COuIdock,s "reminiscences.

Mr.. G. w. Couldock, one of the finest
representatives of the old school of actors,
was interviewed in st. Louis the other day
by Journal reporter, and this is what he
said about two well-llnOwn ''StarS."
swell, there was ForreSt-a splendid
actor, sir, hard student, man with faults,
yet great actor. He was very disagreed
BILE in private life. He was misanthrOpic,
was always looking on the dark side of
things. | believe he took kind of pleas
ure in that. lie might have led life of
happiness, yet his was one of misery. He
always walked on the shady side of the
street. Yes, he had mannerisms. All great
men have mannerisms. If | had known For
rest from youth as knew Macready should
have liked him better. l would have be-
come better accustomedto his mannerisms.
Now, knew Macready from boyhood, and
had seen him so often that did not notice
his peculiarities, as most people did. For
rests were more apparent to me. Forrest
has an agent, sort of business manager.
and he was the laughing stock of everybody.
He initiated Forrest in every way, brushed
his hair like him, wore the same kind of
collar, assumed his brlsque manner, and
seemed to take pride in looking and act
ing as much like Forrest as possible. Why,
sir, he used to precede Forrest to his room,
bow him in, take his hat, flatter and hunor
his vanity in every way. But the most
pleasant thing Of it all was that when For
rest died, he didn't leave cent to his OBJ
Sequious agentn' Mr.. COuldock laughed
heartily.
''Did you ever play with SOthern"
''Oh, yes. In 1859, Just after that terri
bic panic, was playing in New York city
with Laura Keene. Sothern was with us.
One day Miss Keene handed me the new
play 1.-The American Cousin" L was as
signed the part of Abel Murcott. 1t was
then prominent part, had not been cut
down to what it now is. | took the play
and read it. l considered it a Yankee
farce, and said wouldn't play in n. Soth-
eTn came Storming into my room and said
he wouldn't play Dundreary. We declared
we'd throw up our engagements. Then
Miss Keene came about to pacify us and
begged us not to leave her. She said we
could change the parts to suit ourselves.
She would not hear to our throwing ZIP
our engagements. The play was to run
only week and she thought it would be
a hit. Finally we yielded. Well, when
Sothern came upon the stage as Dun
dreaTy for the first time, he happened to
Sneeze and the audience laughed So he
introduced sneezing into his part. Alright
or two afterwards he happened to trip over
a piece of carpeting as he was coming up
on the stage, and the audience laughed. So
he introduced the skip that causes so much
meTiment. Again, he forgot his part one
evening and stammered. The people roar
ed with laughter. After that Dundrealy
was sufferer. He stumbled into the
very eccentricities that have made his for
tune. I'm glad he's doing so well. You
know it's mark of genius to avail ones
self Of an opportunity when that opportIln-
ity presents itself. That's the secret of
friend Sothern's success"

Personal.

Judge James ID. Porter. ir., of West Ten
nesSee and Hon. c. NJ. McGhee of Knox
Vile are in tn city.
Judge Burton was here yesterday looking
after his eases in the Supreme Court.
Judge Freeman Of the Supreme benci
passed through yesterday en- route for hi:
home in West Tennessee. He says thai
the Supreme Court which has been in SEES
sion at Knoxville has adjourned.
"a Republican" mailing from BlOunt
county, writes from Nashville to the KROr-
raie Chronicle as follows:
Il said had visited the penitentiary;
YES, and | must confess that l have never
seen that institution give SO much evidence
of efficient management,asn now. Everything
is scrupuloIsly clean, all the conyicts are
comfortably clothed. well fed, and humane
ly governed, while, instead of being a
heavy annual expense TO the State. as it
has heretofore been. it is now the source of
thirty thousand dollars yearly revenue.
MY business in the city, however, being
such as to require it, have spent much of
both yesterday and to-day in the Office of
the Comptroller, and do not hesitate in
saying that have no where met a more
thoroughly competent officer. or a more
whole-souled and genial gentleman than
the present incumbent of that responsible
position. John c. Burch. am aware that
in these times of general mistrust and
much partisan rancor-Of endless party
examinations and determinations, it is not
easy TO see anything meritOrious in a po-
litical opponent, and often still harder to
muster the moral courage necessary to adj
init it, yet l must cOncede that l am fully
convinced that Col. Burch is making man
full effort for the promotion Of the best in
terest of the whole State without regard to
party, creed or clique"

The RaafiSf Fair

There was an excellent attendance at the
Baptist Fair during the day yesterday, and
last night. The tableauX in the evening
passed off very successfully and were hearth,
" applauded. The ladies having charge of
the various tables were literally patronized;
the postoffice, with Mrs. Alfred Hicks, Jr..
as postmistreSs, and Mrs. C.. II. Eastman
as assistant, did a rushing business; Miss
Porter Uollins and Miss Susie Jones secur-
ed many subscribers for that
spicy publication the Icy Ledf;
Miss Sallie Duncan accumulated
much wealth by dispensing the mild,
but stimulating lemonade to the thirsty
multitude; Miss Lulie McCrory led many
separate and distinct individuals to believe
that he or she would certainly secure either
the diamond, or the gold ring, which are
hidden away in two immense cakes, adding
numerous names to her little book in con-
sequence thereof; Miss Morton, Miss Alice
Horton, Miss Frank Duncan and Miss
Anna Porter distributed many flowers and
other articeS-tOr a consideration, and
Miss Lucy Eastman took charge of the lucre
the above named ladies (and Others too
numerous to mention) received, properly
entering the same in a nice book which
was purchased expressly for that purpose
while Miss Hattie GleayeS exercised a jul
dicious and watchful supervision over the
movements of the others.
Copies of ley LeGtwere in great demand,
and from present appearances, the paper
will form very important feature OF the
Fair. The addresses (whew. what a wOrd)
announces that they have secured the pub
fishing of the letter list, and that its publ
cation will commence with the issue of
this evening. The original story "A
Nights Adventure written for the Try
Leaf by a Nashville lady, is continued and
grows in interest; well written
description of the hop given by the CmlebS
Tuesday night, Is given; list OF names Of
contributors and the articles contributed, is
published, and many new advertisements
are noticed. The inside pages Of the pa
per are filled with fresh, interesting selec-
tions, leading one to suppose they were
clipped with a pair Of well worn and expert
enccd scissors.
There can now be no doubt of the finan-
cial success of the fair, and we trust our
citizens will continue their liberal patron
age of this very pleasant entertainment.
The tableauX to be exhibited tonight
consist of the following:
l. Preparing Moses for the fair.
,. Contrary winds.
). Shooting a cherry.
1. Columbus before the Court Of Ferdi
nand and Isabella.

Stabbed.

a party assembled at Chenault's, on
College street, Thursday night, to partake
of a rabbit haSh," During the evening
Mr.. Watson made an assault upon Mr..
Cover. Officers Bolton and Mckinney
entered the saloon, and Bolton Immediately
attempted to separate the combattantS,
when he was stabbed in the back by Wat
son With clasp knife, the cut being in
tlicted between the right shoulder blade and
the spinal column. The wounded man
called to his partner that he was cut, and
Watson was at once arrested by Mckinney.
He was taken before Judge Duling yes
terday morning, and was fined ten dollars
on the charge of assault and battery and
fifty dollars on the charge of assault with a
knife. lie was also taken before Justice
Everett for committing a- breach of the
peace, but he gave bonds for $500 and was
released.

The Convention Of Judges.

Col. Cole, President of the Nashville,
| Chattanooga and st. Louis Railroad, and
| Col. McGhee, Vice President of the East
| Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad,
have manifested their interest in the meet
| ing of the Judges which is to be held on
the 18th January, by calling yesterday on
the Comptroller and informing him that all
Judges and District Attorneys who attend
ed that meeting, would, upon his certificate,
be returned free over their lines of railway.
1t is probable that the other lines of rail-
roads leading to this place will agree to the
same arrangement.
1t is gratifying to see the interest which
is being taken in this subject. One of the
leading citizens of the State called at the
Capitol to see as a matter of curiosity the
four bills of cost, aggregating over $1,000,
exclusive of jail fees, of which mention
was made in the UNION AND AMERICAN a
few days since. Upon this subject the
Chattanooga Commercial says:
The proposed convention of Judges and
prosecuting attorneys, to be held in Nash
Vile on the 18th Of January, to devise
means to reduce the cost of State proSecu-
tions, meets with favor from all quarters.
Many Of the Judges and clerks have written
letters to the Comptroller, recognizing the
necessity Of doing something, and warmly
indorsing the proposed effort in that direc-
ton. OF course it is not expected that
such radical reforms as are called for can
be brought about except by legislation, but
this convention may be able in many ways
to lessen the evil, and to their deliberations
we may look for suggestions as to the leg
isation that will be needed. Under the
present mode Of doing things, the cost of
prosecuting and Furnishing criminals is UNI
reasonably, not to say appallingly large.
More is expended in Davidson county for
this purpose than for maintaining public
schOols,and we suSpectthe case of Hamilton
county, upon examination, will prove
even worse than that of Davidson. The
evil may be greater in some portions of
the State than others, but at best, it is a
very great one, calling loudly for reform.
The EpOrUUe Chronicle says:
Comptroller Burch has been correspond
ing with the judicial officers of the State,
proposing a convention of Judges to con-
slider the matter of costs accommodating
against the State in the courts. This is a
subject in which the people of Tennessee
may well feel interested. They have paid
out more money in this way with less ben
eft than in any other item of public cx-
penditwes. 1t is the result of some cor
ruption, and great deal Of criminal neg
ligence on the part of officers.
