A certain noble Earl and priest lived
upon the same Irish estate. Both of the
gentlemen were thoroughly good-na-
tured, but. as they belonged to different
creeds, they considered it necessary ''to
agree to differ After while they met
at the house of mutual friend, when it
was arranged that their aggressions upon
each other should be restricted to the
narrowest limits. They shook hands
and separated on the best possible terms,
on the understanding that the priest
should denounce the Earl once year
from the altar on Christmas Day, and
the Ear! annually, on the anniversary
of the 8oyne, should burn the priest in
efigy.

The White House.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette indulges the following
discourteous and unjust fling at the domes-
tic features of the White House during the
last administration
In the first place, he and his family have
thrown new and altogether wholesome at
mosphere over the White House. 1t is unne-
Cessary to recall the mOrtifying story of the
crowds which found rcadest access here dur.
ing the last administration. 1t Is enough to
know that they have abandoned the place,
feeling that between themselves and the pres
cnt occupants there can be nothing in common
The White House now is an orderly unpre.
tent0us, and, in the exalted sense of the word,
II decent American home. Men of all parties
may well take pride in its changed condition,
and be very thankful for the purity of this ma
tiOnal fountain, from which countless streams
for good or for evil. flow constantly over the
land.
No one can object to any laudatory allu-
sion that may be made to the present domcs-
tic circle of the White House. for it is no
doubt!entitled to all praise, but it is exceed
ing ungracious to draw comparison be.
tween the present and former occupants,
with the remark that "men of all parties
may well take pride in its changed condi-

administration it was filled with impurity

enunciated policy which has been accepted
by the people as IN abridgement of the
rights of citizenship on the part of a large
class of American citizens. We hope
that the Republican party can
survive this even; and that hope is based
upon the fact that it survived rebellion and
Johnsonism, and has proved itself equal to
any emergency that may arise in its his
tory. We rely upon its invincibilty of
principle and power of endurance for it's
perpetuity and success more than upon the
wisdom of any man, no matter how high
circumstances may have elevated him in

JUST at this time 1t may not be amiss to re-
fer to the foolish preference that our people
have for articles of foreign manufacture. They
will make sacrifices to possess something "im-
ported" The Australians are just like the
Americans in this respect, except that in one
case they have gone far beyond us. They
have coined their own gold instead of sending
to Great Britain. The people there look upon
this locality coined money with contempt
They prefer the English made sovereign. and

The Senate and the President.

The New York city press is surcharged
ed to convey TO the the country the idea
that through the late interviews between a
committee of Republican Senators and the
President all differences of opinion had been
rccOnciled, and that the entente cOrdid,c has
been fully established leaving the political
prospect with n roseate hue.
The Tribune says: at is, however, II fact
beyond dispute that, as parties to con-
trovcrsy, the President being on one side
and Republican Senators on the other, each
has better understanding of the views and
purposes Of the other, and u clearer apprc-
citation of each others motives, than before
the interview"
We wish that the facts connected with
the late interviews between the Senatorial
committee and the President would justify
the belief that any better understanding
exists now between these parties and that
they are nearer togetherin insympathya and pur-
pose than they were before they exchanged
views; but to our mind they do not The
President made no concessions on the
mootcd points, but stands to-day where he
stood before, firmly by his policy of appoint
ing Democrats to Office in preference to Re-
publcans, and also on the other points
of difference. This is the present outlook
of this controversy, as the future history
of the matter will establish, and it is
neither wise nor polite to mislcud the pub
lie mind into wrong premises or conclu-
sions. We sincerely wish it was otherwise

The character of the Great Cardinal" is
strongly drawn, and challenges talents of the
superior kind and most subtle nature for its
apt portrayal. The man who would play
Richelieu well should be statesman, diplomat,
prelate, and warrior all in one. He should
have u conception able to grasp and tathom all
these characteristics added to the gilt of Ian
guage and powers of delineation necessary to
their correct eucdation. All these Mr. John
Mccullough displayed in his Interpretation of
the character last night. And yet so naturally
withal that, after few moments progress in
the play the audience seemed to forget that
there was a Mccullough there.
They saw only the Cardinal, France, and
the other historical points of the piece. Me-
Culloughs voice is charming, and mis- elOcu-
ton faultless. His reading is music, and his
acting is so easy, natural and graceful, that
the evening passes away without fatigue or
weariness In Miss Eleanor Carey we found u
JWlie of rare excellence. Her acting displays
true genius, frightened and polished by care
ful training, and exhibited in the most charm
ing and pains taking manner. In "Richelieu"
the whole company did admirably well in its
support Of Mr.. Mccullough and we are glad to
add that the audience expressed its most un-
qualified appreciation. Mr.. Mccullough will
play "Nirgnius' tonight.
