HUMOROUS ACCOUNT BY MARX TWAIN,
OF A DINNER AT FAYAL.

until after We found it out, and found it
out through Butcher. B!ucaer said he
wus SO happy and SO grateful! to be on
solid land once more that he wanted to
give a feast-sad he had heard it was a
cbenp land, and he was bound to have a
grand banquet. He invited nine of US,
and We ate an excellent dinner at the
principal hotel. In .hc midst Of the jo.-
lity produced by good cigars, good wine,
and passabe anecdotes, the landlord pre-
sentcd his bill Butcher glanced at it,
and his coun;cnance fell He took an
other look to assure himself that his seu-
ses had not deceived him, and then read
the items in a faltcring voice, while the
roses in his check turned to ashes

The past season of .,musements has been un-
precedentedly successful; but with single
exception, az far as newspaper criticisms were
concerned, the successful theatres owe nothing
to that source. A number of newspaper writ
ers, styling themselves the metropolitan censors
OF the drama, and forming Q self-constituted
Council Of Ten, have endeavored to obtain
complete control of the amusement columns of
the New York press for blackmailing purposes
Each of them was employed by three or four
obscure papers. When new piece was brought
out they held consultations together, and hints
were thrown out to the manager or author TO
the effect that the success of the piece and
their remas6 on 1t entirely depended on the
amount It would bring them. Managers and
authors were constantly reminded Of the i'm
mense influence possessed by the ring" and
that no member would refuse to endorse the
opinion Of his fellow "critic." One or two Of
those parties occasionally translated or adapted
European plays, and the vengeance Of the
entire precious combination was threatened on
the manager who would venture 10 refuse these.
plays, some Of which were the veriest trash
Every new play that did not emanate from
them, or was not literally paid for, was per-
sistently written down, and the most extrava-
giant "pu6ery" resorted to 10 bolster up their
own sickly productions. With the most un-
blushing effrontery they have tried to persuade
the country press and foreign dramatists that
they represented the entire critical body of
New York. The fair, candid, unbiased opin-
ions of music and the drama, as given in the
columns of the HERALD, although every effort
was made to include it in the "ring," have
proved terrible stumbling-block in the way
of these precious "critics." When managers
and authors found that there was at least one
great organ of criticism in which they would
receive ample and impartial justice, they re-
fused to submit to the rule of the metropolitan
censors Of the drama" Hence, there is weep
ing and gnashing Of teeth, and the discounted
blackmailers growl at the HERALD.

Individual Enterprise versus Combinations.
Since the commencement Of Its history.
II has been the object Of the NEW YORK
HERALD TO faithfully and intelligently serve the
public. Faithful services are exceedingly
liable to give offence in certain quarters.
Such at least has been our experience Com
binations have again and again been raised
against us. We have always remained true to
Sur purpose to ESckis Y no party, to be the
slave Of no ring, but on the contrary to make
our paper full and reliable vehicle Of intelli-
gence, to keep the public alive to their rights,
TO describe honestly the merits and dement's Of
those who catered for their patronage and
support The result has been that success has
crowned all our efforts, and that opposing com
binations have uniformly failed. Tho latest
combination Of the kind referred to has been
that of the Associated Managers. What has
become Of that association, now' It was to
ruin the HERALp. II has been more success
full in bringing ruin upon ITSELF But one or
two Of the managers remain faithful to the
original compact To some Of them the
alliance has been disastrous in tho extreme.
1t could not have been otherwise, All unholy
alliances must necessarily come to naught.

Testimony.
As the Surratt trial advances tho testimony
of Witnesses for the prosecution seems to srow
cumulative and overwhelming. When the
prisoner was frst brought back to Washington
scarcely any proof Of his presence during the
last scenes of the tragedy that shocked the
nation and the world had come to light But
now q crowd of witnesses press forward who
swear unhesitatingly to having seen Surratt
in Washington on the very day and almost at
the very hour of the assassination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and in the vicinity of Washing
ton on the following morning. Their evidence,
published In yesterdays HERALD. aids new
and startling feature to the history of this i'm
portant case. 1t is true that oiroumstantial
evidence Of this particular kind, relating 10
local presence at precise but remote period
Of time, Is often extremely doubtful. Yet, il
unrefated BY very positive contradictory tes-
timony ON the part of the defence, the testi-
mony of the witnesses examined on Wednesday
must tell strongly against the prisoner.
