DuBLIN.-The following bulletin of bulls
IN the shape ola critique appeared in Dub
I'm newspaper on the Occasion of Mrs. Sid
dons' first appearance there. 'ris old but,
humoursome.
"On Saturday, May 80, 1894, Mrs. Sid.
dons, about whom all the world has been,
talking, exposed her beautiful, adamantine,
soft and lovely person for the first time, at.
the Smock Alley Theatre, in the bewltching,
fearful and all melting character of Isabelle.
From the repeated panegyrlcs in the impair
tIal LONDON newspapers, we are taught to.
expect the sight Of a heavenly angel; but
now were we supernaturaIy surprised into,
the most awful joy at beholdng mortal
goddess. The house was crowded with
hundreds more than it could hold, with
thousands of adminng spectators who went
away without obtaining sight.
This extraordinary phenomenon of tragic
excellence! this star of MeIpomene! this
comet of the stage! this sun in the frna-
ment ofthe muses. this moon of blank yersel
this queen & princess Of tears! this Donellan
of the poisoned bowl! this empress of the
pistol and dagger! this chaos of Shakespeare!
this world OF weeping clouds! this Juno of
commanding aspects! this Proserpine of fire
and earthquake! this Katterfclto of wonders!
exceeded expectation, went beyond belief,
and scared above all the natural power of
description! she was nature itself! she was
the most exquisite work of art! she was the
very daisy, primrose, tube rose, sweetbriar,
turze blossom, giower, caulIfower and
rosemary! in short, she was bouquet Of
Parnassus.
Where expectation was raised SO high, it
was thought she would be injured by her
appearance; but it was the audience who
were injured--severa of them tainted be-
fore the curtain was drawn up.
/ When she came to the scene of parting
! with her wedding ring, all! what sight
was there! The very fddlers in the or
chestra albeit unused TO the melting mood,
blubbered like hungry children crying for
their bread and butter: and when the bell
rang for music between the acts, tine tears
fell from the bassoon players eyes in such
plentiful showers, that they chpked the fin
, ger stops; and making spout of that in
strumgnt, poured in such torrents on the
ltfyst tdd.er's book, that, not seeing the over
. ture was IN tTQ harms the leader Of the
1 band nClua!Iy 1Irysd 10 one tiGt.- but the
h sobs and s,g"- ,i the grooming audience,
\, and the noise of corks drawn from the
!, smelling bottles, prevented the mistakes be-
e tween flats and sharps being discovered.
= One hundred and ninety five had strong
e mysteries! The world will hardly credit
t the ruth, when they are told that fourteen

Besides, by emancipation they would be delivered
from the fear of being murdered by the slaves ant
from the stings of guilty conscience, which can
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
There is much sympathy protested in this re-
glon for fear that the slaves cannot take care o
themselves But the logic is amusing If the
slave submits patiently, he does not possess the
Sparat Of q freeman, If he takes the sword, as
did our fathers Of '76, he is REBEL thirsting for
blood, and must lose his life! If he is free, and
attains wealth and responsibility, it cannot be en-
dured! If he sinks in dependency and indo-
lence by misnsage, he is worse than brute
This logic reminds us of the drunkard who, re-
turning late at night, calls out to his companion,
g lfmy wife has not got my supper ready, I'll beat
her. If she has got it ready, I'll beat her If she is
in bed, I'll beat her If she is sitting up II! beat
her." In either case, turn which way they may,
the slaves are met without mercy,
1t is said by some that the African is the only
race of people that can be enslaved and they re-
fer to Noah's words to Ham, "a servant of ser
wants shall he be" as though they had always
been slaves, whereas, we have no account that
they were slaves, till about the time of Columbus.
Yet they contend that slavery has existed ever
since the days of Abraham! But what were the
sons of Ham about from the days of Abraham to
Columbus Historians and divines agree that
Egypt was peopled by the postery of Ham
among whom were sixty monarchs by the name
of Pharaoh, some of whom fourished in the days
of Joseph and Moses-that the arts and sciences
Aourished there in an eminent degree, insomuch
that it was 40 honor even to Moses, that He was
learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" See
Woods and Watson's Bible Dictionaries on the
word Egypt Yet they are that inferior people
that cannot take care of themselves Have they
lost their genius for science and the mechanical
arts? The slave holders declare the contrary,
when offering them for sale; nor are they Deepen
dent on the economy of their masters, as St. Do
mingo Antigua and Barbados, will show. But
if such evidence will not convince men, neither
will they be persuaded though one should rise from
the dead. | remain your affectonate brother,

P S. lam now on a visit to my friends in Coles
vile. The cause of abolition is gaining here. A
public debate, in which took part, was held in
Randolph, few days since. The question was
" Which is the most dangerous slavery or mme-
diate emancipation? 2" Our judges decided in ia
vor of the former. E. G.
