The Tribune Editor~t,,n

Vice President COlfax, who returned from
New York yesterday, states, in answer to numer-
Gus inquiries, that the matter OF the Tribune
editorshi. is still under consideration, nothing
having been decided yet on either side. We
hear it reported that the hitch in the arrange
ment is caused by the ten shares of stock held
by Mr. Greeleyis daughters, which, SO far, have
not been voted in favor of Mr.. Sinclair's project
for bringing the Tribune back to straighout re-
pubiicsnism through the editorshsp of Mr.. Col
tax. The tone of an editorial i'm to-day,s Tri-
Wne (referred to in a New York telegram else
where shows, however, that the paper is tackiny
towards the republican lines.

when EdNin Forrest was playing in Wash
ihston tSo Years aga, "a statement appeared in one
VI The papers OF this city to the effect that that
ensaseIDt nj would forever close his connection
With TIE stage. Mr.. Forrest was greatly annoy-
50 at this statement, and Caused a denial to he
printed which set forth that he intended 10 fol-
low Ills profession as long as he lived. In pri-
'ate Conversation he said: ''Actins is with me
not only passion, but An absolute physical ne
cessity. 1 hate to acknowledge that 1 am adj
vanced in years, for that would be almost euui-
vslent to saying that my acting has deteriorated.
The fact remains, however, that I am old, and
that in playing frequently suffer the torments
OF the damned with rheumatic pains. / feel
that require constant mental and physics Al ex-
sTcise, aud that if had nothing whatever TO
occupy my attention, would sink down into
second chiidishness and mere oblivion and
drop OF suddenly OF spoplexy or some kindred
disease 10 personal friend in this city, who
asked him II he was about to retire from the
stage, he said in his deep bass voice: Do the
American people desire me to retire from the
stage Upon being answered in the negative,
he expressed his intention Of remaining upon
the stage, and closed with the quotation from
Macbeth,
Blow winds, come wrack,
For will die with harness on nv back"
TIE fact that he had evidently been exercis-
ing with dumb bells just previous to the sadden
attack Which ended An his death, shows that he
appreciated the value OF regular physical exer-
ton a. d promoter of longevity.
