At the performance of "Dora," the
other night, in Western city, when
Mary Morrison made her exit to bring
on her little Willie of four years, she was
shocked to find n lubberly boy of at least
fourteen; and as he was the only Willie
at hand, on he must go, though he was
we'll nigh as big as his mother.
The Farmer Allen of the play, being
equal to the emergency, instead of in
quiring GLOW old are you, my little
man?' endeavored to remedy the matter
by saying "How old are you, my strap
ping boy?"
But he failed; for tho boy, who was
Instructed to say ''from four to Six" said
it in such coarse, sepulchral tone as to
drive tho good-natured grand father to
exclaim "Forty-six! You look it, my
boy, you look it!''
INTENSE HEAT.-At Colusa, California
on the 29th of June, the thermometer
indicated ITO degrees in the shade at
midday, and ninetytwo degrees at mid
night. But that was nothing to the
heat at "Rattlesnake Bar" on the same
day, where the thermometer stood ut
118 degrees. The unusual hot weather
this season has injured the grape vines
in some places.
The New York Herald, of Sunday, in
its money report for the day before, re-
marks: "In Southern securities there
was an active demand for the new North
Carolinas. South Carolinas were dull
and heavy, the recent loan of the State
credit for the nine millions to the Blue
Ridge Railroad not being favorably re-
garded."
BURNED TO DEArH.-A despatch dated
Alexandria, Egypt, July 3, says:
"a very sad accident occurred in
Cairo, few days ago. Miss Hart, lady
connected with the American mission,
and her two servants we're burned to
death by the sudden ignition of can of
parafne."
A Washington correspondent states
that German banker has offered to
loan the Government $500, 100000 at
five per cent, but Mr.. Boutwell, has de-
clined it, as he has reason to believe that
he can next winter borrow m money enough
at four and half per cent. to take up
the five-twenties now due.
The most dangerous counterfeit of an
internal revenue stamp yet discovered
was received yesterday at the Revenue
Bureau in Washington, from Keokuk,
Iowa. 1t is twonty-one pound tobacco
stamp, valued at thirty-two cents.
DEcEAsED.-James W. Dempsey, of
Boston, who lost an arm in the engage
ment between the Kearsarge and the
Alabama, and the last survivor of the
wounded among the Kearsarge crew,
died in that city on Saturday night.
On Monday last, Mrs. Malloy, q lady
who was visiting Captain Reynolds, at
Nachez, Miss, fell from the door of Cap
tain Reynolds residence, to the pave
ment, and died almost instantly.
Private and semi official information
from the Philippine Islands has been
received at Washington of threatened
formidable insurrection there against the
Spanish authority.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, in describ-
ing the foil of real estate in that city,
says that 'tnever before, since 1861,
were vacant houses SO plentiful in fhila
delphia."

The AIMS OF THE VIRGINIA CoNsERyA-
of the New York Journal of Conn cree
says that distinguished Republican DO
litician OF Ohio, who has Just returned
from tour through Virginia, gives the
following report:
cat White Sulphur Springs, and other
places, he met many of the most distin-
guished politicians of the Old Dominion,
and from them he believes he has
gathered the real sentiment and inten-
tions OF the successful party in the late
election. Among these representative
men were franklin Stearns, Baldwin,
Thomas Flournoy, Lieutenant Cover nor
Lewis Aylett, r. T. Daniel Chairman
State Committee) and others. These
men assert that the Walker party, with
which they are allied, has no sympathy
with the old Democratic party of Vir
ginia; that that party is defunct, and
that it Is the sincere desire and intention
of the conservative element of the State,
led by Walker, to form an integral part
of the great Republican party, and that
they hope they will not be driven from
the stand they have taken by any dis
couraging action upon the part of the
Republicans of the North.
$50 far as the belief that the old Vir-
ginians are hostile to Northern emigra-
tion to the State is concerned, they state
it resolves itself into the simple question
whether emigrants come to identify
themselves permanently with the inte-
rests of the State or to seek political ad-
vancement. To the former class. those
who como with ability or capital to build
up the p ornament interests of Virginia,
they extend most cordial invitation,
and will give them such social and ma
terial recognition as lies in their power.
With the latter they wish nothing to do,
or, to use their Southern expression,
they have no use for them These men
believe that, restored to tho Union under
the influences of the Republican party,
Virginia has before her the most hope
full future Of any Southern State, and
not inferior to that of any common
wealth in the nation. Arrangements are
being made by the State Agricultural
Society to disseminate knowledge of
the resources of the State, with view
of securing for her the greatest possible
iniuii grafton"

Col. W. FL. Campbell, of Greenville,
has been on lecturing tour through
several Southern cities, and has been
highly commended by the press many
of the papers comparing him to Thack-
cray and other distinguished lecturers.
The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
says:
"CoL. CAMPBELL's LECTURE on MAC
BETH. Public patronage is not unfre-
attainments, at which public apprecia-
tion as often fails to be excited and
public anticipation realized. The cant
phraseology of newspaper paragraphs
commonly raises the hope Of mental
feast, or rich literary treat, by prodigal
expenditure of praises. which is as often
dashed by n-fulfllment of the pro-
mise. It affords us, therefore, unusual
pleasure to announce that the lecture of
Col. W. Fl. Campbell, of South Carolina,
delivered at Lyceum Hall, was not only
success in an elocutionary point Of
view, bnt as a scholarly and rhetorical
effort corroborative of the prestige and
reputation Of the orator. Full OF vigor-
Gus thought and suggestive conception,
it was marked by original ideas, embo-
died in terse and sententious expression,
relieved, rs should only be the treatment
of severe philosophic thesis, by occa-
sional flashes of bright imagery.
''The historical sketch of Macbeth,
although cursorily drawn, was not only
singularly accurate, but as complete as
its relevancy required. The defence of
Lady Macbeth against the vulgar belief
of her being an execrable fiend, full of
bad passions and bloody purposes, was
eloquently sustained by excerpts from
the play, quoted in recitative by the lee
turer, with much dramatic power and
effect. But it is misapplication of the
term to call this exposition of the charac-
ter of Macbeth a lecture. We rather in
cline to stamp it as an analytic review of
the play, in which the salient features OF
the piece and it's leading personages were
so critically scrutinized that we actually
compassed the operation of the machine
ry of the one and detected the secret
motives and impulses of the other. In
fact, the skill Of the artist succeeded in
giving us n mimetic representation OF
this splendid tragedy, said to be only
second to the Eumenides of Eschylus.
The arrangement and development Of the
disquisition was such as to present to the
mental eye of the audience panoramic
view of the scenes and incidents of the
stage original, rendered, if we may use
the expression. somewhat realistic by the
declamatory interludes aud interlocutory
dialogues introduced by way of illustra-
tion."

printing, from visiting and business cards
to pamphlets and books. With ample

stand anything in that line.
Mr.. H. G. Hack, who for several years

Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi,
says Washington despatch to the New
York Herald, arrived here yesterday. He
is very sanguine of the success of the
conservative ticket at the approaching
election in that State. Judge Dent, he
says, will undoubtedly receive the nomi-
nation for Governor from the consorva-
tive convention, which it is expected will
meet in September. It is thought the
radicals will nominate James L. Alcorn,
native Mississippian, who formerly re-
presented the State in the United States
Senate. Sharkey, who is regarded as an
extreme man OF the State rights school,
says the people of Mississippi are anxious
to get back into the Union, and although
under other circumstances they would
not, perhaps, take Republican like
Judge Dent, yet they are compelled to
choose between O moderate man like
him and the extreme radicals, and of the
two evils they think they will take the
least. The Mississippi politicians. of
whom Governor Sharkey is type, have
concluded that it is wise policy for them
to follow the example Of Virginia, and
not only get into the Union, but obtain
control of their own State affairs. The
Governor thinks the Mississippi me-
groes will vote the conservative ticket in
about the same proportion as they did
in Virginia. He says they are gradually
dropping off from the radicals, and with
the assurance that their rights will be
protected, prefer, as rule, to go with
their old masters He expresses some
fear that General Ames, who, he says, is
violent radical. will use his influence
and power as military commander to de-
feat the conservatives, unless he is eau
toned on that point by President Grant

nette of Washington and a representation
of the discovery of America by Columbus

Chief Justice Chase, as on those now in
use. The new two dollar notes will
have vignette of Jefferson and view

Franklin, on the present ones. The

ga FIaHT FOR A CUsToM HoUsE-RA
DICAL SORAAIBLE FOR THE SPoMs.-The
radical scramble for the spoils connected
with the Charleston Custom House, ac
counts OF which we have given, are dis.
graceful to all concerned. It was simply
fight among radicals for possession oi
public plunder, and, no matter who were
engaged in it, it is safe to blame all hands
when such proceedings were allowed to
occur at all The late Collector is, we
believe, q, native of the South, was an
unfiinchipg Union man during the war,
and the subject OF the most vifulent per-
secution at the hands Of the rebel South
Carolinians. He sacrificed q fortune for
the cause, and probably at this day has
as many bitter enemies in, Charleston as
any man who fought in the Union
armies. The new Collectors war record
is not very luminous, being that of an
army sutler from Massachusetts,; but it is
Just to say that he can, no doubt, take
the iron-cled or any other oath, so far as
loyalty is concerned, with q clear con-
science. But it is the fighting about the
spoils that stamps the whole affair with
shame, and if saoh proceedings continue
they will stamp the Republican party
With dishonor, drive respectable men
from its ranks and inevitably lead to it's
ultimate and complete disruption"
We copy the above from the New York
Herald In the main, it is substantial in
its statements; some trifling inaccuracies
we propose to correct. The late Collsc-
tor may have been ''sn unfinching Union
man" during the war; it is possible, but
beyond his notorious Masonic relations,
DIR. Mackey's name was, we venture to
say, 20 the people of South Carolina, q
thing unknown. If he did sacrifice a
fortune" we confess to scepticisn,
to the existence of the said fortune-.it
no doubt has been amply replaced by the
rich fruits Of his recent Office. The
prosecutions" which he endured from
the ''rebel Carolinians," originate and
exist entirely in the fancy of the Herald.
DR.. Mackey has many "bitter enemies, u
not only sin Charleston" but in the
State of South Carolina, who entertain
the most inveterate contempt and dis.
gust for afvile scalawag and Southern
renegade. The new Collectors "war re-,
cord" We are not prepared to examine
the chart of his life can scarcely be worse
than Mackey's; assuming that it is, we
believe that it IS the general and common
election, TO prefer the foreign to the do
mestic pillager. We argue with the
Herald, sit is fight for spoils;" and VIC
apprehend if respectable men" could
have been "driven frc the radica
party" by such and 81, ar shameful
proceedings, it would long since have
been depleted by the conduct of their
party office-holders in the South.
