Miska Hauser, the knight errand of the violin,
who seeks new fields of fame away in the Sand
wich Islands aud the remote corners of the
world, seems TO be getting equally famous as a
historian aud romanoer in the way of newspaper
correspondence. We find him in the German
papers, we find him in the Paris La France Mu-
sicale. and in the English papers. Lately in
Chambers journal, in giving an account of a
concert ofSydney. (Australia.) he sketches an
independent editor" Of whose economies
we think it might be fair enough for every editor
to adopt in his own practice. He says:

Booth and several friends had been invited to.

The host though disappearing of theatre going,
had heard so much OF Booths remarkable pow
ers, that curiosity to see the man had, in this in
stance, overcome all his scruples and prejudice.
After the entertainment was over, lamps lighted,
aud the company reseated in the drawing room,
some one requested Booth, as particular favor.
aud ono which all present would doubtless ap-
preciatc to read aloud tho Lords prayer. Booth
expressed his willingness to afford them this graf
hoation and all eyes were turned expectantly
upon him Booth rose slowly and reverenily
from his chair. II was wonderful to watch The
play of emotions that convused his countenance
lie became deathly pale, and his eyes, turned
trembling upwards, were wet with tears. AS yet
he had not spoken. The silence could be felt.-
II became absolutely painful, until at last tho
fpell was broken, as il by electc shock, as
his rich toned voice, from white lips syllabed
forth, "Our Father who art in Heaven" &c.

So great was the effect produced (says our in
