4 GRAND EsTEaTAINMEST.-W have
seen more people at Barweil Hall, but
we doubt if there was ever mere appre-
ciatiYe or better satisfied one than the
very refined and cultivated audience that
greeted the Great Levy" and his superb
company of musical stars last evening.
From the extensive press notices and the
fame anu reputation THAT preceded the
great cornet player Mr.. Jules Levy, every
person who occupied n seat in front of the
foot lights last night had gone there ex-
pecting great things OF the king Of the
Cornet," especially, and tile GOLD LEAF is
sure 10 one was disappointed. After what
has repea tedly been said OF his ingenuity
and skill in the manipulation Of this diff
cult instrument, we shall not presume to
enter into any Criticism of his perform
anees. In his hands il seems to be the cas-
lest and simplest thing possible to accom-
plish the most marvellous things with his
magic h0rn," and the audience almost
went wild every time lie took the ipstru-
ment from his lips. At each appearance
| Mr.. Levy Was recalled two or three times
and then tie audience were not satisfied.
| Miss Ollie Torbett, the pleasing and &C
complished Young lady violinist, shared
the honors with Mr.. Levy; and indeed
with many was the star of the evening.
She is beautiful in person, charming in
manner and quite captivating altogether
She was hailed with enthusiasm and
had to respond to several encoreS. Mis-:

Durham Southern Io5Gcc0ntst advises the
farmers not to plant larpe crop OF tobac-
CO this year, and says:
Owing the incessant rain the farmers are
very backward sowing their plunt-beds.
They anticipate planting large crops.
This is all wrong, better plant small crops
and raise fine tobacco than large crops and
raise common tobacco and get low prices.
A small crop was planted last year. \ ct
it will bring a third more money than the
large crop of 1886.

A WORD WITH TOBACCO Planters

A L
The GOLD LEAF greatly fears that the
present high prices of tobacco will lead
many of the farmers aStray, and cause
them to put in too large crop OF the weed
this year, hoping thereby to reap rich
harvest Of dollars next season. They
could not base their calculations upon
| greater mistake. Such Will not do, and
sad experience if nothing else will con-
vince them of this when it is perhaps too
I late. Under the head of The Western
Excitement" the Danville Southern To-
6acco journal says:
Dispatches from Chattanooga, Tenn.
say that heavy buyers of tobacco report
great excitement in Kentucky. Every
available foot of land is being engaged
ana the people are paying as high as 800
per acre for rent for good feldi.
The above is a specimen OF the Western
craze on the Burley subject and it does not
REQUIRE a prophetic soul to see the evil
that must come from such illness. 1t
seems that people could not be SO blind as
to be dcluded with such phantasmagora as
are now held up before the Western farmer

A, Brakeman on Widows.


There's lots of pretty widows to be
seen nowadays, especially when the
weather is fne," said a brakeman on
one of the Brooklyn elevated roads to a
reporter of the New York Telegram,
admiring a black-eyed beauty who
wasn't an hour over q years of age.
She was in deep mourning, and the
long Grape veil draped around her
bonnet so that it would fall down her
shoulders with an artistic dash, was a
sufficient though mute evidence of her
| widowhood, If more was needed it was
furnished by lisping fodder, whose
golden hair had glinted in the light OF
four summers, and who leased his
mamma" for permission to place his
muddy shoes on the seat SO that he
could look out of the window
I'VE have 'em on almost every train
in the early afternoon these pleasant
days. You can tell 'em every time, for
they always carry little basket and
small shovel. On the outward trip the
baskets are filed with pretty plants,
but when you see them coming back
| there's nothing in the basket but few
| faded flowers and may be some spears
Ofgrass. This line runs out near Cy-
press Hills and Evergreen Cemeteries,
you know and the young widows 90 out
| In May and June to fix up the graves
of their husbands. It's a pretty sight
and makes man believe that there is a
great deal of happiness between mar
| ried folks. Such sights as that knock
out Of a mans mind the cynicism and
| disgust which gets hold of him if he
keeps a steady course of divorce court
proceedings reading.
care the widows all young? Indeed
z II 10 n
even elderly widows are often seen CO.
| ing about their labors of love, but of
| course they don't attract our attention
as do the young and pretty ones.
That's natural, isn't it Sometimes we
get to know something about the cir
cumStanceS OF particular case. Where
there is a child, particularly boy any
where from to 10 years of age, it u.s.
ually happens that after the mother
and the young one have travelled out
toward the cemetery on the same car
half dozen times or so, the little one
will talk to one of the brakemen.
Some ofthe stories told by them in their
innocent, artless way are sad tell you.
"Am | married No, I'm not, and
| think it would be tempting fate for a
young man holding the position OF
brakeman on an elevated road, where
| there is no chance of his advancing
above that position, and where his
earnings won't exceed $l4 week, to
get married. No, | have not always
had that opinion, but since I've been
on this road I've heard SO many tales OF
young fellows earning small salaries
marrying, and then dying, that [ don't
feel equal to taking the chance of leav-
ing young widow with a couple OF
children and no money to keep them.
There are SO many instances of that
kind of recklessness brought to my
notice every day that the thought OF
anything like that in mine makes me a
coward. This is the Bridge Station, yes;

The Measurement of Sensations.
From the Popular Science MONTHLY.


AS physics measures sounds, light
and heat, it might appear that we
should already have been able to meas
ure sensations. But it is obvious that
physics measures these qualities only as
objective properties of bodies, while
psychological measure of sensation is
quite another question. The present
question, for example, Is whether ta o
quantities of light. physically and OBJ
jectively equal, produce equal sensa-
tions, and unequal luminous causes pro-
duce unequal sensations-or whether,
IN short, the proportion existing be-
tween the causes also exists between
the effects. There is no one" says
NJ. Ribot, "who has not compared two
sensations, and remarked that one is
stronger and the other weaker We
declare without hesitation that there is
more light at MONDAY than at moon
light, and that cannon shot makes
more noise than a pistol" So far con-
sciousness is sufficient, but this is not
what we call measurement from the
mathematical point OF view. To
measure a magnitude mathematical
ly is to find how many times it is con-
tanned IN another magnitude taken as
unity. Has the sun a hundred or
thousand times more light than the
moon? Does the cannon make hun
dred or thousand times more noise
than the pistol Z? Such questions can
not be answered by the consciousness,
which cannot tell how many times one
sensation is contained in another. It
would naturally occur to the mind that
sensation increases in proportion to ex-
citation, as when Herbert thought that
two lights would give twice as much IL
Illumination as one. But this is not true.
We hear distinctly sounds in the night,
or in solitude, which are imperceptible
i'll the daytime or in the hurly-burly of
business. A double volume Of sound is
not produced when number of instru-
ments or of singers at concert is
doubled. A question is involved. call
ing for careful discussion in determine
ing the proportion in which sensation
is augmented or diminished with the
excitation. This is one ofthe objects of
what is called psychophvsics.

When They Leave Us.

The exodus of our bodily troubles is doubly
welcome If their departure Jig unaccompanied by
pain 1t is the fault of the best of commendable
cathartics, which act solely upon the bowels,
that in operating they gripe and weaken these
organs. Hostetters Stomach Bitters produce q
laxative effect, but neither pain nor
weaken the abdominal region or the stomach.
This is pre-. eminently the Alternative which q
constipeted, bilious or dyspeptic person should
use. since resort to it involves DO bodily dis
comfort nor produces violent reaction. The
liver is aroused, the stomach benefited, and the
habit of body speedily and permanent i'm
proved by it. Fever and ague, rheumatism and
kidney troubles among the maladies for
which recorded experience has proved it 10 be
efficacious. 1t is a Wholesome appetizer, aud d
far relis bic tranquillizer of the nerves than
stomach-disturbing narcotics and sedatives.
