THE recommendation of Mr.. Simon
Cameron as Minister to England by the
Pennsylvania Republican delegation is
said to be the cause of no little embar-
rassment to the Administration. Presi-
dent Hayes, it is stated, having deter
mined to appoint Pennsylvania to
the English mission, notified the Repub-
lican delegation of that State of his pur-
pose, at the same time requesting them
to unite in recommending some one for
the place. They had meeting and with
singular unanimity agreed upon
Simon Cameron as the man TO receive
the appointment. 1t was an open Sc
cret tina. both President Hayes and Sec
rotary Evarts favored the appointment
of Mr.. Wayne McVeigh, who it was
thought would be acceptable to all par
ties, while it was equally well known
that Ex-senator Cameron would not
prove acceptable to the heads Of the
Administration. Political circles seem
to be about equally divided in opinion
as to whether or no Mr.. Cameron's
name will be sent in for confirmation.

A GENEROUS DEED.-A French SUI

A GENEROUS DEED.-A French sug-
geon'in the late war between France and
Germany tells OF a soldier who did rot
believe in "looking out for number one."
On the 9Th of October, The chloroform
began to give out at Metz. A few local
druggists had tried to make it, but the
product was not fit for use, and the real
article WAS scarce. AT the temporary
hospital of the redoubt, where l was on
duty, we had very little left. As we did
not know how long the siege might yet
last, it was our urgent duty to be sparing
with it. On the morning after the fight
at Ladouchamps, there WAS terrible in
flux Of wounded, and we had our hands
full.
A chasseur OF the guard is brought into
the operating room with his hand badly
shattered. 1t ia found necessary to take
off the bone to which the little finger is
attached. The man comes in on foot,
still holding fast his gun, which he car
ries slung over his back.
"Well, my good friend, we shall have
TO have a bit OF an operation"
II know it, Major that's what I'm
here for"
"Would you like to be made inaensi
BILE ?"
30 dear, yes I've suffered so much
all night that don't think l could stand
it,"
"Are you very particular about it ?"
"Why, is it very scarce now-that stuff
that puts you to sleep7"
I'VE have scarcely any left."
The chssseur reflected moment in 81.
lence, then suddenly:
"Well, keep it for those who have lost
legs or arms but be quck."
He put his poor, blue cravat, still
bloody, in his mouth, lay down and held
out his hand.
The operation over:
did it hurt you much ?''
"Yes, but what can you do i! We poor
fellows must help one another"
Yes; that is it. Let us help one snoth
er. "Look out for number one," cries
selfshness. "Love one another" says
God.

upright with horror. Till compar-
atively recent times, indeed, this
was the version commonly followed
on the stage-followed still, it may
be, by some players, for aught l
know to the contrary. BY way Of
"piling up the agony" Mr.. Gar
rick brought poor "Juliet" to life
before the poison which her lover
had swallowed had begun to take
any effect on him. A quantity of
blank verse, as pn-Shakspearean as
can possibly be imagined, is thus
foisted upon the scene, otherwise a
gem Of exquisite pathos hardly
matched by anything in Boccaccio.
The sudden action Of the drug in
the original play is as appalling,
though OF course not so unex-
pected, as the instantaneous effect
Of the herb carelessly plucked and
eaten by the young lover in the
garden, for which beautifully tragic
story need scarce refer you to the
"Decameron." Romeo has pur-
chased quick, not a slow poison
"such soon speeding gear as will
disperse itself through all the veins,
that the life-weary taker may fall
dead;" in fact, as if shot or stabbed
to the heart, as Romeo, in the Ian
guage Of poetry, proceeds to signify.
And this is the sequel in the church
yard:
Here's to my love Drinks true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with kiss die.
This is enough, one would think;
but it was not enough for Mr.. Gar
rick. The death of Romeo must
be spun out, and the pang of part
ing slowly envenomed by the dis
covery that he has been precipitate,
and might have lived for his living
and loving Juliet. 1t was Garrick,
too, who altered the Winters
Tale" calling it "Florizel and
Perdita;" who altered Tanning of
the Shrew," calling it Catherine
and Teruchio;" who changed GA
Midsummer Nights Dream" " into
an opera, which he called the
" Fairies;" who did something of
the same kind by the "Tempest, :"
though Shadwell had preceded him
by eighty-three years in that labor.
"Cymbeline" too, was altered by
Garrick, and considerably altered
for the worse; as we may be sure it
could not have been altered by him
or any body else for the better. l
do not know that the great actor
took upon himself the altering of
any more of Shakspeare's plays;
but the fact is that most of them
had been altered ready to his hand,
SO that he had only to play them in
their changed shape, as he invaria-
bly, did in preference to playing
them as they had been left by Shak-
speare.

vibrate, and as it approaches and
recedes from the magnet current
Of electricity is generated in accor-
dance with a well-known law. This
current passes over the wire and
attracts and repels the disk in the
telephone attached to the other end
OF the line, this same simple instru-
ment being used in spending and
receiving messages, or rather in
talking and listening.
This is the whole apparatus; but
at the head Office of the company
they have some simple switches and
an attachment for attracting atten-
ton by means Of an electric bell,
the electricity being generated by
a magnet as is the case with the
telephone by attaching any number
of telephones to the line as many
people can hear the message spoken
at the other end.
Attracting the attention of the
gentleman at the Broad street office
the reporter was directed to apply
the instrument to his ear while a
conversation was held between the
two points. A roaring sound like
that perceptible when a shell is ap-
piled to the ear was all that was
noticeable at first. Then a voice
was distinctly audible, saying, 81
hope the gentleman is pleased with
the working of the instrument"
The voice sounded exactly as if the
words had been spoken from the
floor below through an ordinary
speaking-tube, The roaring noise,
it was explained, was the noise of
the street, which the wire picked up
on its way between the two points.
The switch was then called into
requisition and the telephone placed
in connection with the office at
Broadway and Thirteenth street,
and a young man answered the call,
who not only spoke audibly, but
sung rollicking song and whistled
Tommy, Make Room for Your
Auntie," which was so audible that
it seemed as though he must be in
the next room. He wasn't. The
reporter looked. This telephone
has been tried a distance of eight
miles with equally satisfactory re-
suits, and the owners are confident
it can be worked much greater
distance.

The Lnst Story About waIe..

The London papers have been
whispering scandalous things of
late about a recent reported visit
of the Prince of Wales to the
French watering place of Trou-
vile, and about the attentions there
publicly paid by the future sover-
eign of Great Britain to a charm
ing French actress, Mile Massin.
Unfortunately for the story, it turns
out that the Prince of Wales was
not at Trouville at all at the time
when the attentions aforesaid were
said to have been offered bv him to
the actress aforesaid, but has only
been planning a visit to the Duke
and Duchess of Mouchy, at a place
OF theirs in the neighborhood.
The scandal appears to have arisen
out of the appearance of Mile
Massin at the Goodwood races this
year, and out of an incident thus
related by a London correspond
ent of the Toronto Globe:
"This year among the visitors
to Goodwood was very pretty
French actress, whose success on
the Partisan stage is due rather to
her personal charms than to her
talent, and whose reputation does
not stand high even according to
the very lax code of the French
dramatic world. To the surprise
of everybody, this lady was seen
at Goodwood walking about the
lawn in company with one of the
great personages Of the realm, and
the feeling excited was so strong
that when she was escorted to a
seat by the parsonage in question,
all the ladies seated near her.got up
and left their places" So much
for living in "the fierce light that
beats upon a throne"

of soft thin iron. The voice strikes

THE FRENCH TURF.
f. WHITMORE,
Publisher and Proprietor.

How n Horse was DishOnessIy PAIL
ed IN Steeple.OhRse-The Noble
owner Betting Against his own
PARIS, August 20, 1877.-I told
you the ether day of an unfortu-
nate incident that occurred at the
races at Deanyille, where a Jockey
''pulled" his horse to prevent him
from winning. Further details are
now given, and they are still more
unfortunate. l told you that the
judges met at once to hold an in
quiry and decided to annul the race.
On examining into the matter they
found that the owner, the "Comte
de Y" had bet against his own
horse, and he was at once expelled
from the turf 1t seems that the
sum was a very small one, and one
asks with astonishment what fatal
ity led him to commit such an act.
But he came very near escaping the
severe punishment that has over
taken him. He was near the Judges
stand when he saw the great supe-
riority Of his horse over the others,
and saw that he could easily win in
a gallop. This was about half way
round. Count X. (this is the term
for one that cannot be named, or
for man whom one does not wish
to name), began to "hedge," and
had a small advance upon his own
horse at the three-quarter stake.
He then rushed to the gate for the
purpose Of crossing the track, in
order to tell his jockey to win-in
other words, to change his orders.
But the man at the gate would not
let him through. His orders were
to let no one pass after the
start. The Count pleaded in
vain, and he was a witness to the
supreme efforts made by his Jockey
to prevent his splendid horse from
winning, in obedience to orders.
and to the cries, Kisses and blows
from the infuriated crowd when
the race was over. Count X. sud.
denly disappeared. A few of his
friends set out in search of him,
and they found him wandering
along like a man meditating sui.
eide. When they came up to him
they saw that he was in such state
of CONSERVATION that he could
hardly speak. He merely threw up
his hands and let them fall heavily
upon his sides. He wanted to take
the next train for Paris to settle up
his affairs, he said, but his friends
persuaded him to stay and to find
some sort Of an excuse for his act
"What has happened?" he asked in
a wild way. "This has happened"
said his friend, "you are a lost man
unless You can find some way for
exculpating yourself. Find some
thing-fnd some sort of an excuse.
It's frightful what you have done
there" At il o'clock the commit
tee heard the explanation of the
count, and at | o'clock in the morn
ing the sentence of expulsion from
the turf was pronounced against
him. Immediately he was put into
closed carriage, and, cryinglike
child, was taken over TO Harfleur
TO escape the crowd when the facts
became known.
