"A Pair of Kids. y"

Ezra Kendall's hotch potch, "a Pair
ofKids, )" was played before medium
sized audience last night at the Grand
opera house, and will be given again
tonight. Next time they want to
come to San Antonio, we advise them
to hire variety theatre and charge
only ten cents admission, for it Is not
worth more to see it, and hardly worth
that. The play consisted in eleven
people, with no talent, whatever,
making vain efforts during the even
ing to say or do something funny, and
woefully failing every time. One gen.
tleman declared that he wished he
had a boquet (of carrots to throw on
the stage, and another declared they
deserved an ovation of fruit (over-ripe
hen fruit. That is the opinion in
which the company was held, and it
is not biased opinion either. 1t is
hoped the advent of Kiralfy's "Lagar
dere," tomorrow night, will go tar to-
ward celebrating the unpleasant i'm
preston left in the minds of many
citizens about the opera house by Ezra
Kendall.

Gov. STONE, of Mississippi, in his
inaugural address, notes that there is
not so much harmony among the
democracy of his state as when he
was governor before. This is the in
evitable result of such overwhelming
democratic majOrjties induced by the
forcible suppression of the republican
vote. The governor affects to regard
the republican party as the common
foe of the south and sees no rea-
son why at all times and under all
circumstances the democracy should
not wage war against it. This is the
secret of the evil complained Of.
Taught that all measures are fair to
prevent republican supremacy the
same tactics are employed when
democratic rivalries spring up in
democratic camps and then the com
plant is made that it hurts.

Who're sardines Come From.

We are prone at times to boast Of our
sardine-packing industry in this coun-
try, but it should be borne ir. mind, for
the sake of accurate knowledge, that, as
matter of fact, we have no sardine-
packing industry in this country. We
pack great many boxes Of little fish
which is species of shrimp, and pour
cotton-seed oil over it, and people buy
and eat them under the delusion that
they are eating sardines dressed in
olive oil. The only genuine sardines
are taken on Q few sections of the coast
Of Europe, and the French Gamers have
nearly monopolized the market by es-
tablishing reputation for the absolute
genuineness Of their fish and oil, and by
their careful, thorough method Of pack
ing, which preserves the exquisite
flavor. Good Housekeeping.

ally raised as to how the postage on this
lass OF matter Is treated The public never
sees the stamps used for the payment of
'Hcond-class postage, except as a curiosity
IN the collection of phiatelist. Unlike ali
'ther kinds of postage stamps, they never
reach the public through the post-ofllce
they are not so rare, however, among col
lectors as to bring very high premiums.
The smaller denominations are in good de-
mand, and are sold for sums considerably
in advance of their face value, but the
higher denominations can not be disposed
of at par.
1t is customary for a publisher whose
journal or periodical is entered as second
class matter to keep on deposit at the post
office sum sufficient to cover the immedi-
ate expense of mailing. If he mails 1000
pounds OF matter, he is given receipt for
that amount, and on the stub from which
the receipt is torn is placed SO in postage
stamps. The form Of stub and receipt book
used is uniform throughout the country,
and at the end of each quarter all the stubs
are forwarded to Washington. The Cancelled
stamps on the stubs represent the revenue
received on second-class matter for the par
tcular quarter which they cover 1t is not
