The time-worn anecdote of persons

The time-worn anecdote of person s
being so deceived by theatrical repre-
sentation as to believe it to be scene
of actual life was verified mt one of the
New York theaters the other night.
In the play, which portrayed the l'fe of
drunkard, the chief actor, when i'll
great destitution, exclaims "Alas,
alas! no one in this wide world will
give me even a crust of bread to eat. "
These words had hardly been pro
nounced by the actor before the audi
ence saw tall man arise in the par
quct, who, in voice trembling with
emotion, said: Gentlemen, | am a
poor man, but will give that man a
dollar"

A BEAUTIFUL BAIL ROOM ORNAMENT.
At the Dickens ball in San Francisco
recently, was beautiful fountain in
the center Of the room, with threads of
water playing necessarily through and
into II bed of Gala lilies. From a
pyramid of flowers which rose from the
center of the fountain, ran gas-pipe,
and the light from the center of this,
shining through great glass globe,
presented beautiful spectacle. AT the
base of the fountain, and completely
surrounding it, was profusiop of flow
ers i'll pots, which gave the whole the
appearance Of huge floral bed, with
streams running through it and falling
in gentle, fragrant spray over the
variegated mass.

Congress. That tcdy ordered an
investigation, saw that many Of
the charges mnde were true, and
one man was found in the Senate
TO appeal for justice TO an out.
ragged people. But all this passed
away. Congress adjourned and
Louisiana stiIl groantd. Yet the
unhappy citizens of that State
did not wholly lose heart. They
had a faint hope that in another
-lection-they might find relief
But even that hope has been DIS
appointed. A registration law was
passed by Kellogg'S Legislature,
which gives TO the Executive full
power to appoint S pervisors # e.
leciiouinail the State, withauthcri-
~ to add names TO the registry or
erase names from il. This indeed
did put al end to prospects for re-
lief FROM the burdens Of their
wrongs. There surely was no
hope Tor them in a new election;
and every appeal for protection
FROM the Government had l"iled
them.
Tie last and the only resort
was an appeal to arms, which was
mace kew days ago. Thercsultof
that last effort, 81 signal and SO
complete in the accomplishment
Of It's purpose, shows how feeble
was the power Of Kcllogg's gov
erntnent, a sltjrmioh in tire
streets of New Orleans laid il pow
crless, gained possession of every
State building in tlle city and in
anguratcd a new order Of affairs
in the State Government.
Such i,appears TO us, is an in :
partial statement OF the causes
which have urged on the present
troubles il Louisiana. While the
same impartiality mnst condemn
unreservcdiy the extraordinary
steps which lave been taken, it
cannot fail to accord the insur-
gents degrees ot excuse for wAet
must be construed as Az error.
10 openly defy the government of
tie United States is rebellion, how,
ever good The cause may te, ana
that must be pa. dawn 2; the
cost Of any sacrifice. The maies
! ty Of the law is above the lives
and the fortunes OF q few whom ii
was designed TO protect.
President Grant in recognizing
the kellogg government did an
questionabIy oppose ibe better
judgment IF oll ljheraI-mipded
men, who knew the facts. and
who arc we'll convinced that
Kellogg's government is founded
in usurpation, But that govern
mcnt once recognized must he pro-
tected, however unjust aud false
it may be. The President has
got bimself into a position which
more will envy, and he will find
little sympathy in his work, for
he prepared its coming in defiance
of the appeals and honest reason
ing Of sincere aud earnest men
in his own party.
The right of revolution is one
to be exercised only in the great
est Of emergencies, and only finds
justification when it succeeds
The Louisiana insurgents must
have known that they could mol
succeed when errayiug themselves
against the whole Federal govern
ment. For these reasons their
extraordinary course must be con.
demned ,even-by those who believe
that their claims 10 power are just

store, in New Hope, was broken into ON last
Saturday night and robbed of large lot of
groceries. The burglars pried window shut
ter open, took out pane of glass, removed
the fastening, and entered through the raised
window. They stole a half-barrel of sugar,
seven or eight hams, lot OF chewing tobac-
co, coffee, &C., amounting to about S7s. They
had evidently closed the window shutter after
entering, and struck light. On Sunday
morning, sugar was found scattered along the
streets, but it could not be traced to any par
ticular house. The premises of several per-
sons have been searched but no clue has yet
been obtained tothe missing goods. Mr.. Bart

Carter always carries with him a fund of

accepted an invitation to sing in Middlesex

THE CONTINENTAL, or HARTFORD
Mr. S. G. Lands, the agent of the above life
cess during the time he has been connected
with it. A large number of our citizens are
insured in it, and the number is constantly en-
larging. The Continental Of Hartford, is
reliable company, and is carefully conducted.
1t resorts to none of the catch-penny plans OF
securing insurance risks that some do. It's
business is so conducted that its policyholders
tiiay always feel safe in insuring in 1t. The
true test of a company's reliability is in the
proportion of assets to the amount insured,
and not to the amount of business it does
without reference to these.
