RIsToRr's Power. "A Ference cor
respondent of the London Daily News
gives an account of IL nmarkable
triumph in that city of Madame Ristori
in the part of Mnris Antoinette. She
had been playing at small and
inartistic theatre, but concluded to
present the part once at the Tagliano
Theatre, the largest in the city. and
capable of holding 5000 or 1000 PEG,
pie. The price of admission was put
down to q very low figure, and it was
expected that republican demonstra-
ton, and one hostile.t to the Bourbons,
would take place Accordingly, the
theatre was filled TO its utmost long be-
fore the curtain rose, and with an
audience which was largely made up Of
those who were hostile to the Bour-
bons. But the demonstration was
altogether different from what had been
expected. Madame Ristori was SO
grand in her part that the impossible
Italians filled the house with weeping
from the beginning to the close. The
audience heartily applauded the de-
clarationg of adherence to their sover-
eigns by monarchists and growled out,
Down with him, when some coarse
sans culotte laid his ploody hands on
the delicate features of the Queen.
The play lasted from s O'Clock in the
evening until in the morning, and
was in all respects a triumph for
Madame Ristori and the rest Of the
company, who were hardly less palms.

INsURANCE-A CEEDITABLE 1NSTTTU
T1oN.-It will be seen by en- advertise
ment to-day that the Merchants Mutual
F. and M. Insurance Company OF this
city has just declared their usual scrip
dividend of so per cent, and cash
dividend of per cent, on outstanding
scrip. This is in addition to their reg
ular semi annual dividend of per cent
to stockholders, announced few days
since.
All our Newark Insurance Companies
seem to be carefully managed and to
serve the public satisfactorily and well.
Losses that occur are in most cases
promptly and fairly adjusted and paid
and there should be no good reason
why they should not receive the con-
tinued patronage of our citizens. Most
of the Newark business is done by our
home comanies on the mutual or par
ticipation plan, by which their net
earnings, over and above their losses
and expenses, whatever it may be, is
returned at stated periods in scrip, to
the insured.
This class of insurers certainly have
no just grounds of complaint it,. as
some think, our home companies
charge trifle higher rates than is
charged by others, and sometimes not
very responsible companies.
The success of the Merchants Mutu-
al is remarkable. 1t is yet a young
company, chartered but ten years since
and was organized and operated with
energy for two or three years after
wards. 1t has, nevertheless, made
scrip dividends to its dealers for the
last seven years, and for the last five
years they have been so per cent, of
the premiums received, and what Is
still m ore remarkable, the company
calls in for redemption at par, as will
be seen by their advertisement, the
scrip issues of 1868 and 1864.
This is believed to be the first in
stance in this city. and probably in the
State, of an Insurance company calling
in its scrip for redemption, and furn-
ishes gratifying evidence of the pru-
dence and energy with which the COM
pany has been directed, enable it,
while among the youngest Of the In
surance companies of the city, to ac-
cumulate surplus sufficiently large to
warrant the redemption of their first
issues of scrip, and yet hold in reserve
q fund ample for all demands upon
them. Newark Advertiser, Jan, IL.

THE NATURALIZATION QUEsTIoS.-Thc
recent decision Of Judge Hoffman is Of
far greater Importance than would APP
poar from q cursory view. 1t does not
affect those wishing to pre-cmpt lands,
or who may have done so, provided
there is no flaw in their declaration of
intention to become citizens. 1t does,
however, entirely vitiate the acts Of ju-
rics in civil or criminal cases, which
were composed in whole or in part by
those who had been fraudulcntly natu-
rallied. There are doubtless many per-
sons confined in the State Prison who
were convicted byjurios, ono of whose
members were not citizens of tho United
States. Many of those convicts, who
have influential friends, will, no doubt,
apply for their discharges from impris-
onmcnt by q writ of haboas corpus. The
records of civil suits will be o~ycrhauled
and judgments will be set aside on nc
count of the illegality Of the verdict Of
the jury before whom they were tried.
Tho acts of all o~ficc-holdcrs, who may
belong to that unfortunate class pre-
scribed by the late decision, will be null
and void, and the sooner some Of them
tnko steps to cure the defects in their
naturalization papers, the better it will
DO for all parties concerned. No doubt
when our Legislature again meets, they
will pass a law logalizing tho official
acts of those who may now be lnboring
under this disability rs set forth by
Judge Hoffman in his late decision.

Shcrmnn's Cuban Resolution.

The resolution introduced on Satur-
day by Senator Sherman, investing the
President with power to recognize the
independence Of Cuba as soon rs they
shall have established de facto Gov
eminent, does not come n day too soon.
1t reflects the decided opinion Of the
great majority-we may almost say the
unanimous o~pinion-of the people of
the United States. No American of
sound head and heart can regard with
indifference the earnest struggle OF the
Cubaus to release themselves and their
fair island from q connection which has
grown altogether foreign to their tastes,
and as hateful from its monarchical
character as oppressive in its unequal
taxation. Setting aside the pre-exist-
ing fact that the United States has for
many years looked upon Cuba as des-
tined to become q part of the Union,
and that this sentiment has taken deep
root among the Cubans themselves,
there are still sufficient reasons apart
from this why our Government should
extend even moro than the sympathy
and moral aid to the revolutionary party
proposed by this resolution of Sherman.
The Cubans are our close neighbors.
They are striving for q free Government
like our own. They have given proofs
that they will initiate us in freeing their
slaves as soon rs they can free them
selves from the monarchy. They have
shown sincerity, pluck, moderation and
fortitude under great distresses. They
are respectable in numbers, wealth, in
telligence and virtue, and manifest q
tratornal regard for the people and Gov
eminent Of the United States.-Sde.

FEMALE

1t seems probable that Nevada will
soon mako the experiment Of female
suffrage. An amendment to tho Con-
stitution striking out the word ''male"
from the suffrage section Of the organic
law, has passed the Assembly, and it is
reported that it will receive the sanction
of the Senate. If submitted to the
people, it is almost certain to be Np-
proved by a large majority of tho citi-
zens of the State. The matter has been
argued-not ''agitated"-in Nevada for
several years past. The leading papers
in the State, tho Enterprise and the
News, have urged the adoption Of n fe-
male suffrage amendment since the first
Legislature convened, and their reason
ing in the premises hns often becn de-
cidedly novel if not always forcible.
The proportion Of soxes in the popu-
lation is at great disparity /; and if the
amendment is adopted it will DO curious
to note the effect that can be assigned
to it in the way Of inducing female i'm
migration. John Phoenix once de-
scribed an "Elysian Island" where
there was ''pcrfect republicanism, in
elusive of woman suffrage" He re-
ported that the delectable country was
the refuge of "Ladies who had not been
spoken with about marriage who had
nothing to attend to but matters Of
government and their cats" Tho cats
were at first considered q nuisance, but
stthe voice of the wailing babo being in
frequently heard in tho land, women
and men found it necessary to complete
their quiet happiness by occasionally
pinchiug the tails of the felines and de-
lighting their ears with the barbarous
echo Of q good squall." The argument,
of course, proceeded to this that las
Phoenix quoted and extended Tupper)
ga babe in tho house is-after all disa-
grecablo items nrc taken into consider
ntion-a pitcher of pleasure, and the
natural instinct of humanity Graves the
sound of the lamentations of the infant"
Returning to the question of woman
suffrage, Phoenix said that the Indies
became excessively independent in this
new Republic, and in order that the eli
gible maids might be brought to com.
plaisancy in the matter OF matrimony,
two votes were assigned to all tcminines
who married under the flag of the coun-
try. The job printers were ut once
oyerrun with business-printing we'd
ing cards. This story Of the " Elysian
Island" ended politically with the es-
t%ablishment ola Constitutional provision
reading: "All free white female citi-
zens, upwards, of sixteen years of age,
shall have the right to exercise the
elective franchise" etc. After this
amendment Ind been adopted, Phnnix
attended one sewing circle, convened
under the following call : "Thc gentle
men connected with the church Of Rev.
Mrs. Superb, D. D are hereby notified
to attend n quiltiug-party, which will be
held ut the house Of the Rectorcss, on
Thursday next, Mt half-past IL p. ~,

AN OLD NAN IN THE HANDS OF THIEVES

AN OLD MAN IN THE HANDS OF THIEVES.
The San Francisco Times of Saturday
has the following:
awe mentioned several weeks ago
the fact that an old man named Oscar
Nichols was robbed of u quantity of
money by falling into the hands Of rob-
beys in this city. 1t now appears that
he fell into the hands Of u couple Of the
sharps, who played being utter stran-
gers to each other, but both were anx-
ious for the wcll-being Of the old gen.
tleman. They showed him around, got
him drunk, and then took him up into
q noted den on Kearny street to make a
transfer of his money from his pockets
to theirs. They played with him rs cats
10 with mice, exultingly tossing around
the money before bagging it. They
bantcrcd each other on who could show
the most money one borrowed several
hundred dollars from the old man to
make a show, promising him half the
wager to be won. Then they showed
him the two ace game Of heads |
win, tails you lose. After they had got
all of his money, amounting in all to
about $500, they turned him out. The
old man complained to the authorizes
that he had made q permanent invest
ment,' and officers were detailed to ar
rest the parties. But thoy had made n
good haul and cleared out. They went
TO Sacramento and there boosted among
their sort of what a fine fish they had
caught. They wandered back after
they thought the danger had passed
over, and yesterday Sergeant Scybold
and officer Jones arrested two men
named William Tyler and - Garder,
as being the parties implicated in tho
robbery. They were locked up on n
charge of conspiracy.

A WARLIKE AMAzoN.-A woman
named Kate Swceny was before the Pc,
lico Court, yesterday, on the charge Of
assaulting II young mulatto woman
named Dora Gumpin, with a deadly
weapon, at No. 225 Perry street. Dora
alleged that, rs she was passing through
u yard in which KATE was sweeping, to
enter the house of her mother, Kate
seized n Ratchet and SHE'D it at her
head, narrowly grazing her body, when
she herself picked it up and carried II
into her mothers house; and that Kate
then took n large ax and battered the
door, demanding tho return of the
hatchct. Kate, on being permitted to
interrogate Dora, said "Did you not
throw nails at me, say? You will have
to speak out. Did you not call me a
crazy woman ?" Sho then obtained
the floor for tho purpose Of making Il
speech, and was proceeding at consider
able length into n random account Of her
first husband, when the Judge called
her to order. She declined to be called
to order, and snid ho would have to let
her finish, when the Judge called m

fenced her to pay n fine Of $40, or mp
pear for sentence, but she Raid "she

AMONG the curiositics Of hymn-sing.
ing, the following fact, which is youched
for by a correspondent Of the Church
Ners, deserves to be recorded. The
occasion was a Sabbath school ami
versary, not far from Oxford, England,
and among the hymns sung was the
famous composition with its well known
chorus, 80, that'll be joyful The
first verse describes the pleasures Of
heaven, and the refrain is therefore ap.
propriate, though peculiar but the
same cannot be said of the second,
which, according to Mr.. Young, ran as
follows "There is n hell of everlasting
pains, there sinners must with devils
dwell in darkness, fire and chains"
