The hat has gone forth. Temple Bar il
on its last legs. The new law courts arr
raising their giant heads against the sky
Yes. the sky, for we see it at last. There
IS bit Of real blue and white away ur
beyond where the mist and fog has been
SO long lying over us. The new buildings
are ascending higher and higher above
the boarding Of the advertising agent
above the contractors little house, leaving
Temple Bar, a lone decrepit- looking
archway on crutches, with notices writ
thereon that you must drive slowly when
passing beneath it. How are the mighty
fallen! have no pity for Temple Bal.
Three years ago denounced the relic in
the pages of Mr.. Cave, denounced the
Bar as an impostcr in Sylvanus Urbans
own historical pages. 1t was in reply to
the difficulties of finding a last resting
place for the Bar. l advised London to
make it present to New York. 1 have
seen Americans stand beneath it bare
headed in Difference to its age and history.
l have myself knelt at old >shr;ncs, but
not at Temple Bar. 1t may seem un-
gracious, therefore, that ask London to
give it to you.
But if they acted on my suggestion l
should send it to Central Park, not 50
much as relic of antiquity rs a warning
against anarchy, a memento of the splen-
did tyranny of kings, caution against
the ambition Of those who, impressed with
the pageantry Of monarchs, would like to
see the United States under imperial gov
ernment. For Temple Bar represents the
bitterness of regal sunshine. It was the
traitors gate Of "the Merry Monarch
who garnished it with heads that would
have delighted the " buggy" instincts of
the youngest of Helens Babies" And
1t has kept up its sanguinary reputation
even in the days of representative parlia
ments and free and great America.
We have just buried George Odger,
" the tribune of the people," who hel ned
to fling down the ratings in Hyde park.
In the merry days of Charles we should
have hanged and quartcred him, and dec
Grated Temple Bar with his remains. Mr..
Bradlaugh would have contributed SIM
liar articles to the Bar. Even Mr.. Bright
would have been asked for his head. In
stead of that, he has actually been allowed
to say of the government of his country
that he would collect any day a better set
OF men from the. miscellaneous crowd
passing through Temple Bar. No, these
are not the days for Temple Bar. Let it

never again see SO glorious day as that
when Queen Victoria and her son passed
beneath its portal, their paths strewn with
violets, on their way to thank God at St.
Paul's for the life that had so long been
held in the balance. Yet even on that
day, when the illuminations were begin
ming to disperse the evening mist, the cruel
Bar pinched and crushed people to death,
suffocating them in its narrow ways, ieal-

The Elder 1 :. Booth.

Ono evening, when the elder Booth
va plsying Richard III. In I Baltimore
tneate!, in his maddest mood, Just as tho
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
tragedian: "What!" said Booth, A. he
pressed his long fingers on the broad.
white temples as though he had tried to
Clutch the brain: beneath, "dead, say
youF My poor little child-my loved,
my beautiful one2" 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 81.
rect, but there was 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
reverle 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 III. cos
tune! Madness had seized him, and. re-
gardless 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 er-trosted 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 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
have scared the ghosts from their graves.
he dismounted, and away sped the rider
less horse over hill and dale. It was but
the work Of moment land the insane are
cunning beyond Imagining to wrench
the wooden door from the vault contain
ing the body Of his child. He seized the
tiny coffin in his arms, and. with the
strong arm of desperate man he tore
open the lid, and in moment the cold
blue lips Of the dead child were glued to
the dead actors! The next morning some
member of the tragedian's family heard
a wild strain Of laughter that appeared to
come from his slecping-room. fhe door
was forced open, and Booth was discov-
cred on his bed, gibbering in idiotic mad
mess, and caressing the corpse Of his little

The Special 1esaa>n.

A Washington special says the Cabinet
was in session two hours Monday, and dis
cussed various subjects, one Of the most i'm
portant being the proclamation converting an
extra session OF Congress. A suggestion was
made that a session be called to meet June
18th instead Of June 4th, as already agreed
upon, and this proposition was favorably re-
oeived, though it was not finally determined to
change the date. The phraseology of the doc
ument was considered and agreed upon.
