Two RenntinI Mnmen.

Mrs. Kemble gives this reminis-
cence, among others, in her chap
ter Of cold Woman's Gossip" in
the November Atlantic.
The beautiful sisters Anne
and Isabella Forester with their
brother Cecil, were at Heaton at
this time. They were celebrated
beauties; the elder, afterward Coun-
tess of Chesterfield, was a brunette;
the younger, who married Colonel
Anson, the most renowned LADY,
killer of his day, was a blonde; and
they were both of them exqmsitely
pretty, and used to remind me Of
the French quatrain-
"Vous etes belle. ct votre seur est belle,
Entire vous deux, tout choix serait bien
doux,
u Amour etait blond, CONNIE vous,
Mais il aimait une bruno, CONNIE ellie "
They had beautiful figures as well
as faces, and dressed peculiarly and
SO as to display them to the greatest
advantage. Long and very full
skirts gathered OF plated all round
a pointed waist were then the
fashion; these lovely ladies, with a
righteous scorn of all Disagreement
of their beauty, wore extremely
short skirts, which showed their
thoroughbred feet and ankles, and
were perfectly plain round their
waists and over their hip$ with
bodies so low on their shoulders
and bosom that there was certainly
as little as possible of the perfec-
lions of their beautiful persons
concealed. | remember wishing it
were ooneistent with her comfort
and the general deGorpm of modern
manners that Isabella iForrester's
gown could only slip entirely off her
exquisite bust. | suppose | felt as
poor Gibson, the sculptor, who,
looking at bis friend and pupils,
Miss Hosmer's, statue Of Beatrice
Cenci, the back of which was copied
from that of Lady A r,
exclaimed in his slow, measured,
deliberate manner, "And to think
that the cursed preiudices of society
prevent my seeing that beautiful
back"

A Cantankerous Aetrsn-.

There is trouble brewing at the
Gymnase, and, as usual, there is a
woman in the case. Mime Fromen-
tin, the leading lady of the theater,
has long exercised an empire over
the heart of its director, NJ. Mon
tigny, which is hardly to be ex-
pluined on the score Of beauty or
of talent, as she is old, passee and
a very poor actress. This once
noted theater, owing probably in a
great degree to the influence Of this
parsonage, has gradually fallen into
decadence. To revive its dropping
fortunes, NJ. Montigny petitioned
Alexander Dumas, who is his per-
sonal friend, to write for him a new
comedy. "That | will gladly do, "
made answer the great dramatist,
"but on one condition, namely,
that you will engage Mime Pasca
to play the heroine" This the di-
rector readily promised to do, but
Mime Fromentin, on hearing of the
contract, vowed that she and she
alone should play the leading part
in the new drama or she would quit
the theater. NJ. Dumas refused
fatty to let his play be presented
with Mime Fromentin as its chief
interpreter, Choose between her
and me-" he says to the director.
"Choose between him and me-
cries the unreasonable woman, and
NJ. Montigny, who sees bankruptcy
staring him in the face, has not
strength of mind enough to tell the
cantankerous actress to mind her
own business, or to go about it'll
need were.

then came Dali, and Three cheers
for Misthriss Char-lesw then l, and
"Three cheers for Miss Fannyp
" Bedad, she looks well by gas
lightw exclaimed one of my adj
mirers. "Och, and bedad, she
looks well by daylight too!' retorted
another, though what his oppor-
tunity for forming that flattering
opinion of the commences of my
good looks had been, cannot i'm
agine. What furthe remarks
passed upon us l do no know, as
we drove off laughing, aud left our
friends still vociferously cheering.
My father told us one day of his
being followed up Sackville street
by two beggar-women, between
whom the following dialogue
passed, evidently with a view to his
ediication. "0ch, but he's an
iligant man, is Misther Charles
Kemblew can deed, so was
his brudder, Misther John,
thin, a moighty foine man
and to see his demanour, putin
his hand in his pocket and giyin'

Lord c., whose tall, lathy figure
and prominent teeth were well
known to the pauper population Of
Dublin, having told a tiresome old
female beggar, who was pursuing
him, to "go along" received the
agreeable reioinder, "Ah! go long
wild your own self; ye're like an old
comb; all buck and taath" When
l was acting Lady Townley, in the
scene where her husband complains
of her late hours and she insolently
retorts, 81 won't come home till
four, to morrow morning." and
receives the startling reply with
which Lord Townley leaves her,
"Then, madam, you shall never
come home again." was apt tc
stand for a moment aghast at thi;
threat; and one night during this
pause Of breathless dismay, one ot
my gallery auditors, thinking,
suppose, that | was wanting in
proper spirit not to make some
rejoinder, exclaimed, "Now thin
Fannyw which very nearly upset
the gravity produced by my fathers

audience.

The winter of lS71-72 was un-
usually severe in Arkansas. The
ponds and the smaller streams to
the north were all frozen solid, and
the buffalo were forced to the rivers
for water. The Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad was then in
process of construction, and no
where could the buffalo be better
studied than from its trains. If a
herd was on the north side of the
track it would stand stppidly gazing
and without symptoms Of alarm,
though the locomotive passed
within a hundred yards. If on the
south side Of the track, even though
at a distance of one or two miles
from it, the passage of a train sci
the WHOLE herd in the widest com.
motion. AT its full speed and ut.
terly regardless Of consequence, i
would make for the track on itt
