BOUCICAUI.T'S RIVAL.—When Boucicault
had made the fame of "The Shaughaun," and
added so greatly to its own fame at the same
time, he looked upon all who attempted to
adopt the character as usurpers, and even
resorted to the law to protect himself as the
representative Irish comedian under the co
pyright. law. The determination of the play
wright-aetor won for him much criticism,
some of it far from enviable; hut he succeed
ed in holding the lead in his great character
of Con. until the appearance of John T.
Hinds, who was at once taken up as a rival,
and by many critics as a superior to Bouci

cault. Of course Boucicault the critic, Bou
cicauit the writer and Boucicault the actor, be
came alarmed at the success of Mr. Hinds,
and readers of dramatic news remember
how long and how bitterly his opposition Was
kept up. Majjy people regard Mr. Bouci
cault as the leading dramatic critic of this
country, and it is not certain that he is not,
but the opinions of many very good critics
are recorded to the effect that Mr. Ilinds has
taken from him the laurels in "The Shaugh
aun." The character-comraedian is becom
ing a leading feature in dramas for American
use, and no other is so captivating as the hon
est. rolicking son of the Emerald Isle.— Kan

An Avenger of Garfield.
As the assassin Guittcau was being ta
ken from the court house to prison after
the adjournment of court Saturday after
noon. a stranger, mounted on a white
horse, rode up and fired two shots into
the van and then galloped away. One of
the shots took effect in the assassin's
right arm, iyflicting a slight wound. The
cowardly wretch piteously implored the
officers to hurry him into his cell and
when inside the bars became defiant and
impious.
Th° would-be ayeuger was fired at by
one of the officers in charge of the prison
er, and it Is believed the ball took effect,
but he escaped. He is suppossd to be
one of a band who have bound them
selves with an oath to kill the assassin if
by any means he escapes conviction in
court.
The avenger was subsequently appre
hendtd and proved to be a "crank" named
Jones.
