THE HuNcHaAoK.

Were you at Maguire's on Tuesday?
Did you see. Matilda Heron
In the play that's called 1.-THE Hunehbaek 2
II not, you were out and injured.
The lady did the subject justice;
Always does SO when she tries it.
If you didn't 70 and see her,
See Miss Heron in "The Hunchback'"
can tell you all about 1t, %
And you'll save the sum Of six bits,
For the News is only two bits,
And to see Matilda Heron,
Takes dollar-nothing shorter.
But, before we 90 much further,
It is better that tell you
That when you see the name Of
"The world-renowned actress"
"The great Matilda heroD," 81
Stuck underneath "The Hunchback,"
Don't take up the idea, | l.s
Don't think for half minute,
That the world-renowned Miss Heron,
Is going to play the Hunchback. ...
That wouldn't do-that wouldn't answer;
She wasn't built right in the first place;
In the first place she's not humpbHcked;
In the next place she's woman
q should judge so from appesrance)i
Whereas the noble Hunchback
Was man and not woman.
So much for a preface, ..s..
And now I'll tell the story,
Tell the story Of "The Hunchback."
The Hunchback story in the drama
Is a tale Of "merrie England"
And the characters are "nobby;"
Consequently the location
OF the scene and sort Of people,
Are to Yankees strange and foreign.
I've never been to merrie England
Amt acquainted with Victoria,
Nor the Princess Alexandra, .'....
Never kissed that precious bsbby;
In short, am blarsted Yankee,
And the story Of the Huuchback
must tell in other language,
Suited to the land Of washoe.

When old Master Walter passed him,
Raised his ears and sung his "HsE.KAw !"
And the brokers and the gamblers,
Members Of the Legislature,
And the fifteen hundred lawyers,
And all people Of bad reputation,
When poor Walter travelled passed them
Crying " oranges, peanuts and candy"
Raised shout, and hooted at him
Such man was Master Walter.
One day some members Of the Legislature
Congregated on corner,
Full Of pride and lunch and whisky
Made some sport Of Master Walter,
When member from the country
1.-THE Honorable Thomas Clifford
Interposed for Master Walter
Told the hooting crowd to dty.up-
Stopped the nonsense mighty sudden.
Master Walter thanked young Clifford
And went of about his business,
With his basket full Of peanuts.
Clifford had been specializing,
Going heavy on the wildcat; ...-.....'
Bought too much Of Lady Bryan,
Got his foot too deep in Daney,
And about thousand others
Far too numerous t. mention.
Finally there came the panic,
When the mighty Gould & Curry.
Dropped quite sudden from five thousand
To quarter Of that figure,
And the rich, young Thomas Clifford.
Found himself with nary dollar.
And the gay and festive JULIA,
Who had promised on her honor
10 become the wife Of Clifford,
Threw him off and couldn't see him;
Threw him off and then accepted
Another man, who kept coal-yard. be
Then the broken-hearted Clifford
Had to seek situation,
Where to earn his board and lodging;
And he hired as Secretary
To this man that kept the coal-yard-
The man that was to marry JULIA. ..
One day the man that kept the coal.ysrd
Wrote letter to bis JULIA, ...
Sent it BY the Secretary
Secretary Thomas Clifford.
- well can't describe the meeting,
You had better go and see it.
Beauteous JULIA caterpillared,
And the Secretary Clifford ...
Walked of feeling rather streaksd-
And the re-awakened JULIA
Wanted to break of the bargain
With the man that kept the coal.yard.
On that day poor Master Walter,
Selling oranges, peanuts and candy,
Came tolovely JULIA's dwelling,
And she told him all her trouble;
How she still loved Thomas Clifford,
And would marry him for certain
If the man who kept the coal.yard 49,
Could somehow be gotten rid Of.
Then old Walter drew paper s 3d.
From his right-hand trowssrs pocket,
'TtOas the title to the eoalyand!
0entIe reaueI 90 you see nE
Do you see how lovely JULIA
Found her lovely foot was in It.
How old Master Walter
Had the matter Of the marriage, ea
Pretty much as be would h1ye isf
Then the grateful Master Walter
Recolleeted how Tom Clifford
Took his part that day, on c street.
And he joyfully sought Clifford,
Made him master ofthe eosl-yard,
Husband Of the happy JULIA,
That the story Of the Hunchbaek;
And the moral Of the story
Is that-when you zee hunehback
Ridiculed BY Esraisht-baeked lOafsrs,

From Cape Haytien.
Mn YoRK. Oct. 3O.


The St. Thomas correspondent of the Her
ald under date of October 7th, writes the e.
s. gunboat Kansas, Lieutenant commanding
c. II. Wells. arrived there on the 9Th from
Cape Haytien. The Kansas left Philadel-
phia on the 5th of August and arrived at the
Cape on the l4th, remaining until the ID, in
consequence of matters connected with the
revolution, which has since terminated, with
the understanding that the town shall be given
up to Gen Geffard This arrangement was
brought about by the action taken by L. S.
Consul Folsom, who was at one time in some
danger throughs the savagery of insurgents
under Solhave, who held the town. Capt
Wells wrote to the Consul to acquaint those
who considered themselves the authorities,
that he would resort to extreme measures
should any insult be offered to the American
flag through the person of the Consul, or 9TH
erwise. He also give notice that be would
hold the said authorities to account If they
continued to take away soft coal belonging to
the u. S. Government. The captain OF the
British gunboat Terror co-operated with Capt.
Wells in the matter.
The town of Cape Havtien was never at
anv time held by more than FIVE hundred in
surgents, and the insnrrection was confined
within its limits. Capt. Wells thinks that
two hundred determined men could have ta-
ken it any time. In fact the attempt at rev
olution is regarded as very contemplate af-
fair.
Solhaye is said to be the man who shot and
wounded Geffard's Minister of State, after
which crime he had to abscond beyond the
sea.
When the Kansas left Cape Haytien the I.
S. steamer De Soto, Capt. Walker, and the
British steamer Bull Dog, were in port.

ent Of established facts touching the proba-
bility Or possibility Of the members from the
newly reconstructed States taking thsif seats
at the outset and participating in the organi-

Washington says y
The clerk of the last House, by law,
holds over till the new House elects Speak

Of members. He calls this roll when the
House meets, and when the election oi
Speaker takes place he uses his roll Great
power is conferred upon the Clerk, but il
could not be otherwise.
" Mr.. Mcpherson has informed his friends,
without reservation, that he will not place
upon the official list Of members any person
claiming to be elected from State that has
been in Rebellion against the Government.
To do differently would be to decide. himself,
one of the most important questions before
Congress for to let in eighty Southern mem

their own recognition, would end the contro-
