The NEXT SENsATIoN.-The public of
Vienna are just now being delighted
with ballet having the attractive title
of "The Power of He'll" The ballet,
ballet-master, costumes and everything
have been imported from Italy, and the
prices of admission have been doubled
to see this Satanic spectacle. This first
act shows the devil at home, everything
In his household being salubrious, and
his majesty only troubled by the fact
that his hair dresser has discovered two
extra budding horns. This gives rise
to o sharp conjugal scene, and his ma
jesty is referred by his spouse to the
upper world where such physical facts
are not of all uncommon. On this re-
commentator his majesty sets ont to
inform himself as to whether Mrs. Devil
is right, and the result is much scenery,
short shirts, ,blne, fire, etc., all of which
simply tend to support the argument
that the. upper world is no better than
the lower, and that the modes of life
are the same. The result will be that
the PEOPLE hereafter will not be so
much afraid Of going below as they
have been. .I..

A National Militia Bill.

Gen. PAINE, Of this State, has intro
duced bill in the lower House Of Con-
gross for the reorganization of the mill
tin in the several States and Territories.
Its provisions are thus given in the tele-
graphic summary of the Congressional
proceedings of the l3th-inst. /:
1t provides that all able bodied citizens
over is, shall be enrolled within 90 days
of the passage of the bill. 1t also pro-
vides for n national guard of two regi-
ments in each Congressional district
None but loyal men are admitted. Of
ficers are chosen by the men. The Gov
ernor shall exercise authority over the
national guard, and no Governor shall
be permitted TO exercise authority over
the troops unless he has taken the iron
clad oath. Congress may order the na-
tional guard into service to repel inva-
sion, or to suppress instructions; it may
also aid the execution of the law in any
State, in the suppression of instruction
therein, at the request Of the Legislature
of such State. A refusal to serve, sub
iects offenders to n penalty rs deserters.
1t provides that the national guard shall
become a portion of the regular army

tiful women, the pride of gay circles,

have moved in their costly houses, and
their friends have all come and looked
at their furniture and their splendid
home for happiness, aud have gone away

similar feelings. | love to get, unob-

how they will sit upon the luxurious So

now forbidden tenderness; and how
thriliingly the allowed kiss and the beau
tifu endearments of welded life will
make even their parting joyous; and
how gladly they will come back from
the crowded and empty mirth of the
gay, to each others quiet company. I
picture to myself that young creature,
who bushes even now at his hes tating
caress, listening eagerly for his footsteps
rs the light steals on, wishing lie would
come, and when he enters ut last, and
with an affection as undying as his pulse,
folds her to his bosom, can feel the
tide that goes flowing through the heart,
and gaze with him on the graceful form
as she moves about for the kind offices Of
affection, soothing all his unquiet cares,

Death of ". p. willis.

Nathaniel Parker Willis, the we'll
known author and poet, died at his resi-
dence at IdIewild, near Newburgh, New
York, on Sunday evening, which was his
sixtieth birthday. Mr.. Willis was born
at Portland. Maine, January 20, 1867.
His father and grandfather were both
printers, the latter having been an ap-
prentice in the same Office with Benjamin
Franklin. His father was the founder Of
the Boston Recorder, the Oldest religious
Journal in the country. Mr.. Willis has
been quite we'll known to the American
public az writer Of prose and verse
since the year 1928, when he established
the american Monthly Magazine, which
was subsequently merged in the New
York Mirror. weekly literary journal
published by George p. Morris, to which
Mr.. Willis contributed his "Pencilings by
the Way" series of sprightly sketches
Of European travel. From 1910 to
1860 Mr.. Willis was constantly employ
cd in literary work.
OF late years Mr.. Willis has lived a
secluded and misanthropic life, spending
much of his time in room in New York
city, which he allowed no one to enter if
he could in any manner prevent it. Oc-
casionlly bis wife would effect an entrance
to it during his absence and put it in
some sort of order, when he would i'm
muro himself again and would be seen
ne more for days and weeks together.
Mr. Willis was twice married. His
first wife was a daughter of General
Stacy, commander Of the Woolwich Ar
senal in England. She died in l644.-
In 1916 he married a daughter Of Hon.
Josiah GrnueI, of New Bedford, Mass,
who survives him. Mrs Jumes Parton,
otherwise known as Fanny Fern" is
his sister, Chicago Tribune.

marshaIE;s Portrait of lincoln

Probably no work of this kind ever issued
in this country, has elected more inter est or
received warmer encomiums than this. We
are not rs capable of judging of it as work
OF art, as others may be, bat in the opinion of
both European and American artists it has
never been surpassed.
To us. however. it has a higher sig
nifcauce as being unquestionably the best
and tryest representation of him who, among
all that gave their blood for a nations life,
lies nearest shat nations heart.
From the numerous favorable criticisms we
have noticed of this engraving We have only
space tor the following from the Chicago Re-
publican: But that which wins our decided
preference for Mr.. Marshalls portrait is that
unity and reality of expression which. while
other engravings may be agreeable likenesses,
makes this appear to have a gift of soul. For
the endurance. the sensitiveness. the wisdom
and kindness in its pictured face we love our
copy of Marshall Lincoln. and love it more
as we study it."
AMI this from the Poet WHITTIER :" Other
pictures might be. and probably were, what
are called good ikencsses' so far as outline
and detail were concerned, but to me they al
ways seemed to lack one great essential of an
entire portrait-the informing spirit of the
man within. This find ia Marshall's par
trait. The old harsh lines ard unmistakable
mouth are there without fattery or compro-
mise. but over all and through all the pa
thetic sadness, tie wise simplicity and tender
humanity of the man are visible. 1t is the
face of the speaker at Gettysburg, and the
writer OF the second Inaugural "

The Assembly has adopted resolution
to receive no new business after the 9th
