It is rather a thing to be marveled at that people who claim to be intelli- gent still cling to the old theory that aten pound fish placed in a tub of water will not add ten pounds weight to the tub, or a fifty pound fish fifty pounds. A crowd was discussing things ia general at Lang's last night when someone said he used to see a prominent farmer of the Grahamville section riding to the mill with a sack of corn slung across his shoulder; when asked why he didn’t place it across his mule’s back and rest himself from his burden, he always said: “Oh, just to make it light on the old mule."’ ‘This story precipitated a discus- sion of the question whether the sack on the man’s shoulder made the mule’s load any heavier, and finally reverted to the — fish-in-the-tub-of- water problem. It was astonishing that some of the oldest men contended that the fish wouldn't change the weight of the tub of water. Dr, Lang demon- strated on the scales, however, and has the satisfaction of knowing that several of his friends are more en- day morning. The ‘‘Visitor’s’’ article yesterday relative toa Cuban army in Ken- tacky 18 so palpable a fake that an exposure of it is totally unnecessary. Saturday night the band was play- ing at the entrance of the opera house. The tall negro with ‘Uncle Te company was standing out- side to show himself off.

There is a certain element among us who will never learn this, The only and right way for those to do who should not be classified with that il- literate and impolite class among us, is to show the line of distinction in association and let the white people see that there is a high-toned circle among us and we do not wish to be lumped as a whole.
