OIIR CROW.
I ItOH BYRON.
©nr choir would scarcely be .excused
Even as a band of raw beginners;
All mercy now roust be refused
To such a set of croaking sinners.
If David, when his toils were ended, .
Had heard these blockheads siug before him,
To us his psalms hnd ne’er descended,
In furious mood he would have tore ’em.
Hie lackless Israelites, when taken
By certain cruel tyrauts' order,
Were asked to sing, by joy forsaken,
On Babylonian’s river's bolder.
Oh ! hnd they sung in notes like these,
Inspired by stratagem or rear,
They might have set their hearts at case,
The devil a soul had stayed to hear.
No grumbling bull or growling boar
Is uceded while our basso thrives;
No Screaming loon need wake the air
While our soprano’s throat survives. ,
He snarls and snorts and smifflcs through,
As though the notes had bit and stung him ;
She aims to hit the farthest pew,
And show the Voice they have got among em.
And so she drawls in barbarous time, f
Prolongs her shrieks and sounds appalling;
Each note a fraud, each yell a crime,
Each hymn a masß of hideous squalling.
Our alto, wheezy, crude and flat,
Explodes in wild, sepulchral tones;
Now emulates the midnight cat,
Now chills the soul with dismal groans.
Our other alto, bright and sweet.
Sings only when the notion takes her,
Or when her bean is in his seat,
Or when the sense of duty mSkcß her.
One tenor, with a spacious nose,
Fills that, and thinks his duty done,
No matter how the organ blows,
Nor how the frantic metres run.
Another rolls his milky eyes,
As though the roof gave inspiration;
Alas ! If heaven should hear his cries,
He’s doomed to Instant strangulation.
And then the being who presides
At all thiß whooping, frightful row,
The organ man whose form bestrides
This Babel, built the Lord knows how—
His sole endeavor seems to be
To test the bellows blower’s wind,
To break the heart of harmony,
With all hiß soul and strength combined.
And so he plucks the noisiest stops,
And bangs away with feet and muscle,
TUI when the game is up, he drops
Undone and beaten with the tussle.
And meanwhile we, the heirs of Zion,
The chosen ones—the meek and lowly—
Jtfoet listen as thougli Judah’s lion
Were making oil this roly-poly !
For me, I hate the cursed noise,
The usual psalms, the orgaft’s clatter:
J can’t discern angelic joys
In such a crash and crush of matter.
J long to pull the basso’s nose!
To teU those females what’s decorum;
1 ache to tread the tenor’s toes,
And flog the organ man before ’em.
UTERAEY AND AET ITEMS,
THE I'SESCH STAGE.
Bachel-IJie Greatest French Actress.
The era of the Second Empire has hitherto
sot been distinguished for the appearance of
new first-class dramatic talents, although the
works of the so-called new classical school
of dramatists and the authors of the modern
social dramas impose upon the actors by far
less arduous tasks than both the classical and
romantic tragedies did. The great Rachel,
the hot-blooded and almost demoniac per
former of the part of Roxana and the wild
songstress of the Marseillaise, belongs partly
to this era, but only as a phenomenon, fading
and departing alone as it had come. She
had no rivalß, no successors, she was a genius,
hut came too late. Genius will always j
triumph, but these triumphs may be fruitless j
if such a genius endeavors to resuscitate what I
is dead and buried. The emancipa- j
tion of the tragedy from the narrow '
and restrictive rules of the old classical j
school was the well-justified motto of the ;
new school of French poets, which, notwith- |
Standing the monstrosities of the romantic j
period ot storm and stress, represented the 1
necessary progress in the development of -
French literature. Suddenly Rachel ob- j
structed the path of this progress; a puff of j
her breath, and the shades on the banks of j
ttie Acheron of classical poetry revived; an
impassioned ardor pervaded the hollow, con- '
ventional pathos; the antique spirit of the
Greek models penetrated, like a torrent of ;
molten lava, into the molds of their imitators, )
and the three unities of Aristotle, whieh had ■
long since been felt to be irksome obstacles;
seemed to become once more the vigorous
wings of concentrated action and passion.
Corneille and Kaciae conquered over Victor
Hugo and Alfred de Vigny; for what was
wanting to Ueepr genius was made up by the
genius of the artiste. There was grandeur,
Brilliancy and impassioned warmth in her
acting. But it was the grandeur, brilliancy
and warmth of the setting sun.
. BACHKL AND JANIN.
A genius that was able to achieve such a
ahd fird'the heart of the French •peo
ple in so extraordinaiy a manner, could not
bnt be a great and most marvellous one. For
Rachel was of short stature and rather ugly,
seemingly asthmatic, of ordinary appear
ance, and even trivial in her language, when,
a girl of eighteen, she made, in 1838, her
first debut at the Theatre Franyaia. She had
already played live parts without making an
impression on the audiences, and without
dieting a single favorable and encouraging
word from the critics; finally, Jules Junin,
ttie King of Parisian feuiUetonisles, saw her
in Corneille’s Horaces, and said at once that
Rachel was the most wonderful little girl
whom the present generation had ever seen
on the stage, lie wrote in his Monday arti
cle in the Journal den Debuts:
“She possesses the divine spark of genius,
illuminating everything around her. No
sooner does she step upon the stage than she
looms up as a giantess, her form becomes
that of Homer’s heroes, her head is raised
her breast expands, her eyes kindle, her ges
ture is, as it were, a sound proceeding from
her soul; her words, full of the tumultuous
passions of "her heart, penetrate into the dis
. tance and die away. And thus she strides
along in Corneille’s drama and spreads terror
and dismay about her. Passion, majesty,
grandeur, nothing is foreign to her. Here
is heaven and earth for this wonderful child.
She was born in the realm. , of poetry aud
knows all itß most secret and hidden spots;
she reveals all its lairy-like mysteries. The
actors who play with her are thunderstruck
With this audacity; ancient tragedy breathes
more hopelully.”
In effect, this prophetic criticism said ail
thatcould be, and alter ward was said, about
Rachel.

de Wolzogcn, one of tfie most saga
cious, keen-eyed observers ami critics nor
’ trays Kacbel ns she was in iBr,:s, when the
Becpnd Empire had been proclaimed. She
plhyed at that time -Virginia, Itoxuna
ftOfl . Adrienne ' Lecouveur. “Furrows
and •’ he says, “commenced their
ijpjpttdent encroachments' upon this marble
face, Such vestiges of mature years, were,
confined, however, to the lower portion of
Rachel's head; they left intact the forehead
on which they are first to be seen. Her
beautifully chiseled nose began to assume
somewhat marked outlines; only her neck,.
her arms,. her waist, and her
splendid, exuberant raven hair did
their duty , still as perfectly as
her flashing, glorious eyes aud her organ so
susceptible of the most varied modulations,
and only sometimes remarkable for the some
what too defiant and coquet-ish manner in
which she used it. But she was, after all,
a French woman, and had to strive for power
ful effects. A pity it was that she sought
these effects principally in violent contrasts,
and thereby often produced impressions more
piquant and terrible than beautiful and
aesthetic. On that evening (in the role of
Virginia) jjlte wept, for instance, with in-
but at the same time she in
veighed against Appius Claudius, the seducer,
with the ferocity of a hyena, and caused the
audience often enough to shudder and tremble.
As a matter of course, the Parisians ap
plauded those scenes more boisterously than
any others.”
ILACIIEL’S INFLUENCE ON TIIE FRENCH STAOE.
Rachel played no part in any drama of the
romantic school but that of Tisbie, iu Victor
Hugo’s Angelo. Tbe first great part which
she created was. Ponsard's Jxucrecc, and
•Scribe’s" AdHcnni Leeouveur, which, was
written for her, was one of her most masterly
performances; but even in this part she pro
duced the greatest impression by Racine’s
verses, which she hurled at the duchess like
thunderbolts. However, she was inimitable,
not only as a fury of hatred, but also as a
passionately loving girl. Wolzogen says’:
“Never shall I forget the inimitable tender
ness, the fragrant and truly heavenly grace
aud delicacy with which she recited, in the
second act, before the young hero, Lafon
taine'B fable, Lea deux Pigeons, as an allu
sion to her tender attachment to him.”
Rachel founded no school of her own, as
otherjgrent actors and actresses did, nor did
the nuisance of viitueosliip in dramatic mat
ters, which she cultivated and fostered so
much, strike root in France; on the contrary,
it was buried with her. Her starring tour in
the tow'us and provinces and abroad by
which she tried to increase her regular in
come of 42,<100 francs, deprived the Theatre
Francois, especially during the Second Em
pire, only too olten of her co-operation,
though she achieved European and traus-
Atlantic triumphs by these tours. Iu turning
her vacations to account, she displayed the
feverish, avaricious -agerness which is pecu
liar to many great artistes, but which brought
about her premature death. During her va
cation in 184‘J, .she played in the course of
ninety days, in thirty-four different cities,
the leading part in no less than seventy
four tragedies of five acts. In I 8. r >3
she went to Russia, and received from the
intendant of the Imperial Theatre lor the
short time she played at St Petersburg the
enormous sum of 400,000 francs. Her trip
to the United States in 1835 was a failure.
Scarcely three years later, on the 3d of-
January, 1858, she died of consumption, at
the beautiful watering-place at Cannes.
Since that time the best. Parisian actors have
disdained this system of traveling virtueoship
which, if carried to greater lengths, would
prove the ruin of all good theatres. It was
Rachel’s special policy to surround herself,
during these starring tours, with contempt
ible actors and actresses, that her own lustre
might shine the more radiantly. Adelaide
Ristori pursues the same policy, which is
evidently an insult offered to the public, and
should not be tolerated.
Madame Ristori never ventures to appear
in the midst of her miserable stock company
in Paris nor in the large cities of Italy.
Why does -she do so in the United States,
where she has been rewarded more gener
ously than anywhere-else ? Rachel was
even jealous of her by far less talented sister,
Rebecca, when that young girl, who died at
so early an age, made an effort to conquer
the favor of the audiences of the Theatre
Franeais. For awhile - this, extraordinary
genuis was allowed. But soon the harmo
nious ensemble, to which the Theatre Fran
cois is indebted for its great name, reasserted
its rights. The ancient tragedy died with
Rachel; she resuscitated it; now it has be
come as dead aDd soulless as it was. To
day, the tragedies of Corneille and Staeine
leave the audiences cold and indifferent,
though it is fashionahle yet to manifest a cer
tain fictitious enthusiasm for them.
Tabic Talk.
In a very scarce book, Hal’s “Parochial
History of Cornwall,” published at Exeter
in 1750, mention is made of Killigrew, the
celebrated Master of the Revels temp. Charles
11., though he never was formally installed
as Court Jester. The following anecdote will
show that, at all events, he deserved the ap
pointment, even though he did not get it.
When Louie XIV. showed him his pictures
at Paris, the King pointed out to him a pic
ture of the Crucifixion between two portraits.
■“That on the right,” added his Majesty, “is
the Pope, and that on the left is myself.” “1
humbly thank your Majesty,” replied the wit,
“for tbe information; for though I have often
heard that our Lord wan crucified between
two thieves, I never knew who they were
till now.”
A Eveeyiiody knowgjhe story of Gunter,the
pastrycook. He was mounted on a runaway
horse with the King’s hounds, and excused
himself for riding against Alvanley by saying,
“O, my lord, I can’t hold him; he’s so hot.”
“Ice him, (tunter, —ice him!” was the con
soling rejoinder.
When Count D’Orsay first came to Eng
land us a very young man, and was about
twenty-two jeats of age, he was invited to
dine at Holland House, where he was seated
next to Lady Holland herself, who supposed
that the handsome stranger was a shy
young man, awe-struck by her majestic sel
fishness. Owing to a considerable abdomenal
development, tier ladyship was continually
letting her napkin slip from Her lap- to the
ground, aud as often as she did so, she smiled
blandly, but authoritatively, on the French
count, and asked him to pick it up. He
politely complied several times, but at last,
tired of this exercise, tie said, to her great
surprise—“ Would it hot lie better,, madam,
for me to sit under the table, so that I eau
pass you the napkiu more rapidly?”
Old Mudutiio Rothschild, mother of the
.mighty - capitalists, attained the uge of ninety
eight; her wit, which was remarkable, aud
her intellectual facilities, which were of no
common order, were preserved to the end.
In her lust illness, when surrounded by her
ltimily, her physician being present, she said
in a suppliant lone to the latter, “Dear doe
tor, try to do something for me.” “Madame,
what can 1 do? 1 can’t make you young
again.” “No, doctor,. I don’t want to be
young again, but ( want to continue to grow
old.
faOMK years ago, Mr. Lomax, of Netley, in
burrey, and the late Lord King, the father of
the pi client Karl Lovelace, were walking on
tlie lawn at Net U-y, and, great cronies as they
were, they were deep in the discussion,of po-,
litics, scandal and pausing events, or.such
topics as in the year on or about 1838' wore 1
available to ycutiljuiou, and likely to interest 1
men of their standii|g, Suddenly a yQjce, i
considerably imbued with the graceful' taint 1
usually on the tongue of a native of the Eme
rald Isle, sounded close to the elbow of Mr.
the:daily evening bulletin —Philadelphia, Saturday, September 21,1867.
Lomax, and in a whining tone those syllables
prayed for i’the laste taßte of a bit of vittcls.”
Startled out of propriety, and turning short
round upon a tall beggar-man, and without
much choice of expression, Mr. Lomax told
the suitor for charity “to go to—,” thun
deripg forth, at the same time, “that he had
relieved such a constant succession of beggars,
that he had resolved to do so no more. As
Mr. Lomax made this annunciation, he and
his friend Lord King' faced about to take
another turn on the lawn, and the Irish beg
gar-man, leaning on his stick, came face to
lace with them. ' “Lord love yer honor,"
said the beggar, “is it to you bid me
go? I’ve just corned from it.” Mr. Lomax,
amused with the cool, sly twinkle of
the old man’s eyes, as he stated whence he
had so immediately come, asked him, iu a
more good-natured’ tone of voice, “Well,
what were they doing there?” “Down on
their knees, they wub,” replied the beggar
man, “every mother’s son on ’em, a praying
for tbe arrival of Mr. Lomax, who, they said,
had long been due, aud a-swearing as he’ll
give ’em a shillin’ all round iu the way of
drink to pay his fixatin’, as soon as ever he
come,” “Here, you old humbug,” said Mr.
Lomax, laughing, giving him a guinea for his
wit, “that’s better than the shilling, should
you be there to meet me.”
Joseph Jkkyll was at the same time the
brightest wit and the most shameless punster
of Westminster Hall in the reign of George
111. One of his best displays of brilliant im
pudence was perpetrated on a Welsh Judge,
who was alike notorious for his greed of
.office, and his want of personal cleanliness.
“My dear sir,” Jekyll observed, in his most
amiable manner, to this most un
amiable personage, “you have asked the
minister for almost everything else, why
don't you ask him for a piece of soap and a
nail-brush.”
Loud Alvani.ey wrote to a friend, “I have
no credit with either butcher or poultererjbut
if you can put up with turtle and turbot, I
shall be happy to see you.”
Amongst Lord Eldon’s humorous answers to
applications for preferment should be remem
bered his letter to Dr. Fisher, of the Charter
house : oh one side of a sheet of paper, “Dear
Fisher, I cannot to-day give you the pre
ferment for which you ask. I remain, your
sincere friend, Eldon. Turn over;” aud on
the other side, “I gave it to you yesterday.”
This note reminds us of Erekine’s reply to
Sir John Sinclair’s solicitation for a subscrip
tion to tbe testimonial which Sir John in
vited the nation, to present.to himself. On the
one side of a sheet of paper it ran: “My dear
Sir John, I am certain there are few in this
Kingdom who set a higher value on your
Services than myself, and 1 have the honor to
subscribe," on the other side it concluded,
“myself your obedient, faithful servant,
“Ekskine.”
But let us pass on. We reach another quiet
village, Chelsea. On the lawn, in one of the
small gardens, sits Scotland’s celebrated
author, Thomas Carlyle. He lias a book on
his knees, and gazes thoughtfully into
vacancy. His is a dry, gaunt form; he wears
a morning gown and cup, aud draws heavy
clouds of smoke from his short clay pipe ; he
is the Diogenes of Chelsea. If you converse
with him, he is at first dry and laconic. He
conducts you then to' the pretty sitting-room
of his wile.
Lady Wallace sent a very civil message
to Mr. Harris, the patentee oif Covent Garden
Theatre, offering him her comedy for noth
ing. Mr. Harris observed that her ladyship
knew the exact value of it.
Lotas XIV., playing at backgammon, had
a doubtful throw; and a dispute arose, and
the surrounding courtiers all remained silent
The Count de Grammont happened to come
in at that instant. “Decide the matter,” said
the King to him. “Sire,” said the Count,
“your Majesty is in the wrong.” “How,”
replied the King, “can you thus decide
without knowing tiro question?” “Because,”
said the Count, “had the matter been doubt
ful, all these gentlemen present would have
given it for your Majesty.”— Every
Saturday.
Biilwcr, Carlyle sail Dickens.
In a late German work, “Weiter und
Wei'er," we find the following interesting
gossip on several literary celebrities of Eng-
Bulwer lives in his beautiful villa in Ful
ham, a quiet, lonely villa, above London. A
tranquillity disturbed by nothing reigns in the
house. Notwithstanding the warm spring
day, Bulwer sits near the fire-place, where a
bright coal. fire is burning. Outside the
branches of a cherry tree, covered with an
exuberance of blossoms, hang down on the
window, and the low, chirping notes of the
birds penetrate into the room. The cele
brated author —a tall, slender form, wrapped
in a sky-blue, soft-lined, silken morning
gown, which is fastened with a Btrong cord
around the waist —sits at a large,empty table,
and bas before him only a blank book, in
which he writes his new novels.
His large, light-blue eyes cast longing
glances out of the window; his auburn hair
fiows in ringlets down on his high, narrow
forehead; the large, slender nose hangs over
his small mouth, and his red whiskers fall
from his long and narrow chin on his
breast. The whole face looks decidedly too
long. He has a sickly appearance, and is
abstracted. His family affairs are at the botr
tom of his melancholy, which no one can fail
to perceive. His little daughter died —his
son, the heir to the baronetcy, is estranged
from him—and his wife, Lady Bulwer, has
long since been separated from him, and lives
in the city.
Let us enter her room. She site at her
writing table, for she is likewise at work
upon a novel. Her corpulent form, her
round face, her radiant deep blue eyes, her
raven hair, every thing forms a striking con
trast wkh the appearance of her husband.
• She conte'rnplates'the portrait of hereon; she
charges her husband with being another Love
lace and refusing to pay his debts. Her
large eyes look at us languidly; her lull cheeks
contain a number of dimples such as Rubens
liked to paint; her lips are still as swelling,
fresh and red as those of Titan’s daughters,
and yet she is much over forty. On think
ing of this our suspicions are aroused; the
crimson on her cheeks is too fragrant; the
heavy braids surmounting her forehead are
too black: her manners are decidedly too
kind and polite, and cannot be sincere—we
escape from her, bearing in mind the bleed
ing heart of her melancholy husband, and
the mournful tones of liis novels.
Mrs. Carlyle is a lively, pleasant creature,
and a world of, thought beams from her dark
eyes. She bus learned a great deal; her father
gave her a most profound education, and she
is possessed of a keen, yet mild judgment, ol'
w hich her husband himself is afraid. But
there she sits now, sewing with her hand
some linger a new, cravat Tor her Diogenes.
She wears an elegant morning costume.
In these surroundings we begin to lfcel at
ease. The portraits of Gothe, young and
old, and Jean Paid, are looking down upon
us.
Carlyle becomes talkative and witty, and
displays his whole famous eloquence. But
be is decidedly one-sided. You like to listen
to him, but you must beware of intcrrnptm"
him; and, nbuvo all, of contrudietiug him. He
letembles a clear-sounding bell; you touch ife
and it resounds, but ouly to itself. Neverthe
less, we Germans are always well at ease in
Carlyle’s presence, for, if there is an English-
man. who esteems and reveres our poets, it is
Carlyle.
Let us g<J now to Charles Dickens. There are
several aristocratic carriages and plain hacks
in front of his elegant residence, where a nu
merous party is assembled. The celebrated
romancist has returned from an extended
trip to Switzerland and Genoa, and gives to
night a soiree, such as are the order of the
day, at his hospitable house. He is blonde,
his eyes are light blue, his face flushed with
wine, neither meagre nor round, but brimful
of good humor and kindheartedness. He is
conversing with two ladies, who can not
refrain from bursting into loud laughter.
You can tell at once, on looking at this
face, which is by no means expressive in
itself, when Dickens describes, recites,, or
satirizes. Dickens is precisely as he Writes ■
lively, sanguine, a bon vi.ranl —now in a
poetical mood, now observing, all seemingly
superficially—and yet what a deep heart is
concealed under this restless surface! It it
is said that the currents of the world are in
jurious to genius, Dickens’ example proves
the contrary, for bis creations spring trom
the observations of life ; he would be nothing
without seeing, observing and living with
what he beholds. ,
In former times his wife, a .stately huly,
was to be seen on such occasions. Her black
eyes, her full form, her measured conduct,
were in striking contrast with those ol her
husband, and wo-regret to say that the,
quarrel which disturbed their relations ana
their happiness after a blissful wedded lite ol
many years has not yet been settled. They r
are not yet reconciled. The husband drowns
his cares in’his literary activity and in the
bustle of the world.
Anecdotes of Irving.
The genuine, though unobtrusive, modesty
of Washington Irving is known to all readers
of his works, this characteristic being one of
the many charms of his writings; but it is
not, perhaps, so well known that this trait, so
generally admired by others, was to himself,
at times, a source of infinite annoyance and
mortification.
The subjoined anecdotes, never before Pub
lished, we believe (one of which is quite
timely), are illustrative of his modesty, or
rather diffidence, as exhibited'on "two memo
rable occasions when confidence ancK sell
possession appeared to him peculiarly ne
cessary. On the occasion ot the visit ot
Charles Dickens to this country, a grand
dinner, as will doubtless be recollected by old
New Yorkers, was given to him at the City-
Hotel, at which a large number of literary
and other celebrities assembled to do honor
to tbe distinguished foreigner. After
the guest himself, the most im
portant person present was Wash
ington Irving, who had been selected to pre
side, and from whom a felicitous and interest
ing welcoming address was expected. To
the utter surprise of everybody, however,
when he arose to speak he was scarcely' able
to express a coherent word, and, after two or
three attempts, sat down, amid the laughter
of the party, completely discomfited. His
failure afforded Dickens an excellent oppor
tunity to show his humor and amiability at
the same time, which he did not omit to do
when he got up to respond. The next morn
ing Irving wrote to Parke Benjamin as fol
lows: — ' . ,
j “iiEAfi Paeke,—l broke down last night,
just as I knew I should. - Living. ’
i Some time after this, the Democratic party
j of this city, feeling the need of a strong can
didate to enable them to carry a pending
7 mayoralty election, chose the author of the
| “Sketch Book,” and a committee, composed
■, of some of the leading politicians of the day,
: was despatched to Sunnyside to apprise him
i of his nomination and obtain, if possible, his
■ acceptance. Arriving at his residence, they
.’ were met at the door by the housekeeper,
who,after eyeing them suspiciously and asking
divers questions, ushered them into the libra
; ry, where they found the illustrious author re
i dining on a lounge. After the usual civili
i ties, the spokesman of the partymade known
j the object of their visit in the most unexcep-
I tionable set phrases. Whereupon, Mr.
| Irving commenced to reply, and had got as
j far as “I thank you, gentlemen, for the com
! Alimentary manner in which you have con
j veyed to me this honor, but ” and pausing
i for an instant, he was relieved by the bouse
| keeper, who at that moment entered the
room to announce refreshments, and said,
evidently having overheard the conversation:
“But you shan’t go, sir;” when Mr. Irving
again resumed, and concluded in the words:
“Gentlemen, you have your answer”—and
then politely led the way to the dining-room.

£nffUsli Criticism*. on American
ACtOfM*
The London I'irnes prints a third article
by its dramatic critic, Mr. Oxenford, on the
American stage, Irom which we extract tie
following:
Mli. JOHN BttOUCiIIAM,
At present the principal actor at the
Olympic is Mr. John Brougham, who is the
author of all the Dickens’ dramas, and
whose name stands exceedingly high, both
as a comedian aiid as an agreeable member
of society. Originally one of Madame
Yestris’s picked company at the London
Olympic,Mr.John Brougham had established
a good English reputation long before he
crossed the Atlantic, and when he visited
London.a short Umosincehe was very favor
ably received. Indeed his representation of
the'comparatively small character, O'Grady,
in Mr. Boucicault’s “Arrah na Pogue,” gave
so much satisfaction that there is oven now a
talk of his returning to London when that
excellent drama is revived. But to appreciate
Mr. John Brougham’s powers as a stage
humorist to their full extent it is necessary to
see him before an American audience. At
New York he clearly feels that he is not only
a respected actor, but a popular favorite, and
that he can give rein to his comical vagaries
with a license which he could scarcely as
sume in England. As a burlesque actor ho
is here without a rival, and in this
genial atmosphere, one of the very
best ever seen upon any stage.
“Pocahontas,” which failed at the Prin
cess’s, when brought out there some years
ago, is quite another afiiiir in a country where
tlie story of Smith, the bold settler of Vir
ginia, and the Indian maiden by whom his
life was saved, iB as familiar as that of Ro
binson Crusoe and his man Friday. As the
lather of Pocahontas, Mr. John Brougham,
extra vagantly attired us an Indian chief, in
dulges in ns many ingenious absurdities an
the comic personages in the plays which '
Ludwig afieck wrote under the inspiration'
of Carlo Gozzi. Now he interpolates a
joke, be..ting reference to some. political
topic of the a.y; now he talks con.'uleutiully
to the leader of the hand, and that to an ex
tent which sublimely violating all the princi
ples of illusion, produces the most amiable
fraternity both in stage and audience. It is
a known fact that actors who rely on a pecu
liar idiosyncrasy are only thoroughly at
home with a public to whom they have
grown familiar. The inimitable John Reeves
could make nothing of America; his succes
sor, Wrightjwas lightly osteefned even in the
English provinces; and yet tirey both drew,
brow ds to the Adel phi.
MISS I.OT'J’A.
As for the most part Lotta does hot'so
muoh adapt herself to her characters as she
finds characters modified to suit her own
peculiarities, I should say her versatUity f was
rather apparent than real, were it not for the
delicacy and care with which she represents
L ittle Nell, a part that oilers ho opportunities
for the display of her popular eccentricities.
The serious jine of business is less in her line
than the comic, .but her articulation is admi
rably distinct, and tho readiness )vith which
she departs from her ordinary routine is
much to her credit.. When she has gone
through her American tour she will probably
visit London; but she will have something to
unlearn. Irish girls who play on the banjo
arc not among the institutions of the olu
country.
A TIiIHCTK TO AMKKICAN AIUUKNU'EH.
There is one fact with respect to which the
English public ought to be thoroughly dis
abused. When a London actor visits America,
and after a sojourn of two or three years
comes back to the old country, and is not so
much liked as he was before, it is commonly
asserted that he has been “vulgarized" in the
United States. Now there is nothing “vul
garizing” in an American audience; on the
contrary, its fault lies in the opposite direc
tion, and if 1 were an actor just from London
I should feel that there was not enough “go”
in my patrons, and that if they showed rather
less decorum their 'plaudits would be far more
inspiiiting.

terday afternoon the Committee on' 1 Property of
tftbe Board of School Controllers held a meeting
and reconsidered their action awarding a con-.
. Inapt to Francis Falls for $2,U00, for heaters for
.school houses in the Sixth Ward. There has been
considerable hue uud cry in relation to the matter
; for some days, the allegation being that the hid
of Mr. A. W. Rand, for vl.lkO, had been rejected,
and that of Mr. Falls, at ¥2,0(11), accepted.
At the meeting of Councils, on Thursday, the
Committee on Euw wore directed to investigate
the charge and report as soon ns practicable.
Tliis committee will not meet until Monday night
next—the Controllers, meanwhile, having (yc-:ler

tioned instance, and also as to the appropriation
of M,500 for healers for the schools e.f the N'iuth

hasty, action of the committee, right on the heels
of the resolution of Councils, is creating con

residing at No. 2n Columbia avenue, in cornj any
witli a friend, went into the bar-room of Robert
Matcer, southwest corner of Front and Putnam
streets, yesterday afternoon, to obtain drinks.
Farr offered a ten-doilar bill ir. payment, and
while receiving ids change a man named Michael
Kenney, who was unknown to him, stepped up
and accused him of dividing his moBCy with the
landlord. Parr showed Kenney the change he
had received, called him a dirty rascal, and dared
Jtlm to' resist the appellation. Kenney, it is said,
immediately drew a knife and slabbed Parr in
the arm, below the elbow,'.lnflicting a very pain
ful wound. Mr. John Hammett was attracted to
the place by the noise, and he at once arrested
Kenney and handed him over to the authorities.

dated Washington, D. C., Sept. Hi, i8lo:
The frequent acts of rowdyism and disorder
which have occurred during the past few days
within the garrison of Washington, resulting in
two cases of unprovoked murder, have not failed
to attract the attention of the Department Com
; rimiSaer, and company Officers are called upon to
uso the utmost vigilance on all occasions, whether
on duty or not, to guard against a recurrence of
those disorders.
With this view, frequent patrols by day and
night will be sent through the streets of Wash
ington to arrest all disorderly soldiers and all
others absent from their proper stations with
out passes, and a strict enforcement ot the orders
cmanatlng from the Headquarters of the Garri

officers urc earnestly enjoined to prosecute and
bHrp- to justice all offenders againstthe above en
actment.
uii mode of procedure under this act for any

Although American vessels laden with guano,
arriving Irorn certain guano l6lunds ana keys
specified in the Department Circular of .the 23d
ult., owned by eit zeros of tho United States, are
considered undor the iuw as being in tliecoastinp
trade, and are entitled to the pritHleges confcn i
upon vessels ot that class; yet, as R f 8 understood
that such vessels arc in the habit of calling at for
eign ports and places for the purpose of Pro
curing fresh water and supplies, it is necessary to
exercise greater watchfulness over them than
over coasting vessels.
You are accordingly hereby directed on the
arrival of any such vessel at your port to place an
inspector on board, with instructions to supervise
Die unloading of tho same, in order to prevent
the illegal introduction of articles liable to duty.
Very respectfully, H. McCulloch,

this fall.
From Wnshington/
Nothing lias transpired to-day what
the President will do concerning the demands of
the 1 Pennsylvania Demo mats. Si is thought he
will not make such sweeping changes ns they de
sire, bnt will extend them all the aid and com
fort he can by giving them some minor appoint
ments.
The bugbear of impeachment, which is ever
before him, and which would inevitably result if
he acceded to tholrdemands, makes him cautious,
uud although his will is good enough to give
them all they ask, yet lie lacks the nerve, it is
thought, to go to the whole ieugth they require.
A day or two will decide what lie will do. There
is reason to bclie/c, however, that orders will he
issued soon to make some alterations or repairs
to Hie man-of-war Brooklyn, at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, wbich will give work to a large num
ber of men./
The only/appoinlment obtained by the party of
Philadelphia Democrats while here, wits that of
Folyai[lßegun, as Assistant Assessor of Internal
Revenue, for the First Collection District, upon
the recommendation of Samuel J. Randall,
Dejgan’s commission was made out yesterday.
General Sheridan arrived here this evening,
and, without waiting for any demonstration in
the way of reception, proceeded to Willard’s Ho
tel in a dose carriage, accompanied, by his per
sonal staff. On his arrival at the hotel he was
greeted by Generals Hancock und Sickles, who,
with Joseph S. Brady, William C. Robinson and
Governor Fenton, of New York, joined him at
dinner. He will remain here for a feiv days only..
"GovernorOrr:-'of-South Carolina, lias written a
letter in which be expresses regret at the removal
of Sickles, and says that he thinks the President
rndae a great blunder in issuing the order. He
nlso endorses Sickles's. policy in the Carolinas to
the fullest extent.

used by ladies nursing or about to nurse infante.
