MATILDA HERON IN New YoRK.-This lady made
her debut in Wallack's theater, New York. on the
evening of the 22d and her success it appears was
fully up to her own expectations. The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier says:
The star of Mrs John Wood has disappeared from
the theatrical frmanent, and that of Miss Matilda
Heron looms brilliantly in the ascendant. This lady
was fusomely be-pued in advance, that the criti-
cal public became very suspicious and somewhat pre-
JUDGED against her. But in single night these were
all swept away and in place of doubts and dissatis-
faction, applause and almost trenzied enthusiasm
greeted one of the greatest actresses on the American
stage. ]
To read the criticisms in the morning papers of the
manner in which Miss Heron played Camille, at Wal
lacks theater, Thursday evening, you would have
imagined they had been drinking! Such unanimity
of praise and eulogy were scarcely ever showered
upon the graceful head Of debmante. Her heart must
have pulsated at 2.40 rate with rapture upon read
ing the pretty things sad of her in the newspapers
Friday morning But the lady seems to have borne al
her honors very meekly, as she has gone on drawing
increased houses every night and playing her part in
the same admirable manner and with the same deli
cate appreciation as on the first occasion
1t the starch out of our stiffness to think
that really great actress has grown up out Of
city and our knowledge. Can such things be ant
overcome us as Miss Heron has done, and the '.pro
vinces have exclusively enjoyed it. We inquire int
herantecedents and find that she has before appeared
in this city. This was some time ago. and then Mis-
Heron played at the Bowery which is tabooed by the
critics. We acknowledge our shortsightedness, ant
like certain persons, who are longest in seeing thu
point of joke, laugh loudest, we cover her mos
| thickly with the laurels of success.
| Yet shade Of doubt is mingled with the brigh
light in which we have viewed her. Can she pa,
anything so well as ''Camille?' Has she not beef
taught the words and attitude Of this play by SOM
consummate artist, and will she not be obliged to g
back to Paris before she startle the world witt
another such personation? These are the qualifica
tons to admiration-the sugarcoatng to the pill
we have to swallow in accepting, the greatest
tist of our day and country, one who has not beel
watched by our eyes, encouraged by our applause
and placed upon the pedestal of fame by our hands.

HUNTING TURKEYS BY STEAM.-The Memphis Bul-
letu is responsible for the following
One Of the most novel uses of railroads that has
come to our knowledge was demonstrated last night
by the down train of the Memphis and Charleston
company. When little beyond the Mississippi juno
ton it thundered through a flock Of wild turkeys,
killing two fine ones. One of them struck the head
light smashing the glass, putting out the light and
whence he was taken by the engueerin charge of the
locomotive. 1t is yet an undecided question, which
WAS most taken by surprise the engineer in having
his light put out call of sudden, or the turkey
in finding his flight thus suddenly cut short. 1t i;
clear however that the engineer got the best Of tht
bargain.

Mr. John A. Roebling. Of Trenton, who constructed
the Niagara suspension bridge, and is building
similar bridge over the Ohio from Cincinnati to Gov
inston suggests the construction of a suspension
bridge from Brooklyn to New York city, which shall
be 200 feet high in the centre, to allow the pas
sage of the taest vessels under it. Over the bridge
two railroad tracks to be laid, upon which passenger
be drawn over by means Of wire ropes passed over
machinery, to be moved by stationary steam engines
at each eld of the bridge. massive stone colutan
each end 800 feet in height to sustain wire cables to
which the tracks are be attached. The estimated
cost of the work will be two millions of dollars which
it is calculated will yield net income of S60a00o,

In all ages OF the world religious truth has been
compelled to make its appeal to two widely different
classes ofmen-the gross-minded and the speculative
the materalistic and the spiritualizng The former
find their extreme embodiment in the slaves of a
debasing Fetichism, unless the distinction should
more properly be awarded to the worshippers of
Mammon in Christian lands; the latter reach their
highest type in the contemplatiye Brahmins and
dozing Sufs with their supersensuous speculations
and theosophic dreams. And it was to confront
and leave without excuse each of these classes that
the great Apostle of the Gentiles determined to
preach only i" Christ crucifed' alike to the Jews
who required sign and to the Greeks who sought
after wisdom, though well foreseeing that to the
former such an evangel would prove stumbling
