some Of the principal men of the Island were i'm

Gen. Quitman and his forces were expected
by the Cubans, who had made vigorous prepa-
ration to receive them. A strong body of troops
had been put in readiness, and feet of five OF
six Spanish vessels--three of them Steamers
Were in appropriate trim to receive an at
tack. 1t is now said that Colonel Kinney, has
relinquished his Central American enterprise
and joined his forces with Thrasher and Quit
man, for descent upon Cuba. 1t is rather a pity
that these men should 60 SO far from home to be
stranged.

Curious FACTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS
The Boston Transcript presents TO its readers
the following compilation of curious coinciden-
ces in the names and lives of the first seven
Presidents of the u s. Washington, John Adj
ans, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy
Adams, and jackson.
Four Of the seven were from Virginia. Two
of the same name were from Massachusetts, and
The seventh was from Tennessee. All but one
was sixty.siy years old on leaving Office, having
served two terms; and one of those who served
but one term, would have been sixty-six years
of age at the end Of another.
Three of the seven died on the fourth day of
July, and two of them on The same day and year.
Two Of them were on the subcommittee of
three that drafted the Declaration of Independ.
ence, and these two died on the same day and
year, and on the anniversary of the Declara-
lion of Independence, and just half q century
from The day Of the Declaration. The names
of three of the seven end with son." yet neith-
er of these transmitted his name to son. In
respect to the names of all, it may be said in
conclusion, the initials of two of the seven were
the same; and of two others that they were the
same; and the initials of still two others were
the same.
The remaining one who stands alone in this
particular, stands alone also in the admiration
and love Of his countrymen and of the civilized
world-Washingto Of the first five, only
one had son. and that son was also Presi-
dent
Another curious fact may be mentioned in this
connexion. 1t is, that neither of the Presi-
dents who had son was elected for second
term.

lations Semiramis enters, accompanied by Otanes,
aud Oryes leaves them. fiery interview follows
and the act closes with the reconciliation
of the mother and son. The fifth act brings
things to a crisis Assous resolves to kill Arsaces
In the tomb of MINUS but the plot Is revealed to his
intended victim by Arena. In the darkness Of the
malisoleum Arsaces, or Minus, wounds Semiramis,

Such is a very rough sketch OF this play, which
labors under the disadvantage Of being q theme
which writers of almost every kind have handled.
1t is we'll written, and abounds with splendid scenery
and fine music. 1t is tragedy in the completest
sense Of the word, there being nothing Of the comic
element in it from beginning to end. Without being
that the play deserves to succeed, and that it will
succeed. The verse is smooth, flowing and vigor-
GUS, and many of the dialogues are maintained with
great power and the general interest Of the piece is
kept up unto the close. There is no tagging. and
there il total absence of those inequalities which
We often find in dramatic works that otherwise
excellent. Opinions will differ to the propriety
OF emitting everything OF a comic kind. The ex-
ample OF Shakspere is in favor of dashing tragedy
with lighter things and the experience of life
shows that even the most sad and sombre career
has its lightsome moments. The tragic and the
comic elements march side by side with us through
our whole lives, and leave Us not while VIC have
breath with which to laugh OF to sigh. Some of the
most amusing portions OF Shakspere are to be
found in his deepest tragedies, as III Hamlet for
example, ard the decision of the English audiences
that the gravcdggers scene should not be left out
Of that play, is generally approved. ALTOONA.

SATURDAY, Sept. Is z. M.
The stock market was little more buoyant to-
day. There was, however, an unsettled feeling in
the minds of holders, which looks as though the
slight Improvement in prices was not considered
permanent. Operators for rise are not at all easy
and it strikes Us that in the Of week or two
holders of stocks will be glad to realize prices con-
siderably below those now current. At the first
board Pennsylvania Coal advanced per cent; New
York Central Railroad, |; Reading Railroad, s
Michigan Central, !; Cleveland and Pittsburg, l.
Galena and Chicago, I; Cleveland and Toledo, Il.
The rapid decline in Cleveland and Toledo induced
the bears to put out contracts very freely, without
a thought of anything else but the utter worthless
ness Of the stock az an investment for dividends,
and the temporary demand for the stock for deliv-
cry has caused temporary imitation. 1t will be
very short lived Those who keep in view the lit
tie value the stock actually possesses and operate in
the market accordingly need have no fears regard
ing the ultimate result. Reading sold TO some ex-
tent to-day ut an advance, but fell off towards the
close. New York Central and Eric sold at better
prices.
At the second board the tendency was downward,
and in some instances lower prices were accepted.
Cleveland and Toledo fell of per cent; Reading
Railroad, B; Erie Railroad, !, Chicago and Rock
Island advanced ! per cent.
