Dramatic Notes.

Another of the series of dramatic
entertainments. given under the au-
spices of the local lodge of Odd Fellows,
was presented to our amusement-loving
public last Saturday evening.
"On the Stage, A Comedy in Two
Acts and Six Scenes, Built for Laugh
ing Purposes Only" was the way 1t was
billed, and laugh they did. AS on the
previous occasion, the house was
packed, but the seating arrangements
were much better than when the first
play was given.
"On the Stage is a pot pourri of
dramatic incidents portraying the diff
ticulties of theatrical manager In get
ting together company of players for
the road, and its many funny scenes
and incidents kept the audience in a
roar of laughter from the beginning to
the end of the show.
a feature OF the entertainment was
the fine musical program rendered un-
der direction OF Mr.. Foote, who is a
finished musician in more lines than
one. Ft'''
Mr.. Richard Cloherty, under whose
supervision the play was set, was the
star, and was ably assisted on the boards
by the following array Of local talent :
". Ii. Clark. Q. b. Kelly, ]. b. Hill.
Simon Mootz, Tommy Cassiday. Mrs.
A. II. Adams, Miss Myra Nichols.
Mrs, j. l.. Gray, the Misses Carrie and
Hattie Mootz and Miss Fairfield.
The next play will be given as a COM
plimentary benefit to Mr.. Cloherty, who
has certainly earned it by his hard work
in connection with the two given. sg.

There is difference of opinion
among our cattlemen regarding the ef-

favorable, while others take a different
view Of the matter and point to our long

all classes of stock have wintered well

OYSTERS WITH TEETH.

Wonderful Stories That Como RFosn
the Rappahannoc<.
Mr.. D. M. Nelson, agent of the Weefns
Steamboat company, at Urbana, on the
Rappahannock river, Virginia, brought
up to Baltimore q curiosity discovered
by him which has created considerable
interest among Steamboat people about
Light street wharf, says the Baltimore
American. It is live oyster Of large
size, growing out of the mouth off an
yeast powder bottle, which was found
oil the shore of the Rappahannock river,
The oyster is considerably larger than
the bottle, and only very small por-
ton is inside. Upon the sides of the
bottle are several small oysters of tiny
size, firmly fastened there.
Mr.. Nelson has brought up a story
more wonderful than his oysters, and
for which there has as yet been no
evidence produced. 1t is Of IN old gem
tleman who lives near Urbana, and who,
80 the story goes, while bathing during
the summer, lost a set of false teeth,
which foated away or went to the bot
tom. Last week, while dredging, an
oysterman brought up to the surface q
pair of false teeth, around which .
/, number of oystersSwere clinging, some
of which were Of good size, and fastened
on firmly. The old gentleman prompt
ly identified his teeth, and keeps them
as a curiosity.

Explanation of a Strange Gastronom-
zeal Feat.


A colorad waiter in one OF the lead
ing hotels Of this city has been sorely
perplexed for weeks, but the other day
he came to a satisfactory solution Of
the problem confronting him, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. A well-dressed
young man, smooth faced, dressed in
black, came in for lunch at 12 o'clock
one day, and partook heartily of every
dish on the bill of fare, rewarding the
waiter with substantial tip for his
diligence. Two hours later the. waiter
spied the same man at his table, and
wonderingly fastened to supply his
wants. The customer ordered every
thing on the bill and devoured it with
evident relish and satisfaction. He left,
tipping the waiter. The same thing oc-
Cured the next day, and the next, and
tie next, for two weeks, till all the
walters in the place became interested,
marveling at the epicureon propensi-
ties of the man, till one of them ven
tured: "Say, mistah, 'scuse me, but
how can. you eat so much so close to-
gether?" The man was now perplexed.
Eat much, why2" he queried. "'Cause
youzc been in fur two dinners cherry
day fur two weeks" "Oh, no, I
haven't" he answered. "Shure you
has, mistah." Matters were becoming
embarrassing till the customer in black
bethought that his twin brother dined
there regularly at noon.

..susMARIhE ExPLoRgR" OF 1880

ConbinatioA Div1A1 BEN ana suit
Made By Barnstable Men.
A patent was granted February Is,
1880, for diving apparatus called the
submarine explorer, to Sewan Short
and Noah Bradford, of Barnstable. The
description Of the invention was as fol-
lows:
This diving apparatus consists of
and is in form like an inverted bell.
Both ends of this buoy, or bell, are open.
It must be made of light materials and
covered with leather or other sub
stance, so as TO render it impervious TO
water. There is a platform, or seat,
around it on the inside, to accommodate
the assistants. To the lower end of the
buoy is attached a flexible water-tight
tube, which may be two feet in dame
ter, and must extend nearly to the bot
tom of the water.
The tube is distended by strong iron
rings and sunk by means of weights;
its lower part terminates in water
tight dress, fitting the legs and arms,
and kept distended like the main tube,
by suitable rings; light is admitted
through openings occupied by strong
panes of glass. The whole apparatus
thus forms bag open at top, but
closed below. It is to be moored in a
secure way, and to be of sufficient
length to allow it to rise and fall with
the motion of the water, without dis
turbing the operator.
A windlass is provided, which crosses
the floating buoy, and is necessary to
draw the diver up when necessary; an
air tube to force air down and hy-
draulic tube to pump any water up
which may accidentally enter, are also
appended. 'g

CAGES FINANCIAL BILL.

powers of his Office to the banks.
Such handing over to the banks of
the sovereign power to regulate the
volume OF currency and 80 it's value
would greatly strengthen the hands
Of the speculative cliques using the
banks as their tools. It would
strengthen the ability Of such cliques

be in position to enrich themselves

Mr.. Cages currency bill might
justly be entitled "a bill to provide
for the abdication of the sovereign
powers Of the Government to the
banks, for strengthening the hands
Of the speculative cliques and trusts,
enriching the few and impoverishlng
