Hint to the ..sods.,,

At New Orleans, as at Memphis, the
gallery gods Of the theaters occasionally
indorse or condemn plays, scenes or
actors IN an unmistaksble manner-in
a noisy style, most annoying to the
people in the dresscircle and ~parquette,
who prefer a q%aieter and equally as
effective mode of exhibiting their ap-
proval or condemnation. During the
recent engagement of Miss Claxton at
New Orleans the Times critic felt com.
PEELED to write the following criticism:
1t only remains to be suggested that
some arrangement should be made for
REFRESHING the honest but vociferous rap.
lures of the gallery.
Those sympathetic and %untutOred
children of nature have 30 little tolera.
ton of villains, and are so prone to pro-
claim their sympathies. in frank though
ribsld eloquence, that we can see no a.
tentative except TO ameliorate them with
an improving and tranquiliziug atmos-
phere of peelers. Nor should we omit
honorable mention of the presence of
the American matron, accompanied by
her infant,
Miss Claxton must have been touched
by the tribute of that infants participa.
ton in the performance. To hear its
voice mingling with the voices of Lou
Use and La Frochsrd" was to be
moved to unwonted emotion. Thank
Heaven this is luxury which the poor
est a enjoy,
We have yet to see the public OCCASION
however solemn and momentous, upon
which the American matron will shrink
from intruding her offspring. We have
yet to witness a representation OF human
folly or vice or wickedness at which the
American infants voice is not lifted up
in lamentation and ~reprcsch.

To the Editor Ct the Ledger
In the Avalanche of the 18th instant
appeared this paragraph, viz So
A verdict for $4,000 has been given M.
d. Welch va. DR.. s G. Snyder in the
Circuit Court for abuse by pamphlets
circulated through the city. +
On the day following the PUBLIC.
LEDGER had this statement:
The judgment of $4,000 obtained in
the Shelby County Circuit Court, by
agreement of counsel or By a misundsr-
standing OF some agreement of counsel,
a few days since in the case of M. ID.
Welch vs.. DIR. S. c. Snyder, for alleged
libel, was set aside this forenoon, and the
case was reinstated on the docket for
trial.
AS the foregoing announcement leave
the public in doubt as to what part /
took, if any, in the agreement referred
to, you will please allow me to explain.
On Monday, the 18th inst, General
Hume hailed me as / was passing his
door in a buggy with DR.. Thornton, of
this city, and said to me, Doctor, would
you be willing to quit Jour controversy
with Welch if be would withdraw his
suit against you and pay costs?" /
answered, mo, | would not" The
General then said, writing and talking
about him will do no good Il had not
written a line against him in six montbs)
He is willing to withdraw his suit, pay
costs and drop it, you ~consenting to a
judgment which he will immediately
satisfy" Not a word was said about
damages" money or a publication by
General Hume. Well, supposing that
the matter was to be finally dropped"
that the judgment sought would be a
simple, informal thing-inoperative for
any purpose of injury to mel turned
to DR.. Thornton and said, 81 can see no
harm in this" and he concurring, l
sssented to the proposition of General
Hume. | could not for a moment en-
terrain the idea that General Hume
would propose anything improper, for
he is a partner of King Poston, whom /
had engaged to defend the suit; had
said TO me a few months ago gr~atuitously
Doctor, | am your friend; l like you
aud | supposed all be had said was said
in the interest Of peace. Nevertheless,
after a nights reflection, knowing what
use could be made Of this concession by
me, l called on Mr.. Poston and told him
what had passed between General Hume
and myself, and said to him, repeatedly
and earnestly, II withdraw my consent
to the understanding obtained by Geu.
Hume; will, on no account, agree to
it" and my ass~everatious were reported
to General Hume by Mr.. Poston, but too
late, he tells me. General Hume had
gone with Welch to the courtroom,
and they had the judgment recorded
there as published by you. a judgment
utterly at variance with my under.
standing Of what had been proposed
and with DR.. Thornton's idea of it.

MEHfHis THEArtR .-Pique, with Miss
Fanny Davenport as Mabel Renfrsw,'
was the attraction at the theater again
last evening. The audience, a large and
fashionable one, filed the tbeater, aud
standing-room was hard to find in the
aisles. This was a high compliment to
a distinguished dramatic artist, the
weather being horrid and most uninvit-
ing. The play was presented in good
style, aud was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss
Davenport had to respond to repeated
tributes of applause, which brought her
before the curtain to bow her acknowl-
edgments. Tonight a change of play
will take place, and Pique will give place
to Frou-Frou, with Miss Davenport in
the title role. The play is of the French
school, it is full of good situations,
its plot is somewhat intricate and its
dialogues are attractive. AS "Frou.Frou"
Miss Davenport stands high with the
critics and the New York public, it being
one of her strongest roles. On to-mor-
row night As You Like 1t will be the
dramatic attraction, with Miss Davenport
as =" Rosalind. At the matinee on Sat1r.
day Pique will be repeated, aud on Sat
urdsy night it will again be placed on
the boards. Already three changes have
been officially announced in the pro-
gramme for Saturday night; iest, it was
to be Oliver Twist; second, it was to be
London Assurance, and now it ia to be
Pique, by special request.

scenes at nm Eastern Court-sIariTaI.
One of the most striking scenes
in the war in the East was the
court-martlal held in the case of M.
Pognon, a courier of a French news
agency, who was attacked and well
nigh killed near Sistova. The tri-
bunal sat in a stable of a deserted
Turkish house at Sistova, and was
composed Of a president and four
assessors, all wearing a uniform of
ozark gray color, and having, as a
badge of office, the bronze eagle ON
their breasts. Upon the table was
a richly embroidered surplice and
q copy of the gospels, richly bound.
Hard by were placed a silver cruel
fix, the tunic Of the wounded man
covered with blood, the courier's
bag which be was carving when
attacked, and with the big stick
with which the blows were sup
posed to have been dealt. The
prisoner, a soldier named Lasnac,
was then brought in, and charged
with having made a dastardly at
tack upon the French correspond
ent in a solitary place. The wit
nesses and interpreter kneel down
and thrice kiss the sacred book.

short consultation, pronounce sem

petitions for the pardon of the Of

after the trial the unfortunate man
is shot at daybreak in a field be-
tween Simnitza and Alexandria.

where ~. Paul vas Executed.

In the neighborhood Of Rome is
a place called the Three Fountains.
Tradition alleges that it is the place
where st. Paul was executed, and
that after his head was detached
from his body the blood gushed
thrice from the latter, and that
three fountains broke from the spot
where it lay. An abbey of French
Trappists was consequently estab-
lished there, but abandoned it in
1921 on account of malaria. The
present pope, in 1868, invited a new
detachment of Trappists to settle
on the spot. They accepted his
holiness invitation, which probably
amounted in their eyes to a com
mand, to come and be killed, and
soon found that they inevitably
would be unless they at least passed
the summer elsewhere. But in
1870 an American visitor suggested
a trial of the eucalyptus globulus,
and they at once acted on the sug-
gestion. The trees, of which they
have now sixty varieties growing,
throve rapidly, and a recent visitor
says that while it must be admitted
that the brethren are still a pretty
seedy-looking lot, yet they still ex-
list, and car even live at the abbey
throughout the year without suffer-
ing from malaria. At this rate
another generation may see the
Campagna a healthy place of resi-
nhncn

which describes NJ. Villemain, the

an ardent imperialist, CHANGED to
overhear some Of his remarks, and
demanded, "How dare you speak
