AN UNEXPECTED BEoUEsT.-An amusing
story is current in Paris in regard to the late
birth OF the young Prince. While the unfor-
tunate mother was in those agonies Of child
birth to which Empresses are as liable as peas
ants, she begged to have the prayers Of the
gentlemen in the next room for her speedy
deliverance. These gentlemen were various
Ministers of State, officers of household, and
other hardenedold sinners, whose ideas of pray
er had become somewhat rusty through long
disuse. When the attendant brought in the
request, they stared at each other in blank
astonishment, but not a soul of them knew
how to 60 about it except Fould, Jew banker,
and minister Of the household. He alone,
Israelits, indeed, as he is, in whom there il
no guile, knelt solemnly on a pris-dieH, before
and image Of the Virgin Mary. and ferysntly
put up the required prayer.

"A THEATRICAL EVENT A circumstapoe
transpired at the National Theatre ON w ednss.
day evening last which We S1nnot refrain from
noticing with feelings Of admiration It wss
the debut of Master Charles Burke Jefferson.
tnamesske fSd nephew of the late lamented
comedian, Mr.. Charles Burke,) ave years Of
age, in the opera Of "CindereIls," !" In conjunc-
tion with the Pyne and Harrison Opera Troupe;
this young gentleman being the youngest
member OF the Oldest family now represented
upon the stage, and the fourth generation Of
one family who have appeared in our city
his grsat-grest grandfather being an eminent
contemporary and fellow actor Of Gsrrick in
1880. His name may still be seen in the act
ing editions OF most plays Of that date and
he was accounted Of sufficient talent and edu-
cation to be frequently accepted a. substitute
for the great actor Garrick himseif-an evil
dence, undoubtedly, of his high professional
standing This gentleman was the father of
Joseph Jefferson, who came to this country in
the year 1926, and in 1903 became associ sted
| with Messrs. Wood and Warren, of Philadel-
phla, and for an uninterrupted period of twen-
| ty-three years was the leading comedian of
| this country. He was connected with the frst
performances In Washington, snd is yet fresh
In the memory of many OF our old residents
To speak OF his merits We cannot do better
than quote the words Of Chief Justice Gibson,
OF Pennsylvania, inscribed upon his tomb at
Harrisburg:
An actor whose unrivalled power. took in
the whole range Of comic character, from
pathos to soul-shaking mirth His coloring of
the part was that Of nature-varm, pure, and
fresh; but OF nature enriched with the & nest
conceptions of genius. He was a member of
the Chestnut Street Theatre in it's palmiest
days; and the compeer Of Cooper, Wood,
Warren, and Francis, and long list of wor-
thies, who, like himself are remembered with
admiration and praise. With an unblemishcd
reputation as a man, he closed a career of pro-
tesslonal success at this place in 1882"
This gentleman's son, Mr.. Joseph Jefferson,
Jr., was also an actor and manager of much
celebrity for many years, and father of our
present comedian, Mr. j. Jefferson, who is but
twenty seven years of age, and has, by indus
try and laborious study, attained a position
as a comedian second to none, and, we may
add, with few equals Thus, we see, Master
Charles is the latest scion of a large family
who have been an honor to the stage, in ali
its fuctuating states, for a period of CEN
tury and quarter-when lingering and de-
pressed its earnest advocates and supporters
and in its prosperity lis brightest ornaments.
We wish for him all the success which has
crowned the efforts Of the forefsthers; and
with the benefit of the experience and re-
search Of so perfect an artist as his father.
we doubt not but he will become one of the
brightest stars that illumine the constellation
OF American dramatic genius.-Un,on

and sen were attending some fish lines ON the
river about three miles above here, when thew
were surprised by continuous, unusual roar
ing towards the middle Of the stream the
night was without wind. Owing to the dark
ness, no effort was made 10 ascertain the
cause OF this strange noise until daylight,
when il was seen that a whirlpool Of large ex-
tent was in active operation some two hun
dred yards from the Missouri shore, which
still continues in operation, drawing in great
body Of water; so much, indeed, that the vol.
ume of the river below is sensibly lessened.
Driftwood and large floating logs go in and
disappear totally. Many hundreds went up
yesterday TO see this strange sight. Unless
tbis immense chasm socn fills up with water.
the effect upon navigation will be calamitous
indeed, for it would seem that the bottom of
the river has really fallen out-Sguatter
