The dramatic entertainments given
by the New York Union Square Com
pany during the past week attracted
good audiences and gave general sat
isfaction. The various pieces were
ably rendered, the entire company be-
ing well balanced and strong all
round, and evincing marked talent
and ability; in fact, it is decidedly
the best travelling troupe that we have
seen here. Manager Guinness cannot
feel otherwise than gratified at the re-
ception accorded him and his COM
pany by our amusement loving pat
rons, but it is deserved, us he caters
most happily to the pleasure and en-,
joyment of his patrons.

RcInArkable Cats.

ALondon paper makes mention of a cat
which would recognize his masters foot
steps after three months absence, and
come out to meet him in the hall, with
tail erect and purring all over as II to the
very verge of bursting. Another one
comes up every morning between six and
seven O'Clock to wake his master, sits on
the bed, and very gently feels first one
eyelid and then the other with his paw.
When an eye opens, but not till then, tho
cat sets up loud purr, like the prayer Of
q tire-worshipper to the rising sun.

Row the Process Works in the HUI

Pasteur had little difficulty, says Prof.
Tyndall in the Popular Science Monthly,
in establishing the parasitic origin Of
fowl cholera; indeed, the parasite had been
observed by others lefore him. But by
his successive civilizations he rendered
the solution sure. His next step will re-
main forever memorable in the history of
medicine. l allude to What he calls "vi-
rus attenuation" And here it may be
we'll to throw out few remarks in adj
vance. When a tree or bundle of wheat
or barley straw is burned, a certain
amount of mineral matter remains in the
ashes-eXtremely small in comparison
with the bulk of the tree Or of the straw,
but absolutely essential to its growth. III
soil lacking or exhausted of the ncces-
say mineral constituents, the tree cannot
live, the crop cannot grow. Now, contagia
are living things, which demand certain
elements of life Just rs incXorably as
trees or wheat or barley; and it is not diff
tiCultto see that q crop of given parasite
may so far use up q constituent existing
in small quantities in the boGy, but essen

render the body unfit for the production of

until the lost constituent Is restored the
body is protected from any further attack
of the same disorder Such an eXplana-
ton of non-recurrent diseases naturally
ptesents itself to u thorough believer in
the germ theory, and such was the solu
ton which, in reply to question, VEN
tured to offer nearly fifteen years ago to
an eminent London DhysiciaD To eX-
vigorous and destructive than the really
virulent one may Suffice and if, after hav-
ing by means of a feebIer organism, ex-
hausted the soil without fatal result, the
most highly virulent parasite be intro
duced into the system it will prove pow
erless. This. in the language of the germ
theory, is the whole secret of vaccina-
ton.

The Iron Fence.

1t is reserved for the latter clause of the
nineteenth century to record the fact that
court square in Bolivar, is surrounded, in
fact, palisaded by an iron fence, which is to
transmit to the third generation succeeding
this, the otherwise untransmissible intelli-
gence that the county trustee has some pub
lie money on hand, and the county court
some public spirit and some public pride,
Tor pride for the public, which precipitated
an appropriation of less than $4,000 for
this same fence to the huge delight of some
iron monger at present, and of Bolivarians
ninety years after date This ebulition Of
pride for ancestral achievements, viii be
readily pardoned at that time, for it will
not be generally known till then, that Har-
deman county is situated in Bolivar, which
is located on Hatchie river, which crosses
the Central railroad.
1t is a cast-iron fact that under the old
wooden dispensation, men would roOst on
the fence for hours at stretch, and with a
scrub or NANCY cur knife cut notches in the
top rail, 'casionally splitting off large
splinter and white it down to zero. This
occupation is essentially towny, and is IN
dulged in not by those having anything
else to do, but by the habitues of the Court
House, who love to gas about fishing and
hunting, and to fret, and cross him, who
often becomes disguised with, and leaves the
whole "blam'd" set
Since the wooden dispensation is passed

cease mourning for the feshpots of the
former, and accept in all its hardness the

There Is a man in the corporation who Is
not Joyner by trade, but is in business ney-
ertheless, who is for iron fences in general,
and this one in particular. because it will
be great advantage to his cat; for she can
slip between the rods, the dog that is chas-
ing her cannot, neither will he jump the
the fence. Hence the life of the feline is
spared to achieve future micene victories.
Now, this is a sensible, as we'll as a philo-
sophical view of the subject, and suggests a
few thoughts, which I will unload and re-
tire.
The cat. after being very busy sleeping
all day in the close, hot store air, instinct
lively seeks a supply of the pure, fresh,
country article, and wanders abroad at
night in search of it, and other refreshments
adapted to feline enjoyment. The dog, at
ter spending the livelong day at home want
ing and watching for the crust, bone, OF
meatskin which he didn't get, naturally
and necessarially roams about at
night seeking something to appease his raw
enous NAV; and seeing this harmless cat
and mistaking her for an incipient mutton,
makes a furious charge, and glorious fail
ure-the fence saves her. Verify, the Court
House yard is a city of refuge for cats.
I do not know how many millionaires
there are in this state, but the number of
dogaires is legion. And there seems to be a
sharp contention among them as to which OF
them can.leave the most dog to his own chill
dren, and the least sheep to his neighbors.

grove Just west of the town good crowd OF
ladies and gentlemen who seemed TO be en-
Toying themselves over bountiful repast
provided by the hospitable people of the
town and country adjacent thereto. Think
ing that we had arrived just in time to be
too late, were a little crestfallen for mo-
ment, but only for moment, for so soon as
our little party was discovered we were
heartily welcomed by a number of friends
and acquaintance; and invited to join in
the feast which we did with hearty good
viii. The ''educational' part of our crowd
did his part manfully. In fact, we regard
the lateness of his start as very fortunate:
not to say providential; for if he had gotten
an even start with the rest the conseq uences
might have been serious AS it was, moth
ing serious resulted; only slight case of
indisposition. We don't mean to intimate
that the dinner gave out; for after all were
well filed, many basletsful were taken up;
but his native modesty prevented him from
eating very long after the rest were through
and it Is to his modesty, and not want of
food to which we attribute his safety.
