We understand that it is the intention of Miss
Cushman, the eminent American tragedian, to return
this autumn to her native land. A. sojourn of nearly
five years on this side of the Atlantic, marked with
the most brilliant and permanent successes, sends this
gifted artist back to the scenes of her early profes-
sional struggles, not alone with the stamp of Euro-
pean fame upon her genius, universally as that has
been accorded, but with the warm admiration and
respect of enlightened circles, who, seeking the artist,
found the woman yet more worthy of homage and
esteem. Miss Cushinan's family having finally settled
in England, we are happy to learn Oat her stay in
America will be but for a time, and *fi-cannot doubt
that the warmth of her reception here, where she
came unheralded and unknown, will find an echo in
the cities of her native country, where the trumpet-
blast of fame has long enshrined her as the greatest
actress of the age. Miss Cushman will be accom-
panied by her friend, the novelist and translator,
Matilda M. Hays, from whom we shall look for
fresh tidings of the New World.

A TREAD-WHEELED COACH.—We have already
had schemes for the complete inversion of the railway

train—so that no one need now be surprised to hear
of an inversion of the old jog-trot highway system,
