NEW PUBLICATIONS.
"Footlight Flashes" is the title of an auto
biographical work by William Davidge,the
well-known comedian, published by the
American News Company, New York, and
for sale by T. B. Peterson & Brothers:- - The
book is not one of which, the author'hould.
'be proud. He has been an actor of wide
experience in England and America, and if
be chose to come before the public as a
writer, he should not only have • told • the
public fresh facts in a sparkling way, but
be should have employed respectable gram
mar and a style as far removed` from the
bombastic and the sophomoricalaspossible.
Further, when he descended to personal
anecdotes he should have chosen such sto-
ries as would not make out the members of
the dramatic profession swindlers, drunk
ards,:paupers, and "Jeremy Diddlers," and
Then endeavor to defend the votaries
of the, art by stale didactic harangues
which have been worn out by
121 ce esant repetition. Still fur ther,he should
not have attempted to imitate Charles Dick
ens on his own peculiar ground, when that
imitation is so glaring as to be ludicrous.
We have read the work carefully and speak
"by the card" when we thus criticise it, and
it may he added that we are cognizant of
various blunders made by the author which
he might easily have avoided. Mr. Davidge
is a comedian of ability, and we greatly en
joyed his famous personation of Bottom,the
weaver,in "Midsummer Night's Dream" at
the Broadway Theatre, New York, in 1854,
when. Mr. Burton was playing the same
character at his thaatre in Chambers street;
but we think he should not attempt to write
another book until he is more proficient in
Lindley Murray, including especially the
proper use of moods and tenses, and
the value of periods, colons, semi-colons
and commas. The best thing in the book is
probably his account of an attempt to give
a "Dickens' Reading" ,in Glasgow,Scotland,
and we quote it to show thaVamid all his
bad taste, nonsense and bombast, there is
here and there a gleam of pleasantry worthy
of the reputation of so , well-known a come
dian. He says:
It was a fine starlight evening in the
month of April, when, after due process of
advertising, posting, and all the accessories
of diurnal attention, I presented myself
white-gloved and ehokered, at the Music
Hall, to perpetrate my "Evening with
Charles Dickens." The door keepers.duly
arrived with cheeks and a heavy amount of
specie for change, posted themselves in
orderly array, waiting the rush of the ex
pectant multitude. The hall, a most
beautiful one, was brilliantly illuminated,
and two rows of extra'chairs placed in con
venient proximity to the rostrum. At the
specified time the doors were thrown open
with the customary bang, and from the
iiartially opened door of the retiring room,
I listened impatiently for the approach of
my patrons. A painful propriety pervaded
the passage way, relieved at brief intervals
by one of the attendants, who, with his
finger nails, extemporised a medley com
posed of the popular airs of his native land,
upon the capacious tin box provided by the
establishment for the receipt of tickets.
At length the delicate step of one of the
fair sex, accpmpanied by the more amply
provided tread of one of the opposite gen
der, assailed my ears. The audiences are
very fashionable,mused I, and come late here;
the rustling of silk approached nearer, and
stopped in its progress towards the money
taker. I listened, then peeped out. A lady
and gentleman were surveying a formida
'ble bill of fare hanging in the hall. They
perused it with evident care and circum
spection. I felt. flattered, for it was replete
with what I considered good jokea,concocted
after tortuous offences against the rules of
the language, and having got to the end of
it—turned round—and—walked out!'
This reckless act of deceit inflicted on the
doorkeeper opened the flood-gates of his
commiseration for the, degeneracy of his
race,and induced him to request his, brother
in solitude to join issue with him in a copi
ous pinch of snuff, when the following col
loquy began:
"What's o'clock?" said one,
"Ten minutes to eight!" was the reply,
consulting his time-keeper for the auth
ority.
"When does he begin?" said the first.
"Why, at eight precisely, he says," said
the second, "and he was very particular
this morning in requesting me to be here at
seven, that he might have his audience well
and comfortably seated before he began, be
cause he didn't like to be disturbed."
"Well, Sandy," quaintly replied the first,
"it strikes me that he won't have much rea
son to complain of interruption to-night."
"Perhaps it might be as well to defer it
for a week."
"Aye," said his companion, "or till Christ
mas or New Year's next; as the publib, seem
to have a previous engagement which they
are not disposed to break."
My mind began to drift into that pleasing
condition I should imagine agentleman suf
fers, who is within the meshes of legal con
straint, and anxiously waiting the return of
the messenger who has been dispatched for
his intimate personal aeqaintanceto become
security , for his next appearance, when re
quired. •
Threeminutes taeight, and the idea began
to suggest itself that it was more than prob
able the projected entertainment mightturn
- out a failure.
The money takers returned to the. charge
with that delightful badinage which so
pleasantly diversify the monotony of face
tious leisure, when it can can be indulged in
at the expenee of another party than those
who comprise the company. The style of
these mirthful sallies may be judged by the
following:
"Well, look here," said one, "what was
all this to be about, Sandy, if it ever _does
come off ?"
"I expect it's a kind of definition - of the
unknown tongue, which language, it is evi
dent, nobody has any curiosity to learn; be
cause if they had, they would certainly have
come." ,
"Wonder where he banks his :money?"
- etc., etc.
These, and similar complimentary re-.
'marks , in relation to the:different aspect of
the hail a few nights previous, when the city
turned out in great numbers to listen to a
professor with a high sounding title, who
• let them into all the secrets of the heavenly
bodies, including the condition of the moon's
at certain seasons in its existence, to
which they listened with a reverence and
stolid assurance, that justified the conic
- lion that, they perfectly comprehended
eveiything he had"been so lucidly describ
.
Time'crept on, till at thirty minuted oast
the hour f should have comnaencecl,tbeing
somewhatdisgusted with the proceeding, I
considered it prudent to capittuate,and beat
a retreat.' The owner of the building syrn
,Palliised with my forlorn condition; and,
proposing an invitation to his domicile to
partake of the hospitality of a family supper,
I-saw the lights extinguished, took leave of
inyfacetiona r bat useless,door-keepers,soon
- fergot inY disappointment over the couviv
, dal hilarity of the well-appointed table, and
the following morning left Glasgow witlitio

• VENING BULLETIN`; PHILADELPHIA, ~,MONDAY JUNE 11,1866.
Another Shoehlug , Murder.
Upon the farm of Dr. Tiedeman, of this
city, situate near Gwynedd, along theline of
the Noith Pennsylvania Railroad, some
time ago was found the dead body or a Ger
man named Julius Worhele, evidently mur
dered. It now loCks as though justice had
at last claimed its victim, and Ahat the
murderer is discovered. • ' •
Worhele came from. Wurtembnrg to Phi
ladelphia in the year 1865. - He was young,
and of good character and presence—by
trade a bookbinder. Shortly after his ar
rival here he made the acquaintance of an
unknown man, and during last winter left
his last place of employment in Philadel
phia, in company with him. A short time
afterwards Worhele's dead body was found
as above described. An inquest held at the
time by William. Forman, Esq., justice of
the peace at Montgomery Square, clearly
established the fact that the deceased had
been murdered. His head was smashed in.
It was also proved that he was enticed to
said place, which was then unoccupied, and
left in the care of a man, who at that time
gave his name as Jacob-or Joseph Haddon,
- and who shortly afterwards disappeared
also.
During April last, W. L. Kiderlen, Esq.,
consul of Wurtemburg in this city, received
information from his goverrtment that a let
ter bad found its way directed to tbe rela
tives and guardian of , the said Worhele, at
Rosenfeld, the native place of the same, and
apparently written by Worhele, in which
letter the guardian was informed that Wor
hele was in distress and asked to be fur
nished money, the pretended Worhele in
forming the family that he at , that time re
sided in Reading, Pennsylvania, and re
questing that the money might be seat,
payable to a letter of exchange, the answer
o be directed, "Julius Worhele, care of
Reading P. 0." This letter was at once
declared by the relatives of Worhele to be a
. orgery.
Upon this information the Consul, Mr.
Eiderlen, sent adeooy letter directed "Ju
lius Worhele, care of Reading Post Office,"
enclosing a draft of one hundred florins,
payable at the Consulateof Wurtemburg at
Philadelphia, and requested the recipient
of the letter to have the signature acknow
ledged before a notary public.
On the lst of this month a German notary
public of Philadelphia, Julius Wolff, Esq..
acting representative of the consulate of
Wurtemburg at Philadelphia, received a
letter from the President of the First Na
tional Bank at Allentown, enclosing the
aforesaid decoy letter of Exchange and re
questing the consulate to pay said draft,
which had been signed and acknowledged
by the alleged Julius Worhele before a no
tary public at Allentown, to the order of
said bank. The president and the notary at
Allentown were of course unaware of the
circumstances of this case, and strictly
acted in good faith.
Upon receipt of this letter by Mr. Wolff,
the arrest of the pretended Julius Worhele
was caused forthwith by Justice Forman,
the justice of the peace aforesaid, and it
was now ascertained that the pretended
Julius Worhele was nobody else but the
identical Jacob or Joseph Haddon, with sev
eral other aliases, who, as above stated, had
been formerly employ e d at Dr. Tiedoman's
farm, and evidently . was the murderer of
.the real Julius Workele. The incentive ap
pears to have bean the possession of Wor
hele's patrimony in Germany, a sum that
will amount to some thousands of florins.
The accused, who is twenty-five years of
age, and a native of Baden. will be tried at
the next term of the Montgomery county
criminal court, of,
the charge of forgery
will also hang over him in the county of
Lehigh, Pennsylvania.
FIREMEN'S RECEPTION.—The Pentisyl;
vania Hose Company, which has been on a
visit to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, returned
to the city on Saturday evening, and met•

was fully carried out, and a splendid dis
play was made. The number of members
of each company on parade varied from 30
to 150, and there was no scarcity of music.
The various apparatus of the different com
panies were gayly decorated with flowers
or bunting. The carriage of the. Pennsyl
vania was literally loaded down with
flowers. The house of the company, on
Eighth street, near Green, where the parade
dismissed, was brilliantly illuminated, and
large flags, with the words "Welcome
Home" appended, were displayed at inter
vals along the square.
TWELFTH REGIMENT PENNA. RESERVES
—A meeting of officers and soldiers of this
regiment was held on Saturday evening, at
Collector Taggart's office, 419 Chestnut
street. It was resolved to participate in the
presentation ceremonies on the Fourth of
July, in a body, in citizens' dress, dark
clothing, with fatigue cap,-and badge, with
the number of regiment.

number about onS-half have returned.
