THE NEXT SENsATIoN.-A novel sensa-
ton is in store for our politicians, hu-
manitarians, ethologists and critics. A
genuine negro-Ira Aldridge by name
who has made three professional tours
through Germany as tragedian, and
achieved brilliant success in the I'm
perial theatre at st. Petersburg, has been
engaged for round of characters, and
will appear at the New York Academy
of Music next month. We are curious
to note his reception. His picture be-
fore us represents full-blooded negro,
with crinkly wool, fat nose, thick lips
and skin Of blacklist hue, while the
decorations on his breast prove him to
be

Brown is philosopher, and therefore a man
of close observation. Brown made this observa.
tiof in our hearing one day: II have noticed
that the heel seam of about half the CATERS and
bootees worn by the ladies Of this town is ripped
from half an inch to two inches. Ny curiosity
was piqued, and I determined to find out where
such slip-shop goods were bought. I shall saw
no more, except that it is curious not one pair
had been bought of Halbcrt Il Megafin. In
fact, can tell half Of Halbert & Mcgafiin's lady

OTTAWA CEMETERY.-The location of the OF.
tawa Cemetery is unobjectionsble- indeed NAV
be called beautiful-being upon the bank of the
Illinois river, with fine view Of that stream, of
the valley, of Buffalo Rock, &c. Nevertheless,
it is undeniable that the ground is too contract
ed to meet the demands of the city for burial
place for any great length of time, should our
growth be such as We have right to anticipate.
For this reason movement was started q year
or two ago to organize company, raise money
and either purchase additional ground or COM
mence new and larger cemetery in some other
location. That movement failed utterly, and so,
for some years to come, at least, it may be re-
garded as settled that the burial place for our
people, as one by one they pass over the dark
river, will be at the present Ottawa Cemetery.
1t Is, therefore, the requirement Of no more
than decency, to say nothing Of good taste and
public spirit, that the Cemetery should at once
be redeemed from its present dilapidated and
wretchedly shabby appearance. The fence on
the street front is actually tumbling down, and
no longer cattle proof, 80 that We are told herds
OF cattle frequently invade the premises and
destroy the shrubbery that the hand of affection
has planted. Are We heather, that such things
should continue:
We rejoice in being assured that a few public
spirited gentlemen have volunteered to call UPON
our citizens during the coming week with one Of
those popular institutions" known as a SUBJ
scription paper, for the purpose Of raising means
to build new, substantial and tasty fence along
the north front of the Cemetery, and, if their
success is half what it ought tn be- to make some
other improvements. We hope these gentlemen
who have 50 generously volunteered to engage in
this Christian work, will be met in spirit of
iberality equal to their own by our people

DEAD BODY CoMING.-Mr. J. r. Bullard
writes from Millington, Kendall county, May
2'th, to citizen of this place:
son OF Mr.. Thomas Serine was carried over
the dam across Fox river at this place, on Satur.
day evening last, and drowned. Search for the
body has been continued until this evening,
without success, and the probability is that it
has been carried down the stream. Will YOU
please have these facts stated in the papers of
your place. with a request that any one discov.
ering the body will dispatch a messenger at
once, ii possible to r. w. earns, merchant, at
Newark, who will pay expenses and forward the
tidings to Mr.. Serine.

NEARLY CONFERENCE.-The new City Engine
House. It is a handsome brick building, 30 by
W it., two stories, surmounted by tastily fin
ished belfry. On the ground floor there are
three engine rooms-one for the Niagara, one for
the Undine, and one for the new steam fire en-
giAe. when the city gets able to buy it. The
second story is also divided into three rooms,
being one for the use of each engine company.
Until the new engine is purchased, however one
OF the rooms up stairs will probably be occupied
by the City Council and city clerk, and as a sort
of headquarters for the police. There is fine,
dry. spacious cellar under the whole building,
which. at small expense, could be utilized as a
city calaboose The building stands on the cor.
ner of Madison and Fulton Streets and is in
design and structure creditable to the city, and
no less so to Messrs. Colwell, Clark & Stebbins,
the contractors by whom II was erected

OF thankfulness and charity-beautifully in

THE HISTORY OF THE SsCREf SERvICD DURING THE
LATE REBELLION. by General l.. G. Baker, late
Provost Marshal and Chief Detective of the w ar
Department. Jones Brothers h Co. PbiIadel.
phia, Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, aud Davenport
Iowa.
The Nation is at length enlightened on the
secret history of the late war; and by the official
possessing the best information on the mysterious
subject. General Baker was at the head of the
secret bureau for five years, and he has written
a truthful and graphic narrative of all that
transpircd within that eventful period. The
Government made several attempts to suppress
the work, offering the late Chief of Detectives
large sum Of money for his manuscript. But
General Baker was inexorable; he had made up
his mind to publish in full the records of his
mysterious department, and that determination
has been fully carried out. Nothing has been
held back, and we are treated to an inside view
OF the secrets of American Statesmanship during
the most important period of our country's his
tory. General Bakers personal experiences are
full of romantic Incidents and would of them
selves form most interesting and absorbing
book He reveals the mysteries of pardon bro
kerage; and certain digniaed cabinet officers are
found occupying rather peculiar positions. The
glimpses he obtained Of the undercurrents of
official life at Washington are rich and racy in
the extreme, and as true as they are curious and
startling; for General Baker has fortified every
fact likely to be disputed with official documents,
proving their authenticity beyond peradventure
The History is complete in one volume of zoo
pages, printed in superior style on stout white
paper, embellished with steel portrait of the
author, and sixteen artistic wood engravings
representing scenes Of public interest, among
others the burial place of ]. Wilkes Booth
