A :NICE QUESTION.

Why is it that the great actor and the great era-
matist are seldom or never united in one man
There are many reasons why they should be. When
the playwriter is "on the stage," for example, he
knows what his bretheren can do, he is acquainted
with their wants, and is " well up in the general
business." An actor who writes should be able to
interpret better, and ought to have some idea of the
feeling of the dramatist. And yet greatness has
never yet been attained by one man in both walks of
life. The Daily News discusses at length the cause
of this, and thus states its conclusion :

The productions of the poetic art are the result of an
intense subjection of the poet's entire nature to a species
of exquisite distillation,
only to be effected in quiet and
solitude, in the brooding heat and watchfulness of severe
self-questioning,, and by the exaltation of dreams and
reveries, of thought and observation, of agony and rapture.
The loud, showy, and unreal life of the stage is fatal to
the inspirations of poetry. The object of the poet is to
arrive at the essence of 'things ; that of the actor to
represent their externals. Even the dramatic poet—
nay, even the prose dramatist—is concerned more with
ideal truth than with literal fact ; and this idealisation is
fostered by habits of seclusion, and marred or vulgarised
by the coarser manners of the stage. The eternal make-
believe of .the theatre—its false lights, false Scenery, false
complexions, and false intonations—all is antagonistic to
the simplicity and sincerity which belong to the poetic
character. In its highest manifestations acting is no doubt
a noble art ; but it is practised at the sacrifice of qualities
peculiarly necessary to the literary career. The actor
must think primarily of effect; the poet ba4 to consider
essential. truth. And success iu both respect is not likely
to be the portion of one man.

NTAGARA.

Sightseers had better get a glimpse of the Niagara Falls
before they are shorn of their glory, for again we have
alarming intelligence that the rock is wearing away, and
that consequently the Falls are " going." Heavy masses
of ice which pass over in the spring, strong currents, and
the tremendous concussion of the cataract, are doing
their work slowly, but surety. A correspondent
writes :—" The Horse Shoe has evidently given way
some thirty feet in that part of the cone where
the `green water' is seen, so that the horse shoe
appearance is metamorphosed to that of a triangu!ar
shape. It is thought that about one hundred
and fifty tons of rock must have fatlen in on the Horse
Shoe alone, and old habitu 's here are taking landmarks to
notice the recession that may take place before another
year." The American Fall likewise has given way to some
extent. Altogether, the present retrocesssion is the
greatest ever witnessed by one generation.

OUR COUNTRYMEN IN JAPAN,
Insults to Englishmen and foreigners generally in Japan
have been very numerous of late—so frequent, indeed, as
to lead to diplomatic disturbances. On account of one
outrage the Mikado sent an apology to Sir Harry Parkes,
the British Ambassador ; but our representative persisted
in demanding the names of the offenders. The native Go-
vernment declared that " they were unknown ;" but
this transparent excuse did not deceive Sir Barry. He
still refused to accept the apology unless the names were
likewise given. The Japan Gaze'te states that since the
Mikado has entered Yedo the indications of an approach-
ing outbreak against foreigners have become unmistake-
able. Neither the Mikado nor his supporters appear
inclined to tolerate the presence of the "barbarians."

TUE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The general tenor of the news from Paraguay is that
the Allies find great difficulty in dislodging Lopez from
the position he last took rip. The Buenos AtTes Standard
says the Allies have stretched their lines round the moun-
tains, where the Dictator is posted, but hitherto with
vciy little effect. Military men think that the operation
of driving Lopez from his last position will be one of
gi eat difficulty. Numbers of women and children, in
a s'ate of great destitution, have been brought into
the allied camp. One very serious engagement has
taken place. General Beretto had made a successful
raid upon the Paraguayans, and had liberated a great
number of women and children. He was, however,
attacked while defiling through a difficult pass in the
mountains twenty-one miles long, and a desperate fight
ensued. he Brazilians formed as well as the defile would
admit, but the Parsguayans had a battery mounted on
an eminence, which raked the pass, and the rear of the
Brazilians was cAnpletely cut off. Hundreds of the
unfortunate families perished, being between two fires,
and the two cavalry regiments which wound up the rear
were comrletely destroyed. This is considered one of the
most serious engagements of the war. It seems to testify
that the resources of Lopez are by no means exhausted.

An interesting suit is progressing against the
Shakers of New Lebanon to recover the person of a nine-
year-old girl held by the society against her will. Mrs.
Sarah Ann Barbour left New-Dorp, Staten Island, clan-
destinely with her two children and arrived et New
Lebanon iu October, 180, avowing herse:f a convert. Her
Inotber, James 13. Daniel, joined her a year after, but
lately both having become discontented withdrew, but the
society kept this child, the other having been killed by an
accident. The child .was kept by order of the Court in
the custody of the Shakers, pending evidence to be pro-
cured before the following term, and the mother is per-
mitted to visit it four hours each day.

TENANT-RIGHT IN ENGLAND.

The tenant-right demand, if granted in Ireland,
will soon be raised in England. What is just for
Ireland (say the English farmers) must be right for
England. The Shropshire Chamber of Agriculture
has already discussed. the claim, and acknowledged
it. A. long debate upon the subject took place a day
or two back at Wenlock, and the chamber passed the
following resolution :
" That it is necessary for the encouragement of a better
cultivation of the soil that legislation should be ob-
tained to give to the tenant compensation for his unex-
hausted improvements in the case of buildings and drain-
age, the landlord's permission having previously been
obtained."

This conclusion is significant, as being arrived at by a
farmers' club.

SAINT DAY IN IRELAND.

The anniversary of the execution of the "Man-
chester Martyrs " was duly observed in divers towns
of Munster. At Cork there was a procession of
about 1,000 persons, accompanied by bands playing
the " Dead March." Large patrols of police paraded
the streets, but there was no disturbance. In
enagh numbers of people assembled in the streets
wearing mourning badges and green rosettes, but there
was no procession. An application was made to
the Rev. Mr. Ryan, P.P., to celebrate a special Mass
for the repose of the martyrs' souls. This is the cler-
gyman who apologised for, if he did not positively
praise, the practice of " tumbling over " landlords
with revolvers. But Mr. Ryan seems to have thought
that his speech at the Tipperary nomination had
carried him quite far enough. lie refused to cele-
brate the Mass.

THE FENIAN KELLY.

The imaginative concoctor of certain telegrams
sent from London to an Irish contemporary has been
muddling matters very miserably lately. He an-
nounced within a very few days the discovery that
the man Martin recently arrested in London was
Kelly ; that Lord Ohelmsford was ill ; and
that the Speaker was about to resign his
post. The two latter statements we were able to
contradict yesterday. Lord Chelmsford is in capital
health ;
Denison has no present intention of
vacating the chairmanship of the House of Commons.
The first story—that about the Fenian Kelly—is now
falsified by a communication from Mr. Thomas Conolly,
the working man visitor to the United States. Mr.
Conolly declares that while the papers of London
were discussing Martin's identity, he (Conolly) was
speaking to Kelly in the New York Post Office. Mr.
Conolly adds : "I have also seen many of those men
who were released, and I assure you they are all
industriously employed. I have not heard of a
single man released who is loafing about, and I am
of opinion if the other prisoners are released, they
will conduct themselves in a proper manner."

THE CUBAN STEAMER LILIAN.

The commander of the United States steamer, Tuscarora,
at Key West, has informed the Navy Department at
Washington of the final career of the Lilian. The steamer
left Cedar Keys on October 5, and went into Nassau on the
16th, flying &Cuban flag. She landed 150 men and attempted.
to get some coal, but the coal schooners were seized by the
English gunboat Sterling, which also fired into the
steamer. The Lilian, which had put to sea, returned to
Nassau and was taken possession of by the English autho-
rities. She sank some twelve hours later—from what cause
is not explained—and she now lies a wreck across the reef
with her back broken. Most of her men were Cubans.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Firo Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

AMICABLE SYMPTOMS.

Signs of moderation are dimly visible in one or two
places in Ireland. Sligo has set the example of hold-
ing an amicable conference of landlords and tenants,
and Longford has just imitated the good deed. A.
strong representation of both owners and occupiers
has assembled in the latter county to consider resolu-
tions which are to be submitted to a county meeting.
Justices of the peace, deputy lieutenants, the local gen-
try, and the Roman Catholic clergy and the tenants mus-
tered in good force. A cheering spirit of conciliation
was manifested, especially on the part of the landlords.
The resolutions proposed were, indeed, very sweeping.
The first stigmatised the present land laws as unsatis-
factory—sanctioning injustice, and often bringing
about the confiscation of the tenant's property; the
second and third pronounced for fixity of tenure with
a valuation of rents; and two others claimed a
reclamation of waste land, and denounced absenteeism.
The resolutions in favour of fixity of tenure and rents
at a valuation were adopted.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of froe admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent `ter support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 8,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

THE INSURRECTION IN DALMATIA,

A telegram addressed to the North-East Correspondence
states that a strong body of troops has been concentrated
in the district of Grahovo, in Montenegro, with suspicious
intentions, and adds that the participation of the Monte-
negrins in the insurrection has been proved by the corpses
of the insurgents killed in the recent combats. This news
does not accord with tho formal protestations that the
Prince of Montenegro has made to the Austrian Govern-
ment of Ma friendly intentions. Indifferent news has
been received from the theatre of the war. The troops made
no progress, and the last encounters, in spite of the protes-
tations of the officialipress, have not been successful ones. The
Imperial forces sustained great losses in the march on
Dragali. As for the insurrection itself, it cannot be said
to diminish, and it is now believed that the southern part
of the province (supposed to be conquered) is again in
revolt. It is not unlikely that the Emperor of Austria and
Count Beust will return from the East to find things still
in a most unsettled state in Dalmatia.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD BY A STOLE.

11BOKE.R.

At the Central Criminal Court, William M`Lachlan, 39,
stockbroker, pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged
him with converting to his own use divers securities of the
value of £lO,OOO, which had been entrusted to him as a
broker for safe custody, by Sir John Bingham
and others. The prisoner was employed in the ordinary
course of business as a stockbroker, and was entrusted
with securities of great value, but instead of realising the
securities. and placing the proceeds in the bank to the
credit of those for whom he acted, he pledged the stock to
cover a speculative account in the Stock Exchange. In
mitigation it might be stated that the prisoner
refunded £1,500, of which the trustees knew
nothing. Mr. Serjeant Sleigh, with whom was Mr. Warner,
Sleigh for ill lefence, said the prisoner pleaded guilty,
with a full scuse of the enormity of the offence, and he
threw himself unreservedly in the hands of the court. Up
till a recent date he bore the character of an honest man,
but he had yielded to the temptation, at the instigation tf
a person who knew he had the securities, and from time to
time the stock was pledged until the fraudulent conver-
sion to which he had pleaded guilty was com-
pleted.—Mr. Justice Brett said he took a very
serious view of the offence, and he could
not regard it as any mitigation that the prisoner had
yielded to the temptation of another person, because he
himself was an experienced man of business of mature age.
It would be easy to be honest if there was no temptation.
The sentence of the court was that he be kept in penal
servitude for five years.

LONGFORD.

It is stated that the seat left vacant for Longford,
by the elevation of Colonel Greville-Nugent to the
peerage, will be fought for by a son of the new peer.
In the matter of politics as was the parent so will be
the son.- A. correspondent of the Evening Poet
affirms that the Liberal party are quite united, and
mean to retain the seat.
London, England, 1869-11-26

MR. JUSTICE HAYES.

The removal of Mr. Justice Hayes by death from
the judicial bench deprives the country of a sound
lawyer and a genial judge. The deceased was not a
great man. He was not even a good speaker; his
addresses to juries at Nisi Prius were spoilt by his
rapid utterance. But his legal information was
immense ; and he rose simply by his talent for know-
ledge. He never entered ParliaLtent, 'lover
telupt ,? to enter ; so that his appointment by
..)rd Cairns, in 180'.-1-', was in no sense political. The
eccasyl bad reached his 63rd year ; he was called
o the bar in 1830, became seljeant-at-law in 1850,
cal live years afterwards was made Queens counsel.
The late judge was noted for his humour. He pub-
iAled several comico-legal poems, full of puns and
hard blows at the present system.
