era House last night, was a sue
cess. The house was full, and
the audience kept in the best
OF humors. Burnett's talent as a
facial" artist, is unsurpassed, and
indeed, we may say, ~unequaled byany
living rival, and we doubt very much
If he EVER did have his equal. His
changes Of face and dress are miracu-
lous; and it requires the closest scru-
tiny to detect the fact that Burnett as
MIR. Snifkins," is the same party
that, almost simultaneously after his
disappearance, reappears as "Bill SlO-
cum, the Yankee" or Mons. La
kIeur, the Frenchman, or "Krautzen-
speck, the Dutchman.1 The Masonic
Relief Fund will never contain a do
nation that has conferred so much real
pleasure, every way, as that from Mr..
ALI. Burnett last night. We wish him
success wherever ne goes.
The girl Libbie Clark, who at
tempted suicide on Saturday night,
was, yesterday, so far recovered as to
be able to write a note of thanks to
Dr.. Stillman, who saved her life, after
1t was abandoned by the other physi-
clans, whose names we mentioned in
our report of the affair Sunday morn
ing. DR.. Stillman deserves q great
deal of credit for this affair, for not
only his skill as a physician, but his
humanity. His remedies were of his
own invention, except the use of
strong coffee, (which, blythe way is the
best simple remedy in cast of opium
poisoning), and were s~ingularly sue
eessfdl. The woman, when we saw
her, about two O'Clock in the morn
ing, vas nearer q corpse than a living
being, and we &e confident that had
it not been for the unremitting atten-
tiOns of DIR. Stillman the poor girl
would have died.

A correspondent Of the Herald recently
had conversation with Gen. Frank Blair
The Gen. still holds to his expressed opinion
that Gen Grant will make Dictator or EN-
peror Of himself before he leaves the White
House. His modest department is simply
deep dissimnatlon, and one of the measures
used by ambitious men since Julius Cesar
thrice refused the crown. The country is al
ready ruled by q minority who demand aid
of bayonets. and it will be easy for Grant
with his military power, to make himself su-
preme.
On Saturday evening DR.. Smart was sum-
moned to attend two dying women, Mrs.
Louisa Cuok and Miss Jane Nereland, who
reside in South Second st., Jersey City.
Having had domestic troubles which they
thought themselves too weak to bear, the
women had bought morphine and took .
heavy dose, resolving to die together. Hav.
ing been restored to consciousne 80, they ex-
pressed their Indignation that they had not
been permitted to die.
The Congressional Committee engaged in
the investigation Of alleged election frauds
still continues its sessions, being engaged al.
together in the examining Of witnesses.
The Herald tays so-caled Jewelry Union,
in this city, proposes to distribute five nils
lions Of dollars worth of prizes 1t grand
drawing in March next. they publish in their
prospectus an extract OF what purports to be
an editorial in the Herald, laudatory OF their
scheme. No such editorial has ever sp.
peared in the Herald, and the whole scheme
may be set down as q swindle.
The New Jersey railroad ticket office OF
this city was entered last evening and robbed
of thousand dollars in cash.

desperate struggle succeeded in outragins the

As soon as it was daylight Mrs. Smith

When Mr.. Smith returned home he became
