Mrs. SrDDoNs.-The year of 1872 witnessed the for,
NAL leavetaking of Mrs Sddons, an actress of the
most transcendent talents. Mr. Young himself re-
lated to Thomas Campbell the poet of Hope the
impression which that matchless woman once made
upon himself when he was playing with her in "The
Gamester,' upon the Edingburgh boards. In the
fifth act, when Beverly has swallowed the poison,
Bates enters and Mrs. Beverly in answer to charge
against her husband of having been seen quarreling
man! They had no quarrel they had no cause for
quarrel In uttering these words Mrs. Sldons caught
hold Of Jarvis, and gave an exclamation with such
piercing grief that Young said his throat sweed and
his utterance was choked. He stood, unable to speak
the sentence he ought Immediately to have uttered.
The pronpter repeated the line without effect when
the gifted actress walked up to tragedian, and in
low voice said, Mr.. Young, recoect yourself ~

Christy, the negro minstrel, who having made
princely fortune ont OF burnt cork and Ethiopian
melodies now lives the life of wealthy and fashion
able New Yorker. He recently made great da-h in
unusual attention from its pendor and the beauty of
the prancing stud of snow white horses to which it
was attached. In the summer, he drives out in an
fire large coach dog running under the carriage. He
is quite connoisseur in horse flesh and in driving
out alternates between his bay and white horses In
his promenade, he is accompanied by q large bull
terrier, splendid specimen of the canine race. His
wealth is prodigious, and as he has been economical
and aborious while earning it, he feels authorized to
spend it freely He may be frequently seen in the
dress circle of the Italian opera, and is always the
observed of all observers.

TERRIBLE DEATH. - An inquest was held, on
Thursday, in the town of Lyons on the body of a
German named Frederic Metz, who was found frozen
to death in a swamp. He was last seen OH the 18th
of December, when he left the farm where he lived
to go to neighborng house. and it is supposed that
he came to place in the swamp where the ice was
rotten, it raining at the time, and breaking it,,
was unable to extrcate himself, and so perished.
When found it was necessary to chip the body out in
a large block of ice with axes as the recent cold had
frozen to considerable depth. His body, from the
waist downward was below the surface of the swamp.
His head was bent downward and his hands casped
as is common in the attitude of prayer. He was Il
young man without family and is believed to have
relatives in Ohio TChicago Republican.

Mr. Forrest is the Anak Of the stage-the Boanerges
of actors. He has Romanesque physique a COM
binaton and form worthy Of the toga. His face
is expressive but rather OF strong passion than of
the Intellectual perception; and his voice better
suited to command armies than to WOO women. His
step is stately rather than graceful; and his move
ments more of the elephantine than OF the feline
order. All this saw upon his entrance upon the
stage, which was boisterously greeted and proudly
and impressively acknowledged.

GYMNASTICS IN SWEDISH ScHooLs.--There are two
respects in which the Swedish school-system is far
superior to One is in the universal teaching of
gymnastic exercises. Every school building has its
large, high roOm with earthen or matted floor, and
all sorts of implements for developing the muscles
ladders poles, wooden horses, crossbars up to the
roof, jumping places, ropes for swinging knotted
ropes for climbing, etc. The scholars not allowed
to exercise on what they wish but there is regular,
scientifically arranged system. They trained i'll
squads, and move and march, sometimes to music, at
the word Of command. At large public school at
Stockholm, saw the lads in their noon lesson at
gymnastics. The teacher gave the word, and dozen
sprang out toward tall pole with crossbars, and
cambering up it, each hung with his legs then again
recovered themselves and let themselves down.
Another party, one after the other, squirmed up a
naked mast another pulled themselves up hand over
hand on knotted rope others, in succession, played
leapfrog over wooden horse they then marched to
the beat of the drum. The smaller or weaker boys
begin with the lowest grade of exercise, and follow
up according to scientific system, arranged for
health. They all seem to go into it with the greatest
relish and showed wei! trained muscular power.

the Swedish men is not entirely due to climate. When

An Ode on the Sub-At1antlc Telegraph.
BY FRANCIS LIEBER.

BY FRANCIS LIEBER.
Ere they have rven our continent in twain,
To wed the widest seas at Panama;
Ere they have broken through the banks Of sand
That tie the east tC Africa,
They weave thread in hstory's flowing robe
Worthy the rapturous strain of Pindar's Tyre
They bury far beneath the changing times
Their interhemispheric wire
We joyed when distant nations OF the globe
To England's Thames their skill and fabrics sent
Joy more when Europe bends to whisper words
Into the ears Of giant Occident ..
Not science shall this work and wonder claim:
Far more was needed-al that nobly fills
The souls of races with settled thought,
And godlike, binds the scattered wills.
Ye two to whom our God has freedom given,
Whence others freedoms nourishment must draw,
Commune like kin, and place the precious thread
'Gainst war, beneath the nations law.
Commune increasingly, exchange, increase
The means of peace and culture, large and high
Without this dowry modern freedom must
Fevered and selfconsuming, die.

FER RtyERs.-The St. Louis Democrat

THE UPPER RIvERs.-The St. Louis Democrat of
the 9Th says:
The river continues to fall slowly, with about five
feet in the channel to Cairo Weather cold and clear
During yesterday the ice in the river opposite the city
was gradually getting thinner and lighter and be-
fore dark there was nothing but thin, soft ice to be
seen such as would not in the least inure a steam
boat whether bound up Or down. The ferry boats
crossed the river as easily as during the summer
months. The cause Of the decrease in the floating
ice is that the Missouri is gOrged hard and fast at
Howard Bend, and but little ice come from that
river. The Mississippi is gorged about 40 miles above
St. Louis Cap al.Gris, and but little ice is com
ing from that quarter; the Illinois is frozen solid
and of course none can come out of that stream.
The Louisville Jonrnal of the 7th says:
Steamboat have finally become reconci!ed, and
are patiently waiting ''the good time coming" The
river is closed by ice above and below this port and
very low, and the weather continues very cold. The
thermometer at FletCher'S night before last, went
down to II degrees above zero Yesterday afternoon
it was thawing little.
The Memphis Bulletin of the 9th says:
River still falling at this point with only niNc feet
water reported on the bar beoy. The ice commenced
running past here about noon yesterday quite iIgh
at first, but steadily Increasing and at dark last nigh
it was pretty heavy. BY this morning it will be SUI
iciently heavy to hinder the progress Of upwar
bound boats, yet not to suspend navigation abOv
here.
