A CLEVER actress of Walacks Theatre,

Kemble to task for saying of acting as bus-
ness, ga business which is incessant excite
ment and Fictitious emotion seems to me un-
worthy of a man, and business which is pub
lie exhibition unworthy of woman" The
answer to Mrs. Kembe, as given In the
smart reply referred to, is that "public ex-
hibition" can become unworthy only by its
mode; that there is no business whether in
shop or office, which woman can engage in,
that does not require public exhibition of
some degree; that Society" which has be-
come almost pursuit, is essentially public
exhibition, nine-tenths of the ladies and gen.
tlemen one meets at receptions, weddings,
balls, etc., being strangers. Yet "What true
lover or husband upon returning home from
the society plays is not proud to remember
how charmingly the woman Of his heart
looked and how she pleased the throng?'

THE statement made by Mr.. Randall in
the House that the Democrats have reduced
government expenses $3O,OOO,OOO. was met
and It's falseness thoroughly exposed by Mr..
Foster. That gentleman, a member of the
committee on appropriations, reviewed the
action of the House in a convincing speech,
going over the various appropriation bills and
proving. .conclusively that the actual reductions
are only about ten millions, the balance being
simply the postponement of appropriations
which must be made in the future. Ard
considerable portion of the ten millions of re-
ductions is obtained by crippling the govern
ment machinery, entailing Inconvenience aud
loss upon the people. Mr. Foster truthfully
remarked that 'Never in history have cur
rent facts been distorted as they are In this
matter by our Democratic friends. Never
was deception prac:ised to such an extent as
now" He shows that when the books were
closed on the 3Oth of June, 1876, they showed
au actual reduction for the fiscal year of more
shan sixteen millions effected by the Repub-
lican Congress. This is the actual test of the
years work. 1t will be time enough to
judge of the work accomplished by the pres
ent Congress when the current year ends.
the Both of next June. Mr.. Foster said he
should be gratified if the present House made
as good showing as the last, namely re-
duction of $16,OC0,000. 1t is worthy of nc
tice that neither Mr.. Randall nor any of his
associates dared dispute the accuracy of Mr..
Fosters figures.

The last session of Congress was not only
the most imbecile and useless, but II came
very near to being the longest on rcord, there
having been only three longer ones. The
Springfield Republican gives this account Of
them: "In 1850, the debate on the Missouri
Compromise delayed things so seriously that
the adjournment didn't fall like a poultice--
to borrow DR.. Holiness professional smile
until Sept, 80. In 1855, Congress sat till
Aug. 3O-the delay in this case being caused
by the protracted wrangle over the Speaker
ship at the beginning of the session, an cpl
sode which Gen. Banks has the best reasons
for remembering. since it ended in his eieya-
tlon to the chair. The XLth Congress
ll866-67) sat straight through to watch ANDY
johnson. With this exception, the present
session is the longest in 20 years."

The title, "Fire and Flame" Is intended to
symbolic the respective emotional natures of
the hero and heroine, who, Notwithstanding
what is expected of them. might with equal
propriety be called "Ice and Water" as they
are OF the cool, Intellectual order. and their

Delng an excellent novel and exceedingly well
written. The arrangements of plot and incident
Is effective and well managed, the interest
steadily increasing till the dsnouement Is
reached, when the authors genius gives out
and all interest ceases utterly. The whole con-
sistency of the story is sacrificed that every
character shall leave his hands with q certif-
cate of all the virtues-unlike Bret Hsrte, who
can't be happy and allow his characters to be
anything but bad lot Even the one who
might, under good management, have become

"Rose Turquand' has strong suggestion of
Jane Ayre in its general outline, but is
none the less interesting on that account
Rose, a plain frendless child, is left to the
protection ct cruel aunt,a weakly affectionate
uncle, who, BY force of circumstances takes the
hinder seat on the pillion of matrimony, q lot
OF unruly cousins, and a hard goyerness.
To Offset these uncongenial surroundings
the boys tutor is kind and teaches her SO that
with her naturally fine abilities and self-sacri-
deing disposition, she becomes lovely woman
full of Sweet charities for needy hearts"
Being purely work of fiction the introduc-
ton of goblin mysteries in concealed chambers
and along dim, ghostly corridors, with other
weird elements, is admissible, and even adds
to the interest of the story, while the artistic
effect is injured. The tone of book is spirited
and every character is emphatic. and the 'lovs
episodes" charming.

Taken at Their Word.

Inc Democrats are so accustomed to have
their professions distrusted that they are
astounded to learn that President Grant
takes them at their word in his directions to
General Sherman transmitted through the
War Department. Apparently they did not
expect to be believed, and they are unable to
understand how any one could believe them,
and doubtless think that President Grant
shows great want Of sagacity in putting faith
in their declarations. Taken entirely by sur
prise they express their real sentiments and
hastily acknowledge that they were "only
fooling'' when they passed the resolution
calling for the enforcement Of "certain, con-
dign, and effectual punishment" upon per-
sons who shall "attempt by force, fraud, ter
ror, intimidation, or otherwise to prevent the
free exercise of the right Of suffrage as pro-
vided by the laws of the country. That is,
they do not desire the protection of innocent
citizens in the enjoyment of their legal and
political rights, nor the punishment of wrong
doers.
The President probably has it in mind to
so distribute troops that it will be possible for
those OF the civil authorities in the South
who desire to carry out the spirit of Scott
Lords resolution to have prompt military aid
in case they find themselves powerless with
out it to carry out the views of the Democrat
ic House as expressed 10 the resolution. He
certainly could do no less than take notice of
the action of the House.
The whole business is valuable as illustrat-
ing the falsity of Democratic pretenses, the
insincerity of their professions of desire to
sustain the constitutional amendments, and
their readiness to make any promises in order
to induce the people to entrust them with
power.

three has been oyerhauling his war record Of
late, and the country has been favored with the
result.
Hero Tilden admits that, personally, be never
raised finger to put down the rebellion, but
then-keep it before the people--he would have
signed the call for the great war meeting in
New York only that it was brought to him
when he was too busy to attend to it. Any
thing more, MIR. Tiden? Nothing more.
Mr. Talbot admits that, personally, he never
raised finger to put down the rebellion, but
then-and he would like the country never 70
forget this-be once offered TO loan horse DUR
