1t may console those bill collectors dragging
fruitlessly around Staunton just now, to know
that the less money they get the better it is for
them. German chemist has found by micro
scoplc examination that silver coins passing
through many hands convey diseases of many
sorts, bearing as they do upon their surface
bits of textile fabrics globules of animal mat
ter, uicellular alge, and worst of all, bacteria
in active motion and bacilli in great numbers
Even the theatrical people and restaurant
keepers of New York city say that they have
not seen depression like this since the days of
the Wall street panic of 1873. The beginning of
the year seems to have brought back to New
York no less than eleven firstclass theatrical
companies, who started out with the brightest
hopes but few weeks before Christmas.

The Cats.

The Cats.
Hear the warbling OF the cats,
Merry cats!
oh. love to hear the music of their midnight
nightly spats!
And they waltz around and frisk all,
In the icy air of night
In way so weird and brisk ALL
While their shapely tails they whisk all
With Cataline delight
Keeping time with their tails,
Like lot of Kunic fails,
To the concat- catenation (sung in sundry sharps
and fats
OF cantice on rats
Rats rats, rats,
Rats
To a wild carniverOus canticle on rats,
Hear the turbulent Tom cats
Daddy cats!
How the catapultic bootjack interrupts their fend-
ish chats!
In the darkness of the night
How their ghoulish ontcrIes smite
Portland Flats!
From their catacoustic threats
An intense
Cataphonic dirty floats
To the turtle cat that listens while she eloats
On the fence!-
All the tabby cat that listens while she gloats
To the surging cataclysm Of their wild catarrha
notes!
Hear the hoarse grandfather cats
Aged cats!
How they make us long to grasp score of good
brIckbatS!
They have caug hit a bad catarrh
CaterWauiing at the moon!
(See it! Caught bad cat RI
You may hear them from afar
Roll ftlike British
Out of tune
In a clamorous appealing to the aged tabby-cat,
In futile mad appealing the deaf old tabby-cas?
Shrieking higher, higher, higher,
Like demon in fire
While the little kitten cats
Infant cats
Sing an emulous ditty their love for juicy rats
That's
But fundamental spasm of the capers of the cats

WASHINGTON, Dec. There is appre-
henslon at the war de partment that seri-
Gus trouble may occur in Utah. The Nor
mons have been known for some time to
be in a very ugly mood The sending
away of a large part of the troops at Fort
Douglass, near Salt Lake, to Rock
Springs in Colorado, has rendered them
more open in their defiance of federal au-
thority. 1t has been thought best to send
the garrison at Omaha to Utahln order to
be ready for any emergency. 1t is proba-
BILE that sooner or later there will be a Nor
mon rebellion that will have to be sup
pressed by the military. Gen. Arson Nc
Cook, who was major-general of volun-
teers during the war and the colonel of the
9th infantry, is now in command at Fort
Douglass.
The excitement over the shooting of Nc
Murrin by Deputy Marshal Collin seems
to have been much greater than was al
first reported. Collin is one of the most
conspicuous officers in the punishment
of polygamists, and especially obnoxious
/ to Mormons and four men lay in wait fOl
/ him one evening and assaulted him, Nc
| Murrin, the leader of the gang, telling hin
! with club The officer at once regainet
| his feet and used his revolver fatally
wounding McMurrin.
The Salt Lake Herald at once issued eX
! ira editions calling upon the church t
avenge the murder of saint In quick
response the faithful assembled at the
city hall, and organized for the murder o
Collin. The mob rushed for the peniten
tiary, but were met with determination
| by United States Marshal Ireland. Tn,
next morning Il crowd of MOrmOns gath
cred, and Gov Murray at once procureC
an escort of troops TO take Collin to For
Douglas. McMurrn died Friday night
and the mob advanced to the fort, wher'
troops with loaded guns awaited thei
approach. Lieut.. Turner ordered them t
dispense, or they would be fired upon
After parley, in which Collins surren
der was demanded and refused, the mo-
finally returned to the city, swearing tina
they would return in greater numbers
