rams, T , • •y,
_September 29, 1868.—We are
very little O N l.er advanced here in our news
from SpainVs , ....„whan I last wrote. No au
thentic Intel nee 4hatever, or any that can be
relied on, come. either from Madrid , or St. Se
bastian or other Spanish source. Bat, even as I
write, information received through Portugal
throve a more certain light upon the real state of .
affairs. We learn, for instance, that Prim, instead
of arriving at Cadiz after the other generals, was
there first, and actually ebncerted the rising
with Admiral Topeta, on board of whose
vessel be was the night before the
fleet declared Itself. The other Generals arrived
after. and all appear to be acting in concert,
without any of those "misunderatandlags" (for
the present at least) which the Madrid telegrams
assured us had already broken out. The head
quarters and nucleus of the insurrection are evi
dently at Cadiz, which, with all the adjacenteoun.
try, Xerez de la Frontera,Porto di Santo Maria,and
other places eo well known to tourists and yacht
ing men, have declared against the government
of the Queen. The commercial and bourgeois
class, so rich and powerful all through that
district, seem to have thrown themselves with
medal ardor into the movement.
A provisional government has been established
at Cadiz, and the proclamations seem to point
mainly to a Constituent Assembly, an appeal
to the nation through universal suffrage, and the
probable establishment of a constitutional mon
archy. The names of the Duke and Duchess of
Montpensier have been nowhere proclaimed as
ye t, but the public attention is evidently fixed
upon them. With regard to the spread of the
it,urrectlon, both Seville and Cordova seem to
auve, pronounced for it, but Barcelona not yet to
ve been willing,or more probably able, to do so.
Prim, leaving Cadiz, Is before Carthagena with
three frigates, threatening to bombard the garri
anal It does not snrrender,which it probably will.
The wretched Queen is still at St. Sebastian, evi
d• ntly unable to move, even If willing to do so -
It is Important at this moment to find the tele
grams from Biarritz speaking of the Court being
likely to leave that place "on the 80th," to-mor
row, much before the usual time. This looks as
though it were expected that Queen Isabella
would soon be obliged to cross the frontier into
French territory, and that the. Emperor, seeing
how completely the country is against her,would
rather not be in the way, to receive her.
During the present crisis in Spain, a few words
may not lie uninteresting upon the military
leaders of the day. just to show the ups and
downs of these men, and the various fortunes
through which, such adventurers have dragged
themselves and their country. There is, firet, old
F.spartero, whci, after tieing aueeessful in the civil
war of 1842, was set aside; then raised himself to
power - a second time,,with O'Donnell, In 1854;
was upset again by the latter, and now a third.
time looms as a possibility on the political hori
zon. It would be difficult to count the changes
of sides and pronancicurtentas through which
the two Conchal—Don Manuel and Don Josa—
have passed. They, too, joined in the revolution
of 1854, and fell with O'Donnell before Narvaez.
Don Jose, Marshal Serrano, who is now playing
a conspicuous part, after being long exiled, was
recalled and sent ambassador to France. Dis
graced again, he was among those lately banished
to the Canary Isles, to appear as a leader in the
present insurrection. As to Prim, ho has been a
lama harlequin in politics, and has passed his
life in jumping through one pronunciamento after
another. He combined with that old reprobate,
the Queen Mother, Maria Christina, to upset Es
partero in the first Instance. Then ho was
accused of treason, proscribed, and wan
di red all over Europe,taking service at one time,
it I remember right, under the Sultan. In 1854
be was all right again with O'Donnell,and shared
in the Morocco campaign. He commanded the
Spanish expedition to Mexico, and sagaciously
enough. refused to be cajoled into following
France. Boon after this he quarreled with Don
Jesd de Concha, and suddenly headed a mad
Liberal movement, some two years ago, which
sent him again into exile. Now, once more, he
bids for power 'among the host of Spanish mar
shals, generals and other decorated and titled
heroes, who are, almost without exception, In
debted for their military rank and honors to cam
paigns against each other and their own coun
trymen.
Death is rapidly thinning the personal, and
what may be called{ the "family!' adherents and
connections of IsTapolec 111. We haNe just
heard of the sudden deco
t by a stroke of apo
plexy at Strasburg, of Count Walewski, at the
age of fifty-eight. tEvery one Is aware of the
supposed close relationship of the deceased to
the First Napoleon, to whom he bore so striking
a likengsa. The' most conspicuous- post ever
held by Count Walewski, as a statesman, was
that of President of the Congress of Paris, after
the Russian war. Subsequently he succeeded the
Due de Morny, another Fitz-Bonaparte, as
President of the Chamber. He was a member
of the Privy Council and of the Regency; and in
him the Emperor loses another staunch sup
porter of the name and dynasty of the Na
poleons.
The last number of La Cloche, the sueceszor to
La Lanterne, which never tires of "showing up"
the entourage of Louis Napoleon, contained the
following hit upon the spurious " nobility " of
M. Flalin, a personage now much better known
to the world by the imposing title of " His Ex
cellence M. le Due de Persigny." When that in
dividual was "caught," along with his master and
the tame eagle, aftsr_the mad exploit of Bon-
logne he was brought to trial - in due course for
treason before the Chamber of Peers. The old
Due Pasquier, Chancellor and President
-of the Chamber, thereupon addressing
the culprit, said to im : "Fialin, why do you
call yourself Persigny ?" The reply was that
"Persigny was the name of an estate belonging
to his family." Thereupon La Cloche, desiring
further information on the subject, consults the
French "Annual Registry of the Noblesse" for
1850 (mark the date), and there reads, under the
name of "M. de Persigny," that "ho was the
legitimate son orhis father, an honest bailiff of
the village of St. Martin-d'Estreaux, who had
bought an acre of land with a charcoal-burner's
hut upon it, which the villagers, who give a
name to everything, called Persigny." Well,
some years roll by, and certain little events take
•place in French history; after which the "Annual
Registry of Noblesse" appears once more, hi 1855
(again mark the date), and La cloche, onee'more
consulting the volume under the head of "De
Persigny," finds the following entry: "In 1628,
--PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 186 g
d'Hozler" (the bead of the Herald's College),
- registers by order of Louis XIV., in the official
Gt neral Register of the armorial bearings of
France, the coat of arms of Antoin "Phialin,
Equerry, Seigneur of Persigny, to whom he de
signs as arms a 'Field, blue, with a chetron,gold,
charged with a lozenge, sable.'" "What a won
derful insight," exclaims La Cloche, "did the
,up d'itat give the 'Annual Register of Noblesse
in the papers, family, titles, estates, and armorial
bearings of tbe De,rersignys between the years
3850 and 1853!"
Although our streets are still deserted, some
symptoms of a "returning season" are beginning
to set in, atleast by way of announcement. Mlle.
Patti has either arrived or is daily expected, and
will re-appear this day week in the Lucia, and no
doubt create fresh furore under her new patent
of nobility as Marquise de Cattx. She will have a
formidable rival, however, in La Nilsson, who is
returning from Germany after a succession of tri
umphs. Still,' doubt not that the Atlantic night
ingale will bold her own even against the dulcet
strains of the Northern bird.
SPAIN.
Incidents of the fitevolation—indlifer.
once in Madrid.
Mr. William H. Smell writes from Madrid
to the London Times, tinder date of Septem
ber 26th :
"If I were to say that I, a perfect stranger to
this country, and no less inclined by nature than
bound by the duties of my office to the strictest
impartiality, am apparently the man in Madrid
most deeply concerned in the issue of the politi
cal movement, my assertion would be taken as a
paradox: yet it would only convey the impres
sion produced upon my mind by the aspect of
this city. If you trust the evidence of your eyes
and ears, you will never imagine that such a
change as the substitution of one dynasty for
another, of one government, good, bad or in
d)ffercnt, for another having at least the charm
of novelty, is impending over the peninsula.
[lt must be remembered that Madrid was at
this time in the hands of the royalists, and the
people dared not display any enthusiasm tor the
revolution.—Eh. 131:L1x-rm. I
How Print Entered Cadiz.
Prim's entrance into Cadiz was a scene of
she greatest enthusiasm, says a London
71mea correspondent. We had an account
of It from an eye-witness, who arrived here
this morning, and I have also seen a
short letter from Prim to a friend, in which he
describes it In few but energetic words. The
whole city was out, mad with delight, men and
women, crowding round the successful General,
embracing and thanking:him. The Gaditanos
are a demonstrative people, and on this occasion
they seem to have almost gone out of their senses
with joy. One of the first things to be done, now
that all was secure in Cadiz, was to send a mes
senger to Seville, and a well-known progressista
journalist was despatched thither. As soon as
the chiefs of the liberal party heard of the success
of the movement at Cadiz they rose and the gar
rison rose, and the whole city besides; and the
Captain-General of the province, old General
Vassallo, who declined joining, received a pass
and departed northwards.
"A revolutionary committee or junta was at
once formed, having for its President Senor Aria
tegui, well known and much esteemed as a true,
liberal and disinterested man, who has never held
office. but has always maintained a high reputa
tion as an honorable, patriot,: leading
man in Seville, and probably some of your read
ers have visited his valuable- gallery of pictures,
which Is one of the 'lions' usually:shown to
strangers in that city."
The Mace of ITlontpensior.
The Gaulois publishes the following statement,
the purport of which is confirmed from other
quarters:
"A personage who has been mixed up with
Louis Philippe's polities, and remained on inti
mate terms with the Princes of the Orleans
tam ily, went to Biarritz and sought an interview,
which was immediately granted. `Sire,' said the
personage in question, •I am entrusted with no
mission from any one to your Majesty. I come
here of my own accord, to say that, whatever
may be the result of forthcoming events, I am
perfectly certain that the Duke of Montpensier
will never authorize the Duchess to accept
Queen Isabella's succession. The Duke knows
that Spain needs to be on good terms with
France, and he is perfectly aware that his per
sonal position would place the kingdom in great
difficulty. Nothing in the world would induce
him to accept the responsibility of the events
which might follow the Duchess of Montpen
sier's accession to the throne. His resolution on
this score is so far determined that your Majesty
may consider my statement as a formal renun
ciation of the Spanish crown on the part of the
Duke and Duchess of Montpensier.' The Em
peror, in reply, said that he, had the greatest
esteem for the character of the Duke and the
virtues of the Duchess,hut that Politics had exi
gencies above all considerations of feeling, and
'hat he was happy to hear that the Duchess of
Montpensier, in accordance with her husband's
good advice, dismissed any idea of ascending the
throne of Spain."
Qucen Isabella inExile.
The dethroned Queen was still at sit. Sebas
tian at last accounts. The Bordeaux Gironde
gives the following particulars of her sojourn
there: ,
"Secluded, almost in solitude, in her palace,
through whose saloons streams of courtiers and
guests so lately passed, the Queen is reported to
lgive vent to bitter sarcasms in speaking of her
onely and deserted condition. Her Intendant
and lover, Marfoi, who—to everybody's indig-aa
tion—is seen strutting about the streets, appears
to be her Majesty's only confidant. Now that
her reasons for. postponing her departure, and
resisting the wise advice of the few faithful
friends remaining to her, are known, the Queen,
as a woman and a mother, is regarded with su
preme indifference. The inspector of the North
of Spain Railway is continually in attendance,
:waiting her Majesty's pleasure to
. give a fourth
order of departure; the royal carriages still re
maining in the station."
A Curious Prediction of the Rising.
A letter written and published some months
op o, by Karl Blind, is now republished in the
German press, from Which it appears that both
the previous rising, which ended with the ex
pulsion of the Duke de Montpensier,and the pres
ent revolution, were confidently expected and
predicted so early as the beginning of this
year. The following were the words of a Span
ish leader, who was in London at that time, lit
erally made nee of: "In a few
.months you will
see a number of our Generals arrested ; among
them oven the former favorite of the Queen,
Marshal Serrano, Count de la Torre. A new mil
itary movement is on foot; we have nothing to
do with it; we shall simply step aside; and that
conspiracy will fail. But a few months after
ward you will see another rising, of a more ex
tensive and decided nature. Our great towns
are ready for that; and, he sure, the pronuncia
mento will be made." The prediction thus com
municated several months ago has certainly come
to be fulfilled.
Prim from the. Deck of a War Ship.
tFrom the Journal Couunerceo, of Lisbon, Sept. 27.]
Prim, from on board the Zaragoza frigate, pub
ikhed on the 18th a manifesto, or rather an ap
peal to arms, in which he declared that the hour
of revolution had arrived—an extreme course,
certainly, but called for by the safety of the coun
try. Be announced that Generals Serrano and
Duke were to have come already, but had doubt
less been retarded by the bad weather. The doc •
ument terminated by the words, "Liberty for
ever! Viva the sovereign nationality!"- He sub
smently published another call to the people in
these words: .
SPAIVIARDS--Since I first addressed you the
movement has been seconded by Ban Fernando
Carraca and the town of Cadiz, supported by the
regiment of Cantabria, some infantry and the
carbineers. The province of Cadiz, with all its
forts, land and sea, is under arms. The people,
the army and the national squadron forever!

Minirster Marfort and the Queen—Who
ts starter* 7
At the moment of golbg to press we learn that
Marquis Concha, Marquis de la Havana and his
in other, the Marquis del 'Duero, have written to
the Queen to inform her that in consequence of
her refusal to go to Madrid alone—that is to say,
without M. Martori—they do not believe them
selves able to answer for the situation. On the
receipt of this communication the Queen is, said
to have been greatly excited and to have imme
diately ordered Pezuela, Count. do Cheste, to
come to tier In order to form:a complete Min
istry,which should be established at St. Sebastian.
The Figaro gives the following details concern
ing Marfort Marquis do Loja, Queen Isabella's
attendant: , He was born in the town from which
be takes his title and being of the same province
as Narvaez obtained a civil post from that Minis
ter and .was rapidly promoted in the Finance De
partment He afterwards attracted the notice of
tier Majesty, and beeanie 'successively Governor
Of Madrid, Senator, Minister of the Colonies,
Grand .Cross of several Spanish orders, received
the title of Marquis, and was appointed Inten
dant of the Palace. He is, however, exceedingly
unpopular out of doors for the severity which
be displayed towards the political prisoners in
1858, He is a tall, good looking man, with black
hair and beard, but not of polished manners.
[Perla (Sept. 25) Correspondence of the London Star.'
The existence of a secret treaty between
Prussia, Italy and the revolutionary party in
Spain, the object of which is to place Mario
Louise, Duchess of Montpeneler, on her sister's
throne, and thus realize ,Louls Philippe's and
Guizot's programme in contracting the Spanish
marriages, has now become "le secret de Fotichi
sidle." The Emperor has known of it for some
time. The general feeling in Paris is
one of utter disgust at the ingratitude
thus displayed by Italy to the only
Power which took up arms in defence of
her liberties, and without whose powerful and
efficient aid the double eagle of Austria would
still lay its claw on Lombardy and Venice, and
the white lilies of the Bourbons still flourish in
Naples and Sicily. It is vain to tell the French
politician that in return for the blood spilt at
Magenta and Solferino, and the treasure lavished
on the campaign which chased the Austrians
from. Tuscan), Modena, and Parma. France
obtained Savoy, with sunny and health-restor
ing Nice. He will tell you that the
Barnyards voted themselves French, and chose
the Emperor for their ruler. Du reste, their lan
guage has even in its patois more French than
Italian. On the boulevards yesterday evening
yell might have fancied yourself in the heart of
Madrid. One saw nothing but Spanish faces, and
hi and no language but that of the Castilian.
Vi hence this crowd of exiles and refugees has
sprung we all inquire. French news and French
politics are no longer discussed. Instead of
llonher and Jules Favre. the names
that recur in every conversation
are Gonzales Bravo and Prim. The
Gaaluis is the paper of the day. We have for
gotten the Figaro, and even La Lanterne, with
Bs red-brick cover, might reappear in the
klosques and excillt but a secondary degree of
interest. We are absorbed by Spain and Spanish
affairs, and the general feeling expressed is that
of sympathy with the revolutionary party, and
contempt for the Bourbon dynasty as represented
by Isabella IL The graceful, grucieuse. Duchess
of Montpensier is still remembered in Paris,
where as the Spanish bride she excited so much
admiration, her Southern beauty contrasting
SO strongly with the pale loveliness of her Coburg
sister-in-law, the fair Duchess of Nemours. Her
- candidature" for the Spanish Throne would not
be pnpopular in France, although peculiarly of
fenilve to the Court, inasmuch as her husband is
an Oxleanist Prince. That, the Empress sympa
thizesln the strongest manner with the (seen,
tbUre can be'no doubt, but the Emperor will not
be Influenced. Spanish affairs will not be swayed
by French counsels.
A Paris correspmfdent of the Now York Times
writes:
The visit of the Emperor of Russia to Potsdam,
and the Royal buggings which followed, are
Eiving great concern to the official journals here.
vents of this kind are always subject for sus
picion and jealousy, and it is natural
that in the present instance they should
give rise to speculations more or less un
tavorable to the sincerity of the King of Prus
sia's recent declarations at Kiel and Honabourg
The public mind here is again in a state of great
feverishness. People regard the revolution in
Spain as an event pregnant with political dan
gers, although for my own part I look upon it
as an additional guarantee for the preservation of
peace between France and Germany. This view,
which I took in a former letter, is confirmed in
an article which has just appeared in the Jour
zial de Pares. Speaking of the impressions
formed at Biarritz of the prospects of the rev
olution, it says: "The Emperor, we are assured,
would experience a certain f' sling of satisfaction
at seeing public attention diverted from German
affairs to the events in the Peninsula. He never
has been, moreover, a very fervent partisan of
the idea of a Spanish alliance, and he feels that
as regards the affairs of Rome, a Spanish Re
public, if such a thing were possible, would not
be less Catholic than Imperial France."
The Liberte says it has received sad details re
specting the Empress Charlotte. The unhappy
princess has had a relapse, and she is again en
tirely paralyzed by the fear of being poisoned.
She flies from everybody. For whole days she
remains sitting in a corner of her room without
motion; but when any one approaches her she
has a parozysm; she runs away eagerly to save
herself, and calls with a loud voice for 'help.
Not only her mental, but her bodily condition is
seriously changed, and gives rise to grave ap
prehensions.
Letter from Bishop Whipple to the In•
dian Peace Commission.
At Thursday's session of the Indian Commis
sion,in Chicago the following letter from Bishop
Whipple of Minnesota was read:
TRB3IONT House ; Oct. 7, 1868.—Gentlem.ent—
I write toyou—frely, as to a Commission ap
pointed by the nation to examine and redress the
wrongs which have been inflicted neon the In
diana, who are the wards of the Government.
Your commission was appointed at the earnest
request of Christian men, who have vainly at
tempted to secure justice to the Indians. To you
we all look, and of you the nation will require a
strict account. I feel more keenly this history
of shame because it casts a foul blot on the na
tion's honor; because I believe God is just, and
will require that we shall reap exactly what we
sow. The sad experience of a century ought
to teach us that where robbery and wrong
is the seed, blood will be the harvest. I am
aware of the fearful clamor of vengeance which
rises along our borkr. I know by the bitterness
of our own experience the horrors of savage
warfare. I have too many friends in nameless
graves lA:Loner one-plea for savage violence. But
even this does not and cannot release the claims
of justice, of humanity, and of our fear of God.
We are writing history, and as true as God's
words are true, if we continue the ,course we
have followed, His curse will fall on us and our
children.
There is no question that our Indian system is
a blrintler more than - ii crime, because its glaring
evils would have been redressed if it had ever
been calmly considered. We recognize them as
nations; we pledge them our faith; we enter on
solemn treaties, and these treaties are ratified as
with all foreign Powers, by the highest authority
in the nation. You know—every, man who ever
looked into onr'lndlan affairs knows—it is a
shameless lie. .The treaties are often conceived
in fraud, and made solely to put money in some
white man's pohket. We then send them agents,
knowing at the. time.wosend them that they must
steal; thab they cannot and will not live on their
pittance of salary. - 2 The agent and employds are

death, until, maddened with frenzy, be wreaks
bis vengeance on the innocent people of the
border.
Then follow our vain attempts at redress. In
stead of calmly looking at the causes of war and
redressing wrong, we Christian men wage a blind
war, often destroying our own friends, and it has
happened that we have wantonly murdered help
less women and children. We spend millions,
we kill ten of our own people to ono Indian, and
finally settle down on the devil's own idea tust
our only hope is in extermination. There is one
Being that can exterminate, and a nation with
half a million of graves over which the grass has
hardly grown ought to learn this truth.
I admit all that you can say of the difficulty;
but Ido know that, if we give God the will, He
will find ns the way. The army may, and must;
protect our people. It is a false protection if
they repeat the scenes which have taken place,
and which '
only serve to arouse into ten-fold
more of bate all the passions of a savage rade.
In many instances, if time were given, or if
friendly Indians were employed, murderers
would be given up by the Indians themselves;
and if not, we should only war on the guilty.
The people know that it is cheaper to feed than
to fight the Indians. There is a great heart in
the Saxon race which, although slow to act, will
redress wrongs. The Indians can be taught to
labor; they can receive the gospel. I know of
DO instance among our own race of greater fi
delity than that of some of those poor Indians
during the war..
I will not detain you longer. If yon will allow
me I will forward to you, in writing, the details
of the history of the. Sioux war, and the opera
tions of the Indian system in Minnesota, which I
made verbally to-day.
Peirait me to assure you of the sympathies : aid
and prayers of many who pity the helpless, and
who believe their cry ascends to God.
Yours respectfully, H. B. Wnrprus.

citexprenu's "BA3t."
It is the fate of genius to be imitated by booby
lam. If an author publishes a book in which
there is that novelty and originality which wins
popularity, some unimaginative bore is sure to
sit down and expand the characters into a feeble
sequel, or else steal the good things bodily to
adorn some wretchvi patchwork of his own. Or
if a versifier writes a song that catches the popu
lar ear, such, we will say as "Mother I've Came
Home to Die," some jangler of rhymes is uneasy
until he has perpetrated "a reply," in which he
endeavors to express the sentiments of the ma
ternal parent towards the unhappy youth who has
selected the domestic fireside for his mortuary
business. If a man stamps a good thing out
of pure gold, he may be sure that it will be imi
tated by a plodding worker in 'Dutch metal
There are those who have neither the creative
faculty, nor the moral sense which abhors theft.
The man who wrote Sam is one of these. Some
years ago a new figure appeared in comedy—
" Lord Dundreary." It was not very admirable,
but it was amusing, and it acquired great popu
larity. In the play, allusion was made to a con
tain brokher kiSam." This was a sufficient sug
gestion for a copyist who lay In wait.to travel in
to notoriety on my lord's reputation. Mr.; Do
Walden seized his pen and scratched off a drama
in which he made "Sam" the central figure. .
"Sam" is "Lord Dnndrearv" altered but not
improved; a cigar store Indian to the Greek
slave. The character possesses no individuality.
"Sam" is wholly unlike any human being that
has existed within the knowledge of men since
Noah came down out of Ararat, and began to
populate the world. At first, he conducts him
self in such an utterly imbecile manner, that we
determine him to be a silly, dull, and unamusing
fop: but at the last he playa the part of a refined
and well behaved gentleman. The two phases of
his character are altogether incongruous. If
be is one, he cannot be the other: A buffoom •
could not be so manly; a gentleman coultlnot
such an ass. The play revolves around this in
dividual, and is a suitable setting for such a
cheap gem. The plot has served in a
thousand dramas before this one, and is
perfectly patent from the beginning. The dra
matic situations are invariably worked up from
such old material as the unexpected entrance of
some "heavy father" or other, just at a time
when be is least wanted, and when his presence
brings confusion with it. This is below the level
of comedy, and would place the drama in the
rank of farces, if it were not that there is nothing
especially amusing in any of the situations, and
there is not a witty sentence, a good pun, or a
bit of sparkling humor in the entire dialogue.
The first three acts are so dreary and .desolate,
that the listener is oppressed with a sense of mist.
crable dissatisfaction, and feels that it would be
a relief if the lights could be turned out so that
he could go comfortably to sleep.
Mr. Chanfran 'acts his part faithfully;but fidelity
to the author's delineation, in this instance, is not
entirely creditable. If a man is a lotv comedian,
and plays well, we forget everything—grimaces,
contortions, extravagances—in the presence of
the rollicking fun which we. know belengs to the
character. But Mr. Chanfrau's acting excites
only a feeling of sympathy, and of regret that
an intelligent human being should play such fan
tastic tricks, indulge in such unnatural dis
tortions of his faae, and cut such idiotic
antics. He doubtless is a very worthy gentle-.
man, but the unprofessional mind is entirely un
able to comprehend how he can, consistently
with a proper opinion of himself, consent to do
"Sam" night after night. The popularity of the
impersonation, however,proves that it must con
tain something for which audiences have an af
finity. It Is quite as difficult to discover the
character and the whereabouts of this element,as
it is to give tangible shape to that "electro-bio
logy" and animal magnetism, about which
"Crockett" in•the play discourees so vaguely and
inappropriately.
