OHl! OPINIONS OF SAMUKt, C. PERKINS AND (I, W.
U1UULE, KSQ.S.
To the Gettysburg Asylum for Invalid Soldiers:
There have beeu submitted to us, by members or the
Corporation, a letter dated the 4th instant, addressed
to Brigadier-General H. G. Sickel, Treasurer, by Hon.
Benjamin Harris iirewster the Attorney-General,
together with the Act ot Incorporation, passed by the
legislature and approved by the Governor March 8,
167; also the minutes of the meeting for the organiza
tion of the Corporation, and the By-Laws adopted tor
its government.
There Is a perfectly plain legal method of test
ing any one of tbe questions involved in the letter
ol the law officer of the Commonwealth, or which
tie may desire to raise under this Act of Assem
bly, and we cannot but express our surprise that
the public press should nave been nrtde the
vehicle of attack upon the corporation and individuals
connected with it, instead of resort being had to the
courts of Justice. We are further of opinion that the
character ot some of the articles which have ap
peared in print are essentially libellous.
Our advice is that tbe Corporation and Its officers go
on under the act, and use all such legal remedies tor
the maintenance, defense, and protection of their
rights "as may from time to time fipem exned en '-,
Very respectfully, SAMUEL C. FERKIXs,
GEORGE W. RIDDLE.

Arttmui Ward A Reminiscence.
A writer in the Sunday Times, in a notice of
the late Charles V. ISrowne, gives the first
letter of "Artemus Ward." When it appeared
in the columns of the Cleveland l'lalmlealer, it
was generally taken in earnest by readers, and
"A. Ward" was looked upon for some time as
a veritable showman:
"To the Editor of the Maindvaler:
"Bir: I'm moving alonn slowly along down
tords your place. I want you to write me a
letter, sayin bow's tbe show bizuess in your
place. My show at present consists of three
moral bears, a kangaroo, amoozin Utile rascal
'twould make you larf to death to see ttie
little cuss jump up and squeal wacks fingers
of G. Washington. General Taylor. John Uuu-
jan, Dr. Klcid, and Dr. Webster In the act of
killing Dr. Parkman, besides several miscella
neous moral works, stattoots of celebrated
plruts and murderers, etc., ekalled by few and
excluded by none. Now. Mr. Kill tor. kcmu.Ii
off a few lines sayln bowls the showbizn8S
down to your place. 1 Bhall have my handbills
done ai your otiice, depend upon it. I want
you should get my handbills up lu flaminn
tyle.
"Also get up a tremendous excitement In
yur paper 'bout my unparulled show. We must
work on their feels come the moral on them
strong. If it's a tempeiauce community tell
'em I signed tbe pledge 111 teen
Iseborn. But on the contrary. If your people
take their tods, Bay that Mr . Ward la
a teller as ever we met full of conviviality and
the life and soul of the soshul llored. Take
don't you ? If you say anything 'bout my show'
say that my suaixlls as harmless asa new-born
babe. What a interesting study it is to see a
zoological animal like a snalx under perfect
subjection.! My Kangaroo is the most lurtable
nine cukb x ever saw an lor nitecn cents. I
am anxyus to suewer your lnflooeuce. I reoeet
in regard to them handbills, that I shall get
flliem struck off uo to your priutln oilis Mv
rrlitlcal sentiments agree with you exactly.
kDOW they do, becaus I never saw a man

The Fkeemasonb of Francb The French
Freemasons are about to hold an international
festival. The (irand Orient of France will
celebrate the summer solstice by a feativaland
a banquet, which will take place on the 15th
of June. At this meeting the presidents or
delegates of all the lodges will be assembled.
and doubtless the Universal Exhibition will
attract a great number of Freemasons from
every quarter of the globe. The Grand Orient,
in this exceptional circumstance, thought it a
eood oDDortunity to unite the links which
lind the scattered members of the Masonic

lodges and lodges to loin
in the characteristic festival which will be held
on the 15th of June.
Indulgences. The Enelish papers repor
that Archbishop Manninir has obtained of the
Pope an indulgence of one year to all who shall
devoutly recite the Gloria Patria and Ave
Maria, with the intention of obtaining from
Clod the perfect "conversion" of the Knglish
nation to obedience ot tne faith and recocinlia-
tion to the chair ol bt. I'eter.
