BROUGHAH AND FISK.
A Theatrical ITn5r0gIiO in New
York.

A Eew York correspondent of the Chi
cago Republican writes;
The latest and most notable instance
of theatrical failure has been that Of Mr..
John BroughRm at the beautiful little
theater called by his name. Broughsm's
Theeter is the property of Fisk, jr., So
the Prince of E lie calls himself, anu was
leased by him to Mr.. BrOugham as
friendly act, no specific rent being named
in the lease. When Brougham opened,
ne made complete failure, his company
being weak, and the first two plays pro-
duced being heavy and unattracllVe.
The next morning Fisk, ir., mad an in
terview with Brougham, and sDgrily up
braided him for his failure. This inter
view was soon after followed by request
on the part of Mr.. Brongham that Fisk,
jr, would insert the precise amount OF
the rent IN the lease. What was Johns
dismay to find that Fisk, ir., demanded
thirty thousand dollsrs per snnum for
his little bandbox Of a thesteT, The
next day the capitalist aud the manager
had another interview, in the course OF
which Fisk, jr., again permitting his an
cry passions TO rise, tore the lease into
fragments, ordered BrOugham to vacate
the premises by the first Of April, and
defied him to help himself. Ia point Of
fact, he told him TO "sue and be-suhi cot
to the fate reserved for those who msn-
age the E,ie railway" He may have
expressed himself more cosrsely, but
that was the gist OF his remark. Conse-
quently, though Rrougham's new bur-
lesgue of "ShylOok is having good
run, the veteran actor will Withdraw his
force on the first OF April. He is to be
succseded by no less a person than the
bewitehiBg Mile. Irmi, OF Uisk's Ur)
opera bouffe company. Manager lrmi
has already engaged her company,
among whom Mule. rostee is included.
As these two lsdies have not been on
speaking terms for many months, the
triumph which Irmi must feel in giving
employment to Tostes will be apprecia-
ted by every true woman.

KU-KLUX IN INDIANA.
4 Fiend whipped BY his Out
ragged Neighb0rs.

MITCHELL. ISD., March p,
The most fiendish crime ever perpe-
rated Ii q civilized community Was
com mitted within three miles Of this
place Friday evening. A man, or rather
a ieDd disgracing the form OF manhood,
by name Wm. CrOckst, living near town,
has been treating 10 q most bRrbsrOus
manner, his little son, only seven years
old. The evidence brought to ght since
his arrest, demonstrates the fact that this
treatment extends bacE over period Of
several years, Ii appears that his bar
barOus fury reached the climax Oh FRI
day evening; for, on going home, fer
some littls, trivial, childish UdeHse, this
unnatural parent commenced cudgeliDg
his little boy with a isrge stick, making
2 perfec jelly of the flesh in some places.
Finally he knocked the little fellow
down, and gave him a kick which sent
the poor child into the FIRE, burning iie
hands in a frightiul manner. Not con-
tent with this torture, the fiendish father
gets 8 thorn bush, with which be lacera-
ted the child's body and arms, also q few
places on the face, IN the most horrible
manner conceivable. The psterDsl f0ry
was only expended when the child be
came iBseDsibls.
The brutal wretch was put in jail, and
was taken out that night by number Of
his peighbOTs in masks, and terribly
whipped.

THE IRIsH CHURCH.
John Brigha's speech on its Dis"
establishment.

John Bri-ht then delivered long and
able speech in favor of the measure. The
Established Church of England had the
assent of a large majority of the people
of England but the question was
whether that Church was good also for
the people of Ireland. The opponents OF
this bill had utterly failed TO prove that
the opinion Of the civilized world was
hostile TO this measure, as had been sta
ted. He reviewed the opinions OF states
men on the question, and quoted Lord
Stanley's remark, that Ireland was the
question OF tue hour. Ae referred to the
conduct of Lord Mayo while Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland, and the position of
other TOTies, g ssGv taas that party had
no policy on the Irish question. The
bill now before the Houss, hs continued,
was acceptable 10 the mass OF the reople
o. Ireland, Catholics as well as Protest
ants, and was almost universally ap-
proved by the people of England. AS
had been before stated here, the E3tsD-
lished Church in Ireland was badge of
conquest. The conservatives Of the fu-
tare would view the attitude Of the pres
ent oonser Vstiyea OB this question with
surprise. He. quoted CsvOuT's work on
Ireland, where tnaJ author shows that
the Established Church promotes disaf-
feDliOp and an.mosiIfes il that country,
and causes the peasantry TO be in worse
condition than the slaves Of the Antilles,
and that there were continual protests
against it. He then c)ntrasted the posi-.
ton OF the Church of England. Eag-
lands liberties, he aaid, were not secured
by the Church, but by the Puritans and
non cOnfOrmists. Nations never forget
their religious grievances until the cause
is removed. The old policy pursued by
England rendered Ireland more ultra
mOntane than any country in Europe.
Catholicism was not only a matter of
faith, but of patriotism, for which The
Irish were ready to suffer, or, If need be,
to die. Since the Union, disturbances
have been continual, and Pfotestsntism
was only fire that WIS destroying every
thing that was good and noble in Ireland,
resulting in the absolute disappearance
of peace and loyalty. The Irishmen
who had emigTated TO the United States
and Australia were watching anXiOusly
the result OF this great question. The
entire Fenisn project was fed and kept
alive by the sympathy of Americans.

than Irishmen. The House was now
asked to do justice to Ireland, not for fear
of foreign enemies, but for the sake of
internal peace and equality. He con
templsted the voluntary system prevail
ing in Scotland, and anticipated the best
results to posterity for Ireland, if this
bill became a law, and concluded by
saying this measure would have the sp-
prOval of the Supreme Judge, being, as
it was, founded on principles of mercy
and justice, the attributes OF Ris glorious

ThackeraX,s WIFE.

Mr.. Thaekeray shared with some Of
his literary brethren of England, the
misfortune of suffering great sffiiction
through his wife. Without being sctu-
ally insane, she was liable to sudden
attacks of mental disturbance, which
took the strange turn of driving her,
with irresistible force, to some Methodist
convertible, where her over excited
mind found vent and relief in passionate
shouting and screaming. Her tender
husband having been told that to pre-
vent her forcibly from attending such
meetings would only aggrsvete the evil,
oyercame his strong distaste TO all such
displays, and not only allowed her to go,
but insisted Upon one of her daughters
accompanying her to the chapel. "Their
place is by their mothers side" he said
simply; and he had the satisfaction to
know that bis unfortunate wife was thus
protected against attacks of greater vio-
lence and the dangers incident to such
night meetings in London, which his
self-sacrifice gave him the hearty SYM
pathy and sincere respects of his. friends.

WATCHES.


THE extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
gineers and xpressmen-the most exactIng of
wateh-wearers-has thoroughly demonstrated
the stres 9Th, steadiness, durability and sccu-
raoy of the Waltham WatcA. To satisfy that
class in all these respects is to decide the ques-
ton as to'the real value of these time.keepers.
More than 4OO. goo of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
people-a proof and a guarantee of their supe-
riority over all Others.
The superior organisation and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them TO produce the watches at price which
renders composition futile, and those who buy
any other watch, merely pay from 25 to 50 per
cent. more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches atless
prices in greenbacSs, than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There is no other manufacture
of any kind in the United States of which. this
can be said.
These time pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of real
raeticaI use. Having had the refusal 70
pe.rIy every invention in matchmaking Or
ginating in this country, or In Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe testing
BY the most skiIIfuI artisans IN our works, and
long use on the part of The public, demonstrated
tn he essential to c0rreet and enduring time-
keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize
The invention and use of a center-pinion OF
peeuiiar construction. to prevent damage to
the train by the bTsakage of maln-spTings, Is
original with the American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal OF all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as be-
ing the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmskers 10 be
