Strange Deptiopement. 4 correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Gazette writes from Pits
burg that when the case of Passmore VIII
hanson was argued, last Summer, at Bed
ford, on the motion to bring Williamson out
on writ Of habeas corpus, three OF the judy
es, Messrs. Louvre, " oodward and Knox
wer1 IN favor OF granting the writ, and two
{ Hessrs. Black aud Lewis opposed TO it,
When the Court Te-assemhled M Phladel-
phla Judge Kane and his friends had an IN
tarvlew with our Judges, and communicated
TO them the fact that the President had or
dered the Uni ed States Marshal, IN case the
Court should direct the writ to issue, to re.
move williamson from Moyamensng TO a
United States receiving ship, and defend
HIM there, with u. y marines aud soldiers.
against any force the State might send to
take him. The question presented 10 our
Judges was, whether Il was prudent to risk
the threatened collision? | am sorry to say
that they thought II was not. they had not
the nerve Ia stand up for State rights. judy
es Lowrle AMI Woodward changed their opin
ions, and Inc writ OF hdbeas corpus was not
issued The threat-lor Il was a threat
should have been an incentive TO It's issue,
instead of the puslanlmous course adopted !;
ior the question of State n hts has got to be
settled, and this was the opportunity needed.

ANEcDoTE OF SHERIDAN.

Hollands theatre, the handsomest in the kingdom, was destined to a short existence, being totally burned down on the night of February 24th, 1909, when it had stood only fifteen years. The following authentic anecdote in connection with the building has not before, as we believe, appeared in print. Holland could never obtain set,le- ment or even an interview on the subject with Sheridan. He hunted him for weeks and months at his own house, at the theatre, at his usual resorts but he was nowhere to be seen. At last he tracked him to the stage-door. rushed in in spite of the op- position of the burly porter, and found the manager on the stage conversing with a party of gentlemenlwh he had invited 10 show them the theatre. Sheridan saw Holland approaching, and knowing that escape was this time impossible, put hold face on the matter '.Ah my dear f.llow,' D exclaimed he, "you are the very man | wanted to see-yoa have come most opropos. l am truly sorry you have had the trouble of calling on me so often. but now we are met. in few minutes shall be at liberty {; We will then go into my room together and settle our affairs. But first you must decide an important question here. Some of these gentlemen tell me there are complaints, and lond ones that the transmission of sound is defective in your beautiful theatre-that, in fact. the galleries can not hear at all-and that is the reason why they have become so noisy of late" s.Sound defective! no, hear !' reiterated the astonished architect, turning pale, and almost staggering back ; C why, 1t is the most perfect building for sound that ever was erected I'll stake my reputation on it, the complaint is most groundless." l" So say." retorted Sheri- dan; but now we'll bring the question to issue de6nilively .and then have paragraph or two in the papers. Do you, Holland, 20 and place yourself at the back of the upper gallery, while stand here on the stage and talk to you.' :. Certainly" said Holland, with the greatest pleasure" A lantern was provided. with trusty guide, and away went the architect through labyrinth of dark and winding passages. almost a days journey, until he reached his distant and elevated post. Now, MT. Holland.' .'' cried Sheridan, !" are you there and ready !" Yes, was the immediate answer. :. Can you hear ne '" :. Perfectly, perfectly, Mir. Sheridan!" ..Then I wish you very good-morning." So saying, Sheridan dis appeared. and was two or three miles off before Holland could descend. Another long interval occurred ere he was able 10 chase the fugitive to his lair again.
