a Gay French Actress.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Gozette says:
1t you would judge of the extravagance
OF Paris, visit the theatres, and see how the
actresses are dressed. Each tries to
ou,sbine the other in the beauty of
her diamonds, laces, silks. &c., &c.

who plays La Belle HELENE at the Varie-
ties. She had ordered one of those inn
mense crinoline skirts still iu vogue, and
which are to be seen, in tho avenue des
Clamps Elysces, covering the whole front
and back seats of the carriage in which
such throne unattended. No carriage Of
contemporary make could hold two
women SO attired. The crlnolins was sent
home. She was absent rehearsal at the
time it came. When she rode out that
evening she wore il, and Immediately on
her return home sent it to the tradesman,
saying: Il will not wear such horrid thing,

least difficulty" That will show you the
tendency of life here; we are all strainiDg
after the impossible. While this actress

anecdose OF her. 1t will show you how
stupid and teartiess actresses of her class
are-aud remember these are the womon

One evening she went on foot from her
house to the theatre, leaning on the arm of
the Duke dc. On the way there she
noticed in shop an English trinket.-
Nothing must do but she must have it, let
the cost be what it might. They entered
the shop. The trinket had been sold, and
no more like it remained on hand, besides
the shopkeeper expected no new supply
for week or ten days. She was vexed,
fell into ill.hunor, and turned the Duke
off the moment they reached the theatre
door. He said uotbDg, ordered carriage,
and ordered the driver to. take him to
The Northern Railroad station. He took
the train for Calais, and reached London
the next morning He went 10 buy the
desired triDket, and took the return train
for Paris as soon as he was in possession of
it, He reached Paris the same night, and
went in triumph to Mile. Scbeider's room.
When be told her the trouble he was at to
crafty her least whim, she burst into a
laugh and said, "Ah! uois tu, mon petit. I
shall never love you-you are too stupid"
Such is their heart.

A Wise Child that Knew His Own Faith.

On the corner of Fifth Avenue and Seventh
Street, while the Highland Regiment was
passing an extraordinary crowd, little .ei-
low of the tender age OF four summers
rushed up to one of it's members, shouting,
"Hooray, daddy! hcoray! Give me FIVE
cents!" The veteran, though he had never
seen the urchin before, picked him up in
his arms and kissed him, when his own
wife, whom he bad not seen or heard from
for over four years, pressed up to him and
seized him by the hand. When the greet
iDgs natural TO the occasion were over,
judge of his establishment to learn that he
was indeed the father OF the little boy whom
be held in his arms, who had been born in
his absence, and who, by strange and un-
accountable instinct, knew his parent,
though behoiding him for the first time
These circumstances created lively interest
among some ladies and gentlemen who
were made acquainted with them; the for

and gave the little one some peppermint
candy, while the gentlemen took "papa"

DR.. Johnson's s Aversion to PLAYERS.

At all periods of his life, DR.. johnson
used to talk contemptuously of players
Perhaps this was not without reason. al.
though there is no doubt that much of the
great moralsts acrimony at this class of
men came from human infrmity. His best
friends admit that he was jealous of his pu-
pill. Garrick, whose position be thought too
high when compared with that of literary
men, and there seems good reason to be.
Iieve that bo even envied Sheridan. On
one occasion, after seeing Garrick perform.
he declared that the players bad got kind
of rant, with which they run on without re-
gard to accent or emphasis. Garrick re-.
sented the sarcasm, and johnson asked him
to repeat the Ninth Commandment, Thou
shalt not bear false witness against tby
neighbor," which he did, and failed. in the
estimation of johnson and of DR.. Taylor.
who was present, who both insisted that the
emphasis should be upon not and false ,oit.
ness johnson is said to have been in great
glee at the actors failure; but it is difficult
10 sec with what justice, for even Boswell
insists that tho emphasis should be equally
upon shalt and not, us both concur to form
the negative injunction, and false ,citness,
like the other acts prohibited in tho deca-
logue, should not be marked by any pecu-
liar emphasis, but only be distinctly enun.
ciated. Kearuey, in commenting on the
story, says moderate emphasis should be
placed on false. Sheridan, in his Art of
Reading, places the emphasis wholly on
false. We incline to think that the best
readers in our day place the emphasis on
no one word, 5ut distinctly enunciate the
whole, and this is probably the way that
Garrick read the sentence.

Edtato Island-The Regions Cultivated, &c.
Aessrs. Editors: Under the authority OF the Freed
mems Bureau, several Of land on this Island
made visit there Tuesday, the 9th instant The OBJ
ject Of the visit to ascertain whether the freedmen
on the plantations would contract for their cultivation.
Under the order Of Gen. SHERMAN OF January 1885,
which, In this respect to still force no white
person can visit this island without leave mill
tary authorities. Upon the arrival Of the Government
steamboat at the landing, the officer commanding the
alnnd allowed the owners to land and, after escorng
them to the headquarters he furnished three OF them
with facilities for going to their plantations gave
them guard Interviews were then had with the freed
mon on their plantations, and propositions were made
to them for the cultivation Of the lands In each case
they refused to enter into contract make any terms
with the owners for the cultivation Of the land The
population consists mostly Of colored persons who have
migrated to the seacoast since the war began The i'm
preston seems still to be that the Government has
promised them lands. or will give them lands, Florida
or elsewhere 1t is but just TO say TINT the officers Of
company Of coored troops gave such assistance as
was at their disposal to tho visitors and sought to dis
abuse the minds of the freedmen Of the impression
these lands being given to them by the Government.
There are those who have discouraged the freedmen
from entering into these contracts their absolute and
general refusal 80 to do could not exist 1t the con-
vton Of those who made this visit that rs soon as tits
generally understood that the lands will be restored the
freedmen will consent to acknowledge the title of the
landowners, and will contract with them. As onerous
as this condition Ia upon the freeholders they are still
willing to accept It, and in good faith to carry It out
The Freedmen's Bureau have thus given opportuni-
y for the first time. to the owner Of the land to visit
his property and to confer with those in possession
The notice given Monday afternoon to leave the
next morning at ak O'Clock. Tho owners of the land
dispersed through this State and many Of them in
Georgia. and In case notice OF ten days fortnight be

Friends OF the Freedmen.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., December 6, 1865.


the Editor Of The Daily Ne,cs:
Mr.. EDITOR There seems to mo to be q very unfair
and harmful imputaon; in your editorial this
ing, against the friends of tho freedmen in tho state
ment that is uncertain that they 1UiH dou the freedmen
TO 1cork, ifthe latter are inclined TO io so.
If tho statement had been merely slanderous to tho
friends of the freedmen, 1t would havo been worth
while to notice 1t; but it conveys false impression
to the public, and, than this to tho
freedmen as fact that which 1t pretends Is injurious
for them to know, and which certainly not been
taught them from any other source.
We defy to point to order of the Freed
mems Bureau, or any paragraph which instructs the
freedmen that they not expected to work On tho
contrary the whole burden of orders of lae we'll
verbal instructions to agents. has been to insure
immediate renewal of contracts for another year. dis
abuse their minds of impressions relative
lands and prevent, beforehand If possible, the disturb
ances which might naturally arise ut the end of the
year, when the existing contracts close.
To this end, also, has been tho tendency of a public
addresses to the freedmen 1t regarded the duty
both Military and Bureau authorities to see that nothing
of q contrary tendency be allowed.
To substantiatc what has been said in this communi
cation, tho last Circular from the Assistant Commits
sioner of this State is enclosed and, it is of public
interest at this time, perhaps You will be willing to
publish 1t. JUSTICIA.
