DRAMATIC FoRGETFuLNEss. The following Gu
rious circumstance took place at the Lyceum
Theatre not long ago. During the perform
ances, the galleries thought proper to call for
their fayorite song of THE Sprig Of Shilielah,
though not announced in the bills. Mr.. john
stone, however, came forward with his usual
alacrity and good humor to comply with the
wishes of the house; accordingly, the music
played; but when Mr. Johnstone was to have
begun, lie stood silent. and apparently confused.
| Again the music played the symphony, but the
| same silence and confusion took place in rather
an increased degree A third time the music
played the symphony. but to no purpose. At
last, Mr.. Johnstone came forward and thus ad-
dressed the house:
''Ladies and Gentlemen, assure you that
have sung the song so often, that forget the
first line universal roar of laughter ensued,
and about two voices began to prompt the actor,

hand, which sent the Irish boy in haste to close
the door. Then taking the unstable chair which
the lad had disinterred from the closet, he sat
down cautiously, as a cat steals to the lap of
her mistress, whose temper is somewhat doubt
fuI, and glided into the business on hand. The
Irish boy stood meekly by, profting by the
scene, with knowing look, which deepened
into a grin of delight as he saw Mrs. Gray draw
forth her pocket book, and place bank-notes Of
considerable amount in the lawyers hand.
When the good woman had thus deposited half
the sum which the lawyer assured her would
save old Mr.. Warren's life, she arose with q
sigh Of profound satisfaction, shook out her
voluminous skirts and left the Office, fully satis
fed with the whole transaction.
The lawyer and 8. his man" followed her to
the door. When she disappeared down the street,
the lawyer turned briskly, and in the Joy of his
heart seized the Irish boy by the collar that
had lately graced his own neck, and gave him
a vigorous shake.
/" What are you grinning at, you dogs How
dare you laugh at my clientss There, now,
get along Take that and fill both the demi-
johns, buy clean pack of cards and q new
supply of every thing. Do you hears"
The Irish boy shook himself back into his
| coat, and seizing the money plunged into the
street, resolved not to return shilling Of
| change without first securing his months wages,
for which, as usual, his master was in arrears.
The lawyer threw himself into the Ieathern
chair which Mrs Gray had just left, stretched
forth his limbs, half closed his eyes, and rubbing
his palms softly together, sat thus full ten mi
| nutes caressing himself, and chuckling over the
| mornings business From Fashion and Famine,

His appearance was greeted with renewed
applause. Adams stepped down to the foot
lights, and began speech with 6 Men and
brethren!" The subject of his speech was the
intimate connection between the drama and the
preached gospel. At its conclusion. he held up
| the right hand and said, 1s Let US pray!" The
audience were hushed in profound stiffness at
the novelty of the scene and the impressiveness
| and feryor of the Elders prayer.
| He finished the prayer, and then with both
arms extended, he said, g The congregation
will please rise and be dismissed The audi
ence rose and received the benedietion and re-
tired as orderly as congregation on Sacra-
ment day. 1t was not until after they had
reached the open air, that the supreme ludi-
crousness of the scene just enacted struck the
people on the head As soon, however, as it got
through their hair, peals and peals Of laughter
echoed through the streets, as group after group
sought their own homes The Elder felt happy
that night He had killed two birds with one
stone; had given the people good play, good
scrap of doctrine, good prayer, and had dis
missed them with blessing 8

The Truth of History.

| Great pains are taken by Southern advocates
of the Nebraska bill, to show that the Missouri
compromise was passed by the Northern votes
and against the wishes of the South. An ex-
change quotes the following paragraph from the
| chapters of Col Bentons "reminiscences recent
| ly given to the public, which corrects this mis-
| take:
| "Tn the South there was some division among
| Southern members; but the whole vote in favor
| of it was 1874 to AZ in the negative, the latter
comprising some Northern members, as the
former did majority of the Southern; among
them one whose opinion had weight never eX-

Nebraska Bill.

The Paducah (Ky.) Democrat learns that
the following is a copy of the petition in
circulation to the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, having reference to the subject
of Nebraska. 1t presents new phrase IN
the question:
To the Honorable the General assembly Of the
State of Ohio:
The undersigned philanthropists beg
leave to represent to your honorable body,
that there is now pending in the Congress OF
the United States bill to organize the
Territories of Nebraska and Kansas That
bill is framed upon the Goddess and anti
republican principle, granting to the inhab.
itants of those Territories the privileges of
making their own laws and regulations.
According to the doctrine of the Little Giant
of the West, the Constitution of the United
States is TO be the only limit to their legis-
latve power.
Now the undersigned philanthropists
most respectfully ask: Is not that bill,
which invests the inhabitants of those col
onies with such Goddess and anti-republican
powers, the work of the veritabIe ''Old
Nick" himself? Do not we, living as we
do, several thousand miles distant from
those savage regions, know by far better the
wants of the vulgar populace that cultivates
the same? Whoever dares to doubt the
correctness of this. our assertion, commits a
fraud upon his fellow citizens, and is guilty
of high treason against the human family,
kneelug down in the most contemplate
submission to that abominable tygant, King
Alcohol.
What should Congress be SO Goddess and
corrupt as to permit the inhabitants OF
Nebraska and Kansas to sell "Hell and
Damnation" by the pint and the gallon!
Is Congress to permit those inhabitants to
poison one another by means of ardent
spirits. and to forward one another into
eternal damna,ion, under the shallow pre-
tense of sef-government!
No! such things can and shall never be
tolerated We are bound to rescue those
poor devils in Nebraska and Kansas from
the curse of self-government.
Therefore, we most urgently petition
your honorable body to instruct our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress to
engraft the Maine Liquor Law into the
Nebraska and Kansas bill.
Hoping that you may Immediately COM
ply with this just and phi|anthropic request,
and declaring, at the same time, that here
after no man can calculate on our votes who
is not in favor of ENGRAVING the Maine
Liquor Law upon every territorial bill.
We remain, most respectfully, &C.,
Thibodaux minerva. [volume] (Thibodaux, La.) 18??-1858, 1854-03-25

BRITISH VIEWS OF. THE AMERICAN NAVY.
The London Times, in the course of an
article on the American navy, holds the
following language: as9sss ga H.. \ i
"Whatever may be the actual condition
Of the American dock-yards, it would be
absurd to disparage the true naval strength
of The States No reasonable man would
think any more lightly of the maritime
power of the American Union from the cir
cumstances here disclosed. 4 Twenty years
ago. our own ports were spoken OF in almost
similar terms. What is il, then, that con-
tributes 50 elfectualIy 10 American reputa-
ton, and even carries il through exposures
which would otherwise prove destructive?
Simply the universal conviction: that all the
elements Of strength are in reality there in
abundance And what gives the convic-
ton r. Simply the knowledge that all the
seas OF the globe are covered with American
shipping; and that, thought the national
arsenals may not contain the materials for a
frigate, the yards, rivers and harbors of the
country, could turn out in IL months, or
eve,in as many weeks, such an army as
never YET crossed the ocean. Only the day
before yesterday we published detailed
enumeration Of the number Of steamships
which had been launched at the port of New
York alone, up to the first day Of the present
year; and these figures actually showed a
total Of &c, with an aggregate tonnage of
106: 900, or, in other words, sc. steamers;
averaging upwards Of 1900 tons each.
There can never be question about the
true navel power Of State like this"
