New York, Sept. 12.— 1f I said that the
city was fully reeking with plays, it would
sound like an exaggeration; and yet it is
abs lutely and undeniably true. You meet
6cm;body on the street, and they have
either been to see anew play, know a man
who has just written one, or are anxious
that you should waste some of your valuable
time in seeing whether you think a play
would go. A3 a play reader, I don’t count
myself a success, for those that I have read
and pronounced of great interest have
usually, when represented on the real stage,
fizzled out like an egg phosphate. However,
in seeing plays, 1 regard myself as what might
be called in the parlance of the colored
lady, u dabster. But, like that famous dog
of Jerome’s Montmereucy, my tastes are a
little low. I have too long struggled with
the flesh and the devil to try to love plays
that are largely composed of fr> cks, gen
tlemen attired in corsets, with plots that
hinged on the religious belief of the hero or
the sin of the heroine, and where everybody
talked through live acts, and at the end
everybody said, “At last we know.” And I
wondered why they didn’t take the audience
into the secret. I have tried to like these
plays, I don’t.
THE EVER FASCINATING MELODRAMA.
I think there must boa touch of the
ancient Greek in me, for what I like, and
what most woman like, is a good, blood
curdling, exciting melodrama, one of the
kind where the heroine is an angel of good
ness and the villain is as black as his dress
clothes —I mean his heart is as black. The
sweetheart is ns nice as sugar candy, and
the friend who helps them through all their
difficulties is hot exactly a tin god on
wheels, but a brisk young man who is in
with all the fire companies, who bus an
amateur acquaintance at the police station,
and who has the knowledge of the art of
telegraphing, of writing shorthand, and
the apotheosis of the art of make
up, so that he can send messages
or appear disguised and rescue virtue
from vice. Then, if a little bit of cellar
flap dancing is introduced, if somebody
sings a comic sotg and a few delightful old
chestnuts are served up as fresh, J am
happy. And do you know, I think the rest
of the audience are. Life itself is a good
bit of a melodrama. It is a combination
of music and emotion, indignation and
virtue and vice. We women are fond of
looking into mirrors, so it is the melo
drama that suits us. I like to see the young
woman from Boston raise her eye
brows as I say this. I like to see the
blase young man put on his monocle and
yawn at this expression of my ignorance of
the culture of the drama as expressed by
me. I can endure the shrug and the deadly
glance, I can. And I can think to myself
w hat a pity It is people don’t stay young
enough in heart to enjoy lyhat is really
worth enjoying. The other night I went to
see a play called “The Fire Patrol.” It had
a scene lixit away out iu Deadwood, where
tiie ore-crushers wore just coming down to
fiuißh up one of the most virtuous men
you ever imagined. We hung, fright
ened out of our wits, on to our
orcnestra chairs. Wo knew he was going
to be saved, but ail the same we had the
dreadful fooling beforehand that the saviour
might be too lu'.e, and when be got there in
time we all gave a sigh of relief, and laid
back and felt as if we ought to congratulate
the young woman who owned the heart of
the young man, and for whom he was under
going such dangers. Then there was another
scene, when
tiie pike patrol came tearing in
to keep tho model young man fr< m being
murdered, and it was all that the whole sec
tion of femininity could do to keep from
cheering tho firemen. Thero is the sort of a
play 1 like. I like a play with go in it. I
like to look up in the gallery and see the
rows of boys, with their eyes as nig as
saucers, staring down and admiring Mile.
Mousseline, enthusiastic over the pluck of'
the man who loved her, and nearly kicking
the remainder of tlioir boots to pieces as
they cheer virtue. Virtue doesn’t get a
special amount of cheering outside the play
house, and that is one reason
why I think it is a healthy thing
to have in it. Yes, give me the melodrama.
I should like a melodrama on tap. If I could
n't always have an ore-crusher, l wish a
train, running at full speed, with the hero
ine tied on the front of the engine. If I
couldn’t always have a firo patrol, I want a
large and noble dog, who will rescue a
family of children, and, by bis exertion—as
an adjunct to a circus—will support them
in luxury, until Lord Somebody discovers
that they ore his own. and takes them to
live in castles a id wear coronets, and puts
a baud of diamonds around the
dog’s neck, and has him fed out
of silver plates by footmen dressed
in red and gold livery, and all adepts in the
use of the dog language. In the meantime,
however, if your tastes are at all like mine,
go and see “The Firo Patrol.” It will sat
isfy all tho desire you may have up to date
for the emotional in the drama, and you
will come away with a nice, sweet taste in
your mouth, just as you do when you have
had a cream or a peppermint candv, in
stead of one of those indigestible French
ones, compounded of hitter almonds and
made tasty, so to say, with the liquor.

The other day a woman talking about
another woman, finished up by saying,
“She’s very chairitable.” Tho other wom
an, being a bit curious, asked, “How is she
charitable ?” And tho first one vaguely
said, “Well, she goes to the hospitals, and
takes them flowers, Bibles, buns, ami tracts
'■ and reads to them, and taikH to them about
their souls.” Then the other woman said:
‘You call that charitv, do you ! Well, if I
were a man, I would like to put ad with a
long dasn after it, and call it imperlir.once.
If I were sick and in the public ward of a

oome out and care for them himself. There
is a work for you. It is better than carry

It Is what the Bible teaches, and the ex
perience of most people in this world is, we
find it easier to give away black and white
editions of the Bible than to show its teach
ings as man to man, and as brother to
brother. Charity may cover a multitude
of sins, but there are more crimes, more
worrying little deviltries oommitted in the
name of charity than in the name of any
other virtue.
A woman thinks she is charitable when
she asks a man what he thinks about the
future. Now, when he has a raging fever
and every separate and individual bone in
his body is aching and his eyes feel like
balls of firo the future doesn’t trouble him
in tho least, it is the present that he is in
terested in; and a good spongiug off with
cool alcohol, the straightening up of the
bed, and tbe giving of a veritable drink of
cold water is a far greater charity than pict
uring to that man what ho would iook like
dies ed up as an angel, playing on a harp.
In his present condition he has no use for
harps. Jus remember that I don’s wau’tto
say one word to keep any good woman from
trying to do her best, but I wish afewot
them—just a few—would be a little bit
more practical, and reinember how, when
they are ill, their own husbands and sons
want to be treated, and credit other men
with having the same human feelings. A
sick man is always a sad and sorry sight—
especially if he isn’t very sick. He baa it
firmly planned out that bo is going to dio.
Ho thinks nobody ever bad such pains as ho
did, and from the very first takes an ag
gressive position toward the doctor, regard
ing him os a personal enemy, rather than a
kind friend. Djctors are very much like
whisky—there’s good whisky, and better
whisky, so they say, but there’s no bad
whisky. I t:;ke that back, though; there
may be a few bad dootors, but their inten
tions were honorable when they startad in,
and it is probable because they have attend
ed men that they have grown greedy and
cold-hearted, rather than because of their
profession.
DOCTORS, GOOD DOCTORS,
are a thousand times more tender-hearted
than any other met), because they know just
what the paiu is, and how it is hurting, not
only your body, but your mind. They snow
just when you are worrying over some
thing; yes, and just what medicine you
need, besides that which comes iu bottles
from the ohemist. They know you need
cheerful words; not too many. They know
you need something to disiract your at
tention from yourself, and they come into
your sick room as if they brought rays of
sunshine with them, and leave you
feeling as many times better as you felt
worse before tney came. A man who isn’t
cheerful naturally, who isn’t born with that
golden virtue, ought never to beoome a
doctor, I should think the best vocation for
him to take would be to sell ready-made
uudenvear to ladies, but a doctor —well! if
there’s anything between a man and an
angel, that is, on this earth, it’s a dootor
who can not only cure your pains but make
you absolutelv thankful to pay his bill, and
make you willing to pawn your soul to get
the money to do it with.
MAN AND WOMAN'S SOUL.
Bve-tbo-bye, if people were pawning
souls, I wonder what they would get for
them! There are souls so mean and narrow
and contracted, that I don’t believe even
the Maryland coin known as a “lip and a
bit,” and which is really 6% oeuts, would
be given to them. Then there are souls
that seem so overflowing with loving kind
ness, souls that seem to rise up and look out
of the eyes as if they saw sweotness and
purity-, and light, and yet In these souls
there is that awful, awful something,
that we call selfish, that means “I will
have what I want, and be any
thing that I want to get, but I find tno
amiable business is the most successful.”
What would you give for a soul like that!
I thiuk a colored Chinese coin, with a hole
in the center of it, would be the best. Then
'here are good souls that are like all-wool
flannel— warranted to wear and not to
shrink. Souls that have had much to
bother them, and for these a silver piece
might bo given by a generous pawnbroker.
And theu there are souls that have gone
through the Are of life, beon struck by the
sword of temptation, and are sweeter than
they were before they were bruised, and
for these, oven the pawnbroker would give
gold and diamonds, for their price is above
rubies.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1891.
The Oyster Law.
Editor Morning News; I have neither
time nor inclination to notice the person
alities of Dr. Oemler’s communication of
Sept. 11, nor to go into an investigation of
the family relationship of Eusigu Drake, as
I cannot see what connection that matter
has with the discussion of the expediency
and purposes of the legislation which has
invested his charts with so much import
ance in Georgia, nor to consider the mat
ter of oyster beds as defined by Maryland
judges and college professors. The issue
with us is whether the legislature of Geor
gia should repeal a law which, if not re
pealed during the present session, will give
over to syndicates and monopolists the
entire oyster territory of Georgia. It mat
ters not now who is responsible for the law,
except in so far as the legislator Is respon
sible to his constituents for bis conduct iu
relation to it.
Dr. Oemler disclaimed, in behalf of him
self and Representative Ilvas, of responsi
bility for tbe validating clause of the
amendment which entrapped the legisla
ture into legalizing fraud, cannot divert
attention from that part of the law which
will forever fasten upon Georgia an oyster
monopoly if the present legislature fails to
repeal it, whether Representative Ryals
koeps faith with his pledge to the governor
in reference to it, or sues tit to disregard his
pledge. By the way, too. Dr. Oemler fails
to say upon whom responsibility for the val
idating clause should rest, and "fails, also, to
explain how Representative Ryals can bo
dives ed of responsibility, in view of bis
failure to consent with Representatives
Clifton and Hartridge to a withdrawal of
the bill from the governor, in order to have
its pernicious features eliminated.
Whilst Dr. Oemler disclaims responsibility
for tho amendment, he acknowledges the
paternity of the original bill. Any legis
lator who will oarefully read the act in con
nection with the memorial ad affidavits
submitted to the governor in reference to it,
and takes notice of the artful manner in
which it has been framed, he will observe In
the beginning of section oan emphatic re
affirmation of the policy of the state, as de
clared in the act which it amends, to reserve
forever as tno property of the state the
natural oyster beds of the state, anil to keep
the same “open to all her citizens for the
purpose of consumption, sale, seed or propa
gating purposes;” and yet, in this very same
section, tho serpent is concealed which has
struck its fangs into the vary vitals of this
policy.
And as to section 8 its incensisteney with
the reaffirmation referred to, is too glaring
to admit of question.
Now as to Dr. Oeinler’s charges of mis
representations in the memorial, 1 propose
to notice but one as of any importance, io
wit: that la which he attempts to refute
the statement that “a vast area of public
beds In the county has been staked off,” by
the assertion that “with a single exceiition
(at Thunderbolt) not a foot of any natural
bed has beau applied for under the law of
1889,” evidently not discriminating between
l>eds staked off and beds applied for. This
is an astonishing statemont, in view of the
fast that the doctor was present, as a wit
ness for tho btnte, in t!u< case in which
Leander Richards was prosecuted by Pad
for taking oysters from a bed which he had
leased, and acquitted on the ground that the
bed from whicu the oystors had been taken
was a natural bod, despite the fact that Bul
letin No. 19 did not so designate it. An at
tempt was made to use a copy of Bulletin
No. 19 in the trial. Dr. Gender being the
principal witness to support it, if my mem
ory serves me right.
Now as to the Doctor’s reference to the
instance in which I caveated Puff’s appli
cation for a lease of oyster territory, a
statement of the facts in ouuneotion with it
may serve to illustrate bow private prop
erty may be Invaded under tho oyster law.
When persons began to stake up oyster ter
ritory in Chatham couotv a rumor reache 1
me that Mr. Pail intended to apply for sav
eral five-acre lo.ises to ground in front of
my island below and near my residence.
Air. Atnbos had already stake 1 of and ap
plied for leases to all tbe ground imme
diately in front of my residence and oppo
site my property on the mainland,
ana the taking up of the ground
opposite my island would have
left me without any reiouree for oys
ters near my residence. Under these cir
cumstances, although I had not intended to
apply for any leases, I proceeded to plant
oysters on the ground in front of tbe ruareh
contiguous to my island and to which I
have ha.l title for over twenty-five years,
and upon which I have always paid taxes,
with a view to applying for a lease to it in
order to secure It against other occupancy.
About this time Mr. Pali placed stakes upon
the front of this marsh laud considerable
above low water mark and applied
for leases to it. I placed stakes at
low water mark, as the law required,
and caveated Pad’s application upon sev
eral grounds, one of which was that he had
not complied with the law as to staking
off the ground. As to the article
which Dr. Oemler has characterized
with his accustomed acridity as a tissue of
nonsense and misrepresentations Ido not
feel called upon to refer to it as I was not
its author.
I notice that tho bill to sell tho marsh
lands hs beau introduced in the legisla
ture. When in Atlanta I discovered that
the representatives who were mainly in
strumental in getting the oyster law
amended were ad vocatmg it. It looks as if it
is a part of thesame monopolistic scheme. If
title to the marshes, which carry with it
all utmavigablo streams, can bo secured,
every creek that has oysters iu it oan be ac
quired by tho oyster company whioh secures
the title. Verity tho octopus is reaching
out its tentacles to graip everything in the
state. Maxim: Dksv irukr.s.
HSRI’S AOuBiO-S PIG.
He’s a Cross Between a Kangaroo
and a Rtzorbacfc.
From the .Veto York Advertiser.
In a stuffy pen in a stuffier loft under the
shingled roof of No. 130 Maiden lane, a
curious looking anima’, with a greasy hide
and a temper as hot as Aug. 15, is idly
whiling away tbe first few days of his
sojourn in this city. He has an intelligent
countenance, and undoubtedly knows more
of the world in general than ho is in a posi
tion to tell. He lounges about all day.
wrapt in thougtit and a woolen blanket,
listening attentively to what is going on,
and making bis presence known only by
grunts of satisfaction or disapproval of
what is being said or done.
Ho landed here a few days ago from the
steamer Habana, from Havana, and Is on a
short visit to his friend, Joaquin Cosio, at
the address given above. Some folks
might call him handsome, but it is doubtful
if he ever oould cut a figure in society if he
brought his countenance along. Ho ha3 a
face like a fried egg, and a rim of whiskers
around it like a growtti of stunted sprouts.
But he’s healthy and doesn't mind it.
Mr. Cosio thinks h9is a bird. Mr. Cosio’s
friends, who have paid their respects to the
stranger, say he’s n bog, in the literal
sense,and contend their point on the ground
that what tho opposition says is a beak is
as much like a tailor's bill os that of a bird.
Tbe otuer side claims that the bird theorists
don’t know a bill when they see it. And so
the matter rests, with a beak or a snout,
which ever it is, a bone of contention be
tween the two parties.
But the animal looks like a pig for nil
that, and one of the most curious looking
pigs iu the country. He has never had
more than two legs, and those are situated
a little ia front of the center of his body. He
cannot walk like the more complete speci
mens of, his raoe, but "gets there" all the
same. His tail is unusually long and stro-og,
and with it he shoves his body al mg, while
he lifts his feet and moves in a manner
characteristic of a frog. He was born about
two years ago in tbe wilds of Remate, out
side of Havana, and was captured quite re
cently and sent to Mr. Cosio. There are no
signs of any hind legs.

INSTINCTS OF CATTLE.
Why They Are Excited by tho Color
Red—Experienc * on the Pampas.
From the Chicago Mail.
When we consider that blood is red; that
the smell of it is, or may be, or has beon, as
sociated with that vivid hue in tho animal’s
mind; that blood, seen and smelt, is, or has
beeu associated with the sight of wounds
and with cries of paiu and rage of terror
from the wounded or captive animal, there
appears to bo some reasou for connecting
these two instinctive passions as having the
same origin—namely, terror and rage caused
Dy the sight of a uiomber of the herd struck
down and bleeding, or struggling for lifo in
the grasp of an eneinv.
I do not mean to say that such an image
is actually present in theanimai’s mind, but
that the inherited or instinctive passion is
one in kind and in its working with the pas
sion of the animal when experience and
reason was its guide. But the more I con
sider the point the more am I inclined to
regard those two Instincts as separate in
their origin, although I retain the belief
that cattle and horses and several wild ani
mals are violently excited by the smell of
blood for the reason just given—namely,
their inherited memory associates the smell
of blood with tho presence among them of
some powerful enemy that threatens their
life.
The following incident? will show how
violently this blood passion sometimes
affects cattle, when they are permitted to
exist in a half-wild condition, as on the
pampas. I was out with my g\fti one day,
a few miles from home, when I came across
a patch on the ground where the grass was
pressed or trodden down and stained with
blood. I concluded that some thievish
gauchos had slaughtered a f it cow there on
the previous night, and, to avoid detection,
had some :ow managed to carry the whole
of it away on their horses.
As I walked on, a herd of cattle, number
ing about 309, appeared moving slowly on
to card a tmall stream a mile away; they
were traveling in a thin long lino, and would
pass the blood-stained spot at a distance of
seven to eight hundred yards, hut the wind
trora it would blow across their track.
Whan tho tainted wind struck the leaders
of the hard they instantly stood still, raising
their heads, then they broke into loud ex
cited bellowing*; and finally, turning, they
s'arted off at a fast trot, following up tho
scent in a straight line, Until they arrived
at tho place where one of their kind had
met its death. The contagion Bproad, and
before long all the cattle wore congregated
on the fatal spot, and began moving around
in a dense mass, bellowing continually.
It may be remarked here that tho animal
has a peculiar language on occasions lise
this; it. omits a succosslon of short bellow
iug cries, like excited exclamations, fol
lowed by a very loud cry, alternately sink
ing into a hoarse murmur and rising to a
kind of scream that grates harshly >m the
sense. Of tho ordinary “cow music” lam
a groat admirer, and take as much pleas
ure in it as in the cries and melodies of birds
and the sound of the wind in trees; but this
performance of cattle excited by the smell
of blood is most distressing to hear.
