"Pulpit Pungencies" is the name of the
smart sayings of an anonymous preacher.
It is difficult know whiple to admire
most, the airy flippancy of many of these
pet pungenciee, which are classified, paged,
- numbered, indexed, and marginally dated
in the most elaborate manner, or the charm
ing complacency with which, their author
.-gives them to the , anonymously,
but with the words appended to each oriti,
-sisal "Morning Sermon, such a date,"
and "Evening Lecture, such a "date." The
volume smacks strongly of Mr. Beecher,
who is probably its author. Whether , this
-surmise is correct or not, the reverend gen
tleman, whoever he be, clearly considers
it unnecessary to proclaim, his — name, on
account of the impossibility of their being
two such Pulpit Pun-gents on this conti
nent. In a buSiness point of view, as well
-as on the question of modesty, he has made
a mistake. If there is one thing in 'this
world that men will not take blindfold, it
is the utterance of the pulpit, whether it be
practical preaching, or pretentious "pun
qenclea." The volume is from the press of
•Carletcm„ N. Y., and is for sale by Ash
_mead cit Evans.

"The Dove in the Eagle's Nest" Is the title
of Miss Yonge's new story, just published
by D. Appleton & Co., New York. The
scene is laid in the neighborhood of Ulm,
and in, the latterend o/ the fifteenthcentury,
while Frederick 111 still reigned, and when
„Austria presented the aspect of prosperity
and advancing civilization in the free impe
rial towns, blended with the'savag,ewildness
and lawlessness which marked the inde
pendent lives of the free barons, the Frei
herren, many of whom still refused t4e
idea of allegiance to Kaiser or Emperor
Miss Yonge has maintained the unity of
her story with rare success, and has given
us a picture of the period of which she
treats, as true to history as it is to human
nature. Her characters and scenes are all
most faithfully and delicately drawn and
without much effort in the way of plot or
mystery, shs has presented us with a book
which few will lay down unfinished. It is

Err
he Emerald" is the name of the first of
a series of volumes to be called the "Gem
Series," published by John L. Shorey, Bos
ton. It is a wall-chosen collection of Tales,
Poems and Essays, from the fugitive litera
ture of the present century, edited by Mr.
Epes Sargent. It includes original transla
tions of French and German stories which
will be quite new to American readers.
Amongst other features of "Ihe Emerald"
are "Praed's Lyrical Charades," with an
swers. The editor gives "Good-night" as
the answer to the famous charade beginning
"Sir Hilary charged at Agincourt," which
is certainly far inferior to the solution,
"Rest-rain," first given a by writer in the
BULLETIN many years ago. He also gives
the 37th Charade as having no answer, al
though "Novice" is the palpable solution.
The selection of stories is very good and the
whole volume will form a very pleasant
traveling companion for the summer tour

In Montreal, the othek a Fenian
named John Ledene, who had been caught
in Canada, was arraigned in court oh a
charge of being a spy, What followed is
told by the Gazette:
The. Court—What is your age?
Prisoner—Forty, sir.
Court—What countryman are you?
Prisoner—l was born in Iroland.
Court—What part?
Prisoner—County Clare, sir.
Court—Where there?
Prisoner—The town of Tulloa.
Court—Talloa; you appear to b_ L ..,an of
education; how do yon spell that L. ,_.e?
Prisoner—T-u-1-1-o-y.
Court and a number of voices; that can't
be it.
Prisoner (scratching his head): T-o-1-1-o-r.
Court—That will do.
A spectator then suggested the proper
spelling.
Court—Where did you yet your educa
tion ?
Prisoner- -In Ireland, sir, I once went to
three schoois, and I went to nine schools in
anothe' place subsequently. [Great laugh
ter.]
Court--", , That is your religion?
Prisoner—(Thinking)— Well, a Baptist,
air. amid cries in court, "Yon don't - look
like it."
uourt producing a Roman Catholic ro
sary and also a copy of a Fenian newspaper
taken from the prisoner on his arrest—You
say you are , a Baptist, how do you account
for these ?
Prisoner—O—yea—well—l meant a Bap
tist-Catholic. I am a kind of Presbyteilan,
or all - kinds in fact; I don't go to one in par
ticular,and don't much know the difference.
[Great Laughter.]
~,;Court—Are you a married man? t
Prisoner—BO; I am a man for myself.
Court-You say you came from the United
States; what part?
Prisoner—Massachn.setts, sir.
Court—What brought you here?
Prisoner (stammering)—l came to get
work; I was sent by some—
Court--Well, go - on. You were sent by
whom? You may as welt tell all ; at least,
give a clear statement of your antecedents,
and it will be better for you.
Prisoner—Well, I'll tell the truth. I work
at a garden, dig potatoes or anything.
Court—That's not the anar, - ,r - sr. Who sent
you here?
Prisoner—Some gentlemen, sir.
Court—What did they tell you to do?
Prisoner (disooncerted)—They told me to
—well , to fret a living the bast way I could.
[Laughter.] , .
Court—Do you know General Sweeny ?-
Prisoner—Well, yes) Mr. McSweeny—yes.
- Court—Did the Pentane in Massachusetts
send you here?
Prisoner—Well, I can't say but they did.
To tell the truth, they took me and said I
must go to Canada.
Court—And do what ?
Prisoner—They said I was to look round ,
and—and they would be after me.
Further colloquy of this sort continued,
the Court being unable to elicit any direct
evidence to implicate the prisoner, when he
was finally committed for two months as a
vagrant and removed to be brought upfrom
time to time as evidence might offer, amid
the Jeers and execrations of the spectators
who were present in large numbers.

A renlA4 Ernmination.
The Artists and the Pennsylvania Acad
. emy of Fine Arts.
For the Piffled& Evening Bulletin.]
I deem it not inappropriate at this time to
give the public an insight into the inner
circles and motor power of the artists of this
city among themselves, and their relation to
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
The publiti is being misled .by such arti
cles as have made their appearance in the
Philadelpbia newspapers from time to time
during this last spring's exhibition, with
the last ebullition of "An Artist," who
really pretends to know something of, what
he speaks. -
It will be no disadvantage to Art for those
interested to learn in what relation the ar
tists stand to the Academy of the Fine Arts,
their power and the extent of their control
in that institution, and the use which they
make of their power and privileges.
In the By-Laws, regulating the govern
ment of the institution, we -rind that from
the body of artists of Philadelphia, is chosen
a number, not exceeding forty, babe "Mao
elates of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts," from among these a number are
chosen to be "Pennsylvania Academicians,"
to which are elected annually two new
members. ' "A Council of Academicians,"
consisting of seven, are chosen every
year from this "bcdv" by themselves, three
of which serve on the Committee of In
struction. the other four on the Committee
of Exhibition, in conjunction with corre
sponding committees of Directors. By the
election of two new memoers annually to
he "Body of Academicians" from the as
sociates, and the yearly election of the
"Council" from the "Body of Academi
cians," the committees are constantly being,
changed, so that all the artists can serve in
their turn. The business of the Commit
tee on Instruction in reference to the study
from "living models," is to supply the
model for the students, the best that can be
found, as near perfect in symmetry of pro
portion, muscular development and grace
ful movements, to put in position saidmodel
for the students, to be present during the
evening and have a general supervision.
This system of auxiliaries was established
to give the control of the schools into the
bands of the artists, who estimate them
selves to be the only persons capable of con
ducting all matters relative to art. But
how is it attended to? Just like the action
of "An Artist," whose expression appeared
in the columns of the EVENING Bunt...wrist a
few days ago. Someof the committee would
probably make their appearance at the
"class" for a few minutes once in a whole
term, while others have not been seen there
by students for •years, and their greatest
ambition appears to be to see who can excel
in this neglect. An obligation which
they are morally bound to shoulder, is
passed by unnoticed,. and in Borne
instances publicly ridiculed. What
interest is it to the Directors of the institu
tion to perform that which the artists, in
making the demand to have control of the
schools, have obligated themselves to do?
The directors supply the room,
(though not
good, yet the best the present building sf
forth-J) and whatever kind of models are
asked for; in short they bv_rall expenses in
cident to a free school. Do the artists tote
advantage of this opportunity? No. It is
lamentably neglected. There would be no
models found if left to the committee to do;
said model would geidola 1:11::EAI if stu
dents awaited the appearance of the com
mitteeof artists. If' ft Wail not for those
- fluffy looking yoUng men that flanked
the- venerable gentleman in -shirtsleeves,"
as "An Artist" terms ;hem, all interest in
the education of the rising generation of ar
tists would have died out in this city, as
there are no other schools in Philadelphia.
They are in earnest and_appreciate the
opportunity as a privilege. They find the
models and pose them, attend the class re
gularly, without respect to weather or the
latest theatrical excitement; they are bent
upon their own advancement, and if the
opportunities are not comparable with those
of European cities, such as do exist are ad
vantageously used and appreciated by these
few. The opportunities a few years ago
were no better than they are now; yet they
developed Rothermel, Schussele, Weber,
Darley, Stephens, Schtmllze, Mason, Lamb
din, Waugh, and a host of others. tae the
modus operandi for making artists changed,
that all the Art schools should be deserted?
I will venture to say that the artists here
know more about the requisites of theatri
cal artists and the theatrical fraternity, than
of their own. Why the schools should be
deserted I can find no reasonable cause be
yond what always existed, namely, an in
different room; this objection was no serious
obstacle to artists who used to study; then
why should it be now?
The "Academicians" meet annually, and
select from among their number (by ballot'
those they wish to act on the Committees at
Instruction and Exhibition. Those selected
have invariably accepted the trust, and al
most as invariably have neglected their
duty, especially the. Committee on
Instruction. Now why do • these men
accept this trust if they don't mean to per
form its obligations ? Why not decline to
serve at once and withdraw? They act as if
there was no school, no students, nor any
necessity-for them. They acceptthe position,
stay away, and grumble that there is no in
terest manifested by the Directors, and for
their part they'll have none either; so the
schools are lett todwindle and decay. Whose
fault is it? Let reason answer. Are the
Directors who have established the schools
and extended a general invitation to artists,
to supplicate and beseech them to attend to
that which ought to so dearly interest them?
Must they parade a great show every year
to produce an excitement before the artists
can'take an interestin then:aura prosperity
of even •their own profession? They are
foolish who blindly close their eyes to op
portunities that are present, but stand aloof
awaiting the approach of some future
imaginative one. They that neglect the
present never see the , beauties of the future;
• they gradually drift out of the "tide which
if taken at the flood would lead to fortune"
and settle in the eddy of self.
In the preparation of the annual spring
exhibitions the artists have the same control,
and, excepting at this last exhibition, have
participated ,as little ,In their preparation,
as the CoMmittee onlnstruction have in the
schools. The great majority of artists as
suMe that they alone ought to have complete
:control • of itsvarrangementcand this last '
spring : , in deference to this wish, I presume,
the Director's withdrew, leaving everything
to their arrangement; ,and the result was
that there never was more dissatisfaation
and animosity manifested by / the
artists at any" previous ' exhibition.
Yet, be just to the Hanging
Committee, the galleries never looked bet
ter as a whole, and the general effect was
pleasing. But;the great mistake they . made
was in looking out for „their own pictures
first, and their - friends, next. Now; Fas
eunae, that to merit the approbation of the
OUR. WHOLE COVNTRY
Public, our friends or enemies, whomsoever
we pretend to serve, we must sacrifice our
selves and our interests for the good of
others; and I will further say that the Di
rectors committed a great , blunder when
they withdrew and left the disposition -of
the pictures -entirely in the control of the
artists, for it is through them that we expect
justice done. They must act as moderators
for a clique'of Jealous people. They have
no personal feelings 'or ambition to gratify,
and are the proper ones to mediate and reg
ulate all differences that may arise from
professional jealousy.
Some artists refused tosend pictures, be
cause the Academy was rented to a picture
trader to exhibit prior to his sale by auction;
others, because in the Academy there is lit
tle or no chance for selling; others, to teach
the Directors a lesson, as they say.
But this is the tha The
loaning of the Gallery rub
with k i ts established
character to facilitate the sale there by auc
tion of a picture trader, and the refasal of
an application made Id , the Artists' rand
Society to sell by auction. in the same place
pictures by/Philadelphia artists. Such ir
regularities cannot be reconciled, and the
artists feel it. To establish exhibitions to
improve the public taste in art seems to be
a motive entirely obsolete with some artists.
Sell, sell, sell, is ever their song, whether it
is a merit to have purchased a daubed can
vass- whether it is compensation for time
well spent, or simply means to visit the
next opera—both considerations are equally
urgent; they insist upon credit whether it is
due or not.
Butwhy so dissatisfied with ircm
stances? w
Have we reaped the fall v alu e of
them that we should clamor for a change?
Have we abstracted all the good that exists
from the Academy's schools, its exhibitions
or its art material? Have we really arrived
at the station where, in the developing of a
new event, or the ushering in of new cir
cumstances, we will be able to surmount the
car of Progression and be winged to the
summit in triumpL ? I don't think so.
Nature treats liberal men with liberality
from her stores; we bury our usefulness be
neath the passions of conceit, self-will and
aggrandizement. This is a truth which,
though unpleasant, none can doubt. Let
us drop even one-half of our egotism, we
will then be not only free but united.
A great number of artists care more for
the pleasures of a beer saloon than they do
of 'their studios, and taffeta I have noticed
that before half the evening was spent, the
classes at the Academy would be broken
up from just that cause, and the opportu
nity for studying was neglected. Now, who
is to be - censured? Not the Academy's Di
rectors, nor the rebellion, as "An Artist"
insinuatingly remarks, no! Nottting but
the artists themselves. If the present Di
rectors don't manage affairs right, and we
are able to prove it publicly, then put them
out; they zserve but for one year. At an
annual election our grievances can be
righted. To the ballot box then we must
appeal, if justice is not done. But it is ab
surd to affect contempt for the Academy.
It yet wields the power, and will
for some time. The In stitution is
good enough, and has centered around it the
respect of the people. The artists will have
years of toil, and unforseen difficulties will
obstruct the advent of their new Academy
to that position of respect which this one
already possesses. Why throw away such
an opportunity? Why not seize upon its
position of respect, and turn ft to our ad van
tage?since it was for us, as artists particu
larly,.and the public ie general, that the in
stitution was founded. We have the right
to demand a bearing before the stockholders,
and it is not likely they will turn a deaf ear
to whom they are obligated.
We are the producers, and can withdraw
the major part of the Academy's support
away from it, and let the present directors
and stockholders take a timely hint, lest it
may be done. But that would be crippling
to both alike—the Academy and the artists ;
it would be rebellious to common sense, and
to principle; and the result would be two
interior and antagonistic organizations. To
stand a unit—artists, amateurs, connois
seurs, and all of art's votaries, would be un
doubted success; and with a little sacrifice
and some es ertion, there could be made oat
of the material now wasting for want of pro
per direction such an enterprise as the Fine
Arts of America never before produced—
something of which, as State and city, we
might be proud.
We want the proper leaders; there are no
public-spirited men among the artists to
lead them, as an independent body, to suc
cess. Nor have they a principle to unite
them; each one is for himself—lost toorgan
ized triumph. There are two sickly organ
izations of artists now, and almost as many
cliques as individuals composing them, viz :
The Philadelphia Sketch Club, and the
Artists' Fund Society. The 'elder and more
superior artists belong to the Artists' Fund;
the junior artists and students compose. the
Sketch Club. When the latter entered upon
an art enterprise last winter, it received
from the active members of the Artists'
Fund Society (by way of encouragement),
the cold shoulder, well seasoned with con
tempt and ridic ule, and an expressed dee
termination to break the enterprise down.
On the other band, when the Artists' Fend
Society -gave a reception last March, at the
Academy of the Fine Arts, the members of
the Sketc.h Club did not see the advantage
of supporting an open and avowed enemy.
I wonder if by means like this, we will
ever reach unity,
or ever gain as a body, the
respect of the public. It is proposed by some
artists to run .the Academy out of existence,
and build up one to be entirely under the
administration of artists. The experience
of professional jealousy developed in last
winter's experiment, will well demonstrate
how capable they are to manage successfully
an institution of that kind.
Whatie wanted now, to unite these dis
cordant elements, is an energetic and spin
ited leader one devoted to the Arts, in the
Directorship of the Academy. Stich a mind
has been suggested by the present • Presi—
dent of the Academy, Caleb Cope, Esq., to
succeed him in the chair, (with the stock
holders' permission,) and he is James L.
Claglio.rn. Upon him we all can unite as
being, after Mr. Cope, the fittest man for the
position. His three years' visit in Europe
will - eminently adapt - him-for -the charge.
Under his administration we , shall have a
revival of the arts in the development of a
new enterprise. A new Academy with com
plete Academic schools:Will succeed his as
sumption of that trust, and when we ones
have there, the people will be infused with
a new spirit, the artists by, attrition will
have some of the rough corners knocked oft;
and they will see , that others beside them
have some understanding in . Art, and ap
preciatiap of -what is just. They will he
better prepared for the advent of a new eat
than they are now. When Artists and Art'
appreciated will unite in establishing a
great "Head Centre," in the principle ave
nue of thee city, native art will then re
ceive such an impetus; that in a very few
years the foreign trash will be crowded out,
and no respectable auctioneer will disgrace
hie city joy *air exposition; and ne citizen
will risk his reputation of loyalty in the
purchase of such pictures as have been sold
lately at auction. But it will be eighteen
months yet before Mr. Claghorn will return
to:his native city, and in the meantime why
not facilitate a project which is inevitable,
and begin now to lay the fonndation for a
new Academy of the Fine Arts.
HORRIBLE IiIIRDER lAT YORIECOLNIY

three miles from:Lewiaberry, York county,
resulting'n the murder of .three persons.

at the place indicated above and whose
family consisted of himself; his wife and
a grand-daughter, of about fourteen years
of age. It was supposed Mr. Squibbs had
considerable money „in his possession,
and it seems that some fiend in human
shape - determined, to secure this filthy
lucre, even at the sacrifice of several
lives. On Sunday night the monster vis
ited the house of Mr. Squibb, and there
murdered the whole family. The terrible
affair was not discovered until yesterday
morning, when the neighbors found Mr. S.
lying on the porch of his house, his body
bearing the marks of no less than fourteen
cuts that had been made thereon with a
knife in the hands of the murderer. The
old man's life was not extinct, but he was
insensible, and lived only until last even
ing. Inside of the house was the form of
Mrs. Squibb, horribly beaten and cut. She,
too, was senseless, and there is not the least
.hope entertained of her recovery, while it
is highly probable that the vital spark has
fled ere this reaches the eye of the read
er. Near by lay the body of the grand
daughter, cold in death. It was also stabbed,
beaten and bruised. From the fact that
all the victims were found divested of their
shoes, it is believed the murder was com
mitted when they were preparing to retire,
which, according to their custom, must
have been at an early hoar in the evening.
Upon a search of the premises being made
yesterday, about ssa) in money was found,
which the murderer failed to lay his hands
upon, but a married daughter who lives - in
the vicinity, states that it was supposed Mr.
Squibb had $7OO or $BOO in his possession,
and it is probable that the robber obtained
e 350 or s4so—a small recompense for his
guilt as an assassin. It is not known who
committed the crime; but he will yet be
brought to justice, as "murder will out."
The funeral of the grand-daughter took
place at ten o'clock to-day and was attended
by a vast concourse of citizens of the neigh
borhood, among whom the most intense ex
citement prevails in consequence of the
brutal murder that has Just been perpe
trated in their midst.
Miss Caroline E. Squibb. a daughter of
the murdered man, recently resided with
Mrs. Streeter, No. 381 F street, Washington
city,and despatches have been sent to notify
her of the murder, but the operator reports
that she has removed and cannot be found.
In order that her whereabouts may be dis
covered our Washington exchanges are res.
peetfully requested to publish this notice.
Expulsion of Rev. W. M. Ferguson from
0. N. Presbyterian Assembly.
The following is the letter to the Colum
bus (Ohio) Statesman, for writing which,
Rev. Mr. Ferguson was expelled from the
General Assembly of the Old School Pres
byterian Assembly, lately in session in St.
Louis:
The debate in the Assembly ran higher
to-day, or rather lower, than ever. It was
reservedlor Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, to cap
the climax of vulgarity and demagoguism.
He certainly outdid himself in low allusions,
false assumptions, bitter invective, personat
abuse, and in every other mean thing that
could characteriie an orator who appeared
to be at the same time both a fool and a
fiend!
I grant this is strong language, but not a
whit more so than the truth will warrant.
His manner was monstrous! A dancing
monkey's motions were graceful to it. In
deed it was awful! Sublimely ridiculous
His twiatings and bodily contortions, could
they have been photographed, would have
furnished comic almanac makers with an
almost limitless number of grotesque sam
ples for all time to come. Besides his dis
gsting egotism—his self-righteous lada
tiouns--his canting use of Scriptare-- u his
boasting, dirty insinuations—in a word, his
scurrility and blackguardism—exceeded
anythingof the kind it was ever my painful
misfortune to hear.
The fact Italie disgraced himself—his Pres
bytery—his Church—this Assembly and re
ligion generally by his long, vile, illogical
and most wickedly impassioned harangue.
It brought a tinge of shame on the cheek of
his best friends. Some who had no personal
acquaintance with him thought he had a
"Highland gill" in his cheek. But it is de
clared that he is a radical temperance man.
This most unfortunate exhibition of vul
garity and malignity was called forth by a
resolution of Dr. Boardman, on yesterday,
on the unwarranted and wicked course
being punmed by the majority of the
Assembly in regard to Gov. Wickliffe, Tr.,
Stewart Robinson and Dr. Wilson, Dele
gates from the Presbytery of Louisville, be
cause said Presbytery did publish to the
world a strong statement on the ille
gal procedure of the General Assembly of
last year in Pittsburgh. Mr. G. boldly
affirmed that "a word spoken against the
Assembly was treason, and the speaker a
traitor;" that "Boardman was a traitor, and
his speech yesterday treason, and till he
washed his hands of the blood of this hellish
crime, he (Mr. G.) would never sit down
with him at the Lord's table." These were
hie words. His speech, as published in the
Democrat, may be bad enough; but as that
sheet is exceedingly radical, and the only
one that pretends to give verbatim reports
phonographically taken, and as Mr. G.'s
friends were shocked at- the outlandish in
decencies and fallacies of thiS unfortunate
affair, some of the more vulgar and blasphe
mous parts may be omitted.
But I weary you. Mr. Galloway surely
forgot himself to-day. He has disgraced
himself forever in the estimation not only
of Christian gentlemen, but in the opinion
of the ungodly world. Why the did-so no
one can tell. It was unprovoked and un
expected. He was not called to order by
either member or Moderator, as the latter
requested the Assembly to permit "great
latitude" of discussion. It was as good as a
monkey show to the populace—some of
them hissed, others cheered! -
Thus we ga-igo to pieces as a Church of
- Christ. It is alarming to witness how rap
-
'idly and superficially the legitimate bust
nese of the Assembly is passed over, and
how eager many are to "take upthe unfin
ished business" relating to the Louisville
Presbytery, &c. It is painfulto say it, but
many think and say that this Assembly
has done fax mep) against' the Interest pf
ANOTHER ARTLsr.
A despatch from Washington dated yea
.
terday says:
The reports in circulation that President
Johnson gave the Fenian leaders assurance
that they should not be interfered 'with in
their projected Canadian - raid are not true.
The government never promised, diretitly
or indirectly, to even wink at any violation
of our laws. 'Colonel William R. Roberts,
the Fenian President,received a larpe num
ber of visitors to-day, among whom were
Gen. Banks and other prominent politi
cians.
James Stephens' has succeeded in tho
roughly reconstructing the Fenian organi
zation in this city. The meeting at Odd
Fellows' Hall this evening was attended by
several hundred Centres and Members of
Circles. Nfx. Stephens' spoke at great length,
and was listened to with the deepest atten
tion. He concluded by repudiating all con
nection, directly or indirectly, with Roberts,
Sweeny, or the Senate, and denounced all
men who would endeavor to use the Irish
people on this continent for any other pur
pose than the liberation of Ireland; The
audience afterwards formed in procession,
and escorted the C. 0. I. R. to the Metropoli
tan Hotel, where he was serenaded shortly
before midnight.
Colonel Felix O'Byrne who arrvied
here yesterday with resolutions on the Fe
nian question, has been arrested on a charge
of obtaining money under - false 13retences.
He was examined this morning, before Mr.
Barnacle, when some amusing scenes took
place. The case stands adjourned till ten.
o'clock to-morrow. -

Mn. Boolll's FAREWELL BENEFIT.—Mr.

engagement in this - city lo:night. He has
had triumphant Emcees 9
_Nei

most beyond that of any actor of this gene
ration, and in this city_he has been favored
to an extent which is truly marvellous.
Each night of his engagement the Walnut t`
has been full of people, and on some occur
sions so crowded as to be really uncomfort- -
able. A score of presentations of "Hamlet" I
did not weaken the popular deiire to see
Mr. Booth in the character of the melancholy
Prince of Denmark, and last evening the
theatre was crowded on the occasion of his
final presentation of the piece, with the
splendid scenery and appointments which:
have aided its prosperity at the Walnut.
This evening Mr. Booth gives us his best
shah sperean comic part—that of the hero
of "The Taming of the Shrew," together
with "Ruy Bias." There is no question
but that there will be a magnificent audience
to celebrate the fifty-first and last night of
Mr. Booth's engagement.
