Curtseys to the Wears Wife.

The Leeds Mercu7y publishes state
ment that a little girl has been expelled
from Booton Spa national school for no

seven years old, is under the guardian

dependent, he having instructed hcr,whilc
she was to be very particular in obeying
all school regulations, not to "curtscy' to
the clergyman or his wife. On her being
asked by the latter "whcrc her manners
werc,' she assigned the true reason for
emitting the usual mark Of respect, and
the vicar then desired the schoolmaster to
punish her, which he refused to do. The
master subsequently refused I. request
made to him to cxpel the girl, and the
vicar thcrcupon expelled her himself. 1t
is added that the final result of the affair
was that the schoolmastcr found him.

The Elder. Booth.

One evening, when the elder Booth
was playing Richard III. in a Baltimore
theater, in his maddest mood, just as the
second act was about to commence, a
messenger covered with dust rushed be-
hind the stage, and, before he could be
stopped, was in conversation with the
ragedian. "What!' said Booth, as he
pressed his long fingers on the broad,
white temples as though he had tried to
clutch the brain beneath, "dead, say
you? My poor little child-my loved,
my beautiful one?" And then, seeing
the curtain raise, he rushed on. The
scence between Ann and Gloster was
never better played. The actor gave
the words of the bard with thrilling eff
feet, but there was a strangeness about
his manner that told his mind was not
upon his character. Still the multitude
applauded till the old roof rang again,
and those behid the scene stood breath
less with eager delight. The third act
came out, but Booth was no where to be
found. It was bitter cold
night, and farmer, as he drove his
wagon to market, was startled from his
reverie as he saw horseman wrapped
in large cloak (and it opened and dis
played glittering dress beneath) ride
rapidly past him.
1t was Booth in his Richard ILL., cos
tune! Madness had seized him, and, re-
CARELESS of everything, at the still hour of
midnight. he was going to pay visit to
his dead child. Drawing his flashing
sword and throwing his jeweled cap from
his head. he lashed his horses flank with
the bare weapon until the animal snorted
in pain. The tall, dark trees on each side
of him touched his heated brow with their
silver-frosted branches, and, thinking they
were men in pursuit, the mad actor cut at
them with his sword and cursed them as
he flew rapidly by. At last, after a gal
liant ride of two hours, the horseman came
in sight of country graveyard, and, as
he saw the white tops of the monuments
peeping through the dark foliage like
snowy crests upon the bosom of dark bill
lows, he raised shout wild enough to

member of the tragedian's family heard
a wild strain of laughter that appeared te

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The final adjournment of the
Forty fourth Congress without making the

their duty and the welfare of the people may
seem to demand.
In witness whereof have hcreunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Washing

Of the compact was made ut the time; that a
copy OF it was in possession of MIR. Chase, and
by him shown to Mr.. Lincoln. Old Ben then

No Attack on Catholicism.
In the French Chamber of Deputies,
Minister Jules Simon declared the government
would tolerate no attack on Catholicism,
which they sincerely respected, and which
now enjoyed unprecedented liberty. They
were determined to make all parties respect
the law The government would protect the
clergy while they confined themselves to
their spiritual duties, but would deal firmly
with them if they encroached upon the civil
power The government had hitherto pursued
a conciliatory policy because they desired
peace in France and Europe, but they would
hcnccforth act with firmness.
Enects OF Postponing the Extra Session.
The Department Of Justice will suffer
the most inconvenience by postponment OF the
extra session, as there will be deficiency of
at least $4,000 the 1st of July to be provided
for by Congress. There is no money to pay
officers of the navy for the months of April
May and June; the amount is about $SO0,0OO,
for which they will have to wait until the extra
session Army officers will also be considera-
bly, embarrassed, as they cannot receive their
pay after the 1st of July until the army appro-
priation bills have all been passed.
