Tarmeryille Gazette: Mr.. J. Il. Cobb
brought to our Office last week specimen
of Cassava raised on his place. He pro-
cured the seed from nursery and says 1t
will produce more than six times as much
to the acre as will tho swest potato. MI.
Cobb further states that all kinds OF stock
eat the root with a decided relish, and
when properly cooked it is very palatable
even to tho human family. The plant Is
new to us, hence we know but little about
it; but we notice that Webster says the
juices of the cassava ''root are poisonous"
but by treatment with pressure, heat and
water, the poisonous qualities are removed
and the root yields starchy substance,
called cassava, much enjoyed for food"
However, we do not suppose tho species
Mr.. Cobb has is poisonous, for this writer
swallowed some of the juice Of the crude
root before reading Webster's definition OF
the plant, and he is not dead yet and has
no notion of dying. 1.-THE plant is all that
it is recommended to be, our readers will
find it much moro profitable to grow fol
stock and cattle than corn and potatoes.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The New York Lvceum Theater Com
pany appeared at the Metropolitan Theater
last evening, in the drama The Wife"
Every seat in the house was taken, and
ticket selling for the gallery ceased long
time before the curtain went ND. The
audience enjoyed a thorough treat, and
manifested its entire satisfaction and
hearty commentator in the manner that
only a highly intelligent audience can.
No company that has played in the Met
ropolitan has ever had closer or more fat
tering attention. While the acting through
out was the coinage of art, yet there was
in the attention to detail, from the
stage setting to the management of the
smallest mechanical accessory, such care
and completeness that the artfulness of
the effects, adding so much to the general
success, were lost in the closeness of the ap-
proach to reality that ruled upon the stage
Miss Cayvan, in the leading role, was the
finished artist; no crudities nor effortful
endeayor were manifest. In every move
ment, every expression, the most accom-
plished expedients of the dramatic art were
employed, but it was the soul behind them
that lifted the personation above the mere
emotional acting" in which the magma
ton has so little part, and the appeal is
only TO the senses. On the contrary with
Miss Cayvan it was the intellectually and
the spirituality of the artist that
vitalized the character she portrayed.
The same judgment applies in the
case of Mr. Kelley, whose finished acting
gave the spectator full view of the really
chivalrous in a true gentleman Yet,
while these leaders satisfied the desire for
completeness in artistic effect, the minor
characters were otless skillfully PLAYED and
Misses Dillon and Henderson and Messrs.
Miller, Walcot, LIE Moyne, Wheatcroft
and Dickson were strong in their art, and
with as few defects as are likely to distin-
guish the accomplished stock actor in any
well-selected first-class company. Refine
ment, symmetry, precision, grace and fin
lsh marked the entire performance.
1t is very gratifying to find that
| frst-class troupe will not lack
for appreciative manifestations in this city.
To night will be the last of the company
here, when the English comedy drama,
Sweet Lavender" will be played. While
every lover of dramatic art is DESTROYS that
every other person shall have opportunity
to witness such complete dramatic perform
| ances, it is not too much to insist that the
pleasure OF those who do not, shall not be
| spoiled by those who do bring infants into
the auditorium. The "babes in arms last
evening drew from the audience pro-
nounced manifestations of anger that was
| iustifable. The infants should be ex.
| cluded hereafter,
