close this evening. AS we have already stat

of their merits. They should be examined

emotions characterlsng the different scenes,

Of chief interest, and that has attracted the at
tention of visitors most particularly, is the re-
presentation of the Crucifxion. The agony
of Oar dying Lord is touchingly portrayed, and
the passion and hatred of the Jewish priests,
the soldiers and the people fully shown. The
sad countenances of Mary and Martha tell the
story of their love TO the Saviour. Dir. Chase

THE AZTEC CHILDREN.-We visited these
sable elfs yesterday, and watched their move
ments for short time with some degree of in
terest. Mach has been said and written with
respect to them, and scientific men have dis.
cussed with great earnestness, the question of
their birth and origin. Ii is claimed by the
exhibitor that they belong to pigmy race of
beings, living in the central part of South
America, termed the Aztecs. They are GER
tainly of very singular formation, and with sp.
propriate dorsal appendages, would pass for
aris,ocratc 'upper-ten" monkeys. The boy
appears the most idiotic of the twain, and moves
awkvardly, while the girl is remarkably agile
and graceful in her walk. She 10 smaller
than the boy, and happens to be more ntell.
gent. The lilliputian pair occupy a large
stand, and amuse themselves with riding and
rocking hobby-horses, and various other of the
plays of children, while the exhibitor is de-
scribing their physical character and peculi-
arlies. They can articuate few English
words.

Csrrespssdence Of the Dispatch.
Errprprrrspupc Feb. Q.


MxssRs. EpIToRs:--The astonishing and
melancholy intelligence Of the death Of r. B.
Semple, Eco Mayor Of our city, was received
here this morning early. We had heard moth
ing of his sickness, and the announcement cast
q gloom over our citizens. Hardly was the
news received, before we had to prepare to re-
ceivc his remains at the depot. The Guards.
with their usual alacrity, were out in large
numbers with their fine brass band, and re.
ceived the corpse at the depot with the usual
ceremonies, in conjunction with the City
Council, Members Of the Court, and large
concourse of citizens. Major o. Nj. Crutch-
field, Speaker of the House, in few eloquent
and brief remarks, delivered the body over TO
the care Of the corporate authorities, and the
procession moved TO the new City Hall, where
the body now lies in state, guarded by Ser
geant and Privates of the Guards, who are
TO be relieved every four hours. On arrival
at the Hall, very touching address was de-
ilvered by VIM. A. Little, ESQ., one of the
members Of the City Council. Ia the after
noon the Council met and passed appropriate
resolutions. The funeral will take place on
Thursday morning, 10Th inst, and the body
will be inferred in a lot owned by the corpora.
ton IN the new cemetery.
In r. b. Semple our tow.l feels that she has
sustained a heavy loss. No one has devoted
more time and energy TOWARDS HeI interests,
or been more influential in securing for her
that position to which she has attained. He
had faults, as all men have, but they were en-
rors of the head, not OF the heart. Even over
these let the mantle of charity be cast, and let
US only remember all his good deeds and
words.
Mr. Semple was Mayor of the town for 6 or
7 years. and would have been fifty years old
on the 18th Of this month, had he lived. We
saw the lid his coffin removed this afternoon
in presence of his only brother, and two of the
sons Of Dir. Semple. The little boys seemed
too young 10 realize the spectacle, for they
seemed to stand uumoved but il was only an
evidence of that deeper consciousness which
had to be stirred up within.
Your remarks in yesterdays Dispatch, In
relation to the death of your brother Editor,
were correct, just and proper. The corps
editorial lose in him an intelligent, bold and
beautiful writer.
Madame Bishop and her troupe appear here
on Tuesday night next, and will sing portions

gard to Madame Durand's singing. fyou are
