TO Abaie the Hat Nuisance.

A Boston special says While Boston
theatrical managers look with Indifference
upon tie growing feeling against hgh hats
at the theatre, quiet effort is being made
To abatc the nuisance on one OCCASION, at
least. This is at the approaching season Of
the National Opera Company. and the d.
rtctors Of the local branch Of this company
have cen diligently circulating in society
circles an agreement which reads: In
view Of the fact that the stage Is partially,
and oitentimes almost totally concealed by
the bonnots and hats Of the present mode,
we, the undersigned, at the request OF the
directors Of the National Opera Company,
have consented TO wear at the evening per-
formances OF the opera company in this city
neither bonncls nor hats"
Those circulating this agreement assert
that it has been freely signed wherever
presented, and that in no case has serious
objection been raised Whether this is
due to the novelty of the thing or to de-
sire to remedy an apparent evil does not
appear, but in any event II can scarcely fail
to be a pleasing innovation, and will re-
suit, If carried out, in a startling change in
the appearance OF the next operate au.

LoGAN-WHAT Book He READ LAST
The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gdzette says;
"The last book that General Logan read
was the late biography OF General X. f.
Lee. As his fecbleness increased and the
use OF his hand was rendered ineffective,
he asked Miss RlXfOrd, a visitor at his house,
to read aloud to him. This she did and
finished the "memoires" the day before he
was fatally stricken down. General Logan
expressed TO Miss RiXford his high admlra.
ton Of General Lees character both as
good and great man. but he considered
Stonewall jackson the greatest soldier the
South produced. The General in his last
illness expressed his pleasure at the testi
monial he received in the summer OF 1884
signed by 50s eX. Confederate soldiers living
in the Valley of Virginia, and said there
were few things that ever happened to hin
that gratified him more than did this tri
butte"

Again: Horses cannot be bred like
cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry, to sell
profitably when ovsr.stocked whether
one is ready to sell or moth as oss',
pork, or poultry. They (horses) must
have living, increasing value in USE
for several years.
Men can pay five, ten, twenty, to
fifty dollars year for poultry, pork,
mutton, or beef, but they cannot afford
to pay two, three, four, or five hundred
dollars o year for saddle, or road. or

it; hence / say to the breeder and
farmer. Fewer and better-which can
only be through intelligent breeding to

No state in this Union has two better
bred stations for getting the highest
rates of trotting speed, also coachers,
than has Virginia to-day; and their
blood is an affinity blood, without one
drop of the mongrel blood called Ham

as getters of great trotting speed, with
