DOCTOR RANDOLPH.

The most effective speaker-the trump
card in the pack-of the 6re-tried loyalists
and patriots from the South is DR.. RAN
DoLrH, q colored man, who claims to have in
his veins the blood Of the RANDoLPHs of Vir-
ginia. In the primary schools of New Eng
land the children are taught to believe the
white man is very onsartn" and we imagine
that The President if he should take the
trouble to read about the peregrinatons and
speeches Of the "tried' patriots who are do
ing the nasty work Of the radicals in the
North, will conclude that some men, not ex,
actly white, are slightly unreliable.
Doctor RANDOLPH, who is the bright, par.
ticular star in the Hamiltonian galaxy pro.
fesses to be the Special Agent of the Lou.
isians High-Grade School, and came to
Washington last July with delegation oil
colored men to obtain funds in aid of the col
ored schools in Louisiana.
Failing to obtain any encouragement, sym
pathy or support from SUMNER and others Of
their professed friends in Congress, the dele
CATION visited The PRESIDENT, and their re.
ception from him was such as to convince
the entire delegation that he was a far better
friend to their race than those who pretend.
ed friendship for them only to use it for po
litical ends. For expressing this opinion
publicly, the New York Tribune took UNI
bragg, and accused DR.. RANDOLPH as " a mar
to be satisfied with dinner or glass Of
wine" To this RANDOLPH replied in letter
to the Tribune, in which he says, "ANDREw
JOHNSON led the list Of those in favor of the
school, and that is all asked of him, for ]
am no politician, only devout believer in
the improvability Of my race, and worker
to the end" and he adds, "If you think THr
PRESIDENTS aid stops with the promise ex
tended and the courtesies offered, | think
you are mistaken. He has just given 81 ,OOC
to the colored school, and call that practi
cal friendship and no mistake. l speak wei
OF the bridge that we thus cross towards cdu
cational elevations. What more can l do
! am grateful to him."
RANDOLPH went North, and there he wa.
Immediately seized upon by the radicals, who
knew that it was Of the utmost importance
to prevent him from making such damaging
utterances, and for time RANDOLPH was
mute. When their time had arrived, how.
ever, the radicals brought out their black.
and-tan creature to bark against The PREsI
DENT, and he now snarls as furiously against
the hand that fed him as he did few weeks
ago against Senator SUMNER.

Life too Short for strife.

Charles Dickens relates the following of
Douglas Jerrold:
OF his generosity hada proof within these
two or three years, which It saddens Inc to
think OF now. There had been estrangement
between us-not on any personal subject,
and not involving angry words-and good
many months had passed without my ever
seeing him in the streets, when it fell out that
we dined, each with his own separate party,
in the Strangers Room Of the Club. Our
chairs were almost back to back, and | took
mine after be was seated and at dinner, Il
am sorry to rcmember,) and did not look
that way. Before we had sat long, he openly
wheeled his chair around. stretched out both
hands in an engaging manner, and said aloud,
with bright and loving face, that can see
as write to you: "Let us be friends again.
A life is not long enough for this"
Jerrold was not Christian, but his con.
duct in this case was worthy Of the Christian
character. On dying bed, how insignificant
will appear many things about which we
contend in bitterness and wrath! Life is too
short its inevitable sorrows so many, its re.
sponsibilities so vast and solemn, that there
is, indeed, no time to spare in abusing and
maligning one another. Let not the sun 20
down on your wrath. Never close your eyes
to sleep with a heart angry towards your
brother and fellow-sutercr. See him and be
reconclei to him ifyou can. If you cannot
see him, write to him. If he is true man
and Christian, he will listen. If he is not
you will have done right, and your soul will
be bright with the sunshine Of Heaven.

Some Literary Abuse from the
south.

venomous sheet, has the following smart but
impudent article: ,,g

of the North. She has given them rebel

to that wretched jingle known as Hiawatha,
was looking eagerly around for something
that would bring in dollar or two; Mitchell
had used up his Bachelor, and everything
under the sun that bore any resemblance to
him; Holmes had eaten everything on his
Breakfast Table; II. $. Arthur had con.
cluded his ten thousandth weak domestic
tale; Harper and Leslie had begun import
ing snake and lion stories from Africa.
In a word, the whole literary machine OF
the North was out of grease. The South
fabricated the thing anew, and sec now how
beautifully it works. How many sOng-boOks
it has turned out: National, Union, Radical
Loyal, Soldiers Own, Sailors Own, Soldiers

The National Theatre.

The popularity of the brilliant drama of
the "lce Witch" at the National Theatre,
has induced the managers to continue the
representations during the week. On Sat

persons, and others who are unable to GO
out after nightfall may have an opportunity
to see this, the most fascinating scenic piece
of modern times. Prices on Saturday after,

admission fee to any part Of the house.

On Saturday last fright occurred in Nc.

On Saturday last fright occurred in Nc.
Vicker's Theatre, Chicago, which came near
resulting in fearful tragedy. The gauzc
used over the flies for the purpose of produc-
ing different light effects caught fire, went
up in puff of flame, and some of the smok-
ing portions came down on the stage. Some
of the audience saw them fall, and shouted
fire, Immediately they were seized with
such panic as can only be occasioned by
an alarm of fire in a crowded building. The
shrieking OF women and the cries of the men
soon told of the dreadful crush which was
taking place. There was for time the ut
most alarm felt by all, not so much on ac-
count of the dreaded conhagration as of the
casualties which threatened to occur in the
passages. Mr.. MoVcKER came forward to
the footlights and earnestly implored the
excited audience to be still, assuring them
that there was no fire in the building After
some time the panic began to subside, and
eventually order was restored, no accident
having occurred, circumstance which
seemed to be almost miraculous.
