What a Stranger Sees in Con.
Cress on saturdays.

The hall is rather sombre, daylight
struggling IN dreariiy from the top; but even
the light of dull day makes the gliding
glare painfully He observes the two little
flags over the Speakers head, and has taken
his seat before perceiving that man is on
his legs behind one of those little gingerbread
desks, haranguing the House He can not
hear word he says, partly because the man
does not talk loud enough, but chiefly because
no one Is paying any attention to him. But
few members are in their seats, and these are
busy writing, an exercise that they vary
withanother that somewhat amazeso our friend.
He tries vainly, and would ike to catch
word or two of a speech that seems to elicit
such terrible applause. The members are
constantly clapping their hands with great but
notprolOnged energy, ,at which little hobgoblin
pages spring about, running as Il - relieve
each surcharged member of his enthusiasm
and our friend gradually discovers that the
hand-clapping Is not applause, but a mode OF
sulnmoning the pages.
He gazes in bewildel1neiit On the Babel be-
fore him The man IS reading his Speech
and does SO from printed copy, as if he were
paid by the line for it. The pages skip

apathy, aud then go cut again The man
man gets up and conunences the same per-
formance. Tne members 60 out, until not
over a dozen of them are left The man is
reading his speech. He does not do it very
glibly; he does not do it as if he expected to
gain anything by it. Some humane friend
comes TO his rescue with motion By par
iamentary fiction his speech IS considered

Relapsing into Barbarism,

A friend who resides about a mile below
the city, in the vicinity of the Notifications,
informs US that for some time past the en-
ployees upon his farm have reported seeing
at the spring, some distance from the house,
a negro woman, and sometimes a negro man
entirely destitute of clothing He discred
tied the statement but few days since,
upon it's being repeated, he determined to
ascertain the facts of the case. Upon re-
repairing t6 the spring he discovered tracks
leading thence intothe woods Pursuit was
instituted, and at some distance an aged
African woman was found seated upon the
ground eating grass in the condition above
described. Either from hunger or age her
mind was an utter wreck. The gentleman
kindly took her to his house, provided for
her wants, and finally delivered ker to the
Freedman Bureau 1t is thought that the
negro man, who is still at large, is insane,
from the violence of his manner when seen.
And this is what it comes to Houseless,
homeless, starved and naked, the poor, inof-
iensive African, once happy, is thrown out
upon sea of exigencIes utterly beyond his
grasp by the Christian charity, the loving
kindness, the sanity philanthropy of his
sworn friends. Save Ine from myfriends

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Georgia says:
have conversed freely with al classes of
people-with officers and soldiers of the late
Confederate army, with planters, with editors
with professional men, traders and mechan-
les, and on all impor tant points have found
general concurrence of opinion. The first
thing which struck me was the comparative
Indifference of the people In regard to polit-
.ical questions. The doings of Congress,
though so vitally affecting their interests,
cause no excitement and little discussion. In
the first place, they are too busy endcavor-
ing, ike sensible men, to mend their broken
fortunes, to give much attention to public
affairs, and, In the second place, they feel
that they have little to do but to submit to the
requirements of the powers that be, how
ever unjust, and ''bide their time;;" but
ARnTHEY LOYAL?
NV observations and inquiries have con-
WINGED me that they are, with few excep-
tons, entirely and sincerely so but | de-
spair of bringing forward any such evidence
of this disposition as many people Of the
North seem to require. / have heard no
expressions OF enthusiasm on the restoration
of the old flag no protestations of especial
admiration and love for s'the Yankees - no
Freedmen Bureau, as its affairs are gener-
ally administered and little approval of the

some, anything but com plirne en- sar, statements
of the doings of corra2t agents OF the gov

that negro suffrage is utterly distastefuI to
the Southern people, If these be evidences
of disloyalty, then the case will, / fear, be
made out against the South But | have
found the people faithful to their oaths of

EIIsIer,s Atheneum.

The beautiful Irish drama called the Colleen
Bawn, was rendered at the Atheneum last night in
excellent style. Miss Julia DAILY, as Ely OCOnnor
the Colleen Bawn, has few equals, and her imper.
sonaton of the character last night justified thecom
mendations that have been bestowed upon her for the
beauty and truthfuness of her rendition. In Myles
Ma Cop leen, Mr.. Sam Ryan, gave good expression
to the leading points in the character and frequently

manner.
Father Tom of course was faithfully represented
by Mr. Elsler. as were Danny Mann, Hardress
Cregan and MIR. Corrigan byiMessrS. Magic, Lee and
Stephens respectively. Anne Chute is character
in which Mrs. Elsler exce'. and her rendition last
night was animated and lifelike Miss Hewitt gave
graphic impersonation of Sheelah Nun in all the
oddities and exceutrcities of the character. Mrs.
Cregan had good representative in Miss Herbert.
The remaining characters were we'll sustained.
So we'll was the play of the Colleen Bawn produc-
cd last night that those who fail to it tonight
when it will be presented for the last time this
son. will miss of the finest dramatic entertain
ments they have ever enjoyed. Miss DAILY not only
makes charming ELY 0'Connor, but sings some do
lightfu songs in her truly fascinating style. There
is much to interest in the play from beginning to
end. as the plot is good one, and there few who
will not as it is evolved at the Atheneum. feel a
deep anxiety as to the fate Of every parsonage con-
cerncd in it.
