dignity: Mot long ago Garland
hit Butler pretty hard. That is to say,
he got a very good one on him, and But
Ter laid tor the senator from Arkansas.
Knowing Garland's Iondness for candy,
he'prOcured some carsmels and also some
cubes OF brown soap, which. when
wrapped In their tissue paper, precisely
resembled to the eye the carameis. But
Ter knew that If he tried to put the cubes
OF soap of on Garland he would fail, as
the latter was, of course, on the alert so
tar as he was concerned. So Voorhees,
OF Indiana, who sits next TO Garland,
was chosen tor the confederate. Said
uinA caramels. These others are cubes
of soap. Go to your seat, lay the soap
cubes on YOUR desk. eat the genuine car
amels, put your trust in Providence, and
say nothing Voorhees, did as he was
told. Garland observed the cubes on
the desk. and ssw that VOORHEES, was
eating something with an evident relish.
Hello said Garland. What are you
eatingr
1--we got cold and I'm eating some
candy replied Voorhees,, very much alb
sorbed in some papers In his hands.
Garland looked at the counterieIts
wislfuily for a moment, Hum he said
finally, rs he picked one up. I've got
something of cold myself, and he
popped the piece OF soap into his mouth.
There was a crunching of his jaws and
be saw he was caught. Voorhees,
watched Inn out of the tail of hIs eye,
as did dozen other OF the old boys
sitting around Garland knew he was
under fre. but he was determined not to
finch. After chewing his soap for q
moment he looked up at Voorhees, with
the inimitable air of innocent earnest
ness that is characteristic of him, and
asked: DO you eat many of these things
when you have q coldr As Garland
kept on chewing an almost Impercepti-
BILE strip of lsther for ned on his lips.
voorhees, became alarmed and went to
Butler. The fellow is actually eating
that stuff Why, it will kill him, won't
nT 'No-o-o-o,' d-awled Butler, 4 don't
reckon ANYTHING will kill that man.
Garland was game. He finished his
soap, and no man could say that he
