Spittinu in Birmingham.

Fifteen spitters were arrested in one day in New York at the entrance to the Brooklyn bridge, and fourteen oi them were fined two dollars each for spitting where people must walk.
 We need an example of that sort in this city, especially on streets that are swept by the dresses of many women. Outside of the flthiness of the unnee- essary backwoods practice, it is eml- nently unhealthy. It distributes germs, and germs that reach proper soll produce diseases. The scientists are agreed that splitting is a source of di- sease in all towns, and in many cities the public streets and sidewalks are no longer disigured and rendered un- clean by spitters.
 Birmingham has an appropriate and all-sufficient ordinance, but it is not enforced. What right has the police force to ignore that ordinance?

Mules and Horses Scarce.

Mules and horses are very scarce in Tallapoosa county just now" said R. l.. Johnston, who was here the other day in search of good animals for farm work.
 ''I hear that your local market is little dull It is ,le reverse down in our country, as this Is the real mule and horse buying season of the year. Farm CTS who have sold their cotton have money on hand, and are in need of good stock They are willing to pay good prices, too. As a matter of fact a good mule will bring more in Dadeville this month than he will in Birmingham. have just bought two carloads of mules and had them shipped from Kansas City and it is likely that we will have to buy more.
 While a large part of the south is raising a vigorous howl on account of the slump in cotton our farmers are very well satisfied. Most of them disposed of their cotton before the price went down, and consequently made considerable money. Most of them have paid out of debt and are getting ready to begin spring blowing. While our farmers do not intend to raise as much cotton this year as they did last I look for a pretty good sized crop provided the weather is favorable"

Smuggling Cigars.

''The high tariff Uncle Sam, Dingley and others of his chilGren have placed upon some articles of commerce, make their importation exceedingly expensive" re- marked an old government official at the Metropolitan last evening, and likewise insures a handsome profit to the person who succeeding in circumventing the v.gilant port officer, smuggles in and disposes of goods subject to heavy du- ties.
 "Though the penalty for violation of the import laws is heavy, the emoluments are so tempting for the dishonest man, there is never a paucity of bold and devil-me-care fellows who are willing to risk punishment and confiscation of goods in endeavor to enjoy those titles Uncle Sam has said should be his own. Strange and multifarious are the schemes devised u evade the government officials. I re- member an instance that occurred on the Florida coast a few years ago. that Is a fair example of the smugglers ingenuity.

'PossuM FOR CHRISTMAS.

Washington Correspondent of New York
 World.
 This is a story or Representative Heflin O. Alabama. h possum and what ap- pears to be an .nterve ntion of Provi- dence,
 Heflin was elected to fill a vacancy in the FIfty-eigfth Congress. and came here for the frs. time last December. It has been his custom to have a roasted posum for his Christmas dinner He did not get home until a few days before Christmas, and he fount there were no 'possums to be had in Lafayette. where h lives He sent out servants to find one. They returned emptyhanded. Heflin was in despair. A Christmas dinner without a 'possum, to his way of thinking, would be no Christmas dinner at all.
 He was discussing the matter with his family two night before Christmas, when one of his hired men came and said there was a disturbance in his hen house. Heflin took a gun and ran out expecting to find skunk. Instead, there was a fine fat 'possum roosting on che of the poles. Heflin promptly shot him and ate him for Christmas He declares the advent of the 'possum was directed by some supernat- ural agency.
 Ut would not have been right he says ''to serve a Christmas dinner in my house with out a possurl, and sure enough the possum came.'

write The Emperor is the head of the colossal crime against the Russian peo- pie. After the cholera outbreaks Of 1891 the physicians of the zemstvos asked permission to read popular lee- lures to the people about contagious and infectious diseases, and explain their causes, in order to prevent epi- denies, but permission to do so was fatly refused, and the discouraged physicians were restricted to the fruit less treatment by drugs of a people totally ignorant of the principles of hygeine.
 Catherine Breschkovsky, who is in this country to discuss from the lee. ture platform the condition of the Russan people, says boldly that tie suppression of everything capabTe of bringing a ray of light into the million headed peasantry constitutes the main concern and occupation of the impe- rial government, and it is a mistake to say that the Emperor Nicholas is not willing head of the dreadful con- spiraey.

Wit and Music in Siuht.

The Providence Journal thinks the it's course, and that next season will bring in revival of light opera-of such delightful works as those of Sulli- van, Strauss, Plangnette and the rest. The dismissal of the trivial music and array of glittering girls of the musical comedy at a New York theatre, and the substitution of "Fatinitza" with Mime. Fritzi Scheff in the chief role, has proven remarkably successful, and the prediction is freely made that mu- sical comedy will survive after this sason in small towns only.
 Musical comedy is musical in name only, for no attention is given to the quality of the music, and as rule company contains but one comedian. The choruses that are carted over the country cannot sing, and even if they could the music of the score is rubbish Itself.
 The general public does not often perhaps demand grand opera, nor even light operas of which Martha" is good example, but it is preparing to welcome comic opera, simply because it wants music with no admixture of yulgarity. It will welcome the works of Sullivan headed by "Pinafore," or s.Fra Diavolo," or "Tne Beggar Stu dent" or "The Chimes cf Normandy" or a hundred other operas that never fail to charm an audience.
 No one claims that such works are of the highest class, but they are artis' tic and are therefore vastly superior to the musical comedies that have fol- lived each other in fast succession. Their inanities have palled at last on tho public taste, and their end seems to be approaching. There may how ever be at the outset scarcity of sing CTS tr. ned to light opera traditions None can be drawn from the musical comedy shows, that is certain.
