The national theatre is still the scene of the
delightful performances Of the Ravel family, of
the exquisite dancing Of Mad'lle Yrca Matthias,
and Of the wonderful feats of the accomplished
rope dancers. Perhaps the most fascinating
part Of the performances is the dancing, in
which all the members Of the corps are expert
and skillful. Indeed, we have never seen any
company that excelled Mr.. Marshall's in this
beautiful accomplishment. We sincerely wish
the national the success it deserves All the
talent and all the efforts of the company are
called into exercise to entertain the patrons Of
that place of fashionable resort
On Monday evening the theatre will be the
scene Of unusual attraction. The Rayel fami.

persons, will appear in the Grand Fairy Magic
Pantomime, called the Green Monster, in which

A You've HERo.-In the Madison lind J
Daily Argus, Dec. l, we find the following ac-
count OF the martyrdom of an American boy
IA youth Of whom our nation may be proud
who died because he would not tell lie:
Heroes and Martyrs.-Our readers will pro-
badly all recollect the story of the Norwegian
boy at Chicago, who was drowned by some
older boys because he refused to assist them in
robbing an orchard. Some of the papers at
Chicago now raise doubts as to the martyrdom
of the boy, and attempt to account for his death
in some other way than they first suggested
It seems to such that heroism, of the kind i'm
puted to the boy, does not exist in the world at
the present time. Such editors underrate hn-
manity. A case of moral heroism exceeding
that imputed to Knud Iverson, occurred in
Marquette county, in this State, little over
year ago, the facts of which were established
by judicial investigation, and were related to
us by Judge Larrabee, who presided at the trial.
A beautiful, fair-haired, blue-eyed boy, about
nine years of age, was taken from the Orphan
Asylum in Milwaukee, and adopted by re-
spectacle farmer of Marquette, professor of
religion and a member Of the Baptist persua
sion. A girl, little older than the boy, was
also adopted in the same family Soon after
these children were installed in their new
home, the boy discovered criminal conduct on
the part Of his new mother, which he mention
ed to the little girl, and it thereby came to the
ears Of the woman; she Indignantly denied
the story to the satisfaction of her husband,
and insisted that the boy should be whipped
until he confessed the falsehood. The man
poor weak bigot-impelled to sense of re
ligious duty, proceeded to the task assigned
him, by procuring bundle Of rods, stripping
the child naked and suspending him by cord
to the rafters Of the house, and whipping him
at intervals for over two hours, till the blood
ran through the floor, making pool upon the
floor below; stopping only to rest and interro-
gate the boy, and getting no other reply than
Pa, told the truth cannot tell lie;" the
woman all the time urging him to "do his
duty" The poor little hero, at length released
from his torture, threw his arms around the
neck of his tormentor, kissed him, and said,
PA, am SO cold" and died. It appeared in
evidence, upon the trial of this man and wo
man for murder, that the child did tell the
truth; and suffered death by slow torture rather
than tell lie. The age Of heroism and Of
martyrdom will not have passed till mothers
cease to instil holy precepts into the minds of
their infant offspring. The man and woman
who murdered this angel child are now in the
penitentiary at Waupun, to which they were
sentenced for ten years.

the desired height, and need him no more.

We publish in another column the report Of
Mr.. De Bow, to whose charge the Census Blu
reau was judiciously committed at the opening
of the present administration. The report is
brief, and merely indicates the heads and di
visions under which the vast amount of stats
teal information embodied in the volume Of the
census of 1850, is arranged. The printing Of
that volume is completed, and it is now in the
hands Of the binder. To methodist, condense,
and render Ineligible the vast varied, and
confused statistics, embraced in the census re.
turns, has been a quiet but continuous and Her
cuean labor. Mr.. De Bow has been faithful to

Russia and Turkey.

both IN Europe and IN Asia the Turkish
arms nave proved successful. In Georgia, the
position OF Prince Woronzoff has become ex-
ceedingy critical, surrounded as he is by enc
mics, and with no chance of obtaining rein
forcements. On the Danube. whenever the
hostile forces have come into collision. the
Turk proved invariably victorious. and Omar
Pasha may be admired as very clever strate-
gist, whilst his army has won praise for it's
activity, courage, and discipline. We are vet
In ignorance whether the retreat of the Otto
mans from their position at Oltentza is to be
regarded as the conclusion Of successful in.
cursion, or whether it was induced by the su.
perior force of Prince Gortschakoff on that
point, and the rapid swelling of the Danube,
which threatens shortly to become impossible:
for, though boats may swim in water, they can
not navigate the mud Of flooded lands, nor can
men wade through it. Nor do we know the
results OF the movements of the large body of
troops which crossed at Widdin. OF one thing
only we are certain, and that is, that the Otto
man soldiery have, as yet, everywhere proved
more than match for the Russian; that they
have Russian prisoners to show, whilst their
enemies cannot boast of single man cap
tured and that, on the chief point where Ga.t-
inl has as yet taken place, the Turk, in stt.
cessive combats, during the space of more than
one week, in each and all routed his opponents
and only retired with flying colors and with
out molestation," in the presence of a prodigi-
ously superior force. We have yet to learn the
effect which this may produce upon the mind
of the czar.
As we have said throughout, he can command
peace at any time by sacrificing his ambition at
the expense of his pride; and this, sooner or
later, he must do, for he can never successfully
contend with the men and resources of Eng
land and France. If he persevere he must en-
counter them and submit to defeat only more
ignominious because later. Already the very
position OF his feet at Sebastopo is typical Of
what his own situation is orwill be. That feet
dare not stir from its anchorage, because its
commanders well know that the consequence
OF a cruise in the Euxine would be their arrival
as prisoners OF war at the Bosphorus. The re-
Inducements so loudly demanded by Woron-
zof have not been sent, only because the corps
which was on its march for embarakation has
been countermanded, lest the transports should
be conducted, as they infallibly would, to Con-
stantinople, by the English and French vessels
OF war. May we hope, from the caution of the
czar, who appears unwilling to provoke the
combined fleets to hostilities that it may be
shown in the larger prospects Of the war, and
teach him to stop while he has yet suffered but
little. The fleets are ready for action. The
western powers determined to support their
ally, and already, we understand, that, at the
suggestion of Lord Stratford de Redclife and
the French ambassador, the admirals in com
mand OF the fleets at Constantinople have de-
spatched squadron of English and French
steamers as far as the Sulina mouths of the
Danube.-London Post.

UYsKILLED IN BRANDY.-The San Diego
California; Herald tells "a good story Of a
reverend gentleman Of that place. He is as
unsophisticated as child. One day he called
on liquor dealer, a member Of his church,
and incontinently inquired sIf Mr. Martel was
at home" No, he doesn't live,' said the
young man. "Ah! indeedm returned his rev.
erence;. and, stepping out, put.,on his venerable
spectacles and took another peep at the sign.
If Mr.. Martel is not at home," quoth he, re-
turning, perhaps could speak to Mr.. Otard
or Depuy" "He knows nothing Of the world"
thought the young man, and fervently mur-
mured-"God bless him. He has mistaken
Otard, Martel, and Dupuy, the names Of our
brandes, for the name of our firm The
reverend gentleman in another number con.
fesses the story, and said he thought it might
be Mr.. Martel, whom he had heard had lately

to do those things, we ask that you will be bold
and honest enough to take the responsibility,
and not throw il on us and those who agree

its miserable followers that desire to break up

the Baltimore platform, as we would ask fair
construction Of the Constitution of the United
States. II the Washington Union will keep
quiet, there will be no danger. The Presidents
message is high authority, higher than the
Laion, and that says: "The controversies
which have agitated the country heretofore, are
passing away with the cause which produced
them, and the passions which they had awak-
ened; or if any trace Of them remains, it may
be reasonably hoped that it will only be per-
ceived in the jealous rivalry of all good citi-
zens to testify their respect for the rights Of
the States, their devotion to the Union, and their
common determination that each one Of the
States, its institutions, its welfare, and its do
mestic peace shall be held alike secure under
the sacred egis Of the Constitution
If the administration is to be broken down. as
the Union apprehends, it will be broken down
by the course Of the Union and its coadjutors
