ST. CHARLES THEATER.-Thongh the weather was
yainous, this establishment was filled last night.
John Brougham's farce of The Irish Fortune
Hunters offered for the FIRST time was an uproarious
success Collins being quite as pleasant in it as in
any of the hnckneyed old pieces in which he has
been playing 50 long. The Wrong Passenger went
of all right; and My Friend from Leatherhead''
made the friendship Of all the audience
The cause ofthe filling Of the house in such weather
however, was the attendance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Douglas by invitation. They occupied the i'm
perial seat 0he middle front of the dress crele)
and, being designated by wreathing of star.and-
Stripe the seat could not fail to designate who tsoc-
cppants were. On entering the distinguished visitor
aud his lady greeted by national airs from the
orchestra, and hearty round of hand-clapping ap.
plause from the audience after which the play went
ahead. Tmothrds Of the audience at least, regarded
the g Little Giant and his beautiful wife, as the
prime attractions of the OCCASION and seemed to
think Of little else

Pitcairn's Island--The Bible.

The following interesting account was
given, few years ago, at the anniversa-
ry Of the British Foreign Bible Society,
OF the influence of that Book at Pitcairn's
Island The island, it will be remem-
bcred, was settled by the mutineers of the
English ship Bounty, who took with
them as wives several Tahitian women.
The Bible was the only instrument by
which they founded and nurtured a NOR
al andreligious community. Thus spoke
the Bishop Of Cologne:
1T cannot be unknown to any of you
that one Of the common sailors. unassist-
cd by any knowledge except what the
Bible gave him, was himself, by peculiar
circumstances, placed at the mead of
community, in one ofthe scattered islands
in the South Sea. The whole society
looked up to him as their civil and relig-
ious legislator and, assisted by his BIZ
bic alone, he taught them simply what
the Bible taught him, the knowledge of
God, and Of Jesus Christ whom be sent.
They all know the creed and the Lords
Prayer. Their first employment at sun
rise, is to repeat that prayer, and to bless
their Creator for giving them another
day and at their meals they continue
the pious custom-once universally fol-
lowed here, but now l fear growing too
much into disuse,-of thanking God for
furnishing them with food and giving
them health to enjoy it. The young
people marry as soon as they are of a
manageable age, and portion of ground
is given TO them to cultivate for them
selves. When it was asked if any in
stance Of RIGHTEOUSNESS had occurred
among them, it was answered, "not
one ;" if any quarrels or fighting, they
replied in their simple language, L" only a
few battles Of the mouth" Their reli-
gion was the pure word of God, and
their practice correspondent with it"
Of that Bible We have the following
notice:
At recent meeting of Sabbath schools

in Boston, Mr.. Alpheus Hardy made
some pertinent remarks on the impor-
lance Of the study of the Bible. In the
course of his address he exhibited the
very Bible which had been in the pos
session of Adams, one Of the mutineers
of the famous Bounty, and which was
the means of Christianising Pitcairn's
Island. 1t was brought from that island
some years since. It is 4 small clasp
bible and was printed in Edinburgh, in
1884. 1t bears on one of the blank
leaves at the end this sentence Pre-
scented to Mr.. Lewis Hayden from Miss
Tor Mrs. Mary Christian, of Pitcairn
Island, Aug. goth, 1887"
The Mary Christian in question was
a daughter Of the man whose history has
been so well known in connection with
the mutiny of the Bounty. The bible
il question being in fine print, It's former
possessor gave it to Mr.. Hayden in ex-
change for one of a coarser print. The
leaf which backs the title page to the
New Testament has upon it: "Alex,
Hutchoon, and Christian Cato, married

60 Gen. Jim Lane delivered an ora
ton at Brownsville, Kansas, on the 9Th.
No sooner did be appear than three
cheers were given for " Gen. Lane and
self-defense." In his speech, Gen. Lane
alluded to the homicide as having been
unavoidable on his part, but yet the most
unfortunate event of his life. The Law
renee correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, thinks that the affair has
not by any means destroyed Lanes polit-
zeal prospects, as was at first supposed.
