In order to simplify dramatic criticism. a
gentleman belonging to the New York Stock
Exchange suggests that writers on theatri-
Gals adopt the terms in use in '' the Boards. y
For instance, instead of quoting theatrical
stars by the vulgar degrees of comparison
good, better, best-say at once that Forrest
began at = and rose to S0a that the critics
did Clark up to 995, but that he closed at IS;
that Miss Littlestar, by various reports from
the country, had been "bulled'' to 90, but
she fell in one day less than so per cent. !;
that the last new comedy had begun at 629,
fuctuated very much in the course of the
evening, and closed at 452 Managers who
produce attractions and announce as - great
treats" matters which dwindle to very cold
collations, must be quoted as opening at 100
and g waddling out'' at great loss.-Er.
The idea is a good one. though John
Phoenix" should have the credit for it. Such
a plan would save much ink and much agi-
tation of brain in pursuit of new words or
styles among critics. We commend it to the
Bohemians at the Bay.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.-A remarkable ex
plot was performed recently on board the
ship Mindanao. homeward bound from Iqui-
que to Liverpool 1t appears that when the
ship was to the south and eastward of Cape
Horn she sprung a leak and made to the ex-
tent of six inches of water in an hour. The
vessel was placed in imminent danger, and
it was only by constant pumping the leak
could be kept down. After the pumping
had continued about six weeks. the vessel
being then about two degrees north of the
equator, it was considered desirable to
ascertain, if possible, the position of the
leak. With this object Mr. VIM. Hewitt,
the chief officer, volunteered to 90 over
board and examine the vessel. Having
dived into the sea he looked all along the
hull of the ship, and ultimately found out
that water-bolt on the starboard side of the
upper rudder band had worked out, and this
caused the leak. On reaching the surface of
the water, the diver directed the carpenter
to make stout wooden plug, and having
obtained it he again descended. Having in
serted the plug into the bolt hole, whence
the leak originated, he succeeded in striking
it with his hand to fix it temporarily, and
was obliged to come up Immediately for re-
spiration. A third time he descended, tax
ing with him a hammer, with which be
struck the plug fixing it as firmly as circum
stances would permit. That his efforts were
successful was proved by the fact that the
leakage of the ship ceased, and she made no
more than the usual quantity of water, three
quarters of an inch, during the remainder Of
voyage. The plug still remains in the ship.
The depth that he reached in diving under
the vessel was about six or seven feet, the
difficulty of the operation being increased by
the rising and falling of the ship consequent
on the swell which prevailed at the time.

AN OLD PRoPHEcY OF FENIAN Success
At a Fenian meeting in San Jose. on the
night of October 7th, paper was read by
the Rev. Father Curly, says the Patriot,
which assumed to be a prophecy of Saint
MaIaehy, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland,
in the twelfth century. 1t was found by
the celebrated Mablhon, in the Abbey of
Einsdilin in the seventeenth century, and
was sent by him, with an able letter, vouch
ing for its authenticity, to most Rev. Oliver
Piunkett, who was hanged, emboweled and
quartered in London for his sympathy with
his native country. and is accounted for up
to the present day. 1t consists mainly of
three parts: The historic evidence, the
prophecy ITSELF and finally, the disclosures
of history which are set forth in general as
the counterpart of revelaton-the express
sion by facts of what had been foreshown to
the Saints. The historic part is vindicated
as already set forth, but no authority is
claimed for the manuscript beyond what is
due to it on its own merits, as well authen-
ticated ancient relic. The prophecy declares
that English rule was to cease forever at the
end of 70G from the first invasion of Ireland,
and it is known that the English invasion of
Ireland took place in 1869 under Strongbow.
Earl Of Chepstow and Pembroke and sup
posing the document authentic, it is calcula-
ted the 700 years will expire in 1867
Yet it is set forth that if the matter of old
Erin's regeneration commence at or before
that time the old prophecy would be fulfill
ed, though. some time elapse before its COM
plete realization.

CAMERON is swindler, Butler thief, Jim
Lane and John Brown murderers and trait
ors. but they are loyal, and when Democrats
speak of them as they deserve, they utter
expressions of disloyaltyn in the estimation
of the Courier
The above are the closing lines of para
graph in the Mountain Democrat of Saturday
last commenting upon line and half
clipped from the COURIER, reading thus =
Expressions of disloyalty are frequent in
the mouths of Democrats" Whether such
language is disloyal in the estimation of the
COURIER or not, we are willing to give the
Democratic sentiment the benefit of our cir.
culation, and let our readers judge. In
return. we ask the Democrat if it is loyal to
extend aid and comfort to the enemies of our
country in time of war? If JEFF. Davis Is
not much injured, chivalrous gentleman
If the assassination of President Lincoln by
| Davis friends, in time of war, was not an
act over which Democrats should be permit
ted to publicly rejoice with impunity? If the
| imprisonment of such is not unconstitutional
and anti Democratic? Do not Democrats
utter disloyal sentiments when, in time of
war, they loudly cheer for the leader of our
country's enemies as well as for the assas
sins who took the life of our country's Chief
Magistrate? If it is loyal for Democrats to
do such things, then we were wrong in
saying Expressions of disloyalty are fire.
