way avoided complcating the troubled affairs Of
continental Europe"

rapacity that seems TO have made even her
reckless passion subordinate TO her insatiate
ayarice. Nothing OF the innumerabe francs
guaranteed upon the experimental test Of
Yankee curiosity. II paints the heroine as
especially inspired TO reanimate the concep-
tons Of the great French poets-to counteract
the decline Of French yalor and liberty
and, having arrested the admiration of
her countrymen for the false Gods, which
modern genius has elevated, and subugated
them in spell-bound worship Of the earlier and
greater poets-comcs like her Imperial proto-
types to the conquest of a new world, leaving
the old for the time under her yiceregent and
sous lieutenant, Ristori. Instead, however, OF
regarding this really wonderful woman as the
Semiramis, or the Napolienne Of the drama, we
think her bulletins, her tactics, and the
solidity of her conquests rather resemble those
of THAT pinci-beck hero Santa Anna.
AT least her system of advertising is only
higher and moro elaborate style of humbug,
adding nothing, we think, to her reputation,
and less to her audience People go to see her
for her fame. If she was presented to the pub
lie in a hotel parlor, at SO much ticket, per-
haps more money. would be cleared than with
all the paraphernalia Of drama, which is no
thing to nine out of ten Of those who see it,
except an animated pantomime, interspersed
with fainting, robbing, and making love in
public.
But, whilst we admire the genius of other
lands, let us not be unmlndful of that, which
springs abundant andspontaneous in our own.
There exists in America genius, rare, varied,
and universal We have sculptors who have
risen to rcnown by the mere indulgence of
natural impulse; actors who have boldly and
beautifully presented their own impersonations
Of the highest dramatic conceptions; vocalists,
whose native powers require but the display
and competition of the theatres and schools of
Europe to stamp their claims to universal adj
miration. All this native material requires.
but public encouragement and appreciation, to
develope high order Of distinction in every
department and demonstrate that Americans
may compare either, in the gifts of nature or
the culture of art, with any nation upon any
theatre.

The female daily sent the child to the houses Of
farmers living in the vicinity to solicit food. Her
repeated visits, and the fact that men were seen
visiting the straw stack, induced complaint to be
made against the recluse. She was brought TO
this city and taken before Justice Parsons, where
she was arragned on a charge Of vagrancy She
refused to give her name, or indeed TO answer any
question, being angered at the invasion Of her pri-

Republican Defeat in Maine.

The new Republican party, SO called, has met
an early death in Maine. 1t took the field with
Boosting and hope. 1t called to its aid the prestige Of
the Temperance sentiment. 1t claimed to monopo-
lie the anti-Kansas feeling. II summoned to its
aid distinguished Republican Senator from Ohio.
And IL has been beaten. Morrill,, the present Gov
ernor, and Republican candidate for reelection, is
beaten by nearly 5000, and the anti-Republican
majority in the Legislature is overwhelming
1t is thus that the Republican party takes the
field this fall. If there was single State where
its prospects could have been considered good, in
advance Of the election, that State was Maine
And the result is before the public.
A large body of the Wings of Maine, feeling a
repugnance TO fusing with Abolitionsts nominated
q ticket of their own. The feeling by which the
Wings are animated Is not confined TO that State.
Such abolition harangues Senator Wade, Of Ohio,
delivered, In which dissolution of the Union was
contemplated as desirable contingency, are con-
fessed by the Boston Atlas, the chief organ Of
Tiepublicanism in Massachusetts,, TO have damaged
the cause like feeling in regard TO abolitionism,
prevails in this State. There are tens OF thou
sands Of Wings here as well as in Maine, who viii
not consent to enroll themselves under abolition
leaders.
II is conceded by the Massachusetts, "Republi-
cam organs, that the result In Maine will have a
powerful effect In the Bay State. And 1t will also
prove damper to the Republican party Of New
York. IL fusion, or Republicanism, falls to the
ground on its first appearance, what prospects can
Il have for the future? And IL il cannot stand
alone In Maine, where Is the more congenal cline
in which it can hope to fourishP Echo answers
