Sacred Animals.

In Egypt cats are sacred. A man who
killed cat in Alexandria, when Egypt
formed a part of the Roman empire, was
himself killed by an indignant mob, for
Roman law refused TO recognize the
sacred character OF cats, says London
Truth. With US, partridges and pheasants
are sacred. They can only be slain in
particular way, and during a particular
time OF the year. Landowners keep
in their pay number of people whose
business it is to see that these fowl
ire not interfered with by the pro-
,ane vulgar, SO that they may be strong
md numerous when the time comes foI
laying them in the manner prescribed by
he law. The slayers are called sportsmen
md the Staying is called sport. Thii
glorious occupation is reserved for the
owners of the land on which the birds arr
found, and for the friends OF the owners.
1t is usually massacre, and there is great
emulation between land owners as to the
number that can be killed in given time

-nLeahrtlle Forsaken."

Two finished performances of the drama,
Leah, the Forsaken," were given in
Lothrop's Museum yesterday by the mem
bers OF the stock company connected with
that house. The story Of the play is
familiar. The present production is an
adoption by Miss Tucker, who appears In
the leading role of Leah. BY careful and
unremitting study Miss Tucker has be.
come great favorite with the patrons OF
the popular-priced house; and, ably sup
ported, leaves nothing to be desired.
Those in the cast yesterday were Charles
Barringer, in the role Of Nathan, an
apostate Jew; Cameron Clemens as
Rudolph; Miss Josie DeVoy as Madalena;
Miss Estelle Keene as Sarah and Frank ID.
Melville as Father Herman. Preceding
the drama the members OF Lothrop's
comedy company introduced n comical
farce and the Holbrooks rendered their en-
tertaining musical skit. The same pro-
gram will be presented every afternoon
and evening during the week.

From Tho Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE News has made a very
liberal offer to Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan Is outlined as follows:
The News proposes 20 send at its own ex-
pensc a representative Rhode Island working
man 20 Great Britain 20 report upon the con-
dition OF workingmcn there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and oil necessary information and as
sistance in laying out his route. lie will start
some time In May, and will have time enough
20 do n great deal Of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are 80 compact that
great deal OF work and play, too, can be
crowded into trip Of fairly generous dura-
tlon.
The choice OF the man who Is 10 enjoy this
trip r. left with the readers of the paper. the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living By daily labor and r. compe-
tent and willing 20 keep those who have
chosen him 70 represent them informed by
sending an occasional letter 20 the News, CIV
ing the results Of his investigations. The con-
dition Of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but Il often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views Of
the writer's, and the present plan should re-
sult in q report that workinEmen and all

appearance in Providence last evening at
the Westminster Theatre, and they were
just as bright and sparkling as ever. There
was, however. last night "A newness about
the play that made il more spicy and more
interesting than in the past. The curtain
rose on the military spectacle, entitled
"Blue and Gray" in which the whole
company shows itself off to good advan-
tage. Pauline Markham as the General,
aud later on ia "Adonis." by her mastery
bearing and excellent acting, showed that
each time she comes she fascinates more
more. Sam Collins was the life of the
show, in singing, dancing, tumbling, at
all of which he was great; Little Lille

TIE PROVIDENCE NEWS has struck a new
and valuable idea in the way OF newspaper
balloting. II offers TO the bona fde wage earn.

to Europe, paying all his expenses and giving
him every possible facility TO obtain informa-
ton and asking In return that he give through
its columns an honest and unprejudiced state.
ment OF the conditions of labor as he finds t.,
The offer is open TO Democrat or Republican,
free trader or protectionist, and the result OF
the fortunate explorers visit will doubtless DO
a valuable contribution TO the literature OF the
pending campaign.
We may add that the editor as n staunch
Republican, is not taking very serious risks
from party stand point. II was just such an
exploring expedition as he invites a represen-
tative Providence workman TO take, that made
him one OF the most earnest, as be is one of the
ablest, advocates of protection In the United
Statos.

called together by beat of drum, met TO
organize the attack on the British schoon-
er Gaspee.

Major D'Arlandes, like many another
French soldier, was tired of waiting for
promotion and opportunities TO distin-
guish himself. He seized an opportunity
to enjoy a little excitement, aud at the

He made balloon ascension, which at
that time was thought to be very risky

for his rashness.

"Look here, my friend, said Mr.. Hick-
man, 81 came in here and this young man
asked me to dine, asked me what i would
have and said / could have anything /
wished. ! have enjoyed 1t very much;
am very much obliged. 1t was capital
dinner"
The landlord, seeing the nature OF the
joke and that he had been fooled, de-
termined to turn it to good account. "See
here" he said to Mr.. Hickman, 81 will
tell you how we will arrange this and say
no more about it," Taking him TO a
window he pointed across the street say
ing: "Do you sec that hotel over there?
Well, that man is running in opposition
to me. You go and serve him the same
joke you have me and will give you $50"
"Pon my word," says our friend Kick
man, Z" / cannot eat another such dinner
tonight, but / will Tomorrow" SO the
bargain was closed.
The next evening Mr.. Hickman entered
the hotel agreed upon and the same per-
formance was gone through. The waiter
and cashier, finding they could get no
money, as he insisted upon it that they
had asked him to dine, finally called the
proprietor, who was very angry and in
sisted upon being paid.
AT last, finding he could get no money,
he said =" Look here, / Will not arrest
you, and IL you will so across the street
and play that joke on that hotel opposite
/ will give you sl00."
"Oh, what a mistake have made!"
said our friend Hickman. "Why did
not come here first. He only gave me $50
for playing it on YOU"
