AMERICA,

The New York Pound Table discusses the Roebuck
escapade in a tone which furnishes an agreeable contrast
to that of its contemporaries. It does not think Mr.
Reverdy Johnson went too far in his expressions of cor-
d'ality. It regrets all that tends to impair the warmth of
relations between peoples whose interests and pursuits
are so identified. "We must add, in all candour, that if
American journalists were as ready when hard things are
said of the mother country by American orators to rebuke
and ridicule them as English journalists have just shewn
themselves to be, in the parallel case of Mr. Roebuck,
the entente cordiale between the two countries would
stand a much better chance of indefinite preservation."
An exciting election contest may shortly be expected.
The seat of Morrissey, the prizefighter, is unsafe.
He is to be opposed by Mr. George Francis Train, as
soon as that martyr has been freed from the grinding
tyranny of British law and from the horrors of a British
dungeon.

The Spirit of the Times gives the following items :
Josephine Orton has loft the " Chestnut-street" in Phila-
delphia, and accepted an engagement with Floyd, in New
Orleans. Her husband leads the orchestra.—The steamer
St, Laurent, from Havre, brought to our shores the entire
opera company of Mr. J. Grau, numbering forty eight per-
sons. Prominent among them. are Madame Rose Bell,
Mademoiselles Declanzas, Fontanel, Villa, and Monsieurs
Carrier, Beckers, Gabel, Bourgoin, etc. They will
inaugurate the season of 1868-69 at the reconstructed
and handsome Theatre Francais, on October 5, pro-
bably with "La Grand Duchess."—The Bryants, Dan
and Neil, are drawing good houses, and deservedly,
as they give an admirable performance. Their bill
for next week is va►ied and novel. We advise every-
body who has the blues, or who expects to have them, to
go to see this popular troupe.—Lieutenant Hill says that
Grant's cast for Genevieve de Brabant is undoubtedly
Parisian, but it is a plaster of Paris cast—not the real
thing.—The New York Theatre is again in the hands of
Worrell Sisters.—Couldock and daughter are in Cincin-
nati.—Kemble reads in Buffalo next Monday evening,
Sept. 28.—1 t is reported that Mrs. Johu Wood has mar-
ried a journalist now London, and once of this city.—
The best Bill of the play—Bill Shakspere.—Fanny Stock-
ton has gone to Chicago.—Mrs. D. P. Bowers played Cleo-
patra in San Francisco. We have received a bill of the
performance, which marks a new era in the art of thea-
trical advertising. Rather it takes us back to the days
of the hard-handed men of Athens, and the presentments
of Lion, Wall, and Thornbush. Manager Jackson, seiz-
ing the idea suggested by those parts of the text of the
play which reads—
" The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Burn'd on the water; the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them."
And:

" From the barge
A strange invisible perfume hits the sense
Of the adjacent wharves."
"He will, at the time of the galley-scene, by some simple
mechanical contrivance, project into the auditorium a deli-
cate odour, which will complete the illusion wrought by
the gorgeous set of the stage, and realize the poet's idea of
the luxurious magnificence surrounding Egypt's beautifal
Queen." Ada Clare is married to Mr. J. F. Noyes, stage
manager of the Bryan City Theatre, Texas. John Sefton
was buried from the Church of the Transfiguration, in
Twenty-ninth-street, New York. The services were per-
formed by the Rev. Dr. Hogan. Among the friends of the
dead actor present were Lester Wallack, Mr. and Mrs.
Florence, Mr. Charles Fisher, Mr. Williamson, and Mr.
Holland.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Henceorth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, .1 my 21,1866. - The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Rcvalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out of more than 68,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint,
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No. 1.771: Lord Stuart de
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.

No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation flatulency, spasms

sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly." Cure No. 46.270: Mr.
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, and pariial deafness.

sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's

TIIE "NEW YORK TRIBUNE," AS A
CAMPAIGN PAPER.

There is some curious information in the I\rell.l
York Tribune about the election campaign. "
The
Rebels held a meeting in Pleasant Grove, Nansaesd
on the 7th. A vote taken after the meeting results
in
in 120 for Grant and 40 .for Seymour." juding
from their votes these were " Grant rebels7',ll;
animal we now hear of for the first time. r
vote for President was taken on board the steamer
United States, Captain 4. C. Babbitt, on her pas-
sage from Plattsburg to Whitehall, on Thurscla,97
evening, the 17th Sept., resulting as follows
for Grant and 17 for Seymour. Grant's majorityl7." Our arithmetic does not bear out 01
calculation; and we recommend the author °t
these figures to leave the public to work ()tic
the results for themselves. Here is another
instance. On the 18th of September the result
of the ballot was " 37 for Grant and 16 for Sete
mour. Grant's majority, twenty-three. In thy{
latter instance one man refuse I to declare
H him.sateed
in apparent shame. e was immediately cretilt
to Seymour." Take our advice Horace, and Fl,
an extinguisher over the man who makes these "in

considering that its leading columns are mainljtohe
cupied in blazing abroad its own merits, anurrhe
