Mary Anderson's Kiss.

A New York paper a few days ago,
in commenting upon the favorite
American actress, Mary Anderson, un-
dertOOk to praise her style of kissing.
The writer of this article has had the
good fortune to see Miss Anderson in q
play when all of her kissing powers
were given full scope, and we take oc-
casiOn to most emphatically contradict
the New York paper.
Mary carries a kiss around with her
which is so light and immaterial that
she stands in no danger of having to
pay excess of baggage on it. 1t is a
sort of twinkle, twinkle, little starr
arrangement, that leads every woman
who has loved to wonder what it is. 1t
is n kind of reserved, affair, such as
every married woman has and trots
out along the last of October and uses
to induce her husband to blow himself
in on Il seal-skin sacque. 1t is an emer-
gency. A cold, cheerless, clammy
compound of carelessness and indiffer-
ence; Il thing that man would prefer
to receive on the back of his head or
bosom of his shirt. 1t smacks" not
of ardor and affection. 1t is soulless.
Mary should learn to kiss, and kiss
according to HOyle. Kiss so that after
the deal she would leave Il royal flush
on the cheek of the kissee. If Mary
would pay little attention to kissing
she could cultivate an article
that would cause the fOOt-lights to pale
with envy and make the stage carpen-
ter pound his ear on his tool-chest with
admiration. She is built right to kiss
with stunning effect. Her lips are full
and red; her neck is swanlike; she
could approach Il man from the rear,
lean over his shoulder, look down
through his eyes into his boots, glue
her lips to his, draw in her breath,
compress her lips for an instant, then
suddenly part them-biff! bang! and
everybody would shut their eyes and
yell for some one to turn the hose on
them.
Until Mary devotes more of her time
to this important accomplishment, a
defect viii be visible in her acting that
will never be concealed beneath the
multitude of her many charms.-Eds

The result of the recent municipal
elections throughout the Northern and
Western states is said to have a very
depressing effect upon the Democrats
at Washington. Both the partisans
and the party opponents of the Presi-

with which the people declared for the
Republican tickets, and his enemies do
not hesitate to charge the President
with being the cause of it.

A paragraph credited to DR.. Spitzka ia
going the rounds In which the Argument
that hydrophobia IL simply an imaginary
disease Is dwelt on. Among other things
the doctor Is quoted as saying, 80 very
young child, too young TO reason, never
dies Of hydrophobia. Plausible perhaps,
but Wilmington, and doubtless other
places, can disprove the assertion. It is
hard doctor, TO butt against facts, and the
death of little Lawrence oorson several
years ago has settled this question, in
the public mind at least, in this
city. Lawrence was "a very young
child, =" he was unquestionably bitten by
a rabid dog, in the Judgment of the local
physicians, who naturally took great in
terest in the case, he died ofhydrophobia;
the real and not the imaginary article. If
DIR. Spitzka would look up the record Of
this ohild's illness and death, he would
| be inclined TO modify his opinion.

There is such thing as being entirely

The few rabidly partisan organs that
made the recent telegraphic report Of the
shooting, by some young acoundrels in
Newton county, Mississippi, calling them
selves Regulators, of inoffensive negroes,
text for another chapter of sectional mis-
representation and abuse, might read the
New Orleans Times Democrat with profit.
They would see that such misdeeds are az
strongly condemned in the south as in
the north, and that they have no more
national significance than the burning Of
courthouse and the shooting Of people
on the streets by q mob Of Cincinnati
rioters. The Times Democrat says:
We are glad to see tie prompt and ener-
getle manner in which Governor Lowery
has acted In this matter. As soon us
these ontrnges were called 10 his atten-
ton, the sheriff Of the county was In
| str1cted to arrest the desperadoes; TO sum
mon tho whole county as posse, II this DO
came necessary, and II u sufficient force
| could not he obtained In this way, TO call
| on him (the governor) and state troops
| would be furnished to put an end to this
violence and arrest the perpetrators OF It.
The governors orders were strictly car.
/ rled ont. The sheriff acted at once, and
nearly all the chief criminals In this affair
are now under arrest and in prison.
Newton county, where the outragas 90
cured, Is out OF the line of travel, 9nt
thinly populated. IL was possible, therefore
for outlaws like these men to operate fol
some time withou; attracting as much at
tantion as In districts In close communlca
ton with the capital but II was not POSSIBLE
for them to continue their violence after
once got to the ear of Governor Lowry.
For the credit aud honor of Mississippi
such outrages cannot be endured or per
mitted. They are as the present case shows
easily suppressed, requiring only firmnes
and determination. The governor will n
ceive the thanks OF the people Of the stat
for his promptnass In acting, and for hi
energy In having the outlaws arrested.

The official correspondence relating to
Editor Cuttings arrest and detention puts
the matter in very different light. Pre-
vious press reports had made it appear
that Cutting had originally published a
libel in his Mexican paper, for which, on
being brought to account, he rendered
full and some accounts said, abject
apology, Being thereupon released, he
crossed over TO Texas and re-
published the libelous article in his
Texas paper, which circulated in
Mexico. On revisiting Mexico he was
directed to retraot in that country his
Texas libel and, refusing to do this, was
committed for contempt of court. The
inference was that the Mexican cognizance
of the offence was based on the claim
that the circulation of the libel in Mexico
was a crime for which the offender was
liable when found within the Mexi-
can jurisdiction. But Secretary Bay
ards report to Congress says that
"no allegation of the circulation in
Mexico by Mr.. Cutting is made, and
indeed no such circulation was practi
cable or even possible, because the arrest
was summarily made on the same day Of
the publication in the English language
in Texas on the coming Of the alleged
writer or publisher into Mexico, and the
Mexican correspondence accompanying
/ Mr. Mrrescal's refusal to release Cutting
( shows hat the 1SGth article of the
i Mexican code is the ground of thii
