THE KKTl'KN OP THE POYK.
Only a waste of waters,
Only n tidelosH sea,
"Which is not life, which isi not death,
Hut death in life to mo.
Only tho years on-coming
Rolling their silent waves
Over tlio hvgone trouble,
Over life's liidden graves.
Only a drear out-looking
For a hope that is long delayed,
And a weariful prayer for patience,
And A wish that may not ho prayed.
Why am I ever watching ?
What can I ever see 1
Only a dove that is coming
From o far-off land to me.
Only a branch it is bringing,
"Which tells of a clearer day,
And bears me a promise of peace and life,
"When the waters have passed away.
r.tlitiiiml Iaan.
It may bo said that, on tho one hand, thero
was nothing in Kuan's birth or training to
prepare us for the development of his sur
prising powers. Imt, on tho other hand, ho
did not rely on these powers alone, and his
hucccss was as much owing to the most prin
ful and assiduous study as tohisnative genius.
His wife described him as "moping about for
hours, walking miles and miles alone with his
hands in his pockets, thinking intensely on
his characters. No one could get a word from
him. Ho studied and slaved beyond any actor
I ever knew." !efore acting tho part of "King
Lear," it is said that ho went through sceno
after scene before tho pier-glass from mid
night to noonday. Forthesameparthestudied
tho effects of madness iu constant visits to
JSt. Luke's and iU thlehem Hospital, and he
was always on tho watch for touches of na
ture, which ho afterwards reproduced with
great effect. Towards tho end of his life,
being with Rome friends at tho Castle Inn,
llichmond, he was asked when ho studied.
'I am studying now," ho replied, pointing to
n man on tho other side of tho room who was
far gone in liquor, but was trying to look a-
if ho was sober. "I wish some of my 'Cas
hios' were here. They might seo that instead
of rolling about in tho ridiculous way they do,
the great secret of delineating intoxication is
tho endeavor to stand straight when it is im
possible to do so." One of Kean's finest
effects as "Sir Giles Overreach" was taken
directly from nature. I To had onco trespassed
on a farmer's land with a companion, and tho
farmer, learning they were players, threatened
them with tho stocks. Koan's companion
challenged the farmer to light, fought,
and was worsted, on which, "in a
paroxysm of defeated wrath which convulsed
Lis whole frame and seemed all but to suffo
cate him, ho dragged open his shirt-collar and
tore it to ribbons. This incident was not lost
upon Kean, who subsequently reproduced it
in tho last scene of ,1 A'eto W'ty to I'd Old
DibU, when he appeared as 'Overreach' in
London; and no ono who saw him in that
character can ever forget tho appalling sensa
tions produced by his manner, as with faco
ivid, eyes distended, lips swollen and parted
tit tho corners, teeth set, and visage quiver
ing, he dragged open his shirt-collar and tore
it to ribbons." Such incessant observation
and study must have done far more to lit
Kean for his triumphant career than tho Eton
education which he is said to have received,
but about which many of his biographers aro
skeptical.
lie was tho natural son of a man who is al
ternately described as a tailor, an architect,
and a stage carpenter, aud of a woman who
was sometimes u strolling player aud some
times a hawker. Tho father had abandoned
tho mother before tho child's birth, and three
months after his birth tho child was deserted
in his turn. Ho was picked up in tho streets
by a poor couple, and was taken care of by
them till his mother reclaimed him in order
to train him for the stage. "When three years
old he figured as "Cupid" in a ballot at tho
Opera; he was afterwards w demon in tho
Drury Lane pantomime, and when Kemblo
brought out Jfucbiti at tho same theatre,
Keun, then aged six, appeared as ono of tho
goblin troupo in tho sceno of tho witches'
cauldron. On this occasion ho played tho
manager and tho rest of the goblins a trick
which "led to the abandonment of what Kem
blo is reported to have termed tho finest com
mentary on and illustration of Shakespeare
ever attempted on the stage.
Kean, being hampered by some irons which
had been applied to his limbs as a cure for
distortion, made a false step, tripped up his
neighbor, and sent the whole troupe sprawling.
One of the next events in Kean's boyhood is
his trial of a sea life. He ran away from
home, walked to Portsmouth, and shipped
himself as cabin-boy on a vessel bound to
Madeira. Of course ho was not long in dis
covering that ho had mado a change for tho
worse. To procure his freedom, he affected
complete deafness and lameness, keeping up
the deception so well that ho was sent to
hospital in Madeira, and thence back to Eng
land. We afterwards hoar of sundry other
pranks, of continual escapes from the uncle
with whom ho was staying, of his turning
head-over-heels and giving imitations of mon
keys and knife-grinders at taverns, and of his
being onco found tarred and feathered at a
public-house where ho was tumbling and sing
ing for halfpence. If this was not a worthy
preparation for an Etonian, it was still less in
character with the dignity of tho future tra
gedian. The beginning of Kean's dramatic career,
when people wondered who was "that little
man in the copes," waiting in tho hall at
Drury Lane, or when Mrs. Siddons, playing
with him at tho Belfast Theatre, asked, "Who
is that horrid little man ?" scarcely lead up to
the sudden success ho gained on his appear
ance as ' '"Shylock." lint from that time forward
he rose from glory to glory. In almost every
part he played ho worked a revolution. Tho
conservatives of tho drama objected to his
black wig in the part of "Shylock," to the
"quickness of familiar utterance" with which,
as "I'ichnrd III," ho pronounced sentence on
"Hastings," to the "light, gay, andcarolessair"
substituted for gloom and grimness in tho
representation of "Iago." Hut tho public was
with Kean in all these points, and, right
or wrong, they were applauded to tho
echo. We have already heard of his recep
tion as "Sir Giles Overreach." When ho
first acted "Shylock" to a thin house, the
actors in tho green-room wondered how such
a noise could bo made by so few people.
Tho nightly receipts of the theatre rose ho
rapidly that tho committeo of management
doubled Kean's salary, and gifts, praises, tri
butes flowed in to him from all quartors.
Among his finest hits must be ranked the atti
tude he assumed in "Kichard III," when tho
action of the play w as suspended iu order that
he might stand for a while drawing figures
on the sand and gazing into vacancy. Of his
performance of "Luke" in Massinger's City
MaUiim" it is recorded that an old lady, who
had intended leaving him a largo sum of
money, was so appalled by the cold-blooded
villuiny he displayed, that she transferred tho
Perhaps amidst all his triumphs tho most
gratifying recognition Kean met with was that
which he 'received from Garrick's widow.
Hhe declared at onco that Kean reminded her
of her husband, and when Kean dined with
her, she led him solemnly to a chair that had
been Garrick's favorite chair, saving to him,
"You are the only person I think worthy of
sitting in it." On Kean's complaining to
Mrs. Gavriek that tho critics often misappre
hended him, giving him credit whero he did
not deserve it, and passing over parts on
which ho had bestowed tho greatest care and
attention, tho old lady replied naively, "You
should write your own' criticism. David always
did." But when Kean came out in tho part
of "Abel Drugger," Mrs. Garrick made tier
self his severest censor. She wrote him tlio
following note: "Dear sir, yon can't play
'Abel Drugger.' Yours, etc., Eva Garrick.''
Kean replied more shortly still: "Dear
Madam, 1 know it. Yours, 'Edmund Kean."
Criticism from such a quarter ho took with
good grace, and tho play disappeared from
the bills after two more representations. But
it is interesting to contrast with this docility
Kean's proper pride and independence when
ho was bearded by uncultivated audiences.
At the Glasgow Theatre he quelled a disturb
ance by advancing to the footlights and ask
ing, with a contemptuous emphasis, "What
arc your commands, '' "''"" ' .' ' In Guern
sey he applied to the audience a line from his
part,
."riiinanncrcil flops, kT,iii1 ye wlicn I command
An apology was demanded, and Kean ex
claimed, "Apology! take it from this remark:
the only proof of intelligence you have yet
given is in tho proper application of tho
words I have just uttered." In like manner,
at the Coburg Theatre, being called after tho
fall of the curtain by an audience which had
not appreciated his acting, but thought itself
entitled to make him bow his acknowledg
ments, Kean said calmly, "Well, I have
played in every civilized country whero Eng
lish is the language of the people, but I never
acted to an audience of such ignorant, unmiti
gated brutes as you are."
And yet Kean was doomed to face much
bitter opposition at various periods of his
life. His early struggles wore light compared
with the intensity of that in which ho was in
volved by his unhappy intrigue with an alder
man's wife. This, and the troubles arisiug
out of it, embittered his closing years, anil
the curtain which had risen on want and hard
ship fell upon a more cruel sorrow.
A Chapter on l.oj lerio.
"Mle's a Lottery." Old horn.
The earliest lottery of which wo havo any
account was drawn at tho west door of St.
Fanl's Cathedral, London, on tho 11th of
January, l."i;! (11th year of Queen Eliza
beth's reign), and continued day and night,
till the Hh of May. It was styled:
"A proposal for a very rich lottery, general with
out any blimkcs coiitiiyniiiir a nute No of kooiI
priKes, iib well of rcdy amnio us of plate and inrr
cliaiullze having been valued and prised by tlio
Cuiuinutiilim-iit of the (jueencs most excellent
Majesties order, to the extent that such commodities
as may chance to arrive thereof, after the charges
borne may be converted towards the reparations of
the lliivciis and Strength of the realme, and towards
such other public good workes. The No of lot ts
shall be .ioo.ihkj and no more; imd every lott shall b.)
the BUiiinie of teimu shillings sterling only, aud no
more."
In I'tffi another lottery for "marvellous
rich and beautiful armor" was drawn iu Lon
don, and in 1(1 1! ono was organized iu tho
city of Beading for tho Council and Company
of Virginia, though to what Council this
alluded we cannot discover. In KiliO a lottery
w as permitted by Charles the First, tho profits
to bo used "for tho conveying of certain
springs of water into London and West
minster." This is tho first mention of such
schemes in tho Statute Book. Iu tho roigu
of Charles tho Second, plate lotteries were
common ostensibly to reward those who hail
been faithful during tho interregnum, but
really to swell the depleted treasury of tho
"mutton-eating king." These were tho origin
of endless schemes under the titles of 'Jloy.d
Oak," "Twelve-penny Catches," etc., and tho
forerunners of the gilt-schemes and rallies of
tho present day. In Ki'.i.'i a Fenny Lottery
was organized with the capital prize of XV) ):)
for a penny, and the following your saw "Tho
Lucky Adventure; or Fortunate Chanye," be
ing t'L'Ot") for a groat, or X':5no!) for a shilling.
In tho following century lotteries bocamo
more national iu character and gigintie in
proportions. On December 27, 1700, a par
liamentary lottery was fixed for 150,)()()
tickets at W each ticket. These tickets wero
so rapidly sold that by tho L'Hth of February
the sum of i.'l,r()(),()(it) was completed. From
this period lotteries were of frequent occur
rence, and the State used these means to pro
vide funds for war and general Government
expenditures, until in lSHi the last State Lot
tery in England was drawn on the 18th of
October.
In this country lotteries of all kinds and all
magnitudes have ever been favorites with our
speculative population, although dishonest
persons with bogus schemes have of late done
much to bring them into disrepute. A few of
the States, such as Kentucky, Alabama, aid
Louisiana, have them regularly incorporated
and superintended by commissioners, who
give bonds in heavy amounts for tho faithful
carrying out of tho scheme.

The st, Louis Demwrat a few days since pub
lished the following:
In yesterday's issue mention was made of the suit
of Jumvs Alurtuiigti uj-'alnst the city to recover
f'ift.Oou dumagcK for im. lining und cruelly treat
liim while a putlent at the city Hospital. The trwl
lasted all day yesterday, in Judge Knight's Court.
Murtuugh was put upon the stand, and made the fol
lowing extraordinary sutementH:
I have lived here two years lust March, and live
here now. In January, lotw, I was employed as a
qiiarryinun for Air. flutes. I win taken sick, aud
went to a house on Sixteenth, between Morgan and
Franklin avenue. Alter remaining there a short
time, Dr. O Keillv pave me a prescription, on tho
iiith 1 was sent by the Hoard of Health to the City
Hospital; went In the hospital wagon. They put mo
iu one of the wards, where i remained two hours,
anil then they put me In acell; it was a small roo.u
on the north side of the hull. The weather was very
cold. might lucre been out of my mind for a short
tune; was iu that condition until the 4th or . Mh of
February. They mcUed ino up iu the cell where It
was very cold ; 1 could see no lire anywhere ; doa t
think there wuHsiidicieiit clothing on the bed. They
took me out of the cell, aud put a straight jacket oil
me with sleeves that wero two or three inches too
short. They put me in a ward ami let me Hit on a
hard chair lor thn o days and nights. The jacket
was kept on me two months, until it was worn out.
ry. w,0"''1 1"11 11 "" I" the day time and take it
oil ut ri ght. In the ward I was tied hand and foot
to a beiihtead. I was too sick to nit up, aud tho
muse tied me fast with straps and cords; the marKS
are on my wrists yet. I was bound as If la a vice.
Don't know how long I was kept in that condition;
It was for months. I as conscious all tho time, and
no intention was paid to mu. Dr. Clark rume seve
ral times to see me, und asked mu how I was and I
told him I wanted to by released; ho paid no'atteu
tlon to my request.
While in the cell my feet were frozen; when I
came out I could not walk. Aty feet remained hi
that condition until the tllh of July. Dr. Clark used
to come around every day ; sometimes twice a day;
sometimes lie would not come at all. Dr. Hays was
the physician who attended to that ward. I admit
that I tore tho bed clothes. Dillon was the eluuf
nurse of tho Hospital. When I wan aide to move
around I was put to work. When I complained
Dr. llavs said 1 was not worked half enough. I
was detailed from the doctor's oiilce ui work.
One nurse was called Dr. Haseltlne; another Hare-
jvwV itoiw Uw WW aU carrj w'awr.
I wss compelled to work on Mis dummy that
carries grub to tho patients. My toes at tho
time were In a bud condition. The big too
of the left foot was entirely exposed to the
bone; no flesh on It, ami it was black; on tho
other toes there was proud flesh. When I com
plained they told me I was not worked half enough.
When I refused to work they sint me back to tuo
cell. They then took another notion and put m(. to
Rome other work, but I left the Institution. My toes
were very tender, but I could wear nhvs with
pain. I su tiered the most terrible pain from tho
straight-jacket, and I begged them to take It on me.
The jacket was squeezed on me ami laced up: tho
slec es were so tight that I could scarcely draw mv
breath. The Jacket was made of canvas, like that
used on vessels crossing the Atlantic
The witness here pulled oil" ono of his shoos
find showed his toeless foot to the Jury. He also
showed the marks of the cords on his ankles ntnl
wrists. The foot looked like Mie nndcr surface of a
bear's hind paw, with the claws cut oir.
I begged Dr. (. lark not to cut olf two of mv toes
that were getting well ; but one man seized hi' by
the head and another by the arm, and another g;ivo
me chloroform. I never knew of the lom of my toes
until next morning. Dr. Clark appeared excited,
and made great preparations: he was excited by tho
students standing around. The next morning ono
of the patients gave me a pan of warm water, ami
told me to put my feet In It. I refused, and he hit
me on the head with a club; his name was Hart-rout,
a nurse. I was horrltled at seeing the condition of
my tors. I was compelled to leave my bed nm l go
to work, lly toes were amputated twice. Dr. Dillon
cut them w ith his knife at the llrst Joint.
