Susnt Greeh, says a contemporary, had
her pick from among the yonng men oi
Lexington, Ky., fpr j she was handsome
and rich; but she preferred a gambler of
the flashiest kind. He was known to
her for a month as a stock broker, and
at the end of that brief courtship she
married him. They stopped at a Louis
ville hotel on their bridal tour. He
brought her a lemonade in her room,
and she found it bitter. He had pnt an
opiate in it When she was unconscious
he stole her purse and $2,500 worth of
diamonds, and deserted her. '

A Cincinnati woman visited a small
pox patient, despite the protests of her
husband, “ just to see what the disease
looked like.” She canght the contagion
snd conveyed it to her husband and only
jhild. Both parents died and the child
inrvived. Her curiosity was doubtless
gratified.
Hon. Will Cumback, of Grecnsburg,
Ind., give* it os his opinion that the
mob who hanged Garrett at Grcensburg
were Kentuckians, bailing from the
former home of the murdered man
Walton. He bases his opinion on the
public feeling at St. Paul, the home of
Walton and Garrett,whore ho says, there
was no disposition to do injury to
Garrett since his acquittal ss as acces
sory to the crime.
, While the Governmenj..k. consideri]]g
toe feasibility of protecting American
subjects in Ireland, sod the advisability
of going to way with. Russia in behalf of
the persecuted Jews in that country, it

form of destruction of property by
plnader and fire, injury to person, mur

wives, and daughters, and deliberate
murder. As nearly as the results of

aumd, whether they Aald be relied up
on In an emergency. I remember *tat
ing for my command, commanded by
Cob. McLemore and Breckinrigde, and
the artillery commanded by Capt. Wig-
g n*. that they had remained trne and
itact, were under good discipline, and
never refused to do duty either as soonts,
picket, or guards and were as ready to
march to battle as they had always been.
Each officer was asked in turn in regard
to his command, and my statements
were corroborated by Col. Breckinridge
when he was interrogated.
Mr. Davis had had the eompanv of
Capt. Given Campbell, of toe First
Kentucky cavalry, as 4 *n escort, and be
decided to leave next day with hi* es
cort, staff, and s few other*. On going
into camp near Washington, Ga., on the
8d of May. the specie train was parked
at Gen Breckinridge’s headquarters,
and that intended for the troops was
turned over to Maj. E. C. White, chief
Turkey. Tlie intervention of Russia in
behalf of Greek 'Christians in Turkish
Dominions was an avowed justification
for undertaking the Crimean war, and
again in 1877 the intervention of Russia
in behalf ef Christian subjects at tha
Sultan was,the single pretext for the
Rnsao-Turkish war. In reply to Judge
Belford, the President said he felt deeply
iaMflgliggji toe case of the persecuted
Hebrews, a: d was deb rmim d to do
everything that could be done with
propriety to induce toe Russian Govern
ment to extend the fullest projection to
this class of its subjects He bed witoia

A Soldier’s Daughter.
Indianapolis has had s romance in
real life that k a wide departure from
the ordinary lina, ' During the war a tit
tle girl, the daughter f»f an Indiana
soldier who fell in battle, was placed in
a Soldiers’ Orphans Home. There she
became the friend and confidant of the

the natural and reasonable way of con
sidering plays and play acton. For
merly it woe the universal one. It was
the tin., new play then that drew the
crowd—not the fine new actress.
But all this is changed now. The
glorifying of one actor to the degree of
making a “eter” of him ; the “ personal
magnetism” element; and the attention
given to tho matter of dry goods, have
all tended to make meet dramatic shows
nothing more than the exhibition of the
gifts of one actor or octrees. The charm
of that one person is the thing relied on.
The plays of such are fitted to them on
the same principle that their clothes are

Whether the play itself is a fine literary
