Mrs. SartOrlS Is expected 10 Join hel
parents some time In January, and Is
To occupy the late Colonel Dents room
In the White House, which has been
newly fitted up In preparation for her
coming. Lieutenant Colonel Freder-
ick ID. Grant and wife (who are now
] temporarily sojourning ut the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York; will also
spend larle portion of their time
this winter at the White House.
In recent editorial on the subject
of devastating, the Chicago Tribune
said: Miss Cushman has preserved
her old traditions and habits, and has
been true to the spirit of the past.
Times have changed, people have
changed, but she has remained stead
fast, and to day she is the link between
the present and the past. Nearly all
of her contemporaries have retired
from the stage, or have made their
final exit from the world. Through all
these changes she has not only pre-
served her histrionic fame unsullied,
but has given the lie to the traducers
of her profession, as did Parepa on the
lyric stage, by her pure and unspotted
private life.
Lady Beaumont, of Carleton Tower,
Goole, is announced as another con-
vert to the Roman Catholic COM
munion. The Catholics, too, have
been making another sort of pilgrim
age to Canterbury cathedral, i'll Kent,
where Thomas q Beckett was killed.
The church authorities are called upon
by u portion of the press to put u stop
to such doings. They say the devotees
assembled on their knees the steps lead
ing to the shrine.
Lord Walter Campbell, brother-in-
law of the Princess Louise, went into
business few years ago, disdaining
inglorious ease, and still sticks to it.
But his lordship has changed the line.
After bidding, 1t may be, final adieu
to the tea trade, he now, it seems, pro-
poses to form the acquaintance of bears
and bulls, having been admitted u
member of the stock exchange.
Since last season there has been a
change in German ministers in WASH
ington. The present one, Baron
Schwartz Sanborn, is said to be very
handsome, bachelor, and wealthy.
What fortunate acquisition to Amer
ican society! What a furore there will
be among those of our girls who "per-
fectly dote on foreign husbandW A
live baron, bachelor, handsome, and
rich, and of German extraction!
The most significantutterances since
the elections are those of William ID.
Mann, the head devil of all the ring
rascality in Philadelphia for number
of years past. Mann now gives up the
ghost. He says that "it,looks as if the
republican party were utterly gone;
that the democrats have the organiza-
ton of the various states, and that all
the doubtful men and deserters from
the republicans will go over to them,
so that they will grow stronger and
stronger"
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, in
speech at Exeter, made a vigorous at
tack on the principle of sacerdotalism,
as involved in the practices of the
rtualists. What was it that had so
profoundly stirred up the minds of the
people of this country? Not, as he
thought, merely dresses and ceremOni-
al, pOstures, ETC., but the one great doc
trine implied in.them-the sacerdotal.
"Although,n said he, 81 delight to wor-
ship in the full beauty of holiness, that
although fully appreciate and delight
in magnificent architecture; though,
for my own part, a full, splendid and
elaborate ceremonial is great help to
me in my private prayer; yet that L
would far rather, for own part, have
the very barest possible barn that l
have ever seen, with the barest and
meanest ceremonial that ever existed
without this sacerdotal principle, than
the most magnificent cathedral and
the most splendid ceremonial with it."
The Paris correspondent says that a
strange, fiery, tempestuous creature,
calling herself Tallandeira, has just
burst upon the center of civilization
from the boulvard Bonne Nouvelle.
She is said to be an Algerian-her
father q Frenchman and her mother
an Arab-which one can well believe
who notices her unconventional bear
ing on the stage, and her wild-at
times almost savage-eHpression of
passion. She looks tropical, ton, with
her great, black, flashing crrS her
straight, sharp nose, her VI Up uous
mouth, her glittering white Teeth

which are very different from " hat we
imagine. lii the ordinary sense she
has nothing like art. She is not gG'reiul;
she is not subdued; she is not method
ical, nor in the least sustained. But
she is intensely, well nigh fearfully,
natural. Her emotional quality is
tremendous. When she represents
passion, it is no feigning. She is per-
meated, lighted up, all ablaze with it.
If you can conceive of a combination
of tigress and a pythoness, you will
have a picture of Tallandeira, as she
seems to your correspondent. She is
sort of Cleopatra woinan--so tender
at one moment, fierce at another
that her lover can scarcely
tell, when she throws her arms
about his neck, whether she in
tends to embrace or straDgle him. Her
voice is deep and melodious; but her
enuciatOH is often indistinct. She
does not understand how to manage
it. She conveys the impression of
genuine genius without training or
ri.
