Abbott.

In its review of Abbott's hasty pud.
ding life of Napoleon ILL.," the
New York Times makes the following
Just remarks:
Rev. Mr.. Abbott has the knack Of ta-
king up with capital subjects for the sort
of stunning" books which he is given
to manufacturing. He paints with very
big brush, on very large canvases; and
though, in an artistic point of view, the
result of his INNINGS is not of very
admirable or eternal kind, it is notice.
able that his productions have always a
species Of interest that accounts for their
great popularity. To be sure, if Mr.. Abb
bolts Intellectual powers we're more pro-
nouuced, or if Mr.. Abbott had an ade-
quate appreciation of the actual mea-
sure of his powers, it is probable the rev
erend biographer and historian would not
be able to produce the biographies aud
histories he turns out of hand. Bot
modesty is net Mr.. Abbotts besetting
weakness. He has the skill to seize
class of broad, sensational contempo-
rsry themes, about which really able men
are apt to feel it is not yet possible to
write; be has learnt that he may safely
rely on the popular interest which is sure
to attach to such themes treated in an
off-hand, slap-dash, storytelling fashion.
Thus accoutred he plunges 10 where
merit hesitaies 10 tread, and leaves to
abler men only modification at a used
up possibility. If Mr.. Abbott shall en-
ioy no other fame, he will at least de-
serve TO figure as the most successful
spoiler Of splendid subjects.

A Churchman Against Church and State.

The British House of Lords furnishes
some very able antagonists of the Irish
Church establishment Lord Monck, the
late Governor Genral of Canada, who is
an Irish Protestant and an Irish Peer,
has delivered speech which was sur
prise to the Lords. He not only de-
manded the disestsblishment of the Irish
Church, but he made the first declaration
by eburchman in Parliament that the
general principle of Church establish
ments is doomed. He declared as fol-
lows:
HE did not desire to fight under false
colors. He admitted that, independently
of the special circumstances of the Irish
Church, he was, on principle and as
churchmsn, opposed to all connection
between Church and State. He believed
that wherever that connection existed,
the same blighting and benumbing in
huence would be found to affect the
Church. Holding these views he did not
share in the gloomy forebodings Of those
who thought the Irish Church could not
survive its ssverence from the civil
power, for the experience he had had in
Canada of the beneficial effect on the
Church of throwing her upon her own
resources precluded him from entertain
ing such apprehensions."

manded the closest interest. She thought
the right to propose, aud to make love, If
you like, involved more radical charge
in society than did the right to vote. 1t
was right to follow ones feelings, which
she, who is to be mother, should GER
tainly have a right to do. Such sys.
tenn would be elevating the whole race.
We agitators, she said, do not seek to
raise women only. We seek to raise the
other sex 10 a higher level of humanity
with us.
miss Susan B. Anthony spoke few
words on the same subject. Women
will propose because they will accumu.
late fortunes, and will invite their gentle
men friends to share their brown-stone
houses with them. Mrs Andrew J. Davis
spoke very gracefully on the rights of
women, and the hope Of society and the
world. Mr.. Packard, 10 replying to the
toast, "The Model Magazine" said that
be could speak more intelligently twenty
years from now.
"The company rose from the table
about ii o'clock, the gentlemen all ad.
mitting that the ladies had outdone them
as orators, and the ladies, we dare say,
agreed with them Everybody retired in
the best of spirits, and all determined
that the pleasures Of the evening should
be repeated before many months"

Hayti.


The dispatches of Admiral Hoff, United
States Navy, to the Department, an
nouncs that the state of affairs at Aux
Cages is in q deplorsble condition. A
revolving series of military executions has
been carried out at Aux Cages by the
rebel authorities. Among other persons
shot was General Bogila, who, although
honorably acquitted by court martial
for suffering defeat, in consequence of
the flight of his soldiers, was summarily
executed by order Of Dominique, the
rebel leader. General Mentor, who had
refused to join the revolution, was tried
by court-martial and condemned to six
months Imprisonment. Notwithstanding
this sentence, Mentor, unable to stand in
consequences of illness, was taken out of
his cell, tied in chair, and, with others,
shot down with grape aud canister. Sew
eral other persons were shot with
out any form of trial, upon the
mere denunciation of unknown in
dividuals, for having spoken against
the revolution. The reason for
this wholesale butchery is given as
follows: Upon the arrival of Sslnsve's
forces before the town of Aux Cages, and
upon the first attack, the prisoners in the
Jail were ordered into the courtyard Of
the prison. The sick were carried down,
the doors were thrown open, and q dis
charge Of musketry was fred into them.
This being found insufficient to kill fast
enough, rounds of grape and canister
we're directed against them to hasten the
dreadful butchery. Many women were
thus sacr6ced-the wives and sisters of
parties charged with having Joined Sal
nave's party. One hundred and nine
persons were in the prison, among them
ten women, who were all killed. Cape
Haytien is surrounded by the rebels, and
the inhabitants are in great destitution.
On February 10th, the rebels attacked
the town of Gonalves, but were repulsed
after sharp firing from the town batteries
and assisted by Sslnsve.

A Blast Against Black Crook" Naked


The Lord Chamberlain of England,
who by law has supervision over theaters
and their productions, recently addressed
circular, condemning the nudity in
dulged in by women employed in Black
Crook performances. Ia response, IAN
Actress offers some comments upon
this order through the columns of the
London Telegraph;
"The circular of the Lord Chamber
lain to the managers of theaters hardly
hits the right nail on the head when it
imputes the blame to managers of thea
ters for the want of discretion and good
taste in the improperly of the costumes
Of the ladies in the pantomimes and bur-
.lesques. A thester is now conducted
purely as commercial speculation, and
the manager merely produces that fare
for his patrons - the public - which
brings most grist to mill 1t is the pub
lie who are to blame for encouraging the
want of taste and-dress. For actresses
themselves / can only with diffidence
speak, though | can certainly assert that
the repugnance to assume the costumes
referred to is general in the profession
but actresses have to work for their liv-
ing, and in most cases what pays best is
the guiding rule. Necessarily what pays
the manager best pays his employees
best. Actresses, be it remembered, do
not provide their own costumes. These are
designed for them by some one at the mau-
ayers request (who is guided by the
public demsnd), and to refuse to wear
them would be tantamount to giving no.
tice and losing the chance of employment.
In my own case, for instance, on taking
my present engagement, made proviso
not to appear in boys parts, nor to play
in tights. Consequently had to accept
very low terms. Had | been willing to
accept any part, and play in any cos
tune, / could have commanded double
my present salary. The manager, ! am
sure, did not for one moment think l
should act any better in tights but he
thought, with what reason | cannot say
-and trust that it may ever remain a
mooted question-that | should draw
better the less / was clad. Luckily, /
could afford to resist the temptation Of
increased pay; but to very many of the
most honest, hard-working and respecta-
BILE actresses of the day, the extra salary
is of the greatest importance. Often
having not only themselves but others
dependent on them, they are compelled
to pocket their pride-and the extra
emolument. The public who crowd the
theaters and applaud the costumes COM
planned of are the people to blame, and it
is to them the Lord Chamberlain should
have issued his warning"
This subject is likely to be vigorously
discussed in England. 1t might be con-
sidered with advantage in this country.

When the Princess Alexandra, consort
Of the Prince Of Wales, arrived at Kor.

after she had embraced them, the
Queen trying to restrain her tears,
and the King holding out the
hands Of his daughter in bis own, and
gazing tenderly at her. he then lifted
her into the carriage, handed the Queen
into it, took bis little grandson on bis
lap, and drove away with them.
