MILE Rachel's Debut I'm America.

| About ten days ago we chroncled the arrival
of Mademoiselle Rachel in New York On Mon
day night she made her debut at the metropolitan
Theatre in that city. The New York Herald
says:
The spacious theatre was crowded at the rising
of the curtain. The audience included all classes
| and all nationalities in the community. There
never has been, Of late years, such turnout of
old theatre-goers The parquette seemed almost
like the old Park pit over again. Not even Jenny
Lind attracted such concourse of habitues Of the
playhouse. The delegates from Young New
York were Of course in the majority, but we rare
ly see SO many old men in theatre as were
gathered in the Metropolitan Theatre last night
The house was what is called 'back" one; that
| is, two-thirds Of the audience were men, Why
the ladies' stayed away we cannot say; but, at any
rate, the "lords Of creation" predominated. Per-
haps the female part of the community were kept
| away by the wicked stories told about Rachel
But they will come yet.
The house very full. The aggregate re-
ceipts could not have been less than $1,000.
The performance commenced with the comedy
entitled s'Les Droits De l. Homme, - after which
was presented the celebrated tragedy Of "Les
Horaces'
The feeling Of curiosity seemed to especially
inspire the majority of the American audience
They seemed to think that they had merely come
to see very great show, and they desired to have
the affair finished at once. They changed their
minds, however, before it was concluded, and
wished there more of it. Fashionable society
was not strongly represented. The audience was
very much diversified and mixed up. The lite
rary and art world sent its best people-and the
occasion seemed to be a reunion of persons who
know everybody of any consequence, and were,
consequently, very well known themselves.
Rachel's pantomime is more eloquent than the
words of an ordinary actress. Her face is not
handsome, but very expressive. Her figure re.
sembed, though it is somewhat thinner than that
Of Miss Julia Dean She is an actress that once
seen never be forgotten. The writer of this
has seen a great many theatrical performances
and great deal of what is called good acting
The Camille of M lie Rachel is the only piece of
good acting that he has ever seen.
The audience seemed astonished by it; but at
the fall of the curtain, their applause, which had
been showering, broke forth in perfect storm,
and there a unanimous call for Rachel. The
curtain rose, and she discovered in the centre
of the stage, very pale. very tremulous, and very
much exhausted. She acknowledged the APP
pause three times, and seemed SO much exhaust
ed that M. Felix came from the wing and carried
her off. Some uncharitable people said that this
was uffectation. We, on the contrary, think it
remarkable that person with such light physical
timber should have succeeded in producing such
extraordinary effects without being still more ex-
hausted than she seemed to be.

Surgical Operation.

ON Thursday last. an interesting surgical
operation wus performed by DR.. A. REEVES
JACKSON, of this place, for the removal of a
tumor from the mouth of Mrs. Ann Pedrick.
The tumor was situated on the upper jaw,
springing from the roots Of the lncisor teeth
and filing the front part Of the mouth, caus.
ing considerable deformity. 1t had been
growing for the space of four years and
half, giving the patient great deal of an.
noyance. Within a few month it had shown
disposition to assume malignant character
and was hence deemed expedient to remove
the whole mass by operation, without delay
The operation occupied but few minutes
of time, and gave the patient very little pain
She is now doing well, and is relieved from
an unsightly, and what might have proven
a dangerous disease.

Attemnt TO burn a dead Podv.

The wife of a Russian named Pfeil, q
gentleman of wealth and accomplish
ments, died in Milwaukee on the 18th
She was a Brahmin in her faith, and re-
quested that at her death her bodyIshould
be burned, as provided by her religion
Her husband proceeded to comply with
her request and had arranged sixteen
cords of wood for the purpose. The po-
lice, however, interfered, and despite his
persistent remonstrances, enclosed the
body ' in a coffin and gave it burial. We
do not see What right the police had to
interfere or why Mr.. Pfei!, should be de-
nounced in the Milwaukee papers, as he
has been, as heathen. Whether the
dead shall be buried or burned and their
ashes preserved, is purely matter OF
taste and feeling. Among the intelligent
and virtuous in various counties and ages
the usage has varied. There is no law in
this country regulating the matter, but
every one is properly left to the guidance
of his own sentiment-HOneSdale Demo

IT The following sensible sugges-
tions we clip from the Luzerne Uni0n.-
They convey much useful advice to the
people wherever the staff Of life is con-
sumed. The poor, and indeed those in
good circumstances, for upwards OF a
year have labored and groaned, and in
many instances, almost starved, that the
spectators might grow fat upon their
hard earnings and misery There is an
abundance of wheat in the country-suf-
fcient for home consumption, and to
spare, and it could we'll be afforded at
living instead of a dying price, if the
trade was out Of the hands of the land
pirates, who are robtins the consumers
This article suggests remedy, and II
those interested throughout the country
will initiate the examples cited, We shall
soon see spectators coming down, and
Breadstuffs with them.
REDUCING THE PRICE OF FLoUR.-I
| is an observable fact that the exhorbitant
price demanded by speculators for th'
simple article, Flour, is driving the citi
zens of many sections of the country In
to combinations to reduce the price o
that indispensable article. A number
of the citizens of Concord, n. H., (wher
-four is selling at Sl2 so per bbl., } recent
ly got up subscription and sent an
gent to the West to purchase 800 bbls
He returned a few days ago and delivere'
it to subscribers at 1915 pOr bbl. Thi
plan has been adopted by several towns i
the East. The citizens of Thompson
vile, Conn, recently united in purchas
ing two hundred and ffty two barrels c
-four from the manufactu rers at Roches
ter, and it was delivered at their doors a
SO, SO per barrel. This was saving c
two dollars and half or three dollar
on a barrel. The "Bread League" i
Charlston, Mass, has been organized
and five hundred barrels Of -four hav
been subscribed for. Every section {
the country, where the price of Flour
kept up, to the misery of the poor, wi
be driven into this move, if some reform
is not effected in the matter by dealers
Forestalling the market must cease
With legitimate dealers lies the cure 70
this evil, and the satsty of their busines
eventually, compel them to attempt
change, if they do not wish to see "Brea
Leagues" in every direction, interferin
with their operations. People are wear
ed of paving out all they make for food.

misdirect it's energies and pervert and de-
base its uses, and my word for it, 1t WILL
be too strong for the assailants Of the
ballot-box. But if it is motif it cannot
secure to the citizens of the Union
free speech, and free
suffrage - if it has become so hoary
in corruption and decay that it can no
longer subserve the eminent and essential
purpose for which the sages of the Revo-
luton erected it, no threat of its dissolu-
ton from the men who would enslave US,
should compel US to bow our necks to the
woke and give our limbs to the shackies
loud and prolongedapplause.)
To morrow night the first acts OF the
drama will have closed-when again the
curtain rises it will be upon other scenes,
Thus far our prospects have at every step
improved. We know that our numbers
have increased-our organization has
grown in strength and eficiency-and
our friends in all parts of the Territory
have emerged from state of distrust and
silent apprehension to the bold outspoken
cheerfulness and willing united effort OF
sanguine and determined men. Enemies
have become friends, and friends have be-
come more united, cordial and Efficient
1t needed the outside pressure we have
received to complete our organization and
develope our strength. That we are in a
most decided preponderance of numbers
over our opponents, no opponents who
resides in the territory and values his
reputation will pretend to deny. All a
bout us in every portion of the Territory,
as you well know from the reports of the
canvassing committees, our friends are
fervent in the cause, and those who few
short months ago were pro-slavery men,
and some of whom are shareholders yet
convinced by the contrast presented in the
creed and conduct of the two parties and
awakened to a sense of their disfranchise
ment, are rallyiug in numbers to our flag
and identify themselves permanently will
our party.
The pro-slayery men around you who
still adhere to their opinions, to large
extent, as you know concur with US il
repudiating the acts of the legislature ,ant
avow their determination to fight on to-
side of Kansas, and stake their lives a
the ballot box whenever another invasion
shall make it necessary. These are cheer
ing signs indeed, and give us high assur
ance that Providence in its wisdom ha
, decided the fate of Kansas-that our in
, stitutions are fixed far beyond the powc
of small demagogues and their misguide
followers to change or affect; and that, i
/ due time, instead of coDgratulating eac
other on our prospects and our hopes, w
shall be rejoicing over the econsummation
and instead of my assurance to the fe'
hundred persons within these wslls, tn
shouts of thousands shall boom along ou
lovely plains, and the blazing bonfr
from every bill shall announce that ou
work is done, and that Kansas is free =
Loud, prolonged and deafening cheers.
