necessary for him TO demand the same salary
an American actor of the same degree would
receive. This would bring about an imme-
date reaction, for our managers, most OF
them acute and sensible men, are fully alive to
the fact that in everything pertaining to the
representation Of what Is called Legitimate"
drama, there is no talent in England compa-
rable to that in this country For the lower
class of performances, like burlesques, English
comedians are understood to possess certain
qualifications which Americans do not enjoy.
This is owing to the fact that the "break
"down," which s the principal feature of modern
English extravaganza, has not hitherto been
considered among us the fttest expression of
feminine grace and loneliness, and has been
allowed to remain the ornament OF the negro
minstrel halls, from which it was first dragged a
dozen years ago, to adOrn the stage OF Great
Britain. We presume that no duty could be
mt mon the "break- down." in view OF the
rnIe which exempts "articles of the growth OF
1.-THE United States, brought back in the same
" condition as when exported" but London
burlesaue effects and burleeque performers
would be legitimate subjects for re-
straint. Nothing in the present Tarn
precisely meets their case. 1t Is true
that for padding wigs, busts, false hair,
dyes, fictitious figures, and anatomical prepar-
ations generally, duties ranging from ~ TO on
per cent are required; but the artful combina-
lions of these and other commodities which
nightly enlven the metropolitan boards are
! suffered to flood our theatrical warehouses free
of tribute. AS regards the importation OF un-
deserving representatives of other dramatic
"lines,n hasty glance at the list OF imports
might suggest the mistaken impression that
they were in some degree provided for, since
muffs, spoons, sticks, and leeches are allowed
to enter only upon well defined conditions
but acts of Congress do not deal in metaphor
or imagery. The reality of tariff revision is
the one thing needed to save the native
profession from impending doom.

market for many of the old farms at the
low prices referred to. and there are local
tiles where they have come in such num-
bers as to change the whole social aspect,
and it is probable that this immigration will
go on until, as in some parts of Ohio, the
Germans will possess the land, while the
North Carolinian, the Tennessean, or his de-
scendants, will find fresh fields in Arkansas
and Southern Missouri, for, like the poets shep-
herd, "freshn territory belongs to his system
of agriculture. The ignorant German, how
ever, knows no better, it would seem, than to
take up these farms, and, by investing the Ia
Dor of his muscles, get rich for, wherever he
comes into possession, the barren fields give
place to the verdure Of clover, and fat cattle
appear on hills where, when covered with for
est. it was difficult to find a squirrel. The
Mississippi bottom is about six miles broad,
and bordered on the eastern side by bills so
numerous and lofty that the land can be bought
for mere trife-that is, for ten cents an acre.
and they are often covered with heavy timber
which at present is inaccessible. This Mlssis-
sippi bottom is unsurpassed for its fertility, and
it only requires continuous levees, to prevent
Spring oyerhOws, to become the most valued ana
productive region on the American continent.
Evidently the task of retaining the fertility OF
these highlands and Of draining and building
leyees on the low lands, is too great Tor the
class of people now occupying this section, ana
the coming German immigration seems a means
wisely adapted to the end Indicated.

The hero of Pickwick has come again. KS
ing in his condition, as oil respectable English
men have chance to do, when they come TO
this country, he has become a United states
Senator. More than that, he has be-
come a United States Senator from North
Carolina. He submits to no insults. He jeal-
ously guards his honor. When people speak
of puppies and mastiffs ia his presence he de-
mands to know if they mean him. If they DO
they must fight. If they do not mean him
directly, but only him contingently
all is we'll He can still live in North Caro-
Ina, the cynosure of all eyes, the dream OF
fair women, the champion of brave men. The
puppies and mastiffs, it appears only
meant him centngently, if he filled the
bill. He thinks he did ELL the bill,
but as that is only his own thought of course
he cannot be insulted by it. The explanation
is satisfactory, and peace reigns in Washing
ton. = Meanwhile dseOrdant din breaks
out in the Providence Plantations. sol
der, and man Of q million (said
on high authority to be more cOwardly
than half a nillion), pronounces his Senator a
liar, calumniator, and poltroon. This seems to
lis very much to the point. 1t cannot be pro-
nounced hard to understand; nor does the SEN
ator to whom it is addressed need to write
any letters asking whether it means him.
Manifestly it does mean hm-yery much. We
pause for the next act in the wonderful
drama. Doubtless We shall have Pickwiek
again. Wounded Senatorial honor will
once more he some way or other patched up !;
but the exhibition will be pleasing evidence
OF the surprising elasticity with which British
| Inventions develop on American soil.

The feature in the Esprit Photograph trial
yesterday was the testimony of an amateur ex-
pert that he had produced such photographs,
substantially undistnguishable in charac-
ter from those claimed to be genuine
portraits of spirits, in numerous different ways,
and that he could do it so as 10 avoid detec-
ton even by practical photographers Of course
this only goes to show that other agencies may
produce result similar to what it is claimed
the spirits cause; it does not prove that the
pictures now in question in court have not
been produced by spiritual influences. To
prove that is to prove .negative-a task
certainly not at all likely to be accomplished
in this case. But if the Court really desires
to form Judgment of tho man Numbers
work, aided at all by his history and previous
performances in the same line, We venture
to suggest the wisdom of summoning as
witness the head of the great jewelry house in
Boston with which he had, at one time,
some sort Of connection From what We

requests are made outside of his family. After
devising certain paintings, crayon pictures,
daguegreotyes, portraits, books, &c., to his
sons and his sister Ellen Mrs. DR.. Lincoln)
he bequeaths his own and his wife's watches to
two of the former. To his sister Ellen and his
neice, Martha Oliver Fessenden, he leaves me-
mentoes of himself. To his cousin, Elizabeth
Caroline Warmer, he bequeaths $4,000 in
bonds; for VIM. Pitt Fessenden, son of his

watch to be purchased. All the residue of his

them on his books as an advance. His sons
