OBITUARY.
Wil4am gmlen Cresson, a young painter of the
greatest ingkeise, died on WednesdaY everAng at
lbillford,Pa.,whither he had repaired for the benefit
aids failing health.' He .was but twenty, five
years of his ago, and his early death Is a piteous
shock to avery large circle of warm friends:
what it is 'to his family, among whom his place
was such that Iris loss is the , desolation of all, we
will not eOnjecture. The extreme versatility of
Lie talents r and Ma habitual disposal of them for,
the benefit of any scheme of charity , or public
good, brought biro , .io contact with many of the
best and brightest spirits of the time, who Are
to-day made Mourners troth:Al his grave.
By. special predilection a painter, his musical
and histrionic talents were so marked that his
frlendri l eannot think of him as of any bounded
captivity; in bis soul Art included all; at his first
'step -upon Ibehighway _of life ithe • merit
branched before him into the three grand bat
easy roads,---mnsic, painting, - speech,—by any
one of which the path was plain. to fame. Cree
eon's intelligence, however, was too sagacious to
allow him to disperse his genius aimlessly over a
number of pursuits; with every temptation
and every opportunity to be a dilettante, he early
set his young,-grave facecir) one master career,
and gave to that the force of his native will ; the
brnal playedinhishatuiallAay r andabsorbed, tire
dominion of the sun; if he touched the keys at
twilight, or read the actor's role at midnight,
these were the adornments of private life and the
charm of 11111 circle, never his appeals to public
sympathy: it was not until the claims of the
sanitary aseoilatßii — is, daring the war, touched
whit - pity - souk of - the wuni tiistingulaiteci items
of the day, and made them forget privacy in the
ardor to be of use, that a limited publicity was
given to, his marked histrionic faculty;then it was
perceived that either as an elegant comedian or
as a star of parlor opera, Cresson's natural gifts
net ded only a little attention to bring them to an
ea quisite perfection.
Before the public Cresson was a painter. En
?owed with a natural eye for color, he placed
himself in boyhood beneath tht best attainable
colorist, and Rothermel had no pupil of such
aptness and such immediate promise; but while
studying oils beneath the master, his keen wit,
eellghtful fancy and occasional satire were filling
sketchbook after sketch-book, and running over
the edges of his portfolio. He could not write a
letter without an arabesque margin of
the most Feinted and fantastic illustra
tions; and the instant fixing upon paper
of whatever struck his eye in the passing - comedy
of life made of his pencil such an instrument of
correction, terror or delight as the pun was to
Charles Lamb or the piano to Theodore Rook.
Among the subjects of this ready faculty was the
.enerable actor Charles Rean, who upon seeing
one of Cresson's designs illustrating his great
conception of Louis XI , readily attached his
name to the page as a voucher for the accuracy
of the hit. In painting proper, his first marked
success was his Bluebeard. The truculent spouse,
the frightened wife, the gorgeous chamber, were
the admiration of the best critics. The painting
was in a vein which Cresson continued to love
iearly and to pursue with success. Among the
Ugh-fantastical caprices of legend and fairy
lore, the young painter found a ground where
his love 01 brilliancy and serio-comic romance
had full play. These was a modesty, too, in this
choice of subject. Those who knew him best
knew that he was all the time pressing towards a
higher attainment,and longing for the time when
he should feel competent for the delineation o'
pure poesy and soul-eothpelling story. Ah, boy
dropping into . the grave, like an early
flower, that palette hardly harmonized and
crudely mixed, who shall tell what
dreams you have had, what a future you
I ntended ! Who knows what passion of sad
ness may have filled these last musing,
invalid months, when you saw slowly and
inevitably withdrawing from your powers those
coble phantoms that you loved, that career
your ambitioc compassed, those attainments
that seemed your rights! In a little time, had
life been spared, the fuluese of a completer cal
ture would have allayed that heroic thirst ;
masters of the old world would have set to the
true line that eager pencil; the sight of all that
has been done in the kingdom of art, the history
of all the schools, in their germ, their glory, and
their imposing decadence, would have been un
rolled before those eyes that nothing escaped.
Now the chance is past, and the pictor ignotus
whose public was but his city and his home,
recedes complainingly from the world he seemed
born to charm. The curtain of a profound dis
appointment closes upon that career which was
watched only with laughter and delight, and the
lamp of wit and genius goes out, dying into the
long, dreamless dark.

The Faris correspondent of the Boston Post
gives the following amusing account of the Queen
of Mob ely
" Her , Majesty • Fatonma-Djotalx"-, Queen of
Mohely. has been a guest of France, at the hotel
dn Lotivre. She Is a little creature, coppery and
with bulging
,eyes which are black and good
natured. She has a tine month and teeth and
long and silky hair, covered by a golden diadem
anartnany,valls. Her costume is Turkish' trow
seri; with colored boots, and a 'scarlet spencer.
She walks' clumsily and speaks' 'French with
facility and correctness. Accompanying her are ,
her son-in-laiv, an enormous negro of_three and•
twenty, who wears a turban and carries a naked
sword ; and a lady-in-waiting "on the queen, who
resembles one of those. Nubian figures

Majesty is also with the party. He :tie a huge
African who bears, like the son-In-law of his
mistress, a sword without its sheath, though his
most formidable occupation is to massacre
spring-chickens, half a dozen of which•Fatottma
devours daily. The cook is a personage, and,
untised to European. shoes, appears awkward. in
them, yet sa tanck delighted at his own erratic
movements caused thereby as is the watching
crowd in the court-yard of the hotel du Louvre.
Strapped to his back is a sort of game-bag in which
are always a cenple of live fows :in the event of her
Majesty feeling peckish when out upon a jaunt.
At such an emergenty, the gentleman In ques
tion clips off the head of the captive bird and
presents the quivering neck to august lips, which
suck the blood with great apparent gusto, and
the flesh, afterwards broiled, the Queen of Me
hely devours rapidly with a pinch of mustard
powder.--Ordinarily-for-a napktn-her-majesty
uses the curly head of a dusky boy, several of
whom travel in her suite in this capacity, but

.
ral years ego there was a revolution in Mada
gascar. The yellow King was dethroned and
spirited away. Some said he had been slain, but
It has recently been ascertained that he is alive
and in captivity, and the "little Qneen Mohely"
has asked aid of the Emperor to deliver the mon
arch in the vocative who is of her family and an
ancestor. A religions society established in
Madagasear, composed of Spaniards and 'French
men,has taught the languages of that:,• two to the
Queen and persuaded her to undertake the trip to
Europe to beg for the succor needed. Everything
in the plan proposed, it seems, pleased her and
ber son-in law, except the boots—for barefooted,
they were told, it would never do to go to the
courts of - Paris and Madrid. The Queen and re
lative, thh, have been practising with boots,
more or lees, for a term of years, and as they can
both stand upright in them at present, these chil
dren of the woods and desert think the object
gained—equilibrium and self-possession, when
dbod in leather, being with them the perfection
of diplomacy. They would be spell-bound if
called upon to measure the political potency of a
double clog-dance. At home the pal ,Pss of Mobily
consists of a quantity of piles driven into the
ground, upon which is built a large cabin of logs.
The bodyguard of the queen sleep below upon
the ground, ana a few are eaten nightly by the
wild beaats of the emmtry—Where, - laot many
years ago, the natives were fond of human hams
and heels, if particularly done in souse. It was a
prince of Madagascar, educated in. Paris, where
Cie lived for nearly a score of years, who, when re
turned to his father and mother, the king and
4neetr, thorough-bred and plump from European
living, was joy fully devoured by the old folks and
a few intemes the night after reaching home.
But the Queen of Mohely. by public proclama
tion, abolished boy and girl fare from her table,
nor does she run the risk of being munched by
man-eaters like her bodyguard—the tiger swal
low's the chapeau with the soldier,whose uniform
is a red feather in a cocked hat, and white gaiters,
and the officers for drapery have a silver ring in
the nose or on the little finger, according to
their rank—but climbs a ladder of fifty feet to
each the palace portal, then pulls the ladder up
eehind her. All these kitchen facts are related
to me, but I scrutinized her Majesty on one oc
casion, when busy with her food—saw the entire
process and her sharp white teeth,as she gnawed
at the breast of a half-done chicken and tore off
the strips of flesh—and concluded that, pinched
with hunger, and no one near, she was hardly
the one I should select to watch! a well-basted
baby, turning on the spit, if I had one cooking
for my dinner."

a novelty that promises something very revo
lutionary in the Church. The epitome of his
tong columns on the pre'sent state of Catholicity
is to forewarn the world that as the monarchies
of Europe have fallen off. the Roman Catho
lic Church will renew her vigor among the de
mocracy. More of this when more has appeared,
but such a man as Mr. Venillot has not published
so long and important an article with
out knowing exactly what he is about and
what others are about likewise. His hold on
ultramontanism and the hold of the same party
on him are very significant.
Rochefort is making himself more enemies
with every dawning morn. His last number is
more cutting, more uncompromising than over.
Lachaud, the great speaker, better known as
the defender of Madame Lafarge, is opposed to
Jules Simon as Deputy for the future elections.
All the population of Torz are to vote for him.
Mr. Lachand is considered less dangerous by
the majority than Jules Simon. He is also ap
preciated at court by the Empress. At first he
refused, preferring his rank as first notability at
the'bar to the fifth or sixth rank at the Assent
blue; but his scruples have been silenced. All
the factory people have offered to pay.expenses,
and the struggle between the two candidates is
fair.
Things, look bad at Rome, the Pope having had

Extraordinary
FLonirrice, July 21,1861.—1ta1y and England
have - been very near having - a tiff mpon a point of
naval etiquette. On the 11th in t. the British
frigate Caledonia, with Admiral Lord Clarence
Paget on board, arrived off "Ancona and gave the
customary salute of twenty-one guns. No re
sponse, however was made from the fort,
and after waiting in vain for five hours,
the commander of the Caledonia sent an
officer on shore to inquire the meaning of
eo strange a discourtesy. The Italian
naval officer of the port was profuse in apology,
and had to adtnit the awkward fact that he had
no powder and not even a gun at his disposal fit
to fire a salute. IL appears that he had already
besought the military commander of Ancona to
return the salute, but that officer had refused to
transgress the regulation establishing that salutes
to• ships of war is the business of the naval officer
of the port.. Vainly did the latter represent his
destitute condition in the matter of powder and
guns; the soldier was obdurate, and would not
yield until he got ti• telegraphic order from the
War' Ministry at Florence to rouse the
welkin by his field pieces. Finally, after an
Immense amount of negotiation and fuss, the
salute web returned just within the conventional
twenty-four hours and the Caledonia departed
satisfied. A would-be first class. Power cuts a
very' poor figure lu, such- an incident -as• this.,
More serious, however, la the utterly
condition of so important a port as Anemia. Not
a gun in the fort and no gunpowder tells a sad
tale of poverty or improvidence atheadquarters.
The affair was brought up in Parliament yester
day and the Minister promised that it should not •
occur again. He will at least provide the porta
with saluting popguns and powder enough, oven
if he finds them no cannon wherewith to repel a
hostile attack.

niNDON, July 25, iB - 65.-- - marican actors are
beginning to make quite a stir in London for the
summer season; but those who are acquainted 1
with American theatricals will roar with laugh

example, Miss Agnes Cameron has leased Astley's
theatre-for-tbe-summer-months-and-will-prodnee
there an adaptation of one of Mr. Disraeli's
rariftiffeF -- Pise - ms WA> a - stiectaele
called "The Fall of Magdaia." Mr. Fairclough,
"the great Americaetragedian," as he is styled
here, is advertised to appear at the Lyceum, un
der Smith's management. Sandman, another
"great" philosopher, will play in the same thea
tre in a new drama by Lytton Bulwer. Miss
Cella Logan is engaged in the Lyceum and will
be a genuine acquisition. The others
noticeable as instances of the class-a actors who,
represent the American stage abroad. Why not
send us Forrest and Booth to put these "great
tragedians" in their proper places?
ixeontive Committee N. Y. "Boys In
This Committee has held several meetings
lately, ana has ilnallY established its headquarters
in Rooms Nos. 16 and 17, Astor House.
The following address has been issued by the
Committee, and speaks for itself :
THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE "GRANT
AND COLFAX BOYS IN BLUE"
To the Veterans of the State of Xeo• York!—Co3r
a.t.ars • The greatest and most desperate war
known to history-was waged for four years with
the avowed object of destroying our beloved
Union and blotting out our nationality.
That contest was a necessity of our former
conflicting systems of civilization, North and
South. It was ordained to come when the
grand principles of the Declaration, becoming
overwhelming In the multiplied and powerful
free States, should threaten, by their example
and their progress, the existence of Haman Sla
very.
It came, and against the Government, against
our nationality, the slaveholding - States, con
trolled by the favored few in whose hands their
system placed their governments, declared open
war. Loyalty was stamped oat and treason
ruled.
Besides this, a large minority at the North, bad
enough to be traitors, but too cowardly to take
up arms, gave evidence by their hiss of the
presence of their ppison. James Buchanan, then
President, declared that "the Government had no
power under the Constitution to protect itself,"
and Horatio Seymour said: "Successful coer
cion is as revolutionary as armed rebellion."
But sublime patriotism has kept even pace
with freedom in its grand progress, and millions
of men and thousands of millions of treasure
were freely offered in defence of imperiled liberty
and a threatened nationality.
You know full well the details of the mighty
four years' struggle. They are with you daily in
the hallowed memories of every battle field; the
sable weeds of mothers and sisters of dead com
rades remind you; onerous taxation, which re
duces your bumble incomes, reminds you; nor
have you forgotten that thousands of lives and
millions of treasure were added to the score by
the "aid and comfort" given armed treason by
Copperheads, who, when you marched gladly to
to the front singing
We're coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more !"
called you Lincoln hirelings, and hissed between
their teeth the hellish wish "that , you would
never return alive;" and who, in conventions
assembled, deliberately proclaimed the war a
failure, and demanded that "the unholy war
should cease."
By the skill of our generals, the valor of our
armies, and the generous support of all loyal
people, the Government triumphed over its
enemies, and the nation was saved. Defeated
treason was prepared to accept any terms at the
hands of victorious loyalty, only asking,and that
as a boon, that their lives and property, other
than slaves, should be spared to them.
Then an apostate President, himself the rebel
lion's greatest victory, by his acts proclaiming
himself the government, assumed to establish
civil governments in the conquered territory.
Then abject, shame-faced, whipped Treason again
held up his head, and the leaders of rebellion be
came civil rulers, and loyal people South were
placed under ban. But Congress, fresh from the
people, and their authorized voice, wiped out the
governments of Andrew Johnson, and estab
lishes governments based upon loyalty and im
partial suffrage.
The election of 1868 will embody the verdict
of the American people, as welt upon the triumph
of our armies over armed rebellion, as upon the
Congressional Reconstruction of the rebellious
States.
With poetic justice, Ulysses S. Grant, or Ho
ratio Seymour, is to become the representative of
that verdict.
We trusted him when to trust was to risk all.
Scarcely less is the trust that the American peo
ple are called upon to repose in him who shall
succeed Andrew Johnson in the high office which
he so deplorably prostitutes.
Around a more dangerous, because less brave
man than Jefferson Davis, to-day every disloyal
person, North and South, is rallying, in the hope
of accomplißhing, by a flank movement, what
brave traitors failed in by direct attack—the over
throw of this Government.
The Democracy of Horatio Seymour is Re rolu
r ion; the Republicanism of Ulysses S. Grant is
peace, and a restored prosperity to the whole
country.
Every man who wore the "blue" when treason
leveled cannon, musket, and sabre at the heart of
our loved country, is invited to join us in the
work of making the great captain of our victo
rious armies President.
We are organized with State, county and dis
trict committees, and propose to commence
forthwith the work of the campaign. In every

A correspondent with Grant upon his Western
trip writes: ''
At Central City and Georgetown, Nevada, the
miners were apparently the most eager to see
General Grant. A company ofperhaps a dozen
of these Came in from a distance of ' eight miles.
Thege were men of opposite- political sentiments
in about equal numbers among them, bat it was
not apparent in their behavior. One, who, was
appointed chairman of the party, said: " Gene
' rai Grant, we are a rusty set of hard-working
miners; we are shut out from the world, and are
not, so well posted !nal the news of the day—we
lave - ma:vote in the coming election ; but for all
that We are not less anxions to see the first man
of the country, to shake hands with him in wel
come, and show our civilization."
Gen. Grant manifested a great degree of emo
tion in replying to this friendly greeting:
"I thank you, gentlemen, for this • generous
expression of friendship. It is as gratifying as It
is sincere."
There was no eager crowding and rushing, or
unseemly behavior by these men, who exhibited
a greater degree of gentlemanly respect and
Ipii ce_lhan_was obßprvad In _the conductof_so
large a company anywhere on the way.
—The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat Is thus pro
fanely and ridiculously offensive: "If we have
__either_tolleht,_or_to_forgetthat_there ever was a
Eunneynede,Lllor a Sydney, or a Jeanne d'Arc,or
rola - tme
- , - Itriirstticer - for the coun
try's sake, and to show that Christ did not die in
vain for the human race, let us prepare for it.
Even if we must die, let us die game! Thousands
of our young men are too proud to work. Let
them not be too proud to die, if need be, for
their country."
The Jeffirson (Texas) Ku-Klux (Seymour and
Blair) says: "We well know that if our standard
bearers shall be made to trail our proud banner
in the dust, that then the expiring shriek of a
cherished freedom will be heard, and a night of
eternal gloom and misrule will be ours.' And
further: "How shall we obviate a war of races?
There is no way under the broad canopy of hea
ven, without it is driving from our midst these low,
mean white men. With them out of the country,
the negroes and white people could get along
peaceably and quietly; but if they are allowed to
remain in our midst, just se sure we are bound to
have a war of races, and when there is one drop of
blood spilt, we predict that it will flow as freely as
dots the Mississippi."
—The kt, Joseph (Mo.) Herald, speaking of the
disturbance created by Democrats at the recep
tion of Gene. Grant and Sherman in that city last
week, says : "In the noisy mob hooting and yell
ing Insults at Grant and Sherman, wii recognized
the same boisterous element which passed a re
solution at a meeting in the Court House in 1861,
that no appointee of l!4r. Lincoln should ever-oc
cupy the St. Joseph Post Office; the same ele
ment that raised a Rebel flag at the foot of Felix
street,and killed the commerce of the city dead as
a door nail for tour years ; the identical element
which tore the flag from the roof of the Post-office,
and threatened with death any man who dared
insult the chivalry of the South by unfurling the
banner of his country."
—The Raleigh (N. C.) 'Standard guarantees
50.000 majority for Grant and Colfax in North
Carolina.
—The Albany A rgos says it wants "a return
to the rule of old-fashioned Democracy." That'A
what Hampton, Cobb, Semmes and the other
rebels want.
—The Boston Post, Democratic, says: "The
names of Seymour and Blair have run like wild
fire from hill to valley, all over the land." That's
a correct figure—down-hill all the time.
—The Chicago Post has the following : "Frank
Blair says 'revolutions cannot go backward.'
No ; but revolutionists can ; though Frank finds
it hard to go either backward or forward in a
straight line."
—The Secretary of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee of California writes to the Con
gressional Republican Executive Committee that
the Republicans on the Pacific coast are making
preparations for an energetic canvass, and that
they believe Grant and Colfax will carry that
State by 10,000 majority.
—A leading. Democrat of Port Jervis, N. Y., in
a note to the editor of the Union, says: "I can't
go Secession and Copperheadisna as embodied in
the nominations of the Democrats. I don't see
it. I believe the best blood of this country was
shed in putting down the most wicked and in
fernal of all rebellions. We must stick to our
principles (all good Democrats and Republicans
alike), and stand by the old flag, and tread under
our feet the flag of secession and repudiation nn
furled and borne by Horatio Seymour. I tell yon
we must whip them again, and we will do it."
—The Southern l'indicater, of Pine Bluff,
Arkansas, warns the people of that State - not
to be misled by lying Radical emissaries." It
says:
"We desire our democratic friends to be wary
bow they listen to the voice of the Radical press.
Since the presidential nomination'a movement
has been set on ,toot to prejudice the
Southern mind against General Blair. It
le published to the country that he
is the individual who, when Postmaster-
General, refused to allow Democratic papers to
come South. This is a vile fabrication—an elec
tion trick to carry out their infamous plan to
further persecute us. It was Montgomery and
not Frank P. Blair who was the corrupt Post
master-General."
How will Montgomery Blair like the com
pliments of his present bed-fellows? And what
will Frank think of this attack upon hie brother?
—After quoting the letter of Gov. Seymour,
wherein he states he never owned a United States
bond, the Cincinnati Enquirer, Pendleton's home
organ, says:
"We did not need this to convince us that Mr.
Seymour was not the bondholders' candidate.
Those who attended the Now York Convention
from the beginning to the close were made thor
oughly aware of this fact. The bondholders'
hopes and anticipations were entirely in a differ
ent quarter, which was well known by Ohio and
by Mr. Pendleton's friends, who nominated Mr.
Seymour when their own favorite could not be
selected. Mr. Seymour represents the people r hi
this IF sue, and not the bondholders."
An English paper says: "A fisherman of Mo
vagissey lately became impressef. %,,tl2 the idea
that he was 'ill-wished' by a pc .r widow, whose
son had been dismissed from a mackerel seine.
To avert the evil corsequences which he appre
hended might ensue, be procured a large bone,
and after filling , the hollow with pins, proceeded
to place it in the chimney. Daring this ceremony
he rend portions of the Bible, especially the 109th
Psalm. This incantation was intended to cast a
spell on the 'witch,' but hitherto it has failed in
effecting the proposed result. It is an acknow
ledged fact thatmany in Cornwall superstitiously
attach importance .to such senseless allegations of
witchcraft."

Long Branch, Eatontown, Ocean Port, and
deed this whole county would be enriched every,

—A Mr. Waylies, in New Orleans, has been
contriving means to get rhl of street railroad
horses, and his experiments, so far, have betin
successful. His plan is that, in the car stations,
there is to be an ordinary steam engine, of about
sixty-six horse power, for.compressing air into
reservoirs. The reservoirs ap made of a paper
composition and two of them are placed on top
of the cars. ' On each car there is to be a small
engine, operated by air, supplied from the reser
voir in the same manner as steam, giving the
exact amount of power that is required to com
press the air. The engine is not diflictilt to run,
and the ears can be stopped as readily as whore
horses are used. Each car will have 300 pounds
of air to start with, which will be sufficient to
run it nine or ten miles. The exhausted air, - as It
escapes from the engine, may be used for venti- -
laden. The New Orleans Picayune says : "When
this system is adopted in our city, It will cause at
east 5,000 moles to be sent Into the 'country..
thereby .being of mucit benefit to the t?rtttora.".‘
