? Wot (tffjaflt??01t jtoilg f?efog, i VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 1350. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1870._ ._ SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. [FROS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON*, April 19. Commissioner Delano has issued an order that Thou pson's national revenue stamp cancel? ler may i>e used upon instruments, documents, writings and papers mentioned and described In schedule B, internal revenue laws. This ls the oaly one o? the machines prescribed by thc com? missioner which cuts tfce date through the-stamp and document, fully Identifying one with the other. Stephen Presto?, a white man, has arrived as Baytien Minister. Colonel A. 0. Hack, appointed inspoctor of na? tional cemeteries, will soon proceed Southward. The Senate Judiciary Committee to-day com? menced the examination of witnesses in relation to alleged attempts to secure the defeat of the Bingham amendment by improper means. Judge James Hughes, deputy postmaster Porter, of this city, and H. J. Randall, correspondent of the Cin? cinnati Commercial, were examined. It ls un? derstood that evidence was elicited going to show that railroad bonds endorsed by the State of Geor^gta were offered by outside parties to secure the votes of senators against thc Bingham amend? ment. Ot^ier witnesses have been subpeenocd. A. E. Boone, who testified that he was compelled to leave the Tennessee House in consequence of his politics, was before the Reconstruction Com? mittee to-day, regarding Tennessee. He was met with affidavits that he lort his home in conse? quence of a private quarrel. CONGRESSIONAL-HOtTSE. in the House Butler, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution abolishing the income tax, which was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. The New York Posto?lce was then discussed for two hours, when the case of Sypher vs. St. Mar? tin, contestants from Louisiana, was considered. Kerr made a masterly effort on behalf of the people of Louisiana. Great interest attaches to the ques? tion. The vote will be taken tc-morrow morning. The chances seem to be that Sypher will not get the seat, and St. Martin being declared ineligl. ble, the seat will remain vacant. The House ls in session to-night on the tariff, pig iron still pend? ing. SENATE. In the Senate Chandler offered an amendment to the corruption resolution, directing the Com? mittee on the Judiciary to inquire whether rebel6 had attempted to use corrupt influence to secure vote3 on the Georgia bill. Ferry objected and the motion went over. Chandler offered a resolution requesting the President to appoint two commissioners to open negotiations with Ute people of Wlnnepeg with a view to annexation. The Georgia bUI wa*.< resumed and discussed to the recess wltb Schurz on the floor. The Senate reassembled at ball-past seven, and a vote will doubtless be reached before morning. 0 P. M.-The Senate is still In session. Schurz oppdsed the schemes cf designing men within tlie Republican party. Trumbull called attention to a recent speech to a crowd in this city by a member of the Senate, in which the statement was made that the speaker had reconnoitred the Senate and the Kingham amendment would be defeated. He denounced this attempt to intimi? date the Senate. Trumbull will probably speak for an hour or two, when the vote will be taken. TUAT AMNESTY BUSINESS. WHY THE PRESIEENT BACKED DOWN". Thc .Bucabao Siorlea from the South Tho Evidence against General How? ard-The * rtciimen't Burean Rin; Our Foreign Failure?. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, April IS. The special dispatches to THE NEWS stated some two weeks since that there had been an in? fluence brought to bear to induce the Presideat to withhold thc special message he had prepared to 3end to Congress, recommending general am? nesty, when the work of Radical reconstruction was finished, by the admission of Georgia; but it was not believed then that Grant would prove weak enough to yield a policy he had gone so far In approving, as to prepare a special document setting forth ta Congress his reasons for it. Now, however, there ls no longer any donbt. He Inform? ed the Cabinet on Fri lay, as telegraphed you, that ; the condition of 50C?fcty in the South was such, that ; he had abandor ed his intention of asking Congress : to pass a general act removing all political disa- i unities imposed by the Fourteenth ameudmcnt. ; The President has no official information that there are any outrages in the South. He has merely swallowed the bugaboo stories of Bul? lock and Company, which have been reinforced by the slanders of the Texas carpet-baggers, that there have been, for Instance, three thousand murders in that State since the close of the war ! It is a notorious fact that the Washington Chroni? cle manufactures its daily pabulum of so-called outrages, and keeps an Itinerant ex-agent and , minister of the Freedmen's Bureau wandering through the South to keep up the excitement. "You can always tell," sai '. Mr. Beck, of Ken- , tucky, In a recent debate, "when there ls to be ' a new move In the reconstruction programme, for . the Washington Chronicle for a day or two before always comes out with hair a column or so of newly discovered outrages lu the South." That is just about the truth of it, and the rebuke ad? ministered to the notorious Governor Bullock by , the Radical Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, who called the attention of the Senate the other day "to the presence or toto creature lobbying oa the Senate floor when he oSgai to be at home sup? pressing the outrages he ls constantly talking about," proves lt. You will notice that it is the * carpet-bag element all thc way through that at? tempts to postpone general amnesty. Greeley ind Becher and other leading Northern Rcpubli- j cans lu.% e seen no reason to chanda their minds, r but favor that Uberal policy as warmly now as f they have heretofore. Possibly before the ead or ( the session Grant may decide to come out in fa- j vor of it again, bat now he ls squarely opposed j to it*. i There ls a pretty fair prospect, nniess the in? vestigation is rendered grossly partisan, that General Howard, the commlssiouer of the Freed? men's Bureau, will be thoroughly show nap as i the most complete hypocrite or thc age. The ; ..whirligig of time," sooner or later, reaches just ; such men, and ia hts case, tt has already been i proven that he hos thrown the cloak or religion 1 over some of thc most remarkable rascalities of ! the day. The evidence thus far taken shows that he appropriated nearly a quarter of a mil? lion of dollars out of the Freedmen's Bureau fund of the United States Treasury to pay for the erection of the negro institution here, known an the Howard University, and that he did this without a scintilla of law or construction or law authorizing it. Meu are serving terms in the penitentiary for "appropriating" less sums than this out of the public treasury. But he has not. stopped lhere. Ue had a pet .church he wanted to foster here, and so he took ?18,000 more ont of the United States Treasury, without authority or law, and bough: thc bonds or the church. These bonds h*we no marketable value whatever, and even li they did, lt would be nev? ertheless a misappropriation of public funds to bay them. But Howard lins pot been thc only guilty officer: Tor the evidence shows thc exist once or a regular Freedmen's Bureau Ring, ai; of .v;?otn have suddenly grown rich. Thc President, lt ls known from his expressions to senators, ls very crest-fallen over the persis? tent failure that greets every step of his foreign policy. He struggled hard to save the annexa? tion scheme of San Domingo. -He has failed in hisjfcaban programme, while Fish has not :ecov ered from the terrible snubbing that Clarendon gave him in February, when he accused him of deliberately suppressing au Important dispatch from the history of the correspondence on the Alabama claims matter. Grant evidently feels that there is reason in ail this for a change in the Cabinet; and, in truth, lt may be added, that In the best Informed quarters it is believed that, both Hoar and Fish will be requested to resign before the fall elections. In the Senate a bill has been reported by Mr. Sprague, providing that on payment to the Cnited States or the tas, penalty and costs charged against Prof-peet Hill plantation, Dawfus kte Island, Saint Luke's Parish, South Carolina, with ten per centum Interest per annum to date of sale to the United States, and au additional ifteen per centum per annum on the snm thus ascertained to the date of payment, In pHrsuance to act approved April seven, elgbteen hundred and sixty-two, the commissioner of internal revenue will be required to convey all the right acquired by the United States at the sale to Mrs. Mary Dunn, the owner of the plantation prior to thc sale aforesaid. The appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars to keep up the repairs on the Charleston Customhouse Anally squeezed through both Houses In a conference report, being so completely overshadowed by the thousands upon thousands o' dollars appropriated for public buildings in New York and Boston that it was lost sight of. The bill which passed ihe House appropriating twenty thousand dollars for rebuilding the Charleston Catholic Orphan Asylum still hangs fire in the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and I regret to say that the prospect for its pas? sage is very slight. The supervisor of the district continues to re? port that thc internal revenue receipts are con? stantly improving in South Carolina, being nearly double what they were last year. Orson B. Hart, of Florida, who has been here a month claiming that he was elected senator from Florida in place of Gilbert, has been reported against by the Senate Judiciary Committee, who, by the way. express a good deal of contempt for the thing that calls itself the Florida Legislature. The proceedings resorted to to elect Har: had no parallel. The House will soon contain two Democratic members, whose political disabilities have been removed. Hon. Francis E. Shober, of North Car-, olina, has already been sworn in, and General Lewis, of Kentucky, who Is about to be elected as Golladay's successor, will be here in a few days. One of the new features of the Radical pro? gramme is to admit New Mexico as a Republican State at the next session. An enabling act for the formation of a State government is to be madest this one. ZETA. EUROPE. Death of thc Dachc9s of Berri-Thc Ple? biscite in the Senate. PAI?IS, April 19. All the Legitimist papers appear in mourn? ing this morning on account of thc death of thc Duchess ?f Berri.

Yours, mojt respectfully, ALEXANDER ll. STEPHENS. Thc New York Star thinks it is about time that proressed military services during the rebel? lion should cease to be accepted as the basis o' claims for civil oillce, and so-by way of Illustra? tion-it tells us: Thc -'editor" of the Brooklyn Union, Mr. Stew arl L. Woodford, wants to be Governor Hoffman's successor, and he proposes to matte himself such bv a journali?tlc course which permits hl.n to w:arble gushingly about "the tia- " "Kio-: ms Sumter," -'Fori Lafayette," "tm' .oyal," -gal? lant volunteer.-?." and "sainted martyrs." lt won't wash. If Woodford, when in the army, had ever smell powder, If he had ever seen a bat? tle. If he had but singed one of his fron; collars, one might understand why he should stumble amoas the gravestones of the past; but ns his ex? perience consisted In firing skyrockets in Iwnor of oilier people's victories, In raising flags over forts taken by other hau-t-i. and lu responding to that ever-welcome toa<t, '-Oar absent wives and sweet? heart*," lt u reallv dtt&cult to understand his policy. COLUMBIA. The Case o?" the Xcgro Murderer, Fri? day Nixon-Thc Municipal Squabble, [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] C0L7MUIA, April 19. Friday Nixon, colored, who, with his son Anthony, was convicted some time since by the Charleston Court or Session, or the murder or another colored man en Ashley River, and has been twice respited, was brought here yesterday, and will appear before the Supreme Court to-mor? row. His friends are trying to get him discharg? ed from custody, claiming that as he has been twice respited, he ls entitled to lt. On Tuesday next the Supreme Court will hear the arguments in the ono ten rr? ?fi municipal muddle. Last week when the matter was before the Circuit Court, it was folly argued, and thc matter carried to the Supreme Court without action from the Circuit. The result ls expected with some curiosity, as the Anal determination of the case will be reached far more expeditiously without the intervention of the Circuit Court, from which i: would undoubtedly be appealed, if lt was then decided adversely to the contestants. THE BOLD BURGLARS. More About thc Columbia Cracksmen. The following paragraphs, which give som** additional particulars of the Columbia Bank rob? bery, are taken from the Columbiu papers of yes? terday: On Sunday morning, about 0 o'clock, as Mr. A. C. Davis, oue of the officers connected with thc Internal Revenue Department, was entering the passage-way leading to his office, he observed a ball ot twlue on the floor, behind the door: on stopping to pick lt up, he found that the cord passed through a hole lu the side wall or the bank. His suspicions becoming excited, he immediately went out and related the circumstances to two acquaint? ances, when the trio returned and made an examination or thc premises. The rear door or the bank was found ajar, and the parties en? tered. The doors leading into thc frout office were an open; continuing their explorations, they next discovered a sledge hammer, steel rods, wedges, and several mysterious looking Imple? ments, and thc door of the vault opened to Its fullest extent. A voice In an adjoining closet at? tracted their attention, when, upon opening the door, a white m?ncame forward. This individual. Dayton L. Galge by name, was formerly a United States soldier, afterwards connected with an as? sessor's office In one of the upper counties, but lost lils position through malfeasance in office, as we are Informed; he then came to Columbia, now HE GOT THERE. Gaige's account or his Incarceration In the building is to the effect that, on Saturday night, about ll o'clock, while on his way home, he was overtaken by thc rain; that he stepped Into the passage-way in rear of thc bank and partially closed the door; shortly afterwards, a mau, whom he ' apposed was thc bimk watchman, caught him by the arms and dragged him into theadjaceut room-Galge, as he says, protesting that he was not a robber, Ac; another Individual then appear? ed and presented a revolver at his head, th tua tell? ing to kill him If he made any alarm. Gnlgc says he was then forced Into a c'oset. near the vault, the parties insisting that he should lie down and keep perfectly quiet, or 1 ty would promptly dispose of bim. He says that tn? two individu? als then returned to inc front room and con? tinued hammering anti boring for several hours; and that about 0 o'clock, as he supposes, they left the building. He was, as he asserts, afraid of making any outcry, as the robbers might be on thc premises still, and would carry out their threats. This statement he made, with but slight variation, when questioned by different parties. Galge had an examination before the Mayor yesterday morning, bnt was cautioned by an attending magistrate' against making nay statement that would criminate himself: he merely repeated what we have given above. Galge declares that there wrre only two men within the building-one or them being rather slender, and thc other stout, with curly hair. THE LOSE IIS. It fortunately happened that large amounts or money had recently beeu sent away from the bank to oilier points, and there was less on baud than there had teen at any one time within thc last six mouths. Thc robbers found some com? pensation for this, however, In the large number -forty or fifty-of private boxes and special de? posits. The most of these they cxamlntd and 11 ried of ther bauk notes and gold coln. They were considerate enough to take no bonds or stocks or any kind. They helped themselves in all to about $10,000, the Arin of Messrs. Scott, Williams A Co. being losers to the amount of be twem $ls.ooo and $20,000. An equal, or perhaps little larger, amount or loss was distributed amongst a considerable number of depositors. Messrs. C. H. Baldwin, J. P. Southern. J. P. Adams, Itobcrtson and Beard are mentioned among the loser?. Throughout the whole of the period or trial and uncertnluiy, the sympathy or the whole commu? nity flowed in strong and encouraging currents towards the ?rm or Scott, Williams A Co. They met their losses so cheerfully and so resolutely, as largely to Increase the confidence already re posed in ihem. Business was brisk with them all day yesterday, and they received more money on deposit than they were called on to pay out. Baily yesterday morning they Issued the follow Ingjcard, which we take pleasure lu copying, as honoraiile to ?ill concerned: "To Ute Publie.-With many thanks to our friends nnd the community fur their manifesta? tions or sympathy on the occasion of our recent loss, we assure tiiem of our readiness and abllily to meet all demands promptly on presentation, ii '.To the president aud cashier of the Carolina National Bank we are under special obligations for their kind offer of assistance. If needed. ..SCOTT, WILLIAMS A CO."' THE REWARD. Tiie following notice is published : "Six Thousand Dollars ReicartU-We will pay $9000 for the recovery or the currency, gold aud bank bills stolen from our bank on the night of Saturday, 10th instant, orten per cent, upon the value of any portion thereof, aud $1000 for evi? dence to coovin the thieves. SCOTT, WILLIAMS A CO." A FALSE ALARU. The Augusta Chronicle or yesterday says : Tiie robbery was perpetrated on last Saturday \ night or Sun lay morning, and the first Intimation received or lt here was conveyed to thc cider of police of this city, by the medium of a telegraphic dispatch from thc Mayor or Columbia. Thc dis? patch brieOy stated that a heavy bank robbery had been perpetrated lu Columbia on the prece? ding night, and that the burglars who had lifted twenty thousand dollars of swag had taken thc tn rt for this city. In the dispatch was contain? ed a description or two or thc burglars, and when lite ariernoon train over the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad reached this city, the po? lice were waiting for it at the depot, but the men were nor, ot: board for whom they w re looking. Later in tbs evening another ami vc-rv confused dispatch from the Mayor or Columbia was received. This telegram stated that f.vo burglars had 1er: Columbia on the after? noon train for Aux us ta. and would reach litre thal night, and asking that a heavy force of po? lice would meet aud search the train lor the rob? ber;. He also stat ed. t hat two ;.,;,..?; oncers rrom Columbia ?'ere hlsO OH tho ?roin. (mc of the burglars was ('escribed as b^lng a well dressed young man or about twenty lut:r years old. weighing about one hundred and thirty-five pounds, and having light hair and fdr complex inn. The other one was about, thirty-two years old and welshed oae hundred and Sfty pounds. lie had dark complexion, wore no heard and had dark curling hair. Although a little puz? zled that two policemen should hnve len Columbia with Ahe burglars and travelled ia this city in their company without arresting them, the chief of polios determined to obey instruc? tions, au-.l on Sunday night a force consisting of ten policemen, and commando:! hy Lieutenants Kin?, and Purcell, were snnt to the railroad bridge to halt the train as soon as it crossed the Savan? nah River. As soon as the engine ha 1 passed the bridge the train was stopped and the officers boarded it. while the other policemen kept coard on the outside, and prevented all egress. No one was found, however, that corresponded with the description, and the police made another water haul. THE STOLEN BILLS. Up to a late hour yesterday aternoon, the affr.lr still remained enveloped in profound mystery, and the chances are that the burglars remained in Columbia for a dav arter thc robbery, and then made their escape Northward. On yesterday, a dispatch was received herc which would seem to indicate til lt the loss in bank notes ls no; so great a-, .?.as at first supposed. Messrs. John J. Cohen A Sons, brokers or this cit v. received a telegram yesterday morning rrom Colombie., signed by the receiver br tim Exchange Bank or that city, ask? ing them to waru brokers not to buy bills or that bank, as a large amount or them had been stolen on the night previous. If it should tura out that all the bank notes stolen were bills ot thc Ex chang? Bank, then thelo33 will not be near so heavy ns was at first supposed. The bills of this bank are ouly worth twenty-five cents on the dol? lar, and tho loss. Including gold and silver, would be about $0300. -Tiie famous female en?rossing e'erk ol'the Iowa House has triumphed. ie is to marry one o: tho inernbrjrs. BE II IND TffE SCENES. Olive Logan's New Book About Actor Theatres and Other Things of Kind. Miss Olive Logan has written a book, and ponderous one it is-not in quality, but in quanti ty. Six hundred and twelve printed pages between the covers. Eut, fortunately, it is heavy reading. It is all about that realm of fascl nation-the stage. The title ls, "Before the Foot lights and Behind the Scenes."' Books about theatres and actors, the gossip of the green-room and the secrets of that little world which is shut out so completely from the great world by th drop-curtain, are always entertaining, and few persons are better qualified to lift the veil and tell these secrets than Miss Logan. In the first place, she is "to the manner born." She and hers have been Identified with the stage for very long time. Her father, Cornelius A. Lo gan, was an actor held In much repute, and MiS3 Logan herself went upon the sta when she was a mere child, not more than four or five years old. in thc next place, she bas left that profession and turned author, aad ther foTe Ls at liberty io speak of actors and actresses with more freedom than would otherwise be pru dent. Flnully, Miss Logan ls a wonderful gossip She loves to use her pen; thc six hundred pages attest that fact. Aad then she 19 bright and witty, and has collected together a mass of anec dotes, some of them old and some of them new, but most of them entertaining. The scissors have play ed no Inconsiderable part In preparing the work, ls a sort of dramatic scrap book, thc clippings probably of several years, ail bound together Into narrative form by the bright thread of Miss Lo gan's own thought. The book covers pretty much the whole 'Jeld of amusements. ?liss Logan speaks of lt as "a book about the show business In all its branches, from puppet shows to grand opera, from mountebanks to menageries, from learned plgs.to lecturers, from burlesque blondes to actors and actresses." THE WAGES OF ACTORS. Among thc topics specially dwelt upon are Training for the stage; the severity of the work rehearsals; the memory of actors; stage rules and their strict enforcement; how to make up the face etiquette among actors; their salaries; the proper ty man; scene painters; ballet girls and blondes jugglers and gymnasts. Besides these and a hun dred other such subjects, Miss Logan has some thing to say about menageries and wild beasts how these latter are caught and how they arc tamed, and the dangers that beset the daring tamers. As some or our readers may bc Inter ested to know how the salaries of actors compare with those of persons In other vocations, we give Miss Logan's estimate. 'She states that it is not easy to .get at the precise figures, since not only is the rude question never asked In the profession, "What do you get a week}" but lt ls a point or etiquette among actors to remain lu ignorance or tne pay or their fellow actors. Miss Logan says: "The salary or a leading actor or ac? tress ranges from $40 to $60 a week. But I know one leading actress in New York who gets $100 a week, and two who gets $75 each. These, how ever, are peculiar cases, nil three being actresses specially attractive for youth, beauty and talent. Walking gentleman or lady will get rrom $20 to $33 a week; old man or old woman, from $25 to $40; while other players of a lower grade of tal? ent than these will get all the way from $J5 down to $10 a week. I should say there would bc no lower salary thau $lo a week rh n theatre Tor any one who appears on the stage, even for members of i lie ballet or 'supes,' though lt ls true that some? times extra men ?rc engaged from thc street for some special purpose, who receives no more than $3 or $4 a week. The pay cf stars ls a very different matter. Usually these ladies and gen? tlemen play Tor a share in thc receipts at the door; and when they do this, of course their pav ls regulated almost wholly by their drawing power. Sometimes, however, the most celebra? ted actors and actresses In the land have engag? ed themselves for a fixed salary psr week or per night. In the case of very popular plaversthls sum ls so mettam almost fnixUousJy large. Thc largest sai.-u-y that im? ever been paid to a star In tUls country ls that which wu* paid to Joseph Jefferson, at Booth's Theatre, in August and Sep? tember, I860, namely SS00 per night. Even at this price he proved an Immensely profitable star, drawing an average of 8120 J er cry night through? out thc season." PADDING AND PAINTING. Concerning the delicate questions of podding the legs and painting the face. Miss Logan enters into some curious details. "The woman," she says, "or thc man either, who cannot exhibit a shapely figure on the stage, has certainly not learned the way to thc chop of the pad-maker. There arc quite a number of these 'professors of symmetry' in this country, but they are most numerous lu Philadelphia. They advertise quite freely In the thean leal journals, and no one need be in Ignorance of their whereabouts. They do not boldly advertise the unpleasant word 'padding,' of course-thc popular term for pad? ding. ls ?symmetrical goods.' Much need nut here be said on thc modus operandi of the pad maker. The Fcicnce lies In weaving leggings or tights in such a way that they shall increase the thickness or the cair, the thigh, ic: and woven putting silk or cotton In the place where flesh is wanted, and thus concealing leanness or defor? mity. Thus a tragedian with lower limbs like pipe-stems can pull on his tights and ntand be? fore nu admiring audience with the sturdy legs of an athlete. ..To make up the face ls one of the subtlest arts of the actor. Who that has witnessed the acting of Bistorl In Queen Elizabeth but will remember how from act to act she visibly grew older before our eyes? Not only by voice, and manucr, and galt was this change effected, but her face, bright and Joyous at the beginning or thc play, became gradually wrinkled, pale and careworn; her hair grew grayer and grayer, until at last, ns she lay on the couch representing thc dying Queen, she seemed reduced to a skeleton and livid as a corpse. This was brought about solely by her perfect knowledge of how to make up the face. "I was behind the scene or the French Theatre In New York one night when Rlstorl was playing Elizabeth, and when I came to look closely at her face it seemed a meaningless mass or white and black marks with deep dashes of red under the eyes; but ar. one step off the effect was wonderful. It ls easier to make up Mie face to look old than to look young; nevertheless a careful mingling of pink for the cheek, white for the forehead, black for thc brows, and carinlne-for the lips, will go a great way toward making an old and homely woman look like a young and handsome oue." REQUISITES FOR A THEATRE. Miss Logan quotes a numerous Hst of the arti? cles that the property man of a first-class thea!rc has in his curious museum ready fur use. Anning them are: "Suns and moons; sheet-iron or thun? der, and dried peas Tor rain, powdered rosin for lightning, and cut paper ror snow-storms; rattles Tor the crash or falling buildings: trumpets for the growls of ferocious wild beasts; rose-pink for thc blood of patriots: papier mache banquets: tlu money for spendthrifts, and brass crowns for kings; broomsticks fir witches; leaden watches; leal lier armor for the bodies of brave knights, tlu spurs for their heels and dog chains for their necks; legs or mutton, loaves of bread, and plum puddings, all of canvas stuffed with sawdust; flour to make despairing lovers look pale, and vermilion tu make Hie noses of jolly landlords look red.'' MEMORY OF ACTOltS. Some remarkable instances or the memory of actors arc given. For instance, a year or two since Mr. J. W. Wallack, Jr., lt ls stated, weat In at a theatre In Washington entirely perjact lu IV.o part of Bob Brierly in l'ic "Tif-kcr-of-Leavc-Man," having committed tho part in thirty minutes; and Edwin Booth, when Q boy. got through Richard III. in the Illness of his father, without having studied lt. Miss Logan also stat?s that her own father once tool; the long and difficult tragic role, ot Black Ralph on remarkably brief notice. The part was placed in lils hands at six o'clock, and at hair-past sereu the curtain rang up. In the interval Mr. Lo^an had not only studied lils part, but dressed and made mi his face. Ile played the part to thc en 1 without mistakes, al? though at one point he w:isso disconcerted at see? ing a book or the play in the hands of one of the audience that he sent around to request rue person to lay it. aside. Such powers or commuting parts, however, are very rare, and, as a rule, those- who commit easily forget quickly. .A REGULAR HAED WORKING LIFE. In Illustration or the fact that the lifo or players is by no means a life of play, but, on the contrary, governed by rules of thc most stringent charac? ter, Miss Logan gives a specimen ot green room regulations. Twenty or these rules are given, among which are thc following: "1. Gentlemen at the time or rehearsal or per? formance are not to wear their hats in the green? room, or talk vociferously. The green-room is a place appropriated for the quiet ami regular meet? ing of the company, who are to be called thence, ana thence only, by the call-boy to attend on the stage. The manager ls not to be apnlied to in that place on any matter of business, or with any personal complilnt. For a breach of anv part of this article fifty cents will be forfeited. "2.

Any member of the company causing a disturbance In any part of the establishment will be liable to the forfeiture of a week's salary, or io be discharged, at the option of the management." ROMANTIC STORY OF AN ACTRESS. Miss Logan gives instances of many actresses who have captivated rich and titled suitors by their beauty and cleverness. Among the stories that she (?notes on thin point, the most interest? ing ls that of Miss Meudcl, a German actress. Wc give the romantic history as we find It related In her book: "It is said that she was the most lovely woman In Germany, her beauty being of the true German type, of the peculiar fairness beheld in no other country-golden hair, In soft, silky masses, with? out the smallest tinge of auburn-pure gold-un burnished; a complexion scarcely ever seen In nature, aud almost Impossible to produce by artificial -means; lips of deep carnation; teeth small and exquisitely white, and eyebrows or the darkest brown, with, eyes or the deepest hue. AU this made such an Im? pression on the heart or the Duke Louis of Bava? ria, that rrom the moment he first beheld her at the Munich Theatre he vowed hlmseir to the wor? ship of this one idol. But Mademoiselle Mendel was valiant in d?fonce of her reputation, and re? sisted every overture, even that of marriage, on the part of the Duke, well knowing that lt was almost out of his power to contract anv alliance of the kind, as much was expected of l?im by his family. At that time Mlle. Mendel was In the habit of wearing a velvet collar, with a clasp or? namented by a single pearl of great value, which had been presented to herby the KIng-of Saxony. and In order to quell all hope of success In the bosom ofher ducal admirer, she declared to him one day that she had made a vow to bestow her heart and hand on him alone who could match i lils single pearl with as many others as would form the whole necklace. The declaration was made laughingly, fortuefo.tr creature knew well enough that The fluke, living fully up to his Income, could never accomplish tills herculean task. Soon afterward she heard that the Duke had sold his horses, broke up his establishment, and gone to live in strict retire? ment In a small cottage belonging to his brother's park. That very night, wheu about to place the velvet band upon her neck, she fonnd, to her great surprise, that a second pearl had been added to the clasp. She knew well enough whence It came, and smiled sadly at the loss of labor she felt sure that Duke Louis was Incurring for love's sake. By degrees the velvet band be? came covered with pearls, all of them as fine as the one bestowed by thc King of Saxony, until one evening great was thc rumor In Augsburg, tlie fair Mendel had been robbed; while on the stace divested or ornament, in the prison scene, as Bettina von Armstedt, her dressing room had been entered, and the velvet collar, with its row of priceless pearls, had disappeared from the toilet table. Thc event was so terrible, her nerves so shaken, that In spite of the assur? ance of thc eli ie f or police magistrate, who hap? pened to bc In the theatre at the moment, that he was sure to find the thief in a very short time, for he had the clue already, poor Mlle. Mendel wns so overcome by grier that her memory failed her entirely, so that on returning to the stage not a word could she remember of her part. Thc au? dience waited for t-omc time in astonishment at thc silence maintained by thc actress, who gazed at the audience In piteous embarrassment Hntll by a sudden Inspiration and almost mechanically, indeed, she remembered she hail thc rehearsal copy or tho play in the pocket or her apron. She drew lt forth without hesitation, and began to read from lt. At first the audience knew not whether to laugh or be angry, but preseutly me? mory, pathos, forget Tu in ess of all but her art had returned to Mlle. Mendel, and la the utterance of one or thc most impassioned sentiments of her speech, she hung the rehearsal copy into the orchestra, and went on with her part without pause or hesitation. The applause of the audience was so tremendous that one or the. witnesses of the scene has. told K""" monster chandelier In thc centre of thc roof swung to nnd fro with thc vibration. But on her return to the eresslng-room the excitement prov? ed too nindi for ber, and she fainted away. On coming back to consciousness, It was to find Duke Louis at her feet, and thc head commissaire standing by her side, bidding her take courage for the pearls had been found. "Where are they*" exclaimed she. "Are you sure that none are missing ? Have uone been stolen ?" Duke Louis then clasped round her neck the string of pearls, complete at last, no longer sewn on the velvet band, but strung with symmetry, and rastened with a diamond clasp. What more could bc done by the devoted lover? He had spared neither pains nor sacrifice to attain his end, and Mlle. Mendel consented to become his wire. The Em? peror or Austria appears to have been much moved by the story, and suggested the nomina? tion or the bride elect to the title of Baroness de Wallersee, which thus equalized the ranks of thc fiances and enabled them to marry without diffi? culty. They live the most retired life possible, In their little chateau on Lake Stahnberg. They say that the Duchess Louise, of Bavaria, never puts off, night or day, the necklace of pearls, thc clasp of which Is rlvetted to her neck, und that in con? sequence of this peculiarity, she ls known all through the country round by the name of thu Fairy Berlina, from thc old German tale of the Magic Pearl." TUE WILLIAMSBURG TRAG EDY. A Statement of the Circumstances of | the Brown-Martin Homicide. A correspondent of thc New York World, writing from Williamsburg County, S. C., under date of April 13, gives the following as a fud statement or thc circumstances attending thc re? cent deplorable Brown-Martin tragedy: An affair resulting in a shocking tragedy is the all-absorbing topic al present in tiffs section of thc Palmetto State. Two young men, Martin and Brown, both white, and both belonging to this county, had a slight dlftlciilty with each other while attending a country dance. It was but a trilling nrfair nt first, but lt soon increased to a deadly feud. The county paper was used by both parties as a vehicle ol communicating to thc pub? lic their respective statements of (he matter, and the cards so issued soon teemed with rancorous personal abuse and allegations on both sides or falsehood and cowardice. Then came a challenge to mortal combat from Martin to Brown, requir? ing the latter to name time, place and weapons. This was accepted, aud a meeting arranged to take place on Lighthouse Isluud. below George? town. At the time appointed both parties repaired to the Island. Brown, with lils second, chartaped at Georgetown the steam-tug Martha Washington, aud under steam reached the lighthouse tn good lime, but as yartla had not arrived, Brown de? clined waiting for him, and with his second re? turned io Georgetown. Martin, not being able to obtain a steamer, had to proceed down thc bay from Georgetown in a sud boat. Beaching the island within au hour alter midday, the time agreed upon, Martin ascertained from the light keeper that l!n?wn had been there and gone. Marlin immediately returned home and renewed his challenge, but Brown refaced to accept on thc ground that Martin had failed to come to time on the first cartel. Brown then published a pamphlet giving his version of thc whole business, aud charging Mar? tin with having Intentionally and rrom coward? ice disappointed tiie tight at the lighthouse. Mar? tin read this pamphlet on Friday evening, and on Saturday, railing to obtain a cowhide In Kings tree, secured a serviceable substitute, and, repair? ing to the house where Brown was visiting, called M1 iii out, and arter vainly endeavoring to get ltira to retract his aspersions, inflicted a severe per? sonal chastisement ou Brown with au oak whip. The following week. Martin (who was a school? teacher! conducted his school as usual, without hearlng'frora Brown until Friday, when the latter, with two of his Mends, approached unobserved, and, Bending In word by one of thc scholars, awaited their victim. Martin being told that some gentlemen wanted to see him. went forth, and, seeing Brown's two companions near the fence, some two hundred yards distant, supposed they were the persons seeking the Interview, and alvanced towards them, when Brown, who was concealed behind a very large pine, opened lire upon him. and shot him twice mor? tal! v, before Martin could have been aware of lils "presence. As Martin fell, he drew a pis? tol and fired twice, one ball buryine Itself In the pine behind which Brown WAS standing, and the other striking Brown in the leg. The last shot, lt is said, only took effect by Brown's step? ping one foot out at the time, supposing the dan? ger over, as Martin was presumed then to be hort tie combat. Martin died in ten minutes. The children fled In terror through the woods to their homes, and Brown and his companions left. Tney have been arrested and ar? to be tried for the murder. Martin received a third ball lu his arm, which report says was fired by one or Brown's comrades. This tragedy h s occasioned the mo3t Intense excitement, as lt ls certainly well calcula? ted to do. David Morrow, the oldest man in Chester County, died last Friday moruing. He filled out his one hundredth year last October. CURRENT NOTES. NAPOLEON AND TUB FRENCH PEOPLE. There could be no greater proof of the en? tire good faith.with which Napoleon offers new constitutional reforms than his desire that the deputies visit their constituents to explain the Pleoiscitum before a vote ls taten thereon. The nation is invited to vote intelligently, and thus to take an actual share in creating a new po? litical regime, or rather reviving an old one, by which liberty In the best sense is gnaraiteed to France. The Parisians, and the voters in other large cities, no doubt understand the Intent of the Senatus Consuitum already. They appreciate fully the Importance of that part of lt which gives the popular branch of thc government-the Corps L?gislatif-control of the national purse-strings. But there arc mamy parts of the Empire which are not so weil informed npon constitutional changes, lt was said when Napoleon was elected President of the Republic of France, in 1852, that some votes were given under the belief that they were for the man of Wagram and Austerlltz, and whether the story be true or not, it Illustrates what might have been possible. At all events, thc present course of calling tho whole people Into council, as it were, gives firmness to the gov? ernment by basing it, pyramid-like, upon the broadest possible foundation-popular know? ledge of Its ability to enforce order while lt se? cures freedom to all. THE HORMON CREED. The protest of the Mormons against the pas? sage by the Senate of the House bill abolishing polygamy in Utah has just been received in Wash? ington. Among other things lt says : Of the 150.000 estimated population of the Territory of Utah, ali except from Ure thousand to teu thousand are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, usually called Mormons. These are essentially the people of this Territory; they have settled it, reclaimed thedeseit waste, cultivated it, subdued the In? dians, opened means of communication, made roads, built cities, towns and settlements, estab? lished government, encouraged education, and brought into being a new State to add lustre to thc national galaxy of oar glorious Union. And we, the people who have done this, are believers in the principle of plural marriage or polvgamy, not simply as an elevating social relationship and a preventive of many terribie evils which afflict our race, but as a principle revealed by 'Cod, un? derlying our every hope of eternal salvation and happiness In Heaven. We believe in the pre-ex? istence of the spirits of men; that God ls the Au? thor of our being; that marriage is ordained as the legitimate source by which mankind obtain an existence in this probation on the earth; that the marriage relation exists and extends through? out eternity, and that without, lt, 'no man can obtain an exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God. The revelation commanding the principle of plural marriage given by God through Joseph Smith to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in its first paragraph has the following language: "Behold, I reveal unto you a new and everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be per? mitted to enter Into my glory." With this lan? guage before as we cannot view plural marriage In any other light than as a vital principle of our religion. Let the revelation appear ia the eyes of others as it may, to us it ls a divine command, of equal force with any ever given by the Creator of the world to His children in the flesh. CHILDREN'S PARTIES. In an article on' the excessive indulgence of children-which ls certainly quite as applicable to parents on this side of the Atlantic as to those on the other-The Queen newspaper observes : As for the juvenile balls and parties, if we had to centralize the evil management of children we fchould certainly place it in these deplorable gath? erings; they take the bloom on* the still unripened fruit, make men and women of little children, and tum out blase, used up, disillusionized crea? tures, at an ago when, if they had been left to the simple amusement natural to their condition, they would have entered the world with the keen sense of enjoyment, the facility for pleasure, and the delicious romanticism which makes halt the charm of youth both to itself and others. There Istobea slaughter of the Innocents of yet an? other kind, and of those of older year?, of which we can hardly speak too severely. We mean the premature knowledge of evil which lt is now the fashion to allow. The lovely freshness of girls ls daily becoming more and more a thing of the past, a beauty of tradition, and a generation L ^r ?^.ru tuuivlM at, BhtfltOMi tr?pn til"1* grandmothers nt elenty. ftls undoubtedly a re? action from "mlsslshness," but it ls in a terribly painful form. HOW GRANT PACKED THE SUPREME COURT. Thc Cincinnati Commercial, the leading Re? publican paper in the West, has the following highly Important dispatch from Washington. Comment ls unnecessary: You w.ll see that steps are being taken to open up and revise the late decision of the Supreme Court, toucblug the constitutionality of the legal tender act. We were promised by the President that the two judges to be nominated by him should be sound on this question. He said to a friend of minc In advance, as he said to many others: "Make yourself easy; no one gees on that bench who ls not sound." And now the Interest passes from what a court packed lu this way may' decide, to the extraordinary fact of a President, focjjhe Ural time in the history of our country, bunTIIng up, through men of hts own selection, legal decisions in advance. Nothing has ever been done to so degrade and demoralise this high tribunal, and I wondered the other day, while listening to the motlou, that thenewjadges could, sit quietly before the world as the creatures of a man who sought by such means to trahrple upon the high place to which they honorably aspired.
