H. D. Mann & Co. JEFFERSON CITY: The Lesueur Grain Bill and the Carpen- ter-Pollard Railroad Bill, News Notes of the Doings of the State Solons at the Capital. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON City, April 18.—To-dav hus been quite lively inthe two houses, both passing a | Council coneurring, | is large number of bills, none of which are of very | great importance, however, nearly all being laws as they now stand upon the statute books. This evening various bills were ordered cn- The fight upon the street railroad It seems that at the mect- Louis delegation Wednesday members desired to aa excuse to and this morning they came in with a minority report; the discussion of which engendered some very bitter feel- ing. After a lively debate of about un hour, the minority report was voted down nearly unanimously, and the substitute re- ported. by the delegation adopted. The grain billhas not yet been reached, but will likely come up in the morning, and be not only warmly discussed but meet with a decided opposition. Twenty-threejvotes at the most is all that can be mustered to-night, and by morning it is not likely thatthat many can be found, And row from out the darkness of the State printing office comes the celebrated CARPENTER-POLLARD RAILROAD BILL. This bill, known as railroad bill number two, is, in reality, the offspring of the fertile brain of 8. D. Carpenter, who wrote up Pollard bill number one. The first gave the roads enormous rates of freight on almost everything to be carried—3o enormous, in fact, that the House did not take a second look at it. but quietly consigned it to oblivion. Thislast effort goes to the opposite extreme, and gives no roada living rate of freight. Carpenter, with his great enmity towards the St. Louis and San Francisco Roa, can only see one method of striking down said road, and that is by striking at all. The only excuse given for this gentleman's action is that be is crazy upon this one subject, and deserves the sympathy of the community. The bill was laid before the House this evening and laid over. To-morrow very little business will be trans- acted, and the two houses will likely adjourn over till Monday morning. The appointment ot Tobacco Inspector is the next thing of interest onthe programine. Mr. B. F. Hammett, present incumbent, will likely be reappointed, asthere is very little oppo- sition and he has given great satisfaction. several of the A Close Call. Ernest Fink, a young man empioyed in Gunt’s quarry, near the Work-bouse, was severely injured through the cavingof a bank of sand at 8:30 o’clock yesterday morning. He was extricated from his perilous position by some tellow-workmen, conveyed to his resi- dence on Osceola street, between the String- town and Carondelet roads, and Dr. Gillway called in attendance. Ou an examination, it was found that three of his ribs were fractured and that ne had sustained internal injuries. eee E. B. Ecxstrerm & Co.'s Scoop Bonnets in Black and White Tape and French Chip.

Does it not become thought- ful Democrats to consider promptly whether confabulations and contrivances to pro- mote or defeat the premature candidacy of Mr. Tilden ona retrospective issue are or are not likely to strengthen the conserva- tive Democrats of the country for meeting this question fairly and dealing with it wisely.” NOT THE DEMOCRACY. The action of the majority of the House of Representatives in refusing to adopt ar- ticles of-4tiip€éachment against State Treas- urer Gates is the action of 69 individuals, and not of the Missouri Democracy. The Missouri Democracy is composed of abeut a quarter of a million of men, who, whatever faults they may have, desire hon- orable, honest public servants, dislike cor- ruptionists, and hate as well as despise those who, in violation of honor and honesty, trust and confidence, law and oath, robbed them of their hundreds of thousands of dollars earned by hard woxk ip hard times. To hold this great army of 250,000 men responsible for political crime and corrup- tion which they themselves feel most seri- ously is absurd. To hold that they ap- prove, as Republican partisans Claim, of the robbery of their own money, the abuse ot their owh confidence, the injury of their own interests, is preposterous. The very opposite is true. Every sign and indication points to the tense indignation of the great masses of the honest Democracy of this State. Every most in- Democratic paper in this city, English or German, has protested against the course of the Legislature. Every Democratic pa- per in the State, with only two or three ex- ceptions, has done the same. Every prom- inent representative Democrat, except a very few who may be in the Treasury ring, has done the If a vote could be tuken in this city, for instance, every Dem- cast in same. ocratic vote would be favor of repudiating and condemning the action of the Jefferson City. Whatever differences of opinion may exist between the Republican and Post-Dts- sixty-nine in PAT u, the Anzeiger and Amerika, they all agree that the voice of the party which they support has not been heard but misrepre- sented by the action of the 69. The great Democracy of this State is not responsible for them. It utterly repudiates their action. There are 250,000 Democratic voters in this State. There are not 250 who have any sympathy with the Treasury ring. 93 Is it fair to make the 250,000 responsible for the action of afew thieyes and their weak dupes? * — Taking in Texas.

Sr. PETERSBUKG, April 19.—Drhe ukase order- ing the appointment of a Governor-General for the six most populous districts with perfectly despotic powers begins by stating that recent events have shown that there exists in Russia a band of criminals who, though not numerous, are very determined and aim at UNDERMINING THE STATE. After referring to the recent murderousat- tacks upon the higher officials and the attempt at assassination of the Emperor,the ukase con- tinues: ¥‘These crimes have made necessary the provisional adoption of exceptionai meas ures to permit of EXEMPLERY PUNISHMENT of the guilty persons and provide the Govern- ment officials with thc necessary powers for maintaining order.’’ The ukase proceeds to announee the provis- ional appointwent of the Governors-General of St. Petersburg, Charkoff and Odessa, invested with extended and extraordinary power. SIMILAR POWERS are conferred upon the Governors-General of Moscow, Kieffand Warsaw. The civil admin- istration in the mentioned distriets is placed under the control of the Governors-General in the same manner as they are subordinate to the commander-in-chief of the army in time of war in the districts where MARTIAL LAW has been proclaimed. The control of all the educational establisliments is vested in the Governors-General, who are also empowered to send before the mihtary tribunal all civilians inthe districta in which they preside. The Governors-Genéral are further authorized to SUMMARILY REMOVE from their respective -districts all persons whose continued residence may be considered dangerous; to order the arrest of any persons whatsoever on their own judgment and re- sponsibility ;to suppress temporarily or per- manently any newspupers or periodicals should they appeur to follow SUBVERSIVE TENDENCIES and generally to adopt such measures as they muy consider necessary for the preservation of public peace.

Fauntleroy obtained a judgement uguinst the city ot Hannibal ona number of defuulted coupons on Hannibal bonds issued at Hannibal and payable at a New York bank. In awarding judgment Judge Dillon allowed 6 per cent interest, the legal rate under Mis- sourilaws. The plaintiff wanted 8 per cent, the legal rate of interest in New York. and took the position that interest on bonds must conform to the laws of the State in which the bonds are payable, and not to the laws of the State in which the bonds ure issued. The United States Circuit Court decided aguinst the plain tiff, andthe case goes to the Supreme Court of the United States. Court Notes.

WASHINGTON. Secretary Sherman on the Refund- ing Certificates. - — Session of the Hcuse—National Board of Health — Treasury Notes — Cap- ital Gossip. The Refunding Loan, By Western Associated Press. WASHINGTON, April 19.—Secretary Sherman says he is a good deal embarrassed by the offer of the associated bankers totake the whole of the retunding certificates. He did not believe they had any right to demand these certifi- cutes under the cireular of SApril 16. They claimed the retusal ot their offer ot one half per cent premium when the certifi- cates were offered in open market at pur and uccrued interest SEEMED RATHER HARD, but they were compensated for this by having three months in which to close the transaction. It was manifestly the policy of the law to give persens of limited means an portunity to subscribe, a in which the secretary heartily concurs, and banks and bankers as well. Thecircular issued yesterday gives no- tice of sixty duys, which ends June 17th, to all persons who desire these refunding certifi- cutes to apply for them in sums not to exceed one hundred dollars TO ANY PERSON at one time, and efforts will be made to place the certificates in the bands of the postmasters and every officer of the United States who, under the law, can be trusted with public mon- ey. It is hoped that within the sixty days the whole amount of refunding certificates, about 835,000,000, will be suid; if not, the of- ter of the associated banks will then be accept- ea for what remuins,as ther funddling of 10-408 is mandatory and it wili by thattime be abso- Jutely necessary to provide means in some way to meet the calls. A call forthe reinuinder of the 10-40s will be issued in.a few days. AMENDED. The circular issued yesterday by the Secre- tary of the lreasurv in relation to the sale ot the refunding certificates has been amended 4; follows: Department circular No. 60 of April 16, 1879, is hereby rescinded. All tour per cent bonds therein offered for sale having been sold, the $10 refunding certificates will be issued for lawful money in sums not toexceed $100 at one time by the Treasurer and Assistang, Treasurers oi the United States and by all pub- lic officers bonded FOR THAT PURPOSE. They will not be issued hereafter upon the certificate of any national bank depository. Commissions on such issues heretofore or here- after made will be allowed at the rate one-eigut ot 1 per cent on the aggregute of $1,000 with- out regard to the period in which such ex- changes ure wade. Ihis cireular will remain in force for sixty days ortill the 10-40 bonds now Outstanding are covered by the saies, and no longer. It is the desire of the department to give TO EVERY CITIZEN OF TUE UNITED STATES an opportunity to invest in limited sums his savings in these certificates and accrued inter- est at the close of business on the 17th of June. The offer already made for the four per cent bonds is sufficient to cover the 10-tu bonds then outstanding, if uuy will be accepted, The depurtment’s circulars ot Maren 12 and 26, 1879, ure modified accordingly.

Hause. The journal this morning embodied for the first time petitions deposited in the box, and question wus raised vy Mr. Gartieid, who-gex- pressed a hope that it would not pass into pre- cecent. An explanation was made by the Speaker as . to the rensons why he hud directed this to be done, the principal onc being that under the existing circumstances,while petitions and me- morials are being presented, accompanied by bills, the question as to which committees they should be referred to becomes important, and already differences had arisen bet ween the Chir and the members presenting the peti- tions, as to their proper reference. It was theretore deemed proper that the House itself should have an opportunity of passing on the question. In the course of the discussion it was suggest- ed by Frye it might be tound there would be no objection whatever to the introduction of bills next Monday, however absurd they should be. The matter was finally referred to the Com- mitttee on Rules. The subsidiary silver eoins bill then came up. as unfinished business of the morning hour.

He had put the goodsto him at the very lowest prices. We have heid out noinducements to Col, Willes and would scorn to do such a thing.

The witnesses examined comprised about all those of whom the Warden has pur- chased supplies in this city. Ine members of the committce are UNANIMOUS in their praise of the present good and cconom- Ful munggement of the Penitentiary. They have been examining the books of the institu- Aion, and pronounce the accounts correct in ull particulars. Their report will no doubt be | ‘that the gharges brought against Col.

Hold- ers of No.2 red were stiff and above quota- tions because of the light stocks and a belief in better figures to come.

A few cars of No. 2 sold at $1 045; to a specu- lative buyer, and later a miller took a couple of ears at $105. At the close holders were offering at 81 05, with $1 04% bid.

Its Present and Its Future--- Grandeur of the Lone Growth and ar State. * “Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, TEX., April 17.—Abd@ut two weeks ago your correspondent visited this place an made a few short notes concerning the ‘‘Hub’’ Of Central and Northern Texas, and spoke ¢oncerning the Weir Plow Company. South Bend Iron Works and other firms. This will be a simple continuation of our tormer article, an d first let us speak concerning the growth of Drllas county and its resources. _ Jn 1846 this county was organized, although the first settlement had been made five veurs previous. The growtli of the farming element “his been gradual and steady, and to- day. there is not a county in the State that can make a etter showing. Dallas county con- tains some of the riches: and best lands to be found in this or any other State. The cotton and wheat product is the finest here of any portion of the Southwest. “The soil is extremely fertile, and more return can be got tor labor expended than one would believe possible. Dallas, the county seat, is a thriving and prosperous city’ of about 18,000 inhabitants, and is situated in almost the ex- act geographic center ofthe county. The city Wus first lait off in 1848. and for many years its growth was rather slow. The clear-sighted citizens of the cit¥Svowever, elung to the hope that someday this Woula be the commercial center ot Northern Texas, and, in spite of all sorts of discourage- ments and perplexities, still worked for the upbuilding of Dallas, and after twenty-six years ot bard struggling they began to reap the reward of years ol patieut waiting and work- ing. In 1872 the H. & T. C. R. R. reached the city. Soon after-the Texas and Pacific also came, to be followed by the D. & W. R. u., und then the future prosperity of Dallas be- came a ceitainty. In 72 the population was 1,500, and betore the close of ’73 this num ver had become 7,063. 8 From this on tho growth of the town was rapid, and at the same time of a substantial type, and soon the magnificent business Dlocks, which to-day, are such an orna— ment to the city, begun to EO up on every side. Various companies representing heavy interests located here, and to-day Dallas is recognized us being a distribut- ing point for the entire State. The streets pitsent irom duay,to day new aspects of life and the rapidity $f movement and change is such as to make Me scene to the beholder pan- oraniic.

Many of those who to-day rank as among the wealth- iest and most prosperous men of the city, | came here ulew years igo without anrthing except u stout heart and Willing hands, aud | they have literally worked out their own for- | tunes and earned their conspicuous success. Dallas is peculiar as being the headquarters fer all the leading machine and agricuitural inter- €sis of the State. Your correspondent spent a full dav and a half in roaming uround turough these establishments, and further on we will give our readers some idea of the magnitude of mis branch of the city’s industries. DALLAS NOTEL COMPANY. For several years Dallas has sustainod the reputation of having the finest hotel accomino- dations of any Southwestern city. About a year ago Messrs. Whitla & Pepper conccived the idea of uniting the two large hotels, the Le ‘Grand andthe Windsor, which stand opposite exch other. into one grand hostelry, and with this end in view built a hundseme bridge across one of the main streets of the Clty, thus connecting bot! hotels into one, and to-day Dallas boasts of the finest and most complete hotel structure in all the* “Stage of Texas. Col, Whitla, the president And manager of the hotel co: npany, is a gea- ticman who has made it tne study ot a lifetime tocaterto the wants ofthe traveling public, andin his present enterprise he has reached the zenith of his success. The two hotels combined have 115 clegant slecping rcoms, and there are to be found all the appoimtments ofa first-class hotel in tue way of u telegraph office and other metro- politan features. The table d’hote is such as to defy competition, and the only trorble is for onc to refrain from stowing away too much of the elegant supply placed before him. Too much @nnot pe said in praise of the Le Grand-Windsor Hotel, and with Col, Whitla At its tread, the success of the enterprise is as- SPIKE, as usual, wandered all aver the city and man- aged to run across mary of the most prominent jeutures of the place. One of the first firms we would mention isthe real estate agency 01 JONES AND MUKPHY. These genticmen came to this city when it was us yet in embryo, and they have grown with itiromthe very start. They are doing the main business ot Central Texas in their line. They represent over 200,000 acres of the best farming lands inthe State, and are able to sup- ply ali the demands m: ide on them for first- class property. Tbe innumerable advantages that make Texas so pre-eminent asa point of settlement are the meuns that these gentlemen employ to advance the intezests ot this section of country. Those who desire to invest in lands can never do better than come to Central Texas. The land here produces in great variety mar- Kketable products both of the temperute and tropical zones. Living is cheaper and better, becuuse of the abundance ot all that consti- tutes the necessaries of life, und vecause of the facility with which they'are prognced. Then, uguin, the increase inne value of lands has been in this section the lutgest and most rapid, and is most certain to continue. Further, the best lands can be obtained here without having to pay u speculator’s margin. Jones & Murphy pr de themselves, as a firm, on giving to all their customers the tu worth of their moncy, and one can rest satis- fied that in buying lands here be is getting a perfect title throughout. The improved lands rune from 5810 to $25 per acre, wiile the rougher lands cun be got from §2to $5. This firm are also largely engaged in the handling of Teal estate in the city. and there is hardiya want inthe way of property that they canuot meet the demand. As Dallas is a natur Northern Texas, u grea make their headquarfer re,and we novice in the wholesale grucery lin ne house of M. ULLMAN AND CO, as ono of the lending establishments.

Two traveling salesmen keep things lively around the wholesale departinent inthe way of orders. Their goods go tor 400 miles west, and while your correspondent was making the round of the establishment, a nam- ber of teams were loading up with goods that were to go three hundred miles on to the ‘frontier. a T.

GANNON BROS. is the firm name of the youngest bank in the city, and, although buta few months old, this firm has made many warm friends among some ofthe most prominent business men ot Dallas, and the number is increasing every day. Both gentlemen ure fully experienced in their business, huving served as clerks in Chi- cago und Dallus banks for alput seven yeurs, thus becoming thoroughly conversant with all the ins apd outs of their profession. The next feature in the wholesale line is that of drugs. CONNOR AND WALKER are the oldest wholesale firm in the city, and have dispensed during the past nine years enough ‘‘pizen stuff’’ to have filled a first-class graveyard. This firm is engaged in a decidedly paving business, and are annualiy selling over $140,000 worth of drugs aud drugeists’ sun- dries. Mr. W. C. Connor. the senior partner, is one of Dallas’ most prominent citizens, he being President of the Water Works Company, president of the State Firemen’s Association, und also a prominent Mason.

Local Art Notes. Prof. Halsey C. Ives delivered a lecture on Tuesday night last at Washington University which was illustrated by numerous stereopti- con views of all of the famous pieces of archi- tecture in and about London. It was very in- teresting, and was listened to attentively by the audience present. At its close, referring to the Art Department of the University, Prof. Ives said the evening class now numbered 104, and a large number of applications had been refused on account of the lack of teachers, as the present corps could not find time enough to attend to them. The Sketch Club meets on next Wednesday night at its permanent quarters over the Prov- ident Savings Bank on Olive street. As four weeks’ interval has oceurred since the last mecting, two sets of sketches will be brought in, andthe rooms .will be duly dedicated. The West’’ forms the theme of Mr. Ruck- stuhl’s series, and the subject selected by Mr. Biddle is Beppo, by Lord Byron. The Sketch Club is entering on its second year with renewed prosperity, and it bids fair to become one of the institutions of St. Louis. The sale of pictures, statuary,etc..at Pettes & Leathe’s gallery was well attended on Tues- day and Wednesday nights. On the first night the bidding was not very spirited, and the prices realized for good pictures were quite low. Asarule, the works by St. Louis artists brought the best prices, those by Harry Chase taking the lead, The Jetty at Fecamp, a good-sized picture by this artist, bringing $175, which was the highest price paid for any canvas. On Wednesday night, the audi- ence scemed to have assembled = cn- tirely to purchase the copies of the old masters, statuary and articles of vertu which were included in the collection. Fully four-fifths of all the paintings were al- lowed to pass almost without a bid, but when the copies were announced by the auctionear the bidding at once became spirited, The „Claude Loraine’’ brought $200, the Ra- phael, $210; the Salvator Rosa, $185; one.

There has been a sad falling off here in the development of woman in a business capacity. The woman’s famous Tea Company went to the winds. Women would not accept the position as subordinate merchants. The com- pany had money enough and enterprise enough, but two womenin New York could not retail teaall overthe land. Miss King bought a ship and fitted her out for C anton. She is detained in Honolulu and can not get freight enough to come home. Thirty years ago the heaviest real estate operators were women. Eleven in number were constant visitors at the Real Estate Exchange. There are but two of these operators now in business; both of them maiden ladies. Miss St. Johns is said to be worth $7,000,000. She is ninety-three years of age. She very fre- quently appeared at the real estate sales, when a block of houses was up, with a certified check of $500,000, Miss Susan A. King is a Maine girl.

It might have been all Eden if it were not half wilderness. Larger than the six New England States, it embraces varieties of soil, surface and climate which make it Italy or Switzerland as you chance to travel over its mountains or tarry amidst the perpetual verdure of its sunny vales. This valley of Mesilla, bulwarked by mountains on the east and west, and watered by che Rio Grande, flowing on its winding course to a southern sea, has all the elements of health, beauty and fertility, and careful culture would make it hke the garden of God. The pleasanttown of Mesilla, on the right bank of the ‘‘great river,’’ has fairly caught the spirit of the age, and within 1 few « years has grown from the condition of a village of mud huts, filled with Greasers, Gringos and a sprinkling of nomadic savages, into a mod- ern town, with many good buildings—hotels, stores and residences—and inhabited by an in- tellgent and go-ahead sort of people. TALK WITH COL. BOYLE, But I did not commence this letter for the purpose fof writing particulars about Mesilla or apy other town, but to say afew words concerning this Territory and Arizona, the two forming a parallelogram more than 300 miles wide and 600 long, extending from the Indian Territory to Southern Cali- fornia, and containing undeveloped resources, especially mineral, that will, ere long, over- shadow the bonanzas of Nevada and Colorado, and add many millions annually to the aggre- gate and active wealth of the country. Iam the better able to write intelligently on this subject after an interview with my long time friend, Col. Wm. G. Boyle, whois now de- voting his time anda large amount of capital to the work of exploring and developing the rich mineral treasures of both these territories. The Colonel is a man of the high- est order of intelligence and culture, who has added practical to theoretical knowledge by years of travel and close observation in all parts of the world. For the last few years hit attention has been specially directed to the mineral resources of Arizona and New Mexi- co, more particular-y of the former. Having located a large number of rich claims in that territory, both English and American capital- ists have made handsome investments of cap- ital for the purehase of machinery and the working of the mines. He is also interested with Col. J. B. Price. the great mail contrac- tor for these territories, in developing some rich silver mines near Silver City, about one hundred miles west of this place. While Col. Boyle would like to see the Texas Pacific Rail- road built through these terriories near the Mexican boundary, believing it to be a work of supreme necessity to the South and Southwest, he naturally hails with pleasure the advent of the Atehison, To- peka and Santa Fe,and its prospective junction with the Southern Pacitic of California, as af- fording the first means of transportation be- tween the silver fields of the Southwest and the great commercial centers of the Mississip- pi Valley and the Atlantie coast. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES OF WEST. But the Colonel is not bewildered or ab- sorbed by the bright glamour of gold nugget» or silver bullion. Having traveled over these two territories in every direction, and care- fully observed their fitness for farming and stock raising, he gives it as bis opinion that with the fertile valleys along the numerous streams where irrigation will produce two good crops a year, and the nutritious grasses spread over many millions of acres, these ter- ritories would sustain an immense population as the result of their agricultural and pastoral industries. Think of Dan Perea with his 200,000 sheep and a whole regiment of shep- herds scattered over pastures two hundred miles in length. Speaking of New Mexico, he says much of its 100,000 square miles is good arable land; it has the valleys of the Rio Grande, Pecos, Gila and their tributaries, and a few mountain val- leys of aw altitude so high as to come within the range of seasonable rains. There is pas- turage for millions Of cattle, sheep and horses that has no equal on the tinent. yet itis unoccupied, because nown. The [ands which cannot be irrigated produce rich grasses on which countless herds of cattle and sheep may pasture the year round, requiring no other food or shelter than such as they can find in their ranges, and no “are but that of the herdsman to keep them together. These lands are never covered by snows which lie for two days, or that cover the crass from the bite of the stock. The perennial grasses are always green at the bot- THE SOUTH- | tom and the tops are hay, as are also the an- nual grasses which spring up with the summer rains, and fill all the ground not occupied by the perennial*.

We give a few extracts that are worthy of note: The experiment has been tried with = cellent results in Boston and Providence, and indeed, in our own city sewing is alread taught in some of the primary departments. of Education was instructed to consider the propriety of introducing into the girls’ depart- meuts instruction in sewing and needle-work us one 7S th course. rly in June the committee recom- mended that i the primary schools the girls studying in the first grade should omit object body and animals, and in place thereof be taught sewin This report was adopted dur- ing the fo lowing month, and in the present manual of “thé Boatd of Education may be found this entry: instruction in sew- ing may be given to female pupils of primary schools and departments.

This is. the object of the appeal which has been submitted to the board with the signa- tures of 500 ladies of the highest social stand- ing. The position has something besides social influence behind it. These ladies are directing the work of the principal benevolent associa - tions which extend a helping hand tothe com- mon sisterhood of woman, and they speak from mature experience when they insist that sewing must be taught in our public schools. Only too often girls leave these schools with possibly extensive knowledge of many sciences, ologies, etc., that have no practical value, and with no knowledge at all of one of the absolute necessities in the life of every woman in moderate or reduced cir- cumstances—namely, plain sewing. It is more than time that this should be considered and a reform instituted. Assurance for Maidens.

They may, indeed, find husbands, and they are, in fact preparing for married life. Still, chances for marriage are, the most possible. So that one ‘more bitter care adced to the many which press upon father of a family with acomfortable income— the uncertainty about his daughters’ future. It is true that be can, and ought to, insure his life, and thus protect his family: but he may desire to afford a certain independence to his daughters during bis own they do not marry.

Taylor's Destruction and Reconstruction. ‘* Destruction and Keconstruction,’’ the last, almost the posthumous work of the late Rich- ard Taylor, is a book written by an actor i: scenes in American history: as he suys himself, *‘he sat at the cradle of the Confederacy and followed its hearse.’’ Ile was aua delegate to the Charles- ton Convention, and was present when the ‘*Trans-Mississippi Departinent,’’ in the persons of Generals Price, Buckner andzBrent, came in from Shreveport and surrendered Canby.

It was for statesmen, not soldiers, to deal with the fu- ture. The President said Beauregara should coma, after consultation with Hood and decide the movements of but that he was distressed I ‘replied that it was my duty to express my sen- timents frankly to him when he asked tor them, though there would be au impropriety in giving utterunce to them before others, but I did not admit the gloom. In fact, I nad cut intothis game with eyes wide open, and felt thacin staking life, fortune, and the future of my Children, the chances were against sus- cess. It was not for me, then, to whimper when the cards were bad; that was the rigist ot those wko were convinced there would be no war, or, at most, a holiday affair iu wien everybody could display heroism. With much other talk we wore through the night. In the morning he left, as he — and I returned to Selma. My noxt ing with President Davis was at Fortress Hon e. One of Bob Toombs’ opinions: Inthe past autumn Cassius Clay, of ken- tucky, killed a colored man who had attacked him. For more thau thirty years Mr. Clay had ad vocated the abolition of slavery, and at the risk otf hislife. Diniug With Toombs in New York, just efter the evest, he said to me: Seen the story about old) Cassius Clay? Been an Abolitionist all his days, and ends by shooting a nigger. I knew he would.’’ A droll fellow is to- bert Toombs. Full of talent and weliinstiucted, he affects quaint provincial forms of speech. His influence in Georgia is great, and he is a man to know. After Taylor had surrendered to Genera! Canby hetook dinner with that officer, ‘and but one thing marred the hospitality that was ottered him.

If the Hungarian music is of Gipsy origin why is it that the Gipsies of Spain, Russia, Scotland and other countries hive never cre- | ated music? The Hungarian peas- ants despise the Gipsies, and treat them like slaves; but the cunning Gipsies are well aware of the fr antic love of the Hungarians for danc- ing and wine, and little by little they have taken the national airs and transformed them into dance music. The Gipsies invented the czimbal, a sort of large zither, the strings of which are struck by. two hammers. They also introduced the violin into Hungary. The only musical instrument possessed by the Hungarians was the simplest form of whistle, made from a willow twig. This primitive in- strument is still the best adupted to render the pure Hungarian music with its peculiar rhythm, snd there are péasants to-day who play with astonishing skill upon this whistle. ’ — Signor Susini, the veteran opera basso, who has beep engaged by Colonel Mapleson for a term of years, and who sailed for Enrope on Thursday, made bis debut in Genoa in 1849, whence he went to Paris and London under the management of Mr. Lumley.

In the latter piece, brought out at Drury Lane in the year 1707, the lab rintnine bower, the furious Eleanor and the poisoned bowl were conspicuously presented.

Speaking of Chinese theatricals in Sacra- mento, the Reecord-Union says: There was no performance at the Chinese Theater Tues- day night, the drama that has been running during the previous ten days having been con- cluded. Last night a new one, about thirty days long, was commenced. By way of show- ing their enterprise and liberality, the theat- rical troupe gave a free matinee Tuesday af- ternoon, which was attended by many white people, including several ladies. The author of Our Boys,*’ which has been played over thirteen hundred consecu- tive times at the Vaudeville Theater, London, being the most successful comedy of modern times, was born in Manchester in 1835. His giandfather, a clergyman of the Church Rnodandi wits first cousin to Lord Byron. The fiist work fromthe pen of H. J. Byron was a burlesque of Fra Diavolo, produced at the Strand Theater, London, in 1858, which met with success. Byron commenced tife as a medical student, which he very soon aban- dened for the stage, and after a short experi- ence as an actor he took up the study of law. The suceess of his burlesque, produced while he was a law student, caused him to quit 8 Blackstone and turn his pen in the direction of the drama. He was associated with Miss Marie Wilton in the Prince of Wales Theater. for which some of his most attractive pieces were written. His works are probably better known than those of any modern playwright. The talent of the late Tom Robertson was dis- covered by him, also that of Gilbert, the au- thor of ‘*Pinafore,’’ both of whom Byron ussisted in bringing before the notice of the public. Many of our stars owe their success to the assistance received from Byron’s pen. The - Crushed Tragedian’’ produced by Sothern was first played in London under the title of ‘*The Prompter’s Box, and after- wurd slightly altered under the title 'I Two Stars; or, The Footlights and the Fireside. Beside his labors as a dramatic author, Byron is a novelist of some reputation and a contrib- utor to Punch and other journals. He has also appeare d on the stage in many of the characters of his own creation.

The factis that under the protracted influence of disappointment | and pecuniary difficulties the great artist has been lately laboring under softening of the brain. The invasion of the disease having ns- sumed a disquieting character, it has been found necessary by his friends to put him un- der medical supervision. There is nothing akin to madness im his case; he is always sober in temper and gentle in manners. But there is reason te fear lest he should linger long in a hopeless condition.

Itis high art—very high, 150 feet. All day long people stand on the floor of the rotanda and look up, and tell each other that he is taken up and down in the sort of cage that swings at the side of the scaffold. Then they look at the pictures and wonder who the man is who stands in front of the great dial. and who is dead under that pall,, and what it is all about. These are strangers mostly, and they never tire of looking and w oudering, and when they cateh a glimpse of the mason moving about on the se if old, they tell each to Look! there he is, and ‘when they go home from their Washington visit they tell their friends and neighbors how they saw Brumidi working at the frescoes away up under the dome.
