ahat remind one Of the "Hetty," niece TO the
Immortal "Mrs. Poyser," for whose creation we
have TO tbhpk the author of adam Bede."
The enthusiasm felt about her in this city
tHester Vaughan, mean, not MRS. Poyser') Is
genuine, too.
The monster meeting in her behalf, at Cooper
Institute, was presided over by Horace greeley
Those sister columns of their SEX Susan b. An
thony and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton were
there aud spoke right up to the point.
There was no mincing matters; no calling Oh
nasty thugs by nice names. The men and
women, met together, were too matured ana
too progressive to stand in need OF childs 'aik.
In short. when Hester Vaughan walks out OF
prison she will have a career before her' as
well as one behind
In the way we
REMEMBER THE SABBATH,
we approach more nearly, as q natton' TO-
"ouintessentially" wicked as New YORK Is
believed by the most of the big cities OF the
United States to be, she is among the hrst In
epdeayoring to promote the observance OF the
fourth commandment.

The public libraries open every Sunday, for the

The idea originated with Horace Greeley. and
mot many months will pass before 1t Will beput
In execution.
All New York laughs At the
OLD MAN OF THE TRIBUNE"
as Il sees him trotting down Broadway, with
pockets like post office, and his face like the
moon with hat on; but there are few men, In
New York or OUT who work so hard and do SO
much groi.
Imagine my CONSERVATION on Tuesday morn
Ing when on walking down Broadway. over

"MRs BARNEY WILLIAMS HAS CUT HER THROAT
4 ON ear to ear"
without entertaining profound admiration
for In @ histrlonic abilities of either Mrs. Will
liams or her husband, l am quite content that
fhey should continue to delight for years to
come thousands of pumpkins whose only idea
of what the Irish drama ought to be is founded
on the belief, encouraged by the Williamses,
that whisky, shillelahs and green kirtles are
the first necessities.
While was deploring the tragic fate of the
brilliant Protean Of an Hour in Seville, and
wondering whether the rash act was caused by
remorse at not having applied her energies to
the legitimate, the true version come to my
ears. as it has doubtless. by this time, came to
the ears of the readers ofTHE TELEGRAPH.
Tie simple facts are, that one Mrs Gatewood

a maniacal presence OF mind, she asked permls-
sion to retire into an adjoining bath room for q
few moments, pleading Indisposition. The few
seconds she was absent sufiicad for her to cut
her throat with razor she had concealed
about her person.

having prosecuted a woman who can hardly
be said to have been responsible.
