Tho weather has cleared up once more.
 Health is moderately good in this sect ion except few cases ot the grippe Mrs. Della Jackson visited the Sand Ridge c"mmulity Sunday. Mrs Lula ricrlas is having tussle with the grippe.
 lt. w. Nnrment and J. NJ Gunter went ont en the sleet d few days ago. and before they had proceeded very far they came across several coon prints in the s!eet. One of the prints they termed No. If and commenced pursuit. In a short time they tfped Mr. Coon in d large sweetgum tree and brought their axes into play. Alter three hours hard work the tree came down and then their business commenced iii earnest, as we learn there were more coons than No IA there. They brought their gnns into action, and when their am- | munition WAS exhausted they had only two dead cooDs. There being three, it WAS plain that No. If had not been hurt. So they laid their guns away and began d chase. Mir. Coon became frightened and ran into Il hollow log While one seized No. IA by the tail to pull him out the other procured large stick to kill him. and when they brought him ont the battle commenced The woods wsra torn up in frightful man. ner. but No. IA had all the best of the affair and then another chase began. This ,ime they treed him in a large hollow tree. and we suppose they had A feast. as they roasted No. 14 there, and now Dewey isn't in it any more. According to all signs Of the past we will n"t have much of an overflow this spring, but ali signs fail in dry weather, we are told.
 Why not tax the worthless dogs 1? Then they would all be worth less.

 Never grow sad and blue;
 l Never sit down with a tear or a frown, But paddle your own canoe.
 Cotton picking has commenced again ! i'm. i,,.
 l One of tue spacious and plausible and. at times, deceptive arguments again,s silver coinage is that the silver dollar dnes. not contain a hundred cents worth of. silver, and that che gov-rI ment is therefore practicing a 1 fraud in giving them circulation as a primary money. We fr.quently hear persons say that they ind Iu fault with silver if the dollar has enough metal in 1t tn justify the government stamp Thus proposition iS 50 reasonable that most prrsous do not care to trouble themselves with any further ilv-stiga- ti0n. If any persons have been misled by this s0phistry we would invite their attention to some plain truths.

sparkling satire ON the bourgeois aspir=
ants TO aristocratie connections, and. as
this class is always with us, the play
has long been a fayorite in American
schools. Anglers greatest strength.
however, is to be found in a group Of
four dramas of Partisan social and po-
litical life, dealing with the literary
proletariat, speculation, clerical in
trigue and feminine ambitions. If we
read Les Iaionnes Pauvres," les
Effrontea. lie Fills de Giboyer" and
La Contagion," we shall know Angler
at his best and set a vivid light ON the
blignting of his young ideals in the
materialized society Of Paris under the
third Napoleon. No dranlatist ever had
q sterner and loftier conception of his
vocation than Angler, Upright and
downright he combines irony and hui
NOR with robust and honest loyalty to
his convictions.
Passing now to. the novelists, we may
first dismiss Paul Rourget, whose visits
to America. and cosmopolitan coEnec-
tons have helped to a vogue that is
hardly his due. The greater part of his
novels are as ingeriously futile and far
less amusing than those of Gyp. who5s
fin de steele sketches are the quint-
essence OF that frotfy ,frivolity Of which
Bourgeois novels are the psychologist

MERELY A TEST HEAT.

The yacht race will be resumed to-
day, it is hoped, under more favorable
circumstances. The first attempt was
a fiat failure. Only half the race was
run. The Columbia reached the stake
boat a little over two minutes ahead of
the Shamrock, although the latter had
the better start. The last half of the
race, from the stake boat back to the
place of beginning, was not run, both
boats being hauled in by tugs, owing to
the difficulties encountered in the head
wind. The time taken at the outer
mark as each yacht luffed around was:
Columbia, 1:37:57; Shamrock, 1888.
While the Shamrock was quarter of
minute in advance when the time
limit expired there was not enough
speed in either vessel to give the re-
turn the semolance of race The first
real test, therefore, was from the line to
the stake boat, and the result encourJ
aged the Columbia's hackers until they
feel perfectly able 10 retain the cup.
Yet the Shamrock is worthy rival,
and viii undoubtedly make hard fight
for the prize.

sure; but how is it going to be done
when the chief executive of this re-
public is throwing down the civil SER
vice bars for the benefit of ward heel
ers and spoilsmen to the great disgust
of all the decent journals in the Re
publican party? When so little con-
sideration is shown citizens, what have
subjects to expect? When the safe
guards the people have erected around
the public service here at home are de-
stroyed in the interest of place hunters,
how can we assure the natives os dis
tant islands that the carpetbag rule to
which they are expected to submit in
definitely will not be worse than that
which the south endured after the
civil war?
Some assurance OF government,
of protection from carpetbag rule, of
immunity from the well known meth
DDS of the syndicate running the adj
ministration ought to be given if 1t
takes an extra session of congress to
do it. The return of peace, the reseora-
ton of order, the end of sacrifices
would amply justify such call.

Passing now to the dramatistss We
note that naturallsm here produced a
reyersion that skips back over the
/ whole romantic movement to find its
| immediate ancestor not in Hugo or
/ Scribe, or Ponsard, but in Diderot,
though both the younger Dumas and
/ his great contemporary. Angler. learned
/ much from the novelist Balzac. On the
| lesser playwrights Of marked indiyidu-
ality-Labicfle, Feuillet, Pailleron-wef
must be content til look and pass. lit is
not until we come to our own decade
that the reaction toward idealism has
made itself strongly felt in work, of
which Rostand's now familiar "Cyrano
de Bergerac" may serve as an exam
PIE. All efforts to conquer the stage for
naturaiism as represented by lola and
his school failed and, indeed, from the
fundamental conditions of dramatic
effectiveness, could not but fail. We
must conline ourselves here to some
Characterization of the work of Angler
and Of Dumas the younger.
Augier was four years the elder of the
two. but Dumas was first to make his
mark on the stage Indeed, his Lady
With the Camelliasp in 1852 was the
beginning Of a dramatic revolution as
radical and more LISTING than that
inaugurated by Hugoss "Hernani."
With it began the realistic study Of
burning social questions that is the
keynote = Of modern. drama. Dumas
Joined here the keen analysis of Balzac
to the technical aptitude Of Scribe. His
characters were studies from life. His
plays have always a. moral purpose,
though they Will seem sometimes I'M
likely to have al moral result He writes
to- prove aS&social thesis, often al para
doxical one. He provides his plays with
argamentative pTefaces and lets his
characters develop his theories with
more frankness and force than restraint
or CONCESSION. His general aim is to
eradicate false sentiment, romantic
passion, chiyalrous love, and so to
esaancipate the coming generation for
"a more independent virile development
The burden throughout is a n9te of
warming. The most readable of his
plays is 1.-THE Money Question" the
most talked abouti "CIaude's Wife,
the most acted on the American stage
''Francillon." He wrote novels also, but
they need not detain us here.
With Dumas in purpose, force and
seriousness. we may rank Angler, not
indeed for his earlier dramas or for his
plays in verse, hut for group of social
and political studies beginning with
Mr.. Peiriers Son-in- Law in 1855 and
ending with Lions and Foxes" in 1862
The former is the finest French comedy
of manners in our century. 1t is an
honest, healthy, hearty, keen and
