CALKIHS. proprietor. ON Sunday night next, Kate Castle- ton reappears at the Chicago Opera House in that most popular farcical piece entitled "Crazy Patch". Miss Oastleton throughout the country Is now pre-eminent among soubrettes net even excepting^Lotta, Miss Cas­ tle tou has the advantage of youth beauiy, vivacity, and a French chic about her acting that has won her th*- ritle of the American Judic. Crazy Patch is brimfull of the most comical situations and the most charming se ioctlons of music and is acted by a company picked from among tbe comedlaBS and comediennes' of the couutry. "WE suppose," says an exchange, -'that many people thick newspaper men are persistent duns. Let tbe far mer place himself in a similar position and sec II he would not do the sauie. Supposing he raises one thousand bushels of wheat, and bis neighbor xbould come and buy a bushel, and tbe price was a small matter of 92 or less and say, 1 will baud you tbe amount in a fe* days. As the farmer does n$,t want to be small ab<iut so small a mat­ ter, he says, 'all right,' and the man leav< s with the bushel of wheat. An other one comes In the same way and still another, uutll tbe whole thousand bushels of wheat are trusted out to one thousand diflerent purchasers and not one of the purchasers concerns hi.nself about it, for It is a very small amount be owes tbe farmer, and ef course it doesn't help him any. He does not realize that the farmer has frittered away his large crop of wheal and its value is due him in a thousand little tributes, and that be is seriously embarassed in*bls business because bis debtors treat it as a small matter. But if all would pay bim promptly it would enable him to carrv on bis bust ness without difficulty. The abovo comparison Is toe true of tbe difficul­ ties with which tbo newspaper man ALGONQUIN.

It is well worth tbe time consumed in crossing the country to observe tbe condition of the studs of horses, herds of cattle and swine, and flocks of sbeep as tbey regaled them­ selves on the sunny side of the farm yards along tbe way. Boreas bad par­ tially lost bis grip, and the day was mild and pleasant. Tbe power and feed cutter seem to be a flxture and attachment ot every farm yard, as was also the heater in the water tanks. The stock looked healthy and bright as if no want ot teed had as yet been realized. No bleaching corn stalks were to be seen wasting *!ts sweetness' on tbe wintry blasts, but everything In the form of fodder seamed to be utilized. The Hunt Bros, are winter­ ing a large stock, comprising horses, c utle, hogs and sheep, and so far at beheld In the stay were in fine condi­ tion.

STtWWSI, EDITOR PXXTNDKALIS^S -^'I IIATI thought before leaving home ( would write yon a short descrlptlan of our Southern trip and of the country which we Inhabit at present. But was so badly disappointed with the weather after getting here, I did not want to say anyihlng. But the weath er has broken and the past few days have been just elegaolt I have writ ten several private letters, and have told them what our weather has *beei> in the past. So I will not take up anj more room than possible. We left Chicago Jan. 12th, the even­ ing tbe bllzz&rd commenced, and ha d serious trouble with the SHOW, but woke up tbe next morning fire hours behind hand, on aooount of broken en­ gine and strong wind to contend with. But It kept growing warmer all the time as we came Soutb, and when we arrived in Natchez at twelve o'clock, ooon, it was very, very fioe and wr thought we bad struck what we were looking for. That day the thermom­ eter stood at 68 degrees above zero aod tbo air was as soft as summer. But since that time we have had rale, •leet and snow and very disagreeable weather until tbe past two days, which, as I said before, ts very floe. To-day we have had suob a pleasant trip that 1 must give you a little his­ tory of* It. As you will see we are stopping at VldaJla, directly opposite Natchez in Louisiana, a little village, although tbe county-ss«t of Concordia Parish, Wo hired a colored man to row us all up and across the river to the Mississippi side, where we com­ menced to climb the Bluff, and it Is very steep and high. When getting on top of the bluff we commenced vis­ iting tbe different cemeteries. First, the Natchez cemetery, both Protestant and Catliolto, where we spent about two hours and saw a great deal to In terest us. Then we took shelter in one of tbe summer housls and ate our dinner (for It was very warm tbe thermometer standing at 76 degrees in the shade). After taking a rest we Visited the United States National Military Cemetery: established in 1866; No. or graves, 3085; No. known, 310. And it you ever have a chance to visit one of these cemeteries, don't fail to do so. I would not miss it for a great deal. This one Is very fine but tbey tfll me thftttbe one at Vlcks burg is far superior. But I will have to bring this to a close er 1 shall [weary your patience I am writing this on tbe veranda over looking tbe Mississippi River and not more than twenty feet from the levee where tbe big steamers are plyiog all tbe time, and it is a beautiful sight The sun Is fast .deoltolnS behind the hills, and 1 can't help but think of you \ll there in the snow while it is so pleasant here.
