POLITICAL ECONOMISTS HALT TO REASON.
s'The government standpoint in India is to
maintain, as long as may be possible, that it
is called upon to find food only for persons
earning wages. An which has been hitherto
done has been done undecisively and precap-
tionally, and don't know whether there will
be famine at ALL, were Sir George Camp
bells words to me on the 18th inst All
that is known he continued, lis that we
have the same preludes with which former
famines have come upon the people.
'Lord Northbrook does not intend to recede
from his hitherto expressed system of policy
It is curious to read two consecutive SEN
fences in the address of the Governor General
to the Council. The exports of food from
Bengal exceed, since the LIST of November.
1873, 90, 600 tons; while the government i'm
ported, till january %, 1874, more than
10000 tons Of rice from beyond the seas.
Rice is not SO hign in price as was antici-
pated.'''
sfLord Northbrook says that the Executive
Department has arranged for sufficiency of
food to last till May next, and the storing of a
large reserve to meet contingencies. The off,
cial calculations Of quantity are based on the
knowledge Of the demands which were made on
the government depots during the prevalence Of
famine in former times; but it seems doubt
full whether the supply will be adequate Just
at present, owing to the facts that during the
periods of the previous affections large num-
bers of persons died without asking for relief,
and that the districts which are just now suf-
fering are more remote, the means of trans
portation growing difficult, and, also, that
there exists want of food for cattle as well as
for the human beings
GLOOMY FoREBoDTNas OF CHASTITY CALAMITY.
MIR. Forbes concludes his report thus
"From what have seen since my arrival in
India have become convinced-frst that
neither the government nor the people can pre-
cisely describe the actual position or prognos-
ticate the future; second, that the govern
ment is most fully alive to its responsibility
that the measures which have been taken for
relief will fully cope with the difficulties of
the occasion; third, that the absence Of rail-
roads in the remote districts is mostly dreaded,
as the officials are without present means for
the avoidance of the obstacles thus created.
On the whole entertain most depressing
conviction of coming calamity, for I have
merely touched most momentous topic"

1t has been two years since Nine. Janauschek
appeared in this city. When she did so we were
called upon to assist at her debut In English drama
at the Academy. At that time she had not fairly
mastered the pronunciation OF English, and the
plays in which she appeared gave scope to the
more lurid and murky aspects OF her genius with
out many OF Its lighter or more pleasing tints.
The play offered last evening gave q large oppor-
tunity to q versatility which we were not aware
she possessed, and to which, accordingly,
we hasten to pay tribute. Her delnea-
ton also proved that she had become
as much at home in the pronunciation of English
as q foreigner VINO acquires 1t IN mature life can
ever hope to become. It is scarcely necessary to
refer at any length to the plot OF "Beak House"
as q means Of assisting the reader 20 more thor

drama are the remorse and penitence OF q

puts the family lawyer in possession Of a clew,
which is slowly and surely followed up, and the
wretched mother. These leading facts are pre-
the ~ the S 81 ether char
at Booths Theatre, and this is what it has now
acquired. great deal Of quiet acting is de-
mouuco III thc uehucatiou VI Lazy DeuOCk,
and IN this particular Nine. Janauschek
was remarkably excellent. She Is perfect mistress
OF the art Of expressing world Of meaning In
glance, motion OF the hand, the act of toying
with a fan. The role Is one Of seif-restrant, OF
long sustained compOsure under q terrible strain
with now and then burst Of passion when the
agonized woman Is left alone with the spectre of
her SIN and her remorse. Opposed to this charac.
ter Is that OF Hortense, the French maid, o woman
OF deep passions, quick impulse, with certain de-
gree OF seli-restralnt. but Of kind which takes
malicious pleasure In breaking bounds upon
occasion. Nine. Janauschek drew the distinction
between these two characters with q hand at once
delicate and strong. They were two distinct crea.
tions, consistent with themselves yet strongly
divergent from each other. Those externalities,
OF which voice. manner, accent, walk and personal
physical idiOsyncrasies consist, were main tanned
with absolute perfection, and the result was
great and very unusual triumph. The endorsement

The Meeting Ofthe Veterans Of the Wexi-

BY special invitation, we were present at
the Fitzhugh House last Friday evening, at
social gathering Of the veterans Of the Mexi-
can war. The occasion was the anniversary
Of the battle Of Palo Alto, on the eighth day Of
May, 1e47. The meeting was presided over
by Hoa John 8. Ford, Familiarity knoEn
as "Old Rip" The president was addressed
in the most complimentary terms ~ Gen.
Shelley, who took occasion 70 return thanks
to Hon. jeremiah Galvan, to whose courtesy
and liberality the veterans were entitled for
the magnificent banquet prepared for them.
Mr.. Galvan, in his modest but significant way,
returned his thanks for tie honor done him
II was true he had not been a soldier IN the
Mexican war, but he had been taken prisoner
by them and marched on foot 10 the City Of
Mexico, only to witness the triumphant entry
of the American army into the historic city Of
the Montezumas.
After Mr. Galvan had concluded his re-
marks, which were listened TO with syn1pa-
thethic attention by the audience. Various

which were responded % with equal zest by

was not forgotten, and his iplendid cheer was
US much admired as had bern lis cOnstancy on
the glorious fields Of Mexico
After those who lived and were present to
commemorate the glories Of the past, had been
mentioned, the memories % the illustriOus
dead were revived, and Gen. Robert E. Lee,
Albert Sidney JOHNSON, Gen. Sam Houston
and Ben McCulloch were toasted separately
and in silence.
At the close of these ceremonies, the vet
Grams, under the escort Of the Travis
Rifles, proceeded to the Hall Of Representa-
tives, to listen IN the historical address
from their comrade, Capt. JOsselyn. The
address was chaste, elegant, and abounded
in historical illusions, which showed how
thoroughly the speaker was posted on the sub
ject. II was listened to with marked atten-
ton by the audience, and at the close resO-
luton was introduced and unanimously
adopted, that he furnish copy for publica-
ton.
Gen. Shelley was called on and delivered
few brief and characteristic remarks, when
the assembly dispersed, much pleased with
the evenings entertainment.

We invite the attention OF those needing

Messrs. Wiggin, Smith & Simpson, of Hous-

they have machine shops, boiler works, foun-
dry, blacksmith shops, store house, etc. two
engines of thirty horsepower, capable of do
ing any character of work, from the smallest
job to the largest piece of machinery. This
lisa Texas enterprise, and our perple should
at least give them trial when they need any
thing in their line.
