A scene Of intense excitement took
place Saturday evening in the American
Theater, during the perilous trapeze per-
Torrance of the De Lave sisters, Lila
and Zoe. The younger of the sisters
had leaped across the house, turned
her fearful summersault, and was
caught in the arms of her elder
sister. In being lowered to the
stage she was dropped by the man
stationed to catch her. In her fall
she struck upon her head, and, besides
being momentarily stunned, must have
sustained severe injuries. The person
who had failed to catch the little one in
sisted on her re-performing the terrible
feat. The proposition was met by large
cries of dissent and Kisses, and the child
retired. In a few minutes she was again
introduced, amid cries of assent and dis
sent, applause and Kisses. A second
time she essayed the leap, but failed on
account of weakness. For several mo-
nents she swsyed to and fro over the
heads of the audience, while persons
cried Shame, shame y Several gentle
men present went to the rescue of the
child, and succeeded in rescuing her from
her perilous position. and the exhibition
ended. Philadelphia Age.

relative to the cold-blooded murder OF
John O. Cosby, by Lyle and Young, two
of his command, in 1863, for entertaining
sentiments similar to those contained in
'the Duncan Letter ?" If such acts were
not done by his orders, why were the
perpetrators not punished ? ....
Can he satisfy an enlightened people

out to talk with them as friends from the
same command, (for their murderers
were deserters,) and could have taken
them prisoners without resistance.
Can he satisfy honorable men that it
was right to burn Huntsville, whose in
habitants had taken the required oath Of
allegiance and were keeping it in good
faith ? Yet, another deserter from the

BEECHER ON TIE PRESS.

In his discourse on the 81, at the fun
eral of Henry J Raymond, Henry Ward
Beecher said Of the deceased:
He stood in the widest pulpit that is
known in modern society. The lawyer
has his narrow sphere of the forum; the
representative the close walks of the
legislature; the minister has his parish
and the walls of his church; and scarcely
speaks beyond. But there is, in this
day, pulpit which has no limit. 1t is
that of the Press. 1t is literally
the voice Of one that speaks, that is cry
ing in the wilderness. For all creeds,
and for all populace of the land through>
out the nations territories, from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean, the daily pa
pers speak; and there is not in modern
civilization a power which can compare
with this. There is no place in the
land which has so developed the daily
press as this; and among the builders
do not say the founders-but among
the builders 20 Of this foundation stands
Mr. Raymond prominently. Aside

Giving hope and health anew.
