fy A writer in the Cincinnati Union,
In talking with Mr.. Forrest some time
ago, | asked him, as a matter of curiosity, of
all stage characters which did he like to
perform the best He replied, that of all
characters on the stage, he preferred to per-
form Iago.' That it was his best character,
because he really loved to perform it. 1t
was easy for him, too, to perform it, and he
never tired OfperfOrming it." This thought
indeed singular, for Mr.. Forrest in his star
engagements seldom never performed
"Iago;" and this fact | suggested to Mr..
Forrest oh" said he ",he difficulty is in
finding an 'Othello' to perform with me.
'OthellO' requires much more strength and
energy, and is really the more arduous char
acter, and therefore is generally looked upon
as the character" He further said, that he
seldom ever saw good "Iago" upon the
stage The difficulty with most actors-and
those, too, accounted great-(and he in
stanced Junius Brutus Booth the elder)-
was, that they made the villainy of "Iago"
too apparent, whereas the villalny of "lago"
was so Internal and subtle that nobody could
know or see it, save linSelf, and therefore
in his external character he always seemed
the honest, heightened and honorable gem
tlcman. Otherwise the noble ''Othello"
cOuld not be deceived by such a man. "IagO"
was a perfect gentleman, and had nothing of
the rascal or villain in his conduct or man
ners. Othello would have perceived the
fact, if he had. His wife Emilia would have
known it, too, though so subtle and eX-
quisite was he in his fendishness that she
did not know it, but took him with Othello
for honest Iago." Nobody in the play knows
but what Iago is really honest, and all treat
him so, until positive facts prove him to be
a scoundrel of the deepest dye. With this
proper conception of the character, Forrest
formerly used to play it, and when he played
it with Edmund Kean, Mr.. Kean had no
hesitation in saying that Mr.. Forests Iago
was the best he ever saw upon the stage.

Cry POLICEMAN MURDERED BY NE
npo soIpIERs.-Most unhappy cHcum-
stances occurred during the progress OF tne
fire Yesterday morning and after IL was CA
tinguished; producing great eHeltelileuI III
the community and involving tue Ho@'h Va
a police officer while on duty
There we're never as many negroes con-
o,ragatad ahout a fire, as on Monday night;
9aver az few who lent helping hand to
worE the engines The large number of
moia NEGROES wore the u. s. uniform
Many-of them engaged IN the work OF pill
faring and stealing; nor could they be pre-
yented Most of them were armed, and an
attempt to arrest was met by call for
sistance and a blow. A lot of whisky
rolled from the City Hotel, was seized upon,
and literally drank from by many negroes,
and some whites, no better. The natural
consequence was a continual disturbance of
the peace.
The disorderly scenes of the night culmi-
mated about sunrise in the morning. Two OF
the policemen had arrested negro soldier,
and were conducting him to the guard
house. He broke from their grasp and cali
ed for assistance While pursuing him
Martin Clarity, brave and steady man
was shot through the neck by one of several
negro soldiers, all said to be armed and
equipped He lived until three o'clock yes
terday
Soon after the murder, Col. McCaleb APP
peared with a company of horse and act
ing in concert with the City Marshal, soon
cleared the town of negro troops.
1t is but proper to say that from many
quarters we hear of the admirable conduct
of Capt Kinninment, Adjutant of the Post,
who not merely did all he could individual
~ at the fire to save property and prevent
outrage, but also by personal GOODNESS and
intrepidity, disanued furious negroes and
placed them under arrest We also hear
that Major Geo. j. Reynolds was of great
service in preventing further collisions
The query naturally suggests itself: Why
were six or eight infatuated and armed L.
s. soldiers allowed to break away from
the control of their officer aud pursue po-
licemen through the streets and who Is
responsible for their conduct
And we beg to add the suggestion that
the quiet and order of the City, and the
avoidance of these terrible scenes of blood
shed, can only be secured-So long as negro
troops are allowed to remain hereby or
dcrs prohibiting every negro soldier from
coming into town except accompanied by
commissioned officer, responsible for his con-
duct and by arresting every negro who
wears the l.. 5. uniform, who is not en-
listed soldier Hundreds wear it not entl-
tied to it but what can citizens do ? The
uniform is all they have to 90 by; and to
be worth preserving, the uniform should
protect and designate those only that the
United States direct shall wear it As it is,
Il cry from negro who has bought a uni
form, brings to his aid soldiers entitled to
wear it. All carry side arms; and negroes
inIuniform, in nine cases out of ten, cannot
be identified
These are unpleasant truths; and we say
them in sorrow and not in anger.-Aatchez

NOVEL DISCOVERIES.

A late Paris paper contains the fol-
lowing:
The peasants who dwell on the shores of
the lake OF Switzerland had often stated
that, at a short distance from the land, rows
of stakes might be seen through the water,
emerging from the mud of the bed. No in
terest, however, was attached to the phe-
nomenon till about eight years since. At
the end of 1856 the waters of the lake OF Zu-
rich sank considerably. and the thrifty pro-
prietors of land on the bank proceeded at
once to add to their estates the portion OF
the lake bed left here by constructing per
maneut dykes against the return of the wa
ter.
While these works were beingscarried on,
a row, or rather a system, of stakes was dis
covered at some little depth below the sur
face. Excavations were begun at this spot,
and the result was to disinter a great vari-
ETY. of objects, which proved that a large
number of human beings had once had their
dwellings supported over the water by the
stakes. Curiosity having been once aroused,
researches were prosecuted not only at
Obemeion, where the first discovery was
made but all over Switzerland. 1t was
gradually established that the mud
near the shore of almost every
single Swiss lake supplied similar evidence.
At some primevial period population OF
considerable density had lived in huts con-
supports, driven into the bed just as the
Malaysia Borneo and theSiamese at Bangkok
may be seen living to this day. wonder
full number of articles pertaining to the daily
life of the forgotten races have been brought
to light. In some places the materials of
the dwellings have been preserved in the
mud, the floor of hardened earth and the
twisted branches and the bark which formed
the walls. Arms have been discovered in
great quantities, tools from saw in flint to
needles in bone, ornaments, children's toys :;
the remains of stored-up fruits of various
kinds-nay, even a cellar or receptacle full
of corn, and a loaf of bread composed of
bruised grain, and preserved by carboniza-
ton. By the side of these relics are found
the bones of animals, whom they slew in
chase, many belonging to species extinct be
fore the rise of history, or barely mentioned
in it, The urus, the bison, the elk, and the
beaver furnished them with food and with
the materials for some of their most inge-
niously constructed utensils. So plentiful
and perfect are the remains found in the
lakes that much more has been learned con-
corning the daily life and manners of men
whose existence was not suspected ten years
ago, than is known of races which have left
a famous name in history or tradition.
