tut so to describe what / actually wrote
would be simply absurd"
To this from the New York Times OF
thetw nty.sixth uItimo: lex Governor
Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, and General
Banks, Of Massachusetts, have ceased 10
wander among the unWsshed, and VIII
throw all their strength fer Hayes aud
Wheeler" the BsllefOnte Wdtchnadn,
printed where Mr.. Curtin resides, replies:
HE explicitly declares himself for Til
den and Hendricks, and intends to
stump the State of Indiana for the De-
mOcracy. This we know to be true, for
we have it from his own mouth. That
is where he stand'." Next!
There died last month in England M
Nathan David Garrick, grest-ereat
nephew of the renowned actor, who died
1873. He was an accomplished, schol-
arly man, of very retired habits. and is
known to have left memoranda likely
to throw interesting light on his re'a-
tiye's life. He has left the portrait Of
the great player, by I)ffsny, 10 the Ma
tionaI portrait gallery. Toe Garricks
are OF the many families-LabOucbere
Lefevres, etc.,-WhO, emigfatiDg to
England in consequence OF the edict OF
Nantes, rose to fame in their land Of
refuge. Their name was Origally De Ia
Garrique, and the actors father charged
it to Garrick. Tne De IL GRrTiques
were highly connected in France. Gar.
Tiek's father was captain iii the Eng
lish army, and during his residence at
LichfieId sent bis son to Samuel john
sons academy in that city.
In the library Of the College Of New
Jersey there is an "Slumni alcove,"
h., q tDe
officers of the institution are preserved.
The collection is exceedingly incoLl-
plete, ard yet, as the Philadelphia
LedGer shove, the list contains the
names of two hundred aud sixty gu
th0ls, including thirty professors, eleven
presidents OF American colleges, nine
Judges Of the supreme court of the United
States and several States, twenty. three
senators and representatives in congress,
six cabinet officers eight fOreigen repre-
ssntatives, two Vice-Presidents, one
President, and four bishops of the Pro-
testaut Episcopal church. Among these
authors, the fit in the civil rank is
James Madison. The title of President
Edwsrd's works fill three pages Of the
catalogue, and DR.. WitherspoOn and
DIR. MCosh have four pages between
them.
The "working politicians OF the
eighth Massachusetts, district are good
deal troubled over the talk about run
ming Mr. James Russell Lowell for con.
gress. They respect him highly, but
fesr he is not "prscticsW enough. The
Boston Journal seems to dispose Of that
objection pretty thoroughly when it
| says: awe should like to see any con-
greSsional debate or campaign speech
which exhibits tenth part az much
practical wit and wisdom IS the Big
| low Papers, Professor Lowell is man
| of keen sagscity and a good understand
ing OF politics, and would repre- sent the
eighth district with great credit. When
| men of his caGber are willing to enter
| political life, it is pity not to give
them a good opportunity. At least, IL is
| not worth while to cry them down in
advance on the ground that they are not
| practical men. There are lots OF pracli'
cal men now in congress who could be
| spared from it without loss"
Court opened at midnight, sharp.
| Judge Lynch sent his messengers to the
Canyon City jail, and the prisoners, two
Mexicans, were brought to the bar.
What had they II say for themselves?
| Well, they had done it, but woman
hal put them up to it. She had told
! them that the Oregon horse dealer had
large amount of money in his belt.
| He hired them to 60 with him on his
trip, and the night after they left Can
| yon City they had murdered MIN while
| ne WIS a1ieep, smashing in his skull
| with large stone. Each accused the
other of striking the fatal blow. Judge
| Lynch found blood stains on the cloth
| ing of each, and abruptly sentenced
| them to be hanged at once. One of
| them was strung up under bridge with
q pair of leather lines. The other, after
q desperate attempt to escape, was
| hanged to tree in the Mexican quarter
If the town. The rial and execution
occupied scarcely an hour, and the dock
| ct having been cleared, the court ad-
journed. Justice in Canyon City may
be blind, but it can scarcely be said to
have game les.
A London letter thus describes Mr..
Robert Buchsnau's new play Of COriNne:
The story Of COTi1l9le turns upon the
fate of an actress in the time just before
and during the great French revolution,
At 9 period when Mr.. Buchanan regards
the ban of church and society es being
yet SO heavy upon members Of that pro-
fessiOn that young uobleman could be
the very altar, il that bride was an act
ress. In that way 'tCOrinne" is parted
from the "COunt de CalvadOr," to whom
che he's been secretly married. TIE
agent who secretly brings about this re-
suit is the "Abbe de LarOse," sleek
priest, whose motive is that "CoriDne"
has scorned his dishOnOrabe proposals.
The incident gradually leads up to the
revolution, of which it is made one Of
the occasions, "COrinne's" brother being
disciple of Ma-at. Marat is introduced
as character, meant to be cynical, but
sometimes guilty of buffoOnery. When
the revolutions are in power, "Clr-
inne's" aristC3Tatic husband, who had
left her side at the order OF the church,
is brought Up for ser' ance; but after the
sentence had been pronounced the act.

he has tortured her. Or course she is
really trying - save him; and although
the device seems rather thin to deceive
the pcOple, she succeeds. When they
