the great author somewha. unpieasantly mixed
by such course, it is understood by his sec
onds that he feels able now to fight under any
rules of the ring that may be prescribed, or,
rather, that he will be able to delineate Shaks-
peare according to any new reading that his
adversary may introduce. Better than all,
however, he is learning the carpenters trade
and is taking lessons at riding school. So
long as Shakespeare is illustrated by the elabo-
rate framework that Messrs. Booth and Pal
mer have introduced to ns at their respective
theatres, and SO long as Richard rides horse
back at the head of his procession, it has been
considered absolutely necessary that the uni
versal champion of the stage should fully un-
derstand the mysteries of flies and wings, and
grooves and trapdoors, even if he is not COM
petent to make the leaps and cut the capers Of
Harlequin, and that he should also ride q
steady old cob gracefully and with some guar
antee of safety to his colaborers upon the
stage and in the orchestra. In all these par
ticulars Mr.. Pennington has been training for
some time, and they say now that he pecls of
as clear and hard as marble; or, rather, to
speak in strictly stage parlance, that be is
fully 'up" in all the business of the stage and
all the modern improvements upon Shakespeare.
We wait with some impatien ce this friendly
wager of battle. With Phelps and King and
Dillon all sparring at the gallant Pennington
at once the seen, ought to call forth as tre-
mendous crowd as the Mace and Heenan
combat at the Bowery last year. Or perhaps
Mr.. Pennington will consent to sail against
only one yacht at o time-we mean that he
will consent only to ''delineate" against his
rival tragedians one by one. However that
no favor. If these can be guaranteed, possibly
some of our American actors may be induced
to take part. Booth, with his princely melan-
choly, may modestly enter for the prize. For
rest, with his gigantic legs and his overpower-
ing presence, may be induced to compete, and
even modest, retiring Mexican Buchanan, or
Mr.. E. Eddy or Mr.. Neaie, those glories Of
our own Old Drury, with their good old time
stage walk, their impressive rolling of the
letter r, and their magnificent play Of fea-
ture-the science of expression in the rough
which Delsarte perfected-all these might feel
called to take part in this Shakspearian COM
bat. Thus il would become an international
contest, and partake in its effects of the inter
national glory and harmony that sprung out of
the Heenan and Sayers match, and the Oxford
and Harvard boat race, and the ocean yacht
race Of July last, and the great High Joint
Commission. Aud in this respect we gladly
welcome Mr.. Pennington's new idea and wish
him all the success he can attain.

The Troubles of tie King Of spain.

King Amadeus throne is built on quick
sand. But few days ago our dispatches
from Madrid gave an account OF stormy
sitting Of the Spanish Congress, where Car
lists and republicans denounced the new King
as usarper, the former proclaiming Don
Carlos as the rightful King or Spain and the
latter calling for the reinforcement Of ANA
deus and the establishment Of a republic based
on universal suffrage. Between the two the
weak, though well-meaning and amiable King,
has a very hard life Of it. His prospects for
q peaceful rule are darkening day by day.
Our dispatches to-day announce that Carlist
rising is imminent aud that the movement
has gained formidable dimensions In Andalusia
and Catalonia, two provinces well known for
their Carlist sympathes. Don Carlos, the Pre-
tender himself, is lingering about the frontier
Of Spain and directing the whole movement
On the other hand, the advisers of the King
are scarcely equal to the situation. Sadly
will Amadeus miss the strong arm Of Prim.
He alone could have crushed the movement
by bis personal influence or the persuasive

and expulsion Of the royal Jczcbei. Under
these circumstances we should not b. surprised
at a Sudden collapse Of tie present monarchy,
followed by Tie advent Of Carlist King, or,
what IS siill more probable, by the establish
merit Of a republican form OF government In
Spain.

The Dramatic Championship of the World
Another Contest.

AnOtuer lOntcN.
Now we shall have true gage of oratory-
a genuine test of the different qualities of
mouthing-a decisive settlement of the correc.
art of delineation. Mr. Pennington, one of
England's tragic heroes bets G., 900 that he
can whip the socks and buskins off any other
tragedian in her Majestys kingdom in define
ating Shakespeare. He proposes a fair stand
up fght-:no chloroform lodges or forty min
ute waits, hut a prompt tocing Of the scratch
and an honorable combat thence to the end.
Pennington is q man who has braved dangers
ere now. lie went in at Balaklava among the
Six Hundred, and came out again. He is not
afraid, therefore. When he talks he means
business. His money is ready to back his
words-his Shakspearian words-and he
wants no low comedy palavering from those
who would mouth and rant without putting up
the stakes. "Put up or shut up" Is his text
and in this case, where talking is TO decide the
wager, il is eminently appropriate.
There Ia agood deal of confidence felt in Pen
nington among the Londoners, we understand.
1t is limited that bets are freely offered by his
friends that he will knock Coburn-we mean
Barry Sullivan-out Of time in forty minutes,
and that he will ''chaw up" Billy Edwards-or,
rather, Mr.. Ryder-on the first round. THE
mixed condition Of the championships is very
confusing, and is likely to lead us into
mixed metaphors] However, it is said
that Penningtons friends feel confident
that he can demolish even Mr.. Dillon in
the long run, and that If his present
condition is unimpaired he can strut
and fret an hour satisfactorily with the
great Mr.. Phelps himself He has been
in training for some time. He has read
over every new commentary upon the divine
William that has appeared; and although we
should think that be would get the meaning OF

Another Day or the Dismal scenes In Pnris.
Another day has passed over and still the
reign of death and destruction holds sway in
Paris. The special dispatches to the HERALD
which we publish this morning reveal an
other chapter of dreadful occurrences. Fire
and sword, aud shot and shell, continue their
deadly and destructive work. In this dread
full struggle reports say that the forces of the
government have lost twelve hundred men
killed, with proportionate number in wounded;
on the other hand, the insurgents have suffered
terribly. More than fifty thousand dead bodies
lie unburied in the cellars and houses of the
city. These losses will enable the reader to
form some idea of the desperate nature of the
conflict between the contending forces. The
loose women of Paris, those debased and de-
bauc hed creatures, the very outcasts
Of society, have largely conduced to give
siren 9Th and vrulence to this unholy rising.
Knowing no shame, dead to all feeling,
to claim their attention, these miserable crea-
lures have unsexed themselves to aid a revo-
luton which had for its object the destruction
of every tie which renders life peaceful,
secure and happy. Few can picture to
themselves the dreadful scenes now being
enacted in the streets of Paris, where women
are carrying about their persons the petroleum
which serves to make many a stately struc-
ture blazing ruin, but must think that
these misguided women are possessed of
demon to assist in such terrible deeds. Men
and women thus give rein to their very worst
instincts and are led by leaders all the worse
because they are more intelligent. And it is
to these men and women that Paris has been
given prey; to the fury Of these wretches
has the venerable Archbishop Darboy and the
hostages confined with him been at mercy,
and to these Infatuated miscreants is the city
itself indebted for all the calamities which
have befallen it. Happily, however, this
terrible reign is drawing to q close and the
rebels are now driven to their last ditch at
Belleville. Here they are making their final
stand-a stand which cannot last long. Their
days are numbered. Even should some of
them escape, the despatch Of Jules Favre to the
French representatives abroad will surely not
be disregardcd by any government. In every
country as well as in Spain and Belgium, which
have already agreed to extradite those who
participated in the destruction of Paris and who
may seek or have already sought an asylum in
these countries, they will find closed doors and
cold greetings. The fires still rage in the
capital, the roar Of cannon still reverberates
through the streets, but the work is nearly
over and peace is not far distant now. When
peace does come the capital of France. black
in ruin as it is, will have reason to feel glad,
at least that it is rid Of a class of wretches
who ever kept the city in continual dread
Of scenes as bloody as those now taking place.
Paris will be free of these, but the price at
which her freedom has been bought is dreadful
to contemplate.

of this absurd and degrading system, or thing,
would disappear; but at present none but the
worst and most reckless class of men can be-
come editors and publishers. It is the free
press Of this Continent and Of England which
has prevented the spread of the heresy among
both peoples. and has preserved the purity of
the family relations and the comparative
integrity of the State and nation. Let the
press frown upon all those ''womens rights"
venticlcs and movements, and they will be
shortved indeed. Every such movement is
a development Of inidelity, and we see in the
Paris example what fall-fedged Communism
means. And if We inquire into the private
life and character of the leaders, both there
and here, we shall find them to be such as are
scarcely worthy of our imitation. Said the
Lord Jehovah to our mother Eve long
ago, ''Tby desire shall be toward thy
husband and he shall rule over thee" And
all along the ages this has been the order of
society, and 1t will continue to be until the
end of time, women's rights and sufragist
conventionists to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. We rejoice in our position on this great
question. We are unqualiiedly opposed to
every such disturbing element of social life,
and we shall continue to do all in our power to
destroy this beastly, Ishmaelitish form of inf
deity, whose hand is against every man, and
against which the hand of every good man and
woman in the land should be uplifted until it is
wholly cut off from our midst.
