Uniouc Thcn,ricnls in Australia.

+ A correspondent of she Riehmond (Va.)
Enquirer writes from Melbourne as follows;
The theater is another long canvass tent,
with really good stage and fair scenery.
The audience part is not as good-reversing
the order of things at home; for there, you
know, the manager only cares for his audi
ence: the actors get on as they can. The
part of the house that is styled the dress circle
is next the orchestra-simple boards-the bare
earth for their feet next to those, another set
of seats, called the stalls; beyond that, seats
like temporary circus, where their legs
hang down in space. ..4. a"l ..r.
Avonia ones has done an immense business
ever since we have been here. Last night she
played Blanca, with the thermometer ll0--the
house jammed. They pay her the high COM
pliment of being intensely still. / use the
superative; us am told, the two first weeks
they opened they kept up horrid din. One
of the reporters to a paper at place called
Maryborough, styles it mind over matter.
Be il what it may, they are as attentive and
appreciative us in Melbourne. One horrid
custom they have, and that is smoking. du-
ring the performance. The second night it
was SO bad that when they called her out she
very good naturedly asked them, as favor
MOTTO smoke during the performance. The
next night not cigar or pipe was to be seer
until the first piece was over, when, as by
magic, hundreds of tiny fires appeared. 20

The Gallantry Of Dreams-A DeIishtfuI
Phantom, Dad.


The New York correspondent Of the New
Orleans Picayune observes in recent let
ter.
know most intelligent and accom-
plished young lady, who has seldom slept
for the last seven years without being Wis
tied by phantom in the shape of d man,
handsome and more agreeable than any gen
tleman she has ever seen with her waking
eyes; and although at first she was fright
ened at his advances she now finds 10 these
delightful nightly interviews the chief charm
of life. This dream phantom makes love
like an angel. The lady is finely organized
and of a highly nervous temperament, and
the excitement of this ghostly intercourse is
exhausting her physical life. Every day her
cheek grow paler and thinner, and her eyes
brighter and larger. prestirie this strange
experience, which was confided TO me as a
profound and precious secret, with many
minute and most interesting particulars, is by
no means peculiar to my fair friend.
: This is a queer story, and we hope, the
young woman has not, under, the delicious
delusion of dreams (waking ones perhaps),
mistaken the nocturnal visits to her bed
chamber Of some ardent lover for those Of
what must prove, under the circumstances, a
very unsatisfactory ghost. -.1 -qsr. ...,

Terrible Anti-Clcrgy .Insurrection in
IN.II'. % tO Mexfc0. @ .' ''

A correspondent Of the New York Times,
writing from the city Of Mexico, says; D" ''
The news from the interior is all in favor
of the Constitutionalsts. Zacatecas has fal-
len into their hands again. The fall of Zaea-
tecas from the hands Of the clergy has been
the most bloody affair in the present civil
war. II appears that the clergy forces had
moved out from the city to attack 0rtega.
They had not been gone but few hours
when the populace rose against the Nnall
garrison, and in few moments the soldiers
were actually stoned TO death. The populace
then proceeded to destroy the municipal pal
ace, and kill the members of the Gyuntdmiento
found in 1t. Several houses, owned by per-
sons leaning to the clergy side, were also de-
stroyed, The populace then moved uponthe
churches, breaking down the DOORS and
dragging out the priests and friars and kill
ing them like dogs. This scene of riot and
ruin continued until 0rtega had got the better
of the clergy forces and moved into the city,
when, of course, order was established. The
details, of this affair have not been published
but are unquestionably, more or less, what
tell you, The horrors of this massacre came
from the exasparation of the populace against
the clergy, and prove most conclusively that
Zacatecas does not belong to the clergy.

A "GHosT' THRAsHED BY A WoMAN.-The
Lafayette Qnd.) Courier tells an amusing
story of a company of young ladies and gem
tlemen of that place who took it into their
heads to adjourn from a social party to a
walk near the cemetery, As they approached
the ghostly place a lady screamed; All eyes
turned to the point indicated by her alarm,
and saw a ghost coming toward them, ap-
pareled in orthodox white. They all ran, but
one sturdy woman Of the strong-minded class,
who stood her ground till the ghost got to
her, when she seized it, and thrashed out OF
his frightful disguise mischieyous fellow
who had heard the project of walking about
the grave-yare discussed, and hid himself
there t, give the party u fright. She led him
back to the house, and in reply to the ques.
tions that poured upon her, said; Cant foo
me- I've seen too many men in sheets to get
frightened at them!'' r,.. ..#r.
Doubtless she had; but we question if she
treated the other fellows so harshly as the
chap in the cemetery. T'Ha

: SINGULAR PREsENTIMENT TO A MINISTER
A letter from Ransom, Mich, of late date,
says: The Rev. J. J. Andridge, of this place,
last week took load of grain to mill, and
eight miles from home. He was importuned
to stay All night, but he declared it was con-
tjnually impressed upon his mind that he
must go home, and he did So notwithstand-
ing the urging to the contrary. He arrived
ut home about one o'clock at night, and just
in time to save his house from being burned
up, and probably his wife and children. His
family were all asleep, and his wife, when
awakened felt that smarting of the throat
caused by firebrand falling on the floor,
which had burned large hole in it. -

AN OLD MAN DELIBERATELY MURDERED BY
HIS SoN.--Abel Potter farmer, in easy cir
cumstances, and about seventy years old
was shot the other afternoon, at his residence,
in Greenfield, Mass, by his son, Philander +.
Potter. There had been dispute of long
continuance between the parties, and the son
farm, and, it is said, had repeatedly threat
ened to take the old gentleman's life, unless
satisfactory settlement should be made.
The dispute was renewed at the dinner-table,
after which the father lay down to sleep,
when the son loaded pistol and double
barreled gun, and fired four times through
the window and door, the last shot taking
effect in the fathers side, and producing a
wound that must result in speedy death.
The son then started off upon the publicroa
valse and gun in hand but was arrested
without resistance, within about half a mile
from home. tlfli 9. -l.' '''' n

PEcuN1ARY REASONS For ADVOCATING

PEcUN1ARY REASONS FOR ADVOCATING A
CANDIDATE FOR THE PREsIDENoY-The rea-
sons why General Joe Lanes friends are
pushing him so prominently forward as a
Presidential candidate are thus stated by the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Leader: ....-,it t.s....,f. s..8a,.ia.
"The anxiety to have General Lane elected
does not by any means wholly arise from po-
litical sympathy with his views. The clique
in question are largely interested in the Ore
gon war debt, which has been brought up by
parties friendly to them at ten cents on the
dollar. Now, as the alleged debt amounts to
more than six millions of dollars, and as
General Lane, if elected President, would of
course favor its payment, we have here an
inducement Of very solid proportions for the
support of that candidate, and the expendi-
ture of large sum of money to secure his
nomination. In other words, should General
Lane be elected, these spectators would re-
ceive six millions of dollars for q debt bought
up for six hundred thousand

A DOUBTFUL STORY OF CATHOLIC SuPERsrI-

said, have been profted by the late Protestant
rivival by selling charms to protect their
people against its influence. Bottles of holy
water, blessed by the priest and worn on the
person, are warranted to prevent an attack
of the revival, which seemed to be looked
upon as a sort of oontagion. Some of the
priests have taken large sums for these anti
dotes. A poor servant, who had bought one
of the charmed bottles for shilling, stole
into the room of his Protestant master and
shook it over his head while at prayers, to
prevent his being Struck aH raf7'd --
