STRANGE ROMANCE.
Debut of an EarI's Daughter in Lon

Debut of an EarI's Daughter I'm Lon.
don.
Correspondence of the New York Times.
We have had two debuts of tragic
actresses during the past week-that Of
Miss Give, at the Queens Theatre, as Con-
stance, in ''Kiug John." and that CT Miss
Edith Gray, at the Haymarket, as Juliet.
Miss Gray came out unknown, and sue
ceeded; SMiss Give came out herslded by
much preliminary putting, done in private
more than in public, and, in my opinion,
has failed.
Miss Edith Gray is only seventeen years
of age. Her father was an English Earl;
will not mention his name. Her mother, q
French woman, was dancer at Her Males
ty's Theatre. The old Earl had made a
will, leaving 10 his daughter a very large
fortune; but, like old earls on the stage, in
novels, and sometimes even in real life, he
omitted to sign it, and dying, left his child
penniless.
Such home as had hitherto been hers see
was forced to quit the moment it appeared
that she was lett without money. Thepoor
girl sought refuge In the house of kind
hearted lady, celebrated-Until not long ago
she left the stage-as an actress in pic
turesque, melodrsmatic parts. Nine. G.
took charge Of her, directed her attention to
the stage, and doubtless with such assist
ance as could not, under the circumstances,
fail to be forthcomiDg) superintended her
| artistic education. These incidents follow
ed rapidly one upon the other; and at the
present moment the graceful, intelligent,
accomplished, and, above all, the successful
'Juliet" is enti' led, no doubt, to sympathy,
but has no need whatever of pity.

CHOLERaIN EAST TENNESSEE.

Mr.. Robert NJ. Mckee writes to the Knox
vile Press and Herald from MorristoWD,
July %, as follows: 81 left Greenevllle
this morning at O'Clock, and thinking that
rumors of new cases of cholera there might
reach your city, write to-day, that there

town or surrounding country, SO far as L

Haunah Britton were very sick, from soGe
children's complaint, with some symptoms
of cholera. Mr.. J. i. r. Lyon is suffering
also from a very severe attack OF tux. All
were better this morning. These are the
only cases of sickness of any kind in the

to the town yet, but the prospec,s are clear

The Knoxville Chronicle of the 23d inst,
says: ''We learned yesterday from Mr.. E.
T. Oates, Of Heiskelps station, that very
violent cholera mOrbuS prevails at Duck

deaths had occurred. Though not pro

MINNEAPOLIS, July 24.-The Formers
Union, the agricultural organ of this State,
in its issue for this week, says: A com
mencement has been made on the great
wheat harvest of Minnesota for 1873, and a
most bountiful harvest is promised. From
q careful estimate we think this State can
export this year 3O,0OO,0O0 bushels, pro-
yiding we have our usually good weather
during harvest, and provided, further, the
crop escapes storms and is secured. The
Union further advises farmers to maket all
their wheat as soon as possible, for fear of
still lower prices.

AT Richmond, in Maine, last week died
Frederick Bates, an extremely old person.
There is dispute about his years, whether
he was 102 last March or los, but during
the war of 1872 he was exempted on ac-
count of his age from military duty. We
are told nothing about Mr.. Bates. except
that be was amoney-lender. End until with
in six months did his own figuring. Why
are misers and money-lenders always or
almost always old? We say sold miser''
naturally, as if longevity and usury were
inseparable. No painter ever depicted a
miser, except as wbite-he&ded and snowy
bearded, wrinkled and be-spectacled. Is it
because it takes great many years to turn
out a perfect old Gripes?

Fort Gary, July 24.-In the court room
to-day the point of law was argued on the
question of bail. Mr.. Royal, counsel for de-
ience, crowded Attorney General Clark too
close, and the latter made disgraceful ex-
hibition of Giscomfit ure. Turning sudden
ly from his desk, he threw spitoox into
ROYALS face, with the remark: "You are
dirty puppy" The Attorney General was
made to retract the insult Immediately
after. Friends of the prisoner have hopes
for a favorable decision, although it is
matter Of speculation. Clark and his min
ions are leaving nothing undOne which can
possibly deepen the indignities heaped upon
the Americans. All strangers are watched
with suspicion. The passions of the people
are appealed to in every manner. Proba'

Behind Time.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Hold on, Father Time, you are going too fast
Pray what is your terrible strait?
You must be afraid that your mistress or maid
VIII scold you for beng too late.
Hold on, you old spendthrift and answer me
this
Does Mother Time loiter about
To pick up your stitches, the best of your
aiches,
As fast as you ravel them out ?
Why couldn't you stop for an hour or two,
And give us a chance to take breath?
And not go at this pace, as il life were race
And YOU must be in at the death?
Those dear little minutes are tired, / know,
SO long and so steadily they've run
And the seconds-tick, tick, goes their swift.
double quick
Are wishing the drill was most done.
No matter how early or late | may toll,
No matter how high ! may climb,
The days will so on ere my duties are done,
For | can't get ahead of Id Time.
Then I'll not waste the moments by counting
the hours,
But III work and I'll play with a will
For how do | know but to chaos we'd go
If old Father Time should stand still?

Trick of n NpcrOmancer.

A pleasant-looking gentleman of
foreign appearance entered tobacco
nist's shop III one of the market towns
of South Durham, says the London
Grocer, and asked for good cigar.
The article having been furnished him,
he proceeded to apply it to his nose
with the air of Il cOnnolsseur, and then
to protest that it's flavor was most pecu-
liar, not to say offensive. The trades
man declared that the cigar :, as an ex-
cellent one; his visitor as stOutly MAIN
tanned that it was not, and that he was
so convinced of the fact that he at
once determined to try what the cigar
was really made of. Taking pen
knife from his pocket he began
to cut the weed in two,
and had no sooner began to do
SO than a quantity of feathers dropped
from the cigar The more he cut the
faster the feathers flew, until the whole
cigar was whitfield away, and the shop
looked more like an upholsterer's
than tobacconist's. Having given this
ocular and practical proof that he had
not remarked the peculiar flavor of the
cigar without reason, the foreign gen,
tleman took his departure, leaving the
shopkeeper utterly bewildered and the
possessor of quantity of feathers,
enough to stuff an ordinary cushion.
The customer was a con- uror.

An Awful Lonesome Man.

In the shanty which, in California;
early days, did duty as Office for the bank
ing, postal and express business of Wells,
Fargo & Co, in Marysvilie, there sat, on
Saturday evening, misanthropic and
detected looking individual, whose long
and unkenIpt hair and beard, cowhide
boots and rough dress bespoke the miner.
For over an hour he sat there the picture
of despair, with not a word or a look for
any one present. Miners came, left their
DUST" took their coin in return, and
changed greetings with all present,save the
one morose man whose apathy nothing, ii
seemed, could disturb. Finally there
entered a young miner with teaming
face, who, after completing his business
at the counter, turned to the agent in
charge and remarked that on the previous
Saturday he had some dealings with the
bank, and thought that some mistake had
been made Id his account
"Guess not" said the agent. "Our
cash was all right, and l reckon we keer
our books pretty straight"
But upon the request of the miner that
the account should be examined, the ac.
count was looked at, and it was found that
through clerical error, the miner hao
been paid just $50 too much.
"Thats just what / make it,D said the
latter, and here's your money" With
this he threw down the gold, and received
the thanks of the agent.
While the conversation was in progress
the misanthropic miner had preserved his
| look of utter indifference but when he saw
the money actually returned, his face
frightened up, he rose slowly, walked to-
ward the honest miner with slow and solid
step. and said

Liilller.

A newspaper published at Fort Jer-
Wis, the Tri-States Union, gives an as
tonishing description of the anatomical
peculiarities of Mr.. George Thomas,
now in that town, where he quite nat
urally has puzzled not only common
people but physicians and surgeons.
{" He can move his heart to any part of
his body" and, as is quite evident, can
easily place it in his mouth, if he only
takes it In his head to do SC. There IS
something peculiar about his heart, too,
for it is suspended by two cords in
stead Of one," and though the first be
of flesh, the second may, for all one can
tell, be cord of wood. He can stop
his pulse at wlll-probably by
refusing to eat of leguminous
vegetables, such as peas, beans, etc.
He has two sets of ribs, one of which
he can place over his abdomen--when
he stands on his head. He weighs
about 165 pounds" but this is probably
a mere pretence of his, us he may,
being so hollow, turn the scale at will
at any point from an ounce to ton,
and this is rendered more probable by
the fact that he has g. brother who,
though six feet three inches in height,
can make himself three feet three
perhaps by sitting on a low stool. Poor
Mr.. Thomas has TO pericardium, and
there is general lack of continuity
and consistency about hun, though the
hardness of his cheek stands out In
bold relief.

Two Sides of Life.

There is shady side of life,
And a sunny side as well,
And tits for everyone to say,
On which he'd choose to dwell;
For everyone unto himself
Commits grievous sin,
Who bars the blessed sunshine out,
And shuts the shadows in.
The clouds may wear their saddest robes,
The sun refuse to smile,
And sorrow, with its troop OF ills,
MAY threaten us the while;
But still the cheerful heart has power
A sunbeam to provide;
And only those whose souls are dark,
Dwell on LIES shady side.

THE GRIM OLD FIGHTING PARSOE.

Visitors to the Senate chamber or House
rarely leave it without having pointed out
to them the distinguished sons of Tennes-
see, who represent our State in Congress.
Brownlow and Maynard are names as
familiar among the masses North as here
in Tennessee.
Grace Greenwood, writing to the New
York Times, pays the following deserved
and eloquent tribute to Senator
Brownlow
Looking down from my place, near the re-
porter's gallery, Il always hover Peri-like, just
outside of that, caught sight, on Senatorial
desk, of the familiar shake of an attenuated
foot, and looking again, saw Mr.. Brownlow in
his seat, still utterly unchanged after the great
change which, several years ago, left him a
wreck in all but his keen intellect and infexible
will. There was the Same pallid and impassive
face, the same wasted, helpless, and tremulous
fgure-a figure which the waves of political
agitation seem to break against, and pass round,
but never move-which seems to have no reali-
ty about it, unless it be the power 10 oceupy,
till the live man comes. Yet there is something
grand in the never-say-die spirit of the grim,
old fighting parson of Tennessee.
