'OtnelAON 81 the Ohcsnnfs
Mr.. Davenport has played "Slr Giles Overreach"
many times I'm this city previous to the present sea
soD but, strange 70 say many intelligent playgoers
appear 10 have just discovered its extraordinary
merits and have become enthusiastic over It as II It
were new thing. The representation OF Oeheuo
last evening appeared TO be quite as much OF a sur
prise TO large number OF persons in the audience,
and yet Mr.. Davenport has often performed the
part and TO more advantage than he did last eveu-
ing. In some respects Mr. Davenport's "Otheo" is
entitled stand at the head the long list Of char
acters In which he has gained celebrity and YET pro-
foundly pathetic and impressive as it is, it is
not perfect artistic work, and
is not the "Othello" Of Shakespeare. Mr.. Daven-
port makes the Moor, especially ia the early scenes
OF the play, sentimental lOver-a sort OF Romeo
with tawJy skin. There is absolutely nothing OF
the frank and almost hrusque soldier Shakespeare
takes much pains describe accurately and 1t s
not until the quarrel scene in the second act that
Mr. Davenport fills out the idea every thoughtful
reader Of the tragedy form with regard 60 its
hero From this point on however, the perform
ance is one OF SURPRISING power and interest, and
the profound psthOs OF the last scene-a scene in
which few actors able to achieve more than par
tal successis realized by this great artist in such
manner as mere than to redeem the mistakes OF
the opening scenes.
A crCdtable performance OF the part OF fIago"
was to be expected from Mr.. Thorne, but he last
evening proved himself more finished artist than
we had ever credited him with being. The charac-
ter OF "Iago" is marked by many fine touches, and
Mr., ThoTne has hitherto distinguished himself by
breadth and freedom rather than by fneness of
style All the lights and shades OF lhs most subtle
piece OF dramatic portrature were represented by
the actor last evening with remarkable skill The
performance was powerful but subdued in tone and
1t made very marked impression upon the au-
dience. Mr.. Thornes "Iago" will advance his re-
putation an artist more than anything he has vet
done in this city.
and Mrs Davenport played the part Of "Emuia" in
admirable style

IN reference to the cancer curing propen-
sities of the Cundurango tree, about which
we published lengthy article last week,
we lay before our readers q circular which
has just been published by the Department
of State. Although the first supply of the
wood has been exhausted, the government
will very soon receive large amount of it.
when its merits will be fully tested:
The State Department has received a large
number of letters from parties in different
parts of the country asking to be supplied with
some Of the Cundurango, the recently discov-
cred cancer remedy, brought to the attention
of the government by the Ecuadorian minister.
The applicants are answered by circulars,
follows: Sir-'l In compliance with your wishes
! enclose a copy of correspondence which has
passed between this department, the minister
of Ecuador, credited to the United States, AM
the minister of the United States at Quito,
relative to the discovery of vegetable called
Cunderango The limited supply of plant with
which this department was furnished has been
exhausted" 1t is said by Dr. Bliss, of this
city, who has charge of the experiment, that
the remedy has been successful in all cases in
which it has been admin isterel.

fdently expected. and what they boastingly
predicted the Democracy would do. That
course would inevitably defeat lis in 1872,
and the refusal OF the Democratic party to
be caught in the web woven for it by the
Radical spider has dissipatod all the bright
dreams of Radical victory, based on the
insane folly of its opponents. By ignoring
the fifteenth as we'll as the other two amend
ments from the next Presidential contest,
the Democracy will place that struggle pre-
csely;where the Radicals did net expect and
do not desire it-on the sins Of Grants weak,
unsatisfactory, despised and corrupt admin
istratio
Living issues press upon rs and demand
our serious reflection and energetic action.
Let the dead past bury its own dead. Do
not, as the gifted Vallandigham said, lie the
Democra tic party to a corpse. If that par
ty, by a united and vigorous effort, cannot
strike down the consolidated despotism which
is surely oversh Allowing what Of constitu-
tioaal liberty is left--if it cannot coEquer
and drive from power the present adminis-
tration by assailing it at its inuumera5le de-
feuceess points-that result, in our judg-
mcnt. canuot be brought about either by the
discussion or agitation of negro suffrage.

The Ohio Radical Convention met last
week and nominated Col. Edward f. Noyes
for Governor. After the return Of the San
Domingo Commissioners. Ben Wade. who
was one of the illustrious trio, was put for
ward as the Grant candidate for Governor
of that State. Benjamin published a letter,
in which he laid, like Barkis, that be was
willing. 4 short time afterwards, fearing
the unseaworthiuess of the Grant ship, he
declined to take passage in her. Very late
ly, however, he relented, and returning to
his first love, said again that he was willing
and would accept the nomination. The
votes cast fer him in the convention 1Cade too
lightly in the balance to do Benjamin any
good Indeed, we think that more votes
were cast for that ubiquitous individual,
Scattering, than for Wade. Neither did the
convention endorse the San Domingo swin>
die, nor did 1t re-uomiuate Grant. The
Democrats expected the Buckeye Radicals to
re-enact the dodge so successfully played
by Peter c. Shannon in the Radical conven-
ton OF the State and had strong hopes it
would have been done. As it is, the Ohio
Radicals have unceremoniousiy buried Wade.
San Domingo and Grant in one common
political grave. Sic transit.

The wonderful ice cave in Decorah,
Winuesheik county. To-, is vertical fssure
in the face of the cliff of Trenton limestone
that forms a part of the bank of the Upper
Iowa river. 1t is about one hundred feet
deep in all it's windings, is from two to eight
feet IN width, and varies still more in height
In the winter the cave is free from ice, but
upon the approach of hot weather the ice
begins to accumulate, and solid, hard, and
dry cakes encrust the sides and bottom of
the cave. When the weather is hottest the
cave is most abundantly storsd with ice.
