TEE LAWS"
TUESDAY, 27rH APRIL 1869.

AMATEUR Performances in large countries are
subjects for criticism to a small circle OF TRENDS
for whose amusement alone they are intended.
Here we are obliged, five would enjoy the am
usement at all, to adopt such performances since
professional players do no longer visit us. Con-
seouently public criticism is almost out of ques-
ton since the will must be taken for the deed.
The first performance of the dramatic asso-
citation in West End was held on Saturday even
ing and seemed to nave given general satlstac-
ton. The leading characters were pretty we'll
sustained. The piece, a tragedy, and a heavy
one. was not so we'll suited to an amateur first
attempt-nor did many of the audience seem to
understand it. But this is only what can be
expected; for, to play tragedy not only requires
hard training of the players but also a degree
Of training on the part Of those composing the
audience.
We do not throw out these remarks with an
intention to discourage; on the contrary, we
only would draw the attention Of the association
that proficiency III Comedy is more easily at
tkasSintua.bblIe, than ii solemn tragedy,

G, a cover to the %cistern.
The Committee found, chat the Jailor had
already laid, though loosely, iron sheets
there, sufficient for the purpose intended,
to prevent dirt entering the %cistern. AS
il. moreover, cannot be ~foreseen, if this ci-
stern may not interfere with the rebuilding
of the courthouse, the Committee is of the
opinion, that the whole work proposed be
struck out thus saved $o2. Az.
The Committee also received a separate est1-
mate partly for the erection of a Wall-and
partly for a wood-fence in the yard OF the prison.
The Committee begs leave to observe, that
if fence for the sake of the lunatlcs IS TO be
carried up, this ought to be of mason-work, if
even more costly at first, but this measure it
cannot recommend at present. The ~lunatics
occupy the lower story of the building to the
South but as this building does not afford suffi-
Gent room, part of the lunatics are secured at
night partly in the upper story, partly IN the
cells of the prison. Supposing that a wall be
erected around the present lunatlc asylum,
which has room for 6 or 7 persons, then the
other %iunatics, who are iii the morning removed
from their sleeping places to the new yard,
would constantly be exposed to the rain and the
sun, as the small gallery outside their cells
would scarcely admit of room for 10 to 20
~lunatics. The Committee would therefore re-
commend that this work be postponed until a
proper additional building can be built.

How Divorces are Obtained.

A writer in the New York Telegram tells
how divorces are obtained:
A wife, for instance, unrestrained by any
virtuous compunctions, has a husband
greatly her senior in whom there is an ab-
sence of congeniality, or perhaps imagin-
ing she fancles some one else more, makes
application to the ever complaisant "di-
vorce lawyer" He hears statement of her
grivances, and promises her speedy relief
for big fee.
Regularly in his employment are set of
vile creatures whom, I beg the sex's par
don, must call women. Possessed of
some capital in the shape of personal at
fractions, but poerindeed in virtue, though
comely to the eye, they are putrescent in
their souls. They are eager performers ia
any act of turpitude. Instructed minutely
as to the foibles and follies of her
intended victim, she familiarizes her
self with his favor1te haunts, and gradually
insinuates herself into his acquaintance.
Perhaps she begins with opening an appa-
rent innocent Irritation, or by asking a
question, proper in itself. An acquaint-
ance formed, she then inaugurates system
of siren-hke Establishments, artfully weav-
ing her meshes, until her victim is bound,
hand and foot Few men care to resist
temptation when it becomes in such be.
witching form, and many take pleasure
thus in falling. About this time the law
yer(?) places shadower in his employ on
the track of the unsuspeeting dupe, who is
discovered entering an abode of gilded in.
fanny. The law presumes the rest. The
wife then, through the lawyer, enters hel
complaint, the proof of the husbands guilt
is conclusive, and the wife, triumphant in
her baseness, leaves the court with the all
of an injured woman.

Caught i'm His own Trap.

An individual, whose name we should
certainly make public if it could be obtain
ed, was served we'll deserved although
dishonest trick yesterday, in front of the
Burnet House, on Vine street. Rushing
along in search of dollar or two, he no.
ticed newsboy, or gamin whose general
appearance " as that of a newsboy or boot
black, pick up, turn over and scrutinize
carefully large sealed envelope. Looking
over the lads shoulder he read the address
"John Burton, Burnet House." and In q
corner the attractive mark 'tS100."
'tBoy," said he, 'swhat are you doing
with that2" at the same time grabbing a
corner of the envelope.
The boy looked startled and alarmed, and
stammered out that he was looking for the
owner. That clinched it.
''My names Burton, and there's hum
dred dollars in there that belongs to us; give
it here said Greedy Grab.
The boy whined and demanded ten dol
lars for finding it.
''Get away" said Greedy Grab.
"Giye me five dollars, or I'll yell, " said
the boy.
''Well, here, there's dollar" replied
Greedy Grab; ''now get out, or I will kick
you"
The boy scampered off, with dollar in
his fist and grin on his face. The man
who had purchased one hundred dollars
with one, rushed into a corner of the Bur-
net House bar. room, tore open the envelope,
found in it fragment yesterdays Ga
zette, and rushed out again, followed by a
cha ha + yell from trio of bootblacks
who had followed and watched him. = Gin

An Egyptian Marriage.

A Paris correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune gives the following description of
an entertainment got up by the Egyptians
to entertain the French Empress:
They are in the midst of the inaueura-
ton festivities in Egypt. I promised you,
in my last, the account of a wedding made
expressly to show the Empress how they
marry in the land of Pharaoh, and I now
redeem my promise. First comes two
halfnaked wrestlers; then two Bedouins
on horseback, engaged IN sham fight with
lances; then boat drawn by horses, filed
with men pretending to row, and carrying
a large square sail; the notary mounted,
with all his implements; four camels, rid
den by tambourine beaters, and bell-ring-
ers; then two children who were to be cir
cumclsed, on richly ornamented horses,
holding under their noses the traditional
handkerchief, followed by copper plates on
which were engraved the traditional en-
blems of circumcision; red htters on
camels backs, filed with fruits, flowers and
leaves; a swarm of young girls dressed in
red, carrying FANS and finally the red dias
under which sat the bride, dressed in red
and loaded with necklaces, sustained by
two companions. Before, behind, and on
the sides, were crowd of musicians.
How amusing it must be to go to we'd
ding in that country But do not deceive
yourselves. This was the fashion forty
Years ago, but now it is a mere show for
an Empress. The present inhabitants of
Cairo marry as quietly as you and L; dress
very much like US, and one Of these days
our sons will see twill possess all the
customs of Chicago or Paris, like good
Franco-Americans.

A Brain AtmOspher e.

A new theory is propounded to show why
one happens to think Of persons he has
not seen for years just before meeting them
A similar phenomenon often happens when
one has impressions of the death of friends
who may be thousands of miles away, and
subsequently learns that they died at that
particular moment. A writer in the Lon.
don Spectator thinks that there is brain
atmosphere extending through space, more
subtle than the air or even than the cleo
trio fluid AS the undulations of the air
occasion sound, ard the undulations of
the ether give the impression of light,
so the undulations of this brain
atmosphere may convey impressions be-
tween sympathetic minds. The theory is a
very ingenious one, and there are certainly
m amy facts which it will explain very satis-
fsctorily, but these different atmospheres
must be curiously constituted, if so many
different vibrations, moving from SO many
directions, do not interfere with one ano b.
er. The theory of light with its hum
dred of millions of ethereal vibrations every
second, through the vast space between the
earth and sun, or between the earth and a
distant nebul@, has always been tough
morsel for our mental digestion. The mas
ters of science lay down the law, and we
submit, but our faith is weak. And now
comes N new atmosphere, with new
sense of motions. 1t is little too much
for us, we confess, and looks saw mud
die, as the world did TO poor Stephen
Blackwell. With vibrations of air, vibra-
tions of ether, vibrations of brain atmos-
phere, and vibrations of electricity, 1--WE
suppose that must vibrate too), things will
get mixed up badly. 'Tis no wonder IN
sanity is increasing, for so many vibrations
are enough to addle any weak brain, and
make it difficult to distinguish one from
'tother. We must beg our scientific friends
to hold up, and keep their discoveries OF
any more atmospheres to themselves. We
shall be crushed under the load, if the mum
Der is increased. There is limit to hu.
