KING THEoDoRUs AND THE SPIRITS
Abyssinia, the land of superstition, has OF
course its witches Of Endor. l heard q
good story the other day illustrating the
popular feeling of the country against
Theodorus, and the result Of our advent.
The King, so the story said, heard the
news with troubled countenance, and de-
termined to consult the spirits of his
fathers. They were summoned and ap-
peared before him. The King-Tell me
my fate; shall I conquer as l have always
copquered? Spirits-No! thy time has
come; prepare thyself. The King-Le,t
me reign but three years more, and will
redeem the past. Spirits-No: The
King-But two years; let me reign but
two years. Spirits-No! Not one year.
Thou hast been tried and found wanting.
The blood of slaughtered thousands cries
aloud for vengeance. But stay! There is
vet one chance. Relinquish sovereignty,
return to thy country, be again the tiller
of the soil, earn thy bread by the sweat OF
thy brow, and live! The King was very
irate, and the spirits were directed to go to
-, the place from whence they came

CIRCUIT Court OF R1cHMoND.-This
court, presided over by Judge John A.
Meredith, will commence its spring term
on Monday the Sd of February. Up to
this time there have been entered on the
chancery docket more than 400 cases, and
on the common law docket 72O cases,
making the heaviest docket since the
formation of the court. Some of these
cases are very important, not only in
volving large sums of money, but questions
of law which affect many others besides
those Immediately interested in the cases.
A remarkable fact connected with the
records of this court is, that but little at
tempt has thus far been made to revive
the suits in which the papers were burned
in April, 1865.
Parties interested in them seem to have
given them up, and decided to let them
remain as they are, rather than undergo
the expense necessary to reInstate them on
the docket. As nearly three years have
elapsed since they were destroyed, it is
presumed that no general effort will now
be made to get them into court again.

MuHLBAcR has rival in this author
somewhat new to American readers. he
has chosen for his theme one Of the most
distinguished actors in the French revolu-
tion, who, as an orator, has perhaps had
no superior in modern times. There is an
educated prejudice in favor of the classic
age which generally ignores comparison
with that. The career Of such man is
replete with material for q deeply interest
ing work, whether of fact or fiction; and
if Mr.. MUNDT has performed his task with
tolerable success his book will amply in
demnify the reader.

A Suggestive Commentary on st. Luxe,
with critical and homolitical notes. BY
Rev. W. b. VAN DoREN. II. volumes.
New York: D. APPLE EToN & Go.
This affects to be very learned work.
The two volumes contain about eleven
hundred pages of commentary on
LUKE's brief history. A penny-worth of
bread to a world of sack But though
much Greek and classic reference is scat
tered through the work it can hardly de-
serve the dignity of comment. 1t is but
little more than succession of heads to
sermons, and might very much assist
young pulpit declaimers when hard up for
theme. Rev. Mr.. VAN DoRAN teaches a
bad example, however-an elaboration of
verbiage about single word that might
invite to prosy sermons which weary
hearers and do little good to religion. He
flies, as it were, all over the world on
single word, just as the old woman took a
similar excursion on broomstick-a
means of conveyance as little auxiliary to
journey of the kind as is the word the
proper occasion for such a voyage
1t would seem unfair that LUKE should
be made the exclusive object of this ample
work, and yet if we may suppose similar
elaboration of wordy suggestions withrete-
ences to each of the divisions of the Testa-
ment, we would have at once world Ct
printed matter-a great library which it
would take a lifetime to read. If Mr.. VAN
DoRAN has such design on foot, the world
may be relieved by the reflection that he
must necessarily die before he can possibly
complete it!

DRAMAT1c.-Our pleasure-seekers will
doubtless be pleased to learn that Mr.
John Brougham has leased the New Rich
mond Theatre for season of eight weeks,
and will open it on Monday night next or
on the Wednesday following. The season
will be opened with the new sensational
drama of the Lottery of Life" in which
Mr.. Brougham will appear as Jerry Swell.
The company Mr.. Brougham brings with
him is accounted as one of the best in the
country. He also brings his own scenery,
among which is the Fifth-avenue Hotel,
the Metropolitan Hotel, the Japonica sa-
loon, etc., etc. Among the incidents are
songs, clog-dances, ballads, jgs, sc. From
all that is said, if Mr.. Brougham comes,
we will have such dramatic entertain
ments in Richmond as will be worth
encouraging.

New YORK CITY CALLED Upon TO HAVE
HER Own GAS WoRKs.-The experience
of New York, which has allowed private
company to furnish that city with gas, is
strongly expressed by the Herald. 1t says:
SHOW gas has become one of the neces-
sites of metropolitan life, and it should be
supplied by the city itself, SO that the enor-
nous profits now accruirg from its manu-
facture would be transferred from the
pockets of greedy, soulless spectators, into
the city treasury. This is the only remedy
that can be applied to the evils we labor
under at present in the lighting of the city,
and the Legislature should act upon it at
the earliest opportunity. 1t is mere waste
of words to call on the present gas compa-
MES to mend the evil OF their ways"

MEETING OF, THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PEABODY FUND.
SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The trustees of the Peabody Educa-
tional Fund met again at the Spotswood
Hotel yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
The following resolution was presented By
General Grant, and adopted: -
s: s:Resolued, That in view Of the present
destitution prevailing in the southern and
southwestern States it is, in the opinion of
this Board, expedient that the Executive
Committee and the general agent be au-
thorized, in conformity with the permis-
sion granted by Mr.. Peabody, to expend
forty per cent. of the principal of the fund
in addition to the accrued interest; and
that as large portion of said sum not ex-
ceeding 100000 be expended during the
current year as in their judgment can be
advantageously used in promoting the
object of the trust, and the authority of
the Board is hereby given to such appro-
priation."
A supplementary resolution was also
passed authorizing the general agent where
he has already promised specific sums for
educational purposes, to considerably in
crease the sum at his discretion, and also
authorizing him to make payments for said
purposes, quarterly or semi annually, in
advance, if be shall deem it expedient.
"A communication was received from
the Constitutional" Convention, inviting
the trustees to visit that body, but the en-
gagements of the trustees were sueisas-to
preclude their accepting the invitation.
DR.. Sears will probably address the Con-
vention upon the subject of education some
time during the present week.
A vote of thanks was passed to the presi-
dents of the various railroad companies
for free passes furnished the general agent
over their roads; and after the transaction
of some business of minor Importance, the
Board adjourned to meet in New York
city on the third Thursday in June.

A Rebel Toast tn Georgetown.

To the Editor Of F0rney'S Chronicle:
GEORGETOWN, D. c., January 2O.-I
write to inform you of toast that was
given at supper, at our Union Hotel, on
Thursday night last. The supper was given
by the officers elected by the corporation
on Joint ballot on the 9Th instant to the
members of the corporation and their
friends. About sixty persons were pre-
sent, and after the supper was over and a
part of the company had retired, some
speeches were made and toasts drank,
when Mr.. Richard L. Cropley, -four mer-
chant on Water street, rose and proposed !:
"The President of the United States, and
to the man that pulled the trigger that
killed the man that freed the Niger" No
remarks were made, nor any rebuke to
this infamous sentiment; but 1t was re-
ceived in silence. I set my own glass
down and forbore to express my feelings,
as there were but few Union men present
when the toast was offered.

DAY OF fasting, HUMILIATION, AND
PRAYER.-To- morrow, in accordance with
the appointment of the General Assembly
at Nashville, the Presbyterian churches of
this city as well as those throughout the
South will have special religious services.
The Assembly urges upon the churches to
keep this day " in view of the extraordi-
nary distresses of Gods people in this
land" and devoutly to engage in suitable
religious exercises, public and private.
Political causes, though intimately con-
nected with the general Affections, have
very wisely been excluded from the reso-
luton. It ito be hoped the influence OF
this appointment may be felt throughout
this Church and throughout the land, and
may tend to restore prosperity to our peo-
pie generally, as we'll as to promote the
sacred interests of morality and religion.
Notice of services in the several churches
will be given in to-morrow's Dispatch.
