The Baby at the Theatre.

She brought the darling with her to see the
play. Her entire devotion to the active infant
and total Indifference to observation proclaimed
her its mother. She tickled the baby under
the chin till it crowed again. She seized its
foot and shook it till the infant suffocated it.
self with delight. This had bad effect, for
when the babe recovered its wind it yelled with
fright. Then such kissing and dangling. 1t
was tossed ard playfully shaken, and grinned
at, and chirruped to until it began another
Alarming laugh. An artificial rose in the ma
ternal bonnet caught the infantile eye, aud the
delighted mamma suffered her offspring to bob
weakly up and down on its Timber legs, and
jahber earnestly at the floral ornament. Peo-
Pile in the vicinity grew nervous. Such lively
infant was sure to make things dsagreeable be-
fore the evening was over. Several young men
got up and changed their seats to the other
side of the theatre. Gentlemen icontracted
their bows, and unmarried ladies assumed fixed
smiles of unnatural sweetness as they cast
their fine eyes toward the playful infant and
its proud and happy mother. The lights were
turned up and out bulged the infants eyes;
while its hand, with the tiny fingers working,
stretched convulsively toward the glitterly gas
jets ON the other side of the auditorium. The
orchestra began with a crash. The baby fell
upon its back in the maternal lap and set up
a shrek SO loud that the old German doing a
little solo on the cornet between crashes had
his sound quite drowned. 1t was noticed that
when it came to the bass drum mans turn to
chime in, he did so with Numbering vgor
that would have covered the screeches of
founding hospital. Baby got used to it, and
when the cuItain rang up sat in a state of stu
pefaction, staring at the actors. An amiable
old gentleman in eyeglasses and white vest,
sitting Immediately in front of the baby, wear
led by the play, and in the most grandfatherly
manner possible, turned and, poking fat fore
finger into the infants ribs loosely checked his
tongue. The consequence of this advance was
that, just as yonng gentleman on the stage,
who was on his knee before a young lady
with averted head, remarked in an i'm
passioned manner, "And, Edith, dar-
ling, should heaven bless our union and give
us"-baby gave howl of supernatural loud
ness. The confused and mortified old gentl-
man blew his pose with prodgious vigor,
straight before him with a very red face. The
young gentleman on the stage was startled out
of hfs speech, and the young lady, overcome
with emotion, stuffed her handkerchief into
her mouth Every man in the house scowed
at the mother, who seemed more calmly de-
lighted with her darling than ever, and made
loving faces at it for full five minutes. She
was really and truly unconscious that she and
her pet annoyed any one, and throughout the
whole evening smiled serenely and looked upon
the infants screams and kicks as marks of a
precocity which must excite the admirati on of
the pubhc.-Sdt Lake Herald

Current Notes.

Either Henry Wilson was a statesman, or
else the country has got along without states
men through the most critical period of its
eXistence.-B0ston Journal.
We would just like to know, you know,
whether an overwhelmingly Democratic
Congress proposes to let the Radical New
York Tribune and Herald, and the semi
Radical New York World, persuade il that
the carcasses of Sam Randall and Mike Kerr
contain all the Speaker timber of hemis-
phere.- e.-Raleigh Sentinel.
The Republicans of Indiana have decided
to hold their State Convention on Feb.
%, when they will nominate candidates for
Governor and other State officers, and four
Judges of the Supreme Court, and will choose
Is Presidential Electors, and delegates to the
National Republican Convention. Senator
Morton is very likely to secure the adoption
of a resolution in favor of his nomination for
the Presidency. Gen. Benjamin Harrison is
thought to have the inside track for the nomi-
nation for Governor. His competitors are
the present Lieut.. Gov. Leonidas J. Sexton
and Gen. Thomas Browne.
The Democratic party has received good
deal of valuable advice from the Baltimore
Gazette within the past six months, which it
has studiously refrained from following. Here
is another piece from the same source:
'There is a too evident tendency in the DEM
ocratic press to urge investigation as the end
and aim of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives. This is all wrong. Congress has
other work than to resolve itself into a
smelling committee of the whole on the rot
tenness of the Union. The Democratic ina
jority must. put in practice the protracted
preachings of honesty aud economy which
the country has heard from the small Demo-
cratic corner of the House for the last fifteen
years. In short, the Democratic Congress
this winter is expected to make the Demo
cratic platform of 1872 good for 1876 by hon.
oring its professions. Thorough investiga-
tion must be instituted, of course, but that
is not enough"
There is an unmistakable revolt against
these funeral pageants that wind their way
from city to city and prolong the obsequies
of public man until careless and capri
cious public weary OF the mention of his
name in the newspapers. 1t seems like an
affront to genuine grief to make dead states
man the focus of staring crowds and with
hold his worn-out body from the resting
place which belongs 10 it. There is too
much unsuccessful striving after display, too
little simplicity and sincerity, too much local
and official vanity, too little genuine appre-
citation and feeling, about these mournful pro-
cessiols not to cause one to feel that this is
treating the dead with indignity rather than
with honor. Those who would respect
mans privacy when alive ought not to insult
it when dead. A man has right to be left
alone in his coffin-his last abode. The state
which claims him can take him to herself
and sorrow alone. States and communities
which reverence him for his services and his
goodness can give appropriate expression to
their feelings in memorial meetings and the
like. But, as for the poor clay, let that go
to its long home.-N. Y, Tribune,

The BOydell Shakespeare.

The new edition of Shakespeare, known as
the cabinet Boydell edition, published by Msssrs.
Gibbie and Barrie, Philadelphia, is now being
brought to the notice of our citizens. The
merits of the edition are striking. The text Is
that of Malone, the notes are at the foot of the
page, the type used is the beautiful, round and
clear-faced 'modern old style BREWER" The
work is embellished with series Of nearly two
hundred steel engravings, each illustration cop
led from the Boydell paintings executed by SO
eminent artists as Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Opie, Angelica Kaufman and njamin West.
In addition to these nearly two hundred wood
illustrations, chiefly of localities, are furnished.
The paper for the engravings is superfne
plate, for the text soft-cream-tint Of the best
quality. The first volume. now ready, con-
tains a life of Shakespeare, DIR. Johnson's
preface to the edition of 1793 The Tempest,
and The Two Gentleman of Verona. The
work is furnished in parts, forty in number, or
in volumes, fifteen in Lumber. The following
is the opinion expressed Of it by one of our
best known men of letters:
PORTLAND, Nov. 20. 1876.
A great enterprise, aud one worthy OF gen
eral encouragement. Messrs. Gibbie and Bar
rie of Philadelphia are bringing out beauti-
ful, and m uch needed, complete, and un-
abridged cabinet Shakespeare" with the
celebrated 'Boydell Illustrations" containing
nearly four hundred steel and wood engravings.
The type and paper are luxurious, and beau
tiful and the engravings masterly.
We are to have also, to begin with, life OF
Shakespeare" with half dozen portraits,
views of the "Shakespearian cottage, the
"Globe Theatre" and other hitherto unattain-
able objects of interest.
And then it embodies DIR. Johnson's elabor-
ate preface, and the dOings of Mr.. Stevens in
179S.
The editor is a. j. Valpy, A. NJ, Fellow of
Pembroke College, Oxford, and the standard
text of Malone is strictly adhered to.
1t will be completed in fifteen monthly
bound volumes, at $1.75 each, and will be sold
to subscribers only.
All things considered and judged by the
initial specimens before US, we should say
without qualification, that the work is Just
what we all need for home handling, being
trustworthy, compact, and available in many
new ways, the notes for example, being at the
bottom of each page, and the history and ar
gument preceding the play in every case.
The agent, Mr.. Bugbee, is now here, and
prepared to answer all questions; meanwhile
we do most heartily commend the work to
our fathers and mothers, to our public and pri-
vate libraries, to our schools and to our teach.

What is EXDected,

1t is hopeless to expect the Democratic ma
tional House to turn its attention to the ma.
tional interests or to decide upon a policy un-
til the edge of the Democratic office.hunger
is dulled. Like that other soldier of fortune,
Dugald Dalgetty, the Democracy devours all
the food within reach before it enters upon
campaign. Like him also it has serious
doubts in regard TO getting another meal, and
so prepares itself as we'll as it can for long
fast. Unfortunately for it the offices at its dis
posal will so a very little way toward satisfy
ing its hunger. But they will at least blunt
it. The chief dish is the speakership. For
this three promising Democrats are opening
their mouths. Mr.. Wood has withdrawn,
and will cast his influence for Mr.. Randall.
In return he is to have the chairmanship of
the Ways and Means in case of Mr.. Ran
dalPs success. Mr.. Cox stands very little
chance, and it is thought that his strength
will be thrown for Mr.. Kerr. He looks for
the same reward as Mr.. Wood. The contest
is between Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Kerr, the
East and the West. The balance of power is
with the South, and the South will follow
the lead of Mr.. Lamar. So we shall see an
ex-Confederate officer debating to the nation
al House and choosing its Speaker. After he
has made his decision there will be many
other offices to fill, and very many candidates
to choose from.
1t will be a relief to all when the spos
business is settled, AMI the House turns its
attention to legislation. 1t has much to do,
and the country will brook no unnecessary
delay. The people demand that the finances
shall receive immediate attention, and that
our currency shall be at once placed upon a
sound basis. As soon as this task is dis
posed of attention may be turned to other
matters. But the currency question is the
all-important one. Upon it no shuffiing nor
evasion will be allowed. Congress will have
to meet the matter fairly. The question can
not be put aside. 1t demands attention, and
will not bear dallyng with. A great respon-
sibility rests with the majority in the House.
The Democrats can no longer employ them
selves in obstructing and criticising The
country is willing to give them reasonable
time in which TO divide the spoils, but as
soon as that job is finished it requires that
something should be done in regard to the
finances. The Presidents message will fur
nish matter for action.

correspondent of the New York World, de-
clares that the late activity in his depart

our navy in condition to protect our inter-

design whatever of any aggressive movement,
and everything which has been done was re-

he was always kind to the Democrats, and

The absurd report that complications of a

THE New York Tribune says that the Re-
publican party showed the true spirit of re-
form in the exposure of the whiskey frauds,
1t remarks that it cannot be said that the
party has shown the least sympathy for the
participants in these crimes, or made the
slightest effort to shield them or to embarrass
Secretary Bristow. In its opinion it is un-
questionable that the party will gain by the
exposure, and that the credit is greater be-
cause the guilty persons were peculiarly in
fuential and prominent in the Republican
ranks. 1t adds: ''The Republicans may justly
claim that they alone have pushed reform
OF the public service even to the breaking
of some rings by which their party and theirs
only was supplied with funds, the dishonor-
ing Of some leaders and organs of their party,
and the punishment. of offenders who were
influential in their own councils. For,
though the Tammany Ring was broken by
two Democrats, Tilden and O'Conor, the
most efficient support they had came from
the other party, and the Canal Ring, though
broken by Democrat, embraced Republi-
cans as well as Democrats. The Whiskey
Ring, on the other hand, was corrupt COM
binaton of officials and politicians exclu-
sively Republican, and it was broken up by a
Republican Administration, the Republican
party throughout the country applauding."
